[Comprehensive] Morning flowers and evening pick up

Chapter 81 Party

After the new first stage, Shinichiro Ikaku won six and a half.

During the replay, Kuwahara Inbo looked very happy and was very interested in the conversation. He rarely sat opposite Ikaku Shinichiro, but let Kuwahara Asama sit there. The shoulders made Yijiao quite awkward.

After the replay ended, Kuwahara Asama stopped Yijiao, "I'm really sorry today, grandpa is just too happy."

Izuku Shinichiro was a little puzzled.

Kuwahara Asama shrugged, "Grandpa is just happy to see good chess players."

Yi Jiao suddenly felt embarrassed, he coughed, "No, I'm still far behind..."

Kuwahara Asama nodded slightly, and then left the chess academy.

Recently, young chess players are discussing the Beidou Cup.

The Beidou Cup is a youth Go tournament held by Beidou Communication in Japan, China and South Korea.

Ever since He Gu knew about it, he was extremely excited, and he hastily told the news to his friends.

"Beidou Cup?!" Yijiao asked Hegu joyfully, "Junior Japan, China and South Korea Three Kingdoms Competition? I have passed this year, and I can also participate in the competition!!"

He Gu looked at Yijiao speechlessly, "I've said the following, only Nase has the chance to qualify this year."

Yijiao lowered his head in frustration, "Ah..."

"Speaking of which, only you, Izuku, won this new first-stage match!" He Gu put down his things, "Nase and Menxie both lost."

"Kuwamoto Inbo's chess skills are very strong, but I feel that he seems to be playing guide chess, and I have benefited a lot!"

"This Beidou Cup qualifier is tentatively scheduled for February next year, but..." Hegu's expression became ugly, and he said the news he inquired after he got the news, "We have so many young chess players competing for that One quota."

"One quota?!" Yijiao said in surprise, "How come? Isn't it three people in the team competition?"

"Taya Ryo and Kuwahara Asama are already the default contestants." Kazuya sighed, "Shinto Hikari was furious when he found out about this, he said it was unfair."

Yijiao was silent, and said after a while, "That's something that can't be helped, who made them all enter the round-robin round."

"First, the Chess Institute conducts a budget competition. Four candidates will be selected, two will be selected from the central part, and two will be selected from the Kansai Chess Academy. There will be a total of eight people competing for this spot." He Gu clenched his fists, "The competition is quite fierce."

At this moment, Shindo Hikaru pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Hegu and Yijiao's expressions were ugly, he couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Yijiao and Hegu looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "It's nothing."

"Where's Nase?" Yijiao changed the subject, "Are we the only ones in today's training session?"

"Well, there are four of us."

Regarding the Beidou Cup competition, Asama Kuwahara has already been notified by the chess academy, and has also confirmed that he will participate. In the past few days, he and Ta Yaliang are sorting out the chess records of the new chess players from China and South Korea.

"Sure enough, our biggest enemy is still Gao Yongxia?" Asama Kuwahara looked at the chess record in his hand, and was amazed, "This hand corner is quite beautiful, no wonder Jin Kangri lost the [-]th dan."

Ta Ya nodded, "This game record is also good. It's South Korea's Lim Il-hwan's [-]th dan against Han Chengyeol's [-]th dan. Although he lost, there are a few tricks in it that are worth noting, so we need to pay attention."

Kuwahara Asama and Toya Ryo got together and collected these chess records by category. Most of these game records were passed down by Taya Yukihiro from abroad.

Since Toya Yukihiro retired, he often travels abroad, meets some young chess players, and likes to play chess with them, and sends back some chess records from time to time.

Kuwahara Asama asked while recording the game record, "How is Master Taya's performance in the Siege League?"

"It's not clear, but my mother said that my father is very happy playing chess these days." Ta Yaliang said softly, "After all, I can play chess with more people."

"We can do it in the future!" Kuwahara Asama laughed, "One day, we can climb to the top too."

Taya Ryo raised his chin slightly, "Of course."

Kuwahara Asama suddenly asked, "Who do you think will win the Hokuto Cup preliminaries?"

Taya Ryo said without thinking, "Naturally it's Hikari Shinto."

Kuwahara Asa raised his eyebrows, "You really have confidence in him."

Ta Yaliang raised his hand and put down a piece on the chessboard, "It's not so much trusting him, but trusting myself."

He looked at the chessboard with a calm voice, "A chess player who can be recognized by me will never lose in this kind of game."

Kuwahara Asama was thoughtful, "I heard from my father that there is a new chess player in the Kansai Chess Academy. He is very strong. I don't know who will win compared with Shinto Hikaru."

"New shogi player?" Taya smiled, "Shinto Hikari has already started playing against high-ranking shogi players, and new shogi players don't have this experience."

Kuwahara Asama was right when he thought about it, "You're right, even if a newly promoted chess player is strong in chess, he probably won't have enough experience in the game."

He thought of the upcoming fifth game of the Chess Master Tournament, "You and Ogata-senpai's Chess Master Tournament is the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Well, I think the state is not bad." Ta Yaliang said confidently, "This round should be able to win."

Kuwahara Asama reminded him, "Don't underestimate Ogata-senpai, I met him in the Honinbo round-robin competition, and he was beaten up."

Taya laughed loudly, "Ogata has always had deep resentment towards Kuwamoto Inbo, so I don't blame him for being cruel to you."

Kuwahara Asahi chuckled, and he said meaningfully, "Then I'll wait and see."

Three days later, the day of the Chess Tournament happened to be the second round of the second qualifying round of the Celebrity Tournament, and Shinto Hikaru faced his teacher Morishita Kudan.

Kuwahara Asama didn't go to the chess academy that day, and he had less than a month left in his junior high school career. The scene when he entered school three years ago is still vivid in his memory, but he is about to graduate today.

On this day, the students of the third year of junior high school resigned from all school positions, and Keigo Atobe naturally handed over the president of the student union to the next class of juniors. He knew that there was a match on the day of Kuwahara Asama's graduation ceremony, and he might not be able to participate For the graduation ceremony, Kuwahara Asama was called to attend the class reunion in advance.

Kuwahara Asama looked at the chattering classmates and felt emotional.

In his impression, these classmates are extremely strange, like a symbol, and have no intersection with him.

Keigo Atobe stood in front of everyone, "It's the last gathering before graduation. I have reserved the clubhouse for a day. Let's have fun today!"

The students laughed out loud after hearing this, and then felt a little sad in their hearts.

Not everyone went straight to high school, and some, like Kuwahara Asama, entered the family business early, or planned to go abroad for further study. Three years of classmates, no matter whether they were happy or angry, stopped abruptly today.

There is a big ballroom in the clubhouse, the music representative in the class is playing the mic, and the clear and loud singing is lingering in the ear, many male students take this opportunity to invite the female students around them to dance, and at this moment, the female students None of these boys were rejected.

Asama Kuwahara was sitting in the corner with a glass of orange juice, and smiled involuntarily as she watched the classmates who were cheerfully playing.

Atobe Keigo came over and sat opposite him, "Why don't you go dancing?"

Kuwahara Asama shrugged, "I won't."

"Cheating ghosts?!" Keigo Atobe snorted coldly, "You can't dance?"

Kuwahara Asama grinned, "I can dance Noh."

Atobe Keigo was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"This joke is not funny at all." He said with a smile, and then his expression became sad. "After high school, I won't be able to play tennis."

Kuwahara Asama lowered his eyes slightly, and he said softly, "But last summer, Ice Emperor didn't become the national champion!"

"Yeah, do you think I'm a failure?" Keigo Atobe's tone didn't sound a bit depressing, he actually smiled, "In the last summer, the results of the Hyotei Tennis Club are not as good as last year? "

"...As long as you feel that you have no regrets, that's enough."

"It would be a lie to say that there is no regret." Keigo Atobe sighed, playing with the wine glass in his hand, the deep red wine was rippling with intoxicating waves, "Just looking at Echizen Ryoma, I suddenly felt very greedy."

"I want to win the game, I want to squander my youth, I want to get something with my own hands..."

"I used everything I could, trying to find a way to send Ice Emperor to the national competition, train with everyone, and invite the best trainers..."

"Then I discovered that in this world, it's not that what I want, I can definitely get."

Keigo Atobe smiled.

"It's really a rare experience."

Kuwahara Asama also smiled, "Yes, if you work hard, you may not get results, but if you don't work hard, you are destined to get nothing."

"Is it worth working hard for that slim possibility?" Keigo Atobe laughed, "We think it's enough to be worth it, isn't it?"

Kuwahara Asama looked at Keigo Atobe, who was more and more proud and flamboyant between his brows, without a trace of gloom, and nodded with a smile, "Yes."

"So, I'm sorry, but not sorry."

Atobe Keigo put down his glass, and he saw the deputy squad leader walking towards him.

He said to Kuwahara Asama, "I kind of understand your original choice."

Kuwahara Asama looked at the boy in a silver-gray suit. He took a step, as if he was growing. Step by step, he walked up to the deputy monitor, bowed slightly, with an elegant and calm demeanor, and a confident smile, "Can I have the honor to invite the beautiful How about dancing with the ladies?"

The deputy squad leader is a girl. She is wearing a blue dress today and has a bright smile.

"Ara~ being the dance partner of Prince Atobe is the best gift I got before graduation!"

The two are dancing on the dance floor.

Kuwahara Asama smiled and put down the orange juice in his hand.

They have all grown up.

He changed to an empty glass, and the black stripe on his back poured him a glass of...grape juice naturally.

Kuwahara Asama took a sip and stared at Heijo, "Why not red wine?!"

The black bar looked back innocently.

Kuwahara Asagi curled her lips, "Forget it, let's make it up."

Hei Tiao grinned, extremely proud.
