Chapter 179: Complicated Feelings
"Can you do voice impressions?"
"What kind of sudden question is that?"
"I, the great me, can’t!"
"Did anyone expect Entarou to pull it off?"
"Can’t you phrase that a little nicer!?"
At the nearest stairwell, Youki and Entarou were waiting.
Top Chat: For some reason, Entarou always gets treated roughly by Elf-san
Top Chat: Well, it’s Entarou
Top Chat: Even his fans think big bro’s just meant to be teased
Top Chat: What feelings do Entarou’s fans have toward him, anyway?
Top Chat: lol
"Hm. Doesn’t look like anyone else is coming."
"So it’s just us three… Still, three is better than nothing."
"Indeed."
"Why’s three special?"
"Because if one of us were a werewolf, they couldn’t kill."
Top Chat: How so?
Top Chat: Remember, there’s a limit to how many the wolves can kill
Top Chat: If three or more are together, at least one survivor can report who the wolf was
Top Chat: They could all get hit by an area attack, but that’d be way too sloppy
Top Chat: So three people’s a reasonably safe number
"Hmm."
"What’s wrong, Elf? You uneasy with three?"
"Entarou, didn’t you claim fortune-teller?"
"Yeah! I’m the great seer who’s gonna snag MVP with a big performance!"
"So, you’re a madman?"
"Why the hell!?"
Top Chat: pfft
Top Chat: Just seeing big bro have this much convo with girls is moving me to tears!
Top Chat: What feelings do Entarou’s fans really have toward him?
Top Chat: lololol
"Let’s say Entarou’s the madman, and either me or Youki is the werewolf."
"Yeah?"
"If that’s the case, then if Entarou came out as madman, that would effectively remove a villager."
The fortune-teller claims had come from Entarou and the Staff, meaning one of them had to be the madman.
If Entarou had claimed madman right here, then I could kill Youki, and Entarou and I could simply agree to say, "We never met Youki."
That way, there’d be no testimony, and Youki could be eliminated.
Top Chat: Now that you mention it…
Top Chat: From Entarou’s perspective, there’s a 50% chance either Elf-san or the loli is the wolf
Top Chat: Wait… that’s actually kind of dangerous, huh?
"But what if neither I nor Elf is the wolf?"
"Losing even one villager is a big deal."
"Still, that’d be too reckless. He’s not the kind of guy with that much guts."
"Wait, am I being called small fry!?"
Top Chat: loli lol
Top Chat: Big bro… I guess this is good news…?
Top Chat: …Is it though?
Top Chat: Wait, does the loli actually have some connection with Entarou?
Top Chat: He did briefly mention it before
Top Chat: Something like, "That demon loli senpai helped me set up my arcade cabinet."
Top Chat: Oh yeah, she hooked up Elf-san’s console to the TV this morning too
Top Chat: Unexpectedly tech-savvy loli?
"We’ve wasted enough time talking. Let’s hurry and gather items around the stairwell."
"Mm."
Top Chat: Aww, if only it weren’t three people together right now…
Top Chat: If it was just two…
Top Chat: If it was just the loli and someone else…
Top Chat: You could’ve messed with her…
Top Chat: Kill her
Top Chat: Which one?
Top Chat: Either way, now that they can’t move freely, this search phase is kinda wasted
"Not really."
Top Chat: Oh?
Top Chat: Did something happen?
"—We just confirmed Entarou’s the real fortune-teller, didn’t we?"
Top Chat: …Eh?
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: Whaaat!?
Top Chat: Why do you think that?
"Because I laid out the advantage, and he still didn’t claim madman."
Top Chat: Well yeah, it’d be tasty if it worked, but…
Top Chat: Even a madman might think the risk wasn’t worth it, right?
"No. For Entarou in particular, the risk is small."
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: What do you mean?
"No matter which side wins, Entarou can’t take the championship. But if he plays big in this game, he can still grab MVP."
Top Chat: Ahh, I see
Top Chat: It’s still a gamble, but even if he fails, he loses nothing
Top Chat: And if it works, MVP gets way closer
Top Chat: That’s way better odds than just leaving things to chance
Top Chat: Now it just comes down to whether he’s bold enough to take that gamble…
"Youki might doubt him, but Entarou’s got more guts than you’d think."
Top Chat: Elf-san actually praising Entarou
Top Chat: He’d be over the moon if he heard that
Top Chat: Maybe a little too much over the moon though
Top Chat: Again I ask… what feelings do Entarou’s fans really have toward him?
