Chapter 43 - Chess / Messages

After a few minutes Wendy, Aria and Mei arrived, they were a little tired from the patrol so they got on the sofa.

Kamisora ​​Reo "would you like something to drink to cool off?" I asked

Wendy Yoshino "uhm give me a few seconds to think about it," she said

Kamisora ​​Reo "ok Wendy, and you Aria what would you like to drink?" I said as I turned to look at her

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "give me a coffee in a can" said as she reached out her hand

Kamisora ​​Reo "wait a moment for me to take it, you want something to eat with the coffee" I said

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "no thanks" said

Wendy Yoshino "as always you are of few words Kanzaki, anyway Reo a fresh tea is fine for me" she said smiling

Kamisora ​​Reo "ok Wendy, while for you Mei?" I asked

Xin Mei "I'm fine with coke," he said

So I went to get their order, added some chips and peanuts.

Kamisora ​​Reo "Here I have brought your orders" I said with the tray, the drinks and the food in my hand

Wendy Yoshino "thank you Reo-chan" said, so she got up to get her fresh tea

I also passed Xin Mei and Aria Holmes Kanzaki their drinks and put the tray with the chips and peanuts on the table, so while we ate we talked about our missions.

Kamisora ​​Reo "Wendy how did your mission go? From what I understand there was no Zombie" I said

Wendy Yoshino "yes they weren't there but better this way, at least we didn't have to do many things and we also completed the mission" she said happily

Kamisora ​​Reo "I'm glad, but there is a matter that may be worrying for the future" I said with a serious expression

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "What is this thing that might worry someone like you who has superior strength and could deal with a thousand Zombies with ease?" She asked worriedly as everyone in the room paid attention to the subject.

Kamisora ​​Reo "on TV they said that there was an accident in Shikoku, apparently there came a horde of people who flocked to Shikoku prefecture, then with all that fuss the Zombies were lured to Shikoku and so were attacked en masse by almost alldirection, luckily they exterminated the Zombies but the base there was in danger of being destroyed "I said while taking a breath

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "now that you say it it seems that the situation is becoming critical, luckily we didn't go to Shikoku, even if I doubt that in one day we can get there ..." she said

Xin Mei "Anyway now we can have more time," he said

Ayumi Yoshida "in what sense more time?" Asked

Kamisora ​​Reo "more time because now that the Zombies have been lured to another place we now have more time to make our preparations without Zombies, but in my opinion it is not positive" I said worried

Wendy Yoshino "why is there to worry?" Asked curiously

Kamisora ​​Reo "it's not that I want to bring bad news, but if there is a horde going to Shikoku then where do you think they will go?"

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "y-do you mean they're going to town to town with over 20,000 Zombies to destroy as they travel?" She asked with a bit of fear at the prospect of ending up with over 20,000 Zombies

Kamisora ​​Reo "this is exactly what worries me" I said with a sigh, while all those present remained silent with a shiver that ran down his spine at the thought of a horde of approaching Zombies

Hanako "what are we going to do then?" She asked worriedly

Kamisora ​​Reo "don't worry Hanako, we just have to prepare and get strong enough to face the Zombies" I said

Hanako "... I understand, but how are we going to get stronger?" He asked

Kamisora ​​Reo "we only have to get weapons or hunt the Zombies in order to become stronger, each kill you get EXP that will allow you to level up and thus get points to use to become stronger, or if you are lucky the Zombies you kill will give you Some ofyou aim to make yourself stronger "I explained

Genta Kojima "Is it like a video game in reality?" He said

Kamisora ​​Reo "if you put it this way then that's it, it's a game where we are the players but in the real world" I said

Kamisora ​​Reo "but now we don't think anymore, now someone wants something else?" I said to change the subject

Kogoro Mouri "I don't think anyone would want anything right now, but that's enough for me and my good beer left over" he said as he pulled it out, so Kogoro drank the beer as if it were water while dancing and laughing like crazy, we who we saw we laughed and then the environmentbecame more serene.

And so to pass the time and not get bored we have come up with party games like: Force Four, Battleship, The Goose Game, Checkers, Monopoly, Risk, Taboo, Jenga and more.

We had found all these games in the room or when we went to "loot" supermarkets. While we were playing Kogoro was drinking a lot and that is why when he won he would scream and dance around the room, in my opinion it was Wendy who had made him win because it was fun to see him that way, he cheered everyone up and so we were grateful to Kogoro.

When we were playing I noticed that Ayumi and Hanako often played together and had a fighting aura for some reason, while Aria was playing Chess with Mei and from what I saw Aria was beating Mei like nothing, I thought it was because she was the descendant of SherlockHolmes but perhaps it was not for this but for his intelligence that surpassed normal people.

After Aria won who knows how many times she decided to play with me and I accepted because I wanted to see how it was played, when Aria started she explained to me how the rules of the game work but even so I had lost.

After two games I had improved a lot and because of this I somehow managed to use a move called Double Attack not that I understood how it worked but I had searched the internet which said: It is the simultaneous attack on two enemy pieces with only one move.

A double attack greatly increases the pressure on the opponent and forces him to strengthen his defense and / or modify its structure (provided he is a good player and does not leave defenseless pieces).

For this type of attacks the horse is often used, which can attack the other pieces without being attacked in turn.

This theme is particularly effective if one of the two attacked pieces is the king: the opponent must forcibly repair the check, wasting precious time and often giving the other piece to the attacker.

A double attack made by a pawn is called a "fork", while a double attack made by a horse is called "glasses.

And what I had read on wikipedia, when I used that move Aria was surprised and because of this her aura got stronger and this meant that she would be serious, after I lost again because she had used a move that beat what I knew and that move yeshe called the discovery attack.

On wikipedia it said this: A discovery attack is made when a player, by moving his own piece, opens the way for another, who attacks an enemy piece: this can increase the offensive pressure because the moved piece, in turn, can threaten other pieces.

A special case is the discovery check, in which the attacked piece is the opponent's king.

In the meantime we were playing, the others were also watching us because our games were exciting, I won with sweat dripping from my forehead to show that playing with Aria had been challenging.

Kamisora ​​Reo ".... it was challenging but thanks to you I discovered a new game that I like, so thank you Aria" I said gratefully

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "I would like to say that I was pleased too, but with how much you have improved in these two hours I can only be amazed by your learning speed that exceeds the monstrous word" she said laughing as she too wiped her sweat

Kamisora ​​Reo "d-come on don't overdo it, I'm not that good" I said while I didn't believe his words

Aria Holmes Kanzaki "y-you're a ... Hmph!" Turned around as she was angry for some reason and so we played something else

And so while we were playing another game that was a floating panel appeared in front of me, so I realized that a message had come from some of the members who had left.

*************

Conan Edogawa: Reo I need help

Kamisora ​​Reo: What happened Conan ?!

Conan Edogawa: when we went to pick up Ran's mother everything went well, we didn't find Zombie on the street and so we were able to take her with us, but then a scary thing happened on the way back.

Kamisora ​​Reo: Things that might scare you with your current strength ?!

Conan Edogawa: The scary thing is that on our return we found a horde of almost over 2,000 Zombies on the street!

Kamisora ​​Reo: w-what !! I thought we had more time!

Conan Edogawa: in what sense more time?

Kamisora ​​Reo: you see, maybe you don't know but on TV they said that Shikoku was invaded by a horde of people and Zombies and that's why I thought there was more time without Zombies

Conan Edogawa: oh you're talking about that, I knew it but I thought the same as you so I didn't take it seriously, but apparently it was our mistake

Kamisora ​​Reo: true true, however where are you now that I come to your rescue

Conan Edogawa: uhm we're in Osaka

Kamisora ​​Reo: I understand Osaka

Conan Edogawa: yes, right there, you took it really well Reo

Kamisora ​​Reo: wait are you telling the truth ?!

Conan Edogawa: yes why?

Kamisora ​​Reo: w-what! It was true!

Conan Edogawa: I wish it wasn't but it's all true

Kamisora ​​Reo: ... and tell me how did you get there?

Conan Edogawa: I don't know how but we met a guy who proclaimed himself my rival, if I'm not mistaken he is the Detective of the West and his name is Heiji Hattori!

Kamisora ​​Reo: how you talk about it really bothers you, but tell me how your meeting went until you reached Osaka

Conan Edogawa: ok ok, it happened that while we were going to the hotel we met by chance, Heiji showed up and said he wanted to challenge me, and then he followed us because he knew that Shinichi that is me was connected to Ran who was staying with me in that moment

Kamisora ​​Reo: then?

Kamisora ​​Reo: We met a little girl who got lost in the casino while people moved to Shikoku, we decided to help her get home, but when we found out where her home was, we were surprised

Kamisora ​​Reo: and where was the little girl's house?

Conan Edogawa: It was in Shizuoka, we had checked how long it would take by car and we saw that it would take at least 2 hours, so we went there

Kamisora ​​Reo: and tell me, doesn't it seem strange to you that you live in Shizuoka?

Conan Edogawa: I also found it strange and so I asked the little girl, she told me that her grandparents were there when they lived here but she didn't remember where, her parents had saved her from some Zombies but they are were bitten, and not to worry her they had told her togo to her grandparents when she wakes up, leave her a message, and you know the rest

Kamisora ​​Reo: heck! I'm sorry for the little girl, we hope nothing happens but how did you get to Osaka yet?
