Even though her personality and other aspects are very similar to "Yinzi", she still has some doubts about whether she is forcing herself.

This idea had actually crossed her mind more than once.

She didn't think too much about it at first, only about shogi, but as she got older, she began to ponder this somewhat complex and subtle issue.

If one day her personality changes and she becomes completely different from "Yinzi" in the novel, would her master no longer want anything to do with her...?

"That's true, after all, Gin-chan in real life is much cuter than in the novel~"

"Well!"

But someone's answer caught her off guard.

She was feeling secretly disappointed, but after hearing those words, her face flushed red.

Although her master would often tease her and praise her for being cute, she always took it as him praising the character "Yinzi" in the novel...

But now, he suddenly says that she's even more adorable than "Yinzi" in the novel?!

This kind of thing...

That's so cunning!

Please don't say it now, it's so embarrassing!

Even if you're going to talk about it, it's best to do it in private!

However, Bai Ye was naturally unaware of these little schemes.

For him, that was indeed the truth.

Whether his personality changes or not, he doesn't care at all!

Others thought she was "imitating," but only he knew that Yinzi was the "original"!

His novel was originally written in imitation of the original work; what he wrote was simply a work that didn't exist at the time.

Bai Ye also harbored some expectations, which is why she wrote about her...

So, on that day ten years ago, when Bai Ye learned that the girl in front of him who was trying so hard to play chess with him and wanted to become his apprentice was Yin Zi, he really felt a sense of "fate"!

Therefore, he certainly prefers the real girl who is actually around him to the characters he writes!

"Look, ladies, this guy is back to his old ways again."

"I knew it all along, it's basic procedure."

"Yeah, if he doesn't do that, I feel something's not right."

However, while some people are happy, others naturally can't stand to see others doing well.

The three women standing nearby, who were just like that, started complaining, making Yinzi even more embarrassed. She could only pretend not to hear them and stare seriously at the chessboard in front of her.

"Hey, Sagiri-chan, is this kind of thing a frequent occurrence for an older man?"

"Pretty much, there are a few every now and then, I'm used to it."

"...I have to say, he really is an old man."

Meanwhile, Megumi and Sagiri, who were standing nearby, began to whisper to each other.

Even Sagiri had given up on rejecting the idea and started complaining along with Megumi.

She was naturally aware of her father's situation before; he had never restrained himself after getting married and having a daughter.

But she didn't care anymore. After all, so many people had come and gone over the years, and she had basically gotten to know them all.

But even with so many ambiguous relationships, it seems he hasn't married any new women in the past few years.

So for the time being, it's unlikely that Dad and Sister Yinzi's relationship will suddenly progress to that point.

"Speaking of which, Gin-chan is going to a competition this afternoon, right? It seems to be quite important." But at this moment, Bai Ye suddenly asked a strange question.

"Yes, it was a match against a professional Go player." Yinzi nodded and responded calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can ignore the obvious blush on Yinzi's face.

"I see. With your current strength, you might actually have a pretty good chance of winning. Keep it up! Where is the location?"

"Hinatsuru Hotel".

"Oh, I see. No wonder she said she's been so busy lately... In that case, let's go take a bath today and then talk about it. I'll take you with me~"

"……Um."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Yin Zi pondered for a moment before calmly nodding in agreement.

But actually, she was also a little happy.

Actually, she came here today because she wanted her master to take her there so they could spend another day together...

"Hey, uncle, isn't this the Hinatsuru Inn?" But at this moment, someone couldn't help but speak up.

She had just seen this place name several times in the novel, especially since this surname is everywhere!

"Yes, it's the one you're thinking of, it even has hot springs~ Want to go?"

"I want to!"

Now that she had the chance to go to the locations in the novel, she naturally wanted to check them out!

Something really exciting must be happening there...

……

……

……

"Dad! You're finally here!"

"Hey~ Ai-chan, have you been listening to your mom lately~"

"Mmm~! I'll definitely be very obedient~!"

"Good~"

"..."

It seems that something even more "exciting" happened in an unexpected place.

Chapter 174: Busy making a move on little lolis, huh? (Please subscribe)

Hinatsuru Ryokan is a very famous hot spring inn in Tengu City.

The hotel boasts the best natural hot spring in the city. Soaking in it makes you feel as if your whole body has been purified, leaving you with a blissful sensation.

The service was excellent, the environment was beautiful, and the food was extremely delicious.

Although it is located in the city, it occupies a considerable area.

It's less like a hotel and more like a large hotel.

Of course, this is probably also thanks to the skillful management of the beautiful female owner here.

They have been working diligently on the family business passed down through generations, and all employees have been carefully selected, with no superfluous or unqualified staff. As a result, the hotel has been expanding and the business has been getting better and better.

Although it might be related to the Nakiri family, the richest family in the city.

After all, they have one thing in common: the landlady and Miss Nakiri's husband are the same person...

However, these are all external factors. There is another reason why this place is special.

That is……

"Wow!! There are so many people here! Is this the shogi dojo from the novel? But it feels much bigger!"

Looking at the densely packed crowd in front of her, all standing and sitting, each person earnestly engaged in their own battles or watching the action, Hui couldn't help but sigh with genuine emotion.

This was her first time visiting a shogi dojo, though she had seen descriptions of it in novels before.

It is said that the "Hinatsuru Ryokan" has a special place for tourists and customers to play chess. If you get tired, you can take a bath in the public hot spring, which is very pleasant.

At first, Hui didn't quite understand this business model.

What does playing chess (level 16) have to do with taking a bath?

After shuffling the board, shouldn't you just move on?

But after seeing it in person, I gained a better understanding.

These people looked like they were struggling a lot during the fight, and their minds seemed to be overworked. Some were even drenched in sweat, as if they had run several kilometers.

In this situation, going to soak in a hot spring would be incredibly comfortable!

Because of this, the place has always had a very large number of visitors, and its income is quite considerable.

Therefore, you can only know the result of some things by actually doing them; otherwise, you won't even notice them.

"Well, after all, twenty years have passed, and things have changed quite a bit here."

Bai Ye, who was standing to the side, smiled and then explained with some emotion.

Twenty years have passed since then, and the changes seem quite significant.

The area of ​​this shogi hall has been expanded more than three times compared to before!

Even so, people kept coming in droves, and a large number of them were standing...

All I can say is that the proprietress here, his "good wife," is truly a shrewd businesswoman!

Actually, the fact that this place is well-run has nothing to do with his other wives.

Just like Nia and Nanami, their living expenses come from their own manga royalties, and they don't just ask their good friends for money because they are rich.

...After all, it would be embarrassing.

And it's really unnecessary. We're all adults with our own jobs, so we're not short of money at all.

The reason why some people are still working hard to earn money is probably to keep themselves from being too idle.

Otherwise, if someone is like Bai Ye, loafing around all day and not doing anything serious, they won't be able to accept it!
