Oh poor murasa, assuming that just because someone is a major ditz who's prone to losing their clothes (and everything else) means they'd be easy prey.
Then again after seeing one of this Shou's displays, just about anyone would make that mistake.

But even if she did win against kogasa,what will kogasa do since she has the element of surprise? maybe she will train even harder that she outwitted even nazrin![/spolier].

The literal meaning in this situation is indeed closest to "there's nothing" or "I have nothing", but it's a set phrase for board game resignation in Japanese and should therefore be translated as one.
3 years later I noticed the cloud at one of the text balloons in the second panel. Add Unzan to the "characters who can beat Murasa at Shogi" pool.
I'm pretty sure the cloud refers to Kumoi Ichirin, not Unzan, who I don't think ever speaks in this comic.
Ugh...!First of all, stop thrusting with your end pawns at the start of the game.I'll bust your head open for you!♡My offense is self-taught! So it has no pattern!I can beat her!I-I'm sorry! Um, you were great in going easy on me! Or, um...That's three losses in a row...Please, just call me "You're-just-a Piece-o'-shit-su"...Nazrin! I lost my change of clothes!I can never tell whether Nue's attacking or defending, so I lose.The 81 System, using rapid ranging-rook or static-rook offense and castling as the basic form for responding to your opponent's moves in the early stages.Your head, Master.Nazrin's a major tactics geek, so there's no way I can compete.I resign...It...it's just my thing, okay! So that leaves...※Bishamonten is a god of war.●Murasa Minamitsu—Toramaru Shou◯
