I arrived early at the library and quickly went to the second floor to prepare the board and get a table in a calm spot.
I could barely contain my excitement. Finally, after all this time I would be able to face the masterpiece in a game of chess. And during his own birthday at that. Naturally, I had bought a gift for Ayanokouji-kun. I had it inside a bag which I placed next to the table as I began preparing the chess pieces across the board.
It honestly surprised me when he accepted my invitation, of course. Not only because of his birthday since I would have thought that those friends of his would be dragging him around all day, but also because we were facing each other in this special exam. So, I would have thought he would rather avoid me.
The arrival of this special exam had been a true blessing. It allowed me to finally have my match with Ayanokouji-kun after the prelude of the cruise exam. It would be ludicrous to count the sports festival. It wasn't an exam and spending energy in ridiculous planning would have been for naught. So, I limited myself to plan the surface strategy of Class A and gave free rein to Nishikawa-san, Katsuragi-kun and Nao-san. The risk of the sports festival results affecting my classmates' perception of me was negligible. However, on this exam that wasn't the case anymore. Despite the fact that we didn't get the expected results because of the intervention of Ayanokouji-kun, the cruise exam remained the only one where we got a positive result. Therefore, even if it was just for the moral of our classmates, a victory on this special exam was important.
"Good morning, Sakayanagi," Ayanokouji-kun's voice took me out of my thoughts.
Like me, he was wearing the school uniform which was obligatory to enter the library the same way it was to enter the school building.
"Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun," I greeted. "Thank you for coming. Please, do sit down," I invited him to sit on the chair in front of me.
"Well, I had no reason to refuse," he replied referring to the invitation as he took his place in front of me.
"Hoh? Haven't your friends invited you out?"
"No, why?"
I smiled at him and gave him the gift I had bought after picking it up.
"Happy birthday, Ayanokouji-kun," I stated.
"Hmm. How did you know today's my birthday?" he inquired accepting the gift.
"Why, it isn't exactly a secret is it?"
I suspected Ayanokouji-kun was aware of the existence of Nao-san's reports, although I wouldn't question him about it. Furthermore, you could see people's birthdays on their profile's if you had their contact information.
"I suppose you're right," he commented. "Thank you for the gift. May I?" he made a gesture to open the gift.
"Oh please. I'd like to see your face when you see what it is," I giggled slightly.
Ayanokouji-kun nodded and opened the bag. The next second, he took out a long grey coat, perfect for winter.
"Isn't it a bit too early?" he queried raising an eyebrow.
"Why, I couldn't wait until Christmas, Ayanokouji-kun," I said tauntingly.
The moment I saw that coat on the shop, I knew I had to offer it to Ayanokouji-kun.
"In any case, it's a good coat," he mumbled as he examined it.
"So, do you like it?"
"I do. Thank you," he thanked me while giving a slight nod. "But what does my birthday have to do with my friends inviting me to hang out?"
I addressed him a puzzled look as I heard those words. Then, not being able to hold it, I let out an amused laugh.
"Fufufufu. My, Ayanokouji-kun. You can be really helpless at times, heh~?" I commented. "Well, it would be natural for your friends to want to celebrate your birthday."
"Is it? I mean, it's not like a birthday is important..."
"Don't you think birthdays are important, Ayanokouji-kun?" I inquired.
He shrugged.
"I know people like to celebrate them to feel special. But for me, birthdays have always been just another day. It's not different from all the other days of the year," he replied. "At most, it just means we're older. But then again, that logic also applies to any other day."
"Why, allow me to disagree, Ayanokouji-kun," I stated. "It's true that not everyone sees them in the same way. But they are quite essential."
"Care to elaborate?" he inquired.
"Why don't we continue our conversation while we play, Ayanokouji-kun?" I offered. "White pieces or blacks?"
"Blacks," he said. "How much time?"
"Well, thirty minutes should be good enough, don't you agree?" I proposed. "We can begin on that and pass to ten-minute matches later."
He gave a slight nod and adjusted our respective timers. When he was done, my timer began, and I quickly made the first move placing my white pawn on e4 and stopping my timer.
I had no problem with starting the game since it allowed me to have slight advantage regarding the planning of my strategy. Of course, Ayanokouji-kun would use this to analyse my game more carefully, he didn't allow me to begin because of kindness.
Immediately, Ayanokouji-kun placed one of his pawns on e5.
"So? Will you tell me why birthdays are so important?"
I placed my horse on f3 and stopped my timer once again.
"Fufu, why the hurry, Ayanokouji-kun? We have just begun."
He replied by placing his horse on c6. I smiled as he stopped his clock.
"Well, you see Ayanokouji-kun. The importance of birthdays comes with what they symbolise," I said as I placed my other horse on c3 and stopped my timer.
"So, they're important because of symbolism?" he raised an eyebrow sceptically and placed his horse on f6.
"Evidently," I affirmed. "Birthdays show us how far we've come. How much we've grown and evolved."
I placed my bishop on B5.
"I still don't see it," he stated placing his bishop on c5.
TICK-TOCK

TICK-TOCK
My timer began running again.
"You for example, Ayanokouji-kun," I said as I began castling my king and the tower at my right. "If someone had told you a year ago, that you would be here today. Playing chess with a friend as people send you happy birthday messages on your phone, would you have believed them?"
"Probably no. No," he replied slowly. "And what makes you think I have received birthday messages?"
He castled his own king with the tower at his left.
"Have you not?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I have. I just want to know what makes you say it."
"Fufu, you're quite popular in the school, Ayanokouji-kun. It may escape you – although I doubt that's the case – because people that you don't already know rarely approach you. But people talk a lot about the mysterious mastermind of Class 1D. And not only the students."
I took his pawn with my white horse by placing the horse that was on f3 on e5 and stopped my timer.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
His timer continued to run.
"I see... and the grow and evolve part?"
"My, that's quite evident, Ayanokouji-kun," I declared feigning a shocked expression.
"I don't think it is. I cannot thing of a single change the me of today has compared to the me of a year ago."
He moved the tower he had castled one square to my left placing it on e8.
"Well, that would be impossible, Ayanokouji-kun," I affirmed. "People rarely stay the same. And that's even more true when it comes to the span of a year. Life changes as time goes by; you're not the same person you were a year ago, nor the same person you were five years ago. Some changes might be important while others might be slim; so slim that you won't even notice them. But you can be sure those around you will."
I took one of his horses as I moved the same horse I had on e5 to c6.
"Hmm. I admit that's an interesting take, but," he took my horse by placing one of his pawns on c6. "How can I not be aware of those changes?"
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
My timer continued to run.
I took a second to think before retreating my bishop to c4 not wanting to let Ayanokouji-kun take it.
He immediately advanced another one of his pawns to b5 forcing me to retreat my bishop once again. I placed it on e2. Without delay, he took the pawn I had moved at the beginning with the horse he had left as he positioned it on e4. I responded quickly by taking that same horse with the only horse I had left. And once again without even taking a second to think his move, he took my horse as he moved his tower from e8 to e4.
He pushed the button to stop his timer and mine began to tick once again.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
I let out a sigh. That had been a mistake. I moved too promptly.
While I took another second to think of my move, I replied to Ayanokouji-kun's question.
"From where I sit, it's quite obvious, Ayanokouji-kun."
"Is it?"
I gave a slight nod.
"Your newfound will to help Class D is a good example of that," I pointed out. "You took a liking to them."
"I don't think that's true," he replied as he thought about my words. "I'm just doing the minimum, so my classmates don't think I'm dragging them down."
"Oh, in this precise moment your reasons are irrelevant, Ayanokouji-kun," I stated firmly. "What matters right now, it's the fact that in the past year you accepted to leave that place to come here, surely defying your father's orders. The fact that you came here with the intention to live peacefully and without being noticed but that you are helping your class move forward and your classmates grow. That fact speaks for itself."
"I think you're exaggerating," he assured me trying to dismiss my comment.
Ayanokouji-kun's timer was launched once again, as I positioned my bishop on f3, directly threatening his tower.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"Am I?" I queried provocatively. "I still haven't mentioned Matsushita-san, or Horikita-san... The way I see it they have changed quite a lot in the past few months. And that's only two of your classmates."
He retreated his tower to e6, and I moved a pawn forward to c3 as one of my characteristic smiles appeared on my face.
"And we mustn't forget about love," I affirmed.
He advanced his queen to d3 positioning it right next to the pawn I had just moved.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"What does love have to do with this?"
"Well, birthdays are a great opportunity for those around us to show how much they love us," I said taking my black beret from my head and holding it tightly for a second as I looked at it, a warm smile on my face. "They show us how special we are to them."
He looked at me as I did this but didn't ask any question.
I put my black beret on the table next to the board and moved another one of my pawns to b4. He retreated his bishop to b6.
"Do you understand it better now, Ayanokouji-kun?" I asked him. "Why birthdays are so important?"
I positioned another bishop in a4 and stopped my timer.
Ayanokouji-kun took it with his pawn. Which was now on a4. I responded by taking that pawn with my queen. And Ayanokouji-kun advanced his bishop of one square putting it on d7.
"I suppose I do," he said as I advanced my tower to a2. "I should celebrate my birthday then? Is that what we're doing?"
I giggled softly.
"Why, Ayanokouji-kun, don't you like the way I celebrate your birthday?" I said in an interrogative manner. "Wouldn't it be wonderful? If I defeated you on your first birthday outside of that place? Your deepest wish fulfilled."
He moved his tower from a8 to e8.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"You'd have to defeat me first."
I advanced my queen to a6 and Ayanokouji-kun replied almost instantly by moving his to f3 and taking my bishop.
I raised an eyebrow at this move.
"Quite an interesting move, Ayanokouji-kun," I declared.
I took his queen as I moved my pawn from g2 to f3. That was what he wanted me to do, but I was curious to see if he was going to take the game in that direction.
"Check. Thanks," he said as he placed his tower in g6 and put my king in check. "But, you know, Sakayanagi..." he began saying as I moved my king one square to the right to h1. "What I still don't understand, is why I should celebrate it," he advanced his bishop forward to h3. "How is it different from other years, from other birthdays?"
I moved my tower to my right placing it on d1. And Ayanokouji-kun going for the simplest move advanced his bishop to g2 and putting my king in check once again.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"You see, Ayanokouji-kun, when a year passes, you won't recover it..." I spoke warmly as I studied the board, judging by how Ayanokouji-kun's responses were quick and swift, he had been guiding me towards this scenario from the very beginning. A haughty smile formed on my face. How exciting! This first match was being a great experiment to study his abilities. And I wouldn't have expected less of Ayanokouji-kun.
"...That's especially true in your case, Ayanokouji-kun," I continued speaking as I did the only thing I could do: move my king one square to the left. "How many times had you had the opportunity to celebrate your birthday? You came here to experience normality, right? Well, birthdays are an important part that contributes to the normality of life. You can never celebrate the same birthday twice. Each year you add a number, and each year your surroundings change. That's what makes each one of them so special."
He moved back his bishop to f3, and I took advantage to move my king to f1 as to put it in a safer place. However, Ayanokouji-kun didn't let my and he replaced his bishop in g2 forcing me to return my king to g1. He retreated the bishop once again to h3 putting my king in check because of the tower in g6. Naturally, I relocated my king to h1 and Ayanokouji-kun took advantage of the moment to take the pawn I had on f2 with his second bishop. Finally, I was able to retreat my queen to f1. But I still couldn't find a way out of this situation.
Ayanokouji-kun took my queen with his bishop imprisoning my king. I managed to take a small respite as I took his bishop by repositioning my tower from d1 to f1 but Ayanokouji-kun immediately responded by advancing his tower across the board until it reached e2.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
Not being able to move neither my king nor the tower that was protecting it, I retreated my second tower from a2 to a1. In a curious response, Ayanokouji-kun placed his tower in g6 one square to my right to h6 and I quickly advanced the only pawn I hadn't touched in all the match to d4 trying to make space for the bishop to move.
"Checkmate," Ayanokouji-kun announced as he relocated his bishop to e3.
I showed a regretful smile on my face.
"It's my loss, Ayanokouji-kun," I admitted my defeat as my eyes shift from the board to Ayanokouji-kun.
With a tower on e2, a bishop on e3 and a second tower on h6; my king was completely imprisoned despite the pawn and the tower protecting my king.
"The first one's for me, then. Another game?" I gave a slight nod, and he began to put each piece in its place. "I understand what you mean," he commented. "It's just... aren't you being too romantic?"
I covered my mouth with my hand as a cheerful laugh escaped my lips.
"What can I say, Ayanokouji-kun? I'm a young maiden after all," I said playfully. "Who knows? Maybe if Nao-san wasn't so in love with you, I might've made you my knight in shining armour~"
"Don't be ridiculous. You're just conflicted between your desire to bury me and the pity you feel for knowing how my childhood was," he declared cuttingly.
I took a hand to my chest.
"How harsh, Ayanokouji-kun. Not even the slightest mercy," I said acting hurt. "Besides, that's the dichotomy that makes the beauty of our relationship wouldn't you agree? Oh, you can start this time around, I don't mind," I said as he signalled that we could begin our second chess match.
He accepted and made the first move as he placed his pawn on e4.
"You with your quest to understand emotions, and me desiring to help you said quest as a dear friend. Yet, at the same time wanting to crush you and what you represent with every cell of my body," I stated excited at the contradiction that carried our relationship.
I advanced my pawn to e5 and stopped my timer as to let Ayanokouji-kun's start again. He quickly placed his horse in f3.
TICK-TOCK

"Speaking of crushing," he began saying as I advanced a horse to the c6 position. "I wanted to ask you something."
He placed a bishop on c4, and I let out a chuckle.
"What is it?" he inquired puzzled at my reaction.
I shook my head slightly, a bit amused.
"Oh, nothing, Ayanokouji-kun," I said moving my bishop to c5. "I simply see now why you accepted my invitation," I showed a saddened face. "And I thought you wanted to spend time with your dear childhood friend."
"You're going to continue with that?" he advanced his pawn to b4.
After examining the board for a second, I decided to take that pawn with the bishop I had moved a moment ago.
"Why, Ayanokouji-kun, you're the childhood friend I never had. Can't I refer to you as such?"
"You didn't say that last part before," he sighed.
He placed a pawn on c3.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"I won't say 'childhood friend I never had" every single time, Ayanokouji-kun," I said humorously. "But tell me, what does my dear childhood friend need?"
I retreated the bishop to a5, and he moved his pawn forward to d4. I naturally took it with the pawn I had moved at the start of the game.
"I assume you know Nao has a spy on Class D," he said bluntly as he castled his king with his tower at my left.
I showed him my best shocked face as I let out a gasp and took both my hands to my mouth.
"A spy?!" I exclaimed. "Ayanokouji-kun! You shouldn't be sharing—"
"Sakayanagi..." he said giving me a glance.
I positioned my pawn in d3 and stopped my little act.
"Well, yes, I do know Nao-san has someone in your class," I admitted. "However, I have no knowledge of who this person is."
He raised an eyebrow.
"You don't?"
He stopped his clock after placing his queen on b3.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"I don't. To tell you the truth, I was expecting to find out during this exam."
That was part of my original idea. Nevertheless, that post on the forum that was published right as Nao-san presented me the special exam and mainly her reaction and attitude the following days, I feared her emotions would overrun her as they were doing right now. Therefore, I put her to the side and assigned Yamamura-san to watch over her.
This change on my original idea forced me to search for other alternatives and immediately went after the next best thing I could find inside Class D.
Koenji Rokusuke-kun.
The heir of the Koenji conglomerate that had been placed in Class D because of his unbearable attitude.
Thanks to Nao-san and Yamamura-san's efforts, I knew of his plans to reunite twenty million private points to buy his ticket to Class A and thus offered him the right incentive. Naturally, I considered Ayanokouji-kun might try to use Koenji-kun as well to confuse our class with the questions – like me, he had made clear that he would create his class's questions. But I had prepared a few countermeasures on the contract Yamamura-san and Koenji-kun had signed to prepare to Koenji-kun's possible betrayal. Even if fifty questions didn't appear important, they could very well be if our enemies knew them and secured them.
The problem here was to make sure Koenji-kun didn't forget his incentives for cooperating with us. That's where Satonaka-kun and Hashimoto-kun entered the board. I would have preferred to have Yamamura-san babysit Koenji-kun, but she was the only one that could keep an eye on Nao-san.
Of course, Koenji-kun would have the only signed copy of the contract but that wasn't too important either. He could very well refuse to fulfil the penalties that would befall on him. There was more than one way to get payback...
I moved my queen to f6 and Ayanokouji-kun replied by positioning his pawn on e5.
"But I suppose your favour has to do with Class D's traitor..."
I relocated my queen from f6 to g6.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
Ayanokouji-kun nodded.
"I need you to tell Nao to ask her spy for Class D's questions."
I raised an eyebrow at this.
Ayanokouji-kun moved his tower to e1, oblivious to my reaction.
"May I know what you intend to do with that?" I queried.
Ayanokouji-kun must know I wouldn't give those questions to Class A. Trying to confuse me with such a simple trick was meaningless.
"Just trick Nao," Ayanokouji-kun said truthfully.
"And why would you want to trick Nao-san, Ayanokouji-kun?" I asked inquisitively, moving my horse to e7 and stopping my timer, thus starting Ayanokouji-kun's.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"I just need her to understand something," Ayanokouji-kun shrugged.
He moved his bishop up to a3.
"Well, I'm going to satisfy myself with that answer for now, Ayanokouji-kun," I stated. "But I hope you don't intend to play with her."
"Aren't you doing just that?" he asked.
I positioned my pawn on b5.
"I'm watching for Nao-san, Ayanokouji-kun," I said honestly. "Granted, my methods might not be what normal people would do. But Nao-san isn't exactly normal. She's experiencing new emotions and is trying to open up to them."
I passed my right arm above the board and offered him my hand.
"Give me your hand, Ayanokouji-kun."
He took it, and I quickly passed my left arm and put my left hand over, enveloping his.
"What do you feel, Ayanokouji-kun?"
"...Your hands?"
I showed a tender smile.
"Try again," I said softly.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
He thought for a moment, as his eyes shifted between our hands, the board and the timer, his time was running by.
"Well... It feels soft and... warm, I guess?"
"Indeed, Ayanokouji-kun," my smile grew. "Warmth. People learn of warmth when they touch each other, and that's a very precious thing. The warmth of another human is by no means a bad thing. Please remember that."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a belated message from me to you," I simply said.
Slowly, I released his hand and returned to my previous position.
"Shall we continue?" I queried.
He nodded and moved his queen to b5 thus taking my pawn.
He pressed the button stopping his clock, which restarted mine.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
"So? Will you do it?" he asked.
I moved my tower one square to the left to b8.
"I'll take care of it," I said dismissively. "... You can consider it my thanks for coming here today. So, no need to worry about owing me anything."
"I see... Thank you."
He retreated his queen to a4.
"It's my pleasure, Ayanokouji-kun," I stated with a smile. "But don't play with Nao-san's feelings. She has suffered enough as is."
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
Ayanokouji-kun gave a slight nod.
"Don't worry. I'll remember what you said."
I couldn't help but feel happy hearing those words. I don't know how much my words would impact him, but I was certain he would think about them.
A smile on my face, I nodded, and we continued with our game as I positioned my bishop in b6.
Ayanokouji-kun won this match and the next three as well. His strategies were flawless and despite giving my best, I couldn't help but feel frustrated by how I just kept losing and falling for his traps. Still, each move made me feel more and more excited as I finally faced the Masterpiece and was able to see what he could do.
Instead of feeling discouraged, it only motivated me more.
No matter how I looked at it. He was the Masterpiece, and the rest were mere failures. It didn't matter how much they played around, pretending to be successes.
Finally, during our sixth match, Ayanokouji-kun grabbed his bishop, and moved it across the board a few cases until it reached g5 where he placed the bishop once again. Then, my timer restarted.
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
TICK-TOCK
He looked at me, waiting for my move. Yet, I didn't make it immediately. Instead, I studied the board carefully. There didn't appear to be anything that could tell you that Ayanokouji-kun or I had the advantage. It looked like anyone could take the advantage at any moment.
I still had about five minutes on my timer, but I couldn't relax since that would mean to lose precious time for the next moves. That's what I would normally think... After about two minutes of thinking, I let out a sigh and stopped the clock.
"It seems I lost once again, Ayanokouji-kun," I admitted my defeat.
"You could have continued. Your position wasn't actually a bad one."
Hearing Ayanokouji-kun's reply, I covered my mouth with my right hand, and I let out a soft amused laugh.
"That may be true right now, Ayanokouji-kun. But it's quite evident that in the next few moves, I would've found myself in store a difficult position," I declared letting him see that I was starting to understand his way of playing.
Ayanokouji-kun looked at the board again.
"I don't think it's that obvious," he stated uncertain.
"Fufufu, at first glance no, but after playing five times against you, it has become fairly obvious when things start to roll your way, Ayanokouji-kun," I replied amused.
"Hmm... You did well, though. This is the match I had to think my moves the most."
"I appreciate the compliment, but there's no need to reassure me," I declared confidently.
He gave a slight nod.
"In that case, how about a blitz game now?" he suggested.
Nevertheless, before I could reply, Ayanokouji-kun's phone turned on indicating that a notification had arrived.
He cocked his head to the right as if not understanding the message contents. It seemed his friends were actually trying to invite him to a surprise party.
"Did something happen, Ayanokouji-kun?" I queried curiously.
"It seems we won't be able to play another game, Sakayanagi" he answered. "Haruka wants me to go to the mall."
"Fufu, in that case, remember to appear surprised when everyone wishes you happy birthday," I giggled covering my mouth with my right hand.
He stood up from his chair.
"I'll do my best. Would you like to come? I'll pack the chess game."
"I fear I must decline. I want to stay here and review our chess matches. I'm not used to losing six times in a row in such manner. But please, do enjoy your surprise party," I gave him a warm smile.
I wasn't used to losing at all. So, these six defeats were ticking me quite a bit too much. I needed to understand where my mistakes were at the earliest and reevaluate my game to do better next time.
"Well, I enjoyed playing with you, Sakayanagi. And thank you for the coat," he said picking up the bag which contained the gift I gave him earlier.
"I'm glad you liked it, Ayanokouji-kun. I cannot wait for winter to arrive to see you wearing it," I declared in a graceful yet suggestive manner looking at Ayanokouji-kun.
"Hmm. It's a good coat," he said. "And about what I asked...?"
"Oh, worry not, Ayanokouji-kun. It shall be done," I replied dismissively.
I began reorganising the chess pieces across the board just as I did about three hours ago when I arrived at the library.
"Thank you. I'll return the favour."
"I already told you. There's no need, Ayanokouji-kun. The entertainment it'll give me will be more than enough."
I had to admit that I was quite curious in seeing Nao-san's reaction when she realises that the questions she would receive weren't the actual Class D's questions.
"Are you sure?"
"Quite."
"Having me owe you a favour might prove useful..." Ayanokouji-kun tried again.
"Oh, I'm well aware," I replied nonchalantly.
Giving a slight nod, Ayanokouji-kun finally dropped the subject. He bid his goodbyes and left me as I began reviewing our first match.
I sent a last glance at Ayanokouji-kun as his figure disappeared on the stairs. This will be my favour to you, Ayanokouji-kun. I hope you don't break Nao-san's heart but accept the human warmth she offers you.
_____________________________________________
So, I hope this and Koenji's SS explained what happened with Class A and D...
What are your thoughts? Did you like it? I really like this kind of guidance role Sakayanagi has on the LN as well as that sort of contradiction where she is both an ally and an enemy of Kiyotaka so I tried to portray that here.
The two chess games I showed, I found them on the site chessgames.com, the first one is Louis Paulsen vs Paul Morphy and the second one Adolf Anderssen vs Jean Dufresne. I know how to play chess but my knowledge of the game it's nowhere near from whatever Sakayanagi and Ayanokouji could do... It's just the basic, occasional game, so, I just went for this. There's also a reason to explain why I picked those two games...
One more SS to go.
Thank you for reading.
