Chapter 165: Silencing the Elf
"I'm reporting as Shuten Youji the Drunk Loli. The Elf killed the first victim."
"Youki killed the first victim."
The exploration phase ended, and when everyone was gathered in the hall, the very first words were more or less what they expected.
Top Chat: So it’s a showdown.
Top Chat: Well, figures.
"I'm the fortune-teller. Anyone counter-claiming?"
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan’s coming out as fortune-teller.
Top Chat: No hands raised.
Top Chat: That makes Kirishi-tan the sole fortune-teller.
Top Chat: Looks like the madman’s biding their time.
Top Chat: No medium either.
"Since my innocence is pretty much confirmed, I’ll take charge. You two, report in detail."
"Very well. While I was patrolling near the first victim’s quarters, the Elf ran straight up, killed the first victim, then fled."
"When I checked the cabins, I saw Youki kill the first victim, so I ran away."
Top Chat: Both testimonies are short.
Top Chat: No depth.
Top Chat: No flavor.
Top Chat: What is this, cooking?
"Did anyone see the killings?"
"The one patrolling with me was Misora’s staff…"
"Sorry, I didn’t see the exact moment of the killing. But I was nearby, so I witnessed both of them. I can testify it was one of the two. As for suspicious behavior, it was the Elf."
"What do you mean, suspicious behavior?"
"I saw them approaching the scene going 'Gaoo—'."
"…That’s past suspicious and straight-up shady."
The rest weren’t nearby, nor were they monitoring each other.
Top Chat: Calling them shady, lmao.
Top Chat: But there’s no decisive proof.
Top Chat: So then…
"I’ll use divination. Target is the Elf."
Top Chat: Hmm, figures.
Top Chat: When there’s specific testimony, suspicion’s unavoidable.
Top Chat: Since it’s already down to two, even if she misses, just hang the other next. That’s huge.
Top Chat: Honestly, this is looking pretty bad for the werewolves…
"Result’s out. The Elf is—black! The werewolf is the Elf!"
"Wahaha! Just as I said!"
Top Chat: So no route where Kirishi-tan defends the Elf.
Top Chat: It’s over.
Top Chat: What was Elf-san even aiming for?
"Yeah, I’d like to know that too. Elf, give it up and tell us what your plan was."
"…"
"…Elf?"
Top Chat: Hm?
Top Chat: They’re flailing around.
Top Chat: What are they doing?
Top Chat: Dancing?
Top Chat: Wait! Are they going to blind everyone and flip the tables!?
Top Chat: No way, that’s not allowed… right?
Top Chat: Ever consider maybe it’s just a dance emote?
"I sealed them. It’d be troublesome if the Elf started arguing."
Top Chat: Ah, special item.
Top Chat: Now it’s really over.
Top Chat: Did you really have to go that far?
"I did. I don’t believe the Elf charged in without a plan."
Top Chat: The weight of words from Elf-san’s latest victim.
Top Chat: Latest victim, lol.
Top Chat: Well, no matter the scheme, if they can’t talk, that’s the end of it.
Top Chat: Let’s just look forward to Elf-san next round.
Despite their protests, the Elf was voted out by everyone except Youki and died.
Top Chat: Ahhh… Elf-saaaan…
Top Chat: They’re gone…
Top Chat: And this was a collab stream, too.
Top Chat: For real.
Top Chat: Lowkey, might be the biggest broadcast accident so far, lol.
『I-I’m coming out as medium! Ah, Kyoka here. Oh wait, no. Uh, I’m the Siren!』
Right at the start of the next exploration phase, the announcement was made across the voice tube.
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan, calm down, lol.
Top Chat: It’s fine, lots of strangers around.
Top Chat: “Strangers” (coworkers she’s known for over a year).
Top Chat: lmao.
『Medium result: Onii-chan is—white!』
Top Chat: …Eh?
Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: What?
Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: Wait, is this… a madman?
Top Chat: Oh, right. The madman’s still alive.
Top Chat: So this whole dead-serious act was a performance!?
Top Chat: Wow, got played.
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan, nice!
"That’s wrong."
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: Wait?
Top Chat: Just now… was that Elf-san’s voice?
Top Chat: Also, whose POV is this camera following?
"Shuten Youji-senpai!"
"Oho, Kirishi-tan. The madman has been smoked out."
"Yes. Siren gave a medium result of white for the Elf I and Shuten Youji-senpai both called black… that confirms they’re on the werewolf side."
"Kirishi-tan, what course of action do you see fit?"
"At the very least, we can trust each other as villagers. Let’s move together. That way, if a werewolf attacks, we can expose them for sure."
"That’s good. I’ll adopt it!"
Top Chat: Eh? Eh? Eh??
Ignoring the doubts filling chat, the game moved into its mid-phase.
