Crossover Anime Daily Life: My Fiancée is Sora Ginko

Is it BT?!

"Pfft! Young Master, don't misunderstand. It's because Uncle Shengshi especially loves soaking in hot springs, so his gatherings with his friends often start with a hot spring."

With a smile, Shoji said, "Besides, Uncle Ikushi has a very famous saying... which is: the friendship between men can only be truly elevated by going to a hot spring together!"

"Ah~, this is outrageous hospitality~."

Luo Chen silently pressed his temples, inwardly cursing this Rank 9A. He was indeed a freak!

However, it has come.

"Fine, take me there," Luo Chen said.

"Hi! Thank you for your understanding! I'm so grateful! Please come with me to change your clothes."

Asuka looked relieved, her whole body relaxed considerably after Luo Chen agreed, her muscles no longer tense. She quickly bent down and reached out to guide the way.

Chapter 381 The Gathering of Nine A

Walk through a series of ancient corridors.

Because of the hot springs all around, the temperature in the corridor was also very stuffy.

Luo Chen noticed that even though Asuka was wearing short sleeves, her fair neck was covered in beads of sweat from the heat.

It is clear that working part-time at a bathhouse is not an easy task.

"Have you been helping out at the bathhouse the whole time?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask curiously. He felt that if such a delicate girl had really been persisting all along, then this Ms. Ikushi Asuka was not to be underestimated.

"Eh~?"

Asuka paused, caught off guard by Luo Chen who suddenly appeared behind her. Startled, she quickly ran a few steps before lowering her head and whispering, "Yes."

"Because I've always enjoyed running a business since I was little, and my father happens to like hot springs, so we've always run the bathhouse."

"Of course, I also read books in my spare time, and I also really enjoy shogi. My biggest dream is to become a professional female shogi player."

"It's just that my father doesn't seem to like him much..."

Asuka Ikishiro seemed to have been suddenly opened up, but when a certain topic came up, she forcibly shut her mouth again.

"What happened to Senior Shengshi?" Luo Chen asked, amused, before the rest of the conversation had even finished.

I really hate people who only say half of what they mean.

Although, this is actually something that doesn't really concern him.

"No, it's nothing."

Asuka lowered her head even further, and before Luo Chen could speak again, she quickly reached out and said, "This is the house up ahead, young master. Father and the others are already waiting for you inside. Please make yourself at home."

After saying that, the frail girl unlocked the door and fled in a panic, her steps appearing hurried and unsteady.

Luo Chen glanced at the departing figure of the live stone bird again, shook his head, suppressed his curiosity, and muttered to himself: Forget it, what's there to care about? It has nothing to do with me anyway.

The task at hand is to

Chatting in the bathhouse.

Luo Chen gently pressed his temples and entered the soup restaurant.

Soaking in a hot spring and chatting with a grown man is a rather strange and unsettling experience.

He assured that if the person in the hot spring today were replaced by either Manabuchi or Sora Ginko, he would be very happy and looking forward to it.

But then again.

There seemed to be something strange about what Asuka Ikiseki said just now.

She seemed to have mentioned...her father and the others?

them?!

"These 'them'..."

Luo Chen was puzzled. After wrapping himself in a bath towel, he pushed open the innermost door and window. An astonishing amount of heat and steam rushed towards him in an instant.

"Oh? Young friend Luo Chen has arrived?!"

A hearty laugh rang out.

"Tsk tsk! The most legendary leader of the new era."

"At such a young age, you've already achieved the eighth dan title, and you might even reach the ninth dan. Young Master Luo Chen, your abilities are already enough to make us seniors hesitate!"

There was more than one voice!

Once his eyes adjusted to the steam rising from the hot spring, Luo Chen could see clearly that there were four people soaking in the hot spring!

He can recognize them all.

These four, without exception, are all 9-dan A-level players, among the most outstanding shogi players in the contemporary Japanese shogi world!

Ikishiki Mitsuru, Onito Yo, Itoya Kento, and Hatokaku!

NineA Club?

Luo Chen gave a slightly surprised look: "Seniors, what's going on...?"

"Hehe, I was bored and curious about you, Brother Luo Chen, so I thought I'd ask Feibiao to arrange a meeting with you. I didn't expect it to actually work out."

"Brother Luo Chen is being so kind, I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

At the very center of the hot spring, Mitsuru Ikushi stood up with a smile and waved enthusiastically, "Come on, come on, let's go down to the hot spring first!"

Luo Chen shook his head helplessly, got down, found a suitable place to sit down, and then replied, "Since it's a senior's invitation, how could I not come?"

Yu Guitou Yaole, who was closest to Ikishi Mitsuru, laughed and said with a smile, "I like it! I'm growing to like you more and more, my junior!"

"Thank you, senior..." Luo Chen smiled.

"Everyone, now that we've really invited Brother Luo Chen out, let's stop hiding things and just ask directly, shall we?" Jiu Daijue's eyes hadn't left Luo Chen since he entered the room, filled with a probing gleam.

“Indeed, I’ve been curious about Luo Chen’s talent for a long time,” Kento Itoya said, stroking his chin.

At the same time, both Shengshi Chonghe and Guitou Yao turned their attention to him.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "Talent?"

“Brother Luo Chen, don’t be in such a hurry. Let us guess first… After so many rounds of matches, based on what we’ve seen and guessed, your talent is most likely in interpreting extensions, right?” Sheng Shichong said.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment.

Yu Guitouyao smiled and said, "Although hidden talents may indeed become an ultimate weapon at certain times, after such an intense competition, Brother Luo Chen should have already demonstrated them. So, whether you say it or not, it doesn't really matter."

Besides, Brother Luo Chen, don't worry. Even if it's true, and you want to hide it, we are all extremely tight-lipped.

Also, before you speak, we can have each of you introduce yourselves, Brother Luo Chen. Of course, we'll also truthfully inform you about the abilities of your next opponents, Shinonome and Meijin.

"I'll go first."

Kento Itoya nodded, being the first to agree with Yo Kito, and said with a smile, "Actually, as I've gotten older, my strength has declined quite a bit. My current limit for judgment is about 1700 moves."

Like being haunted by a nightmare, utterly overwhelmed! Until the very end, it felt like a nightmare had ended, and with that, the game was lost.

Chapter 382 The 'Talent' Consultation Among the Members of the 9A

"Like being haunted by a nightmare?"

If playing against this person would produce such a reaction, that would be truly terrifying.

However, Kento Itotani's talent sounds somewhat terrifying, but thinking about it again, it seems a bit... weak.

He particularly noted that Kento Itoya had just said that one can only continuously expand one's advantages when one already has them.

In that case, what should we do about the disadvantages?

"Hehe~, Brother Luo Chen, have you noticed this too? Don't be fooled by the intimidating name of this old guy, Kento Itoya. If it really came down to a fight, he might be the easiest one to take down among all the 9A soldiers!" Mitsuru Ikushi teased.

Kento Itoya rolled his eyes at him and cursed, "Bastard!"

However, it was not denied.

Luo Chen tilted his head to look at Kento Itoya, and then looked at Mitsuru Ikuishi.

Mitsuru Ikushi continued, "The condition is simple: as long as you can make more than 2000 judgments and maintain the situation in your favor, Kento Itoya will have absolutely no way to deal with you!"

"Sekishi! You little brat, at least give me some face! Even if that's true, my reputation as a member of the 9A team can't be spared, can it?" Itotani Kento couldn't help but curse again.

"That's true."

Mitsuru Ikushi nodded and said with a smile, "That's why it's generally difficult for an 8-dan player to make more than 2000 moves in their interpretation. So, during his most glorious era, Kento was truly the nightmare of all 8-dan players by himself. Many 8-dan players would rather play against the chairman than against Kento. That's how the title of '9A Men' came about... It doesn't have any derogatory meaning."

Kento Itoya's expression finally softened a little. He nodded, looking somewhat smug, but after glancing at Luo Chen, his face immediately darkened again.

They had discussed it before.

Luo Chen's judgment steps have reached at least 2000, so he is completely useless in front of this kid.

"Since Brother Jianren has set an example first, then it's my turn."

"It's a household name," Luo Chen said with a smile. There was no improvement or enhancement in his hands.

In short, whenever I use my best offensive moves, I have the opportunity to enter this state anytime, anywhere, and become unparalleled in attack! On the other side came Yu Guitouyao's faint laughter.
