Chapter 879:

Leona and Nyoan on the moon

En Passant Grandmaster

Eventually, it came time for the chess game to be played on the moon. Blasting off in one of the Ginkawa's private rockets, Nyoan and Leona arrived at the moon in just 5 minutes.

"Yo, it's your girl, Leona coming to you from the moon! Nyoan the catgirl's here too," Leona grinned as she panned the camera over to Nyoan, who was busy setting up the chessboard.

"Hi, nya," Nyoan waved.

Once the chessboard was set up, Leona did the opening proper. "YO! It's your girl, Leona, here on the moon! I'm with a girl who claims to be a catgirl, but unless she takes off that wool hat, we can't confirm, so I'm gonna try and beat her at chess to try and get her to take off her hat. Oh, and winner gets 10,000 dollars. That's right, dollars, not yen. Oh, and loser gets 5,000 just for coming out."

"Nya, I'll be fed, but I want to win, nya," Nyoan sighed as her stomach rumbled.

"Alright, loser has to down a vat of wasabi back on earth," Leona grinned as she opened by moving her pawn to f3.

"Nya? You like wasabi, nya?" Nyoan asked as she moved her pawn to e5.

"Um, YES!" Leona replied as she moved her knight to h3.

"Guess that's why you want to lose, nya," Nyoan scoffed as she moved her pawn to d5.

"Hey, this is a strat. I studied up on this before coming here," Leona smirked as she moved her knight to f2.

"Nya! Wait, this is the Krazy Kat, nya!" Nyoan gasped as she moved her knight to f6.

"Well hey, you're a catgirl, so it's fitting. Oh, and we take off your hat to see your ears if I win," Leona snickered as she moved her pawn to e3.

"Nyo! Nyot that, nya!" Nyoan cried as she moved her knight to c6.

"Then double the wasabi," Leona laughed as she moved her bishop to e2.

"That's even worse, nya!" Nyoan shrieked as she moved her bishop to c5.

"Would you rather chug the wasabi or show off your ears?" Leona asked as she castled king's side.

"Neither, because I'm winning, nya!" Nyoan retorted as she also castled king's side.

"Oh, before I retort, shout outs to Milfmilk69 for sponsoring this. Oh, and the opening we just played is known as the Blue Moon Defense. Fitting, since we're on the moon," Leona grinned as she moved her pawn to c3.

"Nya, the moon's made of cheese, and cheese is made of milk, nya," Nyoan groaned as she moved her bishop to b6.

"Hungry?" Leona asked as she moved her pawn to d4.

"Nyess, nya," Nyoan sighed as she moved her bishop to e6.

"Guess the spaceship ride was so fast we didn't get to eat any of the freeze dried stuff before we got here," Leona shrugged as she moved her pawn to a4.

"Nya," Nyoan groaned as she moved her pawn to a5.

"Oh, and I'm winning," Leona smirked as she moved her knight to d3.

"NYA! You asshole, nya!" Nyoan fumed as she moved her bishop to f5.

Seeing an opening, Leona captured the pawn at e5 with her knight, resulting in Nyoan capturing said knight with her knight. Leona recaptured said knight with her d-pawn, but then Nyoan made a huge blunder as she moved her bishop to a7.

"WAIT-"

"Too late!" Leona grinned as she captured the knight at f6 with her e-pawn.

"... NYAHAHAHA! FOOLED YOU, NYA!" Nyoan cackled as she captured the knight at b1 with her bishop.

"Uh... nope?" Leona shrugged as she captured the pawn at g7 with her f-pawn.

"NYAAAAA!" Nyoan cried as she captured the pawn at g7 with her king.

"Lol, I get another piece," Leona smirked as she captured the bishop at b1 with her rook.

"NYOOOOOOOOOO!" Nyoan wailed as she moved her rook to c8.

Things only got easier for Leona after she moved her pawn to f4, as in response, Nyoan moved her rook to g8, giving her the free move of pawn to b4 in order to possibly fianchetto her bishop. She was given another gift in the form of Nyoan moving her rook to e8, allowing her to capture the pawn at a5 with her b-pawn.

"I'm not letting you win, nya! Check, nya!" Nyoan fumed as she captured the pawn at e3 with her bishop.

"Noob move," Leona snickered as she captured the bishop at e3 with her bishop.

"I saw that, nya!" Nyoan retorted as she captured the bishop at e3 with her rook.

"Uh, check?" Leona scoffed as she moved her queen to d4.

"NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nyoan cried as she moved her queen to f6, allowing Leona to capture the rook at e3 with her queen.

With little choice, Nyoan initiated a queen trade by moving her queen to e6, prompting Leona to accept and capture said queen with her queen. Nyoan then captured said queen with her f-pawn.

With the queens off the board, Leona turned her sights elsewhere and captured the pawn at b7 with her rook. Nyoan quickly moved her king to h6, but after Leona advanced her pawn to a6, she blundered and moved her pawn to c6.

"Yooo! I can see this one. All that practice against Crowboy just paid off," Leona grinned as she moved her bishop to d3.

"Nya? I don't see anything, nya," Nyoan scoffed as she moved her rook to h8.

"What about now?" Leona smirked as she moved her rook to f3.

Nyoan's tail shot up as she saw it. "Nyo... NYAAAA!" she cried as she moved her king to h5.

"No resigning when we're so close to mating," Leona grinned as she moved her rook to h3, checking Nyoan.

"Nya, I know, nya!" Nyoan fumed as she moved her king to g4.

"Then your final move, please?" Leona snickered as she moved her rook to f7.

"Nya! I hate space, nya! Also, I want odds rules, nya!" Nyoan ranted as she moved her rook to g8.

"The only odds here are in my favor. Checkmate," Leona grinned as she moved her bishop to e2, winning the game.

Thus, the game on the moon had been won by Leona, and upon her return to earth, Nyoan was forced to snarf down a whole vat of wasabi.

"Nya... I hate wasabi, nya," Nyoan groaned as she flopped to the ground with a stomach full of wasabi.

"Wasabi rules," Leona smiled.
