Chapter 127: The Village
"So, what kind of game is it?"
Top Chat: Huh? Elf-san, you don’t know?
Top Chat: You said you took it on because it sounded interesting, right?
Top Chat: Yeah, you mentioned that this morning.
"Oh."
Top Chat: She really didn’t know lol
Top Chat: So basically, it looked fun, but she doesn’t know the details yet
Top Chat: What did you ask about in the DMs?
"A game for a lot of people to play together."
Top Chat: That’s all you needed? lol
Top Chat: Elf-san’s standards are surprisingly loose
Top Chat: Like an elementary school kid?
"Playing together with all of you sounds fun."
Top Chat: Guhh
Top Chat: Don’t just purify us out of nowhere like that
Top Chat: We wanna play with Elf-san too!
Top Chat: Probably impossible though
Top Chat: ※Over ten thousand concurrent viewers
"Impossible?"
"Uh, I’m not part of the programming team, so I don’t know the details, but yeah, it’s probably impossible."
Top Chat: Only social games can handle ten thousand simultaneous players
Top Chat: Maybe MMORPGs could, but even raid bosses would melt in seconds under that
Top Chat: Overwhelming numbers OP
Top Chat: So, what’s the actual content?
"It’s a slightly unusual werewolf game."
"Werewolf game?"
Top Chat: You know, the one where werewolves kill villagers at night, and during the day the villagers discuss, vote, and execute the suspected werewolves
Top Chat: The win condition is whether all the werewolves die first or all the villagers do
Top Chat: Pretty famous game
Top Chat: Did they make it into a board game?
"No, it’s a game you play on PC or smartphone. It doesn’t work face-to-face."
"About five thousand players okay?"
"Definitely impossible."
Top Chat: Elf-san lmaooo
Top Chat: With that many, there’d be like a thousand werewolves mixed in
Top Chat: And about five hundred fortune-tellers
Top Chat: Plus countless madmen
Top Chat: At that point, just destroy the village entirely. No, really, destroy it
Top Chat: It’s supposed to be a small-group game lol
"It’s meant to be played with around eight people, apparently."
"Then I’ll make lots of lottery slips."
Top Chat: Elf-san lol
Top Chat: You can let that go!
Top Chat: Just drawing slips would take all day
Top Chat: Forget us, invite the whole 2.5D crew!
Top Chat: Yeah, that’s the move
"That okay?"
"Ah, as Iron Cardboard, that’d make us really happy. The appearance fee isn’t that high, but it’s about this much per person…"
"Segai-kun, confirm later with the talents."
"Yes, President."
Top Chat: 2.5D box collab incoming
Top Chat: Rented the venue and a collab fell into their lap
Top Chat: President, big win?
Top Chat: Yep, living earnestly really is the correct path
Top Chat: What about Elf?
Top Chat: Live earnestly too!
"But why?"
Top Chat: It’s not that Elf-san lives un-earnestly, but she’s not exactly a “serious creature” either
Top Chat: True that
Top Chat: Japanese is hard
"So then, since we’re here, let me show you the game screen while I explain the rules for the streamer."
"Mm."
Top Chat: Time for study
Top Chat: Should we really let Elf-san learn things?
Top Chat: Well, it’s not versus AI, it’s deception against people, so it’s fine
Top Chat: With five hundred fortune-tellers, she’d have it in the bag anyway
Top Chat: The five-thousand-player village returns
Top Chat: If it meets the requirements for a real town’s population, that’s no longer a village
Top Chat: Hm? What’s the Iron Cardboard person looking for?
"Where’d I put my bag? White, with pink and a bit of red."
"I don’t see it anywhere."
"…Excuse me, may I call the office to check?"
Top Chat: Haven’t seen a white-pink-red bag around here
Top Chat: She totally forgot it
"Hello, this is Kagahara. Chief—ah, yes. You were watching? Oh, wow…"
Top Chat: Lightning bolt just struck
Top Chat: She bowed so hard lol
Top Chat: She even turned toward the camera to bow again lmaoo
"Ah, Chief. Then, could you send it over the net—kidding! Kidding! I know it’s confidential! Not out yet! I get it! Yes, sir!"
Top Chat: Lightning strike #2 lol
Top Chat: Aha, so she’s the type who blurts things out and gets burned
Top Chat: Clearly not the kind of person usually sent for negotiations
"…Turns out it was at the office. I’ll go back and get it."
Top Chat: Good work
Top Chat: At least she didn’t actually lose it, that’s a relief
