Chapter 11 The Queen on the Chessboard

The afternoon sunlight was hazy and soft through the clouds, and Ikawa Haruka pushed Eureka to the park.

The blonde mixed-race girl had a few review materials on her legs, which Ikawa Haruka asked her to bring out specially.

Ikawa Haruka was a frequent visitor to the park, and she often came here on weekends to play chess with some elderly people. There were four chess tables in the park for people to relax and compete.

Ikawa Haruka pushed Eureka to one of the tables, and she greeted the elderly at the table next to her in a familiar manner.

The elderly people who were originally watching the game rushed over directly, and opposite Ikawa Haruka was already sitting an elderly man who was rubbing his hands and ready to go.

"Ah, here comes Haruka. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Today I'm going to get back what I lost last time!"

"Then you better line up, you competitive old man!"

Eureka held up her textbook to block her face and whispered, "Haruka, you're so welcome."

Iikawa Haruka tapped her nose, "Okay, you study hard and I'll concentrate on playing chess. Then we'll go out for something delicious tonight."

Eureka raised her hand and saluted, "I promise to complete the task, your highness!"

Iikawa Haruka pinned the naughty strands of hair by her ears behind her head, her eyebrows deep and gentle, "Grandpa Ebihara, please give me more advice this time."

The old man opposite blew his beard and glared, "You always say that, and every time you kill me without leaving a single piece of armor! Humph!"

Iikawa Haruka blinked her bright eyes innocently, why is she still being criticized. Sometimes she lets the opponent win, and if she's found out, she'll be criticized. If she doesn't let the opponent win, she'll be accused of being too cruel. I really don't know what to do.

The sun in the sky moved with the clouds, and the chessboard had already been going back and forth for several rounds.

With his fair and delicate fingers, Iikawa Haruka pinched the white king and mercilessly knocked down the black king: "checkmate"

Kageyama Tobio came over holding a volleyball and saw the moment when Iikawa Haruka defeated his opponent. Iikawa Haruka playing chess

is like a sharp blade out of its sheath, the blade flashing with cold light, sharp and beautiful.

Her whole body exudes a dazzling light, calm and confident. Kageyama Tobio couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment, and even didn't miss the change in his eyes when Iikawa Haruka was about to make a general.

Kageyama Tobio couldn't understand the chess game and didn't know the rules of chess. However, he could tell from the expression of the old man opposite Iikawa Haruka, who was pounding his head and looking regretful, that Iikawa Haruka was very powerful.

Iikawa Haruka shook the chess piece with one finger and nodded to the old man opposite: "Thank you."

"It's time to change people, Ebihara. I'll do it, I'll do it!" This is the old man who just said he hadn't seen him for a long time, Akeno-san.

After placing the chess pieces, Haruka Ishikawa looked at the anxious old naughty boy opposite with amusement. They had only not seen each other for three days, but he said it was a long time.

While waiting for him to sit down, Haruka Ishikawa caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Kageyama?"

Tobio Kageyama wanted to stay with his grandfather on the weekend, but he also needed to practice. This park was not far from the hospital, so he could practice here while his grandfather was sleeping for the examination, and then return to the hospital for dinner.

However, he did not expect to have an unexpected gain, and he would actually meet Senior Ishikawa here. The most important thing was that he could see a side of Senior Ishikawa that was different from the one in school, which made him feel a little unknown and secret joy in his heart.

When Tobio Kageyama was called, he held the ball and approached the chess table. He greeted Haruka Ishikawa and Eureka Chimiya and stood beside Haruka Ishikawa.

Haruka Ishikawa took the time to say this to Tobio Kageyama while playing chess.

"Are you here to see grandpa?"

"Yes, grandpa is resting now so I came out to practice."

"Aya, you are still distracted while playing chess, be careful not to lose." Akeno said to Ishikawa Haruka provocatively.

Ishikawa Haruka took a slow step and did not respond, but the old people around could not help but speak.

"Aya, Ishikawa Haruka was just letting you go."

"That's right!"

Ishikawa Haruka smiled and continued to play chess. She started by moving the two chariots up and down alternately to the bottom line, and her killing intent was instantly revealed.

"I won, Grandpa Akeno."

Akeno frowned. She really couldn't be careless against Ishikawa Haruka: "Two chariots kill the king, you win." Kageyama

observed the chessboard with a vague understanding, it was really magical. It was just a matter of reaching out and moving the chess pieces, and suddenly won in a few moves. Ishikawa-senpai is so amazing!

He can now probably understand why everyone in the school calls her Her Majesty the Queen. In just a few rounds, she can turn the world upside down, and the key is that she is calm and relaxed.

Haruka Ishikawa lowered her eyes, put the chessboard in order, and said goodbye to the group of old people who loved playing chess.

An old man tried to keep her: "It's only a few more games, why don't you play a few more games before leaving!"

Haruka Ishikawa smiled and shook her head. If she didn't leave, the little cripple would become a sprint champion!

Chimiya Eureka twisted left and right in her wheelchair, unable to stay still.

Chimiya Eureka was so bored that she started playing volleyball. When she saw the volleyball in Tobio's hand, she asked Kageyama to lend it to her.

Haruka Ishikawa pushed the wheelchair: "Okay, give the volleyball back to Kageyama, let's go eat."

Chimiya Eureka raised her right hand like an elementary school student: "Yes!"

Kageyama Tobio looked at Haruka Ishikawa who was struggling to push the wheelchair, and said: "Senior, let me push it, are you going back to the hospital?"

Chimiya Eureka's eyes rolled around: "Kageyama, come along, we're going to eat!" Haruka

Ishikawa put his palm on the blonde loli's head: "Yuri, Kageyama has to go back to accompany his grandfather, don't bother him."

Kageyama Tobio picked up the volleyball with his fingers, actually he really wanted to go. The main reason was that it was too strenuous for Senior Ishikawa to push the wheelchair alone. She was wearing a white dress with a pinched waist, and when she pushed the wheelchair, her waist was so tight that it felt like it was about to break.

"Senior, let me push it. Grandpa should be having dinner, I'm not in a hurry to go back to the hospital."

Kageyama took the wheelchair and pushed it forward: "Senior Chimiya, where are we going?"

"Go straight, then turn right and go straight again. We're going to eat tempura!"

Seeing the two people in front of her chatting by themselves, Iikawa Haruka had to move forward: "Then I'll trouble Kageyama."

Kageyama Tobio said to Iikawa Haruka seriously: "Senior has helped me so much, it's not a problem at all!"

Iikawa Haruka avoided Kageyama's direct gaze, in fact, there were not many, most of them were because of Toru.

When will this young man have someone to walk side by side with?

Her brother has Iwaizumi next to her, she has Eureka next to her, Kunimi is always inseparable from Kindaichi... But Kageyama Tobio seems to have only volleyball next to him.

In the restaurant, the proprietress served the steaming tempura rice bowl. The vegetables and seafood are wrapped in a golden and crispy coat, and the surface is drizzled with a moderately salty sauce. As soon as he took a bite, the juice flowed, and his mouth was filled with the deliciousness of the ingredients!

Chimiya Yurika sipped the spoon, his eyes shining, and he was enjoying it with relish. Kageyama

Tobio picked up a piece of cod and put it in his mouth. When he bit through the golden fried shell, the puffy hot steam made him swallow it whole.

Haruka Ishikawa quickly handed him the ice water: "Eat slowly!"

She looked at the two people opposite her who were eating happily, and she also started to move her chopsticks. She took small sips, blowing air while savoring the food delicately.

At night, Haruka Ishikawa returned home under the stars. She looked at the endless night sky, where the stars were accompanied by the moon. And the boy who was like the sun was always alone like the sun, like a lonely hero.

However... there were still ripples on her lips. At least Kageyama was very happy while eating today.

[Author has something to say]

In the near future, the boy who was like the sun will meet his own little sun!
