I have a life simulator.

"Um... can you hear me?"

The specially processed voice in the headphones was completely unrecognizable, but it wasn't the harsh, rigid electronic sound. Perhaps considering the importance of emotions in the Werewolf game, the voice processed by the school had a fairly obvious emotional fluctuation.

The werewolf teammate who is speaking now is in a relatively positive mood, and you can't hear any nervousness from him after being chosen as a werewolf.

After all, in this game, the werewolf team only has three members, and they also have to consider the possibility that a teammate might be chosen by Cupid as a lover and betray the werewolves to become a third-party team. Compared to the large number of good guys, winning the game is undoubtedly very difficult.

However, having fewer people also has its advantages. If the three werewolves win, each of them can get a total of 26 million personal points.

"can."

Another werewolf responded first, with Hiyori Shiina speaking into her microphone:

"I can hear you."

"Well, this board is not very friendly to the werewolf faction, so unless it is absolutely necessary or you are 100% sure, it is best not to pretend to be a god, because there are too few werewolves, and even if you trade one for one with a good person, you can't afford it."

The first person to speak seemed to know a lot about the rules of the Werewolf game, and his tone was convincing.

"When you speak tomorrow morning, pay attention to potential clergy members. It would be great if you could find a prophet or a witch."

"By the way, none of us here were chosen as couples, right?"

The sudden question caught Shiina Hiyori and the other person completely off guard, and they instinctively answered:

"No."

"No."

"That's good. I'm not in a relationship either. It seems that both parties in this relationship are good people. Sigh, this is going to be tough, because Cupid will also be classified as a good guy."

"In tomorrow's speech, everyone should try to evoke malice towards the couple. Because of the special winning mechanism of the third party, the good guys should be very wary before it is determined who the couple is. After all, no one wants to do the work for someone else."

Hearing this person's reasoned, well-founded, and clear statement, Shiina Hiyori nodded in agreement, indicating that her teammates this time were quite capable.

"Logically speaking, the witch who kills people should be saved on the first night. After all, the good guys are also afraid of being blindly killed by the priests. Everyone should just choose to kill someone randomly."

Unlike traditional Werewolf games, where the majority rule applies when werewolves disagree on who to attack and if the number of attacks differs, the system will randomly select an opponent. However, in this game, if the werewolves attack different targets, the attack will be canceled.

This also gives the werewolf chosen as a couple a chance to save himself, since if the werewolf blindly kills his partner on the first night, he would have to die on the spot.

However, this is only a short-sighted opportunity, because if disagreements arise, you will be suspected by other werewolves of betraying the organization, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

"How's player number 10 doing?"

Hiyori Shiina randomly picked a target, and the other two readily agreed.

It's important to note that during the first day of the game, there will be a sheriff election. If a player dies the previous night, the judge will announce their death and remove them from the game only after the sheriff is successfully elected.

-------------------------------------

"It seems everyone really wants to speak."

Honami Ichinose stretched and slumped onto the table, looking dejected, waiting for the other players to speak.

"I'm still a little nervous, as expected."

The girl muttered to herself, after all, this game brought together the elites from all the classes, and with the allure of a prize pool of 80 million points, everyone wanted to step forward and lead the way in order to pursue victory.

[Players will speak in reverse order, starting with player number 4]

Honami Ichinose's number is 9, so I calculated that she should be speaking in the middle of the segment.

This is a decent position. After all, the earlier you speak in the first round, the more disadvantaged you are. The later you speak, the more information you have and the more you can talk about.

[Player #4, please speak]

Honami Ichinose perked up, ready to listen to the first player's speech. There were only two contestants in Class 1-B, her and Ryuji Kanzaki, so winning would be quite difficult, and she should work even harder.

-------------------------------------

"Actually, the first player to speak has the hardest time."

Inside the cruise ship's cinema, the first-year students gathered there whispered amongst themselves as they watched the black portraits numbered one through twelve lined up on the screen.

"If you speak poorly, you are likely to be refuted by the players behind you, and then be labeled as a 'werewolf' and voted out directly."

Hashimoto Masayoshi remained as nonchalant as ever. After being gloomy for several days following the diarrhea incident on the deserted island, he had only recently regained his usual energy. Although he had heard he'd been given an unpleasant nickname, he could only pretend not to care.

"I wonder what number Her Highness is."

It wasn't until the game officially started today that the students of Class A learned that Katsuragi Kohei and Totsuka Yahiko had actually signed up. The most shocked were naturally the Sakayanagi faction, led by Hashimoto Masayoshi and Kamuro Masumi. After all, if these two could really perform well and win the game, the hard-won stability of Class A might be shaken up again.

"Sakayanagi will win."

Kamuro Masumi stood beside Hashimoto Masayoshi with her arms crossed, showing far more confidence in Sakayanagi Arisu than in Hashimoto Masayoshi.

"Well, I'll hope so."

Just as everyone was discussing this, player number 4 finally turned on the microphone and began to speak:

"Number 4, the single good guy, is not a prophet."

"Well, since I'm speaking first, let me give you all a heads-up."

"The werewolves and the good guys shouldn't fight too hard in the next few days, because that's Cupid's plan. It's most important to identify the lovers and the third party first."

"It would be best if there were no third party, then everyone could talk however they wanted."

"But if there is a third party, it would be best to find out the third party's camp first."

"Nobody wants their efforts to benefit someone else, so I think the good guys and the werewolves should reach a consensus on this point first."

"Time is running out, and since I'm the first to speak, I don't have much to say."

In conclusion—

Number 4's voice suddenly grew louder, filled with hatred and resentment:

"You can lose the game, but the third-party couple must vote out first!"

Chapter 46: I am a prophet

[Player #4 has finished speaking]

[Player #3, please speak]

"Oh? So it's my turn?"

After quite a while, Player 3 finally spoke, his tone unhurried and seemingly oblivious to the situation.

"To be honest, the identity assigned to me this time is really not suitable for me. How can someone as beautiful as me be just a commoner?"

As soon as Player 3 uttered this statement, almost everyone instantly recognized his identity.

Although the school has processed each player's voice, it is often difficult to eliminate long-standing verbal tics and language habits all at once.

This Werewolf game differs from the regular Werewolf game in that each player actually has a dual identity.

Real-life identity and in-game identity.

The former is almost as important as the latter. Imagine if Kitagawa Ryo accidentally revealed which player he was, both the good guys and the werewolves might unite to vote him out.

Therefore, everyone is carefully hiding their real identities, including player number 4 who just spoke, but player number 3 seems to have no such concerns at all.

【Kōenji Rokusuke】

The image of a blond boy who was one of the most eccentric people in the entire grade came to mind. Being unconventional was the impression most people had of him. However, they did not expect that even in this game of Werewolf, which involved a lot of people, the opponent's way of playing would be so special.

"what a pity!"

Koenji Rokusuke, whose identity had been guessed, was still lamenting:

"If I were a priest, the good guys would undoubtedly win."

"Looking back now, maybe it's because I'm too strong."

"but!"

"Even as a commoner, I, a beautiful woman, should do something."

"Let me tell you a few tips."

Seemingly realizing that he didn't have much time left to speak, Koenji Rokusuke finally toned it down a bit:

"First, Cupid players will definitely try to send messages to their chosen partner and take protective measures, because Cupid's victory largely depends on the partner."

-------------------------------------

Compared to his previous whimsical remarks, Koenji Rokusuke's sudden seriousness made the students in Class D feel a little uncomfortable. One of the girls asked in a low voice:

"Eh? Why?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple."

Yosuke Hirata, sitting in the front row, began to explain:

"If Cupid chooses a couple who are both good people, then Cupid is on the good side. If the couple is exposed, the werewolf can take them both down with one strike."

"If Cupid chooses a couple who are both werewolves, then Cupid is on the werewolf side. If the couple is exposed, the good guys can eliminate two werewolves at once."

"As for werewolf love, needless to say, Cupid, who forms a third-party alliance with the lovers... will definitely protect them."

He received praise such as "Hirata-kun is amazing", but Hirata Yosuke just smiled modestly. He was well aware of his own level. He could talk about things theoretically from the audience's perspective, but once he actually got involved, he might be easily confused and make wrong judgments.

"Kōenji was exposed too early. Class D's advantage of having one more person is basically gone."

Yukimura Teruhiko adjusted his glasses and commented.

"Trust the students in Class D."

Hirata Yosuke smiled and comforted.

He turned his gaze back to the screen, where Horikita Suzune, Karuizawa Megumi, Koenji Rokusuke... and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

【Ayanokouji Kiyotaka】

Hirata Yosuke pondered the name. After learning that the other party had secretly participated in the competition, the students of Class D felt uneasy. After all, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had always been an unknown figure in Class D, and no one knew whether he was good at this game or not.

However, Yosuke Hirata had a vague feeling that he might be the one to decide the outcome.

Rokusuke Koenji's speech continued:

"Second, Prophet, please feel free to jump out if you can understand what I mean."

"But—I hope you can speak thoughtfully."

The man's voice lowered, sounding both threatening and warning:

"After all, there might be a thief who chose the werewolf identity, and the card he buried was actually the Seer's card!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The hearty laughter had barely reached its halfway point when player number 3 had their microphone forcibly cut off because their speaking time was up.

[Player #3 has finished speaking]

[Player #1, please speak]

"Phew, it's my turn."

"First of all, like numbers 3 and 4, I am not a prophet; I am a single, good person."

After Rokusuke Koenji's riotous speech, Player 1, with his calm tone and clear voice, immediately won the audience's favor.

"Since only two people, numbers 3 and 4, have spoken before me, I'll start by sharing my own opinion."

"It's understandable that Player 4 didn't say much since they were the first to speak, especially since they pointed out the key third-party faction in this gameplay. I think they're pretty much a good person. Judging from Player 4's 'I hate couples' attitude, it's easy to get the impression that they're not in a couple."

"But maybe Number 4 is trying to use this reverse thinking to interfere with our judgment, so I won't rule out Number 4 from the couple list for now."

"After all, even good people can be lovers."

"As for number 3, although his speech was somewhat chaotic, overall he was analyzing the problem from the perspective of a good person."

"I never thought about the thief burying the seer before. It's good that number 3 was able to point it out. Although it's a low-probability event, you might just stumble upon it."

"Compared to number 4, I feel that number 3 is probably not a couple, because couples should be more low-key, since it's easy for both of them to die in childbirth. Number 3 is so high-profile, which doesn't seem like the behavior of a couple."
