Waya is amazingly astute at getting as close as 'You're Sai's student and were standing right behind him'.

The 'is Shindou Sai?' issue puts Waya off balance for the game right before this conversation and then Hikaru's next opponent gets worried about his victory over Waya. In fact theres a lot overall about psychological advange of one sort or another in this volume.

Seeing Hikaru play fast ans loose with truth is fassinating to watch, if a bit harrowing...

Waya is the one person who can figure it out if Hikaru slips up somewhere. Akira is by now sure Hikaru is not Sai. Odd yes, but Sai? No.
Akira has moved onto obsessing about Hikaru for Hikaru. I think...
