Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 114 "Zuo Wei... I... Can I continue playing chess?"

"I'll let you know about the completion," Sasaki said.

The current results of "Soul of Chess" are ranked in the middle and upper reaches, and it should not have been completed simply.

But who let it be troubled now.

According to Sasaki, Nobuhiko Horie couldn't stay any longer, and he didn't want to take care of these messes anymore.

Taking advantage of this power vacuum, finish "Soul of Chess" before the arrival of the next editor-in-chief.

It was just right.

The deputy editor-in-chief of jump is like this.

To his surprise, Higashino said to him: "Please don't say anything, I'm just explaining to Mr. Sasaki."

"Huh? Why is that?" Sasaki was surprised, "If the new editor has grown up, it won't be so easy to finish it."

"I just want the new editor-in-chief to come to me." Higashino said with a smile.

The sixth editor of jump, if nothing else, is Kazuhiko Torishima, a Bole who values ​​Hibiki Higashino very much.

"It seems that you have your own ideas." Sasaki pushed his glasses, "Although you are very curious, I will not ask."

Higashino nodded, "Well, it would be great if Mr. Sasaki was the new editor-in-chief."

"I'm still far away," Sasaki asked unmoved, "Do you have any ideas for the next manga?"

"It's still a sports event, but it can't be said yet." Higashino replied.

He wants a privilege.

……

Next Mon.

Kazuhiko Torishima looked at Jump.

Ever since the latest episode of Yoshihiro Togashi's "Level E" was serialized, he has been preparing for the future.

He doesn't have many cards in hand now, Gui Zhenghe is used to writing short stories, and "SHADOW LADY" is still being serialized.

Akira Toriyama will never write a long series again.

And his deputy editor-in-chief Takahashi Toshichang, I am afraid that he will not be able to influence Togashi Yoshihiro.

As for Tori Akino Mirai's "Soul of Chess", it is a top-notch manga, but definitely not a pillar manga.

After thinking about it carefully, he clenched his hair tightly in distress.

Kazuhiko Torishima paused for a while, then called Takahashi Toshichang and asked him if there were any potential authors there.

Takahashi Toshichang thought for a while, then shook his head under Torishima Kazuhiko's expectant gaze.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered a cartoonist with poor grades who was in charge of a few years ago. After working hard for about ten years, he finally made a jump serialization under his own guidance.

But just after the novice protection period, he was immediately cut in half.

Maybe it's because of Takahashi's surname, or maybe it's because he saw the look in his eyes that didn't want to give up.

Torishima Kazuhiko showed a bitter face, "Then we can only dig hard."

There must be a talented author, and this will test his ability as a bole.

"How is Akino-kun?" Takahashi Toshichang asked, "Is his manga okay?"

Maybe start a new serial.

"Recently, the grades have increased," Kazuhiko Torishima took a form, "It turned out to be No.4 again."

"Then it can't be over." Takahashi Toshichang sighed.

He also admired Bird Akino Mirai very much.

This cartoonist, no matter which ability, is above the baseline.

Especially the creativity of the story always makes his eyes shine.

His drawing skills are also very strong. Judging from the degree of showing off his skills in "The Garden of Words", he is better than ordinary cartoonists.

If it is his new work, maybe it can create miracles.

"Yes," Torishima Kazuhiko nodded.

Go is a sport that ordinary people cannot understand, and the level of fierce confrontation between sitting and playing chess is naturally not as good as other sports.

If Bird Akino draws the "baseball" type, maybe he can become the next Adachi.

This is the author who once brought crisis to jump.

pity……

He lowered his head, thinking of the latest episode of "Soul of Chess".

……

In the game with Yijiao, Xiaoguang felt the charm of Go again.

There is not much difference in strength between the two sides, and this game of chess is getting more and more interesting amidst the anxiety.

Xiaoguang's traps and temptations are always noticed by Yijiao.

When the painting style became fierce and fast-paced, Xiaoguang made a move.

This move doesn't look like he made it, but...

Xiao Guang saw Zuo Wei again, he appeared from behind, holding a folding fan, pointing to the chessboard.

"This is?"

Xiao Guang turned around in shock, although there was nothing behind him, he was stunned.

After a long time, looking at his right hand playing chess, Xiaoguang suddenly realized.

……

After Yijiao thought hard about playing a game of chess, he found that the opponent hadn't made a move for a long time.

He looked up and found that Hikari Shinto was in tears.

The opponent stared at the chessboard, his lips trembled, and tears ran across his cheeks. I really feel sorry for him.

Xiaoguang finally understood that his way of playing was Zuo Wei's way of playing.

Xiaoguang thought of Zuowei's moves again and again in the past. If he came to play this game of chess, he must have the same thinking as himself.

Tears fell on the chessboard, and Xiao Guang said tremblingly, "I found... Zuo Wei, who I couldn't find anywhere... is here."

On the chessboard, in the game between him and others!

Zuowei hides here.

The only way to meet again is to play chess!
"Zuowei... I... can I continue playing chess?"

Wipe away tears, but these tears can't always be wiped away.

……

"This kind of thinking is really powerful." Torishima Kazuhiko praised.

"The protagonist can play chess again. On the basis of not arousing readers' dislike, it makes readers like Shinto Hikaru even more. Bird Akino, he is really good."

"Even I wanted to cry after reading this."

The old fox Bird Island Kazuhiko said so.

He was joking, but there were indeed many tears.

Shancun guarded the way, crying like a child.

Shinto Hikari finally found Sato, and although it was different from what he had imagined, he was indeed very moved.

Zuowei still exists in Shinto Hikaru's chess game, as long as Shinto Hikaru does not give up playing chess, the imprint of Zuowei's existence will not disappear.

This is what inheritance means.

For thousands of years, history has been repeated like this. In countless inheritances, Go has developed step by step.

The thickness of the manga has increased.

This kind of romantic feeling made Yamamura Shumichi, a writer of mystery novels, burst into tears.

He picked up the pen, swayed the pen and ink, and drew up a manuscript.

Thousands of words swiped out, expressing my feelings wantonly.

This emotion must be passed on to others.

……

On Monday, Higashino held the "Yomiuri Shimbun", and he saw a post-reading testimonial about "Soul of Chess", the author was Yamamura Morido.

The name is, "The Beauty of Go Inherited for Thousands of Years".

He started from the "Tezuka Award" banquet, described it there, and saw a short story.

It's called "The Soul of Chess".

Torajiro approaches a professional shogi player and discovers a soul.

He is Sakai Fujiwara, a shogi player in the Heian period.

After being framed, Zuo Wei finally committed suicide in despair because he had no skills to earn a living.

Toranojiro discovered that this soul has a powerful chess skill that he cannot understand.

No matter how much you play chess, you can't reach this level.

The gods let him meet him, so the meaning of his existence is to let this soul continue to play chess.

Toranojiro became a person who existed for Sakai Fujiwara.

After that, Yamamura changed his pen and talked about Hikari Shindo.

Compared with Toranojiro, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so he chooses to play chess by himself.

Such a decision made Zuo Wei understand his own meaning.

That is inheritance.

The person who should pursue the "Hand of God" is not myself, but the current person.

Xiaoguang inherited the method of Fujiwara Sakai, and started the first step towards "God's Hand".

So Fujiwara Sawei disappeared.

But like the countless sages of Go, Zuo Wei can be said to have not disappeared.

As long as there are people playing Go, he still exists.

It exists in the chess record, exists on the chessboard, exists purely in the player's thought, and exists above time.

At this time, the comics transcend winning and losing, and are magnified in the entire history of Go.

With romance and epic.

Morimichi Yamamura is very grateful to Mirai Akino for being able to read such a manga.

Morimichi Yamamura, November 1995, 11, created in "Yamura Arai Studio".

Higashino held the newspaper, but he didn't expect Shancun to sort out "Soul of Chess".

It coincides with my own idea of ​​painting "The Soul of Chess".

I don't know what Mr. Hotta thought in the original work, but Higashino himself really understood and drew it in this way.

"The story of "Soul of Chess" is complete, except for the game of chess between Shinto Hikaru and Taya Ryo."

He changed into his uniform and went to school.

……

"Continue playing chess..." Odagiri touched the newspaper, "Is this what Teacher Hibiki Higashino thinks? "

"Thinking about it carefully, my enlightenment is the teacher "Higashi Hibiki", and in my chess game, I do have his moves. "

"Teacher can't continue playing Go, so let me be active in the chess world, use the teacher's way of playing, let "Higashi Hibiki" exist among professional chess players. "

　Thank you Master Weili for your 200 points reward.
