Chapter 407: Checkmate~ (Subscribe!!)

After Jiang Yan delivered Little Ganyu to Moonlight Pavilion and returned, he saw a few little girls playing chess there with great enthusiasm.

"Big brother, want to come play chess with us?"

Seeing Jiang Yan return, Kamisato Ayaka happily invited him.

"This chessboard I made is unique to Inazuma. Let me explain how to play..."

On ordinary days, little Ayaka had to face all sorts of dull and tedious etiquette lessons every day.

Only when playing chess would she be a little happier.

For little Ayaka, chess was a pastime that could let her temporarily forget her worries and steal a moment of leisure from her busy life.

So she especially loved playing chess, and was very willing to share this game she loved with big brother.

Jiang Yan rarely played chess.

Because his chess skills were terrible; in fact, he basically didn't know how to play the thing at all.

But he believed—

It was just a little girl. No matter how bad his chess skills were, surely he wouldn't lose to a mere child, right?

Jiang Yan was full of confidence about this, then walked over and teased little Ayaka:

"Little girl, big brother is actually very strong."

"If you lose later, no crying or pouting, okay?"

"Hmph, big brother, don't you underestimate people."

Little Ayaka gave a coquettish hmph.

"I'm really good at chess!"

"Hahaha, then I must properly learn the chess skills of our little Ayaka."

Jiang Yan laughed heartily, and under the watching eyes of Little Ningguang and the other two little ones, began his match with Ayaka.

"Checkmate~"

After a short while, little Ayaka raised her head, a joyful expression in her tone.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, that move doesn't count. I was just about to play somewhere else."

Jiang Yan gave a light cough, and was just about to brazenly take back his move, when little Ayaka grabbed his hand.

"Big brother can't be a cheater!"

Little Ayaka said huffily.

Looking at the adorable little look of the girl across from him, Jiang Yan laughed heartily.

If a cute little girl isn't meant to be bullied, then it's completely meaningless.

He rubbed Ayaka's head and asked gently:

"Little Ayaka, who taught you to play chess? You're so good!"

The little one didn't even think, blurting out directly:

"Mommy taught me!"

"Mommy is amazing. Ayaka can never beat her."

When mentioning her mother again, little Ayaka's eyes lit up.
