Chapter 534:
En Passant Grandmaster
Okisato Tanabe, age 17, second year high school student.
This young man likes to keep to himself, and keep a low profile, but this man is anything but as generic as his looks suggest. This young man is a grandmaster and the newly-minted vice-president of his high school's chess club.
When the sun rises, Okisato likes to sit on the porch in his large backyard, drinking tea. Some of his grandfather's subordinates might join him too, though most will often drink in silence, but occasionally converse with each other. There is also a chance his sister, Otona might try to attack him, but should she, Okisato will always dodge, sending her faceplanting into the grass.
He then joins his family for proper breakfast before heading off to school. His house is an even closer walk to the school than Mimoko's, and even goes along the same route of the path along the Arakawa river.
At school, he keeps a low profile and blends into the background frequently. He's not the top student in his class, but he is in the upper half of the class rankings. Once school gets out, he'll head to the chess club. Before becoming vice-president, he'd make it his mission to always humiliate the then vice-president, Yuusuke in a game of chess before offering tips and pointers to the other members. He really was bitter about losing that vote to him.
