Chapter 030 – Thank You for the Compliment
Seeing her reaction, Luo Feng was very satisfied as he squeezed her chest, “A bit small, but she should grow bigger in the future.”
It doesn’t matter. A child with such a beautiful soul, size doesn’t matter at all.
Small has its advantages, and big has its advantages too.
Luo Feng was looking for a lover, not a wife, and he never planned to just find someone like this. His relationship with Sora Ginko was a purely transactional one.
Don’t they have big ones waiting for him to save as well?
Tsk, I really am a benevolent devil, always thinking about how to save the masses.
At that moment, a contract appeared in front of Sora Ginko’s eyes.
According to the contract, she had to serve Luo Feng every night from 7 PM to 8 AM the next morning, when she had to go to school.
If there were shogi tournaments, she could take a leave of absence with Luo Feng. This izakaya only operates until midnight, so she would have 8 hours of sufficient sleep, or rather, it ensures she will be energetic the next day.
With the power of the devil, she can sleep for 4 hours and still be energetic the next day.
There will be no rest days for half a year.
See, a very humane contract.
Just as Sora Ginko was about to put her hand on it, a voice rang out in her heart. Her instinct told her that if she signed this contract, she would have to fulfill it.
Any ambiguous terms would ultimately be interpreted by Luo Feng.
During this period, Luo Feng can do anything to force her to sign the contract and kill her. He can put her in any position, and she won’t be able to resist.
If violated, the contract will forcibly execute it.
Sora Ginko had already made up her mind. At this point, she didn’t care anymore.
How much more miserable could it get? Kuzuryuu Yaichi doesn’t belong to me, he doesn’t even like me.
My body doesn’t matter anymore, the only thing I want is shogi!
And he has already given me a discount, I don’t know if it’s because I moved him, or his kindness, or because I apologized to him…
She steeled her heart and put her handprint on it, also imprinting her soul.
It’s back, it’s all back.
The memories of that game, and my inspiration, they’re all back!
She enjoyed replaying the game in her mind, the one she played with Luo Feng…
Hmm, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the chessboard I could simulate in my mind before seemed to be missing two pieces?
Not only that, the number of moves I could pre-read also decreased a bit…
Is it because I’m not focused enough now?
It should be like that.
“Comfortable.” Sora Ginko closed her eyes in enjoyment.
Only those who have experienced this kind of chessboard in their mind know how precious it is, and how enjoyable playing shogi can be.
Bring on the 3-dan tournament, professional shogi player matches, all of them!
I’m no longer the me from before, I can change the entire shogi world, my shogi skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
Those difficult matches in the past now seem exceptionally easy.
Is this the power of the devil? Awesome!
I hope he didn’t lie to me, and that he really did give me this ability.
It turns out he’s not an utterly evil guy.
This kind of reaction from her is very normal, just like how a person curses the other person, but as long as the other person treats her a little better, she will be very grateful.
On the other hand, if you’re always too good to her… there are too many examples of “repaying kindness with resentment”.
Sora Ginko’s mind was now crystal clear, completely immersed in the countless chessboards and matches.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi, the angel’s warning, all of these were thrown to the back of her mind.
She suddenly understood why Luo Feng said that woman, even knowing it might be a trap here, would definitely come and sign the contract. In the absence of any retreat or way out, this is the only glimmer of hope.
This feeling of regaining what was lost is the most wonderful feeling in the world!
Those who were originally geniuses really don’t know how hard-won this ability is. Only someone like her, an average person, can truly appreciate the preciousness of this talent.
Even if her life is only half a year left, as long as she can enjoy this power again, she can accept it.
Shogi is her everything!
Hearing the truth in the morning, being willing to die in the evening.
The matches between famous players and Kuzuryuu Yaichi, as well as some other brilliant matches that she couldn’t understand before, she can now understand them all.
She even wonders when she will transcend the shogi recognized by this world, when she will ascend to the realm of the gods, and trample on Yaichi, the famous players, and all those other shogi players.
If Sora Ginko wasn’t so obsessed with shogi, she wouldn’t enjoy it so much, like giving Yukinoshita Saori this kind of shogi talent. She wouldn’t just give up her soul, but even a year of her life.
Thinking about it, if it weren’t for this guy, she probably wouldn’t have found this path.
This path, directly leading to the peak of shogi.
“Hmm, since it’s comfortable, then shall we…”
“Huh?” Sora Ginko suddenly felt something strange, especially on her chest, it seemed like…
She lowered her head and saw a pair of large hands covering her chest.
She opened her eyes wide.
Wait, is it starting this fast?
Sora Ginko was completely unprepared, the previous anger and numbness had been skillfully resolved by Luo Feng, and now she was in a panic.
Even though she was decisive when signing the contract, it doesn’t mean she was ready!
It’s like a person who has gone through thousands of mock exams, but still gets nervous when they enter the real college entrance exam.
My upper body is now bare, and he is currently…
She suddenly noticed that the surroundings had changed, and the two of them were no longer in the previous izakaya, but had come to a spacious bedroom. She was lying obediently on her side, and Luo Feng was hugging her from behind.
This bed is too big, at least ten people could lie on it!
The bedroom’s decor is very luxurious, not the familiar Japanese or European style, but an antique Chinese style.
The man is wearing English-style clothing, while she is wearing a typical Japanese sailor uniform, in this Chinese-style bedroom, this scene gives Sora Ginko a sense of absurdity.
“Wait, we don’t have an emotional foundation…”
“Emotional foundation? Why think about that.” Luo Feng’s low voice sounded in Sora Ginko’s ear, and one of his large hands slowly moved downward: “This is a transaction, a reasonable transaction. You accompany me for half a year, and I grant you abilities. Don’t worry, the current abilities are for life, and I won’t take back those two games’ memories either, this is what you deserve.”
“Don’t ever think of me as a good person. Granting you abilities you shouldn’t have, and then having to cultivate feelings, that would be a losing business.”
“Although the timing today is not quite right, since you’ve already signed the contract and have the resolve, don’t even think about running away.” Luo Feng did not stop his actions: “The real ritual has begun.”
“No, your clothes…” Sora Ginko couldn’t resist, instinctively covering her face.
“What do you think? Haven’t you watched those special movies?”
“I, I haven’t…”
“Lying to the devil is not a good thing, you know.”
“Wait… you really are a devil!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
