"Swear to the Covenant!" ””

- Before the beginning of the first qiē, they swore that they would not tell others about the meeting in any form and record it.

The three races of the sea, the orcs, and the human race, bet on the game of race chess pieces - before this game begins, it is indeed necessary to have a series of negotiations and communication.

This meeting was also broadcast on the monitors of the three races, so that the people of the three races understood what was going on.

A game needs rules, and the rules need to be made and communicated by the plenipotentiary agents of the three races, which has become the consensus of everyone now.

On the stage on the first floor of the Eastern United Embassy in Elkia—

Among the people sitting around a round table, one of them, a blond fox-eared shrine maiden, began to speak first

"The basic rules of the game will not change - for all players participating in the game, if our orc race wins, the other game participants will forget about the game, and of course, it will only make these memories disappear, and will not affect other memories."

"Don't worry, Miss Shrine Maiden, we understand this rule very well, we can't remember any information about the previous game, it's a pity."

Sora picked up the witch's words, glanced at his sister, and Shiro continued

"The rules of erasing memory...... Acceptable...... Bet on, race chess pieces...... Winner, there is only one ......"

Bai's words emphasize that this time the game is to bet on each other's race pieces.

In addition, there is only one meaning of the victor - the victor can become the carte carte blanche of the three races.

There is no doubt that this is a game of meaning that will change the current landscape of this world.

Whoever is going to understand that when a person, or a group, becomes the plenipotentiary agent of the three races, there is much that can be done.

"Now that you understand the basic rules, let's talk about the details of the game this time, Ino."

"Yes, Mikometsu-sama. This time the game is called [Virtual Beast Chess]. ”

Ino stood up from his position, and a display facing all around appeared on the table.

There are many mythical beasts composed of several jù on the display screen, some of which are terrifying, and some of which are cute.

"First of all, these mythical beasts will randomly represent the [king] [queen] [horse] and other chess pieces in chess, and unlike ordinary chess, [contestants] will directly direct these beast chess pieces in the game to play."

"There's a problem."

The first person to ask questions was Plame, who was next to Hiiragi.

"[Direct Command] means moving with those [Divine Beast Chess Pieces]?"

"Yes, that's right."

"But what does [Divine Beast Chess Piece] mean? Can it really be done? Using illusion or magic? ”

"As you know, we orcs don't use magic...... However, since we have all sworn to the Covenant, it is okay to tell Your Excellency, and we will implement virtual games as props for this competition. ”

"It's complicated...... So, then the next one – the second question, what about the contestants? The physique of the orc race, the skywing race, the human race, the bloodsucking species, and the marine species are completely different, right, so it won't be an unfair factor? ”

Hiiragi also has to deny that he won't let Layla or Mikai participate in the game.

"Rest assured, in the game, everyone's physical parameters will be unified."

This way, this way......

Hiiragi also understood the idea of the orc race again, and if the body parameters of all people were unified, the Kibril of the Tianyi race would lose its advantage.

In addition, this value will definitely be on the high side, but it will definitely not be too high, and it is estimated that it will barely maintain around the parameters that Izuna can use [Blood Damage].

"Okay, I don't have a problem."

"It's me, it's me!"

Leila raised her hand in the water, and Meihai next to her also imitated it, what are you doing, this is not a quiz show.

Hiiragi thought the same thing, and Ino politely motioned for Layla to ask a question

"Can I eat that pine nut?"

“…………”

Asked a rather stupid question.

However, Ino remained calm in front of the shrine maiden and nodded in agreement.

Leila picks up the pine nuts and pushes them away from the side of her mouth.

"Please, dear ......"

"Thank you, but don't ask stupid questions that don't matter."

"I see, I'm not going to ask stupid questions anymore, hehehe......"

Feeding Matsunu to Hiiragi's mouth, and after taking one and feeding it to Mikai to eat, Leila wagged her tail happily.

"What a envy...... No, Mr. Ino, I have a question too. ”

Sora interjected at this point, and he asked a question that made Hiiragi feel inappropriate too.

"I'm interested in your virtual games, but until then, how should the three-way chess be played? Isn't it worrying that two of them will team up to exclude the other before starting the game for both sides? ”

"Please rest assured at this point, in order to prevent two of the three parties from cooperating, there is an additional rule, that is, [the combat target is not allowed to lock one person]."

"That's?"

"Assuming that Mr. Sora's first step is to attack Izuna, the next step must be to attack Nangong-sama until one of them quits the game."

"That's right...... It's possible to limit cooperation on a certain course, but ah......"

Hiiragi spoke before he could open his mouth.

"I know what you're thinking, assuming I've already checked this step, I won't be able to kill the other person in the next step, right?"

Ino nodded.

Even if you have a checkmate, you can't kill your opponent right away.

The only way to win is to force the opponent to not escape the fate of being checked in the next step, however, this is impossible, or rather, it is as difficult as heaven.

"That's the rule, do you have any questions? If not, just continue. ”

In the face of Ino's question in turn, the others had no problem.

"To sum up, besides, the other rules are the same as in normal chess."

After Ino finished speaking, he summed up the rules.

(1) The content of the game is a virtual game of [Virtual Beast Chess];

(2) The chess pieces will be replaced by mythical beasts;

(3) The physical values of the participants in the game will all be the same;

(4) Cooperation is prohibited in the game, and the rule of [no locking of one person in the battle target] must be followed;

(5) Cheating is prohibited in the game.

(6) According to the covenant, the marine species, the orc race, and the human race will bet on the race pawns.

Obviously, Article 5 is merely a decoration.

"The meeting is over? So let's go back and kiss! ”

"I'd like to continue the discussion."

Hiiragi, who was entangled by Leila and was almost pulled into the water, thought the same thing.
