PROLOGUE
…… What’s this? Back again?
I am quite busy, so showing up out of the blue like this puts me in a difficult spot ……
No, that’s not what I meant.
I have things to say to them as well, so I shall join you.
Though I must say, how many times have we gone there together now?
Rumors have spread within the manor. They say I often leave the estate in another’s company.
You see …… They believe I found a partner …… of the romantic …… sort.
D-D-Don’t be foolish!! I don’t feel that way either!!
T-Teenagers should not tease adults!!
…… Of course, I have taken measures to keep my lady in the dark. There is no need to worry.
Well, here we are. I’ve always liked the breeze out here.
I’m going to take a few moments to clean the area …… and, you’re not listening, are you?
Good grief. The way you go into your own world while concentrating is the splitting image of my lady. Today may take hours.
………… Finished?
Yes. Leave it as it is. I shall take care of it later.
If I may ask, what did you talk about? Today was much longer than usual.
Me? I asked for the same thing I always do. Surely, you’re aware.
Oh ……? You asked for personal guidance?
That’s rare.
Although …… Yes. I believe I can relate.
It’s much easier to discuss sensitive topics with those two than with other people.
Venting grievances that you would prefer others not hear or, on the other hand, speaking of the far-off dreams that would make others laugh if they heard ……
So, how did it go? Did they give you an answer?
What?
A new strategy to develop?
Heh …… You never fail to surprise.
Why am I smirking? Because, well, I’ve never heard of that before.
A graveyard visit inspiring a new Shogi strategy.
