Page 98: [If you haven't noticed yet, the layout for all of these is the same. So feel free to copy them and just change the text.]
Top: Naruzou-kun
Mating Shogi
LV3 (7-move Mate)
Naruzou: The hint is focus on where to sacrifice which pieces-naru!
The answer is on page 217-naru!
Bottom: Mating Shogi Rules
●The attacking side must continuously put the opponent's ou in check-naru!
●The defending side must choose the optimal means of escape-naru!
Page 99:
Guy: Can you sole this?
Himu: Huh?
Page 100:
SFX: TAN TAN
Guy: Hello
SFX: TAN
Guy: Do you know what this is?
Soyo: ............
Mating shogi, right?
Guy: Yes.
Page 101:
Soyo: It's one of the great mating shogi masterpieces...
'Smoke Mate'.
Guy: ................
I should expect nothing less from someone from the birthplace of shogi!
Himu: The second opponent
is a Korean shogi player.
SFX: JYARA
Korea: At first
I thought Japan's shogi...
Page 102:
Guy: would be okay to play with hangul characters on the pieces.
It's really something. Japan's shogi is so interesting.
SFX: PACHI PACHI PACHI
Korea: By the way, I know you've heard of it,
but can you solve it?
SFX: PACHI PACHI PACHI PACHI
Korea: The 'Smoke Mate'.
Guy: Hey, what the hell is this?
Mating shogi?
Why would they do that?
Hurry up!
Play alreadyyyyy!
Play some shogiiii!
Page 103:
Guys: Plaaay!
Korea: Shut up.
SFX: BOOOOOO
Korea: I heard shogi idiots from all over Japan are gathered here.
So I wonder
SFX: BOOOOOO
Korea: how many people here can solve 'Smoke Mate'? I doubt there's even one.
Mamu: Can you guys solve 'Smoke Mate'?
Niko: Instantly.
Ukaku: I can't.
Suga: At a glance..
I don't think so.
Soyo: You use every last one of the 39 pieces on the board...
8-1 To
SFX: PACHI
Page 104-105:
[I'm not gonna bother with the thing on the top because it's kinda pointless]
Soyo: The arranged pieces disappear one after another like they're going up in smoke.
And it ends with the smallest form of mating at the end of the board with just 3 pieces...
SFX: PACHI...
Soyo: And that's mate.
117 moves in total.
It's the creation of a great meijin from the Edo period named Itou Kanju.
A shogi...
miracle.
Mamu: She solved it...
Korea: Yeah.
You got it.
Himu: Hey, c'mon. Let's get the show on the road.
Korea: This girl's good.
Her shogi game is great.
Hey!
Page 106:
Korea: Shogi players of Japan!
You should know a little more
about how amazing your 'shogi' is!
Guys: He's saying something.
Korea: Maybe me, a Korean, knows more about what makes shogi so interesting.
SFX: PACHI PACHI PACHI PACHI PACHI
Korea: The mating shogi puzzles made by Itou Soukan/Kanju, a person who would switch between being a god and a devil, are works of art up there with Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' or Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'.
SFX: PACHI PACHI PACHI
Korea: I'm sente.
If
SFX: BARA
Page 107:
Korea: Korea and China started seriously playing shogi
they would surpass Japan.
Soyo: ........
I'm really not interested at all,
but in that case
first
you have to beat me, right?
SFX: BACHIDAN
Korea: Hmph.
I, as a citizen of your neighboring country,
Page 108:
Korea: will teach you shogi!!!
SFX: BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN [Some of these are cut off]
SFX: DAN BACHIDAN
SFX: BACHIDAN CHIDAN BACHIDAN
Korea: I am
a sniper!!!!
Page 109:
Korea: Even if mate is dozens of moves ahead, if I see it,
I will checkmate you!!!
SFX: BACHIDAN BACHIDAN CHIDAN
Kore: Once I've locked on
I never miss!!!
Soyo: Before
you shoot
I will dodge.
Your bullet
will not hit me.
Korea: Let's see about that!!!

Soyo: My gyoku is...
in *"Z". [Giant Z]
Asterisk: *In shogi jargon, "Z" means "definitely not going to be checkmated" (short for zettai).
Soyo: And I will
give you this gin.
SFX: BACHII
Page 111:
Guy: WHUH??!
What was that move?!
That gin??!
Soyo: That's "brinkmate".
Korea: HUH?!
Just like that?!!
Asterisk: *A move where the opponent is certain to be mated the next move.
Page 112:
SOmeone: "Z" and
"Brinkmate".
Th...
That's a formula for a guaranteed resignation...
I have nothing...
It's over.
Page 113:
SFX: WAAaAaAaaAaAAaaAAAaAaA [Just go crazy]
Soyo: "Tactics"...
The fundamentals of shogi are "tactics" and standard moves...
I think
if you learn them
you'll get much, much
better.
Guy: No way.
What is this?
Page 114:
Korea: This girl is
amazing! [Heart]
Himu: Is that really something a guy who just lost should be saying?
I guess this maid
has no limit.
Guys: Win #2.
Ukaku: She's still
going.
Himu: Find where her limit is,
France's strongest.
Guy: Understood.
SFX: DOH
Page 115:
France: Your maid outfit is wonderful.
SFX: ...TAN
France: I wonder what it is that is the most wonderful thing about Japan?
Soyo: .............
France: I would say they are...
'shogi' and
'animeeeee'!
SFX: BACHII
SFX: BACHIIN
Page 116:
France: I have lost.
Guys: He suuuuuuucked!
Himu: ......................
...Well, he wasn't actually bad or anything.
.........
SFX: DOSAH
Papers: Yaoi
Sign: Otome (Maiden) Road
Himu: I'm counting on you.
American: Got it.
