"You're not late yet, are you?!"
A jeep pulled up to the side of the road, the back door opened, and a little girl with yellow hair jumped out, carrying a gift box and shouting excitedly.
"Marie, I thought you were going to be late!"
Mizukoshi Mio was one of the people who was closest to Kamina Mali back then. Now, she stepped forward, pouting and complaining.
"Hehe, after all, our training camp is in Shibuya. Even if we leave at 4 a.m., it's already quite late by the time we get here..."
"Oh! Good morning, President!"
Shen Guo Ma Li Ai scratched her head, and after explaining, she immediately straightened her back and greeted Luo Chen with a good morning.
Luo Chen was quite surprised: "Why are you being so respectful to me today, little girl?"
"Um, um..." Shen Guo Ma Li Ai lowered her head, feeling awkward and unsure how to answer.
"Young master's family."
The other person who got out of the jeep was none other than Yue Mieguiyi, who seemed to be the most relaxed person in the Shakyamuni Hall Study Group.
After not seeing him for many days, Yue Mieguiyi was still wearing the same white training clothes he always wore, with his ponytail tied high. He wasn't particularly pretty, but his temperament was absolutely outstanding.
"Miss Yue Mie." Luo Chen smiled.
Yue Miegui nodded, gently patted his junior sister Shen Guo Ma Li'ai's head, and said, "Young Master, you may not know this, but before coming to Adachi Ward today, Master said something quite impassioned."
"Something very passionate?" Luo Chen said he was all ears.
Yue Miegui smiled slightly and relayed, "If I'm not mistaken, this Kyoto Celebrity Tournament will become Luo Chenjun's true battle to become a god!"
"Oh?" Luo Chen said with a wry smile, "Isn't Senior Shijiatang a little too confident in me? Not to mention the distant past, just take that guy Shen Guo for example. He challenged the famous 9-dan Yuzuru Hanyu not long ago."
"Who knows? That's what our master said anyway. As disciples, we never dare to speculate." Yue Mieguiyi revealed an honest expression.
Luo Chen was speechless. He really suspected that this woman, Shikado Rina, must have picked up a book called "Daily Life in Anime Crossover: My Fiancée is Sora Ginko," otherwise how could she have such an intuition and trust him so much?
Of course, it cannot be denied that Shakya Tanglina's intuition was correct.
In this Kyoto Meijin Tournament, he does not believe that anyone, including the four young 8-dan players and the two A9 players, will be his opponent.
Unless Moonlight Saint intervenes.
He was looking forward to meeting Moonlight Saint again.
However, for some reason, as the start of the Kyoto Meijin Tournament draws ever closer, my anticipation grows stronger.
At the same time, a very strange premonition arises in my heart, a premonition that seems to be expressing, or elaborating on...
Perhaps I am still no match for that Shogi Sky?
Luo Chen shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and said with a smile, "Since Miss Yue is already here, there's no rush to go back to Shibuya right away, is there?"
Yue Miegui asked warily, "Does Luo Chen-kun want me to stay in Adachi Ward to help you with the children?"
"What are you saying? The children are being taken care of by Ms. Murasame and Ms. Kuruno. Miss Yue Mie only needs to help the children celebrate their birthdays tonight," Luo Chen said with a calm smile.
Yue Mieguiyi was speechless: "Isn't this considered taking care of the child?"
"He who can do it should work harder."
Luo Chen chuckled shamelessly.
After settling Yue Mieguiyi in, he asked Murasame-sensei, who happened to be there to clock in for work, to lead everyone out to buy birthday presents. He then returned to his room alone with the birthday cake.
The young crane, Ai, was still fast asleep.
Luo Chen gently pushed open the half-closed door to the side bedroom.
I placed the birthday cake on the study table next to me, then tore off a sticky note and wrote a few words of blessing on it.
Luo Chen's original plan was, of course, to wait for Chuhe Ai to wake up and then personally wish her a happy birthday before leaving (Li Qian Zhao).
You can wait and wait.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and Hina Tsuru, the elementary school student, was still not awake!
Instead, Luo Chen's phone rang, and it was Yukino Yukinoshita's friend, Katsu.
It rang only once before being disconnected.
A text message followed immediately.
[Yukino Yukinoshita]: "Didn't we agree to meet at eight o'clock? Where are you? Did you do something as egregious as being late?!"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, realizing it was indeed getting late. He stood up, stretched, tucked the blanket around Chuhe Ai, and whispered "Happy Birthday" in the elementary school student's ear.
He turned and left the room.
As soon as he leaves.
Lying in bed, Hina Tsuru, who had been fast asleep just a moment ago, suddenly sat up, her eyes glazed over, her cheeks puffed out, and muttered, "Master is such a fool!!"

P.S.: Hina Tsuru loves up↑.
Chapter 299 Arrival in Kyoto! Hinatsuru Akina vs. Hirano
Outside of the JS graduate program, the sky was already clear at 8 o'clock.
However, it's almost December, and the temperature outside is quite low.
Luo Chen went out wearing a brown trench coat and immediately saw Yukino Yukinoshita standing gracefully at the door, also dressed in winter clothes.
She wore a white open-front jacket, revealing a black turtleneck sweater underneath, paired with light blue jeans and a khaki plaid scarf around her neck.
He was dragging a small suitcase in his hand.
Luo Chen noticed Yukino Yukinoshita's momentary lapse in attention. Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to sense this as well, turning around to look at him. Her usually cold expression instantly turned somewhat playful.
"Greedy Luo Chen, is it because you didn't see your dream girl wearing stockings that you're a little disappointed?"
As always, Yukino Yukinoshita questioned him mercilessly.
Luo Chen shrugged and said, "So what if you're wearing over-the-knee socks? Do you expect me to grab them?"
"No." Yukino Yukinoshita's tone left no room for argument.
"Oh." Luo Chen smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to actually choose to go to Kyoto with me."
"Please don't misunderstand, it's just an inspection, nothing more. After all, the arrogant Luo Chenjun actually said such shameless things, which really makes people very unhappy," said Yukino Yukinoshita.
"It's up to you."
Luo Chen didn't take it seriously, opened the car door, and said, "Anyway, let's get in the car first. We'll drive to the high-speed rail station, and then take the high-speed rail to Kyoto. When we arrive, people from the Shogi Federation will come out to greet us."
Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, said nothing, and got into the car with Luo Chen.
After driving for about an hour, we arrived at the high-speed rail station.
Go round and round.
I sat on the Shinkansen for another two hours.
We are about to reach our destination.
Luo Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Gong Yufan Wan Zhi, asking her what she was doing and if she had time to pick him up.
Having Hirano by his side isn't a big problem, since he and Hirano are still completely innocent. Even if Yuuki Machi wanted to misunderstand, there wouldn't be any room for misunderstanding, right?
Besides, if Wanzhi could come and restrain Hirano, things would be much easier for me.
Ding Dong!
On LINE, Machi's messages to Gozen are replied to almost instantly!
[Machi, the servant]: "Is Tatsu-kun arriving in Kyoto soon? That's wonderful! But Konata just arrived in Osaka this morning, so rushing back now won't be enough to help in this situation / looking worried"
Luo Chen was speechless, thinking that since Wan Zhi, the chef, wasn't there, he would just contact the Shogi Alliance directly.
Ding-dong! *2
Another message from the servant Manzhi arrived.
[Machi, the servant]: "But it's alright. Machi and Mrs. Hinatsuru have become quite close recently. I just asked Mrs. Hinatsuru if she had time. She was very happy to hear that you had arrived and has already driven to the Shinkansen station."
Luo Chen was immediately speechless.
No, why does he feel like Machi is the one in charge of managing things?
If it were just a meal for Manji, Yukino Yukinoshita could probably handle it easily, and the two of them should be able to fight to a draw.
However, if it were Hinatsuru Akina, facing Yukinoshita Yukino, even if Hirano is wise, it would still seem like a case of being outmatched.
"This is a real headache."
Luo Chen rubbed his temples, thinking with a headache.
But he can't ask Gozen Machi to tell Hinatsuru Akina not to come, because that would only arouse more suspicion.
Even if Wan Zhi is easy to fool, I'll say it again: it's not so easy to fool Ashina.
hum.
Suddenly, Luo Chen felt a heaviness in his left shoulder.
