"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
She Tui asked the two people sitting at the table. In front of her was a chessboard... Black and white chess pieces were scattered around. She picked up a piece and pondered it, looking like an elegant chess player.

However, she only knows how to play Gomoku, and she can't even beat Yinla.
As for Inra, who is here...
"We meet again."
The young goddess said this, smiling wryly as she looked at the chessboard in front of the snake slough and Yinra within the World Tree. She asked curiously, "What game is this? Is it called 'Ride'? It looks fairer than the 'Cards' you invented."
Yes, it's fair... From an entertainment perspective, chess pieces can't compare to cards where luck plays a big role, but they do test a person's thinking and calculation abilities.
Of course, auto chess and similar games are not included in the category of "chess".
The snake molted and nodded in satisfaction at the girl deity's words, saying, "Of course, I'll teach you how to play. You'll understand once you play a few rounds with me. It's a lot of fun."
"Can."
"..."
Watching the snakes molting and the easygoing young goddess conversing amongst themselves, Yinla finally couldn't help but ask, "So, what's going on between you two? I just said goodbye to you the day before yesterday, didn't I?"
They said "we'll meet again when we have the chance," but today, when Inra came to the World Tree, she encountered the goddess girl again.
"To explain this, it's quite simple. I first went to the realm of gods, where I met Miss Snake Shedding."
As the young goddess spoke, she listened intently to the snake molting about the rule of "black first, white second," and said, "She has infiltrated a portion of the World Tree's power over there, which is why she can manifest from there."
In response, the snake molted and agreed, saying, "Yes, after careful study, I found that the reason why you and the elves disposed of my [Corruption Land] must be because it was too ugly, so I changed the form of my power to apple trees."
"Apples are sweet and delicious, they grow quickly, they don't crowd out the living environment of other creatures, they don't cause the land to mutate, and they grow beautifully. If it had been like this earlier, the elves certainly wouldn't have been so eager to eliminate my power."
The snake molting spoke as if it were making a funny joke, like a whitewashing scene from a second-rate comedy, but she was really serious... In fact, what she said was the truth.
If, instead of a bubbling, purplish-black swamp, the elven elders hadn't been corrupted, but instead had been apple-bearing trees, then obviously there would have been no need for Yinra to help save them.
Elf: Apple, delicious!
"Ah...sigh..."
Yinla wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh. He admitted that he didn't quite understand the other person's thought process, and could only say helplessly, "Because of your 'If only we had done this sooner,' so many people have died... But you obviously don't care."
Indeed, a snake wouldn't care about shedding its skin.
"Because I'm strong. If you were stronger than me, you could do whatever you wanted to me."
As the snake shed its skin, it confidently gestured for the girl god, who had already grasped the rules, to make the first move. She proudly said, "In Gomoku, usually the first player is guaranteed to win, but if the black pieces make a mistake, then the second player is guaranteed to win."
"..."
"That's interesting, but... as long as we form three-three, three-four, and four-four, that should be enough, right?"
The young goddess, who had almost instantly grasped the variables that would guarantee victory, blinked and placed a piece on the chessboard without hesitation, saying, "The one who moves a knight later can only rely on the mistake of the one who moves a knight first... Is that why it's called 'Knight'?"
The young goddess seemed to understand something. She gently tapped the chessboard, looked at the snake-like creature with an embarrassed expression, and said, "The situation is similar to a cavalry charge. As long as the battle formation is established, we can strike directly at the heart of the enemy... Whoever seizes the opportunity first and makes no mistakes will surely win."
You also know about directly attacking the enemy's capital? However, the character "棋" (chess) evolved from the character "箕" (ji).
"Cough cough..."
Snake Sheath coughed twice, realizing that the young goddess had already calculated the winning strategy. She waved her hand and scattered the pieces on the chessboard, saying, "I forgot to mention, besides this, there are also rules that restrict the first move, such as forbidden moves and exchanges."
Girl God: "..."
Yinla: "..."
You'll get beaten up if you do that, and if someone can beat you... Also, even if you add all the rules, you still can't beat her; their computing power is on completely different levels.
"Never mind that. You can play chess slowly after I leave."
As Yinla said this, he looked at the young goddess and asked, "And then? What happened next?"
"..."
"Then, the snake shed an apple and traded it for a piece of hard candy from you. That apple was amazing. After I ate it, I was able to deal with the calamity in the heavens without using much of my power."
She spoke of the young goddess in such a light and casual manner, revealing a sentimental expression, but for some reason, she omitted the process of being completely crushed by the snake's molt.
Although it's not something shameful, it still feels a little strange coming from her.
