Yaotome, the adorable president of her high school's shogi club, is confident that her underclassman Ayumu, the sole other member, harbors a deep affection for her. Every day after school, they engage in shogi matches, but despite her attempts, she fails to coax or trick him into confessing his feelings. What Yaotome doesn't realize is that Ayumu has made a pact with himself to reveal his love once he defeats her in a shogi game. However, there's a significant obstacle in his way: Ayumu is an incredibly poor player.

Despite his lack of skill, Ayumu is determined to win against Yaotome and fulfill his promise. He spends countless hours practicing and studying, determined to improve his game. However, as the day of their shogi match approaches, Ayumu's confidence wavers. He knows that Yaotome is a formidable opponent, and he fears that he may not be able to stand up to her.

On the day of the match, Ayumu arrives at the shogi club, his heart pounding with anticipation. He takes his seat, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. Yaotome, on the other hand, appears calm and composed, ready to face her opponent. The game begins, and Ayumu quickly finds himself in a difficult position. He makes mistake after mistake, unable to keep up with Yaotome's strategic moves.

As the game progresses, Ayumu's frustration grows. He knows that he needs to change his strategy if he wants to stand a chance against Yaotome. He starts to take risks, hoping to catch her off guard and gain an advantage. But Yaotome is too skilled, and she quickly adapts to his new tactics.

Despite Ayumu's best efforts, he is unable to defeat Yaotome. The match ends in a draw, and Ayumu feels a sense of disappointment. He knows that he has let himself down and that he has failed to fulfill his promise to reveal his love.

As they walk away from the shogi board, Ayumu turns to Yaotome and confesses his feelings. He tells her that he has been in love with her for a long time, but he was too afraid to tell her. Yaotome is surprised and touched by his confession, and she realizes that she has been feeling the same way.

From that day on, Ayumu and Yaotome become a couple. They continue to play shogi together, but now they do it as a team, working together to improve their skills and overcome their challenges. Ayumu's lack of skill no longer holds him back, and he becomes a fierce competitor, determined to win every match.

Yaotome is proud of her boyfriend's progress, and she knows that their love has grown stronger because of their shared passion for shogi. They continue to support each other in their endeavors, and their love story becomes an inspiration to others in the shogi club.

In the end, Ayumu's determination and perseverance pay off, and he achieves his goal of defeating Yaotome in a shogi match. He reveals his love to her, and they embrace, knowing that their love will continue to grow and thrive, no matter what challenges they may face.
