After drinking for an unknown amount of time, Haneda Yasuharu didn’t know if she was drunk or something, but she suddenly put on a serious look and said to Yu Jiang seriously:
"Danye, be my son!"
Yu Jiang: "..."
Sure enough, she was still drunk. Look at Haneda Yasuharu's blushing face. She didn't become this red when she was in love decades ago, right?
"Pa!"
Haneda Ichiyo slapped her husband on the head.
Sure enough, there are still normal people here. No matter what, Mrs. Ichidai would never agree to having a son for no reason.
But the next second——
"Please be more serious about such a serious topic!" After lecturing her husband, who was out of tune after drinking, Haneda Ichiyo became a little at a loss in front of Ikue, "Ahem, um, Danya..." p>
No way? No way? You don’t really want to recognize him as your son, do you??
"Actually, we have had this idea for a long time, but we have never had the chance to express it." Haneda Ichiyo sighed, "Haneda-style shogi needs a successor, and we can't find a more suitable candidate than you."
"It would be nice if you were willing to regard it as a transaction." Yasuharu Haneda added beside him.
After hearing this, the Haneda City Representative wanted to sanction him again, but this time he was avoided by Haneda Yasuharu.
Looking at the old man who is over sixty years old, his face no longer looks casual, as if he has sobered up from drinking.
"Ichidai, it's better to say some things clearly from the beginning. I like Danya, so I have to tell him the pros and cons." Yasuharu Haneda sat up straight.
"Koji is the most talented shogi player I have ever seen before you. He has an unfinished ideal - to achieve the achievement of seven crowns. The seven crowns here do not refer to the eternal seven crowns, but to win the seven crowns at the same time.
Complete all titles.
"It's a pity that he was killed before he could realize this ideal.
"So in this deal, I have only one request for you, use Haneda Danya's name to win the Seven Crowns! In exchange, you will become the adopted son of Ichidai and I, and the Haneda family will do their best to help you succeed. And so on.
A hundred years from now, the Haneda family's property will naturally be yours too."
This transaction is very fair in a sense.
It goes without saying how wealthy the Haneda family is, but one can also imagine the difficulty of achieving the Seven Crowns.
There are seven titles in shogi from Dragon King to Chess Master, each with a title match. Within a year of winning or defending each title match, you can have the title. If you lose the title later, you will be restored to the corresponding rank.
The seven crowns that Yasuharu Haneda mentioned require Yue to hold seven titles at the same time. This is not an easy task, at least no one has been able to do it until now.
In a sense, the reason is because Yu Jiang is very confident in his own strength, and he feels that winning the seventh crown is within his grasp.
What he needs to consider now is whether he wants to become Haneda Danya and really be tied to the Haneda family.
Seeing that Ikue did not agree immediately, Haneda Ichiro said softly: "The Haneda family looks prosperous and can be regarded as a traditional shogi family. But from Kang Qing's grandfather to him, several generations of Haneda have not achieved any brilliant achievements. I remember
Koji once said that he would bring the unprecedented title of Seventh Crown Champion back to the Haneda family.
"He failed. We thought about giving up the Haneda-ryu legacy for a long time until you appeared."
There was some excitement in Haneda Ichiro's eyes, "Tanya, you gave us hope. So I also hope that you can inherit the Haneda family and become Haneda Danya."
If they hadn't known that Shibata Tanya's parents had died long ago, perhaps the Haneda couple would not have made this somewhat stringent request.
And if it hadn't been for Shibata Tanya taking away the king's shogi as a souvenir, perhaps Haneda Yasuharu wouldn't have been able to completely make up his mind to accept him as his son.
In this case, Yu Jiang has no intention of declining.
But he said: "I agree to the teacher's request and I will register as a professional chess player under the name Haneda Danya. No one knows what will happen in the future, but I will definitely work hard for the title of Seventh Crown Champion. Please rest assured about this." "It's just..."
Upon hearing this, the Haneda couple immediately became nervous.
Yu Jiang smiled: "It's just that I don't really want to change my name. Legally... let me use the name I'm used to."
"This..."
Haneda Yasuharu and Haneda Ichiro looked at each other.
They all know what this means.
"Have you really thought about it?" Yasuharu Haneda asked seriously.
"Yeah, I've thought about it." Yu Jiang nodded lightly.
Haneda Yasuharu didn't say anything more, just nodded and said: "Then tomorrow we will go to the award club to register as a professional chess player."
This shocked Yu Jiang: "Register directly? Shouldn't you first pass the assessment of the training club, enter the training club and start practicing as a chess player, and then participate in the assessment of the new chess player award meeting when you reach a certain level?"
He had a detailed understanding of Japan's professional shogi system in advance, and logically there should be no surprises.
Hearing this, Yasuharu Haneda and Ichiyo Haneda laughed together.
"Danye, although I said that the Haneda family is in decline, it is not in such a state of decline." The Haneda City Representative covered his face and chuckled, "Kang Qing can still get a recommendation place in a mere reward club."
Going through the back door is something that you have no choice but to tolerate no matter what field you are in.
Since there is a back door available, Yu Jiang will certainly not refuse.
He and Yasuharu Haneda decided on a time to meet tomorrow, and said goodbye to the Hanedas on the pretext of catching the last train.
Haneda Yasuharu did not try to persuade him to stay, but he and his wife sent Yujiang out of the door together.
"Just send him here. Teacher, you and your wife, please be careful of catching cold." Yu Jiang politely declined the two old men's request to send him to the station and embarked on his way home alone.
Mr. and Mrs. Haneda stood at the door of their home, looking at Yu Jiang’s retreating figure.
"Hey, old man." Haneda Ichiyo suddenly spoke, "The Haneda family, which you are so proud of, seems to be looked down upon by others."
"Who is he? From tomorrow on, he will be Haneda Danya!"
"It's just shogi!"
"Shogi is temporary. The more he behaves like this, the more confident I am to leave the Haneda family to him."
"I don't know who suspected Dan of poisoning me in the first place. I really don't know how some people's imaginations can be so big." Ichiyo Haneda muttered, turned around, and walked toward the main house with his hands behind his back.
Yasuharu Haneda hurriedly followed, with a hint of embarrassment after being exposed on her face: "Hey! Old lady! Do you believe that the pill I taught you can really win the Seventh Crown?"
"Dan also won seven championships based on his own talent. What does that have to do with you?"
"Without me, would he be able to enter the professional game..."
The voices of the two old men bickering became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the night.
What Danya Shibata refused was the inheritance rights of the entire Haneda family. This incident alone was enough to prove his character.
Anyway, Haneda Yasuharu likes him more and more now.
He is already looking forward to the expressions of those old men when Danya Haneda enters the professional arena!
