章 87: Chess Tournament Finals - Part 3

The time was 10:52 am.

The next stage of the finals was scheduled to take place. Looking around, I saw the other three victors of the previous round. The chess prodigy—Kanako, the Outcome of the Ideal Human Project—Hasegawa and the surprising winner from Class 2-E—Murakami. We four were set to play our next matches.

Well, I didn't really care that much, but I guess I'd have to get one more win.

Taking another seat, I was opposite my next opponent, someone very familiar to me. It looked like I was going to have another match with Kanako then. Grinning at me, she looked as if she was having the time of her life.

"M-mizuhara, I suppose we're playing each other again."

"I guess so."

"Do you want me to go easy on you~?" she giggled, twirling her hair between her fingers.

"I actually learnt some theory just before."

"Oh? Fufu, I expect great things from you, teacher~"
