Okisato vs Hagemi

Peter stared at Amelia as she walked away. "She's the Norwegian maestro. I've been wanting to try and face her, but her SPCMs are under lock and key so to say, and I've been too booked to plan an expedition to Norway to try and find all the secret puzzle cafes. But now that this is over, I'll be off. She's one of two maestros I still have yet to beat."

"You've never faced the 7th one?" Mimoko asked.

"No, and it seems they will be the last one I face, yet I feel the challenge with them lies more in finding them than playing them. Not one person even seems to have beaten an SPCM from their nation, and with how many nations are already crossed off the list to be housing the maestro, I'm feeling like the 7th maestro resides in a very remote corner of the world. That, and you can't buy any information on their whereabouts. That being said, you still have yet to beat more maestros than Okisato Tanabe. Though you beat him soundly in the tournament, he will catch you eventually."

And with that, Peter was off.

"Tanabe-kun... Say, where did he go?"

...

In the secret puzzle cafe, Hagemi opened the game by moving her pawn to e4, while Okisato decided to move his pawn to f5.

"Oi, are you trying to piss me off?" Hagemi glared as she captured said pawn with her e-pawn.

"I beat Maestro Himitsu with this opening," Okisato shrugged as he moved his pawn to g6.

"Look, I think you're interesting, but I ain't believing you're capable of that," Hagemi snarled as she instantly captured the pawn at g6 with her f-pawn.

Then allow me to repeat history," Okisato smirked as he captured said pawn with his h-pawn.

And just like in the game against Maestro Himitsu, queen g4 and king f7 were played, setting up the line of knight f3, knight c6, bishop d3, and rook h6, before Hagemi decided to play pawn b4, causing her position to shake just a bit. However, Okisato failed to capitalize perfectly and moved his pawn to d5 instead of d6.

"Check. I'm in a bad mood, especially since Yuusuke won by not winning a single game, and got that damn letter," Hagemi glared as she moved her knight to g5.

"And ironically it was your whole reaction that got me curious," Okisato declared as he gently moved his king to e8.

"Why do you want to know?" Hagemi growled as she plopped her queen down on f4.

"It's my job to hunt the shadows," Okisato proclaimed as he moved his knight to f6.

"You're wasting your time. These folks aren't ones you can just hunt down and be done with," Hagemi scowled as she moved her bishop to d2.

"How come?" Okisato asked as he moved his queen to d6.

"I'm not telling you unless you beat me," Hagemi glared as she moved her bishop to d2.

"Then I'll just have to beat you," Okisato shrugged as he moved his queen to d6.
