We will have a school assembly at 8:30.
All students, please proceed to the gymnasium by then.
I repeat.
All students, please proceed to the gymnasium by then.
Since middle school, Kiriyama
has actively been a professional shogi player.
Day by day, he laboriously
spent time studying shogi.
Um, and it's not because of his efforts just now
that Kiriyama became the Newcomer King.
Like the pawn piece, he moves forward step by step,
and finally becomes a "promoted pawn".
Um, like the pawn piece, everyone should...
Geez! I said
to please stop it, didn't I?
To even be recognized as the Newcomer King...
Kids these days aren't interested in shogi at all.
"Kids these days"? Which era do you think you're born?
It's stressful to be told, "move forward step by step,
and become a promoted pawn".
Well, I guess it might not be imparted.
It's not "might not" but definitely won't be!
Okay, okay. Sit down.
Geez...
[ Certificate of Commendation: Mr Rei Kiriyama ]
This should be good. Yeah.
Oh! Hello.
Hi. Why did you ask me for today...
I think this is the best. What do you think?
What? Um. Well. What is this?!
Isn't it cool that it looks like a poster of a movie?
No, no. That's not what I mean...
Since it's a shogi match between two geniuses who became pros when they were in junior high,
the sponsors came marching without our imagination.
Huh?
To increase younger fans of shogi, we used the trump card of popularity.
We wanted to catch the attention of the society.
You know that it's common where the players
who became the Newcomer King would later become Meijin too, right?
I also got that title. Even Toku here did that.
Of course, Soya too.
It's a match of the current Meijin and the future Meijin.
Don't you think it's quite dramatic?
Did Mr Soya...
D-did Mr Soya said something?
Hm?
Nothing.
[ To be stronger in shogi I will become a pro My goal is to become a pro shogi player ]
[ I want to be strong like Soya Meijin ]
The first time I heared of the man named "Toji Soya", [ I want to be strong like Soya Meijin ]
I thought he lived from another world.
But it's a given that he's living in the same world as ours.
I couldn't actually feel
that I will be face to face with him across the board at all...
Hey, isn't that the one?
Ah! It's that! Alright! It's here!
Are there any Fried Crescents left?
Yes.
Welcome back.
Thanks.
Look, it's sold out!
Wow! Now that's a specialty product!
I know right!
But what should I do now.
Grandpa, what are you thinking about? The next new product?
I'm thinking about a new product fit for summer but...
I can't seem t come up with anything.
Chestnut, sweet potato, salt caramel.
Ah. And also some fresh cream!
What about you Momo? What do you want in a daifuku?
Hmm.... Gum!
- What? - What're you saying? Geez.
Wait a minute.
If we listened to all your suggestions,
the Crescent Hall will become a cake shop.
The truth is that you hate wagashi, isn't it?
We're sorry. We like them. We love them a lot.
Ah, I can't! I can't rack it up! I can't narrow this!
That's because women are always coveting this and that.
I'm taking a bath. Bath time, bath time.
Ah, oh no. It's already this late.
I have to prepare dinner.
Since Grandpa is here anyway, why don't you invite Kiriyama over?
That's a good idea.
Then Momo, could you please help me prepare?
Okay!
Hello?
Ah... Hello.
Ah...
Kiriyama, good evening.
Good evening.
Grandpa is here tonight.
Would you like to eat dinner with us?
Is it alright?
Yeah. Come in.
Guys! Kiriyama is here.
So it's been a year already since Kiriyama first came to this house?
That's right...
Ah... Is it really been that long?
Thank you for everything.
But still...
You haven't become "fortunately plump" at all.
Ah... I'm sorry.
Say Grandpa.[ねえ おじいちやん}
Mom came up with the Fried Crescents, right?
That's right...
She loved cooking and loved wagashi.
She would always call them trial products and created all kinds of sweets.
I see...
Pioneering a commemorative game at the end of the month,
the Lion King tournament also starts this year.
To get hold of the Lion King title holder,
who is the most appropriate to challenge Toji Soya,
it's a battle for only one challenger to be chosen.
Hmm... Mr Shimada is hesitating.
He played a move that's not like him.
He has been that way ever since he lost to Mr Soya.
Is Mr Shimada in a tight spot?
Yeah. Looks like he'll lose in his first match.
Things like this often happens to people who fought Soya.
One gets disassembled in pieces and is needed to be repaired.
They all start again from the beginning.
Newcomer King Kiriyama.
Did you win your first round?
Somehow. How about you Mr Misumi?
Yeah, even though it's a win without a match.
Win without a match? Who was your opponent?
Mr Koda.
What? He's your master. Don't tell me you don't know.
Did something happened to him?
Oh. Rei.
Come in.
What happened? Are you alright?
Well, it's a bit embarrassing but I just fell at home.
At home?
Yeah, that's right. Since I hit my head,
I thought I should get a full checkup.
But to be hospitalized is an exaggeration.
This is a countermeasure to a Bishop Exchange.
Even though I studied it and was supposed to use it in the Lion King tournament.
What do you think? Don't you think it makes a good form?
You just moved here right now, right?
Yes.
Hey! I asked you to replace the fluorescent lamp
yesterday and even the day before that, right?!
Were you assuming since my wife is unconscious, it's fine to just do it even later?!
- No, that's not true. - Then replace it now!
Understood, Sir.
Geez.
Ah. Sorry to keep you waiting. The secret way was under construction, you see.
Huh?
Um, I don't think I asked for anything...
What? Wait. Isn't this the residence of Kiriyama?
Huh? Ah, yes. It's Kiriyama...
He will pay for them. Thank you!
Kyoko... Ah, geez...
What's this all of a sudden.
No one else would take them from you so savor it more while eating it.
It's expensive after all.
That was close. I choked with a sea urchin and thought I would die.
Mr Goto was in the hospital...
Looks like his wife was in the same hospital.
So you went to the hospital.
Are you still with Goto?
What did Dad say?
He said he'll have a complete checkup.
No.
Did he say why he is hospitalized?
He said that he fell in the house and hit his head.
Hey, see now.
Have you seen someone who fell down their house?
What?
Ayumu and Dad had a big fight. It's more like a war.
Dad said what Ayumu will do when he graduates high school.
That happened to him because Dad said persistent things to Ayumu.
Ayumu snapped and said he's sorry for not becoming like you.
He pushed Dad hard.
That's when his head went bam.
You are still a sensitive topic in the house.
Hina! Sorry for the wait. Bath is ready.
What's wrong? You don't seem well.
No, that's not it. I'm just a bit tired.
Cute snowman.
Hmm... What do you think about this as a new product for Crescent Temple?
There are two bean jams in them and you can enjoy two kinds of tastes.
I'm naming it "Fortunately Plump Daruma".
Wow. That sounds amazing. I kinda want to eat it.
Well then. I should go to take a bath.
Then please return the heating to normal since you're the last one to use it.
Okay, got it. Good night.
Good night.
Master Kiriyama!
Ah...
I came to pick you up. Please hop in.
What?
Please have a seat.
Please go to the room at the right.
There please.
Young Master! Master Kiriyama is here to see you.
Oh! It's finally time.
Are your studies doing well?
Yeah, somehow...
Don't tell me...
You're originally prepared to lose...
You're thinking like that, don't you?! It's written in your face!
No. That's not true...
Immediately throw away your optimistic thinking that
it's only a celebratory game!
Big bro...
said this after that time...
When you fight with Soya, the truth comes out.
Even the weakness of my heart which I didn't notice.
Without confidence, fear will be thrust.
You will come face to face with his true form without mercy.
Listen well. Think only about winning!
If you just think you're just playing for practice
with someone stronger, you'll get blown away with Soya Meijin in a flash!
We will now have the Meijin, Toji Soya
and the Newcomer King, Rei Kiriyama to have an entrance.
Ladies and gentlemen, please greet them with a big round of applause.
For this kind of commemorative match to occur in Morioka city
is the first time.
But for Morioka city, this is humbly...
The evening of the night-before party was a big event.
The venue was packed with people.
Among all the flashbulbs, speeches were made one after another.
Cheers!
Many adults take turns
and appeared in front of me.
Too much bowing and your head starts to spin.
Is this an everyday thing to him?
While we are in the middle of the talk,
Mayor Hiroaki Fujita of Moriaka city has hurriedly arrived.
Please give us some words.
Um, good evening everyone.
As introduced before, I am the mayor of Morioka city, Hiroaki Fujita.
Well then, are there any other questions?
- Kiriyama 6-dan. - Yes?
Asking this again but what can you say
for tomorrow's commemorative match?
Yes, umm... I feel a lot of tension and anxiety at the moment.
But for tomorrow's match,
I will concentrate on playing
that it would not end in an instant. Yes.
Soya Meijin.
What kind of match do you think it would be tomorrow?
Since it's my first match with Kiriyama 6-dan,
so I'm looking forward how the flow of the match will be.
Even though you've been continuously playing in title matches,
how is your physical condition?
Yes. Thank you very much.
Well then, if you please excuse me.
Meijin, just one more question...
- Are you alright? - I'm really sorry!
Tomorrow, I will do my best
to have a good match with Kiriyama 6-dan.
Soya! You have to get your clothes changed.
Please excuse us.
We're really sorry for this.
What? I'm trembling?
W-wait. What is this?
What's wrong?
I resign.
I'm scared.
So I'm...
...scared to fight with him...
Hello?
I think it's about time
that the night-before party is over. How are you feeling?
Ah...
Yes. I'm alright.
You don't sound like you're alright, though.
I can tell with your voice.
Even though I thought this might be a hindrance the night before the match,
there is one thing I want to tell you.
Rei.
Listen well.
The one who will sit in front of you is just a human.
What?
Listen.
You are not going to fight a demon you created yourself.
Yes.
Thank you very much, stepfather.
Also,
have fun.
Okay.
Then, good night.
Good night.
Such a good parent.
Soya Meijin in kimono, huh?
It's rare to see him wearing it in a match like this.
He's even more intimidating.
Come in.
Make some coffee for them.
Since it's time,
please start the first move with the Newcomer King, Kiriyama.
Let's have a good game.
I know the difference in strength.
But it's just like what Nikaido said.
If I forget that I should win, I'll be blown away in a moment...
Hmm. Soya moves his Silver General in 2-8.
It's like he's questioning him.
He's asking, "Hello? Who are you?".
Well then, Kiriyama, how will you respond?
I am... Rei Kiriyama.
B-Class 2nd Group, 6-dan, 18 years old.
I learned shogi from my father.
But when I was in the 3rd grade of elementary school...
My family passed away in a traffic accident in an instant...
That man is my father's best friend.
Do you...
...like shogi?
Yes.
That man, who is a professional shogi player,
became my new father.
And together with the children living in the same house,
I also started aiming to be a professional shogi player.
By doing so, there is no other way for me to live...
Kiriyama 6-dan is playing well in the match.
He has also responded well in Soya Meijin's studying moves.
Pawn 7-4...
No... What the hell am I doing?!
Why didn't I realized that there is Pawn 8-6?
If he threatens with Pawn 8-6, I've got nothing left!
Just like I thought, he has read over everything.
Okay. What should I do?
This might be difficult...
Soya mercilessly aggravated
that reckless move of Pawn 7-4 from before.
So this is how to provoke the shogi demon...
Looks like that would settle it.
Soya has played another troubling move...
After that, I was like in a trance.
In my mind, with every clack of the pieces,
a bright flash seemed to flare up.
I realized that, in my head,
something was gradually becoming connected...
It was almost as if water that sparkled a dazzling silver
was flowing into every corner.
I resign.
Hey.
So you finally came. Come in.
Your mind is still blank, isn't it?
Yes...
The clicking sound of the match has continuously been echoing nonstop.
It was an amazing game, wasn't it?
From Pawn 7-4,
at the instant my fingers let go of the piece...
Hmm?
That time...
the surface of my finger
felt like it fell off...
When my hand let go of the piece,
I realized that I've got nothing left...
Even though I know I have already lost,
I thought I don't want to end it...
If...
I kept playing my best moves,
I wondered how far this shogi will go...
Which reminds me. Have you noticed Soya's secret?
Huh?
I wonder if it was about 10 years regarding his hearing.
It would go in and out of "being able to hear" and "not being able to hear".
They said it might be stress.
Ah...
Mr Soya, just one more question...
Are you alright?
Thank you very much.
Tomorrow, I will do my best
to have a good match with Kiriyama 6-dan.
Soya.
Most people don't know it.
I think the only people that knows are the ones entering title matches
who directly challenges and comes in contact with Soya.
Good afternoon. It's Kiriyama.
Oh.
Rei!
Welcome back.
You don't seem to look well.
Ah, this are souvenirs from Morioka.
You didn't have to, but we'll take it.
Thank you very much. Okay, come in, come in.
Thanks for having me.
Looks delicious.
Rei, look at this!
Ah... Please give me a break.
But it's a memento!
To be published this big in a newspaper,
we'll have it boasted to everyone.
You're amazing, Rei!
No, no. I'm not amazing at all.
Even though Hina isn't back home yet,
might as well eat before she arrives.
Wait.
Since patience is poison to the body, which one should we eat?
This!
Looks delicious.
There's something here.
Isn't it yours, Momo?
Are you there, Hina?
Ah!
She came at such good timing!
Huh? What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Hina?
From what Hina told us,
it looks like bullying started in class when third year of middle school began.
Sorry.
A girl named Chiho,
for vague reasons such as acting like a good girl,
became a target of some group of the girls.
She is like being teased and passed on homeworks.
Say, aren't you really good at sewing?
Yeah...
Just like I thought.
Since you look gloomy and always alone.
Then finish this. You like to sew, right?
Sakura.
Everyone feared that group of girls...
Mine too. Make it cute.
Even the homeroom teacher...
And it seems Hina can't ignore it and she pleaded for her.
It's wrong to pick someone as if they're wrong.
Don't tell me something that will make everyone uneasy.
But Ma'am Aoyama!
Try jumping from here. Come on, climb up.
Come on, do it...
Climb up! Climb up! Climb up! Climb up!
Chiho!
Let's go.
Huh? Who does she think she is?
Chiho. Let's go home together.
Hina, I'm sorry.
What?
But soon after, Chiho changed schools.
And then, the target of their bullying shifted to Hina...
You're filthy. Don't touch it.
Thank goodness I won't have germs.
She can hear that.
I'm sorry! Are you alright?
It's a way people passes through though.
If you don't feel good, you should go to the school infirmary. It's really bothersome.
Momo, I'm sorry. I'm really okay.
I'm gonna run outside for a bit.
Hina! It's already late!
Ah, I'll go after her.
I wonder how did it end up like this...
Up until the second year...
We used to have so much fun everyday school...
Even though Chiho was troubled...
Why did everyone...
Said that it's dangerous to protect her...
Even said that if I protected her I would be a target too...
It turned out just the way everyone said.
I was afraid the whole time that I would be alone...
But...
But I don't regret it! I can't!
Because...
Because what I did was definitely not wrong!
Hey! Shogi robot!
Why are you here reading all alone!
It's strange...
Even after so much time has passed...
A person can be tempestuously saved from going in the utterly wrong direction.
Hina.
Thank you.
What?
I really owe you.
I promise you. I'll stick with you.
Even if it takes me my whole life, I am going to pay you back.
Rei...
I heard the whole story from Akari.
よくやつた ! ひな
Grandpa?
How nasty bullying gets nowadays,
even I know from newspapers and TV how awful they are.}
That was incredibly brave!
Even adults could barely do things like that.
I'm proud to call you my granddaughter!
You didn't do anything wrong!
Hold your head high!
Hina.
Let's eat dinner then.
- Okay? - Yes.
I'll prepare it quick.
Thanks.
That night's dinner were all Hina's favorite dishes.
Hina's strength
probably came from this dinner table.
- Is it too salty? - No, not at all.
Kiriyama, what the hell?
With three consecutive defeats in the rank decision matches, you've already escaped your slump?
We...
On the Lion King's tournament...
lost again...
Yeah...
Celebrating Kiriyama escaping the slump and Misumi-Matsumoto Lion King's tournament defeat.
With the theme, "Why are these men fighting?",
shall we go drink with a bang.
Let's do that, let's really do that. Thanks for treating us!
- Let's go. - I'm sorry, I...
For some reason, I have to save money.
I don't want to use them for pointless things.
Pointless?
To drink together with your seniors is pointless?
Yes.
Sorry about this, you're a lifesaver.
It's nothing...
They had all these deals to commemorate their recent remodeling.
I mean, they had onions and potatoes for 1800 yen a box.
I can't afford not to buy them.
What is Hina doing today?
Ah. She's with Momo and Grandpa. They went to the amusement park at Asakusa.
I wish that would keep her distracted even just a little bit...
Then please peel the outer layers of all the onions.
Can you do it?
I'll try.
Thanks.
Grandpa told Hina that
she did very well but...
I hesitated that time.
Then Grandpa told me later
that I should praise Hina for doing it.
When our father left us and our mother died,
I've taken the place as the mother of both Hina and Momo.
Even though I was only 19 and there was so much I didn't know.
But Mom counted on me.
That's why I pushed myself hard as I could.
Saying things like "Make sure you think about what's going on around you".
Things like "Be kind to others".
But when it comes down to it...
Who cares about righteousness. I wish she's just ran away from it.
Even though Hina did everything for her friend...
I...
That's not true.
You don't want your family to go through hardships like that...
When I was little too
I've always been bullied.
No one who's lending a helping hand
wants something utterly horrible like that
to happen to them.
But that day, Hina
was saying she was scared.
But she said that she didn't regret it and that she wasn't wrong.
At that moment...
I felt like
I had been saved.
I feel like...
I owe Hina.
That's why...
And since you're the one
who raised Hina,
I also owe you...
I'm sorry for saying too much.
Kiriyama...
Thank you.
Only famous pro shogi players comes to the quarterfinals.
Kiriyama? What are you doing?
Even if Hina suddenly transfers school,
and even if she takes a leave of absence and asked for a tutor,
and also asking advice from a lawyer needs a lot of money.
What?
I'm doing everything that things would be alright,
that I'm calculating the game salaries and money from prizes.
Just talking about a proposal would be irresponsible after all.
Kiriyama...
What? Wait. Are you really saying that?
What? Is something wrong about it?
In the first place, are there people who receive money from strangers?
But...
Then what should I do?!
You're a professional in education, so please tell me!
There isn't a single method that'll work 100%.
Even if you say that confidently...
It is preferable to ask the person first.
What kind of solution she wants.
It's called "The knight that jumps far falls prey to a pawn".
It's better to not jump too much.
Even though it's a piece you would want to move.
But you don't have a pawn.
Well, that's true...
Hina.
What do you want to do regarding school?
Is there anything I can do?
If going to school is painful...
It's not that it's painful.
I am frustrated.
They don't think they did such a bad thing.
I have no reason to mess my life for them.
That's true.
It's better not to face indecent people.
[ You're annoying ]
I really envy famous people. [ You're annoying ]
I really envy famous people.
Being bullied is proof that you're popular, right?
That's really great. I'm really envious.
[ Foolish school's ugliest Ms Shadow Kawamoto ]
That look.
How scary.
What's the meaning of this. Ms Kawamoto?!
I do not know. It was already there when I got here.
We want you to stop acting like the victim when you're the one that did it.
Did you think I was gonna hit you?
There's no way I would hit you.
If I did that, I'd be doing just what you wanted.
Hey, what do you mean I did it? Answer me!
Are you telling me that you saw me doing something that foolish?
Answer me!
Stop it already!
I've had enough... Stop it.
I can imagine that much,
that it was Ms Takagi and her friends' doing.
Please stop this already.
It's getting tiresome year by year...
I'm fed up!
All of you are absurd!
Doesn't that mean your method of teaching is bad, Ma'am?
The class's homeroom teacher was hospitalized due to anxiety.
I heard that the guidance counselor became the class's temporary homeroom teacher.
Ms Aoyama was hospitalized due to poor health. I heard that the guidance counselor became the class's temporary homeroom teacher.
Ms Aoyama was hospitalized due to poor health.
And so she has stopped going to this school.
What happened in class,
the students were called individually,
and it seems he heard the situation from each person.
So is Takagi the main offender of bullying?
The students also realized that the school started to make
serious moves about the matter.
Yes.
Hm...
Hey, Mr Kokubu,
Yes?
I already apologized right?
Verbally.
Verbally? Verbally, verbally...
How long are you gonna keep calling me?
Please wait a moment.
One each? That would be 600 yen.
- Welcome! - The azuki flavor is done.
Here's the apricot syrup. Thank you for waiting.
Grandpa, the rice flour dumplings are running out!
What? Hey, that was rather fast.
- Ah, I'll bring it. - Thank you.
Rei.
Looks like it's over.
I think it's over, probably.
I was asked to bake cookies with friends at class next time.
That's good to hear.
Hina.
I'm sorry.
In the end, I couldn't do anything to help.
Nothing?
You made me so happy that you listened to me.
What?
I made this. I'll give to you.
Okay. Oh...
Is it a dog?
- It's a cat. - What?
Ah... I see.
What? But it's wearing glasses?
Yeah, I wanted to look a bit like you.
I see.
Isn't it cute?
Yeah.
So it's solved.
Could it be
that you're thinking you did nothing to help?
Wait, did you tell her that?
Yes.
What did she say?
Didn't she said that it isn't true, right?
I could tell that.
Even though the result is important, sharing the problem with people isn't about the result too.
Good night.
Kiriyama, you're in semifinals next, right?
If you win until finals, you're up against Mr Goto, huh?
That guy will surely go to the finals.
I heard his wife passed away in the middle of his match.
What?
Even though the chairman notified that her physical condition changed...
He continued to play...
So he chose the Lion King's tournament over seeing his dying wife.
Well, he has great resolve.
You don't seem to understand anything at all as usual.
You young people.
What?
The long thinking of two hours in the 37th hand...
He probably struggled a lot during that time...
[ The late Misako Goto ]
Thank you for calling me during the commemorative match.
Was I in the way?
No, you helped me.
Rei, welcome.
Thank you for having me.
It hasn't changed.
Is Ayumu okay?
He hasn't changed.
He locked himself in his room and playing video games.
Kyoko also doesn't get into a temporary nor part-time job.
She just spends her time outside.
I don't know what's going on with the two anymore.
[ You lose ]
What's amazing about Soya Meijin is the intimidation where his opponents are making bad moves.
There's no training to that. It's a talent.
I see...
I will bring you with me when I will get to fight a match with Soya Meijin.
Really?
Yeah.
Hm? Who might you be?
Are you Hinata's friend?
Yes.
I have something important to talk about today. Can you come back next time?
Ah, is that so... I bought these though...
Ah, thanks
What's your name?
It's Kiriyama.
Okay. Kiriyama.
I'm really sorry for today.
[ From: Akari I received a text message from Hina. It looks like our father is in the house. Please stay with Hina and Momo. ]
What are you doing?
Can't you read between the lines?
What kind of business do you have today?
Hey, hey. You surprise me.
Are youngsters like that these days?
Maybe you've got the wrong idea.
I am their father.
What?
He said that we
should live together again.
Hinata.
I'm sorry to give you such bad memories up until now.
Why did you come suddenly after all this time...?
Were you thinking that I wasn't worried about all of you all this time?
It has been really hard that I wasn't able to live with you.
But you said that we should live together from now on. What about your current wife and daughter?
Of course they'd be living with us. I've already convinced them.
Are you serious?
Yes, I am.
All of us will live happily in this house.
Well, I understand that you will have an anxious feeling about it.
There might be confusion at first.
Ah, if you're worried about it,
I don't mind if all of you move to Grandpa's place for a while.
And take our time to all get used to living together...
Ah, umm...
Could you mean...
That they should all leave the house?
That's what it sounds like you're saying.
Why is it that you're asking to live together suddenly? Also...
And also...
You seem to be in something of a rush.
Don't you think you should leave?
This is not for strangers to be butting in, you know.
Ah, Akari. Long time no see.
You know, I was just talking just now something important...
Grandpa will come soon.
Okay. I see.
So it's better for me to leave now, huh?
And I thought
we could privately talk as a family after such a long time.
But I'm glad to see you all.
I'll be back later.
- I'll pick this. - Wow.
- Hmm... - Which one?
Ah, that's from before...
He used to be a kind person.
But he was fragile when it came to momentary stumbles.
He used to be a lecturer at cram school, but he got into a fight with a student's parent and quit.
He also said it doesn't suit him when he started helping out at Mikazuki Temple.
And then, his stay in the house slowly decreased.
He made a child with some other woman and left.
Why did he want to live with us together again?
Akari.
Would you rely on me next time for sure?
I want to be of help, even if a little.
Thank you.
I want to talk as a family. Why is Kiriyama here?
You're scary making a face like that.
It's not like I'm saying I want to have a fight.
So that I can make up for not being with you till now...
Yeah, let's all happily live together from now on.
I'm just going to talk something that happy.
Did something troubling happened saying suddenly that you want to live together with them?
What?
Didn't you just get fired from your job selling second hand cars?
And also, the date where you're asked to leave the employee company hostel is approaching. Having no place to stay and no money, looks like you're in trouble.
What do you want? Should I continue?
Who do you think you are? You're just an outsider.
How dare you speak like that toward an adult...
From my definition, an adult is
someone, at the very minimum, be able to support themselves.
I may be a high schooler, but as a professional shogi player,
I had an income of 7.8 million yen last year.
Now, the one who does not meet that requirement is you.
This is a family discussion!
It's got nothing to do with a stranger like you!
I am thinking about marrying Hinata.
That is why I am no stranger.
Where you two dating?
We are not dating. This is the first time I told about it.
What?
You're really bad at joking! But yeah... it's funny.
Regarding the future,
I'm seriously thinking about it.
Hina!
- Hina? - Wha... What?
- Hina? - Hina!
- Hina?
Hina!
Wh-what happened?
Oh my... Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I don't want to make you worry.
Dealing with Seijiro is already a big problem.
Then suddenly talking about marriage.
Just what is Kiriyama saying? Geez.
It's no good! When I think about Seijiro, my head becomes dizzy!
That man completely manipulates everyone around him.
He always makes himself bizarrely happy
But hey, he's the father of the three of them.
[ Shogi Assembly Hall ]
This is a complete victory of Kiriyama.
Excuse us.
It's Kiriyama 6-dan.
After one more match, the winners will be known.
Since we will setup for the news coverage, please wait for the time being.
Please also wait, Mr Kiriyama.
Okay.
Excuse me.
[ Momo is missing. Looks like our father fetched her at the nursery school. ]
Where is Momo?
She hasn't returned yet.
Have you tried searching her nearby? Like a park or supermarket?
We've search for her for a little, but we've decided to wait until she gets back,
since we know who fetched her.
No, waiting for her is too naive. Let's go to the police.
What?
We know who the suspect is, so it's faster that way!
Suspect...?
He is a suspect! Momo is kidnapped! He's a kidnapper!
Rei!
- Kiriyama? - Kiriyama!
Kiriyama!
Isn't it delicious?
Oh my, what is it now?
We're back. Long time no see.
What are you doing?
What? Ah...
We went to the rooftop amusement park of the department store in front of the station.
Akari, Hinata, do you remember that place? We used to go that place, right?
Only Momo is the one who hasn't go there yet.
Until when will you act like a father?
Momo asked me to come with her...
Don't make Momo as an excuse.
Just what are you planning?
You're really cool, pro shogi player.
You have truly amazing talent and effort.
Hinata did really did catch a great man.
Isn't it great? Even though it's too early, you get married.
I'll be cheering on you.
You've only put me in your calculations as a means to get money, huh?
If you promise to disappear before us if I give you money,
I will give them to you. How much do you need?
What?
And if you prolong it any further, it would positively
be more an unpleasant way of doing things.
When that time comes, it won't be a family court,
but we will meet in a general court.
What is that? A threat?
It would be about the nursing of your wife, and the daughter's, Akari's care.
You're somewhat amazing.
Why do you know so much about people?
Ah, could you be someone who hates having the same family?
Unexpectedly, are you the type who's happiness was taken away by someone else?
It's a waste of time if you're trying to make me angry.
I am different from you. You blame others for your own weakness,
accumulating lies in place, bringing unhappiness on people around you.
and living as if everything is fine. I am not like that!
Even this time, Akari and Hina,
Since you knew that you cannot drive out troubled people, so you took advantage.
That truth is, you don't
care nor love them at all.
I don't want someone like you
who is a trash to go near this family.
Rei.
Even if he's like that, he's still our father.
Hina.
Momo, it's alright.
Kiriyama...
Can you leave for now?
Kiriyama...
Ah, there you are.
Kiriyama, congratulations! It will soon be Lion King's tournament finals!
And the one who will you be fighting will be Goto 9-dan who you didn't fought last year.
You have to win no matter what. Even I'm getting fired up.
What's wrong? You don't seem well.
I'm worried about something else.
But I've just come to a conclusion.
Oh, I see. That's good to hear. Here.
I'll quit school.
What?
Because Shogi is all I have.
There is no point for me to live but to get stronger in shogi.
I don't think that's true.
What would you know?
So you were able to read until Silver General 1-5.
I thought there was someone else.
I bought melons, do you want some?
I want to get the Lion King
from Soya...
So that I would be able to do that, would you do me a favor?
Sure, as long as I can do it.
Leave the key and leave.
What do you mean?
Never come back here.
I got better not thinking about Misako.
I finally
can concentrate on shogi.
All I have is shogi. I have to get stronger...
[ Harunobu Nikaido ]
Hello.
Yeah.
Not really.
No, it's nothing.
Are you having fun?
Are you drunk?
Don't you think shogi brought unhappiness to our family?
If you weren't doing shogi,
Could we have been normal?
My name would not have been Kyoko, right?
Like the Lance piece that can only move forward, Kyoko.
Go to your room and sleep.
Ayumu, who's name come from the Pawn piece, would have been named differently too.
I finally understand. We are cursed by shogi.
Our misfortune was all because of shogi.
Family, dreams, and even the people we like.
Shogi took all of them.
Goto usually use Ranging Rook back in the day.
Maybe it would be better study
to squeeze out a Fortress.
Ah!
What the hell, Kiriyama! What's that move you just omitted?!
We're doing countermeasures of Goto for you, you know!
For now, let's save up the time.
Focus now, focus! Don't get half asleep!
There is only two days left until the Lion King's tournament finals.
Let's try to polish even a little countermeasures to defeat Goto.
Okay.
- Ah... - Oops, oops...
I've been thinking.
- Hmm? - Hm?
It's about Father...
He talked about the future of the three of us
and we've decided to go out with him in the free day.
Could you mean that you'll be living together...
It's alright.
We've decided to move forward a step.
[ Shogi Shrine ]
[ Shogi Assembly Hall ]
Since it's already time,
please start with Goto 9-dan's first move.
Let's have a good game.
Hm?
As expected, Mr Goto used Double Wing Attack.
You're so noisy. Just shut up and watch.
Okay then. We will know who is fit to fight Soya.
Speaking of which, it has only been three years since Kiriyama became pro...
Don't say that.
Let us see how much you've grown, Kiriyama.
Momo! I'm sorry being late.
Now then, let's pleasantly have fun today.
Let's start with Merry-Go-Round, okay?
Merry-Go-Round? That's sounds good. Let's go, let's go. Where would that be?
Just what is this move...
Goto's selling point is being solid...
To think Mr Goto threw away his firmness...
How far did he studied?
Do you remember this state of the game?
It's the state of the game where you hit Rei.
Don't mess with me! Stop making a face that you're actually good!
Stop that!
Stop being conceited, since you're just a zero!
Let go! Stop being conceited!
That time,
you still have a means of winning.
Rei somehow made a check.
But still...
There is still a way for you to win.
Kyoko.
You might have won.
It's because you didn't believe in yourself that you didn't read ahead.
It was only you that had the impression that it's over that you let go of your dream.
Shogi doesn't take away anything from anyone.
That's why, don't give up until the end.
There is surely a way for you to be happy.
I'll support you.
You've only been thinking about food, Momo.
I took a picture of their home.
Wow! We really had such fun.
Right?
We really are very thankful.
What?
Today is the day
we've decided to make the last memory about you.
"Last"?
We cannot live with you. That is the decision us three made.
Why? Don't say such sad thing.
That's because you, Mr Seijiro,
chose to be a father of a different family.
Please take responsibility and live.
"Mr Seijiro"...
Never come and see us again.
There won't be another day that it would be this fun.
Even if you say that, I am your father.
Stop saying such selfish things already.
Selfish things?
It's not so bad to be selfish.
Because I'm making an effort to live better.
There is something wrong if a child hits her parent, isn't it?
I also know that.
But if it's to sever connections with the family,
I will hit you how many times.
Be sure to be happy with your family over there!
Be sure to be always well!
The pace is as expected of an A-Class like Mr Goto.
Though I didn't thought Kiriyama would have bad moves...
What is it, Kiriyama? Are you possessed?!
Hey, is he okay?
Kiriyama, what's wrong?! Hey, Kiriyama!
Hey!
That's right. It was always the darkness.
Clinging so that I can live.
In the darkness was my lifeline.
Living so long in the darkness, I just didn't realized it until now.
You can just use Ranging Rook.
But I'm a Static Rook player.
When I said you treat me, a family restaurant would have been fine.
You have to go to the hospital, right?!
Let's eat!
See you again!
Don't cry. It's indecent.
It was quite...
...intense.
Thank you for the game.
He won.
It was a big reversal.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Ah, excuse me.
Mr Kiriyama!
Yes?
It's Kiriyama.
I...
wanted to protect everyone, but I didn't know the way...
I came to apologize for hurting you.
I'm really sorry.
I was really afraid
for not being able to see you.
Saying as far as I want to be help and saying such boastful things...
I was the one who was given help.
Thank you for coming.
Now, come in.
- Welcome. - Welcome!
Thank you.
Do you know why you lost?
Because you don't cherish me.
You're not as strong as you think you are.
You're eating at the rooftop as always, huh?
Well...
I kinda like this rooftop.
Well, nice breeze blows here.
"This might be a small step for a single human,"
"but it is a great leap of mankind.", I guess.
What is that?
Doesn't matter what it is. Come on, eat.
You sure are eating.
[ Kimono Shop ]
So it will soon be the title matches.
Do you still remember the time when I invited you home?
Yes.
I have been thinking about that day many times until now.
I thought that you lied that time.
But I have stopped worrying about it.
I wasn't wrong.
You like shogi.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it for this long.
That's true.
I like it.
Ayumu.
It's been awhile.
I'm sorry to talk to you all of a sudden. Next time, I'll...
fight with Soya Meijin in the Lion King's tournament.
That's why...
I want all of the family to come and see it.
I'll leave the ticket here.
"Fortunately Plump"
"Daruma"
I wonder if it's almost time for Kiriyama's match.
It would be nice if Rei wins.
It's going to be alright.
Excuse them. Please make way.
