414-There are secrets that Megiddo does not know






 


'Yeah, I think it's pretty big. ''Winning the first game is pretty big. The Warlord doesn't have a lot of time left in his life... on the other hand, Kai-chan can still lose once, so he'll have plenty of time to relax mentally.

 I'm rather damaged mentally, but I don't want to play the art game again. A new black history has been created.

''Hmmm. In a story, it's standard that Megiddo-san wins and takes it to the final round. It's more exciting for the real world, so if possible, I would like them to reach the final round.
''Hmm. As for me, the sooner it's over, the better! ........By the way, No? Kai-chan's clay sculptures that you made earlier.......Can I get one of those?

 Fate! Stop it, seriously stop it! What are you trying to do, take out my black history? No, absolutely not!

''Oh, but we've been inundated with applicants and after this game is over, we'll have a 'rock-paper-scissors' competition, and the winner will get to keep it.'''

 Hey! Why are you taking the prize all by yourself! Hey, guys, red gorilla why are you thumbs up? It's not "There are a lot of people with a good eye for detail"!
 I mean, who the hell wants that stuff!

I know.
'Now I'm thinking, No-chan, didn't you just reveal my name to the public without a second thought? No, no, it's okay, but...'
"I was so stupid. I'm sorry, I'll buy you a drink. I'm sorry, I'll continue. Chris, the Emperor of the Archlesia Empire, Laguna, the King of the Hydra Kingdom, Lilia, the Duke of the Sinfonia Kingdom, and many others.
''........It's amazing. It's a world-ending boss rush.

 There was a mess! Wait ... no, what the hell are you all doing ... it's nothing but hell in the hands of someone you know?
 Also, Mr. Eden! What the hell do you think you're doing?

''........Well, we'll talk about those details later, but let's get the second one started!

 ...How did that happen? I'll think about it later. I'll think about it later........or rather, I'll participate in that rock-paper-scissors competition. I must do whatever I can to prevent that negative legacy from falling into the hands of my acquaintances....
 When I was feeling the cruelty of the world and looking far away, Alice urged me to play a second game, and Megiddo, who heard that, came out of nowhere with a huge board? I took out the

'Good!  'Double Collar' is the way to go!
"...double collar?
Yeah? Oh, what, it's an easy game. A kid could play it. But it's so deep, it's worthy of our challenge.

 
 There are two red and two blue stones in the center, and it looks like they use that thing for games... hmmm. There's something very familiar about it.

The rules are simple. I'm the red one and my kite is the blue one and we take turns placing the stones on this board. Then, if you put your own stone between the opponent's stones, the stone you put between them changes to your color. They repeat the process, and the one with the most stones of their own color at the end wins!
....

 .........Oh, I see......it's "Othello".......
 It's about four times the size of the Othello board I know, but other than that, most of the rules are the same.
 It seems to be a magic tool that automatically changes colors when you pinch it without turning it over, so it's like Othello that has become useful.

'You understand the rules, right? Then let's get started! Have a hot game!
Nice to meet you.

 Thus began the second game between me and Megiddo-san - a giant Othello duel.

 Dear Mother and Father - Megide-san's expression, smiling fearlessly, was not a look of being driven. He was challenging me with all his might, with a burning fighting spirit. However, there is one thing that I have overlooked, no........................I have a secret that Megide-san does not know.








 Kaijin and Megiddo begin their confrontation, and around a while later, Alice and Fate begin the play-by-play and commentary.

''Now then, I'll be doing the live action, but.......Basically, our voices are not allowed to reach Kaito-san and the others.
But as far as I can tell, the War King is in the lead?
''Yes, that's right. The important thing in this game is not to change the color of many stones at once, but to take them into a form that makes it harder for your opponent to hit next... Megiddo's move here is good. I'm staring at a wide range and it's easy to cover other things as well.'

 Alice and Fate explained the early stages of the attack and defense while displaying images in the sky above the arena with magic.

''........Then, Kai's move here is a bad move. Now, the War King has taken quite a lead...''
''Hmmm. I should praise Megiddo-san for this one. You'll want to take this form.''
''I see.......that means Kai should have held back here and made the color in the bottom right corner.''
''Well, even though it's a mistake, it's early enough to get it back, but... hmmm...''
What's the matter? No-chan. You look kind of subtle, don't you?''
'....No....because....well...let's see...I've played it live, but 'I know the outcome of this game'.
'What? What do you mean?

 Fate asks Alice curiously as she tells her that she already knows the outcome, even though the game is still in the middle.
 Then Alice changed her expression to something even more subtle and told her to slowly mutter.

''I, no........er....
'....is that so?
'Yes, yes....no, it's not that I'm not smart or that I can't read each other's minds, but you know, there are things I'm not good at, you know? 
"....I've got 10%, so it's okay...
'Yeah, right! Let's see what happens in the future!'

 Yes, Alice knew that. She often played with Kaijin, and she had played board games with him before. However, Kaijin was not good at strategy-type board games like chess.
 It was already to the point where Alice would be more careful........

 And it was the same for Megiddo, who was currently playing against him.

(Oh, come on, Kite! Not that way, why would you put a rock on the ground? (Then the top left corner is all...)

 Megiddo was currently on edge with each move. But it wasn't against the board....

(Silly me! One more square to the right! It's not going to get you anywhere near the next level.  ...)

 Unaware of Megiddo's state of mind, which was no longer even beginning to feel pity for him, Kaito had once again placed the stone in a misplaced spot.
