But how did Sakurajima Mai and Sora Ginko know each other?
Yushan Kazuto fell into deep thought again.
"Eat death!" Toumori Sanae looked at Yushan Kazuto and couldn't help but say.
Yushan Heren finally came to his senses and hurriedly continued eating.
……
After breakfast, it was not yet eight o'clock and there was still a long time before the Dragon King battle began. Yushan and the other three walked out of the restaurant and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.
Walking forward along the corridor, a figure caught Yushan Heren's attention.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi lowered his head and followed the crowd towards the restaurant.
Judging from the outside, Kuzuryuu Yaichi seemed much more energetic than yesterday. Yesterday, he was in a listless state all day.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi's condition today cannot be said to be very good, but it is obviously much better than yesterday.
Noticing the gaze of Yushan Kazuto, Kuzuryuu Yaichi couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Yushan Kazuto, with a provocative light in his eyes.
Yushan Heren just shrugged, turned around, and walked quickly towards the elevator.
……
At nine forty-five, Yushan Kazuto and Kuzuryuu Yaichi had already taken their seats in the mysterious room.
Since the seal was to be opened today, both of them came a little earlier.
Mai Sakurajima was still kneeling at the timer, waiting for the staff of the Shogi Federation to arrive.
At 9:55, Ishio Hiromichi finally arrived, holding a small safe.
Sealed chess pieces are usually placed in a secret location or handed over to a respected person for safekeeping. If the chief referee has a high status, there is also a precedent of handing them over to the chief referee for safekeeping.
As one of the few ninth-dan chess players, Ishio Hiromichi's reputation is naturally unquestionable.
Although Ishio Hiromichi has a personal relationship with Hayama Kazuto, his relationship with Kuzuryu Yaichi is closer.
Ishio Hiromichi has publicly said more than once that it was a mistake for Kuzuryuu Yaichi to take Yokoo Nishiki as his master, and today's facts have proved this.
Since Hiromichi Ishio knew both parties, there was no need to worry about Hiromichi Ishio being biased. After discussion by the jury, Hiromichi Ishio was finally chosen to keep the safe.
Walking into the mysterious room, Ishio Hiromichi was not in a hurry to open the safe. His eyes lightly swept over Yushan Kazuto and Kuzuryu Yaichi.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi looked more energetic than yesterday, and Yushan Kazuto no longer looked sleepy, but his expression was still calm.
"Are both chess players ready?" asked Ishio Hiromichi.
Jiuzuryuuya nodded, and Yushan Kazuto also responded: "We are ready."
"Then please open the safe, Miss Sakurajima Mai." Ishio Hiromichi held the safe in both hands and looked at Sakurajima Mai.
Mai Sakurajima blinked slightly, glanced around nervously, and lowered her head.
Fortunately, she remembered the password very clearly. After taking a deep breath, Sakurajima Mai raised her head again and started entering the password.
Chapter 1469 Coronation
The safe was opened, and Ishio Hiromichi took out the envelope. He carefully checked the information on the envelope and the glue seal before handing the envelope to Kuzuryu Yaichi.
"Kujuryu Hachidan, please check the airtightness of the envelope sealing the chess pieces." Ishio Hiromichi handed the envelope to Kujuryu Yaichi.
After a quick inspection, Kuzuryu Yaichi returned the envelope to Ishio Hiromichi.
Originally, he thought that there was no need for too much inspection, but considering the process of the Dragon King battle, he still took a look at it.
"Then please open the envelope, Ms. Sakurajima Mai." Ishio Hiromichi handed the envelope to Sakurajima Mai.
Mai Sakurajima took out a knife, opened the envelope in front of everyone, and took out the recording paper.
Ishio Hiromichi took a look at the contents on the recording paper, blinked slightly, stretched out his hand, placed the chess pieces according to the contents written on the recording paper, and immediately left the mysterious room.
Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink. He didn't expect that Kuzuryuu Yaichi could take such a step.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto's expression, Kuzuryuu Yaichi couldn't help but raise his head with a faint smile on his face.
After thinking for more than three hours, he finally came up with a brilliant move. In Kuzuryuu Yaichi's opinion, even if he could not defeat Yushan Kazuto with this move, it would be enough to create considerable trouble for Yushan Kazuto.
Normally, Yushan plays chess without thinking, but now he is lost in deep thought, which seems to confirm Kuzuryuu Yaichi's judgment.
……
In the commentary room, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but blink slightly when watching Kuzuryuu Yaichi's move.
At least in her eyes, once Jiu Tou Long Ya made this move, it meant that the attacking and defending positions had changed.
His gaze shifted from the chessboard to Yushan Heren. Looking at Yushan Heren's thoughtful look, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
But in fact, Yushan Heren was just a little surprised, not thinking hard.
This move was indeed a brilliant one, but every move made by Yushan Heren was far more ingenious than this one.
Yushan Heren was just a little curious. Kuzuryuu Yaichi's move was in line with the basic application of Tulongwei.
I don't know whether the other party did it by luck or figured it out after carefully studying his own chess moves.
He raised his head and glanced at Kuzuryuu Yaichi, who seemed to have a somewhat smug expression on his face.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. He couldn't help but doubt, did Kuzuryuu Yaichi think he still had a chance to turn the tables?
Although from the surface the situation seems to have changed the offensive and defensive positions, in reality this state can only last for ten moves at most before it completely collapses.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi’s calculation ability is good, but he can only see about ten moves at most, which is still a long way from Yushanheren.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, picked up the shogi piece, and placed it on the board.
……
"I lost."
The situation on the scene was beyond redemption, and Kuzuryuu Yaichi had no choice but to stand up and speak.
His chess playing time had run out, and he couldn't even think for a long time.
Yushan Kazuto also stood up, nodded, turned around and walked out of the mysterious room.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto's back as he left, Kuzuryuu Yaichi couldn't help feeling a little unwilling.
I originally thought that I could at least cause some trouble to Yushan Heren, but I didn't expect that I would still be defeated so easily by Yushan Heren.
Noticing Kuzuryuu Yaichi's gaze, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but turn around, take a look, and then shrugged.
Although he had won the Dragon King crown that originally belonged to Kuzuryu Yaichi, Yushan Heren did not feel any sense of accomplishment. The whole process was too dull and it was difficult to arouse Yushan Heren's emotions. He only felt neither sad nor happy.
After turning the corner, a group of people walked up quickly.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly, knowing in his heart that he would have to attend the award ceremony for the Dragon King Battle later.
……
"Now I should call you the Dragon King of Yushan."
Following Kong Yinzi to a more secluded place, Kong Yinzi joked rarely.
"What? I've never called you Queen Sora Ginko before." Yushan Heren said unhappily.
Hearing the title of "Dragon King", Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
It’s not because he’s happy, but because of the Dragon King’s inherent crooked mouth.
Hearing what Yushan Heren said, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but blush.
"But thank you very much, thank you for saving me from the crowd." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but glance at Yushan Heren: "It's okay."
"What are you going to do later? Still reviewing the battle with the Dragon King?" asked Yushan Heren.
"Yeah." Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and nodded slightly.
"Why don't you stop reviewing? I'll treat you to lunch." Yushan Heren looked at Kong Yinzi with a smile.
Kong Yinzi blinked slightly, looked at Yushan and others, and said, "What are you going to eat?"
If it's puffer fish dishes, Sora Ginko is not very interested.
"Kyushu cuisine, and it is said to be the most authentic Kyushu cuisine." Yushan Kazuto said.
Speaking of Kyushu cuisine, it did arouse some of Sora Ginko's interest.
"Where?"
"It's in Kitakyushu City.
After eating Kyushu cuisine, we went straight back to Tokyo from Kitakyushu Airport." said Yushan Kazuto.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto. She and Sakurajima Mai came to Shimonoseki from Tokyo together, so naturally they had to go back together.
After thinking about it, Kong Yinzi shook his head.
If it was in Shimonoseki City, it would be no problem for Kong Ginko to go there, but in Kitakyushu City, it would take nearly two hours just to go back and forth from the hotel.
"Is that so?" Yushan Heren blinked, feeling a little regretful.
After looking at Yushan and others, Kong Yinzi said, "I'll come to see you in the evening."
Hearing Kong Yinzi's words, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blush, but he immediately understood what Kong Yinzi meant: "Would you like to come over for dinner?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Kong Yinzi said coldly.
It is not clear how long it will take to recover, but I have already decided to return to Tokyo today.
"Okay, let's contact each other then." Yushan Heren nodded.
Kong Yinzi also nodded and pointed to the passage on the side: "You can go downstairs from the elevator over there."
Looking at the freight elevator on the side, Yushan Kazuto nodded.
"I go first."
The room was very small and the two had been together for a while. Kong Yinzi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Wait." Yushan Kazuto shouted.
"I'll give this back to you." Yushan Heren handed the folding fan to Kong Yinzi.
"Thank you for your great help. If I didn't have the folding fan, I might have fallen asleep while playing chess." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
After taking the folding fan, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but glare at Yushan Heren before walking out of the room.
Chapter 1470 Escape
"Kazuto-senpai, congratulations on becoming the Dragon King!"
"Messenger, congratulations."
"Congratulations, Yushan the Great Demon King Death!"
Back in the room, Toumori, Sanae and the other two gave their blessings, but Yushan Kazuto just smiled and said:
"Have you prepared your luggage?"
"Everything is packed." said Tsuchimaki.
Looking at the three people's neatly packed luggage, Yushan Heren blinked slightly.
"If you're ready, let's go."
"Go to death now?" Toumori Sanae couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto.
She vaguely remembered that the restaurant reservation time discussed last night seemed to be half past twelve.
"Go there earlier and return to Tokyo earlier." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
Seeing Toumori Sanae's thoughtful look, Yushan Kazuto said with a smile, "We said last night that 12:30 is the latest opening time of the restaurant. If we go there earlier, we should be able to eat earlier."
After hearing what Yushan Kazuto said, Toumori Sanae nodded, stood up and picked up her suitcase.
"Let's go, it's already past eleven o'clock." Yushan Heren stretched and said.
I originally thought that everything could be resolved by half past ten, but I didn't expect that the press conference alone would last more than half an hour, and afterwards a large number of media wanted to interview me.
If it weren't for Sora Ginko's help, Yushan Kazuto doubted whether he would be able to conduct the interview until the afternoon.
