Chapter3: Journey's end, but...

Ahh. Finally, I'm here.

Let me get the chess game with Barragan over with. I just want to go back already.

Hmm? This is a rare guest we have here.

I came to fill in for Tosen.

You mean, you will be my opponent for this game of chess?

That would be correct.

Hold on, there.

First, I need to make sure you're a worthy opponent for King Barragan.

Huh?

No, this can't be. This just isn't right.

How could I lose so miserably?!

There's nothing strange about it. We had a normal game, and this was the result.

Wait! That game was far from beautiful!

I demand a rematch!

Uh... Don't you think this is enough? Are you satisfied yet?

I lost...five times in a row.

I can't bear to allow that!

I am King Barragan's number one Fraccióne! Failure is not an option!

Calm down. We're just passing time here.

Passing time?! You're saying that you were playing me just to "pass time?!"

Oh, now, I can never forgive you. You will regret your words!

*Sigh*

Hm? You seem tired, Gin. Did something happen to you?

Tosen asked me for a favor earlier in the day, but things just didn't go smoothly.

Is that so? Actually, I was hoping I could ask you for a favor as well.

Uh, what is it?

Can you visit Nnoitora and-

Not today, I'm sorry. Can I do this another time?
