Full-time cartoonist

"They are all out." Higashikata replied.

Minami Chiharu has to work, Takagi Kiko is always not in the dormitory, and Yoshii Sankyu has also been busy recently.

As for Akimiya Akemi, her friend held an art exhibition and went to help.

Why does Higashi Hibiki know?

Because Akimiya Akemi apologized for not being able to be an assistant today.

This made Higashikata feel extremely ashamed.

Akimiya Akemi has been doing her job as an assistant without expecting anything in return. After much deliberation, Hibiki could only give her a good husband in return.

"Well, that's quite boring." Yamazaki Akira shook his head, looking slightly disappointed, "I also hope that there will be more people, so I brought the UNO card specially."

"Eh?" Higashino Hibiki was a little surprised, "I thought chess players liked to be more chill."

"How could that be?" Akira Yamazaki cheered up, "Chess players are human beings too. I usually like to dance or go to KTV."

She took out a folding fan from her back, with two Chinese characters for "Ji Dao" written on it, and shook it proudly, "I am a second-level Go professional, Yamazaki Akira. Please give me your advice in the future."

"Isn't it cold in winter?" Dong Yexiang was surprised.

"It's still quite cold." Akira Yamazaki shivered.

"No more, no more, let's get started!" Akira Yamazaki waved his hand, sat on the sofa, and blinked at him.

"Okay, I'll get the chessboard."

Higashikata went to the second floor and brought down the osmanthus chessboard he bought.

This brand new chessboard, including the chess pieces, costs 150,000 yen in total, which is unexpectedly expensive.

It was enough for Yui Hirasawa to buy three guitars that were bargained down by the chairman’s daughter.

But in order to draw comics to look more professional, there is no other way.

It’s impossible to go to the chess board of the chess academy for free, right?

Although today’s second paragraph looks pretty easy to deceive.

Facing Yamazaki Akira, Higashino Hibiki told her about the chess game she needed.

"What we are playing is Xiuche style, the level of a chess master. The opponent is modern Go, amateur Dzogchen. Except for professional chess players, we will not lose to anyone else."

"Yeah." Akira Yamazaki nodded, it was a bit complicated, but that's what she was here to do.

"You need Shu Ce Liu to use the guidance chess to win easily."

"Well..." She hesitated.

"We use ancient formulas and calm tactics to defend the opponent's offense."

"Let me think about it..." Yamazaki Akira was a little troubled. It was originally a simple and interesting job, but it could also become a topic of conversation and a book. I didn't expect that the boy named Hibiki Higashino would be so strict.

Yamazaki Akira opened the folding fan and slapped his head, which was getting bigger after feeling dizzy. "I have to go back and look through the ancient records of the Chess Academy. Please wait for a while."

Hibiki nodded, "Well, time is not a problem, all this is troublesome to you, Yamazaki Akira, professional second level."

Perhaps she was worried that she would be underestimated by Hibiki Higashino. She looked at the chessboard and curled her lips, "Let's play chess. I'll let you have five stones."

"Five pieces! You underestimate me too much." Higashino Hibiki stood up angrily. These are five pieces. Although Go is not backgammon, one more piece is already a very big advantage, let alone five pieces. Where are the particles?

"clatter!"

After setting the plate, Hibiki Higashino was confident.

Today is the start of defeating professional chess players.

20 minutes later…

"Fifth son...Fifth son can't do it..." Dongye Xiang lowered his head and became melancholy.

A complete failure.

"Hahaha," Akira Yamazaki covered his mouth with a folding fan and snickered, "I made you look down on me. Now you know the strength of the second-level professional. After all, I was born out of thousands of people fighting."

"I'm too superficial." Hibiki apologized.

They played a few more rounds, and Hibiki lost them all.

Yamazaki Akira's desire to win was so strong that when faced with novices, he showed no forbearance when playing chess. Instead, he enjoyed the pleasure of torturing vegetables and frying fish.

It wasn't until the time came to five o'clock that she let out a long sigh, stood up and put on her backpack, "I'm going to say goodbye today. If everything goes well, I will bring the chess records on Wednesday."

Dongye Xiang asked to stay, "Why don't you stay for a meal?"

"Sorry, I have a date with my boyfriend tonight."

"Then it won't affect you. Walk slowly along the way."

Dong Yexiang sent her out and then watched her leave.

Minami Chiharu happened to be walking over from the other side with a vegetable basket slung across her body. She looked at Yamazaki Aki's retreating figure and asked curiously: "Higashino-kun, what are you doing?"

Higashino Hibiki took the food basket, looked down at it, and grinned, "I asked a professional Go player to learn how to play chess."

"Really? Higashino-kun actually likes to play chess," Minami Chiharu didn't even take a break. She walked into the kitchen, put on her apron, and started cooking dinner.

Hibiki Higashikata followed her and helped wash the tomatoes and meat, "Well, I think Go is very interesting."

"It's a rare hobby. Boys who can play chess are very handsome." Minami Chiharu squatted and peeled potatoes, "But don't forget to draw well, we are art students."

"Of course, I have eight hands. I want them all."

"Sounds like a kid talking."

"Hahaha, maybe so."

There is no serialization, and Hibiki Higashino is not ready to reveal the news of drawing comics.

After all, everyone around me knows it, and it would be really embarrassing if it failed.

It will be interesting to wait until it is serialized and I can no longer hide it, and then I surprise them.

…

On Wednesday, Akira Yamazaki came to "Yoshiharaso" and brought the chess records that Hibiki Higashino wanted.

I heard that it was discussed with the teachers at the chess academy.

Higashino Hibiki looked at it and found that it was much more reasonable than the chess record he had found.

After expressing his sincere gratitude, he lost three more games of chess, leaving Akira Yamazaki refreshed and satisfied.

Let her participate in the Go game at this time, and she will definitely be confident and then score a big defeat of 2-16.

After all, after playing too much chess with the bad chess player Hibiki Hibiki, it is conceivable that his level will decline.

Afterwards, Hibiki Higashino contacted Sasaki and revised the manuscript he had drawn.

Sasaki was very curious, "Readers can't understand either, why do you have to be so serious?"

"I hope that more than ten years later, when everyone thinks of "Go Soul", they will not say that "Go Soul" is serious nonsense." Hibiki Higashino thought of an animation he loved as a child - "Go Boy".

The heaven and earth are unified, and the demons are transformed.

It sounds full of momentum, awesome and coaxing, making people's blood boil and making them feel uncomfortable.

Only when I became sensible did I realize that everything was fake and had special effects added.

Real Go is not played like that at all.

Suddenly I felt a little depressed, as my childhood seemed not as beautiful as I thought.

"I hope readers can still love their favorite works after learning about Go through "The Soul of Chess"."

"If "The Soul of Chess" can be serialized, it will only be cut in half but not deteriorate."

Sasaki looked at him complicatedly.

"That's great, Higashino-kun, remember this feeling and never forget it."
