In the middle of the journey. While still in the woods.
『Kohon, Kohon… Mm, Kohon…』
Tre’ainar was next to , coughing unnaturally.
And he’s glancing sideways at .
『Oi, child… the Go board that was purchased in town earlier…. you did not forget it, did you?』
“Agh”
By the way, how many tis have you asked this question?
I bought a portable, foldable and easy-to-carry Go board as a souvenir in the town of Honeyborough.
Tre’ainar seems to be very concerned about it.
No, I’m not bothered by it. It is likely he’s appealing to . I’m not so shallow in my relationship with this guy that I don’t understand that.
“…… wanna take a break… to play a ga?”
『Fah!』
At that mont, Tre’ainar’s eyes sparkled as the Majesty of the Great Demon King collapsed.
『I shall play you! Umm, it cannot be helped, child. Um, I will play you! Co on, let us play it! Let us play it right away!』
After playing a ga of Go for the first ti in over a dozen years, seems he’s been dying to play again.
Well, for soone who couldn’t interact with the world, his only form of entertainnt was to see the scenery in front of him through , read with , chat with , and guide .
And he’s been like this since he realized that he could play Go with .
“Jeez, I’m the only one who can do it…”
He’s so happy, and I can’t refuse to play with him like that.
I sat on the ground in the forest, opened the Go board, and lined up the pieces.
In the anti, because I line up the stones for two people, I put the Go pieces on both sides, but I made Tre’ainar sit face-to-face in order to create the atmosphere of a ga.
『Co on, child. You may place as many pieces as you will. I shall have you enjoy the Demon King’s move!』
Tre’ainar looked excited with his arms folded. It’s a little annoying.
I can place as many pieces as I want. In Go, if there is too much difference in ability, one is allowed to place extra pieces first as a handicap. Which ans that there is that much difference in ability between Trainer and .
However, it pissed off when he said it so blatantly.
“I don’t want to. I can play a little, too, right?”
『Nu, is that so? Well…… in that case…』
“So, let’s go! Also, the first move is mine!”
To be honest, I’m not terribly good at Go, but having been trained by Sadiz for a long ti, I think I’m a decent player.
Of course, I can’t say that I’m stronger than Shinobu from the other day, and I don’t think I can beat Tre’ainar, but I was so frustrated that I thought I should at least play the first ga with no handicap.
“Co on, instruct .”
『Well, then… Lower left, stars』
Well, I was hoping that since it’s Tre’ainar, he’d play without a handicap and whip into shape… I thought, but…
“Ora”
『Upper right, star』
“Hmm!”
『Lower left Kosumi───────』
It was only a few minutes from the start.
I’ve only played a few moves yet.
To be clear, Go is a ga that uses dozens of moves to advance….
“—..re…der…”
『Hmm? Child ~ I can not hear you~? What was that~? If you do not speak clearly~, I cannot hear ?.』
“Ha!”
A few minutes from the start, already Tre’ainar was grinning with a smug face after a few moves.
The next mont, I was yelling.
“I?SU?REN?DER you darn idiot! You, what are you playing without rcy!”
『Oh, good heavens, do not get so heated.』
“Usually, you would go easy on ! No, I’m the one who said no handicap! But there’s a limit!”
My thoughts were naive. After Shinobu, it’s his first ti playing in a long ti, so Tre’ainar ruthlessly cut down.
“To invite and kill instantly… I don’t think I can win.”
『Well, now now, settle down, child. Why not continue playing this ga a little longer?』
“Huh?”
When I hung my head with sulky feelings, Tre’ainar made a remark that sounded like whipping a corpse under these circumstances.
Moreover, that is……
“Wait a minute, continue this? What are you going to do with this play? No matter how much I can do to this point, even I can understand that winning is not possible anymore.”
『Even if you cannot, I can.』
“… ha? No way, how in the …”
『Let us exchange your pieces with mine. I shall accept this super-inferior situation as a handicap.』
“What’d you say?”
It was such a ridiculous suggestion but I thought I shouldn’t make fun of it either.
It’s true that I’m overwhelmingly weaker than Tre’ainar, but it’s impossible to reverse from such an already annihilated situation.
But……
“Ha? Y-you’re looking down on ! Don’t joke around, that is definitely impossible ─────”
I didn’t know yet.
That the opponent was the omnipotent and omniscient Great Demon King.
No matter how many hours, days, months, or years it took , he would strike a string of unthinkable moves one after another.
And a few minutes later ────
“…… Never again…… I’m done…… I’ll never play you again…. Damn it….”
From the situation where I was cut off and surrendered, Tre’ainar turned it around and I was cut off again.
At this point, I felt ridiculous in many ways.
I shed tears.
I overturned the board and slept unfaithfully on the spot.
『Oh, dear! D, did I overdo it? Say, child, once again! Hear? One more ti! I will adjust it just right this ti, will I not? Once more.』
“…… No way…… I’m going to bed… I can’t play Go any more…”
『Nuah! Oh, tis quite cruel! T-tis so. I shall teach you. Huh? How about it? Huh?』
Thus, for a while, Go had beco traumatic to .
Woah! Okay, dude needs to learn restraint. Reminds of when I would wreck my siblings at Tekken, while holding the controller with one hand. They never played again. And also when I played Tekken online…. And got wrecked… I never tried that again.
