Chapter 9! Hey hey hey! Who cares about him?!
She had waist-length red hair, and wore a very eye-catching star hair clip on her head.
Of course, what's even more eye-catching in such a place is that she's wearing a pair of large sunglasses.
Ever since Luo Chen noticed this person, her hands and mouth haven't stopped; she's been eating like crazy.
Luo Chen thought about it carefully, and a certain name popped into his mind.
Could this be Nakano Satsuki?
That's somewhat possible.
Not to mention that her figure and appearance are a perfect match, another point is that, regardless of whether she is the fifth princess of the Nakano family or the mysterious food critic M.A.Y, she has a chance of being invited to the Shinomiya family dinner tonight.
"Cough cough!"
A coughing sound came from the direction of the main stage.
Luo Chen tilted his head and looked over.
In the banquet hall, many dignitaries also looked over.
An elderly man dressed in a sallow bathrobe, with a stern face, stood in the most prominent position in the banquet hall. He held a microphone and spoke:
"Minna-san, first of all, thank you all for accepting the invitation to attend the Shinomiya family's housewarming party. I am Keita Shijou, I believe many of you are familiar with me, right?"
"Master Shijo!"
"He is the current head of the Shijo family."
"Haha, you're too kind, Head of the Shijou family! It's nothing!"
Many dignitaries raised their glasses of red wine.
Seeing this, Keita Shijo nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Actually, today's housewarming party is mainly about blah blah blah..."
Luo Chenguang saw Keita Shijo briefly introduce the "protagonist" Kaguya Shinomiya, and then he started talking on and on, speaking fluently and eloquently.
As for the seventh-dan shogi player, the sixth-dan shogi player, and the Kanto shogi god Ikuishi Mitsuru that Fujiwara Chika mentioned before, none of them were seen.
"boring."
Luo Chen didn't want to listen to an old man's incessant chatter, so he simply took a cocktail and went outside.
Unlike Luo Chen, the other dignitaries all chose to gather in the banquet hall to watch since it was Shijo Keita who was speaking.
The biggest impact of this is that the front and back yards of the Shinomiya family mansion are now empty!
It was unusually quiet.
Occasionally, one or two cricket chirps could be heard, but not many.
Luo Chen held his cocktail, savoring it with relish, while mentally calculating when it would be most appropriate for him to leave.
As Luo Chen made his way from the front yard into the back yard, he saw a young lady with long, flowing black hair.
He crossed his arms, placed them in front of his lower abdomen, faced the fence, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
She was as still as a virgin, with a cold demeanor.
Shinomiya Kaguya!
Luo Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting that Kaguya Shinomiya would also come out. It seemed that she was also too lazy to listen to Keita Shijou continue.
She probably disliked Keita Shijo's tactic of proudly mentioning his grandson every three sentences, praising him as "Emperor Shijo."
However, Kaguya Shinomiya is still the icy Kaguya, and not very approachable.
After a moment's thought, Luo Chen continued walking along the path without stopping, holding his cocktail.
Passing by!
Kaguya Shinomiya turned around and looked at him, then asked in confusion, "The young master of the local JS Research Institute?"
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. Now that he'd been caught, he couldn't continue acting like no one else was around. He turned back and smiled, "I never expected to be remembered by the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family. It's a great honor."
Kaguya Shinomiya stared intently and asked, "Why didn't we listen to Shijou-nii's thank-you speech in the banquet hall?"
Kaguya Shinomiya called Keita Shijo, this old man in his sixties or seventies, "Brother Shijo!" Luo Chen's lips twitched.
It's incredibly unbelievable, yet it's also incredibly real.
After all, Shijo Maki calls Shinomiya Kaguya her great-aunt, and Shijo Keita is Shijo Maki's grandfather. So, in a sense, Shinomiya Kaguya and Shijo Keita are actually peers!
Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose, then asked with a smile, "Is Miss interrogating me?"
"What if that's the case?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked with a cool expression.
Luo Chen shrugged and said seriously, "It doesn't matter. In Adachi Ward, no one can question the young master of JS Research Institute."
Kaguya Shinomiya's distinctive red eyes sharpened as she demanded, "You're incredibly arrogant! No one has ever dared to speak to a member of the Shinomiya family like that."
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Do you have it now?"
"puff!"
Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly burst out laughing, then quickly turned her head away to calm herself down.
Turning around again, she transformed back into the icy Kaguya, as if nothing had happened, her face expressionless and stern as she spoke:
"It's time to go back. After Shijou-nii finishes speaking, there will be a special thank-you event. Since the young master's family is so powerful, they will definitely be among those invited to go on stage."
Luo Chen nodded, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you so much for your concern, Miss. I am truly honored."
For a fleeting moment, Kaguya Shinomiya widened her eyes and stared intently at Luo Chen's back.
Hey! Hey hey hey! What is this person talking nonsense about?
Who cares about him?!
Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her fist, but her face remained expressionless as she and Luo Chen returned to the banquet hall one after the other.
The timing was just right.
At this moment, Keita Shijo was saying with a big smile, "Thank you Mr. Riku Hisadou, the councilor of Adachi Ward, Mr. Kazuma Tsuneo, Mr. Takuya, the young master of JS Research Institute in Adachi Ward, Mr. Yukinoshita, the councilor of Chiba Prefecture, and Mr. Shun Wada, the young master of JS Research Institute in Chiyoda Ward..."
Luo Chen responded, glanced at where the others were roughly standing, and then walked over as well.
"Hey! Young master of Adachi Ward, long time no see."
As soon as Luo Chen stood still, a voice that sounded like a half-smile rang out from beside him.
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and tilted his head.
Shun Wada!
This guy, like his family, is a veritable local tyrant in Chiyoda Ward.
"It has been quite a long time," Luo Chen nodded calmly.
"I remember you've been in charge of JS research for a while now, how about the next round?"
Shun Wada held a shogi piece between his index and middle fingers, a gesture that was clearly provocative.
Luo Chen ignored him and turned away without saying a word.
Wada Shun's smile froze. After a moment, he thought to himself, "You can hide now, but I don't believe you can hide forever. Just you wait and see!"
"It is a great honor! I also have a very important person in mind to attend my housewarming party today..."
"Mr. Mitsuru Ikuishi, one of the nine most brilliant players in the Japanese shogi world today, is hailed by countless people as the 'God of Kanto Shogi'!"
The moment Keita Shijo's imposing voice fell, the banquet hall was thrown into turmoil, with low gasps rising and falling.
"Is it that sir?"
"Ikumitsu-sama?!"
"The Melody Killer of Golden Time!"
"Hiss!! As expected of the head of the Shijo family, he even managed to invite someone like this..."
"The legendary 9A player!"
"...".
Chapter 10 Chiyoda, why don't you just live a good life?
The status of professional shogi players in Japan goes without saying; they are only accessible to the true upper class.
And figures like Mitsuru Ikushi stand at the very top of the pyramid of professional shogi players.
This means that it's no longer something that only the powerful and wealthy can access; even if you have money, you might not be able to hire them!
This is why many guests present were shocked and amazed that Shijo Keita was able to invite Ikuishi Mitsuru, and once again marveled at the profound heritage of the current head of the Shijo family.
This is just a branch of the Shinomiya Group. If it were the real head of the family, their power level would be even more terrifying.
"Everyone."
Amidst countless murmurs, a middle-aged man, probably in his forties, with a dark complexion and a somewhat robust physique, emerged.
He was wearing a well-fitting black bathrobe.
From the outside, he should be a very ordinary person, but in fact, he is anything but ordinary!
