Black Strategist

Helping Black Strategist Win

(Idle)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-ne-ne... (How could this be...)

(Talk to Black Strategist)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ne, ehn-ne... (If I had thought one step further just now, I wouldn't have...)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne, ehn-ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (No, no, now's not the time for regrets. I should stay calm, scope out the situation, and think of a countermeasure...)

Black Strategist: Ne-ehn-ehn, ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne-ne! (No, it's too late to just sit and watch now! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!)

What are you doing?

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (I'm playing a game of Bangboo King Chess, and I can't see any way to win. Hold on...)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne? Ehn-ehn-ne... Ehn-ne-ne... (A human? Is that a human I'm seeing? Here to teach me Bangboo Chess? I've started hallucinating something this ridiculous...?)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ehn-ehn. (They say Bangboo can burn out their cores from overthinking. Seeing the most expected hallucination right before shutdown... Looks like my time is running out.)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne ehn-ehn-ne, ehn... (Sorry everyone... next life I'll definitely take better care of my core...)

I'm not a hallucination.

I'm just a spectator who doesn't understand chess.

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne! (I see... that's good. It's not a hallucination. No, wait, that's not good at all. I still have to face a crushing defeat!)

Gather the pieces together!

Focus the attack on one point!

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-ne? Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ne... (Are you teaching me how to play chess? This still has to be a hallucination, wait...)

The black strategist searches for weaknesses in the opponent while signaling for the remaining black pieces to concentrate and create small-scale two-on-one skirmishes.

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-ehn? Ehn-ne-ne... Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (Gather the pieces, focus the attack? I've never seen a move like that... but that also means the opponent definitely won't expect it. Worth a try!)

After a chaotic, seemingly messy maneuvering battle from an outsider's perspective, the black side turned the tables from a losing position and secured victory!

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne! Ne-ne-ehn-ne-ne! Ehn! (Great! So it wasn't a hallucination! Thanks to your help, we were able to win this battle!)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (I've fully grasped the charm of Bangboo Chess tactics!)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne-ne ehn-ne! (Although... I can't split the reward with you, but I know exactly what humans like!)

After thanking you profusely, the polite little Bangboo wheels out a Mini Cargo Truck from somewhere as a token of gratitude.

(If Black Strategist has already been helped before)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ne, ehn-ne... (If I had thought one step further just now, I wouldn't have...)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne... (*sigh*... Is chess just an endless cycle of tasting regret over and over...)

Can I help with anything?

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne. (Ah... a hallucination. No, wait, it's not. You are the human who helped me last time.)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne! Ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne! (I remember now, I remember everything! That tactic, that moment of victory!)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (Don't worry, I won't need your help this time. I'll turn the tables myself!)

Helping White Strategist Win

(Idle)

Black Strategist: Ehn, ehn. (Bangboo King Chess is my specialty.)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-nah! (No Bangboo can beat me!)

(Talk to Black Strategist)

Black Strategist: Ehn, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne! (No challenge at all. Their tactician only knows the game, not the Bangboo heart!)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-ehn, ehn-ehn-ehn-ne! (They actually let their Bangboo king push deep alone. Hah, I can't see how we lose this one!)

The most important thing in battle is never to underestimate your opponent.

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne, ehn-ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne-ne-ehn! (Your words make sense, wise one—but only if they're even qualified to be called enemies! Hah!)

(Idle after losing)

Black Strategist: En-nah... En-nah... (I can't believe... we lost...)

(Talk to Black Strategist)

Black Strategist: Ne-ne-ehn-ehn, ehn-ne? (So you're the one guiding the white side from behind?)

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne-ne... Ehn-ne! (I think I heard them call you... Bangboo Chess Master!)

Yeah, that's me!

This title is... so embarrassing.

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne, ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ehn! (So you're the legendary "city-born chess player's soul," the "cloud-soaring divine bird," the "Bangboo Chess Master born to turn the tide"!)

I can't possibly hold that many titles.

Where'd the first two titles come from?

Black Strategist: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne-ne? (What advice did you actually give the white strategist that let her turn the game around from that hopeless situation?)

That's confidential...

It's all about momentum!

Black Strategist: ...Ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne. Ehn-ne-ne, ne-ehn! (...Looks like you're not going to tell me more. Fine, I lost this round, but I'll win next time!)
