Cherish the time

After deciding to go to Neptune, Shindo Hikaru, who had been troubled by many things, suddenly became enlightened.

He had always wanted to make up for his regrets and try his best to find his friends from his previous life, so he had a lot of worries in his heart, and he had to think for a long time before taking any action.

He originally wanted to follow in the footsteps of his previous life, enter the Hasase Examination Academy to play games and then become a professional chess player, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he realizes that this idea is so naive and absurd.

Regardless of whether these actions can achieve the result he wants in the end, it is only said that if he really continues like this...

So why did he come back to live this life again?

……

"...I knew...from the beginning...I should have let Zuowei play chess..."

"Anyone would say that! — Let Zuowei do it instead of letting me do it!"

"...Let him play every game, every game!"

"I'm not going down!"

"I'm never going to play chess by myself again! So..."

"God! I beg you!"

"Take me back to when I started!"

"Let me go back to the time when Zuo Wei and I first met!"

……

The call he made at the Chess Academy more than 40 years ago is still fresh in his memory.

He shouted and prayed from the bottom of his heart, and for the first time in his life, he was willing to gamble everything to believe in a so-called "god".

However, the gods did not appear.

Hikari Shinto, who was lying on the bed, turned over and looked at the profile of Sakai who was seriously studying the chess record under the light of the desk lamp.

...Human greed really knows no bounds...

He obviously got the chance to do it again, but he almost made the same mistakes again because of his greed...

A mess of thoughts ran through his mind, and finally fell asleep unbearably.

As soon as school was over the next afternoon, Shindo Hikari packed his schoolbag and ran to the Go club.

He was so busy on the road that he arrived too early. Miss Shihe smiled when he opened the paper door, panting, and waved to him, "Go in, Xiao Liang hasn't come yet."—— It already meant that he didn't want his money.

Shinto Hikari didn't react for a while, and was still groping in his pocket for money.

"Pfft... go in quickly, you don't need to pay money if you come to play with Xiaoliang." Shihe Mingmei couldn't help laughing, "Xiaoliang will arrive soon."

It was only then that Shinto Hikari understood, thanked him earnestly, and then walked to the seat where Taya Ryo usually sat.

"Xiao Guang, what do you want to tell Xiao Liang?" Zuo Wei stood next to the boy curiously, and asked with a bow.

Early this morning, Shindo Hikaru told him very solemnly that he had made a very important decision, but when asked about the details, he said that he would talk about it together when he went to Xiaoliang in the afternoon.

In fact, he didn't sell this pass very well, and if others heard it, they would probably just laugh it off.

But for Zuo Wei, there is only Xiaoguang in his world besides Go, so he pondered carefully for a day, and now he can't help but urge him.

"Well...it's nothing serious. 』Shinto Hikari fiddled with the chess pieces one after another, with a smug smile on his lips.

He originally just wanted to tease this beautiful guy on a whim, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, which made him worry about it all day.

Besides... after the long-awaited good news, it must be even sweeter, right?

"Good afternoon, you are so early."

Hearing the familiar voice, Shindo Hikaru quickly recovered from his thoughts, and smiled slightly, "Good afternoon! Actually, I just arrived."

"Father praised me this morning," Taya Ryo looked at Shinto with bright eyes, "I said that I have a better grasp of the overall direction of the chess game!"

Shinto Hikaru was a little surprised, he had never seen Taya Ryo so happy because of his father's approval, and he couldn't help feeling a subtle sense of fulfillment filled with regret, "That's really great!" He sincerely Said softly, "Uncle Taya is really looking forward to you with all his heart."

"En!" The green-haired boy nodded fiercely, his smile was as bright as sunlight outside the window, "Let's play chess!"

"Hmm...wait a minute," Shindo Hikaru paused for a moment, "I want...to tell you something first."

Hearing his words, Fujiwara Sawei moved closer with bright eyes, and waited for the blond boy's next words together with the serious Xiaoliang.

"I'm going to Neptune." Shinto Hikaru stared into Taya Ryo's eyes and said slowly word by word.

He saw the young man on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide as if suddenly realized, and then the joy in the corners of his eyes and mouth quickly accumulated, as if he couldn't vent the joy in his heart, so he could only show it in such an obvious way attitude is revealed.

On the other hand, Zuo Wei, after being stunned for a moment, shrugged his mouth—it's no wonder he had such a reaction, anyone who was tempted by something he already knew for a day would have a similar reaction of.

Without waiting for Ta Yaliang to say something, he continued, "Let's take the professional chess player exam."

As soon as this quiet sentence was uttered, it was not Taya Ryo and Fujiwara Sakai who responded first, but some middle-aged people who sat close to each other in the chess club—these adults who regarded Taya Ryo as a teacher We have long hoped that our little teacher can enter the professional chess world to practice and learn. I don’t know how many times I have proposed to him, but every time he is firmly avoided by the gentle green-haired boy. past.

This invitation from Shinto Hikaru happened to be in their arms.

So, I don't know who was the first to say "Okay!" All kinds of persuasion and congratulations followed.

"That's right! Little teacher! Become a professional chess player!"

"We all support you! Teacher Xiaoliang"

"Don't lose to Shindo Hikaru! Haha!"

"Let's go to the professional chess player!"

...

Hikari Shinto didn't expect that he could get so many echoes for his words, and he was at a loss for a while looking at the noisy chess club.

Ta Yaliang looked at the embarrassing blond boy facing him, a small hole seemed to be accidentally bitten in his heart, and a strange tingling sensation spread from his chest to his fingertips.

"Okay," he heard himself answer.
