"By the way, Riku and Shubi seem to have played several games of chess. What are the odds of winning?" Someone suddenly said to himself.

Then think carefully——

Eliku's powerful layout ability, even Shubi, who is an Ex-Machina, is not so easy to crack!

Thinking of Riku's self-confidence of "the chessboard has infinite possibilities" when he bet against Shubi for the first time.

Yuba, the cat-eared girl, also thought of this at the moment, and she was a staunch supporter of Riku.

For the race of human beings, she is now very favorable!

however……

- Zero wins in one hundred and eighty-two battles.

Soon Riku's record came out.

"Ah!...Ah?" The little princess and the others were immediately confused.

Yuba's face suddenly twitched.

[-]. One hundred and eighty-two battles... Zero wins, isn't that a total defeat?

Didn't even make it to a draw?

Meow~!Why did she believe Riku's arrogant statement before!

Obviously feeling very handsome to say!The result—is it true that humans are no match for the Ex-Machinas in terms of games?

Even if it can lure the enemy into the trap, Shubi's calculation ability completely blows up Riku's traps!

Riku's supporters, who were slapped in the face by Riku's embarrassing record, felt a resentment in their hearts.

After that, there was an interesting dialogue between Riku and Huby.

This caused everyone to keep laughing knowingly, and their mood gradually eased.

Afterwards, Hubie and Riku argued for a while, and because Riku kept losing but refused to give up the challenge, Hubie suddenly revealed Riku's true heart.

Why does Riku keep losing and still want to play chess with her?

because--

【... Riku does not accept, such a result...】

Shubi's words made everyone startled suddenly.

Do you not accept losing?still--

Without waiting for them to think about it.

"...Of course. Surviving in this kind of world and—"

"--no."

Huby made up his mind.She interrupted Riku and continued: "...before... I didn't understand...but...now I understand..."

Immediately afterwards, Shubi's next sentence made Yuye and the others tremble in their hearts.

"...What Riku wants...doesn't want anyone to die...no matter who it is, even if it's...a race that destroys humanity—even Hubby."

……

Don't want anyone to die, not even... to destroy the human race.

The air was silent for a moment.

Everyone's brains seemed to be split by a sharp axe.

"...Is it because of this reason that Riku gave up on Shubi at the end?" Someone asked in surprise.

When they thought back... Riku had a chance to kill Shuby, the Ex-Machina who indirectly destroyed his hometown, but in the end he let Shuby go!

Just for this reason? !

Just because of this, he gave up revenge?

The little princess suddenly widened her eyes.

"Riku...isn't timid and afraid of killing people, but he doesn't want anyone to die. Ah! Is that what he thinks?"

So this is Riku's [heart].

------

"It's really irritating...a man full of reason is so troublesome." Riku said suddenly.

"……sorry."

"Don't apologize...it's just an idiot getting angry."

[Only a scum like me who doesn't want anyone's approval——]

When seeing Riku's thoughts.

Everyone felt a little distressed.

Did he think of those forty-eight humans who died for him?
