Chapter 159: The Fortune-Teller Siblings
"That’s the end of day one’s exploration—thanks for your hard work, everyone! Don don pafu pafu!"
Top Chat: don-pafu
Top Chat: oh, so that’s what happens when the time runs out
After parting ways with Entarou, I tried to balance item-hunting and people-hunting, but ended up meeting no one.
And then, as the timer hit zero, all of us players were gathered back into the first hall. Well, not all of us...
"Kyoka’s missing."
Top Chat: gyaah! Kyoka-chan’s really not here!
Top Chat: uwaaaahhh
Top Chat: our 2.5D healing rep (new recruit) is gone!
"Late?"
"No. She’s been killed!"
"The rest are alive?"
"Yes. ...Which means Elf’s voice-pipe announcement wasn’t accurate. There’s only been one death so far."
Top Chat: so Kirishi-tan’s alive
Top Chat: the 2.5D tsukkomi rep (veteran)!
Top Chat: so the Loli’s the new recruit?
"Hmm, why does this chat feel exactly like Elf’s chat...?"
"Ah, you’re right! Looks like the chats merge when we’re in the hall!"
Top Chat: hooh
Top Chat: so right now, the loli can see our comments
Top Chat: lewd!
"There’s nothing lewd about it!"
"Riku-kun, now that I see it, each streamer’s chat really does have its own personality, huh."
"Yes. A chat that isn’t screaming for Misora’s shrieks every second feels very unnatural to me."
"Our viewers aren’t that sadistic, okay!?"
Top Chat: so Reverse God and Staff survived too
Top Chat: “aren’t that sadistic,” huh...
Top Chat: and the rest are alive as well
"I’m alive, and so is the President!"
"Confirmed alive."
Top Chat: but if we only have survival reports at this point...
"No one saw Kyoka?"
Top Chat: looks like it
Top Chat: yeah, figures
Top Chat: sounds like a silent kill
"Not exactly a replacement, but I have something to report."
"Elf confidence Niki."
"I was attacked by Drunk Loli. She’s a werewolf."
Top Chat: ohhh
Top Chat: loli-werewolf theory rising!
"The attack happened in a forward cabin, about a minute before Elf-san used the voice pipe, if I recall."
"I don’t know anything about that. I haven’t even met the President."
"Then, did anyone see her at that time?"
"Let me ask in return: did anyone see the President at that time?"
Top Chat: here we go
Top Chat: if there’s a witness, things could move fast...
"I didn’t."
"Neither did I."
"I don’t know either."
"I haven’t seen them."
"Same here."
Top Chat: so no one saw the attack
Top Chat: figured
Top Chat: alright, then the next move is...
"Yes. CO. I, Misora, am the fortune-teller."
"CO... what’s that?"
Top Chat: short for “coming out”
Top Chat: in werewolf games, it’s when you reveal your role
Top Chat: so, naturally, who did she divine...?
"I divined Drunk loli, and the result was: werewolf."
"CO as well. I’m the real fortune-teller. I divined the President, and the result was also werewolf."
Top Chat: the Staff is counter-claiming
Top Chat: and also giving a black result
"So if we just beat Youki and the President, we win?"
Top Chat: don’t think so
Top Chat: remember, one of the two fortune-tellers has to be fake
Top Chat: hey, Steel Cardboard Guy?
"Ah, yes. There can only be one fortune-teller, so at least one of them is fake!"
"Fake."
"Yes, fake!"
"Why would a fake even show up?"
Top Chat: because the werewolf side wants to delay being discovered
Top Chat: they lie about their role so villagers have a harder time deducing
Top Chat: that’s usually the job of the madman
Top Chat: unlike werewolves, the madman’s death doesn’t affect their side’s win, so they can take risky, flashy positions
"Then, I have a question for Riku-senpai. Why didn’t you divine Loli-senpai? Wasn’t the whole discussion just now about whether she’s black or white?"
"Kirishi-tan-san, you’re absolutely right. However, the speed with which fake-fortune-teller Misora gave a black result suggested she had some certainty that Drunk Loli was actually white. That leaves two options: Misora is a madman who secretly contacted the werewolves, or she’s a werewolf herself. But given how short the initial exploration was, a madman making contact with the wolves that quickly is unlikely. Meaning, from my perspective, Misora and the President are the werewolves. That’s why I divined the President to prove it."
Top Chat: someone summarize
Top Chat: okay, here’s the breakdown assuming Staff is the real fortune-teller:
Top Chat: ・Werewolves know each other, but madmen don’t
Top Chat: ・So in the short first round, madmen and wolves wouldn’t have time to coordinate
Top Chat: ・That means Reverse God giving a black result right away makes them a werewolf
Top Chat: ・And Elf confidence Niki the President trying to mark the loli as black is also a werewolf
Top Chat: ・To confirm that, Staff divined the President
