Why would he come to the Shogi League if there's nothing wrong with him?
Fortunately, it seemed that Kaguya Shinomiya didn't primarily want to ask this question. Before Luo Chen could answer, she spoke up:
"The school is holding the student council election meeting the day after tomorrow, which is Friday. I hope you can help me."
Luo Chen asked with great interest, "How can I help?"
"I want to be the president!"
Kaguya Shinomiya spoke frankly and assigned tasks, saying, "Luo Chen, you just need to help me promote Shuchi Academy as much as possible, distribute flyers and small gifts, and gather some public opinion."
"Here is 1000 million yen. Luo Chen can use this money to do these things. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more."
Luo Chen smiled slightly and accepted the gift without refusing, saying, "Okay."
A hint of satisfaction seemed to appear on Kaguya Shinomiya's icy, pretty face. She nodded slightly, turned, and left.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with her?"
"Ichiro Kuzuryu asked curiously."
"I guess they want to recruit me as a retainer of the Shinomiya family, and now they're probably testing me?" Luo Chen said, suppressing a laugh.
The nine-headed dragon Yaichi opened his eyes wide.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, he didn't believe for a second that Luo Chen would willingly be subservient to someone else.
However, Luo Chen's current behavior is truly perplexing.
Kuzuryuu scratched his head, then decided it was a private matter and didn't dare ask any more questions.
"Hi~! Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm back."
Not far away, a beautiful figure hurriedly ran over.
"Let's go."
Luo Chen recognized the person as Manji, the servant of the Imperial Kitchen, and smiled and gestured with his chin at the dazed Kuzuryu Yaichi.
……
...
"Young Miss, are you testing Luo Chenjun's abilities?"
On the path leading to the VIP passage of the Shogi League, the perfectly dressed "genius butler" next to Kaguya Shinomiya asked.
"Yes."
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly and said, "Since we intend to take him as a trusted retainer, we should naturally explore all his abilities and make full use of them."
The brilliant butler said, "But Miss, don't you think all of this seems a little too simple?"
"Have it?"
Kaguya Shinomiya disagreed.
After all, behind her stood the entire Shinomiya family, one of the three major conglomerates in Japan—an ultimate behemoth.
Anyone would be excited to be recruited by such a company.
The genius butler pursed his lips, about to speak.
Just to clarify, the JS Research Institute in Adachi Ward is a bit different from other places. Besides being the head of the JS Research Institute, the person in charge is also the local tyrant of the entire Adachi Ward...
Furthermore, aside from this point, any professional Go player of the eighth dan or above is a highly respected individual. Such individuals have extremely high aspirations and would never submit to a subordinate position. Even the head of a family does not have this ability.
All of this information was gathered by Hayasaka Ai overnight when she discovered in chapter 477 that Shinomiya Kaguya had recruited Rakuten as a confidant.
Even Luo Chen's strength was roughly determined by gathering information through various channels.
That day's 32-move front-board blockade could only be broken by players of 8 dan or higher, which means that guy was at least at the ceiling level of a professional 7 dan.
Given his young age, it's highly likely that he will become an eighth-dan, or even a professional ninth-dan, in the future!
To be frank, she felt that Kaguya Shinomiya was probably dreaming, indulging in some fanciful ideas, but she really hadn't figured out how to put these things into words with Kaguya Shinomiya.
"Great-aunt?"
The crisp greeting made Hayasaka Ai swallow all the words she wanted to say and revert to her genius butler persona.
A captivating chill appeared on Kaguya Shinomiya's icy expression as she said with a half-smile, "Maki-kun, we're about the same age, so you can just call me 'older sister'."
Whether she was genuinely naive or feigning ignorance, Shijo Maki innocently said, "But Grandpa and Great-Aunt are of the same generation, how can I call them 'older sister'?"
Kaguya Shinomiya turned and left without a word.
The purpose of coming here is to pick up Shijo Maki, because her father, Shinomiya Kanetsugu, and her elder brother, Shinomiya Komitsu, have come over tonight.
At the same time, they also invited Shijo Maki, the granddaughter of the branch family who lives in Adachi Ward but does not reside in the luxurious mansion of the Shinomiya family, to attend the family banquet!
Chapter 73 Warm and Happy - The Taste of Happiness
"Arigato, arigato~"
"It's very comfortable here, thank you for your hard work."
Back at the JS Research Institute, after being taken to temporary accommodation, Kuzuryu Yaichi expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then. I'm really sorry, there's no room in the backyard~" Luo Chen explained.
"This is really good enough, senior brother." Yaichi Kuzuryu once again expressed his satisfaction and lack of pickiness.
Luo Chen let him have his way.
Anyway, there's nowhere to go to the backyard now.
The new room is still under construction and is expected to be completed tomorrow. But after that, it will need to be decorated.
It will probably be at least a month before I can move in.
Where's Misaki?
Luo Chen was accompanied by Murasame-sensei, who was working overtime, and couldn't help but ask a question.
“Oh, that child arrived at five o’clock and is currently doing the accounting,” Ms. Murasame explained.
"Does she even understand how to do the math?" Luo Chen asked curiously.
A smile appeared on Ms. Murasame's face as she said with great appreciation, "Misaki has an exceptional talent for accounting."
Luo Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Training Misaki Ayuzawa into a qualified and mature housekeeper, proficient in handling various tasks, is now Mr. Murasame's job.
“Young Master, have you forgotten something?” said Teacher Murasame.
"Ok?"
"Miss Ai..."
"hiss!!"
Luo Chen suddenly patted his forehead lightly.
Damn it, I'd completely forgotten about that.
"I'll call and ask right now."
After Luo Chen finished speaking with Ms. Murasame, he went back to the backyard, sat on the sofa, and called Hinatsuru Akina.
The phone rang five times before it was answered.
"Moxi, Moxi."
It's clear that Hinatsuru Akina's voice is quite calm and composed, giving her a very authoritative presence.
Luo Chen thought to himself, "This is how Hinatsuru Akina behaved on the first day we met."
As for that later incident, after eating Momoko Akane's dessert, the lady seemed to have a bit of a breakdown in her image.
“Lady Hinatsuru, it’s me.” Luo Chen said.
"Master~!!"
On the other end of the phone, a familiar, excited little voice rang out.
Luo Chen recognized it immediately.
Ai Hina Tsuru is right there too.
"Love."
A low, authoritative shout came from Hina Tsurugi, and the childish voice immediately disappeared.
Luo Chen was both amused and exasperated.
Hinatsuru Akina then spoke, seemingly with a faint smile, feigning ignorance: "Is there something you need for the young master's call?"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes and asked directly, "Mrs. Chuhe, have you been very busy these past few days? If you keep missing classes, it will really affect your learning progress."
Hinatsuru Akina said softly, "I'm really sorry, it's my fault, but things have been quite busy at home lately."
Luo Chen was starting to not understand.
What did he do to offend Hinatsuru Akina, or did this lady change her mind and go back on her previous decision?
