The false maestro

Mimoko stared in shock at the revelation. "Y- You're not even a WWCF member!?"

"Nah, that would completely ruin my scheme. See if I joined the WWCF, I wouldn't be able to pose as a maestro and make enough bank to live the dream life with my harem," Ai grinned.

"Then how did you-"

"I seduced some lovely ladies, that's how," Ai cooed as she French kissed Michiko. "Now off with you. I want to be alone with her."

Michiko obediently nodded and left.

"I can't believe you put such a cruel fate on her," Mimoko glared.

"She got close to you, that's why, and well, Safumi-chan was getting real antsy that I was spending more time with Michiko than her, so she's now relegated to maid slave! AHAHAHAHA!"

"You're insane, and despicable. I will beat you."

"Then begin, you may play as white."

Mimoko nodded as a small screen showing an overview of the board appeared before her. She immediately opened by moving her pawn to e4.

"Well isn't that standard. How about a Caro-Kann?" Ai sneered as she moved her pawn to c6.

"I can easily handle the Caro-Kann defense," Mimoko glared as she moved her pawn to d4.

Ai let loose a malicious smile as she moved her pawn to d5. Mimoko responded by moving her knight to c3, followed by Ai capturing the pawn at e4 with her d-pawn.

"Main line it is then," Mimoko thought as she captured the pawn at e4 with her knight.

Ai then moved her knight to f6, prompting Mimoko to capture it with her knight, however, the move was merely a knight trade as Ai simply captured said knight with her g-pawn.

"Now it's a Caro-Kann defense: Bronstein-Lartion varition," Ai giggled as Mimoko moved her knight to f3.

"You sure know your terminology," Mimoko glared as Ai moved her rook to g8.

"You forget, I have Michiko. She's a chess encyclopedia, as well as a good head massager," Ai gushed as Mimoko moved her queen to d3.

"Michiko-chan caught wind of your plan, yet you brainwashed her like the others," Mimoko glared as Ai moved her queen to d5.

"Pin-pon, correct! I got her under my control ages ago. Best of all, I can even allow all the ladies in my harem to have free will for a moment. But now, my harem is being destroyed," Ai pouted as Mimoko captured the pawn at h7 with her queen.

"You're the one that put those horrible losing conditions on them. When I beat you, you'll be turning yourself in for all you've done," Mimoko glared as Ai moved her rook to g6.

"That doesn't sound bad. I'd get shaved daily in prison and could expand my harem there. Underground chess matches are quite rampant throughout the prisons," Ai sneered as Mimoko moved her bishop to e3.

"Why are you so obsessed with being bald?" Mimoko asked as Ai moved her rook to g7.

"BECAUSE IT'S EROTIC AND SEXY! Oh, the day I first had all my hair shaved off was GLORIOUS! I got so wet and have been 24/7 horny ever since!" Ai shouted as Mimoko moved her queen to h8. "Though thanks to a dumb bet, my hair all grows back whenever I promote a pawn to a queen in a proper match. I hate it, but then again, it allows me to relive the day I went from long luscious jet black hair to COMPLETELY DESTROYED HAIR FOLLICLES BALD BROWLESS AND LASHLESS! AHAHAHAHA!" she laughed as she slammed her knight down on d7.

Mimoko stared at Ai with a look of pure disgust before momentarily moving her knight to d2. "You disgust me. And why did you attack my mom?" she glared as Ai moved her pawn to f5.

"Hi-Mi-Tsu," Ai taunted as Mimoko moved her queen to h5.

"I see. Then we're done talking. Chess is supposed to be a quiet sport anyway," Mimoko growled as Ai moved her knight to f6.

The players both went silent and began increasing the playing speed. Mimoko moved her queen to f3 while Ai moved her bishop to e6. She followed up by moving her pawn to c4, forcing Ai to move her queen to the safety of a5. Mimoko then began to set something up by moving her pawn to a3, while Ai opted to move her rook to d8 before Mimoko castled on the queen's side on her next turn.

"Ahahaha, she really is in focus mode. So much so that she's gotten tunnel vision. Perhaps this truly is the strategy needed to break her," Ai thought as she moved her queen to a4.

Mimoko then moved her pawn out to h4, prompting Ai to move her pawn to b5. Sensing an opportunity, Mimoko captured the pawn at c6 with her queen, putting Ai's king in check and forcing her to move her bishop to d7. She then slid her queen to the safety of b7 while Ai opted to move her rook to c8.

Sensing Ai's intentions, Mimoko moved her pawn to c5, while Ai moved her pawn to f4. Mimoko captured said pawn with her bishop, but Ai countered by capturing the pawn at d4 with her queen.

"So she's going to get back another pawn," Mimoko sighed as she moved her bishop to e3.

"Checkedy check! You're in check!" Ai taunted as she captured the pawn at c5 with her rook.

Mimoko anticipated this, and simply moved her king to b1, while Ai slid her queen up to d5. Mimoko decided to accept the queen trade and captured the queen at d5 with her queen followed by Ai capturing said queen with her rook. She then captured the pawn at a7 with her bishop, but Ai moved her bishop to f5, forcing her to move her king to a2 on her next turn.

"My, she looks so serious. I wonder if she's aware of everything, or truly focused just on the game," Ai thought as she moved her rook to g6.

Mimoko decided to go after the rook and moved her pawn to h5, sending Ai's rook to the safety of g8. She then brought her bishop out to e2 while Ai brought her own bishop out to h6. As soon as she moved her knight to b3, Ai decided to trade rooks and captured the rook at d1 with her rook, forcing Mimoko to capture said rook with her remaining rook on her next turn. This allowed Ai to capture the pawn at g2 with her rook, however, things were still in Mimoko's favor.

"Check," Mimoko declared as she captured the pawn at b5 with her bishop, forcing Ai's king to f8.

She then advanced her pawn to a4, causing a slight smile to form on Ai's face as she moved her bishop to e6. Mimoko didn't seem to notice, and simply moved her rook to d8, forcing Ai's king to g7.

She then moved her own king to a3 while Ai moved her bishop to f4. Mimoko decided to increase her control of the board and moved her knight to d4, forcing Ai's bishop to the safety of g4. Next, she moved her bishop to b6, while Ai nudged her rook down to g1. Sensing Ai's plan, Mimoko promptly moved her king to a2.

"Hmm, I hope that was done more out of practicality. Then again, her only chance of winning is to go with that," Ai thought as she moved her rook to h1.

Mimoko then moved her pawn to a5 while Ai moved her pawn to e5, threatening Mimoko's knight. However, Mimoko turned the tables by moving her bishop to e2, causing Ai to click her tongue and move her bishop to d7.

"This is the first time I've seen her get frustrated. Well, the game is completely in my favor now," Mimoko thought as she moved her pawn to a6.

Ai began to scowl as she captured the knight at d4 with her e-pawn and watched as Mimoko captured the bishop at d7 with her rook. She then moved her rook to e1, however, Mimoko didn't seem to care about the threatened bishop on e2 as she moved her rook to d8.

"Yes, YES! Now she has no shot at victory if she doesn't promote the pawn!" Ai thought as she captured the bishop at e2 with her rook.

"You certainly seem confident, or perhaps it's more derangement," Mimoko glared as she moved her pawn to a7.

"'Derangement' you say? How so? I'M WINNING!" Ai shouted as she moved her rook to e6.

"No, you now stand no chance at winning," Mimoko glared as she moved her pawn to a8 and promoted it into a queen.

BOOM!

Mimoko froze in horror as the sight of blood and guts flying into the air accompanied by sound of a bloodcurdling scream. With a loud splat, Kotora's bloodied body landed a few feet away from Mimoko.

"And now, I win," Ai sneered as a malicious smile spread across her face.
