Today is a day of rest for the entire Grey Castle Territory, and also the day of the first Gomoku tournament.
With the implementation of Ed's " Summer Coolness Plan," the system of working six days and resting one day has gradually become the norm in the territory.
You can use this day to do whatever you want. For example, come and watch the territory's first Gomoku tournament.
Taoyuan Village today Statue Square was packed with people. This was the first time the territory had ever been this lively. In the past, there weren't many people at the bonfire parties, and everyone was relatively reserved.
Things are different now. The villagers in the square are enthusiastically discussing things related to the upcoming Gomoku competition.
"How can you be so ungrateful? I've already been avoiding you, and you still come this way?"
It's said that enemies are destined to meet. Villager Ding was very unhappy with Villager A standing next to him, but there was nothing he could do. The cost of fighting was too high, and he couldn't afford it.
"I can be wherever I want, it's none of your business!" Villager A's tone was not very good, clearly the anger from a few days ago had not yet subsided, and the grudge between the two still existed.
"Okay, I'll go over there, you can have this place." Villager Ding had no choice but to move away from him.
Villager Ding arrived at the children's table, where the children were playing Gomoku on the ground. Villager Ding glanced in the direction of Villager A, thankfully he hadn't followed.
" Oak Barrel, you're quite good at chess for your age!" Villager Ding couldn't help but praise after watching the game for a while.
Oak Barrel looked up, then looked around. "Of course, you think I'm Elm Stump's Elm Stump Head."
"hehe!"
Villager Ding chuckled. In the Taoyuan Village internal competition, Oak Barrel had defeated Villager A. He thought Oak Barrel's victory over Villager A was simply due to Villager A's stupidity; he couldn't even beat a child like Oak Barrel. It was astonishing that among the ten participants from Taoyuan Village, there was a child like Oak Barrel.
"Heh, don't be too proud. That stupid guy doesn't know how to play chess at all. You'd better pray you don't run into me in the next match, or I'll show you what real skill is."
"Doesn't that incredibly stupid guy have a name? I think he's quite good; it took us a long time to decide the winner."
Oak Barrel's chubby body is quite adorable, and he speaks very clearly. He has changed a lot compared to the previous year.
"Really? It doesn't matter if he has a name or not. I haven't found anything special about him, except that he lost to you, kid. I haven't found anything commendable about him yet."
Villager Ding spoke eloquently, sharing his views on Villager A.
"Really? That incredibly stupid guy said that your hen laid eggs, and his rooster also helped. And now you're saying he has nothing to be proud of?"
Oak Barrel wore an incredulous expression.
"That's utter nonsense! Does he think he's the only one with a rooster, and I don't have one at home?"
Villager Ding seems to have lost his wisdom again.
"I don't know. Maybe his rooster sneaked into your house."
Oak Barrel's chubby little mouth was as sweet as honey, and Villager Ding was overjoyed by what he said.
"Heh, next time his rooster won't come back alive," Villager Ding said through gritted teeth.
"Sigh! It's really hard to be a good chicken!" Oak Barrel sighed.
"What do you know, you little brat?"
Villager Ding glared at Oak Barrel and quickly left the troublesome place.
"The lord is here! The lord is here!" Someone saw Ed arrive at the square, and the square immediately became even more lively.
Ed's arrival means the match is about to begin.
