Chapter 147: Moving Avatar

"Back to the topic—Elf doesn’t need an avatar, right? Even if you had one, it would only throw you off."

"Really?"

Top Chat: Yep
Top Chat: I think so too
Top Chat: If it’s just a standing illustration, we could whip one up, but do you need that?
Top Chat: Nope
Top Chat: Don’t need it
Top Chat: We want to see Elf-san’s face
Top Chat: And the ears

"Ears."

Top Chat: Wiggle wiggle
Top Chat: Even one moves on its own
Top Chat: Yeah, this is what we came for!
Top Chat: Exactly!

"So I’m the only one banned from avatars?"

"No, there’s someone else who’s all natural too."

Top Chat: Who?
Top Chat: Entarou maybe?
Top Chat: Even though he shows himself off all the time, technically Entarou uses an avatar on stream
Top Chat: lol nice wording

"The guy super confident in Elf."

"In other words, the president."

Top Chat: The Elf-confident president enters the fray
Top Chat: He looked bummed yesterday when he couldn’t hang out with Elf-san, and now this lol
Top Chat: Pulling rank!
Top Chat: Abuse of power!
Top Chat: Conditional branching!
Top Chat: …Not that last one

"Well, originally Segai-san was supposed to do it. Since Iron Cardboard requested it, we’d decided from the start that it’d be an eight-player match."

Top Chat: The secretary?
Top Chat: Then why’d it turn into Elf-Confidence Guy?

"Because Elf suggested it."

"To balance the gender ratio."

Top Chat: Gender ratio
Top Chat: Eight players means the Reverse God staff are in too, so let’s see…
Top Chat: Males: Entarou, staff, Elf-Confidence Guy
Top Chat: Females: Elf-san, Kirishi-tan, Reverse God, Kyōka-chan, Youki
Top Chat: Not a bad balance

"I’m a guy, you know?"

Top Chat: Yep
Top Chat: We knew you’d say that lol
Top Chat: That’s why we lined it up for you

"Also, Segai-san wasn’t really keen on joining."

Top Chat: Oh, that’s a shame
Top Chat: Rare secretary slot wasted
Top Chat: Maybe just not suited for streaming?

"She’s apparently not good with deduction games."

Top Chat:
Top Chat:
Top Chat:
Top Chat:
Top Chat:

"Stream broke?"

"No, I doubt it."

Top Chat: Just too stunned…
Top Chat: Our consciousness got blown into orbit
Top Chat: Wait, that super cool secretary’s bad at thinking games?

"That’s a bit misleading. She’s not very good at talking with people."

Top Chat: Ah, yeah, deduction games need you to share your thoughts
Top Chat: You can’t just arrive at the right answer on your own
Top Chat: Makes sense

"What do you mean?"

Top Chat: Even if Elf-san alone reaches the correct conclusion, you can’t win if nobody else supports you
Top Chat: And the reverse is true too—hiding parts of the truth or lying to mislead the enemy is also important
Top Chat: So in other words, deduction games require both reasoning skills and communication skills
Top Chat: Do you understand?

"Got it."

Top Chat: Nice reply, Elf
Top Chat: Then say what you understood

"Give me an avatar with moving ears."

Top Chat: Close but not it lol
Top Chat: Elf-san attaching motion-capture sensors to her ears
Top Chat: Ear muscle training program?
