Host, I’m Here To Accompany You To Pretend

Naniwa Shirayukihime?

Chapter 687: Our association is booming

Nanami Aoyama didn't know if she remembered correctly. After all, shogi had nothing to do with her daily life. She also saw this news by chance.

If her grandfather hadn't been particularly fond of playing chess, she might not have noticed this.

After changing her shoes, Nanami Aoyama walked into the living room with her mother. When she saw her father and grandfather sitting on both sides of the chessboard, Nanami Aoyama calmly went over to look at the chessboard, and then immediately showed a look that she couldn't bear to look at. .

This is too miserable!

Her father's two rooks were gone, which is equivalent to having both rooks captured in chess. The scene was completely passive and there was no hope of victory in sight! I don’t even know what’s next!

And judging from the chess pieces held by both parties, her grandfather probably still had a handicap piece. Even if he was like this, he still killed her father like this. It can only be described as a father beating his son!

The feeling of watching her own chess move towards death step by step but being powerless. Just looking at her, she could imagine how uncomfortable the person playing chess would be.

Sure enough, after taking a few more steps, Nanami Aoyama's father could no longer bear the feeling of chronic death and put down the chess piece in his hand.

"I lost."

"Have you finally voted? I thought you would have to wait until you were about to die before giving in."

Qingshan Nanhai's father's mouth twitched.

Not only are these words extremely hurtful, they are even more insulting!

How serious are you, a chess player like an old man in the park, and this person who usually has nothing to do with playing casually? Or is it that torturing me, an amateur among amateurs, makes you so happy?

Nanami Aoyama's father really wanted to spit out the fragrance, but he couldn't.

There was no way, who knew that the person sitting opposite was his father!

After his energy was separated from the chessboard, Aoyama Nanami's father noticed that Aoyama Nanami had come over. Looking at Aoyama Nanami standing aside, he immediately thought of an excuse to change the topic.

"Nanami, you are back. Say hello to your grandpa."

“…”

You are using me as a shield!

Although Aoyama Nanami was very speechless, she still said hello to her grandfather first.

"grandfather."

Hearing Aoyama Nanami's call, her grandfather immediately showed a kind expression.

"Hey, it's been so long since I last saw you, Nanami has grown up too."

"Haha, it's okay. By the way, did I disturb you and my dad playing chess?"

Um?

Nanami Aoyama's father looked shocked and couldn't figure out why his daughter would bring up the topic of chess again at this time. It was not easy for him to take the topic astray!

He signaled his daughter with his eyes, hoping that the other party would stop discussing the topic of chess.

Qingshan Nanami gave him a reassuring look, and then immediately said: "If that's the case, I'll leave first and come back after you've had enough."

? ? ? ? ?

Nanami Aoyama's father looked confused, is this how you reassure me? !

Didn't you use me as a shield first? This is called reciprocity!

This wave can only be said to be a loving father and a filial daughter!

"What's wrong with this? With your father's chess skills, I can't even give him one hand!"

"This...if you give up both hands, you won't be able to play chess."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Nanami Aoyama's expression was filled with joy when she saw her father was defeated, but then she suddenly remembered the news she had just remembered.

If it was grandpa, he might know this person.

"By the way, Grandpa, you know a lot about the world of shogi. I wonder if you have ever heard of Shirayuki-hime of Naniwa?"

Hearing this, Nanami Aoyama's grandfather showed a strange expression.

This made Nanami Aoyama, who has a serious personality, a little uneasy. Did she ask something wrong?

"Grandpa, don't you know this person?"

"How is that possible! Naniwa Shirayuki-hime, Sora Ginko, won the title at the age of eleven, the youngest female-style double crown in history, and also holds the titles of the female-style chess queen and the female-style chess player. The reward is to be a second-level chess player and a female shogi player. She is undefeated in official matches and is the strongest female shogi player in the history of shogi!"

Is it so exaggerated?

Aoyama Nanami was shocked. She had thought that the strength of the chess players who appeared in the news must be extraordinary, but she never thought that they would be this strong!

Although she didn't know what a female chess player was, she still understood the concept of titles. It was the highest-ranking name in the neon chess world!

The youngest in history! The strongest in history! Undefeated so far!

What kind of Feng Aotian script is this?

It’s simply more exaggerated than the art department students at Suimei High School!

Qingshan Nanami now understood that the reason why her grandfather was surprised was not because he didn't know Kong Ginko, but because he was surprised that he didn't know Kong Ginko!

"Are you actually such a powerful person? Haha, it's because I'm ignorant." Nanami Aoyama said with an embarrassed look.

"It's not your fault, but I didn't expect that Nanami would also become interested in shogi, and you actually asked me about Naniwa Shirayuki-hime."

"No, I am not."

Aoyama Nanami's grandfather raised his hand to interrupt her.

"No need to say more, grandpa understands it. By the way, today I have free time for the silver second-dan game. Nanami, would you like to go to the chess club with grandpa to take a look."

"Ah? There's no need for that. I'm playing chess very well. Why don't we suddenly disturb him?"

"Hey, it's not a title match today, so don't be so nervous. Moreover, the current Kansai Chess Club is very powerful! In addition to Sora Ginko's second dan, there are many powerful people. Nanami, you must be very interested as well. Bar!"

No! Not interested at all!

Although she thought so in her heart, Nanami Aoyama couldn't say no in her mouth.

Seeing her grandfather's cheerful expression, she really couldn't help but spoil the old man's interest.

Forget it, if you rarely meet your grandpa, just go shopping with him.

Don't let waiting become a regret!

"Well, then just listen to grandpa and go take a look." Nanami Aoyama nodded.

"Okay! Let's go there now!" the old man said in a brisk tone.

As a shogi lover who has been addicted to chess for decades, I am naturally extremely happy to see my granddaughter becoming interested in shogi.

…

Kansai Shogi Association, responsible for reception, looked at the news about Sora Ginko on his mobile phone, his face full of pride.

In recent days, the Kansai Shogi Association has become famous in the shogi world! Not only has the most talented female chess player in history emerged, but the younger generation of professional chess players from Kansai has also emerged unexpectedly!

If this development continues, their Kansai shogi players will inevitably become the mainstream of shogi!

Just when he was dreaming about reaching the top of the Kansai chess world, two people, an old man and a young man, walked in from the door of the association.

He knew the old man, he was a regular member of the association, and as for the girl, well... she was a newcomer that he had never seen before! Are you here to join the chess club?

Sure enough, our association is thriving!

Chapter 688: The wheel of fate begins to turn?

The receptionist came to Qingshan Nanami and her grandfather and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Qingshan, you are here to watch chess again. There are not many old people like you who often go to chess clubs."

"I can't help it. I only have a few hobbies. What else can I watch if I don't watch chess? You won't think it's troublesome for me, an old man, right?"

"Haha, Mr. Qingshan, you are joking. You have paid your dues. If you want to play chess, can I stop you? By the way, I still don't know who the young lady next to you is? She looks very unfamiliar. , it must be the first time to come to our chess club."

After a while of politeness, the receptionist brought the topic to Nanami Aoyama. Nanami Aoyama's grandfather was not a riddler either, so he introduced her very straightforwardly.

"This is my granddaughter Nanami Aoyama. I came here today just to take her to visit our Kansai Chess Club."

"It turns out that she is Mr. Qingshan's granddaughter."

The receptionist looked suddenly enlightened and then turned his attention to Nanami Aoyama.

"Hello Aoyama-san, I'm Yamada from the Kansai Shogi Association. I'm glad you came to visit our shogi club."

"Hello, Mr. Yamada."

Nanami Aoyama greeted her politely, which made Yamada's senses towards her increase sharply.

"By the way, Aoyama-san, you are visiting our Kansai Chess Club today, right? Can I take the liberty of asking how old you are this year?"

Um? Why are you asking questions about my age?

Although Aoyama Nanami was a little confused, she still answered the question truthfully. After all, she was not some purple old woman and was not very sensitive to her youth.

"I'm just sixteen this year."

"Are you sixteen? You should be in high school then."

Aoyama Nanami nodded: "Yes, I am Shuimei's student."

"Suimei... it sounds familiar." Yamada frowned and touched his chin: "I'm sorry, Qingshan, can you please tell me the full name of the school? I seem to have heard of this school somewhere."

"Okay, the full name of the school I study is Sumyeong University of the Arts Affiliated High School."

Yamada looked shocked.

"You're talking about the High School Affiliated to Suimei University of Arts! Isn't that a prestigious art school that art students from all over the country are vying to get into? I didn't expect you, Aoyama-kun, to be a student of this school!"

Nanami Aoyama waved her hand hurriedly.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. Shuimei's art department is indeed very good, but I'm just a general student."

"That's awesome! The admission threshold for Shuiming's general subjects is not low."

"This...Mr. Yamada, our topic has gone a bit far."

"Um, haha, I'm sorry I lost my temper just now. Since Aoyama-san is Suimei's student, he must be mainly focused on his studies. I joined the chess club to develop shogi as my hobby."

"Um...eh?"

Aoyama Nanami nodded first, then looked stunned.

Did Mr. Yamada just say that he would join the chess club? !

Why did Qingshan classmates react like this? Are you worried about our teaching level?

Yamada thought for a while and then smiled and said: "Aoyama-san, if you are worried about the teaching level of our chess club, then you can rest assured that many shogi teachers in our Kansai chess club are professional shogi players working part-time. Both level and teaching ability are..."

"Bridge bean sack!"

Aoyama Nanami hurriedly interrupted Yamada's words. She was originally doubtful that she had heard wrongly, but after hearing such words, she could no longer deceive herself!

"Mr. Yamada, I think you may have misunderstood something. I actually didn't think about it..."

"Nanami, what are you thinking about?" Grandpa Aoyama Nanami asked curiously.

Nanami Aoyama stiffened and couldn't say any more. She couldn't deny it in front of her grandfather.

What should I do now? I can't just follow Mr. Yamada's advice and join the chess club directly.

"I...I didn't want to do it so hastily, and weren't we here to watch Miss Kong Yinzi play chess today?"

Nanami Aoyama thought hard for a long time before coming up with such a far-fetched statement.

But in Yamada's ears, this had another meaning.

The traffic of Queen Sora Ginko is indeed terrifying, even students from prestigious schools like Aoyama-san are attracted to her.

Sure enough, if you want to expand the influence of shogi among young people, you still have to rely on young, beautiful and powerful shogi players like Queen Sora to support the show.

But with empty money as the goal, I didn’t expect Aoyama-san to have such a lofty ambition.

"I'm sorry, Aoyama-san, I was hasty just now and jumped to conclusions without considering your thoughts. I apologize to you."

Um? what happened? Did Mr. Yamada hear the hidden meaning in my words? That would be great!

"It's okay, Mr. Yamada, as long as you understand what I mean."
