Chapter 8:

Iori's soggy Důras

En Passant Grandmaster Volume 7

As the commentators returned from commercial break, they were flooded by comments ordering them to show the game between Iori and Agatha. They obliged, but were unable to see what all the fuss was about.

"Looks like Iori played a Důras Gambit, that's e4, f5. E captures f5 and knight f6 followed along with c3, d5, g4, h5, f3, h captures g4, f captures g4, and knight c6 have all been played... I get it, the eval bar's in Iori's favor, but believe it or not, the Důras Gambit, despite it's dubiousness, does have like a 50% win rate for Black," Laila growled.

The comments, however, didn't cease, demanding they "show live footage of the board".

"What do you mean, chat? We're showing you live footage, unless you mean from the playing hall?"

A flood of "Yes" insured, causing Laila to raise an eyebrow, but nonetheless pull up some camera footage, and regretted it.

"Wh- WHY THE HELL IS SHE NAKED!?"

As a result of getting drenched thanks to a break in the ceiling, Iori had stripped to nothing but her undergarments as arbiters provided her with a warm blanket. Her hair was also still wet, but she was relishing in her soggy state as it was bound to increase views.

"Tch, she's relishing in her soaked state. Well won't be for much longer when I beat her!" Agatha thought as she moved her pawn to d4.

"Those damn commentators better be zooming in on my soggy bra! The only reason I'm still wearing it along with my panties is so they won't get age-restricted, so they better honor their commitment and keep the cameras on me!" Iori thought as she moved her pawn to e6.

Agatha decided to resume her attack by moving her pawn to g5, sending Iori's knight to e4. She followed up with bishop to b5, which Iori countered by simply moving her bishop to d6. This caused Agatha to focus her attention elsewhere and capture the pawn at e6 with her f-pawn.

"Well, lol, thanks for the free win," Iori thought as she captured the pawn at e6 with her bishop.

Indeed, Iori was most certainly in a winning position, more so after Agatha moved her queen to f3. Iori's queen to d7 ploy did slightly decrease her advantage, but Agatha's bishop to a4 play brought it right back up.

"Ironic that I got soaked, since I'm winning this," Iori thought as she moved her bishop to g4.

Agatha scowled and moved her queen to g2, but only became more flustered after Iori moved her queen to e6. "That is bad. That damn knight's preparing to go full crusader on me. I can't let her check me," she thought as she moved her knight to e2.

"That ain't gonna stop me. Now scowl some more!" Iori gleefully thought as she moved her knight to g3.

Agatha shook her head in frustration and slid her rook to g1, but it didn't matter as Iori's focus was on capturing the knight at e2 with her bishop. Agatha let out an audible groan as she moved her queen to f2 before sinking her hand into her face. She knew rook captures h2 was coming next, and mate somewhere down the line as well. But she could at least get one check in.

"Check, I won't resign. I'll never concede defeat to a Duras!" Agatha fumed as she captured the knight at c6 with her bishop.

"Perfect, more sexy screen time for me," Iori thought as she smirked and captured the bishop at c6 with her b-pawn.

Agatha began trembling as she moved her queen to e3. "I can't lose to this. I CAN'T LOSE TO THIS!" she fumed in her mind as Iori captured the queen at e3 with her queen.

Agatha promptly captured said queen with her bishop, but the queen trade did little to delay the mate. Next came a queen's side castle from Iori, followed by Agatha angrily moving her pawn to c4. Then after bishop g4, Agatha hastened her demise by moving her pawn to c5.

Iori welcomed the development and gleefully slid her rook to e8, prompting Agatha to capture the knight at g3 with her rook.

"Taking my horses down with ya? Sheesh, give the soggy girl a break. Check!" Iori snickered as she captured the rook at g3 with her bishop, sending Agatha's king to f1.

Next she captured the bishop at e3 with her rook, prompting Agatha to mount one last-ditch counterattack in the form of knight c3, but it was nothing but smoke and mirrors as Iori knew what she was doing and moved her bishop to f2.

"We're 2-0 in the hole now... We'd better not get swept!" Agatha nervously thought as she moved her pawn to b4.

"Checkmate! Now time to ditch the soggy panties and bra!" Iori exclaimed as she slammed her bishop down on h3, winning the game.

Yet before she could strip live, the cameras cut out. However, everyone nearby was able to catch a glance, causing many in the chat to wish those people had been them.

"Ngh, why are they so big!?" Agatha trembled as she got a full view of Iori's prized melons.

"AHHHH! NOT WHOLESOME! NOT WHOLESOME!" Sherbert thought as she covered up her reddening face with her hands.

"Iori-chan, do TRY to show decorum," Mimoko thought.
