Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

Ishikawa Prefecture is more than 400 kilometers away from Tokyo. This little girl is really brave to travel so far by herself.

"I haven't agreed to accept you as my disciple yet, so you don't need to call me master. There's another question: how did you know I lived here?"

Although Dongfang Chen has never hidden his itinerary or place of residence, no one is specifically watching him, right?

Not to mention the exact address.

"I... I asked a reporter named Hu, and she said that someone held a shogi tournament at our hotel before..."

Dongfang Chen now knew who Chuhe was referring to.

Yugomi Machi is not only a titled female shogi player, but also a reporter for "Shogi World" under the pen name Kugi, and is well-known in the Kansai shogi world.

If it were that guy, it wouldn't be impossible for her to reveal her information; he couldn't figure out what the noble lady was thinking.

“I understand the general process. However, there are quite a few famous Go players in Ishikawa Prefecture, including several 8-dan players. It wouldn't be a problem to become their student, would it?”

"I don't want to!" she shouted.

"I want to become Teacher Dongfang's apprentice. Because Teacher Dongfang is the Dragon King, and I've heard from the adults that the Dragon King is the strongest. I also want to become as powerful as Teacher Dongfang."

Moreover, the teacher is young and handsome…

Dongfang Chen shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "Even if you become my disciple, it's almost impossible for you to become as strong as me. Besides, even I am far from being the so-called strongest!"

The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation still depends on the individual.

His talent in shogi is even inferior to that of Kong Yinzi. If it weren't for the system's cheat, he probably wouldn't even have been able to become a professional shogi player.

It's so overpowered!

In the world of shogi, without sufficient talent, even the most dedicated effort will not lead to great success.

Of course, Hinatsuru Ai does have a unique talent for Go, possessing a powerful ability to anticipate moves!

"I don't care, I just want to become Teacher Dongfang's disciple. Teacher Dongfang is definitely the strongest!"

The young crane loves to stare straight at him with her big eyes.

Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "Heh, since you're so eager to become my disciple, let's perform the discipleship ceremony later!"

"Eh!?"

Chuhe Ai blinked her big eyes, seemingly surprised that Dongfang Chen had agreed so readily.

Immediately, she jumped up happily and rushed towards Dongfang Chen: "Master~"

……

Inside the hall, Dongfang Chen was sitting on a stool, while Chuzuru Ai was kneeling respectfully in front of him.

Dongfang Chen said, "We don't need all those complicated procedures. Just offer me a cup of tea if you love me."

"Yes, disciple will serve tea to Master immediately!"

She deftly picked up the tea that had been prepared beforehand and respectfully offered it to Dongfang Chen: "Master, please have some tea."

Dongfang Chen took the bottle, sipped it, and nodded: "Then, from today onwards, Ai Ai will be my chief disciple, Dongfang Chen's chief disciple!"

"Mmm! Master~"

Dongfang Chen was completely absorbed in Chuhe Ai's repeated calls of "Master".

Rikka Takanashi stood there blankly, watching this scene unfold, her mind a little confused.

Ultimately, she came to a conclusion: "So, from today onwards, this child is a member of the Thunder Controller's family?"

Hina Tsuru Ai looked at Rikka Kotori with a sharp gaze: "So, who exactly are you, woman? Why are you in Master's house?"

Takanashi Rikka snorted softly, covering her right eye with one hand: "Hmph, you originally had no right to know, but now that you have become a familiar of the Thunder Controller, you also have the right to look me in the eye."

Listen carefully, I am the Evil King's True Eye, possessing the power to see through all that is invisible in this world, and I am a partner with the Thunder Controller, bound by an ancient pact.

Dongfang Chen warned, "This girl is our upstairs neighbor, her name is Rikka Takanashi. Don't learn her strange way of speaking."

Hinatsuru Ai nodded: "I know, my classmates used to say things that didn't make sense, I think it's called chuunibyou?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's just chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), just get the idea."

He doesn't need to bother explaining.

Rikka Takanashi: "Hmph, considering you're just an ordinary human and can't understand the power of the Evil King's Eye, I'll let you off this time!"

Hina Tsuru likes to complain, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Rikka Takanashi almost lost her composure: "W-Damn it, are you challenging the Evil Eye?"

"Boom!"

Dongfang Chen delivered a chop to Takanashi Rikka's forehead: "Is your Evil King's Eye for bullying children?"

Rikka Takanashi covered her head and retreated to the side, muttering, "For the sake of the Thunder Controller, I'll let it go this time..."

Dongfang Chen looked at Chuhe Ai: "Speaking of which, where are your family? Do they know you've come here?"

Hina Tsuru Ai trembled slightly, lowered her head, and said weakly, "N-I don't know. Mommy doesn't know..."

"In other words, you ran away from home."

Seeing her reaction, Dongfang Chen simply lowered his head even further.

"Okay, I got it. Do you remember your mom's phone number? I'll call her to let her know I'm safe..."

Chapter 22 How much money do I need to get my daughter back?

Although Ai was afraid of being taken back by her mother, she still gave out her phone number after being comforted by Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen immediately made the call.

"du~du~du~"

The call was finally connected after about ten seconds.

"Moshi moshi, may I ask who you are?" came a slightly questioning voice from the other end of the phone.

This is her private phone number; no one outside her family knows it.

Dongfang Chen replied, "Hello, I am Dongfang Chen. Although you may not know me, I am currently the master that your daughter, Chuhe Ai, has just become a disciple of."

Hinatsuru Akina: "Master? What do you mean? My daughter is with you now, isn't she? Ai, if you are, answer me."

The young crane shrank its neck, seemingly a little scared, but still replied, "Mommy, I'm here..."

A somewhat angry voice came from the phone: "Ai, where are you now? Why did you run off outside without a word?"

Dongfang Chen: "Ahem, Madam Chuhe, please calm down. I will answer your question now!"

Hinatsuru Akina: "Mr. Higashikata, right? Just tell me, how much money do you want to give my daughter back?"

Dongfang Chen stared at the phone in bewilderment. "Am I a kidnapper now?"

He quickly said, "Ahem, Mrs. Hinatsuru, you've misunderstood. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Dongfang Chen, the current Dragon King of the Shogi world. You can find my information online."

The current situation is that your daughter has run away from Ishikawa Prefecture to the Chiyoda area of ​​Tokyo, where I live now, and wants to become my student, wanting to learn shogi from me.

On the other side, Hinatsuru Akina quickly looked up the name Dongfang Chen on her computer.

Sure enough, a bunch of information about Dongfang Chen appeared instantly, which made me somewhat certain that the other party was not lying to me.

It seems that ever since the appearance of this youngest dragon king in history, his daughter Hinatsuru Ai has become obsessed with shogi, even to the point of neglecting to eat and sleep.

It's not impossible that she would suddenly run off to Dongfang Chen to become his disciple.

However, she herself really hates shogi!

“I see. I understand the general situation. I'll trouble you to take care of Ai for a few days. I'll prepare a small gift and visit you in Tokyo in the next couple of days to bring Ai home. Also, I disagree with Ai's decision to become Dongfang's apprentice.”

Hinatsuru Akina's last words were very decisive.

Dongfang Chen didn't immediately refute anything, but calmly said, "I welcome Mrs. Hinatsuru to Tokyo. Let's talk about it when we meet!"

Hinatsuru Akina: "Okay. Ai, can you hear me?"

Chuzuru Ai quickly replied, "Yes, Mom, I can hear you."

Hinatsuru Akina: "You're not allowed to cause trouble while staying at someone else's house these next few days. You must follow Mr. Higashi's instructions, understand?"

Hinatsuru Ai: "I know. Also, I've already become your apprentice!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Hinatsuru Akina's response.

"Don't worry, I'll convince your mother."

Dongfang Chen chuckled and ruffled Chuhe Ai's head.

"Yes, Master is the best!"

Chuhe Ai happily hugged Dongfang Chen's leg and buried her head in his stomach.

Dongfang Chen glanced at the evil spirit who was still standing aside in a daze. Although he didn't know why this guy kept following Hinatsuru Ai, it was definitely not a good thing.

He didn't care if Rikka Takanashi saw him; with a thought, a blue arc of electricity flashed by, in the blink of an eye.

The evil spirit exploded on the spot like a balloon punctured by a needle, then turned into dust and dissipated.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Hinatsuru Ai seemed to hear a sound like thunder, looked up and around, but found nothing.
