Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 112 Bird Akino＝"East Field Sound"

Obsessed with black, not close to the eye?

This is giving Higashihiro a first-mover advantage.

"Let's go first," Higashino said, "Although I am not Odagiri's opponent, I still want to compete seriously and fairly."

Xiao Heye glanced at Odagiri, saw him nodding secretly, and agreed.

After the secretary left, Higashino glanced at the embarrassed Odagiri, and said with a smile: "Odagiri-kun, I will seriously play this game, and I hope you can do the same."

Odagiri hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"As a cartoonist, I don't have much time to play chess." Higashino raised his head, glanced at the chess academy, and said with emotion: "This may be the most important game in my life. From now on, my road of Go will be Please leave it to you."

He stood up and walked towards the auditorium of the Chess Academy.

Odagiri's pupils trembled, and with a very familiar sentence, he thought of someone.

"Could it be!" He looked at Higashihiro's back and couldn't believe it, "Teacher Akino is... How is this possible?"

……

Under the shooting of nhk, in the Goin auditorium, Rimitsu Matsuo handed the medal to Higashi Higashino with both hands, in recognition of his contribution to Go.

There is also a bonus of 1000 million yen.

Higashino always felt that his teeth were gleaming under the flashlight.

This is 1000 million yen.

Unexpectedly, despite the deficit in financial revenue, the Chess Institute can be so generous, much better than Jump.

He thought it was the climax, but Rimitsu Matsuo put the title of honorary player last.

"Only 3-4 professional chess players are born in Tokyo every year," Rimitsu Matsuo said solemnly, "so, this is honorable and sacred. I hope you can cherish the title of honorary chess player."

Higashino Hibiki nodded, "I also often play Go, so I naturally understand its importance. I am terrified and moved to become an honorary Go player."

If it wasn't for the time-consuming Go professional exam, and the fact that becoming a professional Go player requires regular participation in competitions, Higashino would have wanted to play in person.

……

"The teacher is amazing!"

In Higashino Hibiki's dormitory, watching the live broadcast, Oda said loudly.

Yoshii Sanjiu nodded, "It's like a star, shining brightly."

Akemi Akimiya blushed, "I didn't expect him to be quite photogenic."

There is a charm exuded by successful people.

……

At the same time, many people watched the live broadcast on TV.

Akira Toriyama was eating his lunch, looking sideways.

It is difficult to connect the people on TV with Higashi Higashino, who was once his assistant.

"It really did, Higashino-kun, it completely exceeded my expectations."

……

jump editorial department.

Sasaki watched the live broadcast.

"It's getting stronger and stronger, Akino-kun."

His face was expressionless, but his heart was very restless.

At this moment, the light of this young man is getting stronger and stronger.

It probably won't be long before he turns into a Super Saiyan.

……

Higashino family.

Higashino Ichiro got off work early and stayed in front of the TV.

He finally saw Higashino Hibiki on TV.

His son was brilliant, his eyes were red, "As expected of a child of the Higashino family."

Higashino touched the back of his hand, "Your mission is complete."

"That's right." Higashino Ichiro sighed, "Although it's another path, Hibiki is already successful and famous. He's better than me."

"In my heart..." Higashino Shio said.

Higashino Ichiro looked forward to it.

"Sure enough, I think my son is stronger." She then said with a smile.

Higashino Ichiro staggered and was almost knocked down.

I thought it would comfort me.

"However," she looked at Ichiro Higashino, "Ichiro who can cultivate excellent Hibiki is also very good."

"...Hmm." Higashino Ichiro lowered his head and remained silent.

……

Mei Higashino watched TV.

My brother is also great.

"very handsome."

The seniors on the side covered their mouths and said in surprise.

Mei Higashino could not help but tilt her mouth.

"It's my brother."

"It would be nice to be my boyfriend."

"Yeah, you can become a famous seiyuu."

"Idiot, what are you still doing as a voice actor, wouldn't it be better to just pamper and be a full-time wife?"

They laughed and talked and laughed non-stop.

Mei Dongye curled her mouth and muttered softly, "I wouldn't choose you."

……

After passing the Go professional exam, a "New Beginning League" will be arranged to play a game with titled Jiudan players.

Higashino Higashi is only an honorary chess player after all, and his "New Beginning League" in the Yuxuan chess room arranged for him to play against Odagiri.

Odagiri has just finished the "New First Stage League" here, and his opponent is Masao Kato, the ninth dan of Go.

Kato Kudan spoke highly of Odagiri.

Playing chess is very courageous, not superstitious about [-]-dan, and actively attacking.

And the chess moves are also very interesting, and he is a very likely chess player.

Coming to the Youxuan Chess Room, although the area is small, it is very solemnly arranged.

It's easy to be in awe of Go.

Higashino Hibiki's heart was full of fighting spirit.

Soon, Higashino and Odagiri played chess.

"Please advise."

"Please advise."

Looking at Higashino Higashino with a solemn expression, Odagiri was full of doubts and wanted to ask.

But playing chess, he held back.

With the deepening of the layout, Odagiri's heart became more and more shocked.

"This style..." The hand holding the chess pieces trembled slightly, and his heart was full of turmoil, "It's the same as "Mr. Higashino". "

He raised his eyes to see Higashino Higashino whose lower eyelids were lowered, and thought to himself: "Tori Akino teacher is Higashino Hibiki teacher? "

His mood became more and more restless.

……

The person watching in the chess academy, Kato Jiudan was also there, and he said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, an author, his chess ability is already comparable to that of a professional chess player."

"Don't senior Kato know?" Shinoda said, "Tori Akino-kun once beat Yamazaki Akira second dan."

"There is such a thing, I don't pay much attention to public opinion. But this girl Yamazaki is really shameful, she lost to an amateur chess player," Masao Kato shook his head while holding the folding fan.

But as the chess game progressed, he let out a "huh".

"It's actually going back and forth in the middle game. There are no loopholes. It's a pity that such a powerful talent has gone to draw manga."

Shinoda Sidan said: "Tori Akino-kun is also very talented in drawing manga..."

When he said this, he stopped suddenly.

Looking at the ongoing chess game, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"What is this hand?"

……

Odagiri's heart became more and more chaotic, and his mind was full of things about Akino Tori and Higashino.

Habitually played a hand of chess, he suddenly stopped.

"I..." He was sweating coldly and his face was pale.

Higashino took a closer look in surprise, he scratched his head and looked around.

I found no one to stop, so I continued.

The TV screen cut to the explanation, and the two middle-aged professional chess players originally praised Odagiri for his steady chess moves despite his young age.

Seeing this hand, he was completely stunned.

"Eh? Why are you here?"

"Did you accidentally make a mistake?"

They said they couldn't understand.

……

"Is this a mistake?" Shinoda Sidan couldn't believe it.

Masao Kato patted the folding fan, and said angrily: "What is Odagiri thinking, to play a game that even a novice would not be able to play! He gave up his upper left corner."

He looked at the president and Xiao Heye, the president was taken aback, and then looked at Xiao Heye.

They hesitated, "You let Odagiri lose on purpose?"

"Absolutely not!" Xiaoheye shook his head violently, not wanting to take the blame, "Tori Akino-sensei said that we want a fair fight. This must be Odagiri-kun's mistake."

"Facing one's own idol, it's normal for children to be unstable."

Shinoda nodded, "This kid really likes "Soul of Chess". He also started learning to play Go because of this work."

Masao Kato gave a "tsk", and immediately wanted to take back his previous evaluation of Odagiri.

"Sure enough, it's full of surprises," he shook his head. "It's a pity, I think this game of chess is quite interesting."

……

That's right, Odagiri made a mistake, he played an absolutely rotten move.

Clenching his fists, nails digging into his flesh, he forced himself to calm down.

"The most important thing now is to play chess. Is Mr. Akino Tori really Hibiki Higashino? You can ask after the game! Concentrate! Concentrate!"

He stared fixedly at the chessboard, concentrating all his energy on playing chess.

Be prepared to regain the disadvantage little by little.

It's a pity that Higashino Hibiki is not an ordinary person. Although there is a difference in chess strength between the two of them, the gap is not that big.

Higashino would definitely not let him make up for such an obvious mistake.

After playing more than twenty moves, Odagiri lowered his head in frustration, "I lost."

The middle game conceded defeat.

To everyone's surprise, Higashino won again.

The Creator won his hero.

The two packed up the chessboard and walked out of the Youxuan chess room.

Interviewed after the game.

The nhk host asked Odagiri, "Did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

Odagiri said regretfully: "If I'm not careful, my mood is still too bad."

The host asked Higashino Hibiki again, and Higashino Hibiki said that he didn't expect this scene to happen either.

There are some guesses in my heart.

Although unintentional, but a little guilty.

……

After the live broadcast is over.

privately.

Odagiri and Higashino Hibiki.

"I'm sorry!" Odagiri bowed 90°, "It's all because of my problem that the accident happened in this round!"

Higashino shook his head, "It's all because I didn't tell you directly."

He does have regrets in his heart and hopes to have a wonderful showdown.

This is probably the Higashino Higashi, the first and last time to play chess in the Youxuan chess room.

Very memorable.

"So," Odagiri raised his head, his eyes widened, "Tori Akino-sensei is..."

"Well," Higashino Hibiki nodded, "My name is Higashino Hibiki. "

He smiled and said, "You have worked very hard, Odagiri. I am very pleased that I have finally become a professional chess player."

It seems to have returned to the afternoon of [-], when Higashino instructed Odagiri to play chess.

The boy suddenly burst into tears, he wiped the tears with his arm, and mumbled in his mouth: "Mmm!"
