Chapter 160: Way of Life
"What’s fortune-telling?"
Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: Well, Elf-san’s a complete beginner after all
Top Chat: Ahh
Top Chat: The fortune-teller can check whether a specific person is a werewolf or not
"What about the madman?"
Top Chat: They’ll be judged as "not a werewolf"
Top Chat: It’s not "werewolf side or not," but "werewolf or not"
"What about Elf?"
Top Chat: That’s not a role
Top Chat: More like… a way of life!
Top Chat: Pretty sure that’s wrong
"Alright, supplement coming in from Iron Cardboard! In Exodus, fortune-telling is something the fortune-teller can perform once, at any timing they choose. Same goes for the medium!"
Top Chat: Ohh, that’s how it is
Top Chat: Being able to choose the timing is strong
Top Chat: Yeah, using it after sharing info is definitely useful
"What’s a medium?"
Top Chat: It’s an ability the medium can use, letting them determine whether a dead person was a werewolf or not
Top Chat: The difference from the fortune-teller is whether the target is alive or dead
"Who’s the medium?"
She asked, but there was no response.
"Is it Kyouka?"
"Not necessarily. Revealing it now doesn’t have much benefit."
"Kirishi-tan."
"Roles on the villagers’ side can create clues to identify the werewolves. That’s why they get targeted first by the werewolves."
Top Chat: So basically, staying hidden is one strategy
Top Chat: Especially in a situation like this, it’s better to stay concealed
"What kind of situation?"
"When there are multiple fortune-tellers, and it’s unclear which one is real."
"Why?"
"Because we’re about to vote. The candidates are either Drunk Loli-senpai, who got marked as black by a fortune-teller, or the President. Once one of them is executed through the vote, the medium’s result will reveal which fortune-teller is genuine."
Top Chat: How does that work?
Top Chat: For example, if the loli gets hanged—
Top Chat: Medium result ◯ → Reverse God lied, so they’re on the werewolf side, meaning Staff is the true fortune-teller
Top Chat: Medium result ● → Reverse God told the truth, so likely villager side, and Staff is probably werewolf side
Top Chat: Why only "probably" in the second case?
Top Chat: Because there’s a chance the madman Staff got lucky with a random guess
"If there’s no more info, I’d rather hurry up and vote."
"I ran into Entarou after using the voice pipe, but he wasn’t really searching for items."
"I gathered items in the early game, then shifted to prioritizing people in the later half."
After parting ways with Entarou, I retraced the route he came from. Sure enough, not just the side paths—even items left right on the corridors hadn’t been touched.
"I saw Homura Entarou-senpai earlier. At that time, he was gathering items near the central atrium, so I don’t think it was a complete lie."
Top Chat: Oh, Kirishi-tan defending Entarou
Top Chat: I thought Entarou skipping item gathering meant he was on the werewolf side, but maybe not?
Top Chat: Can’t tell!
Top Chat: The only thing I figured out is that Elf-san’s ears twitch when she listens in
Top Chat: Wait, really?
Top Chat: Hold up, that’s a hundred times more important than Entarou’s innocence
"Can you treat me with a little more importance!?"
"Elf Expert, how did you dodge Youki’s attack?"
Top Chat: Love how Entarou gets handled so roughly by Elf-san
Top Chat: Same here
"It wasn’t that I intended to dodge. There just happened to be a step inside the room, so Drunk Loli’s attack passed over my head."
"Was it a bite? Or claws?"
"Claws. It was an area attack. I was certain I’d be killed, but I got lucky."
Top Chat: Makes sense
Top Chat: Time’s about up
Top Chat: So, who are we voting for?
"This is where not having the medium reveal themselves is a disadvantage… the werewolves get a slight edge in consolidating votes."
"So what do we do?"
"I say free vote."
"I agree."
"As one of the suspected fake fortune-tellers, I’ll follow the decision."
"Same here, though I hope you’ll believe me."
"As a suspected werewolf, I hardly have the right to speak."
"Same for me, I reckon. Though I will say, the President’s spouting big lies."
Top Chat: Sounds like free vote it is
Top Chat: No time to hash out details anyway
Top Chat: Neither the fake fortune-teller suspects nor the werewolf suspects get restrictions
"What about Elf’s suspects?"
Top Chat: That’s not a role
Top Chat: Suspect means—
