All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 36: The Loli Appears!

(trans: I'm not sure about the accuracy of this chapter)

"Click," "click," "click."

The sound of the chess pieces being placed echoed continuously.

On the shogi board, the battle was unfolding fiercely.

Yamato Kajin's earlier words were not just psychological tactics. He had truly studied Yukima Azuma's furi-bisha along with Meijin.

No, it would be more accurate to say that they had studied all of Yukima Azuma's moves.

From the potential moves, the sequence of moves, to the player's signature strategies.

Although Yamato Kajin did not understand why Meijin was particularly interested in Yukima Azuma, a genius who had just returned after a long absence,

With Meijin involved in the study,

The ability to break down the game had reached a terrifying level.

Today, Yukima Azuma brought a sharp killing intent like a storm.

His furi-bisha moves were rarely seen, even extremely extreme.

It was as if he was ready to abandon everything just to press forward with the attack.

If it were anyone else, they might have been caught off guard and unable to respond in time.

But...

"Such a pity, this sequence of moves, Meijin and I have studied it thoroughly."

"And in that study, we've come to a conclusion."

"I-bisha is guaranteed to win."

Yamato Kajin said, simultaneously placing a piece on the board.

This move not only neutralized Yukima Azuma's attack but also created a subtle pressure on his sharp rook, which was like a sword.

After placing the piece, Yamato Kajin lifted his head to look at Yukima Azuma.

Yamato Kajin wanted to observe any changes on Yukima Azuma's face.

However, Yukima Azuma's expression remained completely unchanged.

In fact, he even...

"You talk too much. You'd be better off focusing on the game," Yukima Azuma said, his face clearly showing impatience. "Talking too much will just make you lose faster."

Yamato Kajin froze, then lightly chuckled to himself.

Even when cornered like this, Yukima Azuma still had such a sharp tongue.

.....

In the adjacent waiting room.

The central TV in the room was broadcasting the match live.

Shogi matches were broadcast with move-by-move analysis to help viewers understand more easily.

Even though the audience might have basic knowledge of shogi, keeping up with the level of professional players was still no easy task.

In addition to the move analysis, there was a real-time win/loss probability chart, calculated by a computer.

Currently, Yukima Azuma's win probability is only 27%.

Sora Ginko sat in the waiting room, her hands clenched into tight fists, the knuckles turning white from the pressure.

If he loses this game, will he suffer a huge shock?

Will he collapse?

The worry was clearly visible on Sora Ginko's face.

"It seems tough now, after all, he's up against an 8-dan."

"Don't say that. The strength of that 'monster' can't be judged by the statistics alone. It's just that Yamato Kajin has Meijin backing him up, it's not fair!"

Sigh, "Only a monster can beat a monster. With Meijin's research, Yukima 5-dan is probably powerless against it."

The professional players around were discussing non-stop.

Sora Ginko wanted to loudly refute their words.

But she couldn't see any possibility of Yukima Azuma winning.

Even though she was a female player with two major titles,

Even though Sora Ginko was exceptionally talented,

Right now, she was just a Reiwaikai Ni-dan (Second Dan in the Prize Association).

Her vision wasn't wide enough to see through the game.

She even lagged behind some of the professional players present here.

She didn't know how to argue back.

"No way!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the room.

The professional players, who had been discussing, were all stunned.

Unconsciously, they turned towards the source of the voice.

They saw a little girl with brown hair.

She looked about nine years old, clearly still in elementary school.

She wore a light white long dress and a beret, her style was incredibly cute.

What caught everyone's attention most were her eyes.

The pale blue background was dotted with faint purple light, shimmering like the dawn.

"No way! There's still a way to turn this around!"

The little girl shouted, her voice full of determination.

"Who is that girl?"

"Ah... I think she's the daughter of the innkeeper."

"Could she be a child studying shogi too?"

"Maybe, but I've never heard of her."

The professional players recognized the girl.

She was the daughter of the family that owned the inn, the main sponsor for this tournament.

However, their opinions about a young elementary student who had never been known in the shogi world were hard to take seriously.

After all, turning the game around at this point...

At this point, the game had nearly reached a deadlock.

Yukima Azuma's win probability was down to just 7%.

Typically, when the win rate drops below a certain number, both players start preparing for the endgame.

They begin to rearrange the board neatly before conceding.

Sora Ginko watched the little girl for a while, and then her gaze returned to the board.

She began to search for any possible moves, looking for a way out.

Her gray-blue eyes seemed to activate, turning a sharp icy blue.

In her intense focus on reading the position, suddenly, Sora Ginko's pupils shrank.

...

On the board,

Yamato Kajin had placed his Knight, nearly capturing Yukima Azuma's Rook.

The essence of "Furibisha - Flying Rook" lies in the movement of the Rook. Once the Rook is trapped, it almost guarantees the opponent's loss.

'So this is how it ends.'

Yamato Kajin thought to himself.

Although Meijin had paid special attention to Yukima Azuma, which made him more cautious, the outcome seemed unchanged.

At most, there would be a bit of resistance...

As he thought this, Yamato Kajin saw Yukima Azuma place a piece on the board.

It was the Rook.

The Rook was placed within the range of the Knight's attack.

"What's this? Are you giving up? If that's the case, you might as well just resign; at least it would make the game look a bit better," Yamato Kajin couldn't help but say.

He looked up at Yukima Azuma.

But Yukima Azuma's expression remained as cold and impatient as ever.

"If you have time to advise others, why not focus more on the game?"

"I've told you, constantly talking will only make you lose faster!"

Hearing this, Yamato Kajin furrowed his brows.

What exactly is this guy saying?

Instinctively, after capturing Yukima Azuma's Rook, Yamato Kajin took another glance at the board.

With a quick glance, sweat started to bead on his forehead and run down his spine.

Suddenly, Yamato Kajin stood up, his eyes locked on the board, completely speechless.
