I’m having a three-ga match against giddo-san…… After a ten-minute break, the next ga we’ll be having will be the second match.
{ Now then, the challenger won the first match, contrary to the prediction in favor of the War King…… Analyst Fate-san, this is an unpleasant developnt for giddo-san, isn’t it? }
{ You’re right. I think winning the first match is pretty big for both of our participants. With his defeat, War King couldn’t afford to lose in the next match anymore…… On the other hand, Kai-chan can still lose once, so ntally
-speaking, he can still be composed for the mont. }
I’m actually damaged ntally pretty much, you know…… I don’t want to fight anyone in an art competition ever again. A new black history has been created at this mont.
{ Hmmm. If this were a story, this would be the ti where giddo-san wins the match and leads it to the final match. As the live comntator, that situation would be more exciting for the audience, so I’d like to see this lead to the final battle if possible. }
{ Hmmm. For though, the sooner this event ends, the better~~ ……By the way, No-chan? That art sculpture Kai-chan made earlier…… Can I have that? }
Fate-saaaaaan!? Stop that! Seriously, please stop that! Why the heck are you trying to have my black history for take out!? No, that’s a big no!
{ Ahh~~ About that, there’s actually a lot of people requesting it…… After their match ends, a “rock-paper-scissors tournant” will actually be conducted, and the winner can get that item. }
Oiiiiii! Why the heck did you turn that monstrosity into a prize without my permission!? Oi, the red gorilla over there…… What’s with the thumbs up? Stop with those eyes that seem to say that “there are a lot of people with eyes for good things here”!
I an, who the heck would even want sothing like that!?
{ Ehh~~ Incidentally, the people who have announced their participation would be…… Underworld King, Kuromueina-san and Death King, Isis-san…… It seems like World King, Lillywood-san is also joining…… Well, it seems like she’s just brought along by Isis-san. There’s also God of Life and God of Space and Ti…… It seems like these two have been told to join by God of Creation-sama. }
{ By the way, I was just thinking about it, but No-chan, you just called by my na earlier, didn’t you? Well, it isn’t actually that much of a problem but…… }
{ I was careless. I’m sorry, I’ll go treat you sothing next ti. Errr, continuing what I was saying earlier. There’s Archlesia Empire’s Emperor Chris-san, Hydra Kingdom’s King Laguna-san, a Duchess from Symphonia Kingdom, Lilia-san, and many others. Also, it seems like a “mysterious angel who killed 90% of people she just talked to” is also joining…… Fyuu~ Those are quite the big nas I ntioned there. }
{ ……Amazing. It’s as if they ca here to join a world-ending boss rush. }
There were so many of them!? Wait…… What in the world are all of you doing…… Just thinking about how that thing is going on the hands of soone I know makes it feel like I’m in hell, you know!?
Also, Eden-san!? What the heck are you doing!?
{ ……Well, we’ll get to those details later. Let’s get started on the second match! }
……How the heck did this happen? No, unnn. Let’s just think about it later…… Or rather, let’s just participate in that rock-paper-scissors tournant later. I need to stop any negative legacies from falling into the hands of others at all costs……
As I turned my eyes away from the cruelty of the world, Alice urged us to play the second match, and giddo-san, who heard her, took a huge board(?) out of nowhere.
[Alright! The second match will be…… a ga decided by “how we read each other’s thoughts and the strategy to make use of it”! We’ll be playing the “Double Color” ga!!!]
[……Double Color?]
[Unnn? Yeah, it’s just a simple ga. Even a kid can play it. However, it’s a ga so deep that it deserves to be our ga!]
Fumu…… In front of and giddo-san, there is a large board with squares…… This should an that it’s a board ga huh?
There are two stones in the center, one red and one blue, and they should be used in the ga…… Hmmm. This sohow looks very familiar.
[The rules are simple. I’m red, Kaito is blue…… Then, we would take turns placing stones on the board. And when you place a stone, the opponent’s stone or stones in between your stones will change to your color. Repeating this process, the player with the most stones of his color wins!]
[………………….]
……Ah, I see…… It’s “othello” huh……
It was about four tis the size of the othello board I knew, but other than that, the rules were almost the sa.
It seems to be a magic tool that automatically changes the color of the stones that were interposed between pieces, so it’s like a convenient Othello.
[Do you understand the rules? Then, let’s start! Let’s have a burning hot ga!!!]
[……I will be in your care.]
And so began the second match between giddo-san and I…… a huge-sized Othello ga.
Dear Mom, Dad————– The fearless smile on giddo-san’s face was not that of a man driven to a corner. Burning with fighting spirit, he faced . However, there was one thing that he overlooked. No————– There’s a secret that giddo-san didn’t know.
As Kaito and giddo began to confront each other, and after a while, Alice and Fate began to give comntary.
{ Well then, we’ll now start giving live comntary…… Our voices basically won’t reach Kaito-san and giddo-san. Otherwise, they’ll probably get so hint to sothing that they might have missed…… Now, let’s look at their openings. }
{ I don’t see any big moves in their openings. But as far as I can see, the War King seems to be in the lead? }
{ You’re right. The important thing in this ga isn’t to change the color of as many stones as possible, but to make it difficult for the opponent to play their turn next…… I like that move by giddo-san. It’s got quite a wide angle, making it easy to take over other pieces. }
While watching the magically displayed images in the sky above the arena, Alice and Fate explained the early stages of the match.
{ ……In that case, that move by Kai-chan is a bad one, isn’t it? With that, the War King has a big lead…… }
{ Hmmm. I suppose I should praise giddo-san for that move. There’s hardly anyone who wouldn’t be tempted to place at that square. }
{ I see…… I guess that ans Kai-chan should have held back there and placed his piece in the lower right corner instead. }
{ That’s right…… Well, even though he made a mistake, it was still the early ga so it was still possible to turn things around but…… Hmmm. }
{ What’s the matter, No-chan? You kinda have a complicated expression on your face, you know? }
{ ……No, I an, errr…… I’ll be honest with you. Even though I’m still doing all these live comntaries, “I already know the result of this match”. }
{ Eh? What do you an? }
When Alice told her that she already knows the outco, even though the ga is still ongoing, Fate curiously asked her.
Thereupon, Alice’s expression beca even more complicated and turning to Fate, she murmured.
{ N- No…… You see…… In fact, Kaito-san…… He’s “very weak” at these kinds of board ga that doesn’t involve luck. }
{ ……Is that so? }
{ Y- Yes…… No, it’s not that I’m saying he’s stupid or that he can’t read what his opponent is going to move next……. You know there are things we aren’t good at, right? How should I say this…… Kaito-san…… He has a fatal lack of sense in board gas of this kind…… According to him, he would lose 90 percent of the ti at board gas. }
{ ……T- There’s still the 10 percent…… s- so it should be alright…… }
{ I- I guess you’re right! Let’s look forward to future developnt of the match! }
Yes, Alice knew about it. She often played together with Kaito, and had played board gas with him before. However, Kaito was bad at strategy-type board gas like chess.
He was so bad at it that Alice beca concerned about him instead……
And that was also true for giddo who was currently playing against him.
(O- Oi, oi, Kaito!? You shouldn’t place a piece at that square! Heck, why are you putting your stone over there!? If you place it there, everything on the upper left corner will be……)
giddo was currently on the edge with each of their moves. However, it wasn’t because of the board……
(You idiot! One more square to the right and it would have been perfect! You can’t connect to the next move with that at all, you know!? ……K- Kaito…… My bad. I see, so you’re…… really bad at playing Double Color huh……)
Without realizing that giddo was beginning to feel pity for him, Kaito had once again placed the stone in a completely wrong square.
