Chapter 566:

Hyperaccelerated bald dragon

En Passant Grandmaster

With a soundproof glass dome encompassing the players, the game began with Mimoko opening with pawn d4. The woman glared and tapped her fingers for a bit before deciding to move her pawn to g6.

"Modern Defense? It's been a while sine I encountered that," Mimoko thought as she moved her pawn to e4.

"What's with that condescending scowl? Or is that just your fixed look after shaving all your hair off?" the woman scoffed as she moved her bishop to g7.

"I have reason to be angry. You're a Desperado that does bad things," Mimoko glared as she moved her knight to f3.

"Huh!? That's just your discriminating opinion!" the woman fumed as she moved her pawn to c5.

"The Pterodactyl Defense... Perhaps I'll try the next best line," Mimoko thought as she moved her pawn to c3.

"Your baldness make you deaf and stupid!? I sure hope the DESPER's definition of deformed makes you look like a living zombie," the woman scoffed as she captured the pawn at d4 with her c-pawn.

"And there's the proof of your wickedness," Mimoko sighed as she captured the pawn at d4 with her c-pawn.

"The hell are you talking about!?" the woman fumed as she launched her pawn to d5.

"You've made the losing conditions for me that I become heavily deformed and hideous and that I rob both everyone in this room and every bank in the world, or die in the process. How is that not indicative of your cruel personality?" Mimoko glared as she moved her pawn to e5.

"I... I was forced to say it!" the woman stammered as she moved her knight to c6.

"My apologies, but I don't believe you," Mimoko scowled as she moved her bishop to b5.

"Bald really did make you looney," the woman spat in disgust as she moved her pawn to a6.

"I fail to see how my baldness has any affect on things. Check," Mimoko sighed as she captured the knight at c6 with her bishop.

"Everyone knows bald makes you stupid," the woman huffed as she captured the bishop at c6 with her b-pawn.

"Then are you inadvertently calling yourself half-stupid?" Mimoko asked as she moved her pawn to h3.

"Huh!? My head's inked! And I didn't shave off my eyebrows and pluck out my eyelashes like a freak!" the woman trembled with fury as she moved her queen to c7.

"I'll admit, I once thought complete baldness was out there, though I respected those who were willing to embrace it," Mimoko stated as she castled king's side.

"So what changed?" the woman snarled as she moved her rook to b8.

"Well, I was kidnapped and shaved bald against my will, but little did I know, that would plant the seeds for my bald fetish awakening," Mimoko blushed and smiled as she moved her knight to c3.

"Uh, so you're saying you became a bald freako pervert?" the woman nervously asked as she moved her bishop to e6.

"Well, I can't exactly refute critiques like that. It is true I do prefer my twintails, but there's no denying it now; sometimes I just want to lay back in the salon chair and get shaved to peak femininity smoothness," Mimoko giggled as she moved her knight to a4.

"Hyperaccelerated fetishist freak," the woman scowled as she clicked her tongue and moved her queen to a7.

"We are actually playing a Hyperaccelerated Dragon, the normal kind, after I disrupted your Pterodactyl Defense with c3," Mimoko smiled as she moved her bishop to f4.

"What the hell!? Dragons and dinosaurs? Are you one of those fucking anime-loving sluts too?" the woman cringed in disgust as she moved her bishop to h6.

Mimoko's smile quickly faded. "I have many friends, male and female, that are otakus. Not to mention, I may not be an anime otaku, but I sure as hell could qualify as a Mizuse Niimi fashion otaku. Though, I guess I shouldn't wrinkle my face by scowling. Your punishment will be coming soon," she declared as her smile returned and she captured the bishop at h6 with her bishop.

"Wrong," the woman snarled as she captured the bishop at h6 with her knight.

"No, you actually said many wrongful things. For example, Pterodactyls are NOT dinosaurs," Mimoko stated as she moved her queen to d2.

"WHO GIVES A FUCK! They're dinosaurs, they fly, they roar!" the woman fumed as she slammed her knight down on f5.

"Dragons can roar too," Mimoko smirked as she moved her pawn to g4.

"And are you supposed to be some hyperaccelerated bald dragon?" the woman scoffed as she moved her knight to g7.

Mimoko responded by moving her queen to h6 before making a clawing motion with her hand and smiling as she let out a cute and soft, "Rawr."

The woman's eyes went bloodshot as she clicked her tongue in fury and stared at the board. "I'm glad I was cruel out of the gate. This bitch deserves to die a miserable and disgraced death," she thought as she castled king's side.

And in that moment, Mimoko's smile slowly widened as she silently moved her knight to g5.

"What the- ...!"

The woman's haughty demeanor instantly vanished as did all the color from her face. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!" she frantically thought as she moved her f-rook to e8.

"Sorry, but King f8 was the best way to defend your knight, not castling. Check," Mimoko smirked as she captured the pawn at h7 with her queen.

"NO! I WAS SET UP! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO PRISON! YES! YOU CAN'T SEND ME TO PRISON!" the woman madly smiled.

"Why?"

"I'm Stanislava. Stanislava Drozdová! I'm immortal, so if you send me to prison, all the victims I've left in my wake will never get their old lives back!"

"What do you mean?"

"I made it so that the only way they can regain their lives is if I die, but since I'm immortal, the only way to kill me is in a DESPER match! But if you send me to the prison, TOO BAD! I'll be protected from DESPER matches until the end of time, and get the last laugh as I lounge in luxury behind bars at all the victims that will hate and resent you for your stupidity!" Stanislava cackled as she moved her king to f8.

"You're saying that I should have requested your punishment be death?" Mimoko asked as her expression began to darken.

"Yes, but oh wait! You don't kill, or will I be your first, or will you change course and try to go for a draw!? Oh how-"

"Checkmate. Sorry, but I don't believe a word of what you're saying. I just want to go home and get my hair back," Mimoko glared as she moved her queen to h8, winning the game.

Stanislava went silent as her mouth hung open and sweat raced down her face before she lost consciousness on the spot.

Mimoko's hair slowly began to regrow, causing the crowd to coo in wonder.

"Stanislava lost? Well her rating's inflated, so it shouldn't be too shocking. I wonder who this is," Milkia thought as she scanned Mimoko with her WWCF card.

No sooner did she do so did her face go pale and her jaw drop with horror. "M- Mm- MIMOKO INOUE!?"

Gasps emanated from the crowd. "OI! Were you two trying to get us killed!" one man shouted at the stage, only to find the Raven sisters had long since left.

Mimoko gazed around in confusion, but before anyone else could get in a word, her hair finished regrowing and she was warped back home. Stanislava was also warped away, presumably to WWCF prison.

"Mimoko Inoue... DAMN IT! Business will take a huge hit if word gets out she was here!" Milkia fumed!

"No need to worry about that," a soft voice stated.

Milkia froze as she turned around to come face-to-face with Mimoko Tanabe. "Y- You-"

"My, even though I intervened, my kidnapping still played out just like before. Those Ravens truly are a menace, and so are you, Milkia," Mimoko Tanabe smiled as she stroked Milkia's face. "How about we have a private match in bed."

...

Mimoko let out a sigh as she plopped down at the dinner table.

"So? You were gone for hours. The Desperado give you trouble?" Daria asked as she played with Mimoko's hair.

"Trouble is an understatement. I was kidnapped and nearly sold into slavery at some shady tavern. By chance, a Desperado happened to be in the bidding crowd, and I was able to activate their DESPER with the key."

"Who'd you beat?"

"She said her name was Stanislava."

Daria's expression darkened. "Was it Stanislava Drozdová, rated 2110, beatenin ust 20 moves?"

"Yes? Did you already look up the game?"

Fear gripped Daria's face as she slowly nodded. Yes, I looked it up as you were in the shower."

"Why do you look so pale?"

"Because, shortly after you left, I was able to access a game on Mimoko Tanabe's profile. It came up a few minutes before your game was stated to have started, but move-for-move, everything is the same. This Mimoko's rating is even the same as yours is now."

Now it was Mimoko's turn to go pale. "What... What does that even mean?"
