Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

The TV reporter briefly introduced Chi Feichi's information, and went to the sidelines with the cameraman to interview Chi Feichi.

"Mr. Chi, excuse me, I would like to ask you a few questions about this competition, is that okay?"

"Of course."

Dr. Agasa's house.

All the members of the Junior Detective Team sat on the sofa, eating snacks while watching the live broadcast of the celebrity title battle on TV.

When Huiyuan Ai heard the host mention Chi Feichi, she turned her eyes to the TV. When she saw Chi Feichi's calm and composed face appear in front of the camera, her mouth corners raised, and a subtle sense of pride arose in her heart.

Looking around, her brother was the most handsome in the audience.

Although it was a shogi competition scene and the theme was shogi competition, it was not right for her to focus on appearance. Although her brother still had a cold expression and did not look friendly at all, but...

The fact is that her brother is the most handsome!

Yuanta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko stared at the TV and exclaimed excitedly.

"Brother Chi is wearing a kimono today!"

"So handsome!"

"Is he going to the game to cheer for Mr. Haneda?"

Dr. Agasa brought the cut fruit to the coffee table, turned his head to look at the TV, and noticed Chi Feichi's clothes at the first time.

The semi-formal and formal men's formal kimonos are based on the daily kimonos, with the addition of haori and hakama. The hakama is usually the horse hakama commonly seen in kendo competitions.

Compared to daily kimonos, men's formal kimonos pursue simplicity more, usually with low-key colors such as black, white, gray, and dark blue. There will be no patterns on the haori. Even if there are patterns, they will be hidden on the close-fitting side, with the main idea of ​​"I know there are patterns, it doesn't matter whether others can see it."

In addition, the outer garments of men's formal kimonos are rarely designed to be fancy. Most of them are solid colors and striped patterns. If someone wears fancy clothes, it is easy for traditional people to think that they are not solemn enough. Some patterns can be designed on the hakama, but they are basically linear patterns or repeated small patterns.

The haori on Chi Feichi does not have a family crest pattern. It is a quasi-dress. The clothing style is not unconventional. The overall color is also mainly low-saturation colors. The fabric has no fancy patterns. Everything is in line with tradition, but...

The color is relatively rare.

A pure purple-black outer garment, a pure gray-purple haori, and the color of the horse hakama is what Japan calls silver mouse color, that is, silver gray, with a white "Qinghai wave" pattern on the hakama.

In fact, in the matching of men's formal kimonos, it is very common to match dark outer garments with light hakama, or light outer garments with dark hakama. Such a combination has a strong color contrast, looks more eye-catching, and people will also look more energetic, which is more suitable for young people.

The same is true for Chi Feichi's outfit. The colors of the upper and lower body clothes are different in depth, which makes him look energetic. At the same time, because the saturation of the clothes is relatively low, it does not look very abrupt.

Dr. Agasa looked at Chi Feichi's clothes and couldn't help but take a closer look.

When the children saw this outfit, they probably just thought that Feichi looked good in it, but when he looked at it, he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

If you say that the color of this outfit is trendy and eye-catching, that's right. Compared with the blue-gray, green-gray, dark gray, and black outerwear worn by those people at the scene, the purple-black outerwear is really special, and the ermine-colored hakama is not common. But if you say that this outfit is high-profile, it doesn't seem to be. After all, this outfit is mainly solid color, and even the only patterned hakama has a pattern close to dark pattern. In addition, the overall saturation of the clothes is low, and it is definitely not fancy or high-profile...

If you have to say, this outfit gives people the feeling that: at first glance, it is a bit anti-traditional, but if you look closely, it is very traditional. At first glance, it is conspicuous, but if you look closely, it is not high-profile. At first glance, the color contrast between the upper and lower body is strong, but if you look closely, the two colors are very harmonious.

It sounds contradictory, but the overall look of the clothes is not so contradictory...It's like Schrödinger's clothes?

It makes him want to study it.

...

Shihe Hotel, main stadium.

Chi Feichi is interviewed by a reporter from Nichimi TV.

"I heard that you and Haneda Rokukan are friends in private. Is this the reason why Umbrella suddenly sponsored the celebrity title match this time?"

"There is indeed a reason in this regard, but Umbrella not only sponsored this celebrity title match, but also sponsored the shogi ranking competition and title match held in the next two years."

"Then can I understand that the winning prize of the shogi competition in the next year is expected to be higher than the previous winning prize?"

"Yes," Chi Feichi replied calmly, "regardless of whether there will be other sponsors for these competitions, Umbrella will ensure that the winning prize of the competition will be higher than before."

In order to get this sponsorship opportunity, Umbrella signed a sponsorship agreement for many competitions with the Shogi Competition Association. In this case, he might as well take the opportunity to announce this matter. If he speaks better, it can also help Umbrella accumulate a good reputation in the Shogi circle.

Is it because of friends that the prize money of this competition is pushed up? No, they Umbrella clearly support the development of the Shogi profession and provide benefits to Shogi professional players. It is for a lofty goal that they sponsor the competition!

"This is definitely good news for professional shogi players. It should inspire more players to participate in shogi competitions, right? At that time, some very talented players may emerge, making shogi competitions more exciting. It's really exciting to think about it," the female host cleverly hinted that 'Umbrella will promote the development of shogi profession', but she didn't say it too deliberately or too obviously, and soon asked with a smile, "However, will Umbrella's doing this increase the pressure on Haneda Six Crowns? If more players are motivated and work harder to participate in shogi ranking competitions and title battles, Haneda Six Crowns will have to face more challenges, right? Are you worried about being complained by him?"

"With his personality, I think he will be happy because of the more challenges," Chi Feichi said calmly, "He won't Blame me for this kind of thing."

"That's right. As a shogi player, Haneda Rokukan must have been accustomed to facing challenges and breaking through himself. This is also a valuable quality that excellent shogi players have honed through challenges. They are not afraid of challenges," the female host followed Chi Feichi's words and implicitly praised Haneda Hideyoshi, and also implicitly praised most of the players, and continued to ask, "Speaking of this competition, I actually have another question to ask. Do you have confidence that Haneda Rokukan will win the title of Meijin and become the seven-time champion? In other words, who do you think will win this competition, Haneda Rokukan or the current Meijin?"

The previous questions were all within the framework that Chi Feichi had communicated with the program producer last night, but this question was the only one that the two had not discussed before.

Chi Feichi could see that the female host asked this question just improvised.

Nichimizu TV, THK, and Umbrella Network have long formed multiple interest ties. If the female host didn't want to lose her job, she wouldn't have made things difficult for him during the interview. Since the female host chose to ask, as long as his answer was not particularly bad, the female host should be able to make it up.

Moreover, it is not difficult to answer this question. Chi Feichi will not feel embarrassed. He responded, "Mr. Haneda and the current celebrity are both very powerful chess players. With their shogi levels, if one of them is a little careless, he may lose to the other. So, before the end of the game, I can't judge who will win, but as a friend, I definitely hope that Mr. Haneda can win."

The female host asked this question on a whim. Seeing Chi Feichi answer it, she was secretly relieved. She didn't choose a formal topic to ask again. She smiled and said, "So, during Haneda's six crowns preparing for this competition, did you say anything encouraging to him?"

Chi Feichi: "It seems not..."

Female host: "?"

Huh? Can this question be answered like this?

"I had already decided to go to the scene to cheer for him," Chi Feichi continued, "so I don't need to say more words of encouragement."

Since the host has gone beyond the framework, it's okay for him to express himself freely, right?

"I see, friends coming to the scene to cheer for him is the best encouragement!" The female host smiled and took the opportunity to end the interview while calculating the time in her mind, "Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Before the game starts, I still need to ask Mr. Konggu a few questions, so I won't bother you for now."
