One day after dinner, Riko happily pulled out a box of Othello.
“I have a request, Minato-kun.”
“Yes, sure.”
“What? I haven’t told you what it is yet…?”
“……! Yeah, that’s right. I made a mistake.”
“Haha, Minato-kun is so funny.”
I didn’t have any reason to refuse just because it was Riko’s request, but I might have gotten ahead of myself.
“So what is your request?”
“Yeah, if you don’t mind, would you like to play Othello with me for a… penalty game?”
“Penalty?”
“If I win, I’d like to have… the right to ask Minato-kun five questions.”
Questions…?
“Othello’s fine, … but what do you want to know about me?”
I’m not even that interesting.
Surprisingly, after simply having asked a question, Riko suddenly started to fidget.
“Oh, yeah, that’s… right! The more I know about Minato-kun, the easier it will be for me to do my everyday chores…”
“Is that how it is?”
“Yeah, something like that! I know Minato-kun’s favorite foods, Minato-kun’s favorite movies, Minato-kun’s favorite subjects, Minato-kun’s favorite games, Minato-kun’s favorite anime, Minato-kun’s favorite stores, Minato-kun’s favorite countries, Minato-kun’s favorite actors, but that’s not enough at all…”
“Err, Riko, … how do you know so much about me!?”
I couldn’t help but ask her that, and Riko smiled somewhat triumphantly, “Ehehe.”
… You mean you’ve done that much research on me just to make it easier for you to do your chores?
That’s fine, but how do you….
I wonder if it’s something you can easily figure out on a daily basis. I’ve been able to chat with Riko lately, and maybe my hobbies and interests have been apparent in our casual conversations.
“If that’s all you know about me, then I’ve got nothing more to offer than what you already know…”
I chuckled, and Riko’s cheeks turned slightly red.
“This is the first time I’ve seen such an expression on Minato-kun’s face… whoa!? I can’t believe I just said that… I was just so excited and full of emotions… You’re right, I shouldn’t be saying these things… yes, yes.”
“……?”
Riko put her hands on her cheeks and looked satisfied with herself. Meanwhile, I was looking over at her, thinking she was cute despite not really understanding her. After a short moment, she cleared her throat before turning back to me.
“So will you play Othello with me for new information? If Minato-kun wins, I’ll do whatever you say!”
“……”
She’ll do whatever I say…!!
My worthless information is not at all worth compared to the reward Riko is granting me, but this offer is too tempting to turn down…
It’s a pity to make Riko lose the game, but this is something I have to really try my best to do…!
So, we started playing Othello. We sat side by side on the sofa as usual and placed the Othello board between us. While Riko played with the white chips, I used the black ones. Due to winning the game of rock-paper-scissors, Riko goes first.
“Yes! Well then, let’s go… here!”
I love Riko so much, she is so excited like a child.
“I haven’t played Othello in years…”
“Oh, I haven’t done that for a long time too. I really missed it.”
“Really? I’m glad I bought it.”
I nodded my head.
…? Huh?
While I was distracted by my conversation with Riko, the board was already covered with white stones.
Don’t tell me, Riko, that you don’t know that it’s a disadvantage to have your own stones all over the place in the beginning of the game…?
“Riko, there’s… white stones all over the board…”
“Yes, I know!”
It’s so cute to see Riko nodding her head in delight with all her might, but she definitely doesn’t get it…!
I’m sorry, but…
Attacking on the outside like that is not effective!
It’s better to put them as far inside as possible…
“Riko, that place is…”
“Hmm! I tried to be a little aggressive!”
Oh, no.
It’s cute that you’re proud of it, but Riko, that’s a clumsy way to attack…
And the deciding factor is.
“All right, I guess the next step is… here!”
“……!!!!”
With a snap, the sakura-colored fingernails placed a white stone next to the corner.
It’s true that I was moving to avoid getting cornered, but I have no idea what kind of strategy she follows…
Riko played in such an honest way, and my head was starting to spin.
… It’s like a situation where an ugly person is tricking a pure fairy.
“I’m sorry, Riko…”
“Eh? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Anyway, if this continued, Riko would end up losing. Of course I wanted to win the bet with Riko, but there is no way I can beat her so mercilessly. And Riko didn’t seem to be aware of her own weaknesses at all…
… All right.
If this goes on, I’ll cut corners so that Riko doesn’t find out and let her win.
It doesn’t matter whether I’m tricking her or not.
Imagining Riko in happiness that she won, that’s all I need to make me happy too.
Shaking off my original goal, I desperately tried to lose.
But…
But no matter how hard I tried, Riko was too weak at Othello.
