Chapter 182: Suspicious Elf-san
"Elf-san is suspicious… extremely suspicious, so suspicious I can’t ignore it… but since there was no decisive action beyond that, I once again call for everyone to abstain from voting."
Top Chat: Confident Niki President lol
Top Chat: He’s so hung up on Elf it’s hilarious
And so, for the fourth voting phase, Confident Niki once again chose abstention.
Top Chat: I mean yeah, no wonder he’s hung up on that.
Top Chat: She was suspicious as hell.
Top Chat: Today’s Elf-san stalling tactics
Top Chat: · I want to buy juice from a vending machine
Top Chat: · I want to try jumping over a crack in the ship
Top Chat: · I need to turn off the gas valve
Top Chat: · I want to count the number of steps on the stairs
Top Chat: · I saw a bloodstained woman in the mirror
Top Chat: …Why did the last one suddenly turn into horror?
Top Chat: Counting stairs is already kinda horror.
Top Chat: One step is missing—aaahhh!
Top Chat: Wrong kind of horror.
"President. If she’s that suspicious, I think we ought to hang Elf."
"No. With just one or two more rounds of exploration, we villagers can achieve victory. Preserving the current situation is more important."
Top Chat: Whoa, they’ve already gathered that many escape items?
Top Chat: Well, they’ve been searching as a group of seven this whole time.
In this game, one way to win is to escape. If the villagers gather enough items, they achieve victory.
Top Chat: Still, I’m surprised they’re not hanging Elf-san.
Top Chat: Victory is so close, yet they’re leaving such a risk unaddressed. Why?
"Because Confident Niki is wary of everyone."
Top Chat: Oh?
Top Chat: Elf-san?
Top Chat: You already said that before—what does it matter now?
"If he proposed, ‘Let’s hang Elf,’ it could split the group’s opinions, and that would risk breaking up the crucial formations."
Top Chat: Ahh, I see.
Top Chat: If he were a werewolf, he’d want an excuse to disband the group.
Top Chat: Just two people changing their minds could flip the majority.
Top Chat: When things are going smoothly, even changing the state itself becomes risky.
Top Chat: Though I feel like they’re underestimating the risk of leaving Elf-san unchecked…
"Let’s hear Elf-san’s opinion too. What do you think?"
"Next time, I’ll do my best."
"…That sounded a lot like a murder confession to me."
Top Chat: That’s because it was a murder confession.
Top Chat: (Murder spree incoming) “I’ll do my best!”
Top Chat: Scary.
Top Chat: Run! Run!
Top Chat: Escape is futile. I repeat, escape is futile.
Top Chat: I’m right behind you, so escape is futile.
Top Chat: Creepy.
Top Chat: Something weird snuck into chat.
"I’ll cast my vote for Elf as well."
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan!
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan enters the fray!
Top Chat: Fighting for the title of main wife!
Top Chat: …No, that’s not it.
"May I ask your reason?"
"…Honestly, I couldn’t come up with a way for the werewolves to turn this situation around."
Top Chat: Yeah, of course.
Top Chat: Even we, who know Elf-san is a werewolf, can’t come up with one.
"—But with Elf, I just can’t be sure."
Top Chat: Oof.
Top Chat: Yeah, that’s true.
"So that’s why I’ll vote for Elf. I’m going for the win."
Top Chat: A preemptive elimination of Elf, huh.
Top Chat: Makes sense, and it’s convincing.
Top Chat: That’s two votes now. How many are needed to pass?
Top Chat: At least three.
Top Chat: No way, is this actually going to pass?
"It won’t."
Top Chat: Why not?
"Because this proposal came from Yoki and Kirishi-tan."
The same reasoning as before was enough to draw opposition.
"I, Misora, oppose this!"
"And I oppose it too!"
Top Chat: Ahhh, right.
Top Chat: From the MVP-chasers’ perspective, there’s no way they’d cast a third-rate “me too” vote.
Top Chat: Which leaves… the Madman staff?
"I oppose it as well."
Misora’s staff smiled brightly as he said that.
Top Chat: Ah, that’s the look of someone who knows Elf-san is a werewolf.
Top Chat: As expected of the vice-captain.
Top Chat: Bold of him, considering if Elf-san can’t pull it off, they lose.
"You’ll regret this… probably."
Not that I meant to fulfill her “prophecy,” but—
"Raaawr!"
"I knew it! I knew you’d come! Why did you come after me?!"
Top Chat: Contradiction!
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan blowing up with pure emotion—I love it.
Top Chat: The lamb feels the same way.
When the next exploration phase began, I lunged straight at Kirishi-tan.
