Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 430 The Road to Champions
  Fujiwara followed the three sisters from the next life to a high-end French restaurant in the name of a reception banquet.

Laisheng Lei had ordered the dishes before he came, so he served them directly after they came over.

"I was really shocked. It felt like we hadn't seen each other for a long time."

"It's been a while since we've seen each other," Laishengtong agreed.

In fact, I haven't seen each other for dozens of days, but in the eyes of others, it's only a few days.

"Really?" Laisheng Lei asked with some confusion. In fact, it has only been about a week and a half since Fujihara picked him up at the airport.

Laisheng Lei did not intend to ask for the details of these words, but looked at his sister Xiaotong strangely, fearing that she would say something strange about the date.

Fortunately, Hitomi has become accustomed to this level of questioning. She doesn't want to mention a word about the fact that the day before yesterday was winter but today jumped to summer, and she doesn't want to argue with anyone.

After sitting down, everyone began to enjoy the delicious meal. The dishes were exquisite and delicious, and each delicious dish aroused everyone's sigh of satisfaction.

"How does it feel to win the championship? It must be very satisfying, right?" Laishengtong asked.

In the next life, Tong half-raised his knife and fork to cut a piece of steak. For a moment, he couldn't think of how to answer Xiaotong's question.

"It would not be difficult to say it was difficult, but the period before the competition was probably the most tortured period of my life. The news and people around me were almost urging me to express my position as soon as possible."

"Really? In fact, I also feel something is wrong. Every time I see rumors about Fujiwara's imminent retirement being broadcast on major TV stations, I feel that there is a group of people who want to see Fujiwara-kun come back." He said that the next life stopped in tears. After a pause, not sure whether he would change or not, he continued to ask.

She was curious about the reason why Fujiwara did not participate in the competition before, but she was also afraid of touching some bad memories of him.

Ai in the next life doesn't care much about this. She is very curious about why Fujiwara, who originally opposed the news, suddenly participated.

"Actually, I'm a little curious, why did Fujiwara suddenly choose to participate?"

After Ai finished speaking, Xiaotong glanced at Fujiwara with some worry, and then motioned to Ai to stop talking.

Fujiwara smiled, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said seriously, "Actually, during that time I have been hesitating whether to respond to the provocation of those people. You most likely already know that I lost all my honors three years ago. Bar."

The three people who were really listening did not nod, but they all looked at Fujiwara with curious eyes, so they also gave him a hint to continue talking.

"Sometimes I feel that I am so strange. Occasionally I forget some things inexplicably, some very important things. Three years ago, I suddenly forgot some memories about my past. I forgot where I was born and the people I met. , and more importantly I forgot how to play chess."

The tears in Laisheng's eyes gradually became hollow, and she suddenly remembered that the last time she tested Fujiwara, he was completely indifferent to the Mermaid Island where she was born. At first, she thought he was pretending, but she didn't expect it to be true.

(Turns out I misunderstood him.)

Hitomi also looked compassionate in the next life, and it must be painful to forget her past.

"If Fujiwara needs help, feel free to speak up. I think we can help you find your memories and people." Just because a person has forgotten the past does not mean that the past has also forgotten this person. In the next life, Hitomi thought that maybe somewhere Fujiwara's old friends are still waiting for his return.

"I don't think so. I checked with the Shogi Association. When I came to learn chess, I was alone without any family members. And now that I'm back on my feet, if I had an old friend, he should have contacted me long ago. Unfortunately, he didn't No, maybe I used to be a lonely person."

The more they listened, the more they felt that Fujiwara was miserable. The three sisters looked at each other. Although they had heard that Fujiwara was an orphan, they never thought that Fujiwara had no memory of the past.

"But fortunately, I got to know a lot of people after I regained consciousness. I think my current condition should be much better than before."

The once dazzling Dragon King has retreated and been replaced by a mystery novelist who is in hot condition. No matter how you look at it, this is a better ending.

"To be honest, some time before the competition, I suddenly felt that I could play chess. If this memory hadn't aroused my self-confidence, otherwise I might not have dared to attend the meeting. But you may not know that I played chess at the end. The stage is almost lost.”

"What do you mean, Fujiwara won easily?"

"Although I did recover some memories before the game, because I neglected to keep in touch with the latest tactical formations, some of them failed to parry. If it hadn't been for an unexpected incident, I would have lost face and lost face in front of tens of millions of spectators."

"Ah? What accident happened?" Afterlife Ai and Afterlife Tong asked curiously at the same time.

"The referee supervising the game died on the night when the chess was closed. Although it was announced that it was an accident, the police finally verified that the person who killed the referee was actually Tanaka Yasuo who was afraid of losing."

Afraid of losing and killing the referee. What kind of strange reason is this?

When the three women were puzzled, Fujiwara added, "The reason is because the opponent is under great pressure to play chess with me. He is afraid of losing and is ready to close the chess and think of countermeasures. However, there is a rule in shogi that you need to know the next move before closing the chess." I wrote down the instructions on paper and stuffed them into an envelope for safekeeping. But the master tricked me and put a piece of white paper in his hand to prepare a countermeasure overnight."

"That's not fair. Then can he just think of ways to win chess overnight?"

"Yes, so the referee discovered that he was cheating and was about to take him to the referee committee to verify the contents of the envelope. Tanaka Yasuo, who was afraid of being exposed, killed the referee and made it look like the opponent drank and fell to death. But the opponent Because I was not familiar with how to wear a suit, I thought that when the suit was not worn, it should be folded like a kimono. In addition, because the referee died and no one knew the password to the safe, the committee temporarily requisitioned Yasuo Tanaka’s chessboard and chess pieces. "

When Fujiwara talked about how a certain chess piece was stained with blood, he immediately remembered that a professional chess player on the live TV at that time had analyzed that Tanaka Yasuo had a great chance of winning. As long as he upgraded Kakuyuki to Ryoma, he could seal the game, but the opponent was Do not move.

"It's funny to say, the reason why I won the championship was because my opponent didn't dare to move very important chess pieces, so he lost to me on purpose."

In terms of chess prowess, Fujiwara, even if he has a master level, is probably no match for Tanaka Yasuo.

"No, Fujiwara, I don't think you need to think that way at all. After all, it was the opponent who made a mistake again. If we follow the formal process, there should be a penalty for cheating when the game is closed."

"Well, it will be a loss."

Afterlife Ai, who had wanted to interrupt for a long time, consoled with some excitement:
  "So Fujiwara's championship is well-deserved. Who didn't say that, luck is also a part of strength?"
