Chapter 100
Higashino Ichiro's taxi stopped under the shade of a tree next to the Go professional exam and began to rest.

With a bento in hand, it will be almost finished within a while.

At this time, a high school student walked out of the examination room, came to Ichiro Higashino's taxi, and opened the back door.

"Sorry, wait for me a little longer." Higashino Ichiro muttered.

The high school student didn't answer him, but stood quietly with his head down.

"Huh?" Higashino Ichiro quickly finished his bento, raised his head in surprise, and looked at the high school student.

He still stood still, the ground around his feet was wet with tears, and he was very sad.

Higashino Ichiro sighed, it seemed that he was another loser.

"Come again next year and continue to work hard. There is still a chance." He couldn't help but encourage.

His temper grew milder and milder.

"I," the high school student raised his head, with tears on his cheeks, he choked up: "I... already."

Squatted on the ground and cried.

, you have to leave the chess academy and face society and reality.

It is no longer close to the world of professional chess players.

"For... so many years," he said, sobbing aggrievedly, "I have devoted all my energy to playing Go, and my studies have been wasted, and I don't know how to communicate with my peers... I..."

Tears were shed again.

Higashino Ichiro wanted to reprimand him, but he swallowed his words and held back.

He has been watching his son Higashihiro's manga, and understands the difficulty of being a college student, so he handed the tissue in silence and waited for him to recover.

"Sorry..." The high school student wiped away his tears, and he got into the back seat of the car, "Please go to the nearby subway entrance."

"Okay," Higashino Ichiro looked at the rearview mirror and started the car, "There are no obstacles in life that you can't get over. In two years, if you think back to today, you will understand that there is actually no such great pain."

"When I was young, when I was only about 10 years old, the state began to organize students to go to the countryside to farm the land together."

"At that time, you didn't have enough to eat, you didn't have enough clothes, and you were working every day. Compared to that, you are already much happier."

The high school student didn't speak. He felt that the other party didn't understand him at all, or that there was a gap between the two parties.

Higashino Ichiro could only change his mind. He asked, "Have you read "Soul of Chess"? Higashi... Akino Mirai's manga."

The high school student managed to pull himself together, "Of course I've seen it. Most of us are fans of "Soul of Chess."

"That's good," said Higashino Ichiro, "Tori Akino used to be just like you."

"How could it be?" The high school student was surprised, "He is a genius manga artist, and even defeated the professional chess player Yamazaki Akira Nidan."

"No matter how talented you are, there will be times when you are at a low point." The corners of Higashino Ichiro's eyes twitched, thinking of the rebellious son Moxigan Higashino Higashino.

"At that time, his whole body was depraved. He wore a royal robe of "heaven and earth, I am the only one" and rode a motorcycle to hang out with bad boys.In the end, he woke up and grew up to be a manga artist, Akino Tori Mirai. "

"There is still such a thing." The high school student's heart knot slowly loosened, ""I am the only one in the sky and on the earth", it turns out that Mr. Akino Tori was so... childish. "

He thought for a long time, and finally came up with the word childish.

"Well, so temporary success or failure doesn't determine anything," Higashino Ichiro looked at the rearview mirror, changed lanes, and then comforted: "As long as you have the heart to not give up, you will definitely be more successful than your decadent future. "

At the nearest subway entrance, Higashino Ichiro stopped the car.

"Here we come, guest."

"Thank you, Uncle, along the way, I was also asking my own heart. I really can't give up Go. I will continue to work hard next year." The high school student in the back row paid, his twisted eyebrows stretched out, and the whole person It's much easier.

"That's good, that's good." Higashino Ichiro was very pleased.

The high school student asked again: "By the way, uncle, how do you know that Mr. Akino Bird has so many things going on in the future?"

Hearing the word teacher, Higashino Ichiro felt secretly refreshed.

Only a respectable profession can be called a teacher.

Physician, lawyer and author.

I didn't expect that one day, or so early, the word "teacher" would be added after my son's name.

Facing the doubts of this high school student, Higashino Ichiro replied:
"It's because Bird Akino is my son. Of course I know him very well."

As soon as Higashino Ichiro stepped on the accelerator, he left the high school student with an unfathomable back view.

"Huh?" The high school student looked up in disbelief, "Really?"

"Tori Akino's future father?"

He stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, "It hurts!"

"I'm not dreaming, I don't know if it is, that uncle is dreaming."

……

Higashino Ichiro secretly rejoiced after leaving behind a figure with deep merit and fame. In the locker of the co-pilot, he took out the news about Higashino Hibiki.

"This one is from "The Garden of Words and Leaves". It's very beautiful when you listen to it."

"This is "Soul of Go". According to reports, because of "Soul of Go", the Go population in Japan has increased by more than 100 million people. To have such a large social influence is worthy of being my son."

As long as there are reports about Higashino, he cuts them all, and occasionally takes them out to have a look, only two or three times a day.

When he was driving a taxi, he could often hear students discussing "Soul of Chess".

Hearing words of praise for Higashino, he would nod accordingly.

I wanted to reveal my identity several times, but I held back in the end.

This time I finally let out a bit.

"Wait." Thinking of the high school student just now, he felt a little wrong, "Now at the beginning of July, there are only ten professional exams, so he has no chance?"

He turned around and there was nothing behind him.

"Losing more games than winning..."

"I shouldn't have persuaded him..."

"Continue to work hard on Go...forget it, you don't have this talent, do you know?"

At this time, I can only talk to myself with a guilty conscience.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Higashino Ichiro went home.

They are so self-willed after they have money, and they are not open during the peak period.

But it’s not like this usually. When he heard that his son was back, he said in his mouth, and he came back when he came back. Tell me what to do?
Still get off work early.

"Brother! Give it to me."

In the living room, he saw Mei and Higashino talking.

Higashino held up a plastic figurine, and Mei stood on tiptoe, reaching out to grab it.

But because he was not tall enough, he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, Higashi Higashi played him very badly.

Higashino Ichiro smiled when he saw this scene.Then he restrained himself and said with a straight face: "Xiang, what are you teasing your sister for? If she wants it, give it to her."

"It's not at all reassuring to have a whole day of tossing."

　There are 3000 words at night.
