Chapter 8 Part 4 of 5: Obligatory Fanservice Episode

A couple days after the midterms passed.

Ayanokouji was pacing back and forth in his dorm. 'What is this sensation I'm feeling? Could it be that I'm nervous? I guess so. I've never invited any girls to my room before for this specific purpose.'

The doorbell rang, so he quickly opened it.

"Good morning, Kiyotaka."

"What's up, Kiyo-boy!"

"Kuku."

"Suzune. Fuuka. Ryuuen. Come in."

"Pardon the intrusion," The two ladies said as they took off their shoes upon entering.

Ryuuen didn't take his off though, immediately taking a seat on a couch and kicking his feet up onto a coffee table.

"Why are you here, Ryuuen?"

"I hear you're good at chess."

"Yes. Where did you hear that?"

"Smug Loli told me."

"Sakayanagi did?"

"That's what I just said, smartass."

"Then, what brings you here?"

"Kiryuuin and I want you to teach us how to play..."

"Sure-"

"Two games at the same time... And take it a little easy on us so that you don't destroy us, but not too easy."

Sigh. "What a pain. We're supposed to study today."

"Who cares? I can learn all that useless shit later. Now then, teach me, Grand Monster-sensei. Kuku."

Suzune frowned. "How is he supposed to explain the lessons to Kiryuuin and me?"

Fuuka smirked. "He's Kiyocchin. He can do it all."

She pulled out her own chessboard.

Soon, Kiyotaka found himself playing two games of chess at the same time, one against Female Koenji, and the other for Dragon Boy, all while tutoring the former and the Ice Queen.

"Find the log of x and the circumference of this circle using the method I taught you," He wrote down into a notebook while moving his Bishop to fill in and cover his Queen's diagonal.

Right now, the four are seated on a large J-shaped couch with Fuuka and Ryuuen next to one another and sitting across from Kiyotaka and Suzune, who are both shoulder to shoulder right now.

Kiryuuin scribbled in her notebook while advancing her Knight.

Ryuuen is using Kiyotaka's separate chess set from Fuuka's, quickly taking a few vital strategic positions on the board using three of his Pawns.

Kiyo gulped. 'I had a feeling something like this would happen. Why does Suzune's hair smell so good?' Their current position is making him physically react in ways he can't fully comprehend.

His friend, however, is also as oblivious, at least for a normal person, of his predicament. However, the ice cold girl still has more awareness of matters pertaining to romance than him. Subconsciously, she feels more accepting of his physical presence than anyone not named Horikita Manabu.
