Kenta Kujikawa suddenly fell silent, his slightly pale eyebrows furrowing. After a long while, he finally said, "Could it be that the rumors are wrong? Is Luo Chen's talent beyond mere interpretation and extension?"

“I never said that,” Ikushi Mitsuki said with a faint smile.

"So you mean this kid has two talents? That would be too strange," Kenta Kujikawa chuckled.

Ikushi Mitsuaki's smile faded, and he slowly said, "Why not?"

"What?" Kenta Kujigawa's expression changed almost imperceptibly.

"Kujikawa-senpai, let's get back to the main topic. The early game between the two of them is getting quite intense right now," Ikushi Mitsuaki said, changing the subject.

Upon hearing this, Kenta Kujigawa looked back at the chessboard. As he placed his first move, his profound skill in Go made him frown slightly: "Are these two trying to seize the overall advantage? What arrogant juniors!"

……

On the perimeter, in the spectator seats.

Today's knockout stage has countless spectator seats set up.

In addition to the lobby on the first floor, there are also VIP viewing rooms on the second floor. Furthermore, there are many other places to watch the games outside the Chess Club.

According to incomplete statistics, today's knockout stage ticket sales have reached over 10, setting a new record since the start of the Kyoto Meijin Tournament, practically filling the entire Kiei Club.

Moreover, this doesn't even include the number of viewers watching the game online.

Online, the number of viewers on the official live streaming platform of the Shogi League alone has exceeded one million, not including other platforms in various categories.

At this moment, everyone heard the comments and discussions between the two legendary chess players in the commentary booth, and for a moment, they couldn't help but get excited.

"What two talents? Really?"

"Luo Chen, 8th Dan? That's incredible! It's actually possible to have two?"

"Lord Ikuishi Mitsuru seems to think highly of this young master of Adachi Ward."

"But do such abnormal people really exist in this world?"

"some."

"That's right!"

"President..."

"If it's the president, then it's fine."

"After all, no one can force the chairman to go all out."

"The black hole-like interpretation and extension methods alone are already incredibly frustrating. There are also differences between the Nine A's! As for the Moonlight President, that's an ultimate, untouchable realm!!"

"However, back to the present, what did Senior Kujikawa mean by 'seizing the big picture'? I don't quite understand."

"This is a type of professional term in shogi, but in most cases it only applies to those with extremely high levels of judgment!"

"By constantly changing the direction of the pieces, one can predict the board position thousands of moves ahead and seize the initiative!"

"The Myriad Forms of Heavenly Net!! The true terror lies in this: seeing the big picture from the small details, and being able to predict and easily change the entire situation with just one move! This is Lord Shinobukuro."

"So, in the end, isn't it a bit unwise for Luo Chen, the eighth-dan, to compete with Lord Shinonome in this kind of matter?"

"I...I don't know..."

"It's so mysterious!"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Haha, now that you guys mentioned it, I'm suddenly really looking forward to it!"

"..."

The noise outside the venue grew louder and louder.

Regardless of gender, the discussions are now incredibly heated, even in the early stages of the game, compared to the previous celebrity tournament matches!

This naturally included several outstandingly beautiful girls.

For example, Nakano Satsuki brought Nakano Miku, Nakano Ichika, and Nakano Yotsuba back to this place, excitedly shouting and cheering for Luo Chen.

At the same time, in another direction, in an inconspicuous corner, Nino Nakano stood alone with her arms crossed, staring coldly at the holographic projection directly in front of her.

All eyes were fixed on Luo Chen, and they didn't blink for a long time. Their little fists were clenched tightly without them even realizing it!

On the second floor, in a private room, Yukino Yukinoshita held a black VIP invitation in her hand, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

This VIP black card invitation was certainly not something she obtained herself.

Let alone her, even if the entire Yukinoshita family were to be sacrificed, they might not be able to obtain something like this.

That's why she has this document in her hand now, and why she herself is sitting in the second-floor VIP room, a place that many high-ranking officials and nobles can only dream of.

Because!

Just this morning.

Someone found her, said nothing, shoved the invitation into her hand, and ran away.

Five minutes later, she received a message.

Sender: Kaguya Shinomiya!

The gist of it is that she had to go back early because of something, so the invitation she had prepared was no longer needed. But out of consideration for her as a classmate, she gave it to her!

"Did you give it to me?..."

Yukino Yukinoshita occasionally glanced at the game between Luo Chen and Shinobu Taishi on the large screen in front of her, and sometimes she pondered the intentions behind Kaguya Shinomiya's actions.

After doing this for about ten minutes, we roughly determined the outcome.

Kaguya Shinomiya...is this a provocation and a declaration of war against her?! Thousand!

Chapter 396 The Unsolvable Prelude to the 'Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net'?

"Kane! Kaon! Look! It's that one!"

"That guy really is the fellow villager I met yesterday! I never expected him to be so good at this kind of competition! Amazing!"

"Coco~!"

Behind them, a girl with orange hair, panting, reached out her hand and called out, "Wait for me, wait for me!"

"A shogi match?"

"If I remember correctly, today's event is the knockout round of the Kyoto Celebrity Tournament, right? The opponents on both sides should be very famous figures..."

Beside Shibuya Kanon was a girl with long white hair, bangs, and two distinctive buns on her head.

With an exceptionally outstanding figure, it's immediately obvious that this girl is someone who regularly exercises to improve her physique, as her flexibility is remarkable from the inside out!

"Huh? A shogi tournament? The Kyoto Meijin Tournament, isn't that the big event that gives us a week's rest? So it's being held here?" Shibuya Kanon stopped and looked up, one hand on her hip.

"Yes, this is it. I know a little about it." The white-haired girl, Lan Qiansha, pointed to the figure on the left side of the big screen in front of the sea of ​​people. "In this match, the one on the left is a very famous 9-dan A-rank Go player. He's famous throughout Japan and has an extremely high reputation!"

Shibuya Kanon blinked twice, suddenly feeling a bit thirsty: "Ninth Dan A? That's something you only see in textbooks and on TV..."

“That’s right.” Arashi Chisato said with a smile, “Lord Shinobu Daishi, a senior figure in the shogi world who has been famous for at least ten years!”

"Then, who is that young guy on the other side? He's so young, how come he can compete against such a highly respected senior?" Shibuya Kanon couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lan Qiansha pinched her chin and laughed, "Don't let that guy's youth fool you, his resume is actually even more impressive!"

"Huh?" Shibuya Kanon blinked.

Lan Qiansha said, "In just three months, he went straight from not being a professional rank to his current eighth dan, and in the Meijin tournament a few days ago, he even achieved outstanding results such as 24 kills against the top shogi player in Kansai, easily defeating Fujii, and crushing Ayumu Kannabe... Hmm, this guy is called Luo Chen, from Adachi Ward, and is the young master of the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute. His current titles are, 'The Devilish Young Master of the Go World,' and 'The Forbidden Blood Devil!'"

Shibuya Kanon stared wide-eyed at Arashi Chisato.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden? Is there anything else you want to ask?" Lan Qiansha asked with a strange expression.

"No, no, it's just that I didn't expect you to know so much about the shogi world, Chihiro." Shibuya Kanon scratched her hair.

"Ah, haha, not really. I only started paying attention to shogi competitions recently because of the Kyoto Meijin Tournament, and then I suddenly became a fan of that amazing young master."

Lan Qiansha chuckled sheepishly, then declared confidently, "Such a legendary experience, I want to emulate it too!"

"And then become famous in the dance world?" Shibuya Kanon teased.

"Xiangyin~!!...Oh right!" After Lan Qiansha said coquettishly, she suddenly remembered something very important, her beautiful eyes widening abruptly as she asked, "Xiangyin, didn't Coco just say that she knows some important figure in the game?"

"...I think so." Shibuya Kanon nodded, not entirely sure either.

"Huh??!"

Lan Qiansha immediately got excited, clenched her little fists, stomped her foot, and said, "If that's really the case, that's amazing! I'm going to ask Coco for her autograph!!"

After saying that, Lan Qiansha excitedly ran out, calling out, "Coco! Wait for me, I'm coming right away!"

"Eh~?!"

Shibuya Kanon was completely bewildered. After a long while, she realized that she seemed to have been abandoned by her two best friends, Tang Keke and Lan Qiansha.

"Ah~!!!"

Shibuya Kanon stomped her feet twice in annoyance, then, after thinking for a moment, chased after her, shouting loudly, "Coco! Chihiro! Wait for me!!"
