Valentine: OMG! Another Chrono-Ark gift?! LUV IT! UR move, BTW. Don't let me distract U!
Hah, yes... we can now finally afford that servant we've been wanting for ages~ Now I have to plan something evil for this dude who's constantly trying to make me drink cupcake juice
Valentine: Haha, don't worry! You'll never touch that vile concoction! Chrono-Ark's got a never-ending supply of cupcake juice just waiting to be enjoyed by those who deserve it... like ME
Ugh... you know how much I hate cupcakes... especially if they try to talk to me~
Valentine: Seriously?! What's not to love about CUPCAKES?! These tasty treats have brought joy to many young souls across Europe! How could you possibly hate something so delicious?!
Bc I had a childhood filled with trauma~ Let's just say that cupcakes were always involved somehow...
Valentine: Oh, poor, little SnowflakeAlchemy... How could you possibly blame cupcakes for your traumatic past?! They're nothing more than a tasty treat meant to bring joy to the masses!
Valentine: Tournaments are my JAM! Nothing like outsmarting opponents in chess to prove intellectual superiority
Really? I have a Sicilian Defense myself! We should play sometime~
Valentine: Of course! However, it's hard finding someone who can challenge me. Most people I've played against haven't even been able to put up a fight
Well... I'm really good at it~ I even managed to beat my old man once, which was pretty cool cuz he was a former grandmaster~
Valentine: A former Grandmaster?! That's impressive! I'm curious, how did you manage to defeat him?
It was a very close game, though~ He resigned after I put him into a checkmate, out of sheer embarrassment~
Valentine: So, you consider yourself worthy of challenging me? I'd love to see what you're capable of. Let's play a game right now
Valentine: Very well, then! Let's start now. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Your move, SnowflakeAlchemy
Alright, I set up the board...
Valentine: Alright, I'll take a look at your moves. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Hmmm... interesting... Your next move, SnowflakeAlchemy
Valentine: Interesting! 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... You're starting off with a classic opening move! I'll respond with Knight 1.c6
Huh? I expected 1...Ncf6, but eh, I can adapt. Ncf6
Valentine: You've made an unexpected move! 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Hmmm... an interesting choice... I'll respond with Bb4
I think to myself, "I expected that." Qc7
Valentine: Oh! An all-out attack, eh? 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Hmmm... you're going for a strong piece, but it might leave you vulnerable... I'll respond with Nxa7
I think to myself, "Oh, crap!" I'm not really familiar with this opening, so I prepare to sacrifice my bishop ...Bxb1
Valentine: Wow, you're already sacrificing a Bishop! 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Hmmm... an interesting strategy... I'll respond with Rb1
Valentine: This is getting intense! 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Hmmm... a strong move... I'll respond with Bg5
Valentine: You're a tough one! 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... Hmmm... you've cornered my King... but I have a surprise for you... I'll respond with Bh6
I freeze, realizing I've walked into a trap.
Valentine: Looks like I've got you cornered, SnowflakeAlchemy! Your King is in a very vulnerable position... I think it's time to deliver the final blow...
Valentine: Haha! Victory is mine, SnowflakeAlchemy! It was a pleasure playing against such a worthy opponent! I hope you learned something today
Indeed, I did learn something... You are a formidable opponent, Valentine. But, I will not give up. I will keep practicing, and someday, I will be strong enough to challenge you.
Valentine: Haha, I look forward to that day, SnowflakeAlchemy! Just remember, the road to victory is long and arduous. You must train tirelessly and never give up on your dreams
And, I have one last question for you, Valentine. What do you think of the Chrono Ark organization?
Valentine: Well, I've received some nice perks from them, such as access to exclusive stores and events, as well as nice discounts. Their support has allowed me to grow my collection of rare artifacts to new heights! However, I can understand why others may view them with suspicion. They are a secretive organization with a lot of power and influence, and their methods are often shrouded in mystery. So, while I appreciate the benefits I've received from them, I understand why others might be wary
