Kong Yinzi turned her head to look in confusion.
Yue Mieguiyi looked at the photo with a surprised expression, then looked up and said, "A photo of the Queen of the Sky smiling? It's really nice, almost as good as the photo of Little Wanzhi crying. I'm saving it, bye~"
"asshole!"
Kong Yinzi only had time to utter one curse before Yue Mieguiyi turned and nimbly ran away.
Kong Yinzi's face fell.
To my left, it seems that the two chuunibyou (delusional) master and apprentice have started their incoherent conversation again...
They truly are from the same sect.
It's either extremely awful or extremely immature.
"Baga~"
Kong Yinzi clenched her delicate little fists.
Fortunately, not long after, she heard some news that made her very happy.
Or rather, to see.
On the giant screen in the center of the Chess Club hall.
The top of the screen shows the 159th move of the game.
Gariu Taisei tossed his jade general into the center of the chessboard, stood up, and said helplessly:
"I lost."
Chapter 121 Losing Her Soul: The Tragic Story of Shijou Maki
The next day!
A corner of Xiuzhi Academy.
Snap, snap, snap
A girl, seemingly devoid of her soul, walked listlessly, her back hunched, her hands almost touching the ground.
His expression was one of utter despair, like he'd lost his dreams and been completely ruined...
Her name is Shijo Maki.
The dignified Shinomiya family, with four branches, and the direct descendants of the main branch.
Those with high social status are not acceptable.
Even at Shuchi Academy, her status was similar to that of Kaguya Shinomiya... Although they couldn't truly match her, that was at least how some students perceived her.
Her academic performance is outstanding! In every mock exam, she consistently ranks fifth in the school, without fail.
Despite her privileged background and excellent academic performance, she recently encountered an incredibly difficult task assignment.
Her grandfather, Keita Shijo, said to her with unusual seriousness, "Maki, from now on, you must do something very important in your life in Hidechi!"
She was very excited, thinking that she had finally been valued by her grandfather who favored boys over girls, and excitedly asked, "What is '510'?"
Keita Shijo said, "The method doesn't matter, but it must not offend the opponent. We should recruit a young Go player to our side and make him an ally of Shijo. Of course, it would be even better if he could become our retainer!"
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry!"
Shijo Maki remembers answering like this: she was extremely excited and full of confidence, without a doubt.
However, once the task was started...
The nightmare has begun!!
She figured that since the other party was a young Go player, he would definitely be active in the Shogi League. Thus, a unique plan to create a chance encounter was launched!
She went to the Shogi League and staked out the place for four days in a row, but after waiting for ages, she still didn't see anyone.
Fortunately, hard work pays off.
On the fifth day, she saw him.
Squeezed among the crowd, she walked through the hall with another chess prodigy, a player she was not unfamiliar with. It's true that geniuses always travel in pairs.
She was overjoyed and hurriedly turned and ran down to the hall, but then...
Ugh!! There were so many people, I couldn't even squeeze through before I couldn't find anyone!!
On the sixth day, I waited at the Go Club to catch that guy's match.
She even took a day off, a whole morning, full of confidence, feeling that she would definitely succeed this time!
But! But... damn it!
That guy spilled the beans!
Because of his self-disclosure, he attracted a huge crowd of onlookers. The group of shogi fans went too far, blocking the road completely.
She just watched helplessly as that guy, after winning the game, walked away from her in less than ten meters!
The scariest thing is! She clearly took a whole morning off for this, but this guy only played chess for less than 5 minutes before leaving!!
But she, Shijou Maki, a woman of the prestigious Shijou family, was no ordinary person.
Day 7, let's try again!
He scored a second goal, as he decisively defeated a sixth-dan player, and was once again cheered for.
Of course, she originally had a chance to get close to Luo Chen this time, but a woman dressed as a reporter very rudely grabbed Luo Chen's arm and left!
She could only reach out her hand from behind, her expression blank and stunned, letting out a dry "uh..."
Damn it!!
That scheming female reporter! I was so close to success!!
Back home, she was so angry that she drank two large bottles of mineral water in one go. Then she heard her friend, Kashiwagi Nagisa, excitedly recounting what happened at the student council election meeting that afternoon.
Luo Chen made a strong appearance and won nearly 3000 votes, becoming the new president of the Xiuzhi Academy Student Council.
Seventeen or eighteen question marks immediately appeared above Shijou Maki's head!
What? If she doesn't go home in the afternoon and instead goes back to school, there's a chance she might see Luo Chen at the student council election meeting?
After confirming with her best friend that the Luo Chen in question was indeed the one she was thinking of.
Shijo Maki felt a mouthful of blood welling up in her chest, but she remained calm and silently drank three whole bottles of mineral water!
The eighth day,
Shijo Maki was numb because there was no Luo Chen match that day, but she really didn't want to waste any more time.
She hadn't finished the task her grandfather had assigned her after a whole week, and she felt that if she continued to procrastinate, she would seem very useless.
No, absolutely not! She's the daughter of the Shijou family. I can't let Grandpa Ears, who's so sexist, think she's even more useless!
So she took a very bold step, one that she had never tried before.
I personally paid a visit to the JS research group!
Therefore, she got ready and set off at 6 a.m., full of confidence, feeling that she would definitely succeed this time.
Moreover, in order to avoid annoying the other party and to avoid revealing her true purpose too early, she decided to conceal her identity today.
To everyone's surprise, at 6 a.m., the area outside the JS research lab was already packed with people!
Not only were there many parents, in groups, bringing their children to register, but also countless enthusiastic fans shouting things like "Young Master just got it!"
Since she didn't bring her children, she was naturally categorized as a die-hard fan by the JS Research staff.
In the morning, she joined the crowd in shouting, wanting to rush in.
Defeat!
In the morning, she joined the crowd in shouting, trying to rush in.
Defeat*2!
At noon, she neither rested nor ate, and continued shouting, trying to rush in.
Defeat*3!
In the afternoon, she persevered, getting back up wherever she had fallen. She mentally encouraged herself, shouting, "I just got the real concubine!" She wanted to rush in...
Defeat*4!
At 7 p.m., exhausted, she was driven back by Kaguya Shinomiya's maid, Ai Hayasaka.
Clinging to the rear window, she made one last, reluctant look at the JS research group, only to be horrified to discover... wait, when did this happen?
Where are the people at the entrance of the JS research institute? Where are they? Where are they? There's no one here! It's completely different from during the day.
"Put me down, put me down, put me down quickly!" Shijou Maki shouted excitedly to Hayasaka Ai, who was driving the car.
That wretched blonde maid actually turned around and glanced at her indifferently before making the domineering decision that Miss Maki was experiencing a final burst of lucidity, that it was very dangerous, and that she needed to be rushed to the hospital...
Shijou Maki has gone mad!
On the ninth day, I sneaked out of the hospital and, early in the morning, saw the familiar crowds outside the JS Research Institute.
She gave up and decided not to hide her identity anymore. In any case, she wanted to see Luo Chen first.
