I have a life simulator.

"Then since Number 12 dared to claim to be the Seer, it means he is definitely not in a relationship, because the Seer is unlikely to survive tonight, provided that the Witch used the antidote last night."

"I just checked, and only numbers 2 and 11 didn't run for sheriff. There's a high probability that there's a wolf hiding under the sheriff. Since number 11 is a confirmed case, number 2 is more suspicious. Let's listen to the speeches after the sheriff election and see. Actually, I personally think we can push number 2 out."

"Also, since number 12 is the Seer, number 11 is the innocent, and I am a good person myself, I can just guess that number 9 is a werewolf based on the positions. But it's just a guess, so number 9 doesn't need to react too much. That's all."

"pass."

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

"Finally, they're starting to mark the wolf pits."

Masayoshi Hashimoto, with his blond hair swept back in his chair, turned to Masumi Kamuro and said:

"Kamuro, what do you think?"

"The simplest way to win at Werewolf is through elimination, which involves narrowing down the possibilities to determine the possible locations of the wolves, also known as identifying the wolves' hiding places."

Kamuro Masumi sat there meticulously, a stark contrast to Hashimoto Masayoshi's nonchalant attitude; she stared intently at the screen, appearing quite focused.

"Although No. 10's statement was offensive at first glance, directly suspecting No. 2, who hadn't spoken yet, and No. 9, who hadn't had a chance to speak, as the first round of speeches had already progressed to the middle, someone really needed to expose the werewolves."

"Moreover, number 10 wasn't a random choice; there's some basis to the 'copter hiding wolf' theory and positional analysis."

Hashimoto Masayoshi scoffed and shook his head dismissively:

"I think his approach was too stupid. He seemed decisive and bold, but he didn't think things through at all. Pointing out number 2 was reasonable, but guessing that number 9, who hadn't spoken, was a werewolf directly... His emotional intelligence was too low."

"No, it's not that he has low emotional intelligence."

Masumi Kamuro shook her head and said:

“In a normal Werewolf game, the role of the villagers is basically to follow the role of the gods, not cause trouble, and participate in the discussion to help eliminate potential threats. However, most of the players participating this time are the elites of their own class. In other words, even if they get the villager card, they will still participate in the decision-making process out of habit.”

"Because they have become accustomed to being decision-makers over the past semester."

"So even if they belong to the same camp, they are very likely to clash, just like number 3 and number 12."

"So this game will be more complicated than we imagined."

"Because not everyone pursues final victory, and the winner is not necessarily the one who benefits the most."

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

Hiyori Shiina and Ryo Kitagawa met when they were twelve years old; their first interaction was in a public online chat room.

The two kids blended in perfectly among a group of adult netizens, chatting with others about Ellery Queen, Dorothy, or Lawrence Black as if they were their own age. So they quickly noticed each other, or rather, they were both drawn to each other at the same time.

Hiyori Shiina made her first friend online.

For a long time, she was unaware that she was one of only two people Kitagawa Ryo could talk to.

In the following year or two, the two tacitly refrained from inquiring about each other's lives. They only talked about various books, recommending them to each other, teasing each other, and pointing out the flaws of certain authors.

After getting to know each other better, the two started using voice chat because their typing speed often couldn't keep up with each other's thoughts.

Couples need shared interests, because shared interests can continuously generate common topics. There are always books in the world to read, so topics between two people can flow like a spring, and even time differences cannot stop them. They often suddenly start a conversation in the middle of the night.

Just as there are twenty rules in detective novels, the relationship between Shiina Hiyori and Kitagawa Ryo also has its own unwritten rules.

However, it's just a very simple one:

You can chat freely anytime.

I may have 30,000 words of idle talk, but I'll only share them with one person.

"The third rule of detectives: Do not add romance to the story. This will only allow irrational emotions to interfere with purely rational reasoning. What we need to do is bring the murderer to the court of justice, not send a couple in love to the altar of marriage."

What's Hiyori's opinion on this?

While washing up in the morning, Shiina Hiyori chatted with Kitagawa Ryo, who had just gotten into bed and snuggled under the covers, about their views on love.

The girl suddenly slammed a hot towel over her face in front of the mirror.

"do not know."

A good detective novel needs to be logical:

The methods of murder and crime solving must be reasonable and scientific.

The truth behind the mystery must be clear and logical.

In the end, every criminal case must be able to provide a plausible explanation.

The pre-defined detectives and criminals act and perform like puppets on the stage constructed by the author, deceiving the reader before the truth is revealed.

Hiyori Shiina had always been obsessed with this literature until the incident involving Ryo Kitagawa occurred.

Reality is not a cleverly plotted mystery novel; it can have the most incomprehensible motives, the most unbelievable processes, and then be accompanied by the most magical ending.

Holmes and Watson first met in their rented apartment, and that's how their story began.

Shiina Hiyori and Kitagawa Ryo first met in court, one standing in the defendant's dock and the other sitting in the audience.

She had heard the boy's voice countless times; it was cool and soft, yet warm enough to bring tears to her eyes.

"Regarding the defense lawyer's argument that the assault was motivated by a subjective intent to protect a classmate, and therefore should be punished more leniently."

"Has the witness mentioned in this statement come to the scene today?"

Everyone turned their heads away, but the defendant remained standing there with his back turned.

"Who knows."

The boy spoke like this, then smiled indifferently, like a bottomless abyss.

Hiyori Shiina thought she and Ryo Kitagawa were the same kind of beings, without wounds, without past events, like the white earth after a snowfall, everything was blank, waiting for each other to leave their own marks and symbols.

As Kitagawa Ryo was being tried in court, Shiina Hiyori recalled a morning when he asked her about love. The hazy feeling of waking up early was like a hot, damp towel on her face, making her feel as if life was still long and their story had just begun, like the purest angels holding each other's clean hands.

Hiyori Shiina remembered the girl's name from the argument.

Karuizawa Megumi.

[Player #10 has finished speaking]

The radio broadcast beside her ear pulled the girl from her memories back to reality.

Hiyori Shiina took a deep breath and looked at her identity card in her hand:

Werewolf

She didn't crave victory; all she wanted was for Karuizawa Megumi to fail.

To achieve this goal, the first step is to find out which player Karuizawa Kei's serial number is and which faction she belongs to.

Once the other person's identity is confirmed, even if Karuizawa Kei is a werewolf teammate of hers, Shiina Hiyori will not hesitate to betray them.

Shiina Hiyori pursed her lips and began to narrow down the possible possibilities of Karuizawa Kei in her mind, with number 3 being the first to be ruled out.

[Player #9, please speak]

Now, it's time for one of her werewolf "teammates" to speak.

The girl recalled the events of the first night; there were three werewolves on this board.

Alongside her in the werewolf faction were number 9, and...

Currently available information:

No. 3, Rokusuke Koenji

No. 5 Shiina Hiyori Werewolf

No. 6 Ayanokoji Kiyotaka

Hunter #8, Sakayanagi Arisu, is in a romantic relationship with Hunter #4.

Number 9, Ichinose Honami, a werewolf (it is currently unknown whether she is the werewolf king).

Number 10, Ryuji Kanzaki

#11 Horikita Suzune is in the good guys camp (her specific identity is unknown).

Prophet No. 12, Long Yuanxiang

Chapter 48: What is the witch doing?

[Player #9, please speak]

"Number 9: Single Good Guy".

"Player 10's judgment was too hasty. Positional analysis is a rather mysterious theory. If you were really a good person, you shouldn't be stirring up trouble like this."

"Your previous statements were all quite good, but your last sentence made me want to tag you in the werewolf pit and attack you."

"You casually assume someone is a wolf, and then tell me not to overreact. So, what kind of reaction would be considered overreacting?"

"Should I say, 'Yes, yes, you're right, you're absolutely right'?"

Honami Ichinose deviated from her usual style. She came with the obsession of helping Class B win. In the Werewolf game, she foolishly trusted everyone, which would only make her die faster. What's more, she was assigned the role of "Werewolf King" this time.

As the theoretical leader of the werewolf camp, the werewolf king has the same ability as the hunter to take someone away, which gives Ichinose Honami the confidence to speak.

Although the exact identity of player number 10 is unknown, since the other party has suspected them first, they must fight back forcefully.

Honami Ichinose understood perfectly well that no matter what role Ryuji Kanzaki was assigned in Class B, the benefit of her winning would be the greatest.

Since the werewolf camp has at most three people, if they split the 83.5 million points equally, each person can get more than 27 million points, while the good guys camp and the third-party camp will never get more than that number.

Therefore, I must win.

Anyway, all I'm facing now is an empty profile picture. If Ichinose Honami doesn't look into other people's eyes, she can tell lies too.

“I accept that player number 12 is the Seer, since only player number 12 has claimed to be the Seer so far.”

"Actually, the prophets on this board are in a terrible situation. They can only report information, and they probably won't live more than two nights. They also have to be questioned by others."

"Under these circumstances, anyone who dares to claim to be a prophet on the first day is at least qualified in my eyes, and there's nothing wrong with what they said on the 12th."

"My personal suggestion is that the thief should reveal himself as early as possible, so that we know what cards you have buried, and whether the good guys have all the gods. This is very important."

"In short, number 10 is already half a werewolf in my eyes. Let's see what he says in the next round."

"pass."

After turning off the microphone, Honami Ichinose patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing her forehead with a pained expression.

As the first "real" werewolf identified by the good guys, Honami Ichinose felt a lot of pressure.

[Keep it up! Keep it up!]

The girl took a deep breath to encourage herself, and reached into her pocket to take out a small sachet.

The faint fragrance of irises lingered around my nose, gradually calming Honami Ichinose's heart.

This was something she sewed on the leftover scraps after she finished making a sachet for Kitagawa Ryo.

In The Little Prince, the fox would think of the Little Prince whenever he saw golden waves of wheat.

Honami Ichinose held the sachet tightly in her hand.

She wanted to be like Kitagawa Ryo, who led Class C forward.

She is the class monitor of Class B, Grade 1.

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

[Player #9 has finished speaking]

[Player #8, please speak]

Sakayanagi Arisu yawned slightly. She was fairly satisfied with the statement made by player number 4—the couple whose true identities were still unknown. Apart from player number 1, the other players seemed to have been fooled and temporarily excluded player number 4 from the list of couples, which was undoubtedly a very favorable situation for them.

However, even Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't determine whether the other side was a good guy or a werewolf based on No. 4's speech. Deduction requires information, and conjecture can only exist in novels. Although it is said that some people are born with amazing intuition and can play Werewolf game more efficiently, guessing identities with just one or two sentences.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu is not this type of player.

After mentally rehearsing what she wanted to say, Sakayanagi Arisu began with a light laugh:

"Number 8 is also a single, nice person."

“I also acknowledge the identity of Seer #12. After all, in this game, apart from the situation where a thief can openly impersonate a Seer by using a werewolf to cover up the Seer, it is virtually impossible for a werewolf to boldly claim to be the Seer.”

"Well, although Cupid sometimes pretends to be the seer to confuse people, we have to wait until the other party confirms that they are on the third side. Player 12 was the fourth to speak, so this possibility can be ignored. After all, Cupid should be very honest if he can't confirm his own side."

"As for the arguments between No. 9 and No. 10 in the front row, I personally think that neither side's statements were very good. Although No. 10 started it, No. 9's statement was really too extreme. Doesn't No. 9 know what overreaction means? Your reaction just now was quite excessive."
