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

Any updates to this kind of competition, the title challenge for female shogi players, will definitely be posted on the Shogi Federation's website as soon as possible.

Dongfang Chen only needed to open the website to find out.

The first headline above is about Sora Ginko, who crushed her challenger in just two minutes in the first round of a title challenge match.

Challenger Tsukiyomisaka Ryou, the female warrior of the Ryuu, set a new record for the shortest duel in history...

"As expected of Yinzi, he's incredibly powerful!" Dongfang Chen praised.

Sora Ginko's face flushed slightly. "Hmph, that idiot is just stupid. He tried to play against me with a game record that the Rewards Club had already cracked a week ago. He was asking for trouble."

"Hmm, this is definitely not enough for you. But why did Gongohan come over? Shouldn't she be comforting Tsukiyomi Saka Ryou?"

Ryo Tsukiyomisaka and Machi Gohan are childhood friends and have a very good relationship.

"Of course it's because I haven't seen Dongfang-kun for so long, and I miss him terribly. So, when I heard that Yinzi-chan was coming to see you, I immediately left Liao behind to come see Dongfang-kun!"

"It is Manchi who is serving meals," he said, peeking out from the kitchen.

Kong Yinzi glanced at her and said, "Shut up and do your job as a cook."

Kong Yinzi disliked Gong Yufan Wanzhi very much, mainly because this woman had seduced Dongfang Chen more than once, which made Kong Yinzi very angry.

"If your friend Tsukiyomi Saka Ryo knew how you betrayed your friends for love, she would cry, wouldn't she?"

Dongfang Chen was both amused and exasperated.

Actually, his relationship with Gogohan Manchi dates back eight years.

Eight years ago, during a tournament for elementary school students, Machi Gohan lost to Ryo Tsukiyomisaka in the semi-finals and sat alone on a bench in a corner of the venue, crying.

At that time, Dongfang Chen, who had also won in the semi-finals, comforted Gong Yufan Wanzhi and made her feel better.

Then, in the finals, he defeated Tsukiyomi Saka Ryou to avenge her...

From then on, Gogohan Manji made Dongfang Chen his role model, as the two of them grew up.

What was once a goal to pursue has transformed into a desire to possess him...

She became a reporter observing the game simply because she herself wasn't qualified to play against Dongfang Chen in a formal match, and wanted a way to get closer to him.

Although, she has come to like that job now.

P.S. I feel out of sorts today; everything I wrote sounds weird...

Chapter 48: Making this stupid elementary school student sleep on the floor.

After a fairly harmonious dinner.

Chuhe Ai tugged at Dongfang Chen's sleeve: "Master, Master, teach Ai to play chess! Ai wants to become stronger, even stronger than Auntie!"

Kong Yinzi snorted: "A mere elementary school student dares to speak so arrogantly. Even in ten years, you will not be my match."

Manji, the servant of the Imperial Rice Offering: "As expected of Dongfang Jun's disciple, you're truly amazing~"

"Alright, alright, I'll stay with you for a while then."

Since I had nothing else to do, I decided to spend some time with them.

Soon, two chessboards were set up for Michi Oi to watch the game for the time being. Whoever lost first would take her place, and they would take turns playing.

Before the game began, Dongfang Chen removed his pieces from the board, placing four against Chuhe Ai and two against Kong Yinzi.

"Well then, let's do something different today. I'll use the 'Xiang Hang' technique, so go ahead and attack!"

Sora and Hinatsuru both prefer an offensive style of play. It's not that they don't know other fighting styles, but they're just not as good at them.

Hinatsuru Ai: "I want to be like my aunt, only needing two."

"That won't do. Starting today, I'll let you have two moves after Xiao Ai beats me once when she has four moves."

Dongfang Chen directly refused, firstly to motivate the young crane to love him, and secondly for his own sake.

Giving way to your children to a certain extent also puts pressure on yourself.

If he can easily defeat his opponent even with a few fewer pieces, then if he doesn't let the opponent have the midnight hour, wouldn't he just be able to kill them indiscriminately?

Although he has reached the ninth dan, he is not invincible.

Moreover, he can gain experience points for his shogi skills by playing shogi on weekdays, although very little. In a game against Sora Ginja, he gains less than one-thousandth of the experience points.

But as long as it's improving and doesn't require spending points, there's nothing to complain about.

Moreover, normal chess players don't accumulate experience points to level up like he does when playing against each other.

Without sufficient talent, insight, and experience, a chess player may stagnate or even regress in skill.

As the game went on, each of them took several turns, and even so, Dongfang Chen remained undefeated!

After resigning in the final game, Machi Gohan sighed helplessly, "Is this the strength of the Dragon King? He's not even in the same league as us ordinary players."

"People shouldn't deliberately compare themselves to each other. Just like you two, Ginja and Gonggohan, you are at the pinnacle for other female Go players, and they are their lifelong goal."

Dongfang Chen spoke slowly.

Both are renowned female Go players and title holders, so their strength is naturally very high.

Kong Yinzi stood up and said calmly, "I'm going back."

"Huh? Wait a minute, it's so late at night, where are you going to go, Yinzi?" Dongfang Chen asked.

Machi Gohan said, "Gin-chan has a title match tomorrow afternoon in Osaka."

Dongfang Chen: "Then it's okay to go back in the morning, right?"

Sora Ginko: "I don't want to share a bed with an elementary school student."

"Get out of here, get out of here! Don't disturb my life living with my master!"

Chuhe Ai couldn't wait for Kong Yinzi to leave.

"Ai beat me to it? I also want to live with Higashi-kun." Gongyuhan Manzhi said with a smile.

"Master loves someone, so all of you aunties, get out of my and Master's house right now!"

Chuhe Ai stood in front of Dongfang Chen, attempting to fight two opponents at once.

Kong Yinzi's brow twitched: "Chen, I'm sleeping in the bed today, let that idiot elementary school student sleep on the floor."

Hinatsuru Ai: "Auntie, you're the one who should be sleeping on the floor."

Machi, the servant: "Then I'll sleep on the sofa with Higashikata-kun!"

Sora Ginko: "Don't even think about it. You better get back to your Kyoto right now."

"Gin-chan is so heartless! It's so late and she still wants to kick people out..."

Dongfang Chen: "Alright, alright, there's another room next door that we can use. Let's have the imperial meal there!"

In the end, Dongfang Chen made the final decision.

Machi, who provides meals, goes to room 203 next door; Sora Ginko sleeps on the bed; Hinatsuru loves to sleep on the tatami mats; and Touhou slumbers on the sofa…

As for room 203, Dongfangchen had already negotiated with the landlord a couple of days ago to buy rooms 203 and 204 for a total of 2100 million yen.

Considering that Chiyoda Ward is a central area of ​​Tokyo, this price is already considered reasonable.

Once the landlord completes the formalities and Dongfang Chen pays the money, the two houses will be his.

Then we can hire a professional renovation team to convert 203 into a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment, and connect it to 204, which will make it much more spacious.

The night passed.

The next day, Dongfang Chen got up early and made a Chinese breakfast for the girls, and also prepared a lunchbox for Chuhe Ai.

Then I woke everyone up and we had breakfast together before everyone went out.

Sora Ginko went to Osaka to help Oi Machi return to Kyoto, Hinatsuru Ai went to the training center, and Touhou Chen went to find a renovation company in advance...

At the end of March, although it was still spring break for students, for many people the holiday was much busier than going to school or working during the week!

Chapter 49: Is it inappropriate to ask someone those kinds of questions?

Monday, April 3th.

Dongfang Chen once again visited the Yasha God's house in Osaka.

Looking at the Yaksha God Ten'i who had his arms crossed and was looking away, he said indifferently, "What? Is it that I, a lousy chess player, still don't meet your standards?"

Yaksha Shin Hongtian patted her little head: "Tianyi, didn't we already agree on this?"

The little girl then reluctantly turned her head: "Just like before, you are only the instructor, I won't call you master."

"Fine, don't call me if you don't want to. I don't care anyway. I heard you either learned shogi from your parents or by yourself through game records and computer games. Today, come with me to a place, and I'll show you a corner of the shogi world..."

Dongfang Chen didn't care about Yasha Shen Tianyi's attitude. Rather than arguing with her here, he would rather let her recognize her own level first.

Minami Ward in Osaka is a place known as 'Shinsekai'.

With over 100 years of history, this district is one of Osaka's most unique and avant-garde areas, and also the place where shogi (Japanese chess) is most popular.

Outside a shogi hall, Dongfang Chen, along with Yasha Shen Tianyi and her assistant Miss Jing, looked through the glass at the scene inside.

It was mostly filled with middle-aged men and old men playing chess.

Dongfang Chen: "Go inside and play a few rounds later! Of course, we'll be right next to you."

"Hmph, looks like a low-level player. Since you've come all this way, you might as well play a few more games before heading back."
