Chapter 618

Now it just happened to be a small test by guiding Yue Dao Lin and Xiyuanji Qilai to play shogi.

"Then, you two play a game first."

He sat down beside the chessboard, his voice peaceful.

"I will watch from the side and tell you the gains and losses of each step and better ideas."

Yue Dao Lin and Xiyuanji Qilai both nodded obediently and began to move the pieces according to the basic rules explained by Natsume Chikage before.

Natsume Chikage pointed out at the right time from the side.

Surprisingly, the two girls who originally only stayed at the "know the rules" level of shogi had a feeling of sudden enlightenment under Natsume Chikage's guidance.

The direction of those pieces, potential threats, and the deep meaning of the layout seemed to be injected with a clear context, and it became exceptionally smooth to understand.

Compared to their own blind groping before, the efficiency was more than one level higher.

Even some simple small strategies like inducing the enemy to go deep and abandoning pieces to fight for the lead could be quickly understood after Natsume Chikage's brief explanation.

Yukimura Suzune, who was quietly writing her novel conception on the side, was also attracted by this gradually deepening game.

Her gaze moved away from the draft paper from time to time and glanced at the chessboard.

Listening to Natsume Chikage's clear, thorough, and easy-to-understand explanation, a trace of approval couldn't help but flash in her cold eyes.

—This guy is unexpectedly patient when guiding, and he explains it really well.

The time in the club room flowed quietly in the crisp sound of pieces falling and gentle explanations.

"Click."

The door of the club room was pulled open again.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui appeared at the door with a fresh water vapor, the tips of her hair still a bit moist, obviously having just showered in the track and field club.

Her energetic voice broke the focused atmosphere in the room:

"I—am back!"

"Let's continue yesterday's "Dungeons & Dragons" adventure... shall we?"

Before the words fell, her gaze fell on Yue Dao Lin, who was sitting beside Natsume Chikage and staring intently at the chessboard.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's expression froze instantly, turning into a capitalized astonishment.

"Yue, Yue Dao senior?! You... why are you here?"

Yue Dao Lin looked up at the sound, and an impeccable friendly smile appeared on her face:

"I have always been very curious about the Collection Club, and I happened to have time today, so I came to see. Plus, I suddenly became interested in shogi recently, and in the tournament, I saw Xia Mu-jun was very powerful, so I came to ask for advice presumptuously."

No matter how big Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's nerves were, she clearly smelled a kind of "sense of crisis" at this moment.

This senior, her purpose is absolutely not simple!

She subconsciously looked at Natsume Chikage, but found that he was concentrating on pointing at the chessboard, explaining the subsequent changes of a move to Xiyuanji Qilai.

Seeing this scene, an emotion mixed with loss and faint jealousy quietly filled Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's heart.

Didn't we agree to play board games together?

How did it become a shogi teaching class as soon as I came back?

Just at this moment, Yue Dao Lin picked up the bags of exquisite snacks from the table at the right time and handed them to Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, her smile generous and friendly:

"Fujiwara junior, you came back just in time. I heard that you like to try all kinds of snacks, I happened to bring a few that I think taste very good, I recommend you try them."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's gaze was instantly attracted by the cute snacks, and the little emotion just now seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

She immediately walked up happily and took them.

"Thank you senior! Then I won't be polite!"

Yukimura Suzune, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but hold her forehead in her heart.

This idiot... is too easy to buy!

At the same time, she also raised a trace of doubt.

Where did this Yue Dao senior learn the preferences of the few of us?

The investigation is too clear.

Yue Dao Lin saw that Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui had returned, and they seemed to have established arrangements, so she very sensibly did not continue to occupy Natsume Chikage's time.

Her purpose was not really to be proficient in shogi, but to create an opportunity to get along.

Learning too fast would instead reduce the excuse to come.

"It seems... you are actually planning to play this board game?"

Yue Dao Lin looked at the "Dungeons & Dragons" box on the table and asked with a smile.

Xiyuanji Qilai nodded and explained happily:

"Hmm hmm! This was brought by Aoi-chan yesterday, we plan to play this together when there are no club activities."

Yue Dao Lin showed an expression of sudden realization and understanding, and looked at her watch:

"So that's how it is... although I really want to play with you, I should go back."

Xiyuanji Qilai was a bit surprised:

"Eh? Senior is leaving already?"

Yue Dao Lin stood up, tidied her skirt, and nodded:

"Hmm, there are still some things at home. Have fun playing."

She turned to Natsume Chikage, bowed slightly, her tone sincere:

"Xia Mu-jun, thank you very much for your guidance today."

"After listening to your explanation, I realized that I was just taking one step at a time before, and there was no strategy at all."

"Now I feel that shogi is much deeper and more interesting than I imagined."

Xiyuanji Qilai also nodded vigorously, expressing deep agreement:

"Hmm hmm! Me too! Xia Mu-jun explained it particularly clearly!"

Natsume Chikage felt emotional in his heart.

It seems that the effect of the "Auxiliary Learning Set" is indeed good, allowing beginners to feel a significant improvement in a short time.

Yue Dao Lin showed a trace of shyness that was not enough to be satisfied on her face:

"But time is limited today, I only learned a little bit of fur... If there is a chance next time, can I ask you for advice again?"

Natsume Chikage responded readily:

"Of course you can."

Yue Dao Lin's eyes immediately bloomed with joyful smiles.

"Then, everyone, I will say goodbye first. I wish you a happy game."

Xiyuanji Qilai waved enthusiastically:

"Yue Dao senior, goodbye! You must come to play again next time!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was still chewing snacks in her mouth, and also waved vaguely:

"Senior goodbye... remember to come often."

Yukimura Suzune maintained basic politeness and nodded slightly:

"Yue Dao senior, walk slowly."

Natsume Chikage also said:

"Walk carefully, senior."

Getting Natsume Chikage's response, Yue Dao Lin nodded with satisfaction, turned and left the Collection Club.

After the door closed, Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui took another hard bite of the snack, and began to mutter in her heart.

A strong enemy! This is definitely a strong enemy!

Although I heard that she was rejected by Xia Mu-jun, it seems that she has no intention of giving up at all!

Must be vigilant!

However... the most important thing is, what does Xia Mu-jun think of Yue Dao senior now?

Must find an opportunity to test it, otherwise I won't feel at ease.

If Xia Mu-jun doesn't have that intention for her, then my advantage is still the biggest!

As for Suzune and Qilai... they don't seem to have any special thoughts about Xia Mu-jun, so there is no need to worry.

Yukimura Suzune looked at the direction Yue Dao Lin left, and glanced at Natsume Chikage beside her, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiyuanji Qilai just blinked her innocent big eyes, simply looking forward to Yue Dao senior coming to play together next time.

And Yue Dao Lin, who walked out of the teaching building, although happy for the interaction with Natsume Chikage today, still felt a trace of pressure in her heart when thinking of the three girls who almost surrounded him every day.

Can't slack off... must keep a close eye on it.
