Chapter 180: Elf-san’s Proposal

"Oh. So everyone’s gathered."

"There was no murder. That counts as a success, I’d say."

The second voting phase began. Since I hadn’t killed anyone, everyone was present except Kyōka.

Top Chat: Honestly, Elf’s confident-guy strat really worked
Top Chat: Just that loose mutual watch made kills impossible
Top Chat: Wolves could’ve killed, but no way they’d talk themselves out of it
Top Chat: If it was two people alone or if Entarou was the madman, it could’ve worked
Top Chat: Bad luck this round

"So then, CEO, you plan to continue this strategy?"

"I think we should… but perhaps it lacks excitement?"

"That’s fine. Games become dramatic because we give them everything we’ve got."

Top Chat: Smells like an RTA junkie talking!
Top Chat: It’s cheesy but my soul gets it so I’m done for
Top Chat: Staged drama is fine too, but save that for another time
Top Chat: Besides, like Elf-san would ever let things play out smoothly lol

"I have a proposal."

"Elf-san, what is it?"

"From now on, let’s split into two groups. Put both fortune-tellers into the four-person group."

"Hmm…"

"That way, each group will always have at least two villagers."

Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: So, one of the fortune-tellers is a madman, but they’ll be in the four-person group
Top Chat: Even if a wolf’s mixed in, the group will be Wolf–Madman–Seer–Villager, meaning two safe villagers
Top Chat: In the three-person group, no madman, so at worst Wolf–Villager–Villager
Top Chat: Perfect
Top Chat: It’s like an upgraded version of Elf’s confident-guy strat
Top Chat: But wait, doesn’t that mean…

"Oh-ho. This is strong. If laid out properly, wolves will be cornered. I support this."

Top Chat: Isn’t this proposal super unfavorable to wolves?

"…Indeed, I feel the same."

"But if it works, I might just get MVP votes."

"…Rationally speaking, I agree."

Top Chat: CEO’s actually siding with Elf-san?
Top Chat: Suspicious?
Top Chat: Could this be… the ‘caution’ thing?
Top Chat: Ohhh, maybe that’s it!
Top Chat: To block the best move, Elf-san suggested the best move herself!?
Top Chat: Totally possible!

"CEO, I think it’s fine."

"I’m in too!"

"I also agree."

Once Kirishi-tan voiced support, Entarou and the Misora staff followed. But then—

"I oppose it!"

Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: Reverse God?

"And why?"

"Because Elf-san suggested it!"

Top Chat: lmao
Top Chat: Pure gut feeling
Top Chat: Not even logic
Top Chat: Still, funny to see the Reverse God siblings split like this
Top Chat: So what’s confident-guy CEO’s verdict?

"…I want to adopt Elf-san’s proposal. I also request Misora comply."

"Hold on! CEO-san, you’re confirmed villager-side as medium, but you don’t actually have decision-making power."

"Correct."

"Then I can act as I please, right?"

"I’d rather we keep in step. If Misora roams freely and happens to be a wolf, the grouping loses all meaning."

"That’s…"

Top Chat: Oho?
Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: CEO actually went with Elf’s proposal
Top Chat: Isn’t that the exact opposite of ‘caution’?

"CEO wasn’t just wary of me."

Top Chat: Eh?
Top Chat: He wasn’t?

"CEO was wary of everything. That’s why he distrusted my proposal. But in the end, CEO always falls back on logic. So he shut down Misora’s objection and chose mine."

Top Chat: I see…
Top Chat: Did Elf-san just flat-out declare CEO always relies on logic lol
Top Chat: Then what was Reverse God even doing?

"Misora chose to go straight toward her goal."

Top Chat: Goal?

"MVP. She’s already thrown victory aside."

Top Chat: Damn, bold move
Top Chat: Yeah… very Reverse God-like

"That’s why she’ll oppose any ‘too strong’ proposal. Villager or wolf side doesn’t matter—Misora just goes straight for MVP."

Top Chat: Wait wait wait
Top Chat: This Elf is crazy!
Top Chat: How far ahead is she reading!?

"Oh, time to vote."

Top Chat: Oi, don’t dodge the question!
Top Chat: Answer us!

Since no strong wolf candidate emerged, all votes ended up abstained.
And so, the second voting phase closed without a single lynching.
