Togaku Go Club.
Renz and Erina, accompanied by the production team, had arrived at the Go club. The production team had informed the club in advance, so the staff weren't particularly surprised by their arrival.
As soon as Renz entered, he didn't immediately execute the task on the card. He wanted to meet the other guests participating with him. So, Renz had Erina sit across from him at a table.
"Director, I'm not doing the task right now; I'm waiting for the Go player guest," Renz specifically reminded her.
This was to prevent Yu Nagasawa from thinking Renz
was trying to cut corners. The task card said to find any table in the Togaku Go Club and win a game. Erina could also play Go at the club, and with her skill level, Renz would easily win if he played against her.
Speaking of which, although Senzaemon Nakiri always claimed to be a bad Go player, the old man loved playing Go. Besides tasting delicious food, the thing Senzaemon Nakiri loved to do most was to play Go at the club whenever he had free time. Given Senzaemon Nakiri's social status and position, he knew quite a few highly skilled professional Go players. Although Renz hadn't personally gone to a Go club for formal rank evaluations, he had played Go online.
There are dedicated online Go platforms for playing, and the more points you have, the stronger the opponents you're matched against. Renz had even been matched with professional Go players, which is why he felt no pressure at all doing this task.
Just as Renz and Erina began their game, exchanging moves, two figures suddenly appeared at the door. Taro Hanyu scanned everyone in the Go club and immediately identified his target. Before the production of "Challenge of Love" began, it was mentioned that they would prioritize inviting celebrities from various industries rather than professional artists for this variety show.
There had been rumors earlier that the strongest culinary couple, Renz and Erina, would be participating in this competition. So, Taro Hanyu paid extra attention, and with a quick glance, he immediately found his target for this trip.
Behind him.
Was his wife, HiyoriHanyu. However, HiyoriHanyu was not a Go player, but rather the top female international chess player in Japan. He calmly walked over to Renz, not disturbing Renz and Erina's game. He remained quiet, observing Renz's moves and estimating his skill.
Renz couldn't have failed to notice Taro Hanyu's arrival, but he wasn't in a hurry to launch a lightning strike and end the game. Who was Renz playing Go with? Who was accompanying Souma in the game? It was Erina. He wouldn't 'bully' his wife for the sake of a bystander, a colleague participating in the same variety show.
Rather than making her wait longer, Souma didn't want
Erina to have a difficult time playing Go. Several moves were deliberately made wrong by Souma, giving Erina a chance to enjoy the game of Go. Souma's method of "giving way" was very particular; he could give way, but not too obviously.
If he intentionally left a glaring flaw, the person playing against him would know he was holding back, and what would be the point of holding back then? To deliberately tell someone, "I'm better than you, much better, and I'm letting you win out of respect; I can win whenever I want?"
Souma didn't want to do that. He would only make minor, insignificant mistakes that Erina could either capitalize on or ignore. This allowed Erina to enjoy capturing pieces with her own moves without affecting the overall outcome of the victory.
Seeing Renz's playing style, Taro Hanyu estimated it would be a while, so he found an adjacent Go table and sat down, intending to play a game as well.
Hiyori Hanyu hesitated for a moment, then sat across from Taro Hanyu. Although she was an international chess player, her husband was a professional Go player, so Hiyori Hanyu understood the rules and gameplay of Go.
As soon as they sat down.
With a piece played, Taro Hanyu immediately began his attack. The previous round was a regular one, with no major strategy established, but then his moves opened up. Taro Hanyu didn't hold back. He attacked here, attacked there, and Hiyori Hanyu, being aggressively beaten like this, found herself in a series of interconnected predicaments on the board. She hadn't gained the initiative in the first few rounds, and from then on, she was constantly pressured. To turn the game
around, she would need to find her opponent's mistakes.
But Taro Hanyu's Go style was very aggressive, yet being good at attacking didn't mean he was prone to mistakes. His playing style was different from Renz's; he went straight for the kill, completely disregarding the other person's gaming experience.
"Erina, you're actually quite talented at Go. You're getting better and better," Renz's approach was different from Taro Hanyu's. Taro Hanyu treated Hiyori Hanyu as an opponent to be confronted, not caring about her direction or skill, nor teaching her how to play Go well.
Because Hiyori Hanyu's profession was international chess, Go was just for entertainment. Taro Hanyu couldn't be bothered to teach her, and even though the game types were different, talent was evident. As for holding back, Taro Hanyu never even considered such a thing.
Both of them had sour faces, moving piece by piece, gradually encroaching on each other's pieces, constantly contemplating their next move.
"Hahahahaha, that move of yours was truly stupid!" Taro Hanyu seized an opportunity, placed a piece, and a flash of white appeared. This excitement made his smile impossible to hide.
Hiyori Hanyu felt a surge of anger upon hearing this. Go wasn't her strong suit to begin with, and now she had made a clumsy move and was being mocked for it.
Renz was dumbfounded.
He thought he was already a rigid straight man, but unexpectedly, there was someone even more extreme at the next table.
Playing Go and being so harsh to his wife?
As a professional Go player, ruthlessly dominating like that made Renz feel a bit overwhelmed. If Renz dared to play that way, Erina would silently 'shut down' and never play Go with Renz again.
Taro Hanyu finished his move and burst into laughter.
"I won."
"I told you, Hiyori, you really need to watch and learn more about Go. Go is the king of board games. What's international chess? It's just a minor game."
"Don't just spend every day studying international chess manuals and moves."
Renz was speechless.
How did this guy get married?
Did someone misjudge him? This statement was outrageous; he completely disregarded his wife's feelings, trampling all over them.
Or was this how they usually talked?
"Are you mentally deficient or something? You, a professional Go player, are comparing Go with me, an amateur? Why don't you compare international chess with me?" Hiyori Hanyu didn't hold back at all and immediately started scolding him.
"Look at how he talks to his wife."
"Why can't you learn from others?"
"I truly can't live like this with you anymore. The way you've talked all these years, the fact that I haven't had a stroke is absolutely a medical miracle of human biology and self-healing."
