Chapter 157: "Eeeh...?"
"Alright."
Right side clear, left side clear. I slipped out from cover and rushed over to the item box.
Top Chat: sneaky sneaky
Top Chat: playing it careful like an elf
Top Chat: not grabbing the item near the stairs?
"Because the atrium leaves things too exposed."
Top Chat: thorough
Top Chat: hmm, I feel like it’d be fine just a little bit though...
"I don’t take big risks."
Top Chat: haeeh
Top Chat: honestly surprised she’s switching her thinking more properly than I expected
Top Chat: true that
Top Chat: Elf-san knows how to hold back
"Mhm."
Top Chat: oh?
Top Chat: she stopped
Top Chat: Elf-san?
Top Chat: what’s wrong?
"How many werewolves are there?"
"Two. ...Wait, didn’t I mention that?"
Top Chat: you didn’t
Top Chat: we thought you’d explain when the game started, but nope
"Alright."
Top Chat: eh, you’re gonna grab the item by the stairs?
Top Chat: she’s sprinting down the stairs lol
Top Chat: where did all that caution go in just ten seconds lol
"Can the voice pipe downstairs still be used?"
"Eh, ah—... probably, I think!"
"Who can it reach?"
"Everyone, including people not nearby! Probably, at least!"
Top Chat: please remember details better next time
Top Chat: wait, do modern ships even have voice pipes?
Top Chat: some older warships do
Top Chat: even the JMSDF’s Asagiri-class destroyers should still be active
Top Chat: so, what are you gonna announce?
"I’ll tell them the werewolves lost their means of attack."
Top Chat: eh
Top Chat: huh?
Top Chat: why do you think that?
"About two and a half minutes ago, and again around fifty seconds ago, the gauge stopped rising—and hasn’t moved since."
In other words, two players died in those two moments, and at the same time, the two werewolves used up their attack rights. That means moving boldly now is no longer dangerous.
Top Chat: ...you actually noticed that?
Top Chat: nah, I haven’t been watching the gauge that closely
Top Chat: even if I did, I wouldn’t catch that for sure
Top Chat: but if that’s the case, we should confirm who’s been in sight the whole past three minutes
Top Chat: ah, if it works out, the werewolves could be exposed all at once!
"I see."
I opened the voice pipe and started explaining.
Top Chat: still, Elf-san’s weird spec actually helps in deduction... feels strange
Top Chat: does it really help though?
Top Chat: I mean, isn’t she literally about to make it help?
Top Chat: nah, but others can’t verify it themselves
Top Chat: ah...
Top Chat: right, so this testimony is basically the same as saying "I saw the werewolf’s kill"
"That’s not allowed?"
Top Chat: no evidentiary value
Top Chat: if Elf-san were 100% confirmed villager, it’d be valuable, but
Top Chat: that’s not guaranteed
"I swear it’s true!"
Top Chat: I feel the persuasive power rising
Top Chat: lmao
Top Chat: kinda curious how the others are reacting right now
Top Chat: yeah, same
"Mhm."
Top Chat: oh?
Top Chat: now what?
"The gauge stopped rising."
Top Chat: okay, now we know exactly how the others reacted lol
