[ 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.

[ 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. ]

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.

[ He's in Ouma's debt! ]
Thank you.

[ Those are good words, at least. ]
I will try to find someone who can make me a shogi board, first.
no subject
[ These ones are... because in this conversation he's a lot more willing to bend to it -- probably because it isn't about home, but here. ]

[ if akashi were a dog he'd be wagging his tail right now ]

[ Hopefully he was more... of a challenge than most people would be given who he is but still... ]
