Let's Manage The Tower

(12) Soldier's chess

Free ~

Unusual, a peach murmured as he put his chin on a table in a relaxing space.

Sylvia looked at it with a bitter smile.

"I know how you feel, but you can't exercise hard.

I know ~

I can't imagine from the tone and appearance, but peaches that have been trained as shadows since childhood are basically called training and exercise intensely.

After the pregnancy is discovered, the training is stopped by the surroundings.

Peach's "free time" can be temporal, but it also includes the inability to move the body any further.

Even Sylvia, who had not moved her body as much as she had peached, was quite mentally restricted during pregnancy.

Sylvia, who had no melee fights compared to the rest of the team, was in such a state.

From the peach, there will be something quite tight.

Even if I knew that, I couldn't do anything to Sylvia.

Of course, just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't move your body at all.

In order to live a very normal life, it is better to move.

I just can't train to defeat monsters coming out of this world.

However, for those who make it everyday, it feels painful to be suddenly restricted.

That's right. I was distracted when I thought about the child I was going to have. "

"... that's what Floria already told me ~"

In fact, Peach did the same thing earlier, and Floria told me the same thing about Sylvia.

However, the method was only symptomatic and returned to Ami in a few hours.

As usual, Sylvia had a disturbing expression on her peach with her chin on the table.

We are experiencing similar experiences, so I would like to cooperate as much as possible.

"I wish I could be able to distract you..."

Is this a distraction ~?

He raised his head as if Peach were interested.

"Yes, that's right. I used to do hand-knitting and lace knitting.

I see ~

In Sylvia's words, Peach nodded.

Sylvia smiled a little as she watched.

"Anything come to mind?

"I remember playing a lot before I came here ~"

"Oh, that's exciting."

Nicole laughed at what Peach was going to do and what Sylvia was interested in.

"Oh, it's army chess. What's the matter, suddenly?

Floria suddenly said that when she entered the relaxing space.

"Army chess? What's that? Oh, this."

I saw Peach and Sylvia sitting face-to-face between them, and the assistant nodded.

"What is it? Did you know that?

"I've seen an adventurer do it in a tavern before. But I don't know the details."

I just thought that there were similar games even though the world was different from what I saw before, so I just played bare street.

After that, I didn't ask Kouhi or Mitsuki, so I didn't even know the name instead of the rules.

In order not to disturb the two players playing the game, Kaiseki heard the rules lightly from Floria.

"What is it? Is that like chess?"

It was called.

Because there was a rule in Soldier's Chess that you could use the token you took from the opponent as your own.

The big difference is that there is a magical concept.

"What is it? Do you know him?

"No, I don't know anything exactly like that. But I know similar games."

I see.

While Kaosuke and Floria were talking, it was settled.

"Did you lose? It's strong."

"Thank you ~"

When Sylvia praised the peach, Floria saw the peach as if she were interested.

"Hmm? Strong enough to beat Sylvia. All of them. Should I take care of them?

"Of course!"

As a matter of fact, Sylvia and Floria rarely played army chess at their weight.

That's why Floria knows exactly what Sylvia is capable of.

From Floria, Sylvia is never weak.

Floria was interested in a peach that could beat Sylvia.

Now Sylvia and Floria are going to take turns fighting.

And as she moved on, Floria began to roar with her arms together.

"Hmm..."

I can tell from the twisting of my neck that the situation is not pleasant.

I know a little bit about shogi, but with the addition of the concept of magic, the rules change.

For this reason, Kouske doesn't know the status of the war at all even when he looks at the board.

Sylvia nodded with cockroaches as he turned his gaze towards Sylvia.

As Sylvia predicted, Pecori and Floria lowered their heads as the battle progressed to more than a dozen hands.

"I lost. No, it's stronger than I expected."

"Thank you, because this is the only childhood I've ever had."

Peaches that were unable to play with their generation of children because of their charm were playing army and field chess with adults outside of training.

As a result, I hit a strong opponent in the village, and as a result, it became stronger.

Incidentally, because adults have some resistance to attraction, they were unaffected by childhood peaches.

Floria and Sylvia took turns again.

I decided to replace the loser with the surplus.

Floria and Sylvia both seemed to have decided to go out with each other if it was going to be a change of pace for the peach.

I asked Florian, who was waiting in turn, while watching the battle between Peach and Sylvia.

"Speaking of which, aren't you at a game like this?

"Games? What do you mean?

The examiner added further explanation to Floria, who tilted her neck without understanding the meaning.

"For example, if the state sponsored a prize for the winner, or if they hired a nobleman or a rich man to fight on behalf of the public."

"Hmm... no, I don't think so."

Floria, who answered the exam, murmured as she thought about it.

It is clear from the circle that while the gaze is facing the board, the thought is facing the other way.

"Hey, Floria, hey."

The examiner patted his right hand in front of him, and Floria finally raised her face.

"What? I heard something interesting."

"No, just for the record, whatever the previous one is, if you don't properly monitor the back one, you'll get a terrible disposable one.

"Isn't that right?

He laughed bitterly at Florian, who didn't say what to take for granted.

It is not uncommon for nobles to hire adventurers to fight in a city with a thriving arena.

And it's only natural that those who can't win can be cut off easily.

The problem is not that, but the treatment of those hired at the time.

"No, if you're just going to get your neck cut off, it's going to hurt your honor, and some of you are going to say something rude."

"Ah!!... that sounds like it. I see. Let's think about it."

In Floria, it seemed like a decision that some kind of tournament would already be held.

As an examiner, I heard a little doubt, but Floria decided it was worth opening.

Indeed, in a world of little entertainment, it is a good idea to hold such tournaments to attract attention.

It was a study aid that would be exciting to see how what Floria was thinking would be realized.
