NARRATOR: "\n\nThe sign language teacher says I'm pretty good."
 
NARRATOR: "I try not to think about it too much, but the truth is I'm poring over it so much lately that it's hard not to keep coming back to it at least a couple times a day. I guess I am picking it up faster than expected, but it's still not enough."
 
NARRATOR: "I understand it just fine; understanding it is simple. Well, I have to put my mind to it to read it, but it's easy enough when I do."
 
NARRATOR: "The signing itself is doable, I just need a little more practice. However, trying to do both at the same time, even at half the speed Misha does it? It's impossible."
 
NARRATOR: "Where I'm at now is good for my level, but in order to reach a point where I'll be able to really converse with Shizune, I'll need more work."
 
NARRATOR: "\nI'm doing my best to get to that point one step at a time by doing as much studying as I can squeeze in during lunch."

NARRATOR: "Of course, since this is taking up my lunch hour, I've had to avoid them for a few days now. What's more, I'll have to continue doing so if I want to keep Shizune from finding out."

NARRATOR: "\n\nEvery chance she gets, Misha asks me why I want to hide the fact I'm learning sign language from Shizune."
 
NARRATOR: "Looking back on it, there really wasn't any reason, but now I think I know."
 
NARRATOR: "If I want Shizune to be able to treat me as a true equal, sign language is an important step towards that goal."
 
NARRATOR: "If I want to be able to treat Shizune as an equal, then sign language is an important step towards that goal."
 
NARRATOR: "Another important step is to make sure she doesn't know, so that when we're able to finally speak on equal terms, I'll be fully ready, able to do it right, not like some dilettante."
 
NARRATOR: "Anything less, I think, would be insulting. She would see it the same way."
 
NARRATOR: "\nSo to me, this is the only option. Especially now that I've decided to be so resolute with it."

NARRATOR: "Shizune has a huge aura. It's very easy to see her coming, or even to sense her coming. Mostly because Misha's hair lights up any crowd she's in like a beacon, and you can hear her laughing from a mile away."
 
NARRATOR: "Although, even if Misha weren't with her, it would be the same. Her directness and efficiency are core parts of her, so it's no surprise that they come across in the way she walks as well."
 
NARRATOR: "Due to all these factors, I'm able to put away all my things and put on my best casual face long before they see me and head my way."

MISHA: "Hicchan, do you hate games where luck is involved?"
 
NARRATOR: "A question out of nowhere, but it feels like an important one."
 
NARRATOR: "If it wasn't, why would Shizune be looking at me, watching for my reaction? Even as I glance in her direction, she tries to pretend she isn't doing so, putting on a casual air by spinning a chess piece in her fingers."

MISHA: "“I don't like games that revolve around luck of the draw,” right? That was you, Hicchan~."
 
HISAO: "Yeah. Revolving around luck isn't the same as just having luck involved, though. I don't hate games just for having an element of luck. Most games have an element of luck to them anyway. It's what keeps them interesting."
 
HISAO: "I think a game where you know from the beginning how far you can go is boring. Then it's not a game, isn't it? Just going through motions."
 
HISAO: "For a game where you have little to no control, I don't think I could get into something like that."

MISHA: "Chess is a formulaic game. So~! It's a game that isn't suited for her... There was nothing formulaic about her. Someone who plays chess like that, looking only at the next piece, playing so shallowly, can't be called a serious chess player."

MISHA: "Anyone who loves chess to the point where their eyes sparkle like that when they see a chessboard would be the kind of person who would study the game."
 
MISHA: "If you study it just casually, you can learn to see at least two moves ahead, even against pros."

NARRATOR: "Shizune puts down the piece in her hand. It's a rook."

MISHA: "There is no luck in chess~! It's very important to realize that. Luck in games is good because it gives everyone a chance. Just enough to matter, but not so much that skill is penalized. Chess is boring because it's not a game; to me, it seems like formulas."

MISHA: "The trickiest moments were when she moved the fastest. That means she knew exactly how to deal with those situations."
