I understand.
I will make sure you can get ahold of me, no matter where I am.
Doctor!
Please take care of my mother.
I’ll get the money to pay, no matter what.
So please, do everything you can.
Understood.
The results of her surgery aren’t as good as they had hoped.
They think they should try once again, if possible.
But it's expensive...
What about the tournament? Furuta-san was worried.
That's right! I'm sorry!
I'll get in touch with the Association.
Your own cell phone?
It’s a protective charm. Umm... would you tell me your e-mail address?
Thanks.
Yet another sweeping victory in the third round for yours truly.
You're in perfect form today, aren't you, Yasuoka-sensei?
The first round win felt good.
I wonder if old timers like us are suited for the tournament?
Excuse me...?
You’re always helping Shion out, right?
That's... I...
Shion-san's the one... always helping me.
Saito-san, what is it?
Saito Ayumi, A group, number 15;
reporting a win.
Oh! First Inoue 4-dan and now Kimura 5-dan?
Just more proof that you’re really quite skilled.
I wonder if it's okay to look forward to it...
Very much so.
But, I'm sure Shion will be rooting for you.
How sad.
I'm sorry...
Is that right?
You won against Kimura, too?
Those idiots at the Association must be in an uproar.
The next one's with Yasuoka?
You won’t win so easily.
Yes.
I know.
Tomorrow I play against a girlie named Nikaido.
Is she strong?
Yes, she is.
Is that right?
Think I’m in trouble?
No, that's not...
Murata was hollerin’ about losin’ to some kid.
Something about “fallen 9-dan” or something.
How pointless!
The number in front of "dan" is mere decoration.
Whoever’s strongest wins.
That's all that matters.
If I lose tomorrow...
Just kidding.
Later.
Gaaah, I lost.
Just who was that guy?
Geez, Nikaido-san's luck is bad, huh?
She won the first round rather easily,
but being matched against Kamizono 9-dan in the second round?
Poor thing.
He’s not the sort of guy to take it easy on her because she’s a girl, either.
It’d be tough even if he did take it easy on her!
Hani-nii...
How’re you feeling?
Okay.
I’ll definitely win.
I’ll keep winning, until I’m matched up with you!
Saori. What are you so afraid of?
This is the first time you've played a male kishi in a regular game, right?
Yes.
That makes this even more true:
play your own shougi.
Don’t think of anything else.
Concentrate only on the game in front of you.
Think about your match with me later.
I'm...
afraid?
Sure I'm nervous, but...
But, in order to play against Hani-nii,
I can't lose.
It's okay.
I still have time.
I'll sit in front of the board and calm myself.
K-Kamizono 9-dan!
Hello, little girl.
You look extremely relaxed.
Uh... no... um...
Don’t just stand there, come in and sit down.
S-sure.
That Saori...
Right about now, is she getting indoctrinated by Kamizono 9-dan?
Um...
I just wanted to say this before the match:
that an amateur like me could play against the Meijin...
I don’t know if my luck in the lottery was good or bad.
It’s quite all right.
All I ask is that you play with enough vigor that I lose!
That's absurd!
Just being able to play a match against you is such an honor!
Afterwards...
Can I have your autograph?
Of course.
Oh! Wow! Thank you so much!!
Now, should I get this over with quickly and go see how Saori is holding up?
Now I can get back my entry fee!
Honestly, playing a woman without handicaps, and on top of that, I go first?
Even so, you’ve begun a strange game here.
What’s that Hani brat plotting?
Excuse me, but don’t you think Hani-nii-
the Meijin considered the potential consequences for the whole shougi world before he joined this tournament?
Whoa, whoa... Don't get so riled up.
You’re going all conspiracy-theorist on me.
No, I’m...
Besides, the one who wants to destroy the shougi world is none other than Hani himself, right?
Well, what Hani does doesn’t matter much to an outcast like me.
[Nakabisha - opening play where the rook in front of the king is moved]
Nakabisha?
I didn’t see many of those in the transcripts of his more recent games.
In the upcoming moves, he will probably use the strategy that was his specialty when he was younger.
Now, there's a move I could make that would capture one of your pieces,
but what would you do, little girl?
Just as I thought.
Saori's completely under his control.
I don't know.
After he played L-1c, I captured his piece with my knight.
After that, black's attack should be...
P-1d?
P-3d?
P-1b?
A dangling pawn?
Was this his goal from the start?
Excuse me for just a second.
Hani-nii!
Why'd he have to see me like this?
How unusual.
I didn't expect you to come watch someone else's match.
She's my adorable fellow apprentice.
Fellow apprentice?
I thought you were his apprentice, so I've been playing to crush you.
I thought you were his apprentice, so I've been playing to crush you.
It is an honor to both me and Saori that you would say that.
Saori's current skills are good enough to be able to play you without shame, Kamizono-sensei.
If she calms down and plays her own shougi, she should be able to play quite well.
Isn't that right, Saori?
Chidamari, eh?
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
She's still just a novice, you see.
The "chidamari" is the square hole on the bottom of the shougi board.
In the past, anyone who gave hints or spoke about a match
would be beheaded and put on display there.
Do you understand?
Matches are that strict!
Hani-nii...
You'd go that far, for my sake...
That's right.
It's just like Hani-nii says.
I should calm down and play my own shougi.
I understand.
You've taught me about the ugly side of shougi.
This match is between you and me, Kamizono-sensei.
Well, after that, I'm sure Saori's back to normal.
It would be a problem if Saori were to be disqualified now.
P-3g, eh?
What kind of move was that, considering how long she was thinking about it.
How is it?
Meijin!
Nikaido-san just played P-3g.
She spent 40 minutes on that move,
but we were thinking P-3e would have been a better move.
So, she's trying to get him to cut her knight off, then she's going to attack from a straight line.
That's a pretty interesting tactic for Saori to use.
But will it get past Kamizono 9-dan?
If I capture her piece with my king, her move wil be R-4i.
You can play just fine, even without your protector here.
As I expected, he captured my piece.
Now, I just might be able to beat him with L-1e, then R-1i.
N-4e?
Is Kamizono-sensei rushing to attack me?
No, I have to stay focused.
R-1i!
Now they're both attacking!
I thought Nikaido-san would play with prudence during the middle game, but...
I absolutely cannot retreat now!
Then...
+R-6i!
You're sure being firm, Nikaido-san!
Is she being firm, or is it just an impossible attack?
Three hours since the beginning of the match.
Yet the true contest is only beginning.
It's just beginning.
I must withstand his attacks, and play my own shougi.
His hand!
Kamizono-sensei?
P-6e now?
That's not really like Kamizono 9-dan.
Yeah...
It looks like he's rushing the game.
There's no mistake.
It's exactly as the rumors say.
Or, is it worse?
I'll just have to use my king.
I knew it, he's tough.
But, I'm still okay.
K-4b.
That's a good, calm move.
But...
+N-5c?
After my king captured his piece, he played B-7a, giving him a fork on my king and rook.
Kamizono-sensei, that was an awfully bold move.
Does he have me in check already?
This is tough, even with 3 hours per person.
My body just won't do what I tell it to.
Well, with this layout, I don't think I can not check her.
I'll play my bishop from 7a,
then when she plays N-6b, I'll answer with...
S-4d, then L-4i.
No!
She's not...
in check yet!
B-7a was what I thought he'd do.
I can still win this!
That was a move without any hesitation.
She realized that she's not in check.
S-4d.
At this rate, he won't check me.
Yet, his moves haven't changed.
If he's relying on his intuition,
then all I have to do is rely on mine!
You're looking awfully confident.
This is the last of my willpower.
Are you with me through the end?
Nikaido-san's shougi is very flexible.
Even though she's playing against the Demon Kamizono, she won't retreat even one step.
Yeah, all of a sudden she seems very skilled- no, self-confident.
Her king's finally entering the promotion zone.
Does that mean...?
There is no check on my king.
This game...
I've won it.
With my rusty intuition and this body...
Those are just excuses.
This means this young girl is a better gambler than I currently am.
I've never seen Kamizono 9-dan with such a peaceful expression.
Hey, little girl...
What would you do if I were to collapse now before your eyes?
If that were to happen, then you would run out of time and I would win.
That viewpoint...
Don't forget it.
That's all.
Thank you.
He sounded strange on the phone yesterday.
Boxes?
Everything's packed up?
He couldn't be-
Master!
Hmm?
What's with that look?
[Hari kari - suicide, seppuku]
Did you think I'd commit hari kari after losing to a woman or something?
No, that's not...
The doctors are yammering that I need to be hospitalized so they can examine me.
I thought I could still play, but after how I was today...
Even after I lost that which was important to me, I thought I could continue living through matches.
But, the hole she left in my heart was bigger than this shougi board.
Ayumi...
Yes?
Just now, you called me "Master," didn't you?
Yes.
Kyouko, rejoice.
Ayumi is our first apprentice.
