Chapter 13: The Rhythm Master
Just now, he didn’t think much of it. After all, the distance between the two was just a bit close. But now, he had to think more about it.
It was Senior Sister who was grabbing that man’s hand, not the man grabbing Senior Sister’s hand.
Senior Sister… actually took the initiative?
Combined with Senior Sister’s nervous and strange behavior when they met yesterday, even if he was dense, he couldn’t treat them as just having a normal customer and store owner relationship. Even if they weren’t lovers, they should have a special relationship.
Yaichi Kuzuryuu tried his best to search through his memories. He really didn’t know about the existence of such a person.
Ginko Sora’s social circle was very small, basically all people from the shogi world. It was rare for Yaichi Kuzuryuu not to know someone.
Stay calm, I have to stay calm. Just pretend nothing happened, pretend I didn’t see anything.
As for their relationship, I can ask Senior Sister later. Senior Sister will definitely tell me. I’m her junior brother after all…
This time when Yaichi Kuzuryuu ran into them, Luo Feng didn’t remind Ginko Sora.
“So, do you think I’m more like a god or a devil?” Luo Feng said softly, “Think carefully before answering. This answer is very important.”
“Neither.” Ginko Sora gave a third answer.
If she said he was like a god, the request he made didn’t match the image of a god in her heart at all.
If she said he was like a devil, he also wasn’t like the devil in her heart who did whatever he wanted.
“Tsk, what a boring answer.” Luo Feng shook his head helplessly, “I’m going back. You’re not the only one who needs my salvation.”
“Does your salvation always require such a big price…?”
“How do you know that sleeping with me for a year isn’t a kind of salvation for you?” Luo Feng said meaningfully, “Your junior brother has very good romantic luck. If you get hung up on him, in the end, you might lose both shogi and him. You will have nothing and die in agony.”
After saying that, Luo Feng broke free from her small hand and walked towards his izakaya, leaving Ginko Sora in a daze.
He, he said sleeping with him was saving me?
She stood there for a full three minutes before understanding Luo Feng’s train of thought and reluctantly piecing together yesterday’s and today’s events.
He was a god who listened to her inner thoughts, pitied her, favored her, and brought her to his place.
He gave her talent for three days, wanting her to permanently obtain this talent at the cost of sleeping with him for a year.
Why did he give this reason? Was it really because she disrespected a god? Was he really that petty?
If Luo Feng were still here, he would definitely answer Ginko Sora: He was indeed quite petty.
But Ginko Sora combined today’s events with the other things he said and came to a different conclusion.
Since he could see memories and read thoughts, he must be able to see the future, right?
By proposing that condition, did he want her to break things off with Yaichi?
Because Yaichi might marry Keika in the future, or marry Ai Yashajin, or marry Ai Hinatsuru?
At that time, would she completely break down? This wasn’t impossible to happen!
Her world only had Yaichi and shogi. If Yaichi ended up with another woman, she didn’t know what kind of mood she would be in at that time. She didn’t even dare to think about it.
Then… because she was attached to Yaichi, her shogi skills would decline, and she would gradually fade out of Yaichi’s sight?
Ginko Sora had already seen the talent of his two female disciples. She felt those two girls might really threaten her position.
Since Yaichi loved shogi so much, would he also love them so much?
Ginko Sora felt very cold as if her blood had frozen.
If she lost to those two girls in shogi and lost Yaichi in love, what would be the point of living?
“Who will he end up with…”
Ginko Sora opened her mouth and only then realized that Luo Feng had disappeared.
That’s right. Whether he was a devil or a god, his eyes couldn’t only be on her.
Who would he favor?
There definitely wasn’t only one talented and cute female shogi player.
Ginko Sora’s heart was in turmoil. Without thinking, she walked towards the train station.
No, I have to go home and calm down.
Ginko Sora’s rhythm was successfully thrown off by Luo Feng, making her completely misunderstand Luo Feng’s intentions.
After Luo Feng’s meddling today, a crack appeared in both Yaichi Kuzuryuu and Ginko Sora’s hearts, like a spark that could start a prairie fire or an ant hole at the bottom of a thousand-mile embankment.
If Luo Feng were just an ordinary person, he wouldn’t be able to do this at all. He wouldn’t even be able to get close to Ginko Sora.
Unfortunately, Luo Feng wasn’t an ordinary person but a devil.
With Ginko Sora’s side having problems, with a little trick, naturally, that unconfident Dragon King could also have problems.
“Little girl, you seem very lost.”
Just as Ginko Sora arrived home, white feathers fell from the sky.
In a daze, a girl in a pure white dress appeared in front of Ginko Sora. Like her, she also had silver hair and was crossing space, walking towards her.
What the hell?
Have I been praying to gods too much lately? Why am I seeing an angel again?
If it were before, she would have thought she was dreaming.
But now that she had even met the God of Shogi, meeting an angel wasn’t that unacceptable.
Ginko Sora looked at the other party in a daze and asked puzzledly, “You… are an angel? An angel sent by the God of Shogi?”
“No, I don’t know any God of Shogi.” Raphi floated in front of Ginko Sora, “But, it’s true that you’ve been targeted by a devil.”
“Devil? Is he really a devil? Then why does he have such shogi skills?”
Luo Feng had already admitted that he was a devil before, but Ginko Sora wasn’t sure about either side.
Now that someone with a golden aura appeared, no matter how you looked at it, their aura was higher than Luo Feng’s and seemed more reliable.
“That’s not his shogi skill. His shogi ability is only at the level of knowing the rules. He just stole someone else’s talent, giving you this illusion.” A sacred light emanated from Raphi, “If you want to live a normal life, it’s best to stay away from that guy and never see him again. Ignore him. Devils follow their own rules. As long as you don’t go to him for a deal, he won’t do anything to you.”
If he really forced this girl, that would be a good thing. The more he did such things, the further he would be from the position of Lord because it would affect his evaluation as a devil. After all, the rule of devils was to make deals.
This was a rule they set themselves and shouldn’t violate… right?
As for Ginko Sora’s fate?
Raphi expressed that she would sincerely pray for and bless her.
“Then… can you give me my current talent?” Ginko Sora’s eyes lit up.
