7 Chapter 6: Nothing More Than That.

In a corner by the window far from the main venue, Accelerator was absent-mindedly chatting with Shokuhou Misaki.

"Hello, Misaki-chan."

"Ara~ Hello, Yaoyorozu."

A black-haired girl slowly approached, and they chatted familiarly with Shokuhou Misaki at their table.

It was Yaoyorozu Momo, the daughter of the prestigious Yaoyorozu family. Her face was pretty, her figure was good, not inferior to any adult, and her devilish curves were just right under the contrast of the blue dress, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Even Accelerator took an extra look, and this behavior was naturally seen by Shokuhou Misaki.

"It's the first time I've seen Misaki with a male other than your uncle." (laughs)

"If you don't mind, why not satisfy a little curiosity of a friend, how about it?"

"Hmph, don't want to, Yaoyorozu, you don't know, this guy's gaze went down thirty centimeters when he saw you."

Shokuhou Misaki made a cute face at Accelerator.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at women with appreciative eyes."

"Misaki-chan, are you jealous? You look cute."

Yaoyorozu Momo, who exudes an elegant and elegant atmosphere all over her body, is no different from a general girl when she gossips.

"I'm not! It doesn't exist!"

Shokuhou refused verbally, but she was unexpectedly a little happy in her heart, but that doesn't mean she would admit to being jealous.

And to be honest, she is very envious of Yaoyorozu Momo's figure now. Everyone is doing yoga, body line training, and nutrition is all taken care of by the same teacher! How can it exceed Dora!

"This kind of guy, I don't care about him, he's called Accelerator."

"Oh? Accelerator-kun, right? I remember he came as a foster son representing Endeavor?"

"I'm not his foster son, we're just in a cooperative relationship, for him it's just pure work, if it wasn't for his pot, I wouldn't have to come here to kill time."

"It's a complicated relationship, although it's a bit impolite for me to say, but this kind of birthday banquet seems to be quite boring for people of our age."

"After all, the main activities are already over, and it's the parents' turn next, I can leave freely."

"How about, please leave with me? There's already someone waiting for me over there."

"And I think she and Accelerator-kun will definitely get along."

"Who is she, but is it going over there?"

"Chat and play chess? Okay~"

"Yes, as for who she is, please allow me to sell a pass to Accelerator-kun."

Yaoyorozu Momo showed a playful smile to the two of them.

"Okay, since the birthday girl has spoken, we'll agree."

"After all, someone has been impatient here for a long time, it's not bad to go over there and relax."

Shokuhou Misaki, as a psychologist, is very clear that so far, Accelerator's favorability is not suitable for two people to stay in one place for too long, this will backfire.

So, she didn't wait for Accelerator to speak and pulled him to follow Yaoyorozu, it seems that she didn't want to give him a chance to refuse.

The three of them came to a Japanese-style room that was not particularly large. As soon as they entered the door, they could see the green tatami mats and a large bookshelf next to it, as well as works similar to flower arrangement.

There was already a girl in a kimono sitting on a cushion in the room, with a shogi board in front of her, as if she was waiting for Yaoyorozu Momo.

This girl had a head of soft long hair that was red on the left and white on the right, and she was wearing a cute pink bow on the back. Her face was delicate and beautiful, not inferior to Shokuhou Misaki and Yaoyorozu. There was a circle of burn marks around her left eye, but even such scars did not affect the overall beauty, but rather gave people a sense of distance from the iceberg beauty with her cold eyes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Todoroki-san."

"I'm back, let's continue our game."

Todoroki? Just hearing the name gave Accelerator a bad feeling, it seemed like his choices today were all bad.

"Eh, it's Todoroki-san?"

Shokuhou was also somewhat surprised at the appearance of this girl, after all, wasn't Accelerator the representative of Endeavor this time?

"Yaoyorozu, you're finally back."

"Eh, Misaki is here too? Oh! Yaoyorozu actually went to find reinforcements in the middle of the game!"

The girl first saw Yaoyorozu and Shokuhou, and showed a teasing smile.

Then, she saw Accelerator.

The atmosphere began to change, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, even the surrounding air began to become a bit cold, the temperature in the room visibly dropped.

Seeing this scene, Yaoyorozu Momo thought the girl had misunderstood and began to explain in a flustered manner.

"It's not reinforcements! I've always been unable to beat you in chess, Todoroki!"

"Just now, I received a notice from the servant saying that Misaki was chatting with a boy, I was a little concerned so I left! Todoroki, you misunderstood!"

"You see, this person behind me, is Accelerator-kun who was sitting at the same table with Misaki."

Accelerator found that Yaoyorozu was a bit naive, it seemed that she didn't understand the situation, the reason for the change in the girl named Todoroki Shoto was definitely him, the high probability was because he became his guardian Endeavor, without thinking about it, he knew this was probably a family problem left by Endeavor.

"I know him."

"That person's newly adopted son, how could I not know such a famous name?"

Yaoyorozu had a face full of question marks, Shokuhou Misaki, who roughly understood the reason, was almost laughing her stomach out, she was very clear about one of her friends, Todoroki Shoto's great resentment towards her father, Accelerator was really shot while lying down.

As the NO.2 hero and a prestigious Endeavor, he should have received two invitations, one is Accelerator representing him to attend the banquet, and the other is Todoroki Shoto representing the prestigious Todoroki family.

At this time, Accelerator also remembered the information he had read, this girl named Todoroki Shoto was the daughter of his guardian Endeavor, Endeavor's most proud daughter, but because of their family problems, Endeavor's own children were very resistant to him.

Although Shokuhou criticized Accelerator's communication skills, in Accelerator's heart, Endeavor's communication skills were worse than his, if Accelerator said he was disdainful, Endeavor was probably too much of a macho and brutal muscle man to do it.

"Besides, my relationship with Endeavor is not what you imagine, I don't want to increase my workload because of his family problems."

Seeing the girl looking like she was going to start a fight here, in order to avoid meaningless workload, according to the information on the data card he had read before, Accelerator said.

"Fighting in a place like this is not what a hero does, Todoroki Shoto."

"I didn't agree to such a thing, it's just a simple matter of work."

Todoroki Shoto looked at Accelerator, who didn't care at all, and sneered.

"Hehe, work reasons, you really sounds just like him."

"Please, can you not arbitrarily put yourself in the victim's position?"

"Your and your family's problems with Endeavor, it's none of my business, I have no interest at all, understand?"

"You want to run away just because it's none of your business? It's really his style."

To be honest, Accelerator was a bit impatient, but Shokuhou Misaki and Yaoyorozu Momo were still standing by his side. If he were to confront Todoroki Shoto here, he knew without thinking that things would become very troublesome.

Shokuhou Misaki couldn't stand it anymore, Todoroki was clearly not in a good state today, if she let it go on like this, the situation would escalate.

"Todoroki-san, don't forget that today is Yaoyorozu's birthday! Control your emotions!"

Only then did Todoroki remember the purpose of coming here today, she apologized to Yaoyorozu, who was at a loss on the side, with a black face, and then did something that none of the other three had expected.

She wanted to play shogi with Accelerator, since there was no chance to fight now, why not defeat him with shogi here today, let him pay the price for his arrogance, and make Endeavor, who chose him, lose face.

"If you can't fight, then playing chess shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Or are you saying that as a man, you dare not accept the challenge?"

Looking at Todoroki Shoto, who was arrogant with a mocking expression, Accelerator grinned, showing a slightly twisted smile, he of course knew that the other party must have come prepared.

But he was Accelerator, fearless of any challenge.

"It's just a game of chess, this kind of thing that I've been tired of playing since I was seven years old, since you're so confident, then try to crush me!"

"You dare to say it's just a game, you will pay for this."

Todoroki Shoto's eyes were burning with the flames of fighting spirit, the room could once again feel the temperature dropping, she was enduring her own anger.

"Be careful not to lose and go back crying to your (harmonious) mother?

"Lovely Miss Todoroki Shoto."

Shokuhou Misaki's crazy eyes hinted at Accelerator not to accept, you know, in District 11, shogi is a very popular game of chess, it is very shameful for men to be weaker than women.

In the professional world of chess, there is also a huge gap between male professional players and female professional players, it is difficult for female professional players to compete with male professional players, this is common sense in District 11.

However, Todoroki Shoto, Yaoyorozu Momo, Shokuhou Misaki and other daughters of prestigious families basically have a high level of achievement in the game of chess.

Among the three of them, Todoroki Shoto is the best without using Quirk, she is the named disciple of Kiyoshi Kiyoshi, her senior sister Kusilver, is the undefeated myth of female professional chess players, the highest title holder of "Queen" and "Female Throne", and even such a professional female professional chess player, Todoroki Shoto can still have about 40% win rate in private games with her senior sister, which shows her high talent and strong chess power.

Then, the shogi game between Accelerator and Todoroki Shoto began.

In less than ten minutes, three games of shogi were over, Shokuhou and Yaoyorozu still didn't understand the first two games, the last game of Todoroki Shoto's defeat had arrived.

Three to zero, a big score crush.

The victory was decided, for Accelerator, it was a boring victory that was easy to achieve.

Todoroki Shoto, the chess piece in her hand, never landed on the chessboard in the end, she couldn't even drop it.

Even though she was learning chess as a young lady, her talent was unquestionable, she had lost before, and she had experienced a crushing defeat.

But even if it was her senior sister or her master, she could still clearly catch some mistakes, no matter what, she could at least confront for a while, but in these three games, this situation never happened.

The person in front of her, as a player, she even deeply doubted that every step she took did not jump out of his calculations.

His style of play, like a cold machine, efficient, deadly, precise, easily tore her layout to pieces, leaving no armor.

"Even if it's just a game, you're nothing more than that, you're really not a match, Miss Todoroki Shoto, huh?"

"I will challenge you again, whether it's the path of a hero or the path of chess, I promise."

Then Todoroki Shoto apologized to Yaoyorozu with a gloomy face and left the room, leaving Shokuhou with a smirk and Yaoyorozu helpless.

Thanks to Todoroki Shoto, Accelerator also successfully found a reason to leave here, the troublesome day finally ended.
