“Hm? Huh?” Oto looked confused at the miraculous underdog victory she’d just accomplished.

I grinned at her and said, “I didn’t expect anything less. You’re reliable on both the battlefield and in double six.”

“Um, I’m glad to have been of use.”

My eyes grew hot at her innocent reaction. She was a good kid. Man, I remember when Hakurei used to... Actually, never mind. She was never like this.

Hakurei returned to the bench and gave Oto a completely unnecessary warning. “Miss Oto, please don’t let him fool you. Sekiei always does this. He’s a horrible person who loves to lead young women astray.”

“S-Stop sullying my name! I was being hon— Hm?”

A hand about the same size as Meirin’s grabbed my leg in a firm grip. Ruri, who should’ve been knocked out after such an intense match, was glowering at me as dangerous-looking black petals danced around her.

“One more match!” she growled. “How do you expect me to sleep after yet another loss?!”

Wow, I’m not sure how to react. Should I find her competitive spirit impressive, or should I find it frightening that she looks seconds away from turning into some kind of ghoul? I grabbed some fried snacks from a paper bag and showed them to Ruri. Since she opened her mouth, I popped a few inside. Halfway through feeding Ruri, I saw Hakurei open her mouth, so I gave her some as well.

“U-Um...” Oto fidgeted as if she wanted some snacks too, but I hoped in my heart of hearts that I was just seeing things.

After confirming that the light of reason was back in Ruri’s eyes, I wiped my hands off with a cloth. Then, I touched the compass and flapped the piece of paper from my pocket at them.

“Hey, I wanna discuss the characters we copied from the abandoned temple as well as how we can use Meirin’s toy.”

Ruri glared up at me, her lips pursed in a pout. She sat down on the bench, crossed her arms and legs, then said in a slow voice, “If you don’t want to play a rematch with me, then I’ll stay here until morning.”

“Sekiei, let’s play another match,” Hakurei said before I could even open my mouth. Even now, the princess of the Chou house wasn’t able to sleep without me. She also heavily despised anything that would cut into our nightly conversations. In fact, it felt like her attachment issues had gotten even worse. This morning, I’d woken up to her arms wrapped around me.

“Gotta take out the horse first before you can reach the general! ♪” Ruri mouthed at me.

Damn! She completely figured out the best way to handle us! I racked my brain for a few agonizing moments before finally slumping my shoulders.

“Fine, fine. Only one more though, got it? Oto, do you wanna join?”

“Gladly!” Oto said as she excitedly picked up a game piece.

“I won’t lose this time!” Ruri growled, her eyes brimming with enthusiasm.

Hakurei smiled at them both, then picked up Yui and placed it in my lap.
