Chapter 383

"Please follow me, everyone."

The three nodded.

Soon.

Everyone arrived at the shogi club door.

Enemies meet, eyes are red.

Seeing Asahina Akatsuki, Araki Jieai didn't even say hello, and went up to pinch her, aiming her fingertips at the other party's cheeks.

"A-sa-hi-na A-ka-tsu-ki—you actually dare to come over?!"

Asahina Akatsuki, who looked like a lady just a moment ago, had intended to say hello, but since the other party was like this, she didn't want to be outdone, and immediately pinched Araki Jieai, angry, her eyebrows standing up:

"A-ra-ki Jie-ai—you stingy ghost, just because I won you in the women's competition qualifier, you directly deleted my friend?!"

Araki Jieai's old face flushed, shouting, trying to cover up the embarrassment:

"It's because I ate your food and had a stomachache, affecting my performance, otherwise how could I have lost!"

Asahina Akatsuki was angry, her volume also raised:

"Who told you to eat wildly when I was treating you, not to mention eating until you were poor, and then you had a stomachache, how dare you blame me?!"

Natsume Chikage paused, asking, looking at the several boys nearby who seemed used to it.

"Everyone... shouldn't you manage the situation here?"

"It's fine, it's fine, they are like this." Anjing Liangdou waved his hand.

"No need to manage, they will stop by themselves when they are tired." Tanabe Yuto's tone was flat.

"Let them make trouble, they will stop when they are tired." Suzuki Takayuki pushed his glasses.

The three were long used to the situation of these two.

Anjing Liangdou reached out and shook hands with Tanabe Yuto and Suzuki Takayuki.

"Two, long time no see."

"Anjing-kun, long time no see, where is your big-mouthed president?" Suzuki Takayuki asked.

"That guy, had a car accident and hit his leg, now he is recuperating in the hospital." Anjing Liangdou answered.

"This is a good thing, finally don't have to be so annoyed." Tanabe Yuto happily took the conversation.

"Indeed." Anjing Liangdou also smiled.

"Since you are here now, let's start the war immediately!" Suzuki Takayuki was eager to try.

Natsume Chikage, seeing his duty completed, planned to slip away, his footsteps turning toward the door quietly.

Just at this moment.

The shogi club advisor teacher—Nomura Tomohiro, grabbed Natsume Chikage's shoulder instantly, frowning and asking:

"Good boy, you want to leave as soon as you come?"

"Did you ask me?"

Natsume Chikage remembered this Nomura Tomohiro, who was a high school second-year language teacher in the school, always in a well-pressed suit.

But because he was over forty, he had already exceeded the minimum age to become a professional shogi player, so his highest rank so far was a three-dan player in the reward association.

Just one step away from becoming a professional.

It could be said to be very regrettable.

But what made Natsume Chikage puzzled was why this teacher was holding him back, he asked confusedly:

"Nomura-sensei, is there anything?"

Nomura Tomohiro asked, staring at him:

"I remember you also participated in the New Sharp Shogi Competition, right?"

"Now everyone is playing shogi here, such a good learning and exchange opportunity, you just want to leave?"

Hearing Natsume Chikage was preparing to leave, everyone's shocked gazes also instantly cast over, gathering on him.

Araki Jieai and Asahina Akatsuki also stopped fighting, the two complained, rarely on the same front:

"I remember Natsume-kun, you don't have a rank, and your competition seems to be in two days, such a good learning and exchange opportunity, you don't stay here to study well, where do you want to go?"

"Exactly, stay here for your Ai-sister!"

Anjing Liangdou also muttered, his voice not loud but clear:

"Natsume-kun, Suzuki-kun is stronger than me, he is a three-dan in the reward association, just a little bit away from being promoted to professional."

"And Tanabe-kun, although he started late, he is now a 3rd-grade member of the reward association, his strength is much stronger than the Fukuda Tsukasa you fought before."

"If you can fight them, your strength will definitely improve."

Natsume Chikage knew that after being promoted from 6th grade to 1st grade in the reward association, one would reach the first dan of the reward association.

And above the first dan, there were second dan and third dan.

Only by being promoted at the third dan could one become a professional.

So the strength of these two was indeed not weak.

Especially Suzuki Takayuki, it could be said that like the advisor teacher, he was just one step away from becoming a professional shogi player.

Being almost a professional shogi player at the age of high school second year was really rare, completely to the extent of being able to brag.

But Natsume Chikage still had to go code words now, where did he have time to play shogi.

Just when he was thinking about what excuse to find.

Suddenly.

The phone rang, exceptionally clear in the slightly noisy club room.

Natsume Chikage was stunned after seeing the caller, and clicked to answer.

【Jiu Jing Ziyuan: Natsume-kun, heard from other students that you are not in class, where did you go?】

【Natsume Chikage: Shogi club members from other schools came for learning and exchange, I just brought them in.】

【Jiu Jing Ziyuan: Since you are done, come to the classroom office, the physics teacher and the baseball advisor teacher have something to find you.】

【Natsume Chikage: Two teachers looking for me? What for?】

【Jiu Jing Ziyuan: You'll know when you come.】

【Natsume Chikage: Hmm.】

After hanging up the phone.

Natsume Chikage breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulder line relaxing slightly:

"Everyone, that's the situation."

"The physics teacher suddenly has something to find me, let's do it next time."

Asahina Akatsuki said helplessly, with some regret:

"Alright..."

Nomura Tomohiro muttered, letting go of his hand:

"Consider yourself lucky, boy."

Anjing Liangdou sighed lightly:

"Since that's the case, let's do it next time, anyway there is plenty of time."

Natsume Chikage said goodbye, turned and left:

"Hmm hmm, then see you next time."

After Natsume Chikage left.

Nomura Tomohiro said helplessly, shaking his head:

"This boy, I feel he is not very passionate about shogi."

"Otherwise, how could a normal shogi player give up such a good exchange opportunity."

"If it were me, I wouldn't pay attention to that physics teacher, just stay here, who cares."

Suzuki Takayuki suddenly realized, as if understanding something:

"No wonder."

Tanabe Yuto felt relieved, the corners of his mouth rising imperceptibly.

After all, the less Natsume Chikage liked shogi, the less he could pursue Asahina Akatsuki, who liked shogi.

Nomura Tomohiro asked, looking at Araki Jieai:

"Speaking of which, this Natsume Chikage clearly doesn't have a rank, but still dared to participate in the competition, do you know the reason why he participated?"

Araki Jieai said regretfully:

"It's because Natsume-kun's family situation is not very good." ===== CHAPTER 384 =====
