Yujiang smiled: "Being able to become Mr. Haneda's disciple is of course a dream for this junior. I'm afraid Mr. Haneda..."
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Haneda Yasuharu.
Haneda Yasuharu sighed: "Whether you are qualified or not depends on the chessboard. I will give you a chance. If you are really capable, I will accept you as my apprentice."
What Ikujiang wants is this opportunity. After all, he is quite confident in his shogi talent.
Hearing that Yasuharu Haneda was going to play chess with Danya Shibata, Ichiro Haneda dragged his sick body and insisted on watching the match live.
Haneda Yasuharu had no choice but to ask someone to bring over the chess equipment and table. The two of them sat on the floor in the dormitory and started the instructional game.
Haneda Ichiro sat next to the two of them curiously, staring at the chessboard.
The game started soon,
At first, Haneda Yasuharu didn't take Shibata Danya seriously.
Even though he was praised for his victory and strength, he still had no expectations at all for this novice who had only been exposed to shogi for less than half a month. But after Yu Jiang saw through his feint and actual attack and seized the opportunity to eat his Kei horse, Haneda Yasuharu became truly serious.
The two played against each other from day one to day after day. When Eri came in to add tea for the fifth time, the game finally ended with Yasuharu Haneda's beautiful king hand.
"Thank you for your advice." Yu Jiang folded his hands on his knees and bowed to Haneda Yasuharu very solemnly.
He had consumed so much energy in this round that his constantly tense brain was even a little dizzy.
On the other hand, Yasuharu Haneda is still in high spirits.
There is indeed a big gap between him and a real shogi master...
Wait, why is he lamenting this?
The purpose of learning shogi was to investigate the person behind the tampering with his car. As for improving his level, it should not have appeared in Yu Jiang's plan.
Ikue's tangled look fell into the eyes of Haneda Yasuharu. He thought that the little guy had suffered too much, so he quickly comforted him: "Tanya-kun, hide it! I think Katsumata is too conservative. Your talent In my opinion, it’s a rare occurrence in a century, no, a thousand years!”
Ikujiang really wanted to ask how his talent compared with Haneda Koji, but he was sensible after all and did not really say this question.
Haneda Ichiyo laughed so hard that she could hardly see clearly. She asked her husband eagerly: "How is it? Is this apprentice pretty good?"
Haneda Yasuharu saw his wife's little thoughts clearly, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he said to Yujie very formally:
"Tanya-kun, to be my apprentice, Yasuharu Haneda, you have to strive for excellence in shogi. I don't ask you to carry forward Haneda shogi, but at least you must completely inherit my mantle. Can you do it?"
"This is the honor of this junior." Yu Jiang said solemnly.
He became serious, and Haneda Yasuharu, who was originally serious, smiled instead: "Junior?"
Yu Jiang was stunned for a moment, then he quickly changed his name and called him master and called himself his disciple.
The shogi world has always had a teacher-to-teacher system, which is very similar to Go. Logically speaking, the current head of Haneda Shogi is still the only disciple, so he should hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony and invite prominent figures in the Japanese shogi community to bear witness.
But it is a pity that Yasuharu Haneda has not been in contact with his former friends and colleagues for too long since the death of his only son, and the couple does not want to return to the public eye again. Therefore, Yu Jiang's apprenticeship ceremony was changed to a simple one that was only conducted in the presence of everyone in the Haneda family.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Haneda Yasuharu stopped Ikue: "Tanya, if it's convenient, I'll ask Eri to clean up a room for you, and you can stay at home, right?"
Shibata Dan is also Haneda Ichiyo's savior, and Haneda Yasharu feels guilty for him. Now they have a master-student relationship, so Haneda Yasharu is very generous. He also really regarded Yu Jiang as the only junior.
However, Yu Jiang shook his head and declined: "I usually have to work, so it would be better to live closer to the company."
Only then did Yasuharu Haneda realize that Danya Shibata was not a full-time shogi player.
He originally wanted to persuade, but then he thought about Shibata Danya's terrifying talent, and swallowed his words of persuasion. In the end, he just warned: "Don't slack off even if it's a working day."
"Yes, don't worry."
Yujie said goodbye to Haneda and his wife, turned around and disappeared into the night.
"The year Koji left, he was almost as old as Danya, right?" Haneda Ichiyo suddenly murmured to himself, "It turns out that fifteen years have passed."
Haneda Yasuharu hugged his wife and remained silent.
The premature death of their son is an eternal pain in their hearts. Because of him, Yasuharu Haneda almost gave up shogi in these years - without a son, what is the meaning of these inheritances?
But now, the appearance of Danya Shibata has rekindled hope for Yasuharu Haneda.
The living must always look forward. They will never give up on Koji's case, but it is indeed time for the Haneda family to have an heir.
This is not only for Haneda-ryu Shogi, but also for Koji’s unfulfilled wish.
…
"So why didn't Haneda Ichiro become allergic when he came into contact with cakes for the second time?" Reiko Shimizu was curious after learning what happened today. "Is it because I took anti-allergic drugs?"
Ikue was busy sorting out the shogi-related materials handed to him by Yasuharu Haneda, and replied lazily: "Of course not. Because the allergen is protein, it has long been denatured by high temperature heating."
This is the same as boiling eggs, but it's a pity that Yasuharu Haneda has been bypassed by him, and Ichiyo Haneda trusts him too much, so no one can see through his plan.
"Tsk, Haneda-ryu." Reiko Shimizu smacked her mouth and sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect you to officially become a professional shogi player so soon."
This kind of profession that can only be seen on TV actually appears next to her.
What's more important is that this guy's job is obviously a killer.
Just outrageous.
"Speaking of which, isn't it true that a master can see a person's essence from his chess style? Aren't you afraid that Yasuharu Haneda will find out your true identity?"
After hearing Reiko Shimizu's question, Yujiang said disdainfully: "Whatever, it saves me trouble if he can really see it."
Using roundabout tactics to win the trust of the Hanedas was not Yue's usual style. If Yasuharu Haneda really discovered his identity, he could just threaten him, which might have better results.
"By the way." Yujiang thought of Reiko Shimizu, "Is that Ogura Yuya dead?"
Shimizu Reiko was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You are as direct as ever. Not yet, I plan to kill him tonight. What, do you want to go with me?"
Yu Jiang frowned: "It's too slow. If this continues, it will be difficult for you to complete all the processes within a week."
"Ah, are you worried about me? Don't worry, he won't see the sun tomorrow morning."
"No." Yu Jiang said expressionlessly, "You know nothing about the work efficiency of the list."
