“I already said, its name is Love, not some little brat…”

"Get out of my way right now!"

"Hmph, get out of the way then. I don't care for breasts that are as hard as a board when I sleep..."

"What did you say?"

……

The room was quite lively, but Dongfang Chen remained unmoved, enjoying his morning tea as he pleased.

Although Sora Ginko has a rather bad personality and is quite skilled at using sharp tongues, she is actually a girl who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

She's just not good at expressing her feelings.

"Master, help! This woman has gone mad! Master, help!"

It wasn't until Hina Tsuru Ai cried out for help that Dongfang Chen slowly got up and went inside.

Then you see Hinatsuru Ai being ridden on by Sora Ginko, who is holding Hinatsuru Ai's hands in place, making Hinatsuru Ai unable to move...

Nine-year-old elementary school student Hinatsuru Ai challenged 14-year-old junior high school student Sora Ginko and was completely defeated!

He was both amused and exasperated as he separated the two to prevent them from actually getting into a fight.

……

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll teach you a lesson later, okay?"

He stroked Hinatsuru Ai's head and whispered in her ear, though Sora Ginko, who was washing up in the bathroom, couldn't hear him.

"Yes, Master, you must avenge Ai and beat that despicable woman to a pulp..."

Seeing the little girl's adorable expression as she gritted her teeth, Dongfang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this moment, the girl was filled with resentment towards Kong Yinzi.

"Crack!"

Kong Yinzi walked out of the bathroom, looking coldly at Dongfang Chen and his apprentice: "Let's go!"

"Where to?" Dongfang Chen asked, puzzled.

“Go to Master’s house!” she said coldly.

In Japan, people take the preservation of traditions very seriously.

Well, since Dongfang Chen has taken on a disciple, he definitely has to take him back to meet their master.

"No rush, it's getting late. Let's have lunch before we go! Senior Sister Yinzi doesn't want to go hungry on the train, does she?" Dongfang Chen said.

Kong Yinzi: "Hurry up!"

……

After lunch, Dongfang Chen and his two companions boarded the Shinkansen bound for Osaka.

At Kiyotaki Kosuke's home.

Kiyotaki Kosuke looked Hinatsuru Ai up and down, then smiled and nodded: "So this is Ai. The Alliance contacted me a couple of days ago, saying that Hinatsuru's daughter had run away from home. I didn't expect that she would run to Tokyo to become your apprentice, Xiaochen."

Dongfang Chen: "As for this, I called her mother yesterday to explain the situation. During the call, Ai's mother expressed some opposition to Ai learning shogi."

Kiyotaki Kosuke nodded: "Well, you'll have to fight for it yourselves. But if Ai really wants to learn shogi, she'll need her mother's support."

"I will try to persuade her mother."

Dongfang Chen raised his hand and patted Chuhe Ai's head.

Kousuke Kiyotaki: "Well, you're not a child anymore, and you have the ability to be independent. Even as your teacher, there are many things I can't interfere with too much. All I can do is offer suggestions and help you out."

"Thank you, Master." Dongfang Chen nodded.

Kiyotaki Kosuke looked at Hinatsuru Ai with a kind expression and said, "Ai, you've really decided to learn shogi from Shinobu, right?"

Hinatsuru Ai nodded firmly: "Yes, I've already made up my mind. I must become Master's disciple, and I want to become a Go player as strong as Master!"

"Hahaha, alright, I, Kiyotaki Kosuke, 9th Dan, acknowledge you as my grand-disciple." Kiyotaki Kosuke laughed.

Kong Yinzi was somewhat dissatisfied: "Master, how can you be so hasty?"

This little girl started going against her the moment they met yesterday, and they even got into a fight this morning. Kong Yinzi doesn't want a niece like that.

Kiyotaki Kosuke shook his head: "It's not rash, you know. I can tell whether Ai is sincere or not. Just like Gin when we were kids, wasn't it because she had enough passion for shogi that she came to me as her teacher and got to where she is today?"

Sora's lips moved, but she didn't say anything more.

Indeed, if she hadn't had enough passion for shogi, even with her talent, she might not have embarked on the path of becoming a female shogi player, or even a professional one.

However, one code equals one code.

Even though Hinatsuru Ai gained Kiyotaki Kosuke's approval, it didn't change Sora Ginko's negative feelings towards her.

dinner time.

Kiyotaki Keika prepared large portions of okonomiyaki and red bean rice, and after distributing a portion to everyone, she sat down next to Kiyotaki Kosuke.

She looked at Hinatsuru Ai and smiled, "Hello, Ai-chan, I'm Kiyotaki Keika, your master's daughter!"

Hinatsuru Ai bowed slightly and replied with a smile, "Nice to meet you, I am Hinatsuru Ai."

Kiyotaki Keika: "I also want to become a female Go player. I'm still learning. Let's work hard together!"

Hinatsuru Ai: "Okay. One day I'll surpass that woman!"

As she spoke, Hinatsuru Ai gave Sora a defiant look. Sora Ginko was busy squeezing sauce and ignored Hinatsuru Ai.

Kiyotaki Keika's lips twitched. Did she want to surpass Sora Ginko?

To be honest, Kiyotaki Keika didn't dare to even think about it. She was aware of her own abilities; she was not in the same league as Sora Ginko.

But this little girl in front of me is asking for more than a hundred silver coins right off the bat. Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?

Of course, she couldn't say anything, and awkwardly laughed, "Well, there's no need to rush, Ai can take her time. But, in that case, Gin and I will become aunties too!"

Chuzuru asked in confusion, "Auntie?"

Dongfang Chen: "The relationship between fellow disciples is like that of relatives. For example, the relationship between master and disciple is like that of father and daughter and child; disciples are like brothers and sisters and senior sisters; as for love, Senior Sister Yinzi and Sister Guixiang are like aunts to love."

(P.S.: Japanese children generally address their parents' siblings as "uncle" or "aunt.")

As if she had unlocked a new vocabulary, Hinatsuru Ai turned her head and called out to Sora Ginko, "Auntie~"

Sora immediately lost her composure, slamming the sauce bottle on the table and leaning closer to stare at her: "Who are you calling 'auntie'?!"

Hinatsuru Ai wasn't intimidated by her: "What's wrong, Auntie?"

14-year-old Sora Ginko is a little overwhelmed by 9-year-old Hinatsuru Ai calling her "Auntie".

"Ahem, we're eating now, so be quiet."

Dongfang Chen pushed their heads back in.

……

That night, they naturally stayed at Kiyotaki's house.

However, around 9 PM, Hinatsuru Ai's mother called, saying she had arrived in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and asked for the exact address of the Higashikata family home...

Dongfang Chen: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hinatsuru, I brought Ai to Osaka today to see my master. I take Ai back every morning."

"Okay, I want to see Love tomorrow, that's all."

Hinatsuru Akina gave a curt reply and then hung up the phone.

Dongfang Chen rubbed his face, feeling a bit of a headache. He thought this was a tricky situation.

Although I knew from the beginning that Hinatsuru Akina was against Hinatsuru's love of learning shogi, judging from the current situation, it will probably take some effort.

……

The next morning, Dongfang Chen took Hina Tsuru Ai on the Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

As for Sora Ginko, she didn't come along because she had a tournament to play in the next couple of days at the Shogi Association in Osaka.

When they returned to Tokyo, it was lunchtime, and Hinatsuru Akina chose a restaurant as their meeting place.

However, as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, Dongfang Chen narrowed his eyes. It was another evil spirit!

Moreover, it wasn't one of those ordinary evil spirits you see on the street. Looking into the restaurant, you could see a tall, ugly evil spirit standing in a corner.

Its feet were planted on the ground, its head pressed against the ceiling, and its mouth, larger than a manhole cover, was wide open, filled with fangs. Streams of black gas, resembling biochemical poison, were exhaled from its mouth...

Looking at that thing, Dongfang Chen didn't want to go over there.

However, Hinatsuru Ai seemed to have discovered something, and tugged at Dongfang Chen's sleeve weakly, saying, "Mommy, where is she..."

Dongfang Chen looked in the direction she pointed and saw a woman in a black bathrobe slowly stand up and wave in their direction.

Of all places to choose, they had to pick a spot next to an evil spirit. Now, they've been targeted by that creature.

However, since we're already here, we should go over there first.

Without changing his expression, he walked towards Hinatsuru Akina's location. Upon seeing Hinatsuru Akina up close, Dongfang Chen felt that this woman seemed to exude the aura of a superior at all times.

It gives people an invisible sense of oppression.
