Chapter 866:

Svetlana's girlfriend

En Passant Grandmaster


Once things were done for the day, Mimoko confronted Svetlana as she tried to leave.

"Move," Svetlana snarled.

"I want to talk with you!" Mimoko frowned.

"I don't."

"I just want to know more about your girlfriend."

Svetlana stopped and slowly turned, eyes bloodshot. "He told you... He told you, didn't he?"

"Y- Yes..."

Svetlana attempted to summon forth all the rage in the world, yet all she could muster was tears. "Ursha... She was the only girl who got me... AND HE TOOK HER! HE TOOK HER FROM ME!"

"I'm-"

"Just leave me alone! My whole damn mission was to come here and get close to you!" Svetlana cried as she ran away.

"I struck a nerve, huh..."

...

Mimoko laid on her bed as she fiddled around with her WWCF card. "Ursha, Ursha, there's so many here, I can't tell which one it is. Even when I try to narrow things down to ones that are deceased and Russian, there's still too many to sort through. Even when I try to filter in Desperado League membership, still too many. Could this be deliberate?" she groaned.

A knock on the door interrupted her searching as she closed her WWCF card as Daria entered with a tray of food. "Didn't come down for dinner. Are you still hung up on Svetlana?"

"Yes... She even trued to distance herself from me by saying her whole reason for becoming a model was to get close to me."

"Perhaps-"

"It's a lie. There's no way they could've known I'd want to become a model."

Daria frowned as she went into a think. "When you put it that way... Though the tsar is highly intelligent. I wouldn't put it past him to predict your movements."

"I'm not convinced. Not even Tanabe-kun was able to predict that she'd be there, and he has a good read on people. TANABE-KUN!"

"Hmm?"

"Ah, I just remembered something about him," Mimoko nervously laughed.

A mischievous grin began to morph onto Daria's face. "Oh did you? I saw you two going on a jog this morning. That's the first time you've gone joggin' with a boy."

Mimoko's face began to turn red. "Mo! Get out!" she cried as she reached for her pillow.

"Ohohohoho! Enjoy your youth," Daira giggled as she skipped out of Mimoko's room.

Once the coast was clear, Mimoko pulled up her WWCF card and began searching through Okisato's games. "No, no, Ah! This might be it," she thought as she stumbled across a game between Okisato and one Ursha Veneyeva. "It says it's also a DESPER match. Hmm, better do a quick search just in case there's other Urshas."

But all there was in Okisato's match history was Ursha Veneyeva.

"So this really is her... Svetlana's girlfriend," Mimoko gulped as she stared at an image of a girl with a dyed silver mullet.
