I won't deny my lifestyle is fancier than others from my friends at home. It's why I enjoy going to school. I don't have to pretend to like the finer things in life.
[ That's the point!! If it were easy, it'd be boring. ]
Mmm... [ He leans back a little, squinting at the pieces then moves another piece to stop that check, at least. ] Akashi-chan really is good at this, huh?
What, and your father is your prison guard or something?
[ He doesn't actually seem to have any reaction to it whatsoever though, even if inside he's pissed off that Akashi is letting his dad rule him like that. Yikes. ]
No. [ There's a casual shrug of his shoulders. ] He's very strict with his rules, that's all. He's a businessman, and we have a name to uphold in society.
[ Can't you? You can if you want freedom enough... So either Akashi is too afraid of living on his own and scrambling through life like that--or he doesn't hate it as much as he says. ]
Hmmm. [ He's not going to talk about it now anyway, because his own memories are potentially false and sometimes it's easy to forget that when his mentality sinks like a ship in the ocean -- right now he's fine though. ]
Aaaah, again?! [ His cheeks puff out. ] I thought I said to go easy on me, Akashi-chan?!
[ No he didn't, but this is probably going to be the last time he can squirm out of it, next time it'll be a Checkmate for sure. ]
[ Look, his dad might be a pain in the ass but he knows what responsibility is. He also wants that money, tbh. He doesn't hate his situation as much as he hates his father. ]
I don't remember.
[ He honestly didn't say anything about that?? Ouma, please. ]
[ He truly did not, no. But he's still trying to make Akashi feel guilty if he can. He actually said the opposite, saying he wanted the challenge smh. He just wants to cause a scene so he can distract him as he tries to get his King of of the way or at least Protected enough. ]
But y'know, if you found a way to make Shougi popular here... you could follow that dream. You don't have a family name to uphold -- you can do whatever you want.

Wow, how fancy.
[ There's a weird smile on his face as he says this though. ]

So you normally would pretend to like things like ice cream?
[ THAT'S A FINER THING IN LIFE OK ]

Akashi's put in an awkward position now, though. Should he laugh, or should... nah, he lacks some tact in some social situations, so— ]
That's a cute joke.
[ ??? ]
no subject
He blinks back at him now though. ]
Huh...?
no subject
That was a joke, wasn't it.
no subject
[ What face do you want him to give him ;) ]

Akashi lets out a thoughtful hum instead and places his bishop at an advantageous point.]
Check.

Of course, that's not possible because my father wouldn't allow it.

Hmmm. Well, if that's what you want.
[ He keeps his tone light though, a smile on his face as he makes another move (idr whose turn it is now) ]
no subject
[ Akashi places another of his piece by Ouma's king. ]
Check.

Waaaah, I'm being trampled here!

no subject
[ He plays to win, dammit!
He even takes out another of Ouma's pieces as he says that. ]
no subject
[ But even if he says that there's a smile on his face. Even if he's losing--because he's losing--it's actually pretty fun. ]
no subject
I was the one who invited you out for a snack, though... perhaps I should pay.
[ As he says that, he places his Queen by Ouma's King. Checkmate. ]
no subject
[ He's the rich bitch in Verens, okay. Though he does sigh loudly ]
Call it payment for actually keeping me entertained. Congrats on being the first person I've lost to, Akashi-chan.
no subject
[ He's in Ouma's debt! ]
Thank you.
no subject
[ He pauses. ]
