Match 12: the pawn’s step\\
1
Side: the despaired girl and the doll meet under the moonlight… what kind od story will they unfold?\\
Kuro: please sit there\\ Fräulein!\\
Kuro: let’s have a match\\
Kuro: a match for my own sake, please\\ guah!!\\
Kuro: I bit my tongue…\\
Kuro: I’m accustomed to this…\\
Reb: to think that such a playboy would hear my grief…\\
Kuro: playboy!?\\
Reb: don’t hide yourself and come out!\\
Reb: turk’s driver!!\\
2
kuro: you are wrong!\\ I just entered in the turk to train!...\\
kuro: I heard you talking by chance and I thought to make you relax with chess…\\
3
reb: I would not mind to play with kempelen, but not with you!\\ furthermore I don’t even know the rules!\\
kuro: I’m fine when anton-san does it, but why do everyone treat me like this…?\\
kuro: but do you really plan to not show him the clock? You put a lot of effort into making it after all…\\
reb: I told you that it was a complete defeat!\\
kuro: but you haven’t even shown it to him…\\
reb: the gist is that I have accepted to give up on everything!\\
kuro: but you just said that you wanted to go on the tour…\\
reb: I want to go, but I would hate if they think of me as an unreasonable child!\\
kuro: but…\\
reb: you are so stubborn!!\\
reb: look at my clock!!\\
reb: it is plain! Awkward!\\ it cannot compete with Frederic-nii-sama’s work!\\
4
kuro: this clock is…!!!\\
kuro: … you cannot give up…!\\ you should show him this clock!\\
kuro: try to do your best!!\\
kuro: because this is…\\
5
reb: are you aware that you are saying some irresponsible things!?\\
reb: I have decided to give up after I thought about it!\\
reb: I have done my best for all this time!!\\
reb: because I wanted kempelen to acknowledge me…\\
reb: if I become a first class artisan…\\
reb: I could help him a little…!!\\
6
reb: but when Frederic-nii-sama showed his clock the difference in skills was clear.\\
reb: I don’t have any other choice than give it up!!\\ because my experience is not comparable to that of an adult…\\
reb: do you know how deep is the wound… when you lose after challenging someone with all of your strength…?\\
reb: and yet you just say “do your best”? aren’t those words too cruel!!?\\
kuro: in that case… I will fight too.\\
7
reb: eh…?\\
kuro: I will prove you that there is a path to go forward.\\
kuro: therefore, promise me that…\\
kuro: if I will win, you will not give up and show him your clock!!\\
reb: eh…\\
8
kuro: come here tomorrow morning… good night!\\
reb: hey…\\
an: now she hates him…!\\
reb: geez!\\
reb: I overslept!\\
reb: I couldn’t sleep after what he said to me…\\
reb: what did he mean…?\\
9
bear: hey, good morning, Rebecca.\\
bear: you didn’t expect this, right? Well, the boy said this morning that…\\
text in the frame: good do it…!\\
bear: he will show us a chess match with the turk.\\
10
above those guys: do your best, turk\\ crush my old brother’s ass!!\\
reb: this looks more like a drinking party…\\
wolf: right now I’m wrapping up the documents to make the decision, and everyone is waiting for my announcement.\\ it is a good way to kill time. Because his opponent is…\\
wolf: the strongest disciple in the manufacturing artisan association,\\ Frederic!!\\
reb: Frederic can play chess!?\\
bear: I can play too.\\
wolf: everyone in the artisan association was really into it in the past.\\ even the master and I cannot win against Frederic.\\
11
reb: so he meant this when he was talking about winning!?\\
reb: he has selfishly involved everyone into this…!\\
wolf: the turk is an disadvantageous situation just as I predicted… his late deployment is having an effect.\\
reb: …?\\ he should be strong if he is inside of the turk, right?\\
wolf: the shitty dog is now tied down by a really heavy handicap.\\
wolf: I cannot explain it to you if I don’t show you the different roles of the pieces.\\ I will make a diagram.\\
12
wold: chess is a game to drive into a corner the opponent’s king,\\ and there are 6 types of pieces that you can use.\\
text in black field: up: the type and the movements of the pieces\\down: how to distinguish them\\ even more down: height\\
first column:{
king (K)\\
right: the hearth and the centre of the game, if he is driven into a corner, it is game over\\
left: I cannot move a lot so the queen really frightens me… ah, but I can fight if I want, ok?\\
move: it can move of one square in every direction\\
shape: the cross ornament indicates that it is the most precious piece\\
}
in the arrow on the right: tall\\
right of the arrow: the height of a piece is proportional to the importance of the piece itself\\
second column{
queen (Q)
right: the lone woman of the group who boasts the highest battle power on the board\\
left: as the first lady I can move in every direction from my starting square <3\\
move: it can move freely in all the 8 directions\\
shape: the eight decorations indicate that it can move in all the 8 directions\\
}
13
third column{
Bishop (B)
Right: it trusts into the enemy’s openings, it is an eccentric monk who cuts through the enemy’s lines\\
Left: it is not like I go and cut things… it is just that you are finished if you are on a square with the same colour of my initial one…\\
Move: it can move freely on the 4 diagonals\\
Shape: the diagonal cut indicates that it can move diagonally\\
}
fourth column{
knight(N)
right: a Pegasus that soars the skies and attacks with an irregular patterns\\
left: I’m a knight because I have an horse!\\
move: it can advance back and forth in the air in 8 particular places\\
shape: the way its neck is bent indicates that it can make L shaped movements
}
fifth column{
rook(R)
right: even if it is a slow starter it is the fortress that represent the second strongest piece on the board\\
left: I’m a fortress that keeps watch, so I enter in the game only at the right time\\
move: it can move freely on the horizontal and vertical direction \\
shape: the four cuts indicate the four direction in which it can move\\
}
arrow left: low\\
box: I will translate from German to English for you!!\\
14
bear: by the way, you always draw some characteristic pictures that completely match my style.\\
wolf: not at the level of the cat on your apron, master…\\
wolf: and the pivot of his handicap in this match is…\\
wolf: the sixth and weakest piece…\\
wolf: the pawn.\\
wolf: they are foot soldiers who can advance of a single square at the time, but…\\ they have the special ability to move of two squares the first time.\\
wolf: however the shitty dog decided that for this time\\ they would move of a square in the first move as well.\\
wolf: look at the board.\\
15
wolf: there are few white pieces in the centre, right?\\
wolf: generally controlling the centre is the key of the opening phase of a match.\\
wolf: if you can move of just one square at the beginning you will be slow with your advance in the centre.\\and there are a lot of pawn pieces, so the effect handicap is rather strong.\\
wolf: furthermore, the white pieces that the turk controls should be battling first… as the advantage of the white is to attack first.\\
wolf: the fact that the turk cannot do such a thing is an heavy handicap!!\\
?: the white’s bishop has disappeared, the centre of the defence is already…\\ Frederic has the advantage in the centre… he will strike soon!\\
??: hey give me a break, I bet 3 copper coins on the turk…\\
16
wolf: he is the first person I ever saw using this kind of handicap…\\ I was really interested in how the match would unfold, but it must be more difficult than I expected.\\
bear: to think that the difference in just the first moves would bring to such a disadvantage…\\
bear: it is like a child who is trying to keep up with the pace of an adult.\\
?: from g4 to n4!\\ the turk’s knight has been captured…!\\
17
?: well, Frederic is the first candidate to become his traveller companion after all.\\ maybe the boy is just having fun and wants Frederic to have a little of credit.\\
reb: they are wrong…\\
reb: he is serious.\\
kuro: you should not give it up,\\
kuro: promise me that you will show him the clock!!\\
reb: he really wants to win this match…!\\
reb: for my sake…?\\
reb: but why…?\\
reb: I don’t understand…!!\\

inserted text: a disadvantageous fight… for what reason is he fighting with such a disadvantage!?\\
