"Enough with the nagging! This is the way to play shogi in the Kamino style!"

"Then you might as well take my jade general too."

"Uh...cough cough, let's...let's start over!"

……

"I see, that's how the rules are. I understand now, and I'm going to fight back!"

"I've heard you say that at least five times already. Think about it before you say it."

"Stop nagging! I'll definitely try my best this time!"

……

"Hehehe~ Uncle, you were scared, weren't you? This is a puzzle I just looked at, and I finally managed to solve it. Now you're going to lose to me, aren't you~"

Looking at the chessboard in front of me, I compared it with the formations that appeared in the search engine on my phone.

After discovering that the formations on both sides were exactly the same, Hui finally revealed a satisfied smile, and then looked at Bai Ye on the other side with a smug expression.

Meanwhile, Ginko and Ai, who had come to watch the game after their match ended, couldn't help but show surprise.

Although they started watching halfway through, they were still somewhat surprised.

Hui had only been betting for a little over an hour, and she had already lost at least twenty times. The speed was simply too fast.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Hui basically didn't think it through and just downloaded it according to her own ideas.

At first, I thought she was being reckless, but surprisingly, Hui was able to learn something from each loss, and she actually did learn some things.

Moreover, she secretly used her phone to search for opening moves and other such things, and then found all sorts of "sure-win moves".

And this very sentence actually created a rather dangerous endgame for her!

The current match setup is exactly the same as the one in the novel's illustrations.

Furthermore, the explanation above states that as long as the opponent cannot defeat her in one move, victory is assured!

Did they really win?!

This thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of Ginko, Ai, and Sagiri, who was shrunken on the phone screen while watching the battle.

You should know that they have never seen Bai Ye lose in all these years.

Whether it's a formal competition or a casual game, he has never won even when given a six-piece handicap!

But this time, he was defeated by a little girl who had only been learning shogi for an hour?!

You should know that at the start of the game, Byakuya didn't give her a handicap (Hui insisted)!

In fact, they really felt that the outcome of the match was already decided.

Although it's now White Night's turn, as long as Hui places her "Flying Car" in the middle, the match will end immediately.

There's no way Bai Ye can stop her unless he kills her with one move!

"Well, yes, Kei-chan, you do have some talent. If you practice hard, becoming a female Go player will definitely be no problem~"

Bai Ye simply smiled and nodded with some satisfaction, showing no sign of anger or embarrassment, but rather appearing relaxed and at ease.

In fact, people with quick minds can learn shogi relatively quickly.

It's not surprising that someone like Hui, a cunning little devil who has been quick-witted and perceptive since childhood, has some talent in this area.

It's actually quite well done.

"Hmph~ Uncle, don't think I'm clueless just because I'm a newbie. It was mentioned in 'The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!' that there's still a big gap between female and professional Go players. I've even beaten you, Uncle, so maybe I'll have a chance to become a professional Go player myself."

"..."xN

However, although her performance was indeed quite good, her smug look left everyone present speechless.

This girl is really good at bragging; she's so proud of herself just because she won once.

If I ever become a female Go player, I'd practically fly to the heavens...

"Wait a minute, this puzzle seems kind of familiar..."

"Hmm, I think so too. It seems like we've played this before... Oh right! Isn't this the setup you created for the 'Dragon King Battle' three years ago, Dad?!"

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing this, Hui couldn't help but be startled, then stared blankly at the chessboard before quickly glancing at the description on her phone screen...

[This is a brilliant move made by the Dragon King during the final battle between the White Night Dragon King and the Master three years ago, during which the Dragon King entered a prolonged stalemate, ultimately leading to the Master's resignation. To this day, no one has been able to break this pattern!]

……

……

……

It really is an old man's chess game!

Doesn't that mean he deliberately orchestrated this to let her leave?!

"Well, I just happened to glance at it, so I looked back at it out of boredom. It was actually quite interesting~"

"..."xN

No wonder they got into such a mess!

Yinzi and the others all showed expressions of "I see," while Hui was somewhat embarrassed and dissatisfied.

No wonder she said it seemed to be going so smoothly; I thought the uncle was really following her lead.

So it was intentional!

"What? This is so boring. If they're just letting me win on purpose, then there's no point in playing it."

Hui pouted and complained, clearly dissatisfied.

Although she really wanted to win, she didn't want the other person to deliberately lose to her. It felt like she was being tricked when they followed her exactly!

"No, this game can still be played. The outcome is still undecided; I can still win!"

"Huh?" xn

But Bai Ye suddenly smiled and said something that stunned everyone.

A game where even a "celebrity" concedes defeat—isn't it a sure loss?

But now that Bai Ye himself has suddenly said this, it seems like there are endless possibilities!

"Isn't this already destined? Is there any way to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?"

"No, not at all. The pieces here are too scattered; there's no way to end the game in one move."

"..." x4

Isn't that a guaranteed loss?

"However, there are still ways to delay your attack."

Fortunately, Bai Ye quickly smiled and then moved his "Gui Ma" towards the enemy camp.

However, after seeing this move, not only Ginko and the others, but even Megumi, who was a beginner, couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Uncle, are you giving up on yourself?" This move, while able to temporarily stop the opponent's "flying car," only slightly delayed his death.

"Well, we'll find out once we go down."

But Bai Ye still looked very confident, which made Hui a little unhappy, so she just ate it.

No matter what, she's in such a good position, she's unlikely to give up her advantage!

"So that's how it is, putting yourself in a do-or-die situation to survive?"

"Oh! I saw it too! Dad is so amazing!"

"what?"

But just as she triumphantly captured the fourth piece that blocked her path, the two girls beside her suddenly looked surprised and sighed.

Just as she was wondering, Bai Ye smiled and moved his "jade general" aside...

Eh? ! !

They escaped?!

Before Hui could react, Bai Ye had already moved his "Jade General," which had been surrounded, away, thus averting a deadly situation!

Of course, the heavy loss of pieces also put Baiye in a very passive situation, which can be described as a complete disadvantage...

But the problem is, the deadlock has indeed been broken!

Moreover, many of his pieces are located in the opponent's camp, quite far forward, making him a formidable opponent!

"Well, that's about it. The rest is..."

"Wow, that's amazing! I didn't know there was so much to learn about shogi! You suddenly escaped from the brink of defeat and even took the initiative! You're incredibly skilled, Uncle!"

Bai Ye also wanted to say, "That's about enough."

After all, even if he played against himself in the next game, he would still have a 50/50 chance of winning, let alone if Hui came.

Unexpectedly, Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly shouted at Bai Ye, her eyes filled with longing and admiration.

She knew that Bai Ye was the "Dragon King," but she really didn't expect such a magical scene to happen. It suddenly made her very interested in shogi!

"Hehe, this is just a small part. If you like, I can teach you more next time."

"Don't do it next time, uncle, teach me now!"

Hui ignored Bai Ye's words and immediately slid over, grabbing the ground with both hands. She then clung to Bai Ye's arm and began to whine to him...

Uh, that voice sounds so sweet and affected.

When Gin, Ai, and Sagiri saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly complain to themselves.

Although that's how she's always seemed before, it feels even stronger now.

just.

Her eyes looked a little different than before; they seemed to be gleaming with a subtle light as she stared directly at Bai Ye…

"Sure, but aren't you going home today? It's getting late."
