Title: Chapter 294 Fear of Shogi

Page 114:
Osaka: It couldn't be...
Is this creature
the one that guided Alice to wonderland in the story of 'Alice in Wonderland'?
The funny "frog"? [quote white]
Are you really that "frog"?
Hapi: .........
I...
I don't know where to even start with that one.

Page 115:
Hapi: First, the thing that led Alice to wonderland was a rabbit,
and next, I'm not a frog...
By the way, Zanguard's design is originally based on a horseshoe crab.
I mean, you can basically call it a horseshoe crab.
Osaka: Horseshoe crab?
Hapi: Ah...
Er...
Okay, let's just reset the conversation. Pretend this is my first time talking to you!!!
Whoever you are, you're ultra-strong!!!!
Osaka: But
I have to say

Page 116:
Osaka: It's "frog-like".
Hapi: You're kidding!
-ibbit
Osaka: See, you just went "ribbit".
Hapi: No, that was just...
Kiri: It's design is based on a horseshoe crab.
Box: Brimming with confidence
Hapi: That would probably hurt Kirino-san's feelings.
Okay, forget the frog thing.
Anyhow, so,
then...
Osaka: What?
Hapi: How about we
blow up this building together?
Osaka: Huh...?
What?

Page 117:
Osaka: Blow...
the what up?
Huh...?
Hapi: Blow up the building.
Osaka: How would a frog do that?
Hapi: I'm not a frog!
Osaka: I don't think I believe you,
but if that's true,
SFX: TON
Osaka: I would take issue with you doing that. What would happen to my "love"? If my love ends up unfulfilled, even if all 7 billion people on this earth apologized to me, it wouldn't be enough for me.
Hapi: HEY! WAAAAA
SFX: TON TON TON

Page 118:
Osaka: But for now, I'm going to need you to take me to your boss.
Hapi: AAAAA
AAAA [Upside down]
Osaka: That's not a one-frog kind of plan.
Hapi: OROOROORO
Osaka: Let's go.
Hapi: OROOROOROOROOROOROOROOROOROOROORO
Osaka: Which way?
Hapi: I just got captured by the ultimate "player killer" didn't I?

SFX: KARA...
Minta: Shogi...

Page 120-121:
Minta: It's a game that works exceedingly well as a simulation of a battle, but...
It's far removed from the fear of tan actual battle
where if you cut through someone's flesh with a blade, an unbelievable amount of blood sprays out.
Still...
are you suggesting that 'the fear of playing shogi' is greater than 'the fear of being killed'? [quote white]
Suzuki: Precisely.
SFX: BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN BACHIDAN
Suzuki: That's exactly what I'm saying.

Page 122:
Suzuki: Pro shogi players have lived life as many times as they've played shogi.
If you've played a thousand games, you've lived a thousand lives.
Minta: Good god...
What are you talking about?

Page 123:
Suzuki: Two combatants with hours of available time reading moves with the momentum of running 100 meters per second to play one game...
Pro players spread their nerves onto every corner of those 81 squares...
until they completely fuse with it.
Minta: .........
Suzuki: Understand?

Page 124-125:
Suzuki: We become shogi itself.
So the moment we lose,
we feel an unbelievable "pain", the kind you might feel if you died and went to hell.
Every lost game is a death.

Page 126-127:
Suzuki: Pros are killed more times than they can count.
But we don't hate our opponents or curse the world, we don't blame anyone.
Being a pro shogi player means you have only your own weakness to blame.
