Chapter 40
News of Mamami

Shogi? Shogi, a board game popular in Japan, is essentially similar to Chinese chess, although it is generally believed that Japanese shogi originated in Southeast Asia and has nothing to do with Chinese chess. After years of evolution, shogi has become the national game of Japan and is very popular among the Japanese.

Although shogi is quite popular among the Japanese people, it is after all a traditional game, so young people do not pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the little lolita, Sharl, as a foreigner, also likes to play Japanese shogi.

“I can, but Big Brother, I only know the rules of playing, I don't know how to play very well.” The original body, Kazuya, as a Japanese, also learned how to play shogi when he was a child.

...

Kazuya was playing shogi for the first time, but if he hadn't forgotten the rules, his current level could be considered an amateur hobbyist, after all, shogi and chess have something in common.

And even if little Sharl likes to play shogi, she wouldn't be too good, after all, she's still young, and girls are a little less talented in shogi than boys, the top shogi teachers are basically all men.

Sharl went back to her room to get the shogi set.

......

Five minutes later.

Kinoshita Kazuya sat opposite Sharl.

The golden-haired little angel was kneeling on the bench.

Her golden hair hung straight down to her waist, tied with two red ribbons, the golden little tuft of hair on her head and the two little ponytails tied together swayed cutely.

Her eyes were big, her pupils were sky blue, as blue as the afternoon sky, and there was a cute baby fat on her small face, making people want to pinch it unconsciously.

In short, she was a super cute lolita.

“My name is Sharl, I am six years old, I am in the first grade of elementary school, please take care of me.”

The little golden-haired lolita's voice had a special childishness to it, soft and fluffy like cotton candy.

“Kinoshita Kazuya, 20 years old, first year of university, please take care of me.”

Very formal, making Kazuya feel that little Sharl is likely to be a professional, with a dedicated shogi teacher to teach her the rules of shogi.

The match began, Sharl, who was holding the first move, quickly "啪" placed a piece, her bright and clear big eyes staring at the board, looking very cute.

Kinoshita Kazuya withdrew his gaze and followed with a move.

The little lolita was cute, but what could he do? Lolita cultivation plan of the Light Source System? Don't think too much, it would take too long to cultivate a six-year-old lolita to the point where she could be eaten, and she might not even meet his XP when she grows up, it would take too long, there would be too many variables, it wouldn't be worth it.

And they are just a meeting during this trip, after the meeting ends, the world is so big, the possibility of meeting again in the future is very low.

“啪.”

“啪啪.”

The wooden pieces landed on the table, making a crisp sound, the time difference was almost the same, the regular sound was quite pleasing to the ear.

The two of them moved their pieces quickly, Kazuya didn't take it seriously with the little lolita, and little Sharl didn't have the ability to think three steps ahead, this game was just practice.

Sharl didn't show any mercy, Kazuya encountered a predicament, a bad move he made earlier had brought a considerable disadvantage to the present.

“This, no, no.....”

The heart of victory is common to all, in the face of a disadvantageous situation, Kazuya earnestly sought a way out.

“Here.”

If Sharl didn't notice, Kazuya had prepared a reversal routine.

After Kazuya placed his piece, Sharl wanted to place her piece in the position she had already thought of, but she paused for a moment.

Looking at Kazuya's previous move, little Sharl fell into thought.

“It was wrong before, here, it's right.”

Sharl seemed to have seen through Kazuya's little trap and cracked it.

After that, Kazuya was in a state of chronic death, little Sharl's basic skills were very good, Kazuya, an amateur, couldn't find a new turning point.

“I lost.”

When Kazuya reached the last step, unable to turn the tide, he conceded defeat very frankly.

“呜~”

Little Sharl opened her eyes wide, the little tuft of hair on her head swayed to the right, happily.

“Sharl is very good, how long have you been learning shogi?”

Kazuya couldn't help but stroke her hair.

“I've been learning for 10 months, Big Brother is also very good, Sharl almost lost.”

Sharl's soft and sweet voice sounded, and for Kazuya's patting her head, she also rubbed comfortably against Kazuya's palm.

“Big Brother, do you want to play another game?”

Kazuya looked at the time and found that it was only twenty minutes, and he still had half the time left before his appointment with Minami Chizuru.

Okay, maybe two more games, alright?”

……

“Okay, Sharl, I'm going back to my room.” Kinoshita Kazuya got up: “You go find your family too, in case they're worried.”

“Okay, Big Brother, see you later.”

Little Sharl tidied up the shogi set in her hands, because it was a portable set, she just needed to put it in a bag, and Kazuya helped her.

Kazuya and little Sharl went into the elevator together.

“What floor do you live on, little Sharl?” Kazuya was going to help the little lolita press the elevator button.

“3rd floor.”

“I didn't expect Sharl to live next to us.”

Kazuya didn't expect that they were so fated.

......

After knocking on the door, Kazuya walked into the room.

Just as Nanao Mami sent a message: “Kazuya, where are you now?”

“Nashiki Resort in Gunma Prefecture (link), anything wrong?” Kazuya replied.

“Tokyo is so hot, I envy you being able to play in the mountains! (≥O≌)”

“Have you been here before?”

“Yes, with my family.”

Nanao Mami is truly a young lady, she must have been to all the famous attractions in Japan, if they were to go on a date in the future, it would be best to go to a unique and interesting place in Japan.

“Is there anything wrong? Mami-chan.”

Nanao Mami turned off her phone screen and looked at her reflection, smiling mischievously.

“I miss you, I haven't seen you for 22 hours, 13 minutes, and 26 seconds.

“(O_0)?”

Kinoshita Kazuya thought back, the last time he saw Mami was yesterday afternoon, what was the exact time?

“Just kidding, hahaha.”

“What do you mean???”

“Kazuya, were you scared just now? Thinking that I was scary, hehe.”

Then quickly came the next message.

“Nothing, just saw a news story about a male escort being kept by someone and then cheating, the woman was a yandere and stabbed him a few times. Then I thought I'd scare Kazuya now, after all, Kazuya now feels very easy to cheat on.”

Kazuya watched Minami Chizuru walk out of her room.

Cheating? Looking at her, who was extremely beautiful in her yukata.

Kazuya's heart unconsciously turned cold.
