The 91st Hulic Cup Kisei Holy Match 5th match starts on Monday, June 8, 2020. Fujii Nandan won the 1st and 2nd stations and put a check on the title, but Kisei Watanabe won the 3rd station.

In the beginning of the 4th station, the same movement as the 2nd station was used, and in the form of 'Ai Yakura', it was the third Yakura battle in this game of holy chess.

After that, Kisei Watanabe chose a different form of hand than the second station.

However, in the final stage, Kiyoshi Watanabe reduced his holding time and became a painful shogi.

In the end, Fujii Nandan surpassed Watanabe Kisei's attack, and Watanabe Kisei finished the game. Fujii Nandan won with 110 moves.

Fujii Nandan was born on July 19, 2002, and won the title at the age of 17 years and 11 months, which will celebrate her birthday three days later. This is a record-breaking record for the youngest title that Nobuyuki Yashiki 9th Dan won Seisei Nakahara at the age of 18 years and 6 months in the 68th Ki Seisen, and became the first title holder for an active high school student.

The press conference was broadcast on YouTube.

Shiro Shiratori, the author of the light novel 'Ryuou's Work!', is on Twitter because the setting of 'Active High School Title Holder', which was said to be 'impossible', has become a reality due to the acquisition of Kisei by Fujii Nandan. The title is 'non-fiction writer'.



As you can see in the tweet, 13 volumes will be released on August 6, 2020, and 14 volumes will be released in February 2021, but Fujii Nandan has fought the seventh battle of the throne with Kimura one king. Since it is in the middle of being on the way, and because the battle for the Dragon King is ahead, I do not know at all what the situation is as of the 14th volume.

Nikkatsu Watanabe updated the blog and recalled that the 82nd hand, '△8 Rokukei,' was the one that I couldn't read.
