Chapter 200:

Chess at the hot spring [Special]

En Passant Grandmaster


At a hot spring on the mountains, Mimoko scowled as she found herself sitting nude alongside Carol and Iori. The two had invited her to come to a relaxing hotspring with them, which she accepted. However, she should have known better as not only were the two streaming the experience, but there were also swaths of Japanese macaques soaking in the spring as well.

"Why ya covering up? It's just girls and monkeys here," Iori snickered.

"Um, maybe it's because YOU'RE FILMING EVERY DAMN SECOND OF THIS!"

"Why the freakout? Me n' Cece-chan both have our nudes online, which by the way can be viewed by subbing to our N00DZ 0nly accounts."

"TURN OFF THE DAMN CAMERA NOW!"

"Nah... Cuz we're about to make a massive hot springs bet!"

Mimoko's eyes widened as Iori summoned a 4-player chess board with her WWCF card atop the water's surface.

"Today, we're gonna play some 4-way chess, nude in the hot spring! Grandmaster Mimo-chan seems to be a bit shy about showing off her tits, but me n' Cece will be bearing it all. Best of all, the steam's minimal so enjoy the treat, that's normally reserved for N00DZ 0nly subs!"

"And how is this even allowed on Ewetube!?"

"Uh, Ewetube's CEO, Milfmilk69 is big on this shit, and does it herself," Carol stated.

"Great, the CEO's a perv."

"That being said, Iori-chan and I tend to get age restricted the most due to being on the anti-family friendly spectrum more often than not. Not like it really matters since we still get just as much ad revenue as the others thanks to Milfmilk."

"Surprised ya never heard of her. She's also mega rich and head of that Ginkawa family in Tokyo."

"Ginkawa... That I've heard mention of a few times. They're said to be the richest family in the world, and you're saying their head is a perverted streamer?"

"YUP!!"

Mimoko glared and sunk into the water as Iori continued her spiel. "Now for the challenge, just regular ole 4-way chess against a grandmaster would suck for us, which is why we'll be playing 4-way chess giveaway with the Modern setup! Rules are simple, first one to get rid of all their pieces firs wins! As for what... Splurge day at the ice cream parlor. As for the one that finishes last, a hair removal makeover!"

"Ugh, this again!? I'm not shaving my head!"

"Won't just be your head, you'll get your whole body shaved regardless of how smooth it already is LIVE ON STREAM! And before you ask, our 4th guest player is none other than... THAT MONKEY OVER THERE!"

A male monkey chattered and paddled over as Mimoko sat dazed and angry at the fact that she was now roped into another one of Iori's dumb bets. "Well fine, I'm playing as red then, so I'll make sure to clean your pockets dry!"

"That's the spirit! That means I'm blue, Cece-chan's yellow, and our guest monkey's green. Oh, and try not to hide your tits all the time so that we can get more views and likes on the vid," Iori snickered.

Mimoko sighed and opened by moving her pawn to h4, followed by Iori moving her pawn to d6, Carol moving her pawn to f11, and the monkey moving his pawn to k7. Since capturing was compulsorily, Mimoko had to capture the monkey's king at n8 with her king, however, Iori could still move her knight to c9, and Carol could move her pawn to d11, while the monkey was naturally forced to capture Mimoko's queen at n8 with his queen.

The 3rd move saw the start of mass slaughter with Mimoko capturing Iori's pawn at d6 with her bishop, Iori capturing arol's pawn at d11 with her knight, forcing Carol to capture said knight with her rook, while the monkey captured Carol's pawn at g13 with his bishop. Mimoko then had the opportunity to capture Iori's pawn at b4, forcing Iori to capture said bishop with her rook, setting up the chance for Mimoko to make a free move next turn. However, Carol extinquished those plans by opting to capture the pawn at d2 with her rook, and as a result, the monkey's bishop she had spared captured Iori's pawn at b8.

"Ugh, you've gotta be kidding me," Mimoko growled as she was forced to capture Carol's rook at d2 with her rook.

"Hey, we can silently and mutually agree to team up if it suits our moods," Iori snickered as she captured the monkey's bishop at b8 with her bishop.

Luckily, this forced Carol to capture said bishop with her queen, unfortunately, the mischievious monkey moved his queen to g1, forcing Mimoko to capture it with her king. Iori then opted to capture Mimoko's pawn at h4 with her rook, however, Carol then captured the monkey's pawn at m8 with her queen, forcing the monkey to capture it with his bishop.

"See, we collude only when it suits us," Carol snickered as Mimoko shot her a glare and moved her king to h1.

"Whoops, guess you're not at the top of your game in 4-way chess giveaway!" Iori taunted as instead of capturing Mimoko's king with her rook, she captured the Carol's pawn at h13, prompting Carol to return the favor by capturing said rook with her knight.

To make matters worse, the monkey decided to target Mimoko's pawn at g2 with his bishop, rather than Carol's knight, which meant Mimoko would be forced to capture said bishop with either her bishop or king. She chose to do so with the latter, but began to regret her choice as Iori was able to move her queen to d8, due to not being forced to capture anything. Carol also had a free move, and used it to send her bishop to f8, forcing the monkey to take it with his pawn.

As her three opponents began maliciously snickering, Mimoko let out a frustrated groan and captured Iori's queen at d8 with her rook. Now with free moves, Iori moved her pawn to d9, Carol moved her knight to g11, and the monkey moved his knight to f9. Not wanting to give Iori an advantage, Mimoko opted to capture the monkey's pawn at l8 with her rook, though much to her dismay, her opponents had another round of free turns, this time going knight c4, knight e10, and rook n8, respectively.

Once again forced to take a piece, Mimoko opted for the monkey's knight at l9. Iori meanwhile was forced to capture Carol's knight at e10 with her 9-pawn, which Carol promptly captured with her f-pawn. It was then that the monkey suddenly burst into a series of angry chattering as he was forced to capture Mimoko's rook at l9 with his 10-pawn.

Now with the chance to make a free move, Mimoko moved her pawn to e4, while Iori moved her king to a8, and Carol moved her rook to j14. The monkey meanwhile was forced to capture Iori's king at a8 with his rook.

"And it looks like I'm back in this," Mimoko smirked as she captured Iori's pawn at c4 with her bishop.

Much to Iori's dismay, capturing Mimoko's bishop with her 5-pawn was her best play as she needed the monkey's rook alive in order to clean out her pieces. Carol took the chance to move her pawn to k11, but then the monkey threw a wrench in Iori's plan by capturing her bishop at a6 instead of her rook.

"You shitty little monkey!"

"Don't worry, now I feel like colluding with you," Mimoko smirked as she moved her knight to d3.

Iori stared at the board for a minute before clicking her tongue and capturing Mimoko's knight at d3 with her 4-pawn. "This is my quickest path to victory anyway," she grumbled as Carol moved her pawn to k10. "OI CECE-CHAN! THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Hey, I wanna win too," Carol snickered as the monkey giddily captured her pawn at k10 with his 9-pawn.

"THIS IS BETRAYAL!" Iori fumed as Mimoko moved her knight to i3.

"How so? You aren't forced to capture that monkey's rook you know," Mimoko snickered.

Iori shot her a glare and captured her pawn at e4 with her 3-pawn. "I know EXACTLY what you're gonna do next, you little bitch."

Mimoko merely chuckled as Carol suddenly became nervous upon realizing she couldn't make good use of her free move. As her move clock ticked down, she frantically moved her king to h13, while the monkey was forced to capture Iori's rook at a11 with his rook.

Iori wasn't all smiles though as Mimoko moved her knight to g2, forcing her to capture it with her 3-pawn. Her frustrations only grew as Carol moved her pawn to e11, allowing the monkey to capture it with his rook, further distancing victory from Iori. And after Mimoko moved her rook to h1, things were looking even bleaker for Iori as in addition to capturing it, she'd have to promote her pawn. However, rules allowed for the pawn to be promoted to any piece, thus upon capturing the rook at h1, she promoted her pawn to a rook.

"HAH! NOT WINNING NOW, MIMO-CHAN!" Iori shouted as Carol moved her pawn to i10.

"And that rook of yours will only hinder you further," Mimoko countered as the monkey captured Carol's pawn at e10 with his rook.

"Wha- What do you mean?" Iori trembled as Mimoko moved her pawn to j4.

"You're forced to capture the king- ...!"

Mimoko's face suddenlt went pale as malicious smirks formed on the faces of her three opponents.

"PSYCH! We played ya!" Iori laughed as she captured Carol's king at h13 with her rook.

This forced Carol to capture said rook with her bishop, then much to Mimoko's horror, the monkey captured Iori's pawn at b10 with his rook, rather than Carol's knight, leaving Iori with just a single pawn on the board.

"Lol, what ya gonna do now!?" Iori taunted as Mimoko trembled in frustration.

While she only had 4 pawns left, there was no guarantee she wouldn't get last due to how mischievously her opponents were playing. However, she saw one long-shot at victory and moved her pawn to f4.

While she only had one pawn left on the board, Iori still had to move it, which led to her launching it to d7. Carol was now forced to capture the monkey's pawn at k10 with her bishop, while the monkey was forced to capture her pawn at i10 with his rook. That allowed Mimoko to move her pawn to i4, setting up a nasty capture combo. Iori could do nothing but move her pawn to e7 and hope Carol would do something to thwart the plan. Luckily for her, she did by moving her bishop to i8, forcing the monkey to capture it with his rook.

Yet Mimoko didn't seem phased as she moved her pawn to k4. Iori had no choice but to move her pawn to f7, while Carol was also powerless to stop Mimoko's plan and desperately moved her knight out to f12. Now the monkey was forced to capture Mimoko's pawn at i4 with his rook, however, Mimoko still needed to move a piece, yet she moved her pawn to k5 without hesitation, causing Iori to sweat a bit as she moved her pawn to g7.

"No way, she can't win this. The monkey will capture the pawn at j4, leaving the one at e4 stranded. Then she'll move her pawn to k6, and I'll have victory after promoting my pawn to a knight," Iori thought as Carol moved her knight to g10.

Sure enough, the monkey did indeed capture Mimoko's pawn at j4, and Mimoko moved her pawn to k6. However, Mimoko's smile only grew bigger as Iori moved her pawn to h7 and promoted it to a knight.

"Why are you smiling? I'm about to win next turn," Iori glared as Carol moved her knight to f8.

As the monkey captured Mimoko's pawn at e4 with his rook, Mimoko let out a chuckle and confidently leaned back against the rock as the monkey captured her pawn at "Are you really?"

"Huh? What's with that attitude? Once you move your pawn, I capture Carol's knight and the monkey captures my knight-"

"And WHERE will I move that pawn?"

Iori suddenly went pale as she realized Mimoko's pawn at k6 couldn't make any legal moves. "No, NO! THAT MEANS-"

"Yup, as per the rules, I'm stalemated, meaning I'm the 1st out, and thus win the game. Meaning it's YOUR turn."

Iori trembled and angrily turned to the monkey. "WHY'D YOU CAPTURE HER PAWN, YOU IDIOT!" she shouted as she captured Carol's knight at f8 with her knight. Carol nervously moved her pawn to j11, as the monkey, seemingly angered by Iori's outburst, responded with a series of chatters which likely meant, "I did what you were goading me to do! This was YOUR fault!" as he captured Iori's knight at f8 with his rook, taking Iori out of the game.

Now it was just Carol and the monkey, vying for last place and a humiliating shave. Carol quickly moved her rook to f14, forcing the monkey to capture it with his rook, leaving her with just a pawn. However, all she could do was move the pawn up to j10 as the monkey began his counteroffensive and moved his rook to i14. All Carol could do was move her pawn to j9 and subsequently capture the rook the monekey had moved to i8 with her j-pawn.

The monkey then moved his pawn to j7, forcing Carol to capture it and promote her pawn to something. She opted for promoting it to a knight, leading to the monkey moving his pawn to k5, forcing Carol to capture it with her knight. He then moved his pawn out to k4, forcing Carol to capture his pawn at m6 with her knight. But then, the monkey blundered and moved his rook to l4, allowing Carol to capture it and breath a sigh of relief.

Confused, the monkey attempted to move his pawn, until he was told that he was forced to capture Carol's knight at l4 with his knight, thus sealing his defeat.

"So uh, we actually gonna shave the monkey?" Carol nervously asked.

"Duh, of course we are! One bald monkey coming up!" Iori grinned as she lunged for the monkey.

As Iori and Carol tried to restrain the monkey, Mimoko took the chance to sneak out.

...

Mimoko glared as Iori and Carol entered the ice cream parlor. "Well I'm surprised you didn't streak all the way here from the hot spring, so what happened?"

"We shaved the monkey bald!" Iori snickered as she flashed an image of a bald monkey on her phone.

"And?"

"As soon as we did, we got out and just threw our clothes back on. Still, didn't need to sneak out on us."

"And if the monkeys had turned on us?"

"Old man chess guy would come, and shaved em all bald!" Carol confidently huffed.

"Whatever, I've been waiting ages for you. Waitress! Tab's on these fine ladies!" Mimoko hollared as she slammed her tab down and left.

Iori stared at the tab and went pale in horror at the amount of zeroes. "OI MIMO-CHAN-"

As she turned, she noticed Carol had bolted too, leaving her to pay the bill alone.

"NO FAIR! THERE GOES ALL MY AD REVENUE FOR THE MONTH!" Iori cried as the waitress happily took her credit card from her.
