Totsugi Okureta Kitsune ga Yome ni Kuru Hanashi - Ch. 118 - Gacha-gacha

[sarusa]

There are often little background bits that never get remarked on, you just gotta notice. Like this little pic of Yotsuyu staaaaaring at a gacha bug model. Presumably drooling. Or this one of Kogane instantly getting better
.

So yes, next time starts a two (Edit: Oops, three!) chapter arc. There's a little Drama but not too bad. And cheerleader Kogane.

Playing gacha-gacha with the Todas when Kogane really wants to play gotcha-gotcha with Goro.

Goro, you can't compete with grannies and country dwellers in board games. They were trained by years of not having any internet or tv.

Since with the Chinese system of writing each piece can be marked with a single character, it kind of makes sense not to have elaborate pieces like in chess. Yet at the same time, having those tiny statues in chess makes it more stylish and artistic. It also gives a whole lot of design options how to sculpt the pieces. Technically you could do the same with shogi, but in reality if the pieces have had that same shape and only the Chinese character for well more than a thousand years, it might not be taken too seriously if you changed the looks.

Not to mention, even a person who can't read any particular language can learn the chess pieces pretty easily, whereas learning to associate the Chinese characters with the particular piece would be harder for someone with no background in Chinese or Japanese (or old Korean, I presume).

That’s why I like go. One kind of piece, one kind of move.


Anyway I enjoyed the author’s brief defense of the modeling hobby here

Shogi would be a game I would learn if I had someone who was willing to (patiently) teach me. Go blows my mind every time I try to learn it because it's so simple.

Also, Goro once again demonstrating why he is best boyfriend by recognizing Kogane is tired and suggesting dinner out.

Thanks for the chapter!

Other issues with more artistically complex pieces in shogi are the rules for re-using captured pieces and the matter of promotion. Keeping track of who controls which piece would be more difficult, and you would need another set of new pieces to swap in for the promotions.

Board games are a splendid hobby especially with the growing community they have. There really is a lot you can enjoy. Sadly I for one cannot travel due to psych issues without being heavily medicated. I miss going to the local board game cafe.

Board games are great and there has even been a beginning trend for featuring solo play rules recently.

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Model figures (I'm more of the 'snap-on' type) and legos are pretty fun hobby to get immersed in.

I like the "taking care of each other" aspect of this chapter. Goro doesn't want Kogane to overwork herself in the home while she's also training with her father, and Kogane wants a healthy past-time for Goro when he gets home from work. Goro showing interest in playing games is positive progress, as he's previously stated he has no interest in pretty much any past-time. Also, Kogane seems to have lightened up about showing off her bumps and bruises to Goro. All in all a nice chapter. Thanks as always to sarusa and thumper. I await the next chapters whenever you want to release them.
