[Caïssa - Headquarters]

"pheew" "pheew" "pheew"

Sitting on my desk, I blew on the bangs of my hair. As I was doing so, from time to time, I would check my phone.

"...Nothing yet huh?"

After 10 minutes of continuously checking my phone, I sighed.

'...it looks like things are progressing more slowly than I predicted'

"What are you doing?"

"Hmm? Smallsnake?"

Glancing towards Smallsnake who had just arrived, I leaned back on my chair and continued to blow on the bangs of my hair.

Noticing my attitude, Smallsnake didn't even bother to ask what I was doing.

"Has everything with the Luxious guild been sorted?"

Checking my watch, without glancing at Smallsnake I said

"...not yet, should be soon though"

"How soon?"

Thinking for a bit, I said "I'd say in about an hour or so?"

Raising his brow, Smallsnake couldn't help but ask "An hour?... then is everything that is happening outside all because of you?"

With my eyes half open, I briefly glanced at Smallsnake

"I guess you could say that"

Frowning, Smallsnake paused before he said

"...just what the hell did you do?"

"It's a bit of a long story..."

-Vuam!

Tapping on my phone, a huge chessboard appeared before me and Smallsnake.

"Fancy a game of chess while I recount? To be honest, I'm on the verge of passing out from boredom"

Glancing at the chessboard, Smallsnake sighed and sat in front of me.

"Chess? Regular rules?"

"Yup"

"Alright"

Nodding his head, Smallsnake stared at the chessboard before him. He was currently using the black pieces, thus he would have to start after I moved my piece.

"So, tell me what you did?"

"What I did?"

Staring at the chessboard for a brief moment, I looked at Smallsnake and smiled.

"I just moved the pieces one at a time..."

Frowning, Smallsnake couldn't help but shake his head.

"...I don't know what you mean by that, but you seriously have a chess complex"

"I do?...hmm, I guess you aren't wrong?"

Taken aback for a moment, I couldn't find any words to refute his statement.

Now that I thought about it, I really did, didn't I?

From the guild name and structure to the way I talked...I made a lot of chess references.

I guess I really did have some sort of chess complex...

-Tak!

Sighing, moving my pawn forward, I smiled.
