Ichinose, you will regret it.

Chapter 103 My middle school second degree is better than yours!

In the afternoon of August, the sunlight spreads across the earth like golden silk, and the air is filled with a lazy and warm atmosphere.

In August, cicadas are singing at their utmost across the Gaoyu campus. The occasional sound of pages turning in the library interweaves with the chirping of cicadas outside the window, forming a unique melody.

Uesugi Gen leaned his head against the window of the library and looked sleepily at the scenery outside, wondering if he could buy a bottle of Coke after going out.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

A short and clear sound brought Uesugi Gen's attention back to the library. It was the sound of a cane hitting the table.

"Sorry, sorry, are you ready?"

Uesugi Gen said to the weak girl in front of him wearing a black beret.

"Ah, could it be that in Uesugi-san's eyes, I'm not as good as the cicada outside the window?"

Arisu Sakayanagi asked Uesugi Gen slowly, her voice delicate and a little sickly, as if everything was under her control.

"Uh~"

Uesugi Gen once again looked at the sickly girl in front of him.

Her silver hair just fell on her shoulders, and there was a faint smile on her flawless face. Her fair skin revealed an astonishingly delicate delicacy. From Uesugi Gen's perspective, her body looked particularly petite, and she was wearing white silk suspenders that seemed inconsistent with her nonchalant style but surprisingly sexy, and... her slightly heaving chest.

At first glance, Ding Zhen is identified as a junior high school student!

"#!"

Feeling Uesugi Gen's regretful gaze, Sakayanagi Arisu could no longer maintain her faint smile.

"I have a feeling Uesugi-san is thinking something bad!"

"How could that be? That's not the case."

Uesugi Gen quickly shook his head, wiping the thoughts from his mind.

"Let's get back to the point. According to the agreement, I helped you undermine Katsuragi's prestige in the class, and you provided me with assistance. After the uninhabited island exam, both parties achieved their goals and everyone was happy. Isn't that the end of it? Why did you call me here and try to push me around? Can't we just part ways amicably?"

Uesugi Gen strongly condemned Arisu Sakayanagi's behavior of lingering after having sex and even wanting to go further.

"That won't do, Uesugi-san. Although I don't care much about class matters, I should at least do something to prove my ability to the class. After all, being left behind by your class by over 400 points is something I never expected."

Arisu Sakayanagi seemed unexpectedly shameless. She ignored Uesugi Gen's words with hidden meanings, and instead stated the reasons for her actions with a smile.

Uesugi Gen retorted expressionlessly.

"So, does this have anything to do with you calling me here to play chess?"

"This..."

Arisu Sakayanagi pushed a set of chess endgame pieces toward Gen Uesugi.

"To determine if you're worthy enough to bury me, of course!"

"..."

Uesugi Gen looked Sakayanagi Arisu up and down again, then turned around and asked.

"Ms. Kamuro, where did you find this junior high school student? He's barely passed his second year of high school. He dressed up Sakayanagi so well that even the chairman couldn't recognize her."

As usual, Kamuro Masumi didn't look at Uesugi Gen in a good mood, but her disgusted expression could no longer be suppressed at this time, and she said while holding back her laughter.

"You can just ask her about this kind of thing yourself."

Arisu Sakayanagi's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and challenged Uesugi Gen.

"Then let me see if Uesugi-san's strength is as tough as your words."

"It's better to do it sooner. I've been sitting here for so long and I'm getting a little bored~"

Uesugi Gen stretched out his body and yawned.

"That's why I'm playing the endgame with you. After all, Uesugi-san has been looking very reluctant since he came here."

"However, deep down, I still hope to have a fair go with Uesugi-san. After all, an endgame isn't just for the two of us."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and extended his hand to Uesugi Gen, "Please."

"Ha~"

Uesugi Gen yawned again and said nonchalantly, "We'll talk about this kind of thing when we have a chance~"

Then he supported his head with one hand, glanced at the situation on the chessboard, and with the other hand he casually picked up a chess piece and placed it in a position.

Arisu Sakayanagi was stunned when he saw Uesugi Gen's actions, and then his eyes were instantly filled with deep interest.

"King? Wow, Uesugi-san's style is really quite unusual!"

In chess, if a player's king cannot prevent it from being captured on the next turn no matter what action it takes, this situation is called "checkmate".

Once the king of one side is checked, the game ends immediately and the side that is checked loses the game.

Therefore, even in an endgame opening with fewer pieces, the king, as the most precious piece, should be moved only after the situation stabilizes to avoid unnecessary risks.

On the other hand, there are very few people like Uesugi Gen who directly moved the kingdom right from the start.

"Because someone once told me that if the king doesn't lead by example, the soldiers won't follow."

"..."

Arisu Sakayanagi may not know, but Masumi Kamuro knows it very well. Uesugi Gen probably learned this sentence from the TV anime called "Code Geass: Code Geass".

Aren't you and her exactly the same? Two-bit idiots versus two-bit idiots.

Masumi Kamuro thought with disgust.

"Please, Ms. Sakayanagi."

Uesugi Gen extended his hand in invitation.

Arisu Sakayanagi responded with a standard King Soldier opening.

Immediately afterwards, Uesugi Gen responded by moving his soldier one space.

The two sides fought back and forth, attacking and defending around a small chessboard.

Gradually, Arisu Sakayanagi's speed slowed down, but Uesugi Gen always took over immediately after Arisu Sakayanagi finished a step, and even had time to stare at the scenery outside the window.

At this time, there was an incredible look in Kamuro Masumi's eyes.

She had known Arisu Sakayanagi for a long time, and he had always been invincible in chess and had never lost to anyone.

Now he has been forced to this point by this guy Uesugi Gen.

At this time, Arisu Sakayanagi not only did not show a depressed expression, but the smile on his face became more and more intense.

She had chosen this endgame herself, so she naturally knew that the side with the advantage was actually Uesugi Gen's side.

But she never expected that Uesugi Gen could easily find a way to break the deadlock that she had never seen before from all the ways she knew.

The king who took the first step taken by Uesugi Gen!

In the endgame, because the pieces are already scarce, the king's abilities can be brought into play to a considerable extent.

Uesugi Gen moved the king from the beginning, allowing it to control key points and routes.

In other words... he saw through the situation of this endgame from the very beginning.

Arisu Sakayanagi looked at the boy in front of him who was playing with the chess piece in his hand out of boredom.

She wanted it...she wanted it now...

I want to have a fair fight with him!

104

Chapter 104 You, a woman, have absolutely no self-awareness.

The leaves outside the window suddenly swayed slightly, making a rustling sound, and then a few leaves slowly fell from the branches...

Uesugi Gen opened his eyes wide and watched the leaves draw a circle in the air and then fall smoothly to the ground.

Yes, he was already too idle to count the falling leaves.

The girl opposite him had been thinking for a long time without moving the chess piece, but she didn't seem bored. She stared at the chessboard as if she could see flowers coming out of her eyes.

Uesugi Gen finally understood that this person didn't care about the outcome of this chess game at all, he just wanted to waste his time here.

"Ha~"

Uesugi Gen yawned again.

Playing chess with this person is simply torture. If the next step is still like this, I will take out my phone to kill time. This way I can spend the whole day with her.

As for Miss Kamuro, she had been sent by Uesugi Gen to buy drinks. It was better to find something to do than to sit here and watch two people playing "statue".

Finally, Arisu Sakayanagi took action and ate one of Uesugi Gen's soldiers.

Then he smiled and extended a hand, "It's your turn, Uesugi-san."

Uesugi Gen took out his cell phone, glanced at the message on it, and immediately became alert and spoke directly.

"I say, Ms. Sakayanagi, there's no need to continue this game. We both know that with your current strategy, I'll have you defeated in eight moves."

Yes, he decided to end this game of chess quickly and decisively.

As for the reason...

"That's hard to say. No one can be sure of the outcome of the game until the very last moment, right?"

Arisu Sakayanagi's smile remained unchanged as she continued speaking at her leisurely pace.

"No, this game is too boring for me."

Uesugi Gen stood up and walked out.

"So I chose to admit defeat and end this game."

Anyway, there is no stake in the game itself, so there is no loss if you admit defeat.

Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, Uesugi Gen was blocked by a crutch.

Uesugi Gen helplessly turned around and looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, "Hey Miss Sakayanagi, didn't the chairman tell you that girls shouldn't be too persistent with other boys?"

"I finally found an opponent that interests me, so how could I let him slip away from me?"

Arisu Sakayanagi folded up the chessboard on the table and formally challenged Gen Uesugi.

"Hey, Uesugi-san, let's play a fair game of chess."

"..."

Uesugi Gen was silent for a while, then decisively refused.

"Yada!"

"Can you tell me the reason, Uesugi-san?"

Arisu Sakayanagi was not surprised by Uesugi Gen's reaction. Instead, he discussed the reason with Uesugi Gen with great interest.

"If you're quitting because you're bored, don't worry, Uesugi-kun. My tactics won't be as gentle as they were just now in the next round."

"I played with you just now because I had nothing else to do. As for now, there is a war that I have not yet finished waiting for my arrival."

Uesugi Gen changed his bored attitude, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with blazing flames as if they were about to burst out at the next moment.

"Oh~ Do you mind telling me the specific reason?"

A curious look appeared on Sakayanagi Yugi's face. Obviously, she was also curious about the reason why Uesugi Gen's behavior was so different before and after.

"Play video games!"

Uesugi Gen's resolute tone revealed a courage to face death head-on.

Yes, a challenge letter was sent to Uesugi Gen’s mobile phone just now.

Shibata: [Keyaki Shopping Center, 3rd floor game hall, play video games, come quickly!]

The call between men does not require too many words.

"..."

Ms. Sakayanagi's smile froze, and she looked at Uesugi Gen again and spoke.

"Uesugi-san, let me confirm again, are you leaving here to play games?"
