The boy Shotaro doesn't seem very interested in shogi itself, but rather in appearing on TV...? It's bizarre that neither of them seems really interested in the game itself. It seems like that guy (was it their dad?) at the beginning of the chapter was "cursing" them by putting his hand on their heads as he left~

Really hate that woman. It's fine to have a dream but have a back up plan. Such a horrible person. She's probably desperate to be right and have a famous person come from her school but seems like she's constantly having failures as well
