[bright] time

(Watani side)

Just like ordinary companies, Nippon Kiin holds a year-end party at the end of each year to thank the players for their hard work over the past year, and this year is no exception.

In view of the strong support of Ogata celebrities and Kurata Tengen at last year's year-end party, singing and dancing (although they refused to admit it afterwards, and abused their power to destroy all evidence...) the whole venue was full of laughter .

Therefore, the staff of the Qiyuan office decided to arrange this year's year-end party venue to be held in this restaurant that can provide karaoke equipment and a stage.Nearly 100 people participated, and it was very lively.

Standing on the stage now is Yiliu Jiuduan singing, and what is being performed is his seventh personal enge today...  

And the next Zama Kudan, who is going to be on stage, plans to sing today's tenth song, of course it is also enka...

Regardless of the content of the song, it is actually quite interesting to watch the Ojissans who usually don't sing at all grab the microphone and get blushing and thick necked.Last year's Kazuya would have laughed and photographed key evidence, but this year...

"Oh! It's the [-]th one! It's weird, I didn't expect Yanagisawa's fifth dan to like Nase."

It was Guang who was talking, and he was ignoring Hegu's unhappy face, and he was broadcasting the situation at the next table in a very cocky way.

"Oh, that's right." He Gu, who was in a bad mood, drank the oolong tea in his cup in one gulp.Contrary to the calm tone, the right foot hidden under the table was shaking impatiently.

"Oh my god, it's the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th!! This time it's the three elders of the Nihon Ki-in Academy with an average age of [-]. I can't tell that Nase is so popular, and her popularity covers all age groups! It's no wonder, three She is the only qualified female chess player in the past year. Besides, she is super good-looking and has no boyfriend. Which chess player who lives a boring life would not want to go and strike up a conversation. Opportunities are equal for everyone. Oh?" ​​Guang asked He Gu.

"...." Twitching temples, distorted expression.

Seeing that He Gu was about to be aroused, Guang put He Gu's shoulders, took advantage of the victory and continued to say,

"A few days ago, Mr. Menkai asked me for Nase's phone number. It seems that he is about to launch an offensive. Today, he drove the car he just bought recently. After the end, he wants to send Nase back? I said Kazuya, There will only be more and more people like this in the future, how long will you wait and see?"

"You don't understand." He Gu picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the fried eggplant on the table, and stuffed it viciously into his mouth.

We've known each other since we were students of Nase.At that time, I just thought that this girl was very cheerful, straightforward and easy to get along with, so we became friends naturally.Maybe it's close?We are often asked what our relationship is.

"What does it matter? Hegu is younger than me!"

"Nothing! I don't like old women."

These are two sentences we often say at that time.In short, I don't have any thoughts other than friends.

Later, I was admitted as a chess player, but Nase failed.So we had fewer chances to meet each other, and we became less in touch.By chance, when I went back to participate in the research meeting of the students, I met Nase and chatted with her.Knowing that she plans to give herself one last chance and try her best to take the entrance exam.If it still doesn't work, she can only give up this dream as her mother said, and go back to the university.

At that time, I suddenly became anxious.I really want to help her through this difficult time.

I know, she really likes playing chess.There must have been a lot of pressure to make this decision.

So I invited her to Atami for a training camp and invited her to my seminar.

This year she finally passed the exam as a chess player.I'm really happy and feel very at ease.

"Go! Why worry about being younger than her! If you fall in love, you will fall in love, and talk about the shame of sibling love. Yes~, when she was a college student, she was taller than you and looked more mature than you, But it’s different now! If you want to chase, go after it, for fear of failure.”

It seems that this is how Shinto felt after dating his ex-girlfriend who was two years older than her.

Ah, but he was also a failure.When we broke up, I was slapped in the face, which is super ugly.Is it appropriate to believe the words of this dog-headed military division?

"Don't think about it! Go for me!" Hikaru patted He Gu on the back forcefully.

"Cough cough──, can you be gentler!" He Gu patted his chest to smooth his breath, and glared at Ah Guang.

"Will you wake up if you don't try harder? In my opinion, it's not that Nase doesn't mean anything to you."

"You think so!?" He Gu's eyes lit up.

"So happy to do? Just 'feeling'! It's up to you to prove it yourself."

"go!"

"Fuck me? You really don't know how to be grateful! Let me tell you, I met Nase when I went to the bathroom just now.

I told her that you have something to tell her after the year-end party is over.You can figure it out. "

"Huh? Why are you moving so fast?"

"Hey, if you succeed, you will be invited to buy the tonkotsu ramen from Wanfu Daddy; if you fail..."

"What if you fail? Can you lend me your shoulder?" I will cry a lot...

"Are you able to rely on my shoulders? Beer is enough, isn't it?"

Hikaru deliberately lowered his voice and said the word "beer".The people in the venue are all old and stubborn, and they know that they drink alcohol when they are underage.

"'One-handed' is what you said! Well, let's try to see Luo."

"That's right! Then I'll go over to Taya."

"No way? Are you planning to go deep into the first-level security zone?" He Gu raised his eyebrows.

The so-called first-level warning area is the desk where Mr. Ariogata is.Ogata-sensei is a famous Japanese chess academy who is not drunk for a thousand cups, but once he gets drunk, he will become a troublesome person who surpasses "Lu".

Sometimes I think, is this guy Shinto worried about Taya too much?When I was talking to me just now, my eyes kept wandering in that direction.Pay attention to when Ogata-sensei will cross the line of "drunkness" and start to make problems for those around him.Mr. Kurata should have been another person who needed attention. Fortunately, he was not present today. I heard that he had a bad stomach and was receiving an IV in the hospital.Otherwise, if these two people get drunk together, no one around them will suffer.

"Isn't it okay that Kurata-san isn't here today?"

He Gu shrugged,

"Who knows? You have to go quickly, it seems that something is wrong."

The atmosphere at that table is a bit weird now, Mr. Ogata is gesticulating and doesn't know what to say, and Brother Yamu and Brother Ashihara are laughing from ear to ear.And Taya held the glass with both hands, and sat quietly by the side without saying a word.

Of course I couldn't read what the guy was looking on right now.But this heavy silence can be felt by anyone with eyes.Weird enough.Maybe it's time for Shinto to go now?

"Watani, you haven't been so hostile to Taya lately! I don't know why, but it's great."

"Hmph, I don't know who it is? I dragged him when we were eating with Machi, and I also dragged him when I came to my seminar. I never cared about my feelings! I always put on a bad face and sulk like that, I Eat and hold on!"

"Hey, people need to communicate more to get rid of prejudice and get to know each other. Let's get out of here!"

Hikaru patted Kazuya on the shoulder with a smile, and walked towards the table where Ogata, Awara, Yaki and others were sitting.

***

As Shinto said, I don't hate Taya that much anymore.

But that doesn't mean we're friends anymore.To me, he's just a friend of a friend.

I'm not so generous, so generous that I think that Maji's friends are my friends, especially Ta Yaliang, who I completely excluded from the friendship list.

Then why did it become like this?

There will be such a peaceful day, I am more surprised than Shinto.

A month ago, in the chess academy.On the day I entered Fuji, there was no match.

"Why is Ryo Taya ignoring people? I greeted him kindly!" Someone of my age asked me suddenly. I thought he might have misunderstood something.Ta Yaliang is very close to Teng, but it doesn't mean that I know him very well. How can I know what he is thinking?

"What are you doing to provoke him? That guy is from a different world." I always thought so, everyone in the Chess Academy knows it, right?

"Yeah, geniuses look down on us."

This kind of whining has occurred in my head more than once, but this is the first time it has been heard from someone else's mouth.Only then did I realize that such words were actually harsh and had language problems.

"Listen clearly. First, what are we people? Am I familiar with you? Don't make casual acquaintances. Second, you will feel that you are looked down upon by Ta Yaliang, and it's just a sense of inferiority. In my opinion, he I don't look down on anyone, but I can't see it. Third, it has nothing to do with being a genius or not. What makes him annoying is his attitude. Your whining will only make you look like a defeated wild dog It's roaring. It doesn't do any damage at all."

Looking at the face of the other party who is gradually becoming angry from embarrassment, I added another sentence:

"Hey, don't be angry! I said this to myself, and I thought so before the dinosaur-nervous Shinto Hikari caused me so much trouble. I'm a person who doesn't reflect at all, and once I reflect on it, I won't Will give myself any leeway. Terrible habit. Never mind! Go ahead!"

It doesn't look like it, but I'm actually a pacifist, so don't talk about unnecessary quarrels.

I walked around the corner to the hall. There were a few chairs in the hall, and the person in question was sitting there.Go, why is it that when I speak ill of him, he always happens to be nearby!

Who cares, it doesn't matter if he heard it or not, we're not right anyway!

Just as I was about to walk over,

"I never feel that my Go talent is higher than others. The real genius is not me, and Mr. Gu should be very clear."

The troubles that Hikari Shinto of Dinosaur Neuros has caused me are two tasteless meals with Taya Ryo and three seminars where the nerves are too tense.But neither of us spoke.This is the first time.

"I started learning chess at the age of [-], entered the chess academy as a student at the age of [-], and was admitted as a professional chess player in less than a year. At the age of [-], I fought vigorously with Gao Yongxia of South Korea in a chess game that was only half the game. Sai. To really define, this kind of person is a monster, not a genius. As for you, before you say something that flatters you, please think about those of us who are trampled under your feet."

"I don't like people twisting what I say into bad things without authorization."

Black and white pupils, sharp eyes.No matter what Shinto Hikaru said, I just think Taya Ryo with such an expression is scary.If I continue to stare at him like this, I will have a nervous breakdown.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to feel sorry for you at all in what I said just now. On the contrary, I was still praising you. If you don't understand, ask Shinto! I can't communicate with you."

This concludes our conversation.

The next day, Shindo came over to me and asked,

"Is monster a term of praise for people? Yesterday Taya suddenly asked me this. Shouldn't it be? You always use this to scold me, right?"

Yes, you who can communicate with him are really a monster.

Tsk, I didn't expect Ryo Taya to actually ask Shinto.And the direction of the question is also completely strange.

Maybe what Shinto said was right, I thought too highly of him.But that's only in front of him, I can't imagine Ryo Taya's expression when he asked me "Is monster a compliment for people?"!

After going to Atami last year, Shinto and Taya got closer.In the past, I often heard that they played chess together, reviewed, and went to Serizawa-sensei's research meeting, but they were all exchanges related to Go, just the feeling of the opponent.But now, anyone would feel that they are friends, very good friends, but at the same time they are also rivals that no one can replace.

Just like a person's left and right feet, when the left foot takes a step forward, the right foot will follow up and then take a step ahead. By chasing each other, the person will move forward.Their chess skills are constantly evolving and improving under such healthy competition.If you only have one leg, it will be very hard to walk.

Young chess players who grew up in the same era as them, and belonged to the same ten generations, would be lying if they said there was no pressure at all, but the other side of pressure is self-motivation.This is a road that I will spend my whole life walking.I just go at my own pace.It is not terrible to fall behind, what is terrible is to stagnate at this point.Get out of the slump, I tell myself.

"He Gu, what kind of special medicine did you take? You seem to be a different person, and you are much more active in playing chess!" This is Yijiao's impression after playing chess with me recently.

The human brain is really amazing. When you think about all the entanglements, the whole person will be like a newborn, and your thinking will become very clear.

***

Soon, Yijiao, reeking of alcohol, walked to the table where He Gu was at with uneven steps.Known for his poor drinking capacity, he was dragged away by the group of Ojisangs who were sharpening their knives not long after the banquet started to take good care of him.Now he finally got out of the clutches of the Ojissans and returned to his seat.

As a matter of course, Maji, who is Yijiao, poured a cup of oolong tea for him to hangover.Bugui didn't let Yijiao go so easily, and hurt him a few words:

"I told you earlier, the capacity for alcohol comes from practice! Then what's the benefit of insisting that underage people can't drink alcohol? It's so ugly now! I'm sorry."

The drunken Yijiao said to the empty seat in front of him, speaking with his tongue out:

"Abiding...law-abiding...what...wrong? Oh? Taya!"

"Taya is not here, he was taken away by Brother Awara."

"Ah? Is that so? But──like you...starting drinking at the age of seventeen, isn't it bad, Shindo!" Ikuno said to the empty seat diagonally in front of him.

"How much alcohol is in carbonated wine! Appropriate amount of alcohol helps blood circulation. Besides, Shinto isn't sitting there anymore! Who are you talking to! Ikaku, you're really too drunk!"

"Sau? Where's Shindo?" Yijiao rested his elbow on Kazuya's shoulder and pointed to the spot of light.

"Go to Taya. Stay away──, you stink to death!" Pushing Yijiao away, so that his head hit the table with a "knock".I saw him smiling, it didn't hurt at all.Just like that, he fell asleep on the table.

He Gu happened to be having a good time, thinking about what he should say to Nase later.

suddenly,

The sound of tapping the microphone came from the stage,

Nearly a hundred enka-style brainwashing has made everyone focus on the wine glasses in their hands, and no one is listening to the performance on the stage.But this abrupt voice drew everyone's attention back.

The maker of the sound is Mr. Ogata, and he has already crossed the line of "drunkness".Ignoring the obstructions of Brother Awara and Brother Yamu, he stood on the stage and snatched the microphone from Mr. Zama, and acted as the host of the banquet.

The end of each sentence is still mixed with the smell of alcohol, and the words rise inexplicably:

"Everyone~! I believe that everyone is already like me~, they are almost drunk~!"

"Not drunk! We are not drunk~!" Nearly a hundred drunks in the audience said the lines that every drunk must say,

"Now~, in order to relieve everyone from the hangover~, please shine in the Hokuto Cup this year~, one of the double arrows among the young chess players of Nihon Ki-in~,

Come sing a different song for everyone~!Okay~? "

When they heard that someone wanted to sing a different song, no one did not applaud.

And I suddenly had an ominous premonition.Is it Shinto?Or Taya?Not Shinto!If it were him, I would have an [-]% chance of being dragged into the water!God please!Don't be him! ! ! !

"Speaking of this person's singing voice~,

But it has melted the ice that has been frozen for nearly 43 years~!

Until now, my teacher who is far away overseas~, whenever I think of his cute and pitiful appearance when he sang "The Lost Little Black Cat" in kindergarten~, I still can't help but soften the corners of my mouth , laugh out miles ~!

Such a lovely song, do you want to listen to it~? "

As soon as Mr. Ogata introduced it here, only those who were seven percent drunk could guess who the person who was entangled this year was, and that person was definitely not the kind of person who would stand on this stage and sing.In order to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble, these people kept silent;

As for those who are nine-point drunk, let alone guess who will be singing later, they can't even figure out who is speaking on the stage now, but with the atmosphere heated up by the "host", it is only natural Shouted "Yeah!"

Unfortunately, more than [-]% of the venue belonged to the latter.

For me, as long as it's not Shinto!

Although Taya, who is sitting next to him now, has a face darker than charcoal, lips whiter than white paper, and the glass tightly held in his hand was almost crushed by him with a "pop",

"I will not sing to death!" This strong electric wave emanated from his body, trying to reach the heads of everyone in the venue, but unfortunately, at this moment, only [-]% of the human beings are left in the venue, and the other [-]% are transformed into Ghost -- drunk, the voice of "thinking" almost lifted the entire roof.

The enthusiastic response from the audience incited Mr. Ogata, making him even more high,

"Hahaha~! Good~! Don't talk nonsense~ We will invite you right away──────」

At this time, like the death knell of hell, I heard someone's voice..., like a ghost hand reaching out from hell to the human world, I saw someone's hand...,

"I!!!!"

This goddamn Hikari Shinto! ! ! !You'd better make sure you won't drag me down this time! ! ! !

"I'm the one the teacher said! I'll sing!!!" Shindo jumped onto the stage and grabbed the microphone from Ogata-sensei.

"Shinto~, don't mess around~! What I want to hear is ㄊ(t)──" Ogata-sensei snatched back the microphone in Shinto's hand,

"ㄊ(t)... Fuji! Shinto! It's me!" Shinto pointed at his face, and forced to change Taya's name into his own.

"No~~! I'm talking about shining in the Hokuto Cup~"

"I have!" That's right.

"One of the double arrows in the Nihon Kiin Junior Chess Player~"

"I'm one of them, right?" That's right.

"Singing was cute when I was young~"

"I'm cute even when I'm young!" That's too cheeky, Hikari Shindo!

Ogata snorted coldly: "...a child with a pie face is not cute at all~"

"(The one who went to X actually attacked me personally!!)...I'm skinny now!! Let me sing!!!"

You can say the previous sentence a little louder, Hikari Shindo!If Mr. Ogata hadn't been deaf when he was drunk, I guarantee that you will be dead immediately, and you won't even have to bow when you step off the stage! ! !

"Hehe, you said you wanted to sing! I didn't force you!"

A cold smile hangs on Ogata's face, the end of his words no longer rises, and the smell of alcohol just now is swept away in an instant──.Alas~

You have been put together..., Shinto.

I find it strange that no matter how daring Mr. Ogata is, he probably isn't so bold as to take his own teacher's son, Ryo Taya, right?So it's all a trap... You've been seen through, Shinto!

Standing on the stage, Shindo's hand holding the microphone was trembling with displeasure, it seemed that he also knew that he had been fooled.But it's too late, so be sorry.

"Since I voluntarily sang, can I choose my own song? Ogata-sensei."

"It's up to you! As long as you can relieve everyone's wine at the scene. You can sing whatever you want!" Ogata Mingren lit a cigarette, sat on a chair, and puffed away leisurely.

This guy Shindo, is there any difference in singing?Anyway, it's an unchanging fact that you were tricked into singing on stage, the outcome has already been decided!I will drink oolong tea in the audience and cheer for you in my heart!

Say it's too late, then it's fast,

I suddenly saw a flash of trickery in Shinto's eyes... so what! ?

With a determined expression on his face, he turned his head and glanced at the staff who were operating the karaoke machine next to the stage,

tell him:

"A song by ㄞ(ai). LinkinPark's Faint. Please."

A sip of oolong tea that flowed down my throat just spewed out of my mouth──,

Isn't this... Shinto's latest super idol, the star group in the hard rock world──The fainting of Union Park!

Are you going to let all the Ogissans here go to the Western Paradise in one fell swoop?

Even if they can accept the rap like chanting, they will definitely not be able to accept the noisy chorus,

Even if these two parts survived,

I can't stand the "dinosaur roar" from [-] minute [-] seconds to [-] minutes [-] seconds!

Is it just fainting?It will definitely die!

I'd better call [-] and call some ambulances and wait outside.

"Oh! Kazuya-kun sitting at the third table! The reaction is so big! I must know what song my good brother Shinto is going to sing now? Let's sing together!"

Ogata-sensei suddenly called my name, which makes me feel like dying...,

Why did you have such a big reaction just now?The best policy is to keep a low profile now...I am an idiot!

"Yes──." With heavy steps, I stepped onto the stage where Shinto was.Full of resentment.

This is definitely revenge... Ogata-sensei must have found out that I took the photo of the year-end party last year!It must be so! !

"What kind of tea are you spraying? It's enough for me to suffer alone, why are you here?"

"You think I want to? I'm fine if you don't faint! What cute song!"

"Teacher Ogata said to be sad! Of course, he was so 'terrible' that he was 'sorrowful' everywhere."

"There is a problem with your Japanese! There is definitely a problem!"

And, at this moment!Yijiao, who was drunk on the table, woke up at this moment──,

"LinkinPark's fainting! I'll sing! I'll sing!"

Ah, I forgot.

Yijiao, who always disliked this kind of music for being too loud, was finally infected by Shindo and me, and fell in love with them madly.As soon as I got to the KTV, even if I didn't order Faint after I followed the vine, he would order it by himself.

Yijiao's appearance as a new good man actually brought him a lot of trouble.Ojisang chess players are always scrambling to send him pictures of their daughters, and even invite him to dinner at home.This brought him a lot of pressure, all vented on that dinosaur-like roar.

I'm usually this high without drinking, so I should be so high today, right?In my opinion, there is no need to call an ambulance. It may be faster to call the funeral home directly.

"Let something happen to Yijiao's concert today! I think it's better to knock him unconscious." For the sake of the life of those who beat Jisang,

"No need, the three of us are just strong enough to sing this song. And after today's singing, Yijiao should no longer have the troubles of blind dates that can't be pushed away. It's exactly what he wants."

"Are you saying that they all ran away?" I felt a little dizzy. If I did so thoroughly, if Yijiao couldn't find a wife in the future, would he hate us?

"Hey~." Shindo just smiled.

I began to suspect that Shinto might not only have learned Go from Mr. Kuwahara, but also learned a lot about strategies.

Ojissans, rest in peace~.If you want to complain, go complain to Teacher Ogata who told us to sing, and Hikari Shindo who ordered this song.

that's it,

As soon as the prelude started, the three of us went out as if we had come to KTVBOX.

We were not idle when we didn't have to sing. We each plucked the air guitar, played the air electronic organ, and beat the air drum, just like in KTVBOX, immersed in the world of United Park.

Mike's rap is read by Shindo, and Izuku and I are in charge of Chester's chorus,

The most explosive part is sung by three people together,──

No

Hear me out now

You're gonna listen ome, like itor not

right now

Hear me out now

You're gonna listen ome, like itor not

right now

I can't feel the way Idid before

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored

This year's year-end party was forcibly terminated amidst the terrible singing of the three of us.I believe that the Ojissans will never hold on to Yijiao again, and no one will ask me or Jinto to sing on stage again.congratulations!

Chinese lyrics:
