Chapter 122: The heart of taking an apprentice! (Explosive update!)

The director at this time also noticed the movement between Natsume Chikage and Gu Chuan Caixu, and after simple communication with the two commentators through the intercom, quickly switched the main camera to this corner.

Inoue Masazo and Nanjo Maimai, who received the prompt, immediately restrained the serious expression they had when commentating on the professional duel.

They carefully observed the situation on the screen, and both couldn't help but reveal an expression of being unable to hold back a laugh.

However, the two were not surprised by Natsume Chikage's victory—after all, the opponent was just a little girl of about ten years old; no matter how powerful she was, there was a limit, and winning was a matter of course.

If he couldn't even win against such an opponent, that would truly be shameful.

They couldn't help but sigh that Natsume Chikage had good luck, meeting such a little contestant in the first round and advancing easily.

Of course, if it were any other contestant, they would likely be able to win easily if they met such an opponent.

Inoue Masazo looked at Gu Chuan Caixu, who was choking in the frame, and his tone carried a bit of regret:

"It seems our little contestant has lost regrettably."

Nanjo Maimai sighed lightly, as if she saw her former self.

She clenched her fists and said in an encouraging tone:

"Shogi is like life; there is victory and there is defeat."

"I hope this little contestant can draw experience from this failure, grow sturdily, and become stronger and stronger!"

Inoue Masazo nodded in agreement:

"That's right."

"Here, let us first congratulate contestant Natsume Chikage on his victory!"

The two commented briefly and then said no more.

After all, in this shogi tournament gathering experts, although Natsume Chikage and Gu Chuan Caixu had outstanding appearances, they were ultimately not heavyweight contestants.

The audience was more concerned about the intense duel between professional players, so the director and commentators didn't spend too much thought on the two.

At this time, Gu Chuan Caixu was still sobbing in a low voice, her eyes red.

Natsume Chikage held her hand and left the match area together.

Just after walking out of the venue, a staff member stepped forward to remind:

"Mr. Natsume, congratulations on winning the match."

Natsume Chikage nodded in response:

"Thank you."

The staff member continued:

"The prize money for winning this time will be remitted to your account before twelve o'clock tonight."

"Regarding the information for the next round of the match, we will send it to your mobile phone as before, please pay attention to check it at that time."

Natsume Chikage thanked him politely:

"Okay, thank you."

At this time, he noticed Gu Chuan Changhong and Horikawa Kaori who had been waiting in front for a long time.

Natsume Chikage held Gu Chuan Caixu and walked towards them.

As soon as she saw Gu Chuan Changhong, the little girl's tears couldn't stop falling, and she threw herself into her grandfather's arms and cried loudly.

Gu Chuan Changhong originally had many questions to ask his granddaughter, but seeing her appearance, he couldn't say anything for a moment, just stroked her head and comforted her in a low voice.

Horikawa Kaori quietly gave Natsume Chikage a thumbs up:

"Congratulations, Natsume-kun, winning the first battle!"

Natsume Chikage smiled slightly:

"Thank you."

Just at this time, Fukuda Tsukasa also easily defeated an opponent and walked out of the match venue.

Seeing Gu Chuan Caixu crying so sadly, he immediately understood that this little girl had lost the match.

He was not surprised at all—such a little girl clearly came from a wealthy family and came to the tournament just to join in the fun, having no strength at all.

Anyone who met her could win easily, it was just Natsume Chikage's good luck.

Fukuda Tsukasa walked to Natsume Chikage's side and said with a big laugh:

"Congratulations, Natsume-kun, easily taking one game."

"It seems we can meet again on the match venue next time, maybe we can even compete on the same stage, it's truly something to look forward to."

Horikawa Kaori snorted unhappily:

"We don't look forward to meeting you, stay on the side!"

Fukuda Tsukasa was not angry, still laughing happily:

"This matter is not up to you to decide."

"After all, it's random matching, and who you draw is not something you can decide."

"Right, Natsume-kun?"

Natsume Chikage nodded slightly:

"That is indeed the case."

Fukuda Tsukasa laughed:

"Haha, I knew Natsume-kun would say that."

"If we really meet, please show mercy."

After speaking, he turned and left with a big laugh.

Horikawa Kaori glared fiercely at his back, then turned to Natsume Chikage and exhorted:

"Natsume-kun, don't pay attention to this annoying ghost!"

"I think he just feels we are easy to bully and wants to be randomly matched with us!"

Natsume Chikage shook his head and smiled:

"Even if you say that, it's useless; after all, the opponent is not something we can choose."

Horikawa Kaori said helplessly:

"That's also true."

At this time, Natsume Chikage's stomach growled ungratefully.

He took out his phone to check the time and found it was already six o'clock in the evening, so he planned to go home.

Horikawa Kaori heard the protest from his stomach and immediately proposed:

"Natsume-kun, it's getting late, why don't we go have dinner together?"

Gu Chuan Changhong also developed a strong interest in Natsume Chikage and followed up with a proposal:

"The old man is also hungry."

"Meeting is fate; the old man's driver is waiting outside, why not let the old man be the host and invite everyone to have dinner together?"

Horikawa Kaori was stunned upon hearing this.

Driver?

Wait!

Could this old man be very rich?

Otherwise, how could he have a dedicated driver? ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
