Chapter 7: The Result
Chapter 7: The Result
"So, what do you want to talk about, Kaichou?" Jin asked as he moved another white pawn.
"About that, actually, the student council has been eyeing a few male students. The reason is that we are about to invite one male student to join our student council." Sona answered without looking at him. She moved the black chess piece skillfully, still with her confident smile.
"That's some news. I bet the male students are happy with such news. And so, why am I being called here?" Jin could somehow guess her intention, but he pretended to be oblivious and asked. He did this to better know the individual called Shitori Sona, so he would be able to plan his next move.
He moved another piece. This time, it was the bishop. Sona frowned a little seeing Jin's move, but she quickly regained her composure and countered Jin's move.
"My, it seems that the older Hyoudou is a bit dense, different from his perverted little brother." Sona giggled a little as she moved another piece. "Check." She said as her hand moved to the tea on the side, lifting the cup and drinking from it.
"Please, Kaichou. Surely I am not that dense." Jin moved his King forward, surprising Sona with his move. "I was just saying that the male students would be happy with such news, and I don't want to embarrass myself by making an assumption." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Makes sense. I surely also don't want to embarrass myself in your situation. My apologies for calling you dense." Sona said, bowing her head a little before raising it again and moving another piece on the board.
"No offense taken. You don't need to apologize. Anyway, can you please answer why I am being called here?" Jin replied.
"If I said that I wanted to invite you to the student council, what is your answer, Hyoudou-kun?" Sona asked with a joking tone ."Anyway, it's a Check again." She moved her Queen to take Jin's pawn.
"Hahaha, I will just laugh it off, Kaichou. Then I will answer something like this. Sorry, I will have to refuse because I am not interested or something like that." Jin moved his Queen to take down Sona's Queen. "It's a Check, Kaichou."
"Is that so? It's such a shame." Sona sounded disappointed, but she did her best not to show it on her face. She was the student council president and was only interested in Jin because she felt something strange about him.
Sona was a devil. Someone belonged to one of the noble houses on top of that. Shitori Sona was the fake name that she used to attend Kuoh Academy on Earth. Her real name was Sona Sitri, the heiress of Sitri's house.
Somehow, when she saw him, she couldn't help but think that the individual called Hyoudou Jin was special. She couldn't explain it herself, but she was so interested in him that she wanted to invite him to her peerage, to be her servant.
'He's really smart. Maybe the smartest human in this academy.' Sona thought as she looked at the chess board in front of her.
This was also the first time she got so surprised in a game of chess against someone of the same age. The only one that could go against her was Rias, mainly because she didn't have that many friends, but the closest one that was about to beat her so far was only her best friend as well as rival Rias Gremory.
So she couldn't believe it when the boy in front of her was giving her a hard time in a game of chess. And possibly, he only played around until now.
"What could make you possibly get interested in someone boring like me, Kaichou?" Jin asked, moving his knight to corner her King after she moved it to escape from the sudden Check earlier.
Now she only had a few pieces left except for her King, 2 Bishops, and 5 Pawns, to be exact, while Jin still had his Queen, 1 Knight, 2 Bishops, and 2 Rooks. His pawns were long gone; he sacrificed them.
If she didn't make a brilliant move right about now, she would certainly lose this game. And losing in a chess game was something that wasn't written in Sona's dictionary as the consequences would be too big for her.
'This is rather bad for me, isn't it.' She grimaced as her mind raced at full speed, thinking about how she could turn this situation to her advantage.
She also noticed Tsubaki's concerned gaze from behind, but she reassured her with a smile.
While so, she was also thinking about how to answer his question. Finally, she arrived at an answer that wouldn't give a clue to him.
"Isn't it natural for me to recruit the most popular guy as the first male student council member? That way, the students will look at the student council rather favorably, no?" She smiled at him.
Her main reason for being personally interested in him should be kept quiet so it wouldn't destroy her image. Tsubaki even nodded in agreement when she heard what Sona had said.
"Fair enough." Jin nodded as he moved his Queen, putting it next to Sona's King. "It's a Checkmate, Kaichou. It seems that I have won this game."
"Wha?!" Sona exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the board. "I-It's true"
He smirked sadistically and drank the tea that Tsubaki had prepared for him before the game, ignoring the surprised Sona as he muttered. "It's lukewarm."
"How How did you win?" Sona still couldn't accept that she had lost.
Tsubaki was also surprised as she muttered in a low voice, "Kaichou"
"It's not important, no?" Jin stated, "The important thing is that I won. That means You will grant one of my wishes, right?"
Sona grunted in defeat. It was true, and she had lost in a fair game. She wouldn't take back her words, as that would slander her house's name. More so when she was the one who proposed such a bet.
Granting Jin's wish was not the problem. Her old promise to her parents and the devil society was the one that caused her to deny her loss. It was something that she had decided long ago, and everyone knew about it.
'Grrrrr I never expected this.' She growled inside her mind as she bit her lower lips.
Then she said with a resolute expression, "Fine." Lost was still a loss. "Tell me your wish."
"Perfect!" Jin exclaimed as he snapped his finger. "Then, I want you to" He then told her his wish, which caused her eyes to widen in surprise.
