From this perspective, Kamiyagawa was even less willing to see Onizuka transform into Toyotama-hime.
Even though Toyotama-hime stood on Takamagahara's side and harbored goodwill toward Kyojin Shrine, which worshipped her.
But her current whereabouts were unknown.
Who knew what unexpected mishaps might occur in the future.
Kamiyagawa disliked this feeling of uncertainty and partial lack of control.
"I need to find a path forward for Hotaru," he thought. "But at the very least, I need to officially become Arajin first, so I can have the experience to guide her properly."
Then—
Snap.
The game piece touched the board, making a soft sound.
The Medicine Seller hummed slightly, his voice laced with unrestrained pride. "I win."
Looking at one corner of the board, the Medicine Seller's white pieces were unopposed, forming an uninterrupted line of four.
Kamiyagawa: …
Apparently, not only was he clueless about the strategy of Go, but he had also never played Gomoku properly before.
