This guy!
No wonder, this afternoon when I was carrying the other person on my back.
Feel.
Absolutely fantastic!!
Luo Chen thought for a moment and replied with a message: "I'm currently attending a banquet outside. When I get back, I'll go to the riverside steps to look for you as soon as possible. Don't worry, there are usually no people there."
Ding Dong!
Nakano Miku replied almost instantly: "Yes, yes! Thank you so much, Mr. Luo Chen!"
Luo Chen smiled and was about to put his phone away when he received another message.
It was sent by Ms. Murasame.
There hasn't been any news from Hinatsuru Ai these past two days, although Luo Chen also wanted to take the opportunity to keep an eye on Chiyoda's Kurashiki Fujika competition.
Unfortunately, I've been quite busy and haven't had much time to proactively ask about anything.
This time, what Teacher Murasame brought was a photo. The photo showed Ai Hinatsuru fully armed playing chess with Shikaro Tsubaki.
There's another passage: "Young Master, Ai is such a hardworking girl. The Kurashiki wisteria flower competition finals are the day after tomorrow. Young Master, although I know you're very busy in Kyoto, please, please, please cheer Ai on before the finals. She really needs that."
Luo Chen pursed his lips and stared at the photo for a while, lost in thought. Even though it was just a still photo, he could still see the determination in Hinatsuru Ai's cute little face.
"This elementary school student seems to be really working hard."
Luo Chen chuckled to himself.
"Luo Chen, 8th Dan, is it convenient for us to chat?"
A male voice, with a hint of femininity but generally pleasant to the ear, rang out beside me.
Luo Chen suddenly looked up and met Si Gong Yunying's face, which was carrying a faint smile. After a slight pause, he smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"Calling me 'Young Master Shinomiya Un' is too formal. Although I am indeed a few years older than you, since you are Kaguya's good friend, why don't you just call me Brother Un'ya, just like Kaguya did?" Shinomiya Un'ya said with a smile.
Luo Chen picked up his wine glass, took a small sip of red wine, and did not reply.
"Yes." Luo Chen nodded.
Shinomiya Un'yō smiled and said, "Since that's the case..."
"Besides being classmates, I'm also the student council president at Shuchi Academy, and Kaguya is the vice president. I must say, Kaguya is truly a very capable and satisfactory assistant in handling school affairs!" Luo Chen praised.
Shinomiya Un's lips twitched.
"Oh right, Young Master Shigong Yunying, what were you trying to say just now?" Luo Chen asked Shigong Yunying with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"It's nothing," Shinomiya Un'yō said with a faint smile.
"Really?" Luo Chen blinked.
“It’s not entirely without hope… Just a heads up, Kaguya is planning to leave Kyoto tomorrow at noon. If your match ends quickly enough, you can see her off. I can arrange a car for you,” said Shinomiya Un'taka.
"No need," Luo Chen politely declined, saying, "Tomorrow's match is really tough. Not to mention that I'll most likely get a lesson from Shinonome-senpai, if I lose the match, I probably won't be in the mood to go out. Even if I do manage to win by luck, I'll probably be drenched in sweat. Please apologize to Kaguya-san for me."
Shinomiya Un's lips twitched again. Involuntarily, he narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he nodded with a smile: "Okay."
"Thank you."
Luo Chen expressed his gratitude, then changed the subject and chatted with Shojiba and Ikushi Asuka who were standing next to him.
As for why he didn't talk to Ikushi and the others...
These guys clearly can't hold their liquor, but they started drinking heavily as soon as they sat down at the table, and now they're starting to talk nonsense.
In particular, Shengshi Chong and Gui Tou Yao were shouting that they wanted to fight three hundred rounds.
Shi Gong Yunying, who had been left out by Luo Chen, didn't show much expression on his face. He just sat at the table, watching everything with a calm gaze.
Until Hayasaka Nao appeared and whispered a few words in his ear, Shinomiya Un'taka nodded slightly and went to say goodbye to the drunken Ikuishi Mitsuru and the others.
Before leaving, he naturally said goodbye to Luo Chen again and made his final exit.
Luo Chen stroked his chin, watching Shinomiya Un'taka's figure disappear, then turned to Ikushi Asuka and asked, "Miss Asuka, are Senior Ikushi and this person very familiar?"
"Ah... Ah? Eh~???!" Asuka Ikishi was in a state of confusion and almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Puch!"
Shojiba laughed heartily, helped up Asuka, and turned to Luo Chen to complain, "Young Master, no matter what, it's too offensive of you to call Asuka by her name directly. It will cause Asuka a lot of trouble."
"Sorry." Luo Chen looked embarrassed.
I hadn't been chatting with Asuka for a while, and "Miss Asuka" was a name I suddenly came up with while talking.
He really hadn't thought it through! He forgot to consider the other person's personality.
"No! It's okay! It's my fault! I'm sorry!! I'll go get you some juice and drinks!"
The live stone bird shook its head in a panic and ran away.
Luo Chen: "..."
No, if you run away, who am I supposed to ask?
“That’s just how Fei Niao is, young master. Please don’t worry about her. She’ll be back soon,” Shao Ziba said to Luo Chen, puffing out his cheeks.
"I guess I've gotten used to it," Luo Chen sighed.
"Oh, by the way, regarding that question about the young master, I actually know a little about it. Would you like me to share my thoughts first? Of course, I don't know if they're correct. Young master, you can..."
"You know that too?" Luo Chen was surprised.
"Yeah! Even if Uncle Ikushi doesn't want to take me as his apprentice, I've always shamelessly lingered at Ikushi Bathhouse since I was little!"
Shoji nodded vigorously, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "However, the relationship between the third son of the Shinomiya family and Uncle Ikuishi... was actually built up by another important figure."
Chapter 388 Kaguya the Girl Transforms in a Second
"Another important figure?"
Luo Chen adopted a posture of being all ears.
Now that his relationship with Kaguya Shinomiya was almost complete, he naturally became much more attentive to matters concerning the Shinomiya family.
Although Shinomiya Un'taka was only the third son of the Shinomiya family, he was the one who was ostracized.
However, having developed in Kyoto for so long, it should not be underestimated.
"Let me think... I think it was... I think it was someone? I was quite young then, it was five or six years ago."
"It seems like they're from the Shinomiya family too?"
The spoon was pinching its chin, describing it to itself.
"Also from the Shinomiya family?"... A thought flashed through Luo Chen's mind, and he asked in surprise, "It's not Keita Shijo, is it? An old man who's even older than your Uncle Ikushi?"
"Oh right! It's him!"
"That old man from the Shinomiya family seems to have a particularly good relationship with Uncle Ikuishi; they are very, very good friends!"
Shokuba immediately nodded with shining eyes, indicating that he was right.
Luo Chen's lips twitched slightly, and he gently pressed his brow, looking somewhat distressed.
This is getting complicated.
This makes things complicated.
Before this, he had always thought that the internal strife within the Shinomiya family was a split within the main family and the division of the branch families into different factions.
Of course, the Shijo family is the strongest among the branch families. Over the years, through its development overseas, its strength has become extremely formidable, and it is almost able to compete with the real Shinomiya family.
However, what no one expected was that Shinomiya Un'taka, as the third son of the Shinomiya family and a member of the main branch, was also involved with the Shijo family.
"What's wrong? You seem to care a lot about that young master of the Shinomiya family?" Shaoziba didn't understand why Luo Chen was so concerned.
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just curious, after all, they're from the Shinomiya family." Luo Chen smiled and made up a lie on the spot.
"Pfft! A member of the Shinomiya family?" Shoko said with a grin. "His status is quite impressive, but he's just a third son. He won't have any right to inherit the family business. So, in the end, his status might not even be as high as yours, young master."
She was referring to the future, meaning after Luo Chen reaches the ninth dan.
Now words.
Professional 8th Dan.
Although he has already become the leader of the four new kings of the younger generation, he is still somewhat lacking compared to a 9-dan A.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me," Luo Chen said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, you might not know this, but Wan Zhi always brags about how great your boyfriend is. Tell me, what's Wan Zhi like in your eyes? I'm so curious!" Shao Zi Ba started gossiping.
Luo Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Of course she's a very good girl."
"Not enough! I want to hear more!" Shovel Ba pressed.
Luo Chen was speechless and asked, "You don't mean you want to hear about the little details of my relationship and life with Wan Zhi, do you?"
Shaoziba's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly: "Exactly!"
Luo Chen: "..."
