With Barr around, Jonathan did not panic at all. Other than that, Ai Hatsune had just started learning shogi not long ago.
Even without Barr's help, Jonathan was confident that he could win against her.
With the help of Akinai the young crane, Jonathan and Ai the young crane began to play shogi.
After all, this was Jonathan and Ahinai's goal. They wanted to dispel her admiration for the Eighth Master and prevent the young crane from blindly pursuing him.
Both of them used the same chessboard, but Jonathan could only rely on himself to play on two sides. On the other hand, Ashina the young crane would play according to Jonathan's instructions.
"Jonathan, please guide me!"
"Xiao 'ai, call me uncle…"
"But isn't it very impolite to call your brother uncle?”
Love the young crane blinked her eyes adorably and refuted her mother. Akinai the young crane was speechless and looked at Jonathan helplessly.
"Haha, Xiao 'ai, you can call me whatever you want. I'm not that old, am I?”
Uncle?
It made sense. The Cherry Blossom Kingdom valued backup the most. Although he was young, he was a friend of the young crane Akinai and not her junior. Therefore, it was only natural for the young crane to call him uncle.
"Hehe, big brother, let's start!”
"Alright, you go first."
Jonathan did not give up the game to prevent himself from being slapped in the face.
As Love of the Crane entered serious mode, she placed her hands beside her legs and lowered her head to stare at the game on the board.
Coming, coming, she was going to cheat.
Jonathan had only made thirteen moves and she was already in the zone?
It seemed that his amateur level was quite impressive…
" F * ck!?"
Pa!
On the other side of the video, Ai Hatsune's body swayed back and forth continuously before she finally reached out to grab a chess piece and proceeded to the next step.
After making this move, Jonathan quickly saw a few results from the game.
His dragon horse chess piece would be eaten, and the carriage would be blocked. The Gui horse was stuck in an awkward position. If it did not move, it would be eaten in the next two steps, and the previous step would be blocked by another chess piece.
In short, a slight change in one hair would affect the whole body.
Jonathan's many chess pieces were coincidentally countered by this tricky move.
Wonderful.
He could only blame himself for being careless and not paying attention to that spot, causing young crane love to see the biggest loophole in his plan.
It seemed that his 'all-out attack' style was indeed too arrogant, and he had been caught in the sore spot in an instant.
But it didn't matter. This was just a common situation of being trapped. It wasn't like he didn't have other moves.
After a while, the young crane admitted defeat and bowed deeply to Jonathan.
Akinai also heaved a sigh of relief. She had been paying attention to her daughter the entire time, and her state was indeed a little scary. On the other hand, Jonathan had been smiling the whole time, looking like he was at ease.
That's true. His daughter had just learned it not long ago.
"Xiao 'ai, your talent really surprises me. I'm interested in taking you as my disciple.”
"Eh?" x2
Akinai and Ai were both stunned.
Akinai the young crane expressed that she did not know about this plot!
Wasn't he trying to prove that he was stronger than the Dragon King's youth and make his daughter lose her admiration for him?
Why are you taking her daughter as your disciple?？？
Similarly, Ai was also very surprised. However, she had already decided that Eighth Master was her master. Now that Jonathan wanted to take her as his disciple, Ai did not know what to do.
She looked at her mother and then at Jonathan.
One was his mother's happiness, and the other was his own pursuit.
emmmmm……
The young crane's silly fur entered a thinking mode.
No, she still wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Eighth Old Master.
It was because of him that she liked shogi.
As for his mother, he would just let her have a headache. At most, he would just work hard to matchmake the two of them in the future, right?
It's not bad to have such a handsome father!
"I'm sorry, Jonathan. I already have someone in mind.”
Once again, the young crane bowed and apologized, and this time, it was very formal.
When the young crane Akinai saw this, he was surprised and became even more vigilant against the young dragon king.
As expected, he should call the police in advance!
"Oh? May I ask who it is?"
"It's the Nine-Headed Dragon 81 who won the title of Dragon King in the final battle of the 29th Dragon King Battle last week!”
When this person was mentioned, it was obvious that young crane Ai's eyes were shining, and she admired him very much.
Jonathan nodded when he saw this. He was not surprised that he was rejected.
If this was the only thing that made Ai Hatsune agree, then Ai Hatsune would not have loved shogi so much. Instead, she would have given up after learning for a period of time.
It was precisely because she wanted to pursue Master Bayi that she studied day after day, even reading various books and chess manuals to solve endgames and so on.
"Is that so…"
"Xiao 'ai, you admire him so much because he's very powerful, right?”
Jonathan gave a hint to Akinai with his eyes, telling her to calm down before asking her again.
"Yes, he is now the Dragon King of Shogi!”
For her, the Dragon King was already the strongest.
Zooming in on it a little, Master Bayi was the world's number one!
Unfortunately, shogi was only very popular in the Cherry Blossom Country. After going out of the country, it was rare to even see a regular match. The rank could only be officially recognized in the Cherry Blossom Country.
The only Go player that could be called the world's number one was Go.
"I see. But what if I defeat him?”
"Eh? How is that possible? He's the Dragon King…"
Hearing this, the young crane's heart wavered.
She respected Jonathan very much. At the same time, she knew that Jonathan was very good at chess from the game just now. However, no matter how good he was, could he be better than the youngest dragon king, Dragon Eight?
Impossible!
Otherwise, Jonathan would have been famous long ago and would have defended his title in the Dragon King Battle instead of being unknown.
"Indeed, he is the Dragon King, and the youngest Dragon King.”
"However, he's only the strongest in the Chess World of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.”
"Xiao 'ai, do you know that there are more and better Go players in this world?”
"Let's not talk about Go. Just in the ancestor of shogi, Xiangqi, our Dragon Country's experts are full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.”
"As long as you don't jump out of this circle, you will never know how many experts there are in other circles and how strong they are.”
"So…I really can defeat this Dragon King.”
