Provocation

[Impression]

Shion and her foster parents went to visit Kyoutarou’s grave. Kyoutarou was the one who thought Shion how to play shougi and found out that Shion played very skillfully. He competed against Hani to be the Meijin, but soon died when Hani was about to lift the final piece meaning Kyoutarou’s defeat.

Our mysterious blond dude has finally show his face. He is Hani’s little brother, Satoru.

Satoru has the same necklace the Shion has, even if one is thicker than the other. Shion’s is the left and Satoru’s is the right.

Ayumi’s father is an ass who steals his own son’s money. That money is for his ex-wife who needs an operation to stay alive. Ayumi should have beat up his dad like he did with that stalker who was stalking Shion, but no his dad get away with it. Just continuing to play shougi to grow stronger.

Another thing is there seems to be a resemblance between the murderer that killed Shion’s parents and Satoru. When the police were questioning Shion about the murderer, she remember that he had beautiful fingers. When she said that, it show Satoru’s hands hinting that he could have killed Shion’s parents. But she doubted herself because her foster father also has beautiful fingers.

Saori and Shion go at each other in shougi for the next episode. Saori’s way of playing changed as the anime went by, but could she match up to Shion or beat her? Whats with the evil smirk on Satoru? Maybe he is the killer?
