"General." Kitagawa Kai put down the black piece while eating snacks, completing the final kill.
Tachibana Akane stared at the chessboard, his brows furrowed, and his fingers twisted together unconsciously. The bold words and ambitions he had just made had already been thrown out of the window.
Her body leaned forward unconsciously, and she didn't even notice a strand of hair falling from her bun.
"Oh! It's so fun. Let's play again! I was careless just now. I will definitely beat you this time."
"Okay." Kitagawa Kai responded freely.
At the beginning of a new round, he seemed to be playing seriously, and occasionally would kill one or two of Tachibana Akane's boys, but at critical points, he would always leave a glimmer of hope, or "accidentally" walk into a simple trap set by Tachibana Akane.
Tachibana Akane was completely immersed in the chess game. She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were burning, and she thought very carefully about every step.
When she used her own knight to capture a double, and then used her bishop's remote coordination to capture an important pawn of the opponent's side, a petite and proud smile appeared on her face. This was pure joy.
"Look! My knight jumps away, and your queen and bishop are threatened!"
Tachibana Akane explained excitedly, pointing her finger at the chessboard, and then realized that it was not solemn enough. She quickly coughed and tried to keep a straight face, but her bright eyes completely betrayed her.
"Hiss"
"Senior, this step is so terrifying~"
Kitagawa Kai continued to release water and accidentally exposed the king.
Tachibana Akane's eyes became brighter, and he moved the chess pieces quickly. "Checkmate!" The voice was clear and clear, with the joy of winning.
"We lost again, now we are tied 2-2."
Kitagawa Kai readily overthrew his "king" with a relaxed smile on his face, "Senior sister learns so quickly, and her tactical understanding of chess is very keen."
Tachibana Akane looked at his winning situation on the chessboard, and his chest was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction and excitement.
It wasn't until she caught a glimpse of the slightly westward sunlight outside the window that she whispered, "Is it so late?"
Kitagawa Kai looked at the half-empty snacks and drinks, and then looked at Tachibana Akane opposite, who was still unfinished.
"Senior, let's decide the outcome in the last game."
"Junior, come here, I will definitely win this round."
Tachibana Akane's fighting spirit was instantly ignited, and he sat upright, full of unprecedented determination and confidence.
In the final battle, the fighting is getting fierce.
"Senior sister is really excited. What do you think Mr. Horikita Manabu is doing at this time?"
The voice of Kitagawa Kai was unhurried and sounded in the gap between the chess pieces settling down.
"At this time, the president is of course exercising or reading. The president is always very self-disciplined."
Tachibana Akane answered subconsciously and in a matter-of-fact tone.
"That's right, President, it seems that my senior thinks highly of you."
"..."
Tachibana Akane's fingers holding the chess piece stopped in mid-air, with a confused look on his face.
President?
There are only two of them here, who is he talking about as president?
She blinked, her long eyelashes trembling, wondering if she had heard wrongly, and moved her gaze upward from the chessboard to meet the gaze of Kitagawa Kai.
His eyes were calm, but seemed to be falling behind her.
An incredible suspicion suddenly came to mind.
"What... are you talking about?"
"Sister, you'll know when you turn around."
Tachibana Akane slowly twisted his neck and looked towards the door.
Beside the door, at some point, a familiar and upright figure stood quietly.
Horikita Manabu, he was standing there, with one hand still on the doorknob, as if he was about to push the door open, or he had been standing there for a moment.
"Secretary Tachibana, Kitagawa, classmates, I just came to take a look, you continue."
His voice was as usual and there was no fluctuation in his tone.
After saying that, he just nodded slightly, put his hand on the doorknob and gently closed the ajar door.
"Ta."
This sound finally woke Tachibana Akane out of her petrified state, and she turned around.
Kitagawa Kai was also looking at her, not panicked or embarrassed, just pointing at the chess piece in her hand.
"Senior sister, it's your turn to go. Your king seems to have not castrated yet, so it's not safe."
"..."
"It's all your fault!!!"
Tachibana Akane suddenly jumped up from the chair, walked around the table, and rushed towards Kitagawa Kai shyly and anxiously, reaching out to cover his mouth, completely forgetting that there were scattered chess pieces and debris between the two of them.
"Bang!"
"Wow--!"
A series of chaotic sounds exploded in the room.
Kitagawa Kai probably didn't expect her reaction to be so violent. She was caught off guard and tripped over the chair leg, losing her balance and falling backwards.
Fortunately, 8 o'clock's physical fitness was enough to support him in making protective movements and he did not fall, but the scene was already in a mess.
Tachibana Akane himself rushed forward too quickly and was blocked by an overturned chair. He screamed and stumbled forward.
But she couldn't care less at the moment. She barely supported herself on the ground with one hand, and grabbed his clothes with the other hand, complaining incoherently:
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault as a junior. You insist on playing chess and eating snacks. Now it's fine... it's all been seen by the president! I'm like this... I'm like this!!"
Tachibana Akane became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice choked with sobs, and tears finally burst out of his eyes and slid down his hot cheeks.
"How can I... how can I do it in front of the president... oh..."
Kitagawa Kai sat up with his hands on the ground, looked at the senior sister Rika who was crying in front of him, and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, senior, don't cry. It's no big deal. The president won't mind. Can you get up first?"
It was okay not to mention the president, but when he mentioned the president, Tachibana Akane sobbed harder, his shoulders shrugged, and tears fell down.
At this moment, she suddenly stiffened, as if she realized that something was wrong with their posture.
"..."
"..."
"Senior sister, you really need to get up."
Tachibana Akane blinked blankly, a few tears still hanging on his eyelashes.
WTF...
"!!!"
Her eyes widened suddenly, her whole face, ears, and neck turned red, and she quickly got up from Kitagawa Kai.
"You, you, you, strange junior!"
Kitagawa Kai stood up calmly, straightened the chair, and began to clean up the messy tables, chairs, chess pieces, etc.
"Senior, you really can't blame me, I'm also a victim."
Tachibana Akane glared at him fiercely, then silently tidied up his messy long purple hair, trying to tie it up again.
Throughout the whole process, she didn't say a word, only sobbing intermittently.
A few minutes later, the room was roughly back to its original state. The chessboard was put away, the chess box was covered, and the garbage bag was tied tightly and placed at the door, but there was still a faint embarrassment in the air.
"Senior, let's go."
"You are really terrible as a junior. You are the worst one I have ever brought up!!!"
