Togami/Hagakure it is, tonight. Millions of Yen refers to their spending, in the wage Byakuya offers Makoto for his services as aide and in a special crystal ball purchased by Yasuhiro.
King Pawn Opening
Playing a game of chess was something everyone with even the merest hint of sophistication did, Byakuya Togami reminded himself. It should not surprise him that his opponent knows the rules. Technically, it should not even surprise him that his opponent is actually competent at the game.
Yet, Togami's mind could not comprehend the situation he was in right now. He was playing a game of chess against Yasuhiro Hagakure and he was merely a handful of moves away from being beaten.
Going through the phases of the game, Togami realised he made a couple of silly errors. Why? Why would a Togami make such silly moves?
"You seem off today, Togami-chi."
This voice. It was completely irrational, but the scion was thrown off his game whenever his opponent opened his mouth to let his dross come out. And those eyes...
No!
Byakuya Togami was not gushing over another man's looks. That was unbecoming in too many regards to count.
This denial went away quickly. Instead came reason.
Togami was, after all, very well educated. He knew acting on your feelings can leave you open to mistakes. That, however, doesn't make the emotion go away.
He tipped over his king.
Alright, the second third of the Survivor's Scramble is almost over, thank you again for your interest and your clicks.
The hint for tomorrow is Governor.
