Capítulo 7: Chapter 7 - Scheme Checkmate
After lunch and the write report of the plan that I make, Chiyuki and I rushed to the living room.
Right after I opened the door, in front of me was a little girl smiling at me. From a distance, I could see her long ears that indicated she was an Elf.
There was no mistake, she was Mercedes. Based on her physical appearance, she looked like a child but her age said otherwise. I was confused for a moment to find a suitable nickname for her. I think.. Mercedes is more suited to a normal nickname like young people in general.
Respect and admiration for the figure who will shake my future were mixed in my heart.
Eh?
If she becomes my enemy again. That would be a bit troublesome. I don't want to have an enemy who always makes me think three times before taking a step.
Even though in our previous life, we were equal enemies. Incidents such as fighting over territory and leading public opinion always did an enjoyfull battle. Of course, all of that was done in the shadows.
She and I are enemies who fight in the shadows.
I could feel the long-lost sensation, the adrenaline of facing an enemy that exceeded my expectations.
In front of her, there was an empty chess board, and beside it were chess pieces. I could understand what was going to happen.
When Chiyuki and I sat together. Mercedes arranged the chess pieces on the board.
"It's interesting... I've never received an offer to work with King and Duke at the same time. Luckily... I have a method to measure the ability to choose this offer" said Mercedes.
It could be said that she wanted to measure the abilities of the Duke and King.
Well, she couldn't ignore this promising offer because both of them had the same strength.
I understood her way of thinking a little. I was the same, choosing something definite to do.
Chiyuki accepted Mercedes' challenge and began to arrange her chess pieces.
In chess, the ability to think, predict, and the courage to take risks will be tested.
But, is Chiyuki able to match Mercedes' abilities?
I can't expect much from Chiyuki but this is my chance to judge Mercedes' abilities. The enemy who always troubled me in my previous life.
"But.. this is not an ordinary chess match. Every piece that is lost is equivalent to untying the clothes that are worn."
Chiyuki was surprised when Mercedes said the rules of the match.
"Isn't it more interesting to be able to see each other? I'm sure your Onii-chan will be very happy to see your body."
Don't bring me into your match!
Well, I can't refuse this offer that was given.
I could see Chiyuki staring at Mercedes. That gaze contained anger and passion.
"Hoho.. I like that gaze.." Mercedes with a childish voice began to provoke Chiyuki.
Chiyuki began to move her pieces.
I calmly watched their match.
Mercedes with her aggressively moving pieces began to fill strategic attack points while Chiyuki began to form a defensive formation. At first glance, the formation they used was a standard chess formation but I could feel Mercedes starting to actively attack.
Every piece moved by Mercedes had the potential to destroy Chiyuki's defense line. Almost all of Chiyuki's defenses could only circle without leaving the defense line and Mercedes slowly used it to fill the potential for Chiyuki's defense breakthrough.
Watching their match that went on without a process. I doubted Mercedes' abilities a little.
"Well, I think it's enough playing around. Onii-chan... please enjoy your sweet Imouto's body."
What did she mean?
Slowly, I began to understand what Mercedes said. One by one her pieces began to eat Chiyuki's pieces. Chiyuki's sturdy fortress slowly collapsed due to Mercedes' attacks.
Chiyuki who was focused on defending could only rotate the defense rotation to protect her King piece.
Something was wrong here.
I could see Mercedes' attack rotation exceeding the prediction of three steps as if she read Chiyuki's mind about the defense plan she would carry out.
Slowly, Chiyuki began to take off the clothes she was wearing until only thin clothes were left sticking to her sweet skin.
Seeing my little sister's condition like this, I thought I had to intervene.
"This is interesting, can I replace my little sister?" I asked suddenly.
"Eh? Are you sure Onii-san? Even your Imouto pawn is almost completely defeated.. don't you want to see your Imouto's sweet skin?"
"Well, I do want to see it but.. I prefer to enjoy my little sister's sweet skin alone."
"Fufu.. I envy your closeness."
"Well, I love my little sister very much. If she wasn't my little sister, I would want to marry her."
"Wow!!" Mercedes was a little surprised by my joke and Chiyuki held back her blush as she covered her exposed body.
"Well, I think I need a cup of tea. Can I make some tea first?" I asked.
"Go ahead..."
I quickly went to make some hot tea in the kitchen.

My name is Mercedes, a beautiful and cute Elf girl. With the long life span of an Elder Elf, I quickly get bored of enjoying life. The bloodline that flows in my body makes me an Elf who occupies the top position.
Intelligence, strength, and great magic capacity flow in my blood. Even though it has to ignite my height at the same size. For me, that is not a problem because there are many interesting things in this world such as studying the science that I am interested in.
Thanks to this long life, I have mastered various types of magic and knowledge that have been spread for several centuries. Humans are indeed short-lived, but their sensitivity and weaknesses make new scientific developments.
Because I can read minds, I steal their knowledge through my mind-reading ability. Perfecting the ideas in their heads and applying those ideas for personal gain.
It is very fun to see humanity bow down to the ideas brought by the Elf race. Like licking their hard work that was taken by others.
One day, a letter came to my house.
The King of the Flora Kingdom and the Duke of the Flora Kingdom invited me to be their children's teacher. Teaching them for a few years is just a blink of an eye for the Elves. Playing our knowledge to seek other knowledge from humanity is a fun game.
However, I am very disappointed with the current humanity.
They give up too quickly to create new knowledge. For example, the Prince and Princess of the Flora Kingdom are too focused on pursuing their desires without implementing the technology before their eyes. It can be said that the current humanity is very lazy, greedy, and only cares about wealth.
This is proven by the actions of the King of the Flora Kingdom who is willing to pay me with their gold mine to teach their children. Not all knowledge is as cheap as a gold mine!
But what about the children of the Duke of the Flora Kingdom?
I have a method of measuring ability by challenging them to a chess match, while playing and having fun, I enter their minds to assess how suitable they are to receive the knowledge I will teach.
The Prince and Princess are very disappointing and I hope to have a little fun in the residence of the Duke of the Flora Kingdom.
When I arrived at their residence, the atmosphere seemed very quiet. Unlike the royal palace which was filled with servants. Here it felt as quiet as a cemetery.
The butler named Sebastian who accompanied me explained a little about the situation that had occurred. It seemed that the Duke of the Flora Kingdom was cleaning up spies who had entered his territory. Seeing the residence as quiet as this, it seemed to be very successful.
I waited for their children while enjoying the lunch that was provided.
The children I was waiting for had arrived. I could see a little girl and her big brother walking side by side. Seeing their friendly atmosphere, I made a little commotion and teased the little girl.
At a glance, I entered the little girl's mind. Her mind was filled with her big brother who looked great.
I guess, I will test them both.
The first player to accept my challenge was the girl. This girl named Chiyuki has very complex thoughts. Her personality to protect valuable things is proven by the arrangement of her pieces that protect each other.
I slightly arranged the arrangement of my pieces to be aggressive. In response to her strong defense formation. However, it did not last long after her big brother doubted my abilities.
I changed my tactics a little and played more aggressively. Our chess game was a bit dangerous because every piece that lost had to untie their clothes.
Seeing the cute girl taking off her clothes made me excited. Especially seeing her mind filled with shame because her big brother saw her embarrassed state.
Our game could have ended with my absolute victory. Thanks to my mind-reading ability, I could see the girl's sadness and shame in facing her big brother.
The girl's game was replaced by her big brother, but he would fight me after returning with tea.
I waited for her big brother to return.
He returned after carrying a trolley filled with tea equipment and a small book in his hand. He then rushed towards his little sister and held her in his arms.
He gave me the book in his hand and smiled at me.
"I did fight you, but these pieces are controlled by this book."
What did he mean?
"Chiyuki, follow all the instructions written in it."
I was a little curious about the book.
Curiosity made me enter his mind. It turned out he wrote a strategy that could be used to defeat me. It was all written in the book.
A pretty good tactic but once I saw it it was useless!
We continued our game.
"Page 21."
"Page 371."
"Page 1."
"Page 209."
"Page 12."
The instructions and tactics given to his little sister were useless because they had been leaked by the opponent mind, playing and reading with someone's mind was so much fun.
I couldn't wait to see their defeat.
"Checkmate!"
Huh?
Eh?
Checkmate?
How is that possible?
I looked back at my chess piece's position and it was indeed checkmate. I couldn't play anymore after my King was cornered.
I looked at the man and read his mind.
"I don't need an Elf who uses her mind-reading ability and loses to this little trap," was written clearly in his mind.
But, how is that possible?
Why is that possible?
What kind of trap is this?
Is he a normal human who can deceive the mind-reading Elf? Or is it just a coincidence?
I started to get a little interested in him.
Once again, I looked at the position of my chess pieces. Without realizing it, I moved my pieces to open the way and gave my King to their ambush point.
This defeat... makes my heart ache a little.
I wonder what kind of trap he set!
