The tenth year of competing alongside Seraphina
She's getting married.
I provoked her fiancé at a chess tournament.
After she found out, she revoked all my competition qualifications.
I didn't cry or make a fuss.
But she went crazy, pinning me against the wall and kissing me: "Why aren't you making a scene this time?"
I won't say. Because, you see, I'm dying.

Trophy Given to Her Childhood Sweetheart By Girlfriend

The Chess Grandmaster looked at the game board on the hospital bed, gracefully conceded defeat, and handed me the Chess Grandmaster trophy.


Her expression was one of tenderness and joy that I had never seen before.


She whispered in my ear: "Melody, I knew you could do it, I just knew it."


She finished speaking and our eyes met.


Her eyes were full of anxiety, like a pet that had done something wrong and was begging for forgiveness.


No matter what, I will never forgive you, Seraphina.


So I smashed the trophy I had just received on the ground.


I looked at Seraphina with cold indifference.


"Forget it, after all this time, I don't want it anymore."


"Seraphina, you said the chess pieces from before could be repaired. So is it possible that this trophy could be fixed too?"
