Sakyo	ーーcheckmate.
Homare	Ohh, such a smart move. But I can still move here.
Sakyo	So, I still can't check you with this.
Homare	Just as I thought, playing chess with you is amusing. I was worth the challenge.
Sakyo	I'm glad to hear that.
Izumi	Huh? Sakyo-san and Homare-san, speaking of nice timing ! Are you playing chess?
Sakyo	What is it?
Homare	Kantoku-kun, do you want to play with us?
Izumi	Maybe when we got another opportunity..that's not what I want to say. A while ago, I received a request for the theater company. It's related to chess.
	We were asked to serve customers for the opening of a giant chess park.
Sakyo	You mean we are going to serve the customers while playing a role?
Izumi	Yes, chess piece is going to be motif for those roles.
Sakyo	How many people do we need?
Izumi	We need roles for king, bishop, and knight, a total of 3 people. They also want the person playing the King's role to declare the opening of the chess park during the opening ceremony.
Homare	Oh, that is going to be splendid !
	When it comes to chess, there is no better choice than us. Let's do it !
Sakyo	I don't mind participating. When is the date?
Izumi	They opening ceremony is scheduled on this day but...
Homare	I regret... I have a work scheduled on the same day.
Izumi	How about Sakyo-san?
Sakyo	I'm free.
Izumi	So, Sakyo-san is going to participate. I need to find two more.
Homare	If that's the case, I have two people in mind. Please wait here, I am going to call them.
	May I present to you, these two.
Izumi	Tsumugi-san and Guy-san?
Homare	I believe Tsumugi-kun can play the role of Bishop. The role is somewhat similar to his role as Izumi in the 'Residents of the Night.'
Tsumugi	Umm....?
Homare	Knight's role is perfect for Guy-san. He is originally, Citron-kun's royal servant , right?
Guy	.... Knight's role?
Sakyo	Fair enough.
Homare	Right? That is my sentiment as a chess genius.
	Suppose, you have questions about chess, never hesitate to ask me.
Tsumugi	Umm.. Please wait a minute. what are you talking about?
Izumi	Ehh? Homare-san, did you drag them here without explaining anything?
Guy	Arisugawa asked me to come with him, so I came here.
Sakyo	Geez... guess we have no choice..
Izumi	I'm so sorry. I'll explain it briefly--.
	What do you think?
Tsumugi	I see. We are going to play the role of a chess piece. It sounds interesting.
Guy	Yeah, I have no problem with the schedule.
Izumi	So our participants will be Sakyo-san, Tsumugi-san, and Guy-san. That means Sakyo-san is going to be the King.
Homare	Hrmm.. Indeed, King's role is perfect for Sakyo-san.
Tsumugi	That's right. He has a dignified air into him.
Guy	Furuichi do gives off the atmosphere of a king.
Sakyo	Well, all the other roles are already decided.
Izumi	Sakyo-san will be the King. Since the all the roles are decided, please pass this around.
Guy	... A profile sheet?
Izumi	The profile sheet is from the park's management. The setting for each role is already written down for you.
Tsumugi	Tasuku got the same thing during survival game.
Izumi	Oh, come to think of it, they had profile sheet that time so yeah, something like that.
Guy	So we need to read and use this as reference for our role making.
Homare	Ahh, such a shame... If an opportunity arises again, please leave the King's role to me.
	I will be a king so majestic that commoners will fall on their knees---.
Sakyo	I don't understand what kind of customer service is that.
Izumi	Ahaha.

Izumi	Oh, Sakyo-san. Were you reading the profile sheet?
Sakyo	Yeah, it seems my role is a tyrant king.
Izumi	So it's something like "The king's orders are absolute!"... Is it?
Sakyo	The hell is that stance. It's not king's game.
Izumi	Ahaha, After all it's no good.
Sakyo	....
	No, Unexpectedly... It's not that bad.
Izumi	?
Sakyo	Oi, Chigasaki.
Itaru	Sakyo-san, you're making a scary face. What’s up?
Sakyo	You didn't turn off the lights on the bathroom.
Itaru	Huh? Did I left it on?
Sakyo	Whether you left the lights on or not isn't the only issue here. You can't even turn off a single light.
	Next time you do that, I'll confiscate your games, understand?
Itaru	Scary... I'm sorry.. You're kinda scarier than usual.
Sakyo	Hmph.
Itaru	What did just happen?
Kazunari	Pudding~ pudding ~
	Oh, there's a cake and juice too.
	Sweet! Omimi sure put loads'a cream on his cakes.
	Oh wait, we have strawberries too! I'll defs go well with the pudding---.
Sakyo	Stop right now !
Kazunari	Woah !
Sakyo	You’re letting cold air escape whenever you open that damn door ! One person is only allowed to open the refrigerator 3 times a day !
Kazunari	Ehh? There wasn't such rule before?
Sakyo	You have to follow it from today. Go tell everyone.
Kazunari	Uwaah, Frooch-chan's a tyrant!
Sakyo	Fushimi, don't throw away onion and celery leaves. You can use it for soup.
Omi	Ahaha, understood.
Sakyo	Bo, you're using the dryer for way too long. Just let your hair dry naturally after 3 minutes.
Azami	Ha ?! There's no way I'll dry my hair naturally ! It'll get damaged.
Sakyo	Don't you dare talk back to me !
Kazunari	Isn't Frooch-san actin' all weird today?
Itaru	I think so too.
Omi	He's just as frugal. That's the how he usually acts, right?
Azami	No, he's more annoying than usual.
Izumi	Ah, I think it's part of his role making.
Itaru	Role making?
Izumi	Sakyo-san is going to play the role of chess king for an opening ceremony this weekend. His role is something like a tyrant king.
Omi	So he's going to stay like that for a week?
Kazunari	No way --- !
Azami	Uwah, seriously?
Itaru	I want an immediate version change.
Sakyo	Got any complaints?
Azami	Shitty Sakyo showed up.
Sakyo	Shut up ! What's wrong with eliminating all those useless consumption?
Itaru	Still not satisfied with all these role making?
Kazunari	Totes feels like we're under dictatorship !
Azami	Sigh... Just end the event quickly.

Izumi	Wow, everyone looks so cool !
Tsumugi	Thank you very much.
Guy	Even my sword looks real.
Tsumugi	Sakyo-san looks perfect too.
Sakyo	I'm not fit to be a king but these costumes are nice.
Izumi	That's not true. I think you look like a real king right now.
CHOICE 1: "How do you feel about becoming a king" [+] Izumi How do you feel about becoming a king? Sakyo I'm not used to wearing this costume yet... but it's not that bad. I never thought I'd be playing a role of a chess piece out of the blue. Izumi Fufu, I'm glad. Your crown looks great too ! Sakyo Hmph, is that so.
CHOICE 2: "You're stricter than usual" [+] Izumi You’re stricter than usual when it comes to saving money. Sakyo It's only natural. Even if it's not for the sake of role playing, everyone should be conscious about saving money yadda yadda yadda... Izumi ( There he goes again...)
Tsumugi	Everyone has been talking about your frugality week.
Sakyo	It's just right, isn't it? They've been lazy lately.
	Plus, I discovered new ways to save money.
Guy	Chigasaki and Izumida wants it to finish quickly.
Sakyo	I didn't hear anything. I want to continue for a while after the event is over.
Izumi	Well... Anyways, your role as a king is already perfect, Sakyo-san!
Guy	Right. Both Furuichi and Tsukioka gives off a nice atmosphere for their roles.
Izumi	Guy-san, you studied about how to become a yakuza one time, right?
Sakyo	It's all Sakoda and Nanao's fault. I had to stop them.
Guy	I learned a lot from them. Too bad I ended up to starting over again with my role making.
Tsumugi	It's alright ! You look a lot like a knight.
Staff	We will begin the opening ceremony shortly. Please come here.
Sakyo	Yosh ! Let's go.
Chairman	Now, our king will give us the opening remarks.
	King, Bishop, and Knight. Come forward, please.
Sakyo	"I am pleased to finally show this giant chess to everyone.
	I want all of you to enjoy it to your heart's content."
Chairman	King, thank yoーー。
Sakyo	"It is a country with a tight budget. As you know, I always encourage everyone to save money. "
Izumi	Eh?
Sakyo	"Despite all of that, I am grateful that everyone is working hard. That is why I built this giant chess field for the purpose of entertainmentーー."
Izumi	( Sakyo-san, you're way too into your role. You're saying more than what you're supposed to...! )
Sakyo	"I am not telling you to stop saving money but for today, I want you to enjoy playing chess. "
Tsumugi	“It is true that our king was thinking about everyone all along."
Guy	"Everyone, hail our king. Our country is safe. Thanks to our king's way of saving money. “
Sakyo	” ...... I am pleased you made it here. “
Izumi	(Tsumugi-san, Guy-san, nice follow ! Sakyo-san seems relieved too.)
Customer A	Does he mean saving money for the entire country?
Customer B	They made a giant chess facility so everyone can take a break.
Customer C	It's interesting how his words about financial difficulties is so realistic ! On the other hand, I have a positive impressions.
Izumi	It's surprisingly cool. I could consider this as a success..I wonder?
Sakyo	“Here, I declare the opening of giant chess field ! “
