~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 14: Who Are the Wolves? ~Day 6~
Chapter Index
Game Master: Dawn has come.
- - - -
Toma Inumaru: Hah…
Haruka Isumi: …I’m alive…
Mitsuki Izumi: Who’s…
Game Master: The wolves struck last
night, leaving behind one victim.
Iori Izumi: Nanase-san..!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: They got Riku-kun..!
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Ah… I knew
I’d get attacked…
Riku Nanase: But I did my best!
I wonder who the wolves were…
[Creak…]
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Riku Nanase: Ah..!
Audience:Riku!
Audience:Rikkun!
Riku Nanase: Wow! Everyone’s here!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yamato Nikaido: Well done, Riku.
Gaku Yaotome: Great job out there,
Nanase.
Riku Nanase: Ah! Mr. Hunter!
Thank you for protecting me..!
So, who were the wolves?
Yamato Nikaido: Who do you think?
Riku Nanase:………
You and Toma-san..?
Yamato Nikaido:Hey!!!
The correct answer would’ve been
Ichi and Kujo.
Riku Nanase: No way..!
Yamato Nikaido: You trusted them,
didn’t you?
Riku Nanase: I did..! Tamaki,
is that true!?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Totally.
Riku Nanase: Oh, geez…
Momo: Riku! Today’s also the villagers’
final day to survive!
Riku Nanase: The final day!? Already!?
Riku Nanase: Are they going to be okay..!?
- - - -
Toma Inumaru: Great job, Riku!
We’ll win this game for you!
Mitsuki Izumi: Kujo’s going on the
chopping block today, right?
Tenn Kujo: Wait.
Mitsuki Izumi: What for?
Tenn Kujo: I won’t oppose my execution,
but you should really hear the results of
my fortune first.
Haruka Isumi: What are your results?
Tenn Kujo: Is it okay if I tell you
now?
Toma Inumaru: Sure. It’s not like we
gotta worry about timing anymore.
Tenn Kujo: ……..
Tenn Kujo: Toma Inumaru is a wolf.
Toma Inumaru: What..!?
Haruka Isumi: Seriously..!?
Mitsuki Izumi: Huh..!?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:………
Toma Inumaru: Wait, hold on!!!
I get it now… Kujo’s a wolf.
Tenn Kujo: I’m the real fortune-teller.
And luckily enough, I found the last wolf.
Now I can die without regrets.
Tenn Kujo: Go ahead and execute me.
Mitsuki Izumi: His confidence seems
pretty authentic…
Iori Izumi: It does…
Haruka Isumi: …If Kujo-san’s the
real one, then do we really need
to execute him?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …We’re supposed to
execute all fortune-tellers, remember?
Haruka Isumi: Yeah, but… If we can
end the game by executing Toma instead,
we’ll be done faster.
Toma Inumaru: What!? No…
Haruka Isumi: If we execute Toma and
the game doesn’t end, then Kujo-san’s
a wolf.
Haruka Isumi: We can take care of
him the next day.
Mitsuki Izumi: I, guess..?
Maybe we can..?
Toma Inumaru: No, hold on! I’m not
a wolf! You should execute Kujo first.
Haruka Isumi: Minami said he wasn’t
the fox, too.
Toma Inumaru: Haru! I’m not lying!
Is there any reason why you’re so
suspicious of me?
Haruka Isumi: Not really… But,
he said you’re a wolf.
Toma Inumaru: Yuki-san got falsely
accused too, remember? And then he
turned out to be a villager.
Haruka Isumi: …So are you saying
Kujo-san’s a wolf?
Tenn Kujo: Inumaru-san’s’s the wolf.
He and Nikaido-san were working
together.
Haruka Isumi: ………
Is that true?
Toma Inumaru: No, obviously! Kujo’s
the wolf. Just look at his fortune
results and you’ll see…
Toma Inumaru: That he’s in cahoots
with Tsunashi-san!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Huh!?
Toma Inumaru: You’re the only
person Kujo claimed as a villager
who’s still alive.
Mitsuki Izumi: Is it really you,
Tsunashi-san!?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: No, I’m not a wolf.
Toma-kun’s got it all wrong.
Toma Inumaru: What’s that supposed
to mean?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I’ve been suspecting
that Tenn might be a wolf, myself…
Tenn Kujo: …What..? That’s kind of a
shock, coming from one of my own teammates.
Mitsuki Izumi: No, he’s the real deal!
Haruka Isumi: Don’t suspect the poor
guy! He’s in your group and everything!
Toma Inumaru: And what am I, Haru!?
Chopped liver!?
Haruka Isumi: Oh yeah, I guess
you’re in MY group.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: It’s just…
That’s exactly why I think he’s a wolf.
It’s a bit hard for me to explain…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Ah…
I really don’t know how to put this.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I’m not sure any of
you outside of TRIGGER would even get it.
Mitsuki & Haruka: What!?
Tenn Kujo: …Haha…
Tenn Kujo: What are you saying, Ryu?
You’re just confusing everyone.
- - - -
Riku Nanase: What’s he talking about!?
Do you know, Yaotome-san!?
Gaku Yaotome: Yeah, I do.
Riku Nanase: Huuuh!?
Sogo Osaka: So cool…
Tamaki Yotsuba: He hasn’t even
said anything yet!
Sogo Osaka: So what does he
mean, exactly?
Gaku Yaotome: Well, uh…
It’s kinda hard to explain…
Gaku Yaotome: Tenn’s just like that.
Riku Nanase: Like what?
Yamato Nikaido: I guess it literally
is hard for them to explain…
Gaku Yaotome: Yeah. Uh…
Momo:No, I think I get it!
Gaku Yaotome: Momo-san?
Momo:Tenn, or TRIGGER in general, don’t
tend to let it show when they’re hurt.
Momo:When they do, it’s usually
an act. Ryu probably caught on to that.
Sogo Osaka: Ah…
Torao Mido: So that’s what he meant…
Gaku Yaotome: Yeah, pretty much.
Audience:Ah…
[Applause]
Tamaki Yotsuba: Everybody’s clapping…
Minami Natsume: I can see why.
Gaku Yaotome: Haha. Thanks, guys.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Riku Nanase: I see… So that’s why
Te… Kujo-san looks a little bit happy.
Riku Nanase: He’s in trouble, but he’s
having fun. It’s a little unfair…
Gaku Yaotome: You should be happy
for us, y'know.
Riku Nanase:Right.
Gaku Yaotome: Haha, quit pouting already.
I protected you too, didn’t I?
Riku Nanase: That’s true.
You’re the best, Yaotome-san!
Gaku Yaotome: …Hey! Don’t jump on
me like that, I’ll spill my drink!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
- - - -
Iori Izumi: We have no way of telling
whether his fortune is true or not.
Iori Izumi: However, as Isumi-san said,
if it is ture, then we’ll win as soon as
Inumaru-san is executed.
Iori Izumi: If the game doesn’t end,
we’ll execute Kujo-san as well.
Iori Izumi: Getting rid of another wolf
will buy us more time to execute people.
Haruka Isumi: Right? So we should
totally start with Toma.
Mitsuki Izumi: If that’ll help clear
things up for us, then I guess?
Toma Inumaru: But didn’t we agree to
take care of the fortune-tellers first?
Toma Inumaru: I’m cool with being executed
if it means Kujo will be next, but do we
have the days to do that?
Mitsuki Izumi: We’ll get more days
after we execute Kujo, won’t we?
Iori Izumi: If Kujo-san turns out to be
a wolf and we execute him, there will only
be one wolf left, and therefore we’ll
have more days.
Tenn Kujo: I don’t care either way.
My job here is done.
Tenn Kujo: It’s a good thing I managed
to find a wolf before I die. Isn’t it,
Inumaru-san?
Toma Inumaru: Damn… Even when I know
you’re lying, you do a good job of making
yourself seem trustworthy.
Toma Inumaru: Fine, you can execute me
today. But if you do, you gotta make sure
to execute Kujo next. Got that, Haru?
Haruka Isumi: …You won’t mind if we
execute you today?
Toma Inumaru: Nope. Just make sure
to avenge me tomorrow, alright?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: No, wait. Something
doesn’t add up.
Mitsuki Izumi: Add up how?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I mean the
calculations Torao-kun was making.
We currently have either one or two
wolves in the village, right?
Haruka Isumi: Uh… If Nikaido-san
was one, then there’s one wolf left.
If he wasn’t, then there’s two.
Iori Izumi: We don’t have much
time left.
Iori Izumi: Kujo-san or Inumaru-san.
We’ll each vote for who we think is
the right choice.
Iori Izumi: I’m going with Isumi-san’s
idea, and voting for Inumaru-san. Then
I’ll watch and see what happens.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Wait, we can’t
do that!
Haruka Isumi: What do you mean,
we can’t?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Um, if Toma-kun
gets executed tonight, and he’s not a
wolf, then there will be two wolves left.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: If someone gets
attacked after that, then the number
of villagers will be…
Iori Izumi: ………
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: There’s no way
you wouldn’t have accounted for this…
Iori Izumi: Who, me?
Iori Izumi: Are you accusing meof
being a wolf?
[Whistle]
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba:Yooooooo!!!
Iorin!!!
Riku Nanase: Why would he say something
like that right near the end..!?
Nagi Rokuya: Perhaps he wanted to
split the vote even further?
Gaku Yaotome: Split the vote?
Sogo Osaka: Right. If it came down to
Kujo-san versus Toma, they could lose by
a small margin.
Sogo Osaka: If Iori-kun is added
to the mix, they’ll have a better
chance of winning.
Nagi Rokuya: Especially since the
wolves will obviously vote for the same
target. Inumaru-shi already has two people
against him.
Riku Nanase: So if even one more person
writes in Toma-san’s name, the villagers
will lose?
Nagi Rokuya: Precisely.
Gaku Yaotome: Oof, that’s rough..!
Yamato Nikaido: Yeah, seriously!
Minami Natsume: It’s a complicated
situation, indeed… Especially since
Isumi-san is on the verge of voting
against Inumaru-san.
Tamaki Yotsuba: But wouldn’t Isumin
at least go easier on one of his own
teammates?
Minami & Torao: Hmm…
Yuki: I’m guessing ŹOOĻ’s interpersonal
relationships aren’t as warm as certain
other groups’.
Riku Nanase: But Toma-san’s such
a nice guy.
Torao Mido: No… Haruka actually
does like Toma a lot. Idolizes him, even.
Minami Natsume: But that’s exactly
why he can’t trust him.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Huh!?
What does that even mean!?
Momo:Is this another one of these
“only our group gets it” type things,
like it was with TRIGGER?
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Torao Mido: It’s not really anything
to cheer about…
Torao Mido: It’s just that betrayal
hurts more when it comes from someone
you care about.
Minami Natsume: Which is why he
literally cannot allow himself to
trust Inumaru-san.
Audience:Ah…
[Applause]
Torao Mido: Now they’re… clapping..?
Minami Natsume: Hee hee, thank you
all very much.
Nagi Rokuya: Each of our groups has
its own unique personality!
Yuki:Today we found out that for
Re:vale and MEZZO", selling out a
friend comes very cheap.
Tamaki Yotsuba: I didn’t sell
out anyone!
Yamato Nikaido: And IDOLiSH7 has a bunch
of free spirits, for one.
Riku Nanase: That’s definitely true!
Sogo Osaka: It’s almost time.
Riku Nanase: Ah… I wonder who’s
going to win..!
- - - -
Iori Izumi:………
Mitsuki Izumi:……….
Tenn Kujo: ………
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: ……….
Haruka Isumi:……….
Toma Inumaru:……….
- - - -
Game Master: And the result of the
vote is…
Game Master: Toma Inumaru will be
executed.
Toma Inumaru:Aaaaaagh..!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: What..!?
Haruka Isumi: Aah..!
Game Master: Night has fallen.
Mitsuki Izumi: The game’s still going..!
Game Master: The wolves must select
their prey.
Game Master: Once they have selected
their target, the game will end.
Tenn Kujo: We did it..!
Iori Izumi: We’ve won..!
Iori Izumi: May I attack my brother now?
Tenn Kujo: Go right ahead.
Iori Izumi: Haah… It’s over at last.
Iori Izumi: Thank you for this final prey.
Game Master: The game has concluded in
the wolves’ victory.
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 13: Nighttime Stategy Meetings ~Day 5~
Yamato Nikaido: You’ve gotta be kidding me, Riku..!
Uooohhh…!!!
Yamato Nikaido: You guys had better execute
Kujo after this!!!
Yamato Nikaido: He’s the wolf..!
You have to believe me..!
- - - -
Iori Izumi: We were saved by Nanase-san’s
nonsensical little skits…
Tenn Kujo: Right…
Iori Izumi: What’s wrong? You seem concerned.
Tenn Kujo: …I think Ryu’s onto me.
Iori Izumi: Tsunashi-san…
Tenn Kujo: At least that’s what I think.
He’s too nice to start interrogating me
until he’s confirmed his hunch to be
true.
Iori Izumi: He isn’t the type to fall
under suspicion and get executed, so I’d
like to attack him… But now is not the
time for that.
Tenn Kujo: Right. I’ll get executed
tomorrow, so let’s stick with the plan
and attack Nanase-san.
Iori Izumi: Right. You should accuse
someone of being a wolf tomorrow, though.
Iori Izumi: If that person gets executed
before you, victory is ours.
Tenn Kujo: Got it. Who should I accuse?
I’ve already “read” Ryu’s fortune.
Iori Izumi: Well, as far as the others
go… Him.
Iori Izumi: Inumaru-san suspected me.
You should accuse him.
Iori Izumi: Keeping him around for too
long will put me at a disadvantage.
Tenn Kujo: Fine. We just need Ryu,
your brother, and Isumi-san on our side.
Iori Izumi: No, we don’t. If even one of
them sides with us, we’ll have just enough
votes for a draw.
Iori Izumi: If we’re forced to
revote, then it’s just a matter
of which one of you will be more
convincing.
Tenn Kujo: So if we manage to delay
the vote, we’ll win.
Iori Izumi: That’s right.
Tenn Kujo: Public opinion can be
a very scary thing.
Iori Izumi: Agreed.
Iori Izumi: It won’t be long before
we fall under suspicion. If possible,
we should try to win by tomorrow night…
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: Hang in there, Iorin
and Tenten..!
Gaku Yaotome: Ryu! Izumi Senior!
Inumaru! Isumi! Don’t let these wolves
fool you!
Nagi Rokuya: Hm… How very educational.
Minami Natsume: What is?
Nagi Rokuya: Without clear suspects,
a community that has fallen victim to
paranoia…
Nagi Rokuya: Will be easily overtaken
by two, very confident adversaries.
Momo:Sure seems that way.
Torao Mido: They’re full of openings,
too. They keep falling for distractions.
Torao Mido: Then again, once you’re
in the thick of things, it might be
harder to notice that.
Gaku Yaotome: And voicing your doubts
might risk you being targeted next.
Minami Natsume: Because none of them
speak up, the wolves are able to shape
their view of the situation.
Momo:Watching this makes me think
that if you say something, no matter how
wrong you might be…
Momo:The people who know you will
stick by you. And I think that’s
really important.
Gaku Yaotome:Right.
Sogo Osaka: But if you don’t have
anyone’s trust, people are quick to
turn on you. I got executed on the
very first day, after all…
Tamaki Yotsuba: I said I was sorry..!
Sogo Osaka: I’m not mad. That vote was
the result of a very small incident.
Sogo Osaka: You apologized to me,
then someone else took that to mean
that we were on the same side…
Nagi Rokuya: It was Iori.
Sogo Osaka: Huh..? Oh, wow…
So it was all planned out by him…
Nagi Rokuya: This game is most exciting.
I would love to play it again!
Yuki:Oh, it’s about time.
[Creak…]
Yamato Nikaido:………
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yamato Nikaido: What the…
Yamato Nikaido: This must be heaven.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yamato Nikaido: Happy New Year!
Audience:Happy New Year!
Yamato Nikaido: Were you guys watching me?
Audience: We were!
Audience:You were so cool!
Audience: I believed in you..!
Yamato Nikaido: Thanks!
Yamato Nikaido: I feel a lot better
after hearing that.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Hey, Yama-san!
Nagi Rokuya: Welcome, Yamato!
Yamato Nikaido: They’ve got food,
and beer! You guys have been having
a feast!
Sogo Osaka: Hehe. Yes we have.
Yamato Nikaido: Wow… I should’ve
ended up here sooner.
Momo:The real fortune-teller can’t
leave too early! Let me get you some
beer for all your hard work!
Yamato Nikaido: Yeah, hard work is
right! Take you, for example. You were
way too good out there, Momo-san..!
Yuki:He was scary good.
Yamato Nikaido: Ahaha, says the
partner he sold out.
Yuki: Don’t wag your finger at me.
Sogo Osaka: Tamaki-kun and Momo-san are
forming a “Traitors to Their Partner” unit.
Yamato Nikaido: That’s a hell of
a unit name… Literally.
Minami Natsume: Oh..? Could it be that
this game might conclude tomorrow?
Torao Mido: One, two… Yep.
There’s gonna be an equal number of
wolves and villagers, unless one of
the wolves gets executed tomorrow.
Yamato Nikaido: Wait, do the
villagers know?
Gaku Yaotome: I’m not sure if Ryu
even remembers the rules…
Minami Natsume: Inumaru-san and the
others seem content to leave minding the
small details to Iori Izumi.
Minami Natsume: If none of them speaks
up, they could lose by virtue of
carelessness.
Yuki: I still don’t get all this
number business, myself.
Momo:Once Riku gets attacked tonight,
that leaves six people, including two
wolves, right?
Yuki:Right.
Momo: If one villager gets executed
tomorrow, and another attacked the
following night, there’ll be two wolves
and two villagers left.
Momo:And if there’s an equal number
on both sides, the villagers lose.
Yuki:Oh, crap.
Nagi Rokuya: OH! Fight, villagers!
Mitsuki, remember to count the wolves!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Iorin, Tenten!
Hang on for just a little longer!
Momo:I believe in you, my dear wolfies!
Gaku Yaotome: As the fox, which side
are you rooting for, Natsume?
Minami Natsume: Well… As a fellow
monster, I suppose I should be casting
my lot with the wolves.
Torao Mido: That makes us enemies.
Toma, Haruka, you’ve got this!
Sogo Osaka: Mitsuki-san! Don’t let
go of your suspicions of Iori-kun
just yet!
Yamato Nikaido: He was doubting Ichi?
And whose fortunes did he think were real?
Sogo Osaka: Yours, I think?
Yamato Nikaido: Mitsu..! I believe
in you, too!
Gaku Yaotome: Ryu! Take ‘em down!
- - - -
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:…Tenn…
He might be a wolf…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I know he said
he just got excited and blurted out
his results, but…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: He’s not really
the type to speak without thinking. I know
how much self-restraint he has.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: He doesn’t so
much as yelp if he gets hurt while working.
Do you really think someone like him would
suddenly fail to control himself?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …I don’t know.
Maybe he was trying to play up his reactions
to keep the show interesting?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:Nah…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That’s unlikely.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: We had already
established that fortune results get
announced at the same time.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: He wouldn’t
break an agreement between all of us
and act on his own without a reason.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: He had to have
some sort of specific goal… Such as…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: ………
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …Is Tenn
a wolf, after all?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: What do you
think, Gaku!?
- - - -
Mitsuki Izumi: …Yamato-san got
got. And I still don’t know which one
is the real fortune-teller.
Mitsuki Izumi: I wanna believe that
it was Yamato-san, but Kujo’s awfully
calm for someone who could be faking it…
Mitsuki Izumi: We’re gonna execute
Kujo next. Then we have to figure
out who the remaining wolf is.
Mitsuki Izumi: Tsunashi-san’s reaction
seemed genuine back there, so maybe it’s
Inumaru?
Mitsuki Izumi: If it’s not Tsunashi-san,
Iori, or Isumi, then it has to be him.
Mitsuki Izumi: I forget why, but
I remember thinking it was weird that
he didn’t get attacked.
Mitsuki Izumi: I guess it’s Kujo,
then Inumaru…
- - - -
Haruka Isumi: I can’t believe I
trusted Minami…
Haruka Isumi: He, Kujo-san, and
Nanase were kinda my fave villagers and
everything. Hmm. Maybe I’ve got it all
wrong.
Haruka Isumi: Kujo-san’s still gotta be
real, right? I mean, we has all excited
this morning and everything.
Haruka Isumi: Probably because he got
the fox. It all seemed pretty authentic
to me.
Haruka Isumi: And there’s no way
the wolf’s Izumi. The younger one,
I mean.
Haruka Isumi: He kept telling us
to kill off Yotsuba. He wouldn’t tell
us to do that if they were allies.
Haruka Isumi: So that leaves…
…Toma..?
Haruka Isumi: But when I said
I suspected him, he seemed shocked!
I don’t think he was acting, either.
Haruka Isumi: Or maybe he was.
Hmm… Ah, I guess I’m just being
a pessimist.
Haruka Isumi: I think up a worst-case
scenario, and then I start believing
it’s real because of how bad it is.
Haruka Isumi: Like, the less I want
Toma to be lying to me, the more I’m
convinced that that’s what he’s doing.
Haruka Isumi: Maybe that’s why he
seems like a wolf to me? Should I trust
him, Torao?
Haruka Isumi: Tsunashi-san seems
like a pretty nice guy. And so does
Izumi’s big brother!
Haruka Isumi: That’s why they
don’t seem like liars to me…
…They also do acting on the side,
though. So in the end, they could
be just like Minami.
Haruka Isumi: ………
Haruka Isumi: Uugh, I’ve had
enough of this…
Haruka Isumi: I hope I get killed
before I have to start actually
figuring stuff out…
- - - -
Toma Inumaru: So, Mina was the
fox spirit…
Toma Inumaru: I have no idea
which fortune-teller’s what. But
we’re still executing Kujo tomorrow,
right?
Toma Inumaru: That means we’ll have
gotten rid of a wolf for sure.
Toma Inumaru: That’s gonna leave
us with five people, one of whom is
a wolf…
Toma Inumaru: We have two more
days left. That means we can still
make one miss.
Toma Inumaru: I bet they’re all
gonna suspect me… I guess Haru
already is, actually. Is it because
of my face?
Toma Inumaru: I’m still worried
about the younger Izumi… I’d hate
for someone like him to be a wolf.
Toma Inumaru: If I was a wolf, he’d
be the first person I’d get rid of.
Toma Inumaru: Still, it’s true that
the wolves could’ve been prioritizing the
hunter and medium over him…
Toma Inumaru: Hmm…
Toma Inumaru: I guess we should take
him out after Kujo.
- - - -
Torao Mido: None of them have noticed
that tomorrow’s potentially their last chance.
Nagi Rokuya:OH…I pray for the
village’s safety.
Momo: You’ve got this!
I only have eyes for you!!!
Yuki: For me?
Momo:You too, of course!
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 12: Who Are the Wolves? ~Day 5~
Game Master: Dawn has come.
- - - -
Toma Inumaru: Uoooh!!! I’m alive!
Tenn Kujo: Nice! He’s gone!
Haruka Isumi:Huh?
Riku Nanase: I knew it..! Can I say
my results?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Where’s Gaku!?
Game Master: The wolves struck last
night, leaving behind one victim.
Yamato Nikaido: Aah..! Yaotome..!
Mitsuki Izumi: They got Yaotome..!
Iori Izumi: Ah, another villager…
Haruka Isumi: Wait, where’s Minami?
Game Master: One of you disappeared
without a trace last night.
Toma Inumaru: Disappeared?
So he wasn’t attacked?
Riku Nanase: Ah..! He must’ve been
the fox spirit!
Tenn Kujo: I read Natsume-san’s
fortune. He was the fox spirit.
Haruka Isumi: Minami was a fox
this whole time!?
Iori Izumi: Well done, Kujo-san..!
Yamato Nikaido: Weren’t we supposed
to announce these things all at the same
time!? I read Natsume’s fortune, too. He
was a fox!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: There’s so much
going on right now..! So Gaku’s dead,
and Minami-kun’s gone?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: What happened
last night!?
- - - -
Gaku Yaotome: Ah… I knew it, I’m dead.
Minami Natsume:Yaotome-san.
Gaku Yaotome: Wha… Oh…
Is that you, Natsume?
Minami Natsume: That’s right.
It’s a pleasure to join you among
the dead.
Gaku Yaotome: So that means you died,
too. But how..?
Minami Natsume: I was the fox spirit.
Gaku Yaotome: I see…
Minami Natsume: Yip yip.
Gaku Yaotome: A villager and a fox,
making their way to hell together. That
could be interesting, actually.
Minami Natsume: We make quite the
dynamic duo. I wouldn’t even mind making
a pilgrimage all the way to Ise Grand
Shrine with you.
Gaku Yaotome: Sorry, but I’ve
got work tomorrow.
Minami Natsume: Oh, what a pity.
In that case, let’s at least link arms
and walk over to that door together.
Gaku Yaotome: Why?
Minami Natsume: Listen closely.
Don’t you feel as if someone’s waiting
for us?
Gaku Yaotome: …Waiting for us..?
Minami Natsume: I’ll gladly escort you.
Gaku Yaotome: …I guess I am hearing
something from over there…
- - - -
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Audience:Gaku-san!!!
Audience:Minami-san!!!
Gaku Yaotome: ………
Minami Natsume: See? I told you.
Tamaki Yotsuba: They’re linking arms!!!
Momo:Since when were you two
such good pals!?
Sogo Osaka: Well done out there.
Torao Mido: Good job.
Minami Natsume: Hello, Mido-san.
Were you all watching us from here this
whole time?
Yuki:That’s right. Gaku-kun,
you were the coolest hunter ever.
Gaku Yaotome: Thanks. I only managed to
protect one person, though.
Nagi Rokuya: In the end, you stepped
down without ever getting the chance to
raise hell, Natsume-shi.
Minami Natsume: I wish I could’ve
caused more confusion. So, who was the
real fortune-teller?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yama-san.
Gaku Yaotome: What!? Does that mean
Tenn’s a wolf?
Momo:Yep. He’s the one I’m rooting for!
Gaku Yaotome: I kept protecting him…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Audience:Ahahahaha!
Momo: It’s hard to tell if they’re
cheering or laughing.
Yuki:You two should do some hunter
and fox style fanservice for the audience.
Gaku Yaotome: What, is that what all
the others have been doing?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Totally!
Gaku Yaotome: Wait, really?
Minami Natsume: I’ll go first, then.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Minami Natsume: Happy New Year,
everyone.
Minami Natsume: I’ll be bewitching
you all with my honeyed words again
this year.
Minami Natsume: But please forgive me,
even if you fall for one of my lies.
Yip yip.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: His fox pose is super cute!
Minami Natsume: …Hee hee…
Torao Mido: What did you trot over
here for? Feeling shy, are we?
Minami Natsume: A little bit.
Give me a high five.
Torao Mido: Ahaha! Now that’s a
surprising request!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
[Slap]
Nagi Rokuya: Such an adorable fox!
Sogo Osaka: That was very cute!
Momo: Hunter Gaku! You’re next!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Gaku Yaotome: Happy New Year!
Gaku Yaotome: If anyone dares disturb
you guys’ peaceful sleep…
Gaku Yaotome: I’ll make sure to
protect you.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Gaku Yaotome:BANG!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Momo: What a hottie..!
Gaku’s so cool..!
Yuki: Not bad. You get an A+ from me, as
both a hunter and a member of TRIGGER.
Gaku Yaotome:Heh.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Gakkun, Gakkun!
Do that to So-chan too!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: It’s fine, you don’t have
to! In fact, please don’t..!
Torao Mido: You have to be the
first person I’ve ever seen decline
fanservice.
Gaku Yaotome: Look at me, Osaka.
Sogo Osaka:………
Gaku Yaotome: You’re one of my rivals.
So instead of giving you fanservice, how
about I give you a handshake?
Sogo Osaka:O-Okay…
Gaku Yaotome: There we go.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Gaku Yaotome: It’s a pleasure to be
working with you this coming year.
Sogo Osaka: …The pleasure is
all mine!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Audience:Minami-kun, do the fox thing again!
Minami Natsume: Yip yip.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!

Toma Inumaru: …Two deaths at once…
Mitsuki Izumi: Yaotome got attacked by
wolves, and Natsume got cursed by a
fortune-teller…
Toma Inumaru: But which one?
Tenn Kujo: Me. I’m the one who
read his fortune.
Yamato Nikaido: Yeah, right. I’m the
one who read Natsume.
Mitsuki Izumi: So you read his
fortune too, gramps?
Yamato Nikaido: I’m telling you, that’s
why he disappeared in the first place!
Tenn Kujo: No, you have to believe me.
I’m the one who got rid of him.
Mitsuki Izumi: Uh…
Iori Izumi: It makes sense that they’d
both want to claim they did it.
Iori Izumi: The fox can only be killed
by the true fortune-teller, after all.
Iori Izumi: Now that Natsume-san is gone,
the imposter must pretend to have read his
fortune as well, or blow his cover.
Riku Nanase: Kujo-san managed
to announce his results first…
Yamato Nikaido: I wasn’t parroting
him, just so you know.
Yamato Nikaido: We’ve been announcing
our results in unison, remember? I was
waiting for us to do that, like always.
Iori Izumi: That’s true. Why did you
blurt out your results like that, Kujo-san?
Tenn Kujo: I spent the entire last night
worrying about which one of the other
fortune-tellers was the fox.
Tenn Kujo: So when I saw that I’d
guessed correctly, I got excited. I’m
sorry for the confusion I caused.
Toma Inumaru:………
They both make a good case…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …No…
Tenn Kujo: What?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Ah… It’s nothing.
Tenn Kujo:………
Haruka Isumi: …Minami… He said
he wanted us to praise him for catching
the fox and everything.
Haruka Isumi: And now you’re telling
me HE was the fox… Are we sure he wasn’t
actually the real fortune-teller?
Iori Izumi: I’d say it’s more or
less confirmed that he wasn’t. The GM
said he “disappeared without a trace”,
as opposed to being killed.
Haruka Isumi: What, so he really
was lying the whole time..?
Seriously..?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Are you okay?
Haruka Isumi: I can’t wrap my head
around any of this…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I know how you
feel. They’re all so good at pretending
that it’s hard to distrust any of them.
Haruka Isumi: …Yeah… Actually…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Hmm?
Haruka Isumi: Doesn’t that include
you..? You could be a wolf too, for
all I know.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I’m a villager,
though I can’t exactly prove it…
And what about you? Even you could be…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …No. I don’t
think you’re a wolf, Haruka-kun.
Though that’s just a hunch…
Haruka Isumi: I’m not! I’m really not!
Iori Izumi: First off, let’s decide
which fortune-teller to execute.
Iori Izumi: But before that, would you
mind telling us your results, Nanase-san?
Riku Nanase: Ah… Tamaki was a wolf.
Toma Inumaru: Got it! So that means
we succeeded in getting rid of one
wolf and the fox, at least.
Riku Nanase: Right, although we
also lost the hunter. I’ll probably be
attacked tonight.
Mitsuki Izumi: Oh, yeah…
All things considered, does it make
sense for us to go after the fortune-
tellers at this point?
Iori Izumi: What do you mean?
Mitsuki Izumi: One of them is a wolf…
That much is obvious.
Mitsuki Izumi: But one of us regular
villagers has to be a wolf, too.
Mitsuki Izumi: I figure it’s best
if we look for that wolf first.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That makes sense…
But I don’t think I could judge other
people as well as a fortune-teller…
Toma Inumaru: Me neither…
Haruka Izumi: I don’t have a clue,
either… But I do kinda wanna hear
everyone’s take on this.
Haruka Isumi: Which non-fortune-teller
do you suspect the most..?
Mitsuki Izumi: Huh!? Well, if I have
to pick one, then probably Tsunashi-san…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: What, me!? But why?
Mitsuki Izumi: Because if you were a
wolf, you’d probably be a really good
one… What about you, Inumaru?
Toma Inumaru: For me, it’s probably
the younger Izumi brother…
Iori Izumi: Why, if I may ask?
Toma Inumaru: Because you seem like
a smart kid, but you’re also still alive.
Considering that the wolves went after
Rokuya and Tora first, you should’ve
been the next one to go.
Toma Inumaru: But here you are.
Mitsuki Izumi: Are you sure the
wolves weren’t just too busy going
after Riku and Yaotome?
Toma Inumaru: Oh, I guess that makes
sense. Haru, what do you think?
Haruka Isumi: I have no idea!
But if I had to pick one, then maybe
you, Toma..?
Toma Inumaru:ME!?
Haruka Isumi: I don’t think you’re lying!
Haruka Isumi: But up until now, everyone
whose fortune Nikaido-san read has turned
up dead. But you haven’t…
Haruka Isumi: So I think you could
be a wolf.
Iori Izumi: …It’s possible.
Toma Inumaru: No, no, no! No way!
Yamato Nikaido: That’s not possible.
I read Inumaru’s fortune, and he was
a villager.
Haruka Isumi: Doesn’t that just mean
that you’re both wolves..?
Mitsuki Izumi: Nope! I don’t think
gramps here is a wolf… for some
reason…
Mitsuki Izumi: Now I’m not so
sure, though…
Yamato Nikaido: Well you should
be, Mitsu!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yamato-kun and
Toma-kun as wolves… And what if Tenn
is a wolf? Who would his partner be?
Iori Izumi: I’m not sure…
It doesn’t feel like he’s trying to
cover for anyone.
Iori Izumi: According to him,
Yaotome-san, Nanase-san, and you
are villagers.
Iori Izumi: If he’s a wolf, then you
are the only one that could be
considered his ally.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I see…
But I’m not a wolf. So, does that
mean Yamato-kun’s..?
Yamato Nikaido: Hold up. I thought
we were looking for a regular villager
who’s a wolf here.
Mitsuki Izumi: That’s right.
Iori Izumi: It’s faster to find
one wolf among two people than among
five.
Iori Izumi: Especially if Nanase-san
dies, leaving us with no way to confirm
if we chose the right person.
Iori Izumi: We should execute
Nikaido-san and Kujo-san one
after the other.
Mitsuki Izumi: Hmm… It’s gonna suck
not having their abilities helping us
out, but I guess we have no choice.
Mitsuki Izumi: Nagi said we should
execute all the fortune-tellers, too.
Yamato Nikaido: So who do we start with?
Tenn Kujo: I don’t mind either way.
But if you’re going to execute me now,
make sure that you execute him tomorrow,
as well.
Tenn Kujo: He’s a wolf.
Yamato Nikaido: No, that’d be you.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …They’re getting
heated again…
Toma Inumaru: I have no idea who
we should start with…
Riku Nanase: Wait, both of you!
If you start acting all scary, you might
make Iori or Haruka-kun cry!
Iori Izumi: No, they might not!
Haruka Isumi: Hell no, they wouldn’t!
Riku Nanase: Try to convince us like
you’re trying to convince a girlfriend
that you’re not cheating on her.
Riku Nanase: I can be the girlfriend!
Haruka Isumi: Cheating!?
Yamato Nikaido: Riku! we don’t have
time for your silly roleplay ideas..!
Tenn Kujo: Knock knock. Ricchan,
I’m home.
Yamato Nikaido: Kujo’s already
on board!?
Tenn Kujo: Why are you sulking
all of a sudden? Did I do something
to upset you?
Tenn Kujo: If that’s the case, then
I want to make it up to you. Please,
tell me what’s wrong.
Riku Nanase: You don’t have to say
that… I know you’re cheating. I saw
you holding hands with that girl at lunch!
Tenn Kujo: You must’ve mistaken someone
else for me. I was at the studio all day
today.
Riku Nanase: Really?
Tenn Kujo: Really. You’re the only girl
whose hand I’d ever hold.
Tenn Kujo: Trust me.
Riku Nanase:………
Riku Nanase: I think he’s the real
fortune-teller!
Toma Inumaru: Seriously!? You decided
he was the real one based on that little
play of yours!?
Yamato Nikaido: Wait, wait, wait!
Let me try to convince you, too!
Riku Nanase: Oh, right! I was kind of
jumping to conclusions there! Okay,
Yamato-san, um…
Riku Nanase: You can be Tsunashi-san’s
boyfriend!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Huh!?
Yamato Nikaido: Knock knock.
Ryuko, I’m home.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: You’re barging
right in!? Um… Welcome home.
Yamato Nikaido: I thought we’d have
a nice, steamy couples night, so I bought
us some bingo cards.
Mitsuki Izumi: What a weird thing
to buy for your girlfriend.
Iori Izumi: How exactly would things
get “steamy” using bingo cards?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Oh, thank you!
You know how much I love playing bingo
with you!
Toma Inumaru: Turns out the bingo
cards were a surprisingly good choice.
Haruka Isumi: Do they always play
bingo together or something?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: But you can’t bribe
me with these. I saw you, you know.
Yamato Nikaido: Saw me doing what?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Cheating on me.
I know you messaged another girl, and
told her that you love her.
Yamato Nikaido: Don’t be stupid, Ryuko.
You know I send messages like that to
just about every girl I know.
Yamato Nikaido: You’re the only one
who gets to hear it straight from my
mouth. I love you, babe…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:………
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Isn’t that
still cheating, though?
[Whistle]
Yamato Nikaido: Noooooo!!! Wait!!!
Mitsuki Izumi: Yamato-san, you
dirty cheater!
Yamato Nikaido: Can I get a do-over!?
We’re not seriously out of time, right!?
Iori Izumi: It’s Nanase-san’s fault for
suggesting this in the first place..!
Riku Nanase: Aaah! I’m going to be
attacked! Hang in there, villagers!
- - - -
Game Master: And the result of the
vote is…
Game Master: Yamato Nikaido will be
executed.
Yamato Nikaido: You’ve gotta be
kidding me..!
Game Master: Night has fallen.
Game Master: The loser of the vote
will be taken to the execution site.
Game Master: The wolves must select
their prey.
Game Master: The fortune-teller must
select whose fortune to read, and the
hunter must decide who to protect.
Game Master: As for all the others,
they can only hold their breath and
wait for this frightful night to end…
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 11: Nighttime Stategy Meetings ~Day 4~
Tamaki Yotsuba:Uuurgh…
I’m so scared to find out where
I’m going….
Tamaki Yotsuba: Still, So-chan and
Nagicchi are waiting for me…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Ah, and I’m the first
wolf to die! Maybe they’ll all be mad
at me.
Tamaki Yotsuba: I don’t wanna be
yelled at…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Awooo..!
- - - -
Iori Izumi: ………
Iori Izumi: It’s just the two of us now.
Tenn Kujo: True.
Iori Izumi: Will Yaotome-san be our
target for tonight?
Tenn Kujo: Yep. It’s what Gaku’s
expecting, too. Seeing as how he’s readied
himself, we shouldn’t disappoint him.
Iori Izumi: I’m not one to go after
people who expect to be targeted.
But sure.
Iori Izumi: Do you think Nikaido-san
will read Natsume-san’s fortune?
Tenn Kujo: If he’s gone next morning,
I’ll pretend I read his fortune.
Tenn Kujo: If not, I’ll accuse
Nikaido-san of being a wolf.
Iori Izumi: Sounds good to me.
Tenn Kujo: If we’re going to start
executing the fortune-tellers, I’ll
be gone before you.
Tenn Kujo: As much as I’d rather not
leave winning this game entirely on your
shoulders.
Iori Izumi: It’s fine.
Tenn Kujo: Do you think you’ll be
able to stay hidden until the end?
Iori Izumi: I’m not sure…
Iori Izumi: I should be able to win
if I attack my brother before there’s
too few of us.
Iori Izumi: If he’s still around by
then, I’m not sure… He might find me
out.
Tenn Kujo: Got it.
Tenn Kujo: We’ll attack Gaku, then
Nanase-san, then your brother.
Iori Izumi: Thank you.
Tenn Kujo: I’ll try not to die just
yet, either.
Iori Izumi: Alright.
Tenn Kujo:………
Tenn Kujo: It’s really quiet without
Yotsuba-san here.
Iori Izumi: It is…
Tenn Kujo: The graveyeard, on the
other hand, is probably getting pretty
busy right about now.
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: There? I’m supposed
to go through that door?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Ugh… My hands
are shaking…
[Creak]
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Ah…
Tamaki Yotsuba:Yaaaay..!!!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: So-chan! So-chan,
I’m here!
Sogo Osaka: Hehe… Yes, I can see that.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Wave to the audience
too, So-chan..!
Yuki:He’s mad, you know.
Tamaki Yotsuba: No way..!
He’s mad!? Really!? Do you guys know!?
Audience:He’s mad..!
Audience:He’s not mad anymore..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Which is it!?
Audience:Ahahahaha..!
Momo:In any case, you’re gonna
form a unit with me, Tamaki.
Tamaki Yotsuba: A unit!? Is that
what you guys have been talking
about!?
Momo:Yep. Our group name is
“Traitors to Their Partner”.
Tamaki Yotsuba: So he’s not just
mad, he’s SUPER mad…
Torao Mido: What’d that shorten to..?
“P-Traitors”, maybe.
Sogo Osaka: That’s right.
Congratulations on forming the “P-Traitors”.
Tamaki Yotsuba: B-But I’m in MEZZO"
with you!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Right, So-chan!?
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: …Ahaha! I’m sorry,
Tamaki-kun. I’m not actually mad
at you.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Uuuugh!!!
Sorry that you got executed because
of me…
Momo:I thought you’d get mad, but
now you’re the one apologizing!?
Yuki:He’s such a nice kid.
Nagi Rokuya: With that, MEZZO" has
officially made up! Applause, if you
please!
Torao Mido: Congrats, you two.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
[Applause]
Nagi Rokuya: How are the villagers
doing, I wonder?
- - - -
Yamato Nikaido: Ugh… Which one
of them is the fox?
Yamato Nikaido: Natsume… Or Kujo..?
Yamato Nikaido: …Nah, it’s gotta
be Natsume. …Hmm? Am I just picking
my target based on the way he looks..?
Yamato Nikaido: Come to think of it,
we’ve all got pretty fox-like faces…
Yamato Nikaido: ………
Yamato Nikaido: I guess it doesn’t matter…
Yamato Nikaido: I’m tired of thinking.
Natsume’s the fox, and that’s that! I’m
reading his fortune!
- - - -
Minami Natsume: I might finally
die tonight.
Minami Natsume: Ah… They’re so cruel…
Driving a poor little fox into a corner
by telling us to read each other’s
fortunes….
Minami Natsume: just because I’m the
fox spirit doesn’t mean I like to be
treated with such coldness. I need
affection, too…
Minami Natsume:………
Minami Natsume: I wonder if
Nikaido-san will target me.
Minami Natsume: Assuming he’s the
real one, that is.
Minami Natsume: Kujo-san looked
very happy when the hunter succeeded
in protecting our medium.
Minami Natsume: If he’s the wolf, then
could he really fake such a happy
reason within mere seconds?
Minami Natsume: I think he’s the
genuine article…
Minami Natsume: Sigh… I should focus
on surviving the night for now.
Minami Natsume: If I don’t…
Minami Natsume: Then I’ll curse the
village into a hellish pandemonium of
fear and ruination.
Minami Natsume: Yip yip.
- - - -
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: The wolves
are pretty tough…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I took all these
notes, but I have no idea which bit of
information to begin with…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: The one thing I know
for sure is that everyone who got attacked
by wolves is a villager. That means Nagi-kun
and Torao-kun are in the clear.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: And because no one
else claimed the medium role, Riku-kun
is the real one.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That means I should
be able to trust his results. Sogo-kun,
Yuki-san, and Momo-san were villagers.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Gaku’s the hunter.
So that means…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Just based on his
results, Tenn is most likely to be the real
fortune-teller, since he said Riku-kun
and Gaku are villagers.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: But, something’s
nagging at me…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I don’t know why,
but… Tenn’s acting strange, somehow…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …It’s like he’s not
as sharp as he usually is…
- - - -
Gaku Yaotome: I’ll probably get attacked
tonight, but I’m glad I managed to do my
job at least once.
Gaku Yaotome: I wanted to do more, but
if this is where this hunter’s tale has
to end, then so be it.
Gaku Yaotome: I’m just glad I got to
go out in style.
Gaku Yaotome: There’s still two wolves
besides Yotsuba…
Gaku Yaotome: I’m counting on you,
villagers.
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 10: Who Are the Wolves? ~Day 4~
Game Master: Dawn has come.
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Whoa! I’m alive!
Toma Inumaru: I’m alive..!
Yamato Nikaido: He’s alive..!
Game Master: No one fell prey to
the wolves last night.
Yamato Nikaido: Huh?
Gaku Yaotome:Nice..!!!
Iori Izumi: They were protected…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: The hunter must’ve
successfully protected someone!
Haruka Isumi: The hunter’s still
alive! Awesome!!!
Tenn Kujo: Yay! This should buy us
some extra time!
Mitsuki Izumi: Which means…
We get to execute more people!
Hah, take that, wolves!
Minami Natsume: Hee hee, I’m sure
they’re feeling very frustrated.
Well done, Mr. Hunter.
Toma Inumaru: Yeah! Thanks a lot,
hunter!!!
Gaku Yaotome: Yeah… I mean, thanks,
hunter. Whoever you are!
Iori Izumi: Things are going well for
the village. Nanase-san, can you tell
us Momo-san’s results now?
Riku Nanase: Wait… What?
Iori Izumi: Is something wrong?
Riku Nanase: It says Momo-san was a villager.
Haruka Isumi: He was a villager?
So what, was he the real one? I’m
still not a wolf, though.
Toma Inumaru: Oh, I know! He was
that one villager type! You know, the
guys who side with the wolves…
Riku Nanase: The madman! He was
probably the madman, so his fortunes
weren’t accurate, even though he was
a human.
Haruka Isumi: Oh, that makes sense!
Phew!
Mitsuki Izumi: That’s one enemy
out of the way!
Riku Nanase: Yep! Hooray!
Yamato Nikaido: It’s certainly a
relief. Now all we have to do is
execute Tama.
Tamaki Yotsuba:Wait!
Mitsuki Izumi: What, Tamaki?
Your lies won’t work on us at
this point.
Tamaki Yotsuba: No! This is actually
the first time I’m telling you the truth!
Haruka Isumi: Huh? What’s that supposed
to mean?
Tamaki Yotsuba: The truth is…
Tamaki Yotsuba: I’m the hunter!
Gaku Yaotome: Say WHAT!?
Riku Nanase:Huuuh!?
Mitsuki Izumi: What a load of bull!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I can’t exactly
say I believe you, either…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Let me finish!
Tamaki Yotsuba: I only said I was a
wolf to try and double trick everyone.
Tamaki Yotsuba: I knew I’d get killed if
I told everyone I was a hunter, so I
pretended to be a wolf.
Iori Izumi: And yet the real wolves
didn’t attack you, despite knowing that
you’re a fake? What sense does that make?
Tenn Kujo: Maybe they thought he was
the fox… Since wolves can’t kill foxes.
Toma Inumaru: Oh, right…
Wait, is that really possible?
Minami Natsume: Isn’t that a bit
too convenient? That all the wolves
would assume he’s a fox…
Minami Natsume: …Would require them
to make the deduction that none of the
fortune-tellers are the fox.
Minami Natsume: And that can’t be
possible, unless two of the fortune-tellers
are actually wolves.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Since the wolves
couldn’t discuss it beforehand, isn’t it
possible that two of them could’ve claimed
the fortune-teller role by accident?
Tamaki Yotsuba: I dunno about all that,
but I’m still the hunter. And I saved
Rikkun.
Riku Nanase: Tamaki… So you’re the one
who protected me!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yep! I’ve been doing
that this whole time!
Gaku Yaotome: No, that doesn’t make sense.
The hunter’s supposed to have been hiding
this whole time, so they don’t get attacked.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yeah, but I just had
to say it! Sorry, guys!
Haruka Isumi: …What’re we supposed
to do here?
Iori Izumi: There’s no way he’s
telling the truth. That outburst of his
on the first day couldn’t have been planned.
Yamato Nikaido: I agree. Tama’s a wolf.
Minami Natsume: But if the real hunter
is still here, shouldn’t they announce
themselves?
Riku Nanase: Maybe they’re still hiding,
because they don’t want to be attacked…
Tamaki Yotsuba: I’m the real hunter!
I know I said some weird stuff on the
first day, but I was actually just hiding
until I succeeded in protecting someone.
Tamaki Yotsuba: I’m really, really,
really telling the truth this time!
Please believe me!
Gaku Yaotome:Yotsuba.
Tamaki Yotsuba: What?
Gaku Yaotome: Look me in the eye
and say that one more time.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Fine!
Tamaki Yotsuba: I’m not a wolf,
I’m the… Heh…
Gakau Yaotome: He can’t even keep
a straight face!
Tamaki Yotsuba: No, I just got nervous!
Gaku Yaotome: We’re executing Yotsuba
tonight. Since I did my job, we should
have extra time to figure out who’s
who tomorrow.
Riku Nanase:Huh..?
Tenn Kujo: Does that mean…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:You’re..?
Gaku Yaotome: I’m the hunter.
Nanase was protected by me.
Mitsuki Izumi:Whooooah!!!
Yaotome, you’re so cool..!!!
Yamato Nikaido: Who said you could
make a grand entrance like that..!?
Haruka Isumi: Holy crap! This is like
a TV drama!
Toma Inumaru: Wooow!!! Nice job, dude..!!!
Gaku Yaotome: Looks like the cat’s out
of the bag… I probably wasn’t supposed
to tell you this, but oh well.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Wha… But…
Gakkun’s… No, I mean, I’m..!
Gaku Yaotome: Enough, Yotsuba.
Tamaki Yotsuba:………
Gaku Yaotome: You’re going to get
executed, and your buddies are going to
take my life after that.
Gaku Yaotome: Which is better than
letting some innocent villager get
sacrificed, if you ask me.
Tamaki Yotsuba: …Why do you gotta
act so cool!?
Gaku Yaotome: I’m not trying to act
cool! I just really wanted to be useful.
Y'know, protect someone for once.
Gaku Yaotome: Sorry that I couldn’t
be more helpful, but it’s been fun.
Mitsuki Izumi:Yaotome…
Riku Nanase: Yaotome-san… I’ll never
forget what you did for me..!
Gaku Yaotome: Ahaha, stupid.
Gaku Yaotome: I’ll protect you again
tonight. That way, you’ll live even if
I die.
Gaku Yaotome: Then you can tell everyone
if Yotsuba was a wolf or not.
Iori Izumi: Right… We should stick
to our plan and execute Yotsuba-san.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Fine…
Mitsuki Izumi: You’re even a wolf in
the sense that you give up quickly.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Uh, no!? Of course I
wanna stay!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: At least you’ll
get to go see Sogo-kun after you’re
executed.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yeah… I was planning to
go talk to So-chan, anyway.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Gakkun. You’re a
pretty tough guy.
Gaku Yaotome: Right back at you,
Yotsuba.
Mitsuki Izumi: What a beautiful
friendship..!
Riku Nanase: They’ve crossed the rift
between wolves and humans!!!
Toma Inumaru: Since we’ve still got
some time, there’s I’ve got a request
for the fortune-tellers.
Tenn Kujo: A request?
Yamato Nikaido: What’s up?
Minami Natsume: What is it?
Toma Inumaru: Read each other’s fortunes,
won’t you? If Momo-san was a human, then
that means one of you’s gotta be the fox.
Yamato Nikaido: Only a fortune reading
will kill a fox… So you’re planning to
get rid of ‘em.
Tenn Kujo: Sure, let’s give it a try.
Minami Natsume: By the way, Inumaru-san,
who do you think is the fox?
Toma Inumaru:………
Toma Inumaru: I think it might be
you, Mina.
Minami Natsume: Me?
Toma Inumaru: It’s just a gut feeling
I have.
Minami Natsume: What a shame that is.
I’ll have you know that I’m the
genuine article.
Minami Natsume: Perhaps when Kujo-san
or Nikaido-san disappears suddenly, you’ll
come to your senses.
Minami Natsume: Maybe then you’ll
finally trust me.
Toma Inumaru: Sure thing.
Tenn Kujo: I don’t know about you two,
but I’m not going to disappear.
Yamato Nikaido: Lie all you want,
I’m the one who’s not going anywhere.
Minami Natsume: You’re both very
convincing actors.
Haruka Isumi: My head’s spinning…
I have no idea what’s going on at this
point.
Haruka Isumi: Hmm, but I still believe
in you, Minami!
Minami Natsume: Thank you.
Haruka Isumi: I hope you catch the fox!
Minami Natsume: I will, don’t you worry.
When I do, I expect you and Inumaru-san
to heap praise upon me.
Haruka Isumi: Okay!
Iori Izumi: So tonight, Yotsuba-san gets
executed, and the fortune-tellers read
each other.
Riku Nanase: Sounds good to me!
Sorry, Tamaki!
Minami Natsume: Very well.
If that’s what you want us to do.
Iori Izumi: Ah, it’s almost nighttime.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Bye, guys.
- - - -
Game Master: And the result of the
vote is…
Game Master: Tamaki Yotsuba will be
executed.
Game Master: Night has fallen.
Game Master: The loser of the vote
will be taken to the execution site.
Game Master: The wolves must select
their prey.
Game Master: The fortune-teller must
select whose fortune to read, and the
hunter must decide who to protect.
Game Master: As for all the others,
they can only hold their breath and
wait for this frightful night to end…
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 9: Nighttime Stategy Meetings ~Day 3~
Momo:…Phew…
Momo: Mission Complete.
Momo:I was worried for a second,
since Tamaki was trying to drop out
of the game ahead of me!
Momo:Time to check out the graveyard!
Momo:I’m coming for you, Darling!
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: Thanks, Momorin.
Iori & Tenn: Thank you, Momo-san.
Iori Izumi: Excellently played.
Tenn Kujo: You played the role of
the madman perfectly…
Iori Izumi: Yotsuba-san, you’ll most
likely be executed tomorrow.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yeah… I’m ready.
Iori Izumi: I’m going to have to ask
you to make faces all day, so nobody
can connect you to us.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Faces!? Okay…
I guess I’ll just make sure to
look sad the whole time.
Tenn Kujo: Ah, I’ll remember last year
like it was yesterday.
Tamaki Yotsuba: …….?
Tenn Kujo: Because it was yesterday.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Ahahaha! Tenten, what
are you even talking about!?
Tenn Kujo: Don’t laugh.
Iori Izumi: We were both caught
off guard by what you said. Does TRIGGER
always tell cheesy jokes like that at home?
Tenn Kujo: It’s just something my
family always says on New Year’s, so…
Iori Izumi: So what!?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Hey, shouldn’t we
be taking this more seriously?
Iori Izumi: You’re one to talk.
Tenn Kujo: Who should we attack?
Ideally, I’d like for it to be Nanase-san,
but I’m not sure if that’ll work.
Iori Izumi: It depends on if the
hunter is still among us, and who
they choose to protect.
Iori Izumi: They seem like they’ll
protect the mediums first and foremost,
but Nikaido-san could’ve influenced them
to protect Inumaru-san, instead.
Tenn Kujo: We don’t want them
to succeed in protecting someone.
Iori Izumi: Personally, I’d prefer
to attack my brother.
Tenn Kujo: Is he starting to
catch on to you?
Iori Izumi: At this rate, probably…
It feels like he’s keeping an eye on me.
Tenn Kujo: I’m a little
scared of Ryu, too…
Tamaki Yotsuba: What about Gakkun?
Tenn Kujo: Gaku trusts me. His poker
face sucks, so I’d know right away if
he was suspecting me.
Tenn Kujo: Ryu’s a different story.
Then again, if we were to attack him
now, I might come under suspicion.
Iori Izumi: I see. I suppose I might
come under suspicion if my brother was
attacked, as well.
Tenn Kujo: We’ve been going after
the smartest villagers up until now,
right? Going by that m.o., you should
be the next one to die.
Iori Izumi: That’s right. And the longer
I’m alive, the more suspicious I’ll
seem.
Tenn Kujo: And I’m one of the
fortune-tellers we’re all planning to
execute… Speaking of which, Natsume-san
is totally the fox spirit.
Iori Izumi: Indeed. He claimed
I was a villager.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Can’t we attack
Minamin?
Iori Izumi: The fox is immune to wolf
attacks. They can only be killed by the
true fortune-teller.
Iori Izumi: Luckily, you managed to
avoid the plan of making fortune-tellers
read each other.
Tenn Kujo: We don’t have much time
left. What do we do tomorrow?
Iori Izumi: Nii-san… Inumaru-san…
What do you think, Yotsuba-san?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Hmm… Rikkun.
Iori Izumi:Why?
Tamaki Yotsuba: It might make Mikki or
Ryu-aniki realize what you two are, but…
Tamaki Yotsuba: But Rikkun could also
realize that you’re both wolves.
Iori & Tenn:……….
Iori Izumi: The hunter will probably
protect him, but… What do you think?
Tenn Kujo:………
Let’s take the chance.
Iori Izumi: Very well. Our prey is Nanase-san.
Tamaki Yotsuba: My heart’s beating
super fast!
Tenn Kujo: Here’s hoping that nobody
will be there to protect him.
- - - -
Riku Nanase: I finally told everyone
that I’m the medium!
Riku Nanase:Phew…
I thought I’d die before then.
Riku Nanase: Still, I have to say,
I was shocked to find out that Yuki-san
had been a villager all along!
Riku Nanase: I was so convinced that
Momo-san was telling the truth. He’s
really something! Then again, I guess
deceiving each other is what this game’s
all about…
Riku Nanase: I wonder who the wolves are.
Do all of you at home know, yet?
Riku Nanase: Natsume-san kinda seemed
like one to me. Or maybe not..?
Riku Nanase: Maybe Yamato-san is the
madman. Though he seems like he could be a
real fortune-teller, too. But so does
Te… I mean, Kujo-san.
Riku Nanase: Maybe Natsume-san is actually
real… I actually wrote down his fortune
results.
Riku Nanase: He says Haruka-kun and
Iori are villagers, and I’m pretty sure
that’s true.
Riku Nanase: But since Iori played
the Wolf Boy, he could also be a wolf.
Riku Nanase: Ah, I’m scared.
What if I get attacked tonight?
Riku Nanase: Hunter, please protect
me, whoever you are! …Maybe it’s
Toma-san?
Riku Nanase: If it’s him, then it
makes sense that he hasn’t been able
to protect anyone so far.
Riku Nanase: I’m not trying to insult
him or anything! I think it’s cute that
he doesn’t go for the obvious picks.
Riku Nanase: If someone like Yaotome-san
was the hunter, he’d bring down his enemies
like, bang! Since he’s a part of TRIGGER!
Riku Nanase: Ugh… Please let me live
to see tomorrow!
Riku Nanase: Please, god!
- - - -
Momo: So this is where the graveyard
is… I think I can hear someone cheering…
[Creak]
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Momo:Whoa..!
Audience:Momo-chan!
Audience:Momo!
Momo: Hey guys! Momo-chan’s here!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: Well played, Momo-san.
Nagi Rokuya: Welcome, Mister Momo.
Momo:Hey! Wow, look at this feast!
So much yummy looking food!
Torao Mido: Ah, so about the thing
we were just talking about. Is Momo-san
gonna be the vocalist?
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Momo: Huh? The vocalist of what?
Yuki:Nope. Momo’s going to form a
unit with Tamaki-kun tomorrow.
Momo: With Tamaki?
Yuki:That’s right. The unit’s name
will be “Traitors to Their Partner”.
Audience:Ahahaha!!!
Momo:Ahaha! Look, I’m sorry about
what happened back there! Please don’t
pout, Darling..!
Yuki:You said you only had eyes
for the wolves.
Momo:And now that I’m no longer
the madman, I’m back to only having
eyes for you, forever!
Yuki:Really?
Momo:Really!
Yuki: In that case, I forgive you.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Momo: You’re so kind-hearted, Darling!
You didn’t cheat on me while I was gone
either, did you?
Audience: He did!
Momo:What!? Are you for real!?
Yuki: No, of course I didnt.
Nagi Rokuya: You must take responsibility
for what you did.
Momo: You did something to Nagi, Yuki!?
Audience:He did!
Yuki:I did not.
- - - -
Yamato Nikaido: Ah, Inumaru…
Please live, Inumaru… I’m begging you…
Yamato Nikaido: …Hmm? But,
now that I think about it…
Yamato Nikaido: If I tell everyone
I’ll read his fortune, and he turns out
to be a villager and dies, wouldn’t that
actually make me seem more sincere?
Yamato Nikaido: They’d realize that
I wasn’t lying about the others, either,
since I announced this reading ahead of
time.
Yamato Nikaido:………
Yamato Nikaido: …Sorry, Inumaru.
Yamato Nikaido: …Please get murdered…
Yamato Nikaido: And I feel bad for saying
this, I really do! …But I still want you
to die and prove my innocence…
Yamato Nikaido: You got that, wolves!?
Yamato Nikaido: Don’t tell me we’re
no longer on the same wavelength!
Yamato Nikaido: Attack Inumaru..!
Please..!
- - - -
Toma Inumaru:……….
Toma Inumaru: Why… do I feel like
someone wants me dead..?
Toma Inumaru: Maybe I’ll get attacked
tonight. Holy crap, now I’m scared.
Toma Inumaru: Still, I guess I’m a
better target than someone like Riku,
whose abilities are useful to the village…
Toma Inumaru: Sure thing, wolves.
Rather it be me than him.
Toma Inumaru: Ugh…
Toma Inumaru: I wish these nights
weren’t so long… I know I’m already
prepared to die, but maybe I should think
about this situation a little more,
just in case I live.
Toma Inumaru: Uh, as far as the
fortune-tellers go, I think Mina’s
the real deal.
Toma Inumaru: It feels like he’s
observing the situation, and nervous
about something.
Toma Inumaru: He’s got nerves of steel,
so he’s probably laying low and making
plans. He’d be acting more plucky if he
was on the offense.
Toma Inumaru: He’s an actor, so if he
was trying to lie to us, he’d be talking
a whole lot more. Kinda like Momo-san did.
Toma Inumaru: But on second thought…
He could be laying low to gain our
trust. He does have a habit of acting
all passive in a tense situation.
Toma Inumaru: Hmm…
Toma Inumaru: …No. Maybe he just
doesn’t wanna be found out.
Toma Inumaru: ………
If he’s the real fortune-teller, then
he’ll probably be mad if we don’t trust
him.
Toma Inumaru: And I don’t mean mad in
a blow up in our faces kind of way, more
like a shooting cold glares at us kind
of way…
Toma Inumaru: …Hmm? Am I saying too
much here? Now it definitely feels like
I’ll get murdered later…
Toma Inumaru: …Maybe I should do a
little poking around if I survive the
night.
Toma Inumaru: If I say that I can’t
trust him, and he starts gently trying
to convince me otherwise, then he’s
guilty for sure.
Toma Inumaru: If he gets pissed and
starts berating me, he’s innocent.
Toma Inumaru:……..
Toma Inumaru: Yeah, let’s try that.
- - - -
Mitsuki Izumi: Now that was a twist.
I didn’t think Momo-san was an impostor…
Mitsuki Izumi: Who are the wolves..?
Mitsuki Izumi: Oh, by the way. I know
I said Iori was acting weird last night,
but I don’t think he’s a wolf.
Mitsuki Izumi: He was deducing things
left and right this time. Which means
at least Yaotome, Kujo, Tsunashi-san,
Isumi, or Inumaru has to be a wolf.
Mitsuki Izumi: I don’t think it’s
Isumi… As much as that kid likes to
play the bad boy, he doesn’t seem like
a good liar.
Mitsuki Izumi: Yaotome doesn’t feel
like a wolf to me, so it’s either Inumaru
or Tsunashi-san… But Inumaru doesn’t
exactly give me wolf vibes, either…
Mitsuki Izumi: Tsunashi-san’s bad at
lying too, but he does tend to accomplish
some pretty wild stunts when he wants to.
Mitsuki Izumi: Like when we’re doing
sports, he can be really chill and
straightforward.
Mitsuki Izumi: Which is why I’m
kinda worried he might be a wolf…
Hmm…
Mitsuki Izumi: I dunno!
Who is it, seriously!?
- - - -
Gaku Yaotome: So Nanase’s the medium…
Gaku Yaotome: If I protect him, we’ll
know if Momo-san was a wolf tomorrow.
Gaku Yaotome: I know I’ve been protecting
Tenn this whole time, but tonight, it’s
probably best if I protect him instead.
…Probably.
Gaku Yaotome: Oh, right… The reason
I kept protecting Tenn was because of
what Rokuya and Nikaido said.
Gaku Yaotome: The mediums have more
value to the village than regular humans,
because they can tell who’s a wolf.
Gaku Yaotome: There’s no sense in
protecting the ordinary villagers and
leaving the mediums to fend for themselves.
Gaku Yaotome: I think so, too.
That’s why I picked Tenn, so seems
the most like the real fortune-teller
to me.
Gaku Yaotome: But the wolves keep
ignoring the fortune-tellers and
attacking regular villagers instead…
Gaku Yaotome: Did the wolves fear
Rokuya and Mido, because they considered
those two to be higher value villagers?
Gaku Yaotome: …Why? Probably
because they were smart, and had a good
understanding of how this game works.
Gaku Yaotome: But isn’t it dangerous
to let the real fortune-teller live, when
they might catch you at any moment?
Gaku Yaotome: Then again, Yotsuba’s
still alive and kicking.
Gaku Yaotome: ………
Right, Yotsuba.
Gaku Yaotome: He should’ve been
executed ages ago.
Gaku Yaotome: But then Momo-san
said Yuki-san is a wolf.
Gaku Yaotome: In that moment, the
wolves who know exactly their allies
are should’ve realized…
Gaku Yaotome: That Momo-san’s
a fake.
Gaku Yaotome: Still, by doing as
Momo-san says, the managed to delay
Yotsuba’s execution.
Gaku Yaotome: It’ll take four days
to execute all fortune-tellers, and
we’ve already gotten rid of Momo-san…
What did Mido say, again?
Gaku Yaotome: We lose if there’s
an equal number of wolves and villagers,
so our chances to execute people are…
Gaku Yaotome: One, two, three… Hmm?
Gaku Yaotome: Does this mean that if
we don’t execute Yotsuba soon, we’ll
be in trouble..?
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 8: Who Are the Wolves? ~Day 3~
Game Master: Dawn has come.
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Waaah! I’m still alive!
Gaku Yaotome: Any victims!?
Game Master: The wolves struck last
night, leaving behind one victim.
Yamato Nikaido: Uoooh! Who is it!?
Haruka Isumi: Ah! Torao’s gone!
Toma Inumaru: Wait, Tora!?
Yamato Nikaido:Mido..!!!
Iori Izumi: Mido-san was attacked!?
Yamato Nikaido: Mido..! Midoooooo..!
Why did it have to be you..!?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Did Yama-san always
like Toracchi this much!?
Toma Inumaru: Good for you, Tora…
There’s someone here to cry for you…
- - - -
Torao Mido: Aah..! I didn’t think
I’d get attacked! Goddammit!
Torao Mido: I have no idea what
the wolves are up to. And where
am I gonna end up now..?
Torao Mido: …….!
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Nagi Rokuya: Welcome!
Sogo Osaka: Well done, Mido-san.
Yuki:Hey there. We’ve got black
soybeans, if you want any.
Torao Mido: Huh..? Wait, this
is the graveyard..?
Sogo Osaka: That’s right. Isn’t
it a relief? We even get a New
Year’s feast.
Torao Mido: Wow, you’re right.
Huh. I guess it wasn’t going to be
a scary place, after all.
Audience:Torao!!!
Torao Mido: What’s up?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Audience:You’re so hot!!!
Torao Mido: Thanks. You guys
are pretty cute, too.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Torao Mido: Hmph…
Yuki:Look who’s trying to
play it cool.
Sogo Osaka: It’s fun to chat so
closely with the audience.
Nagi Rokuya: Yes, fun indeed!
Shall we talk even more?
Torao Mido: Sure, uh…
Torao Mido: You guys have any
New Year’s treats yet?
Audience: I have!
Audience:Not yet!
Audience: I had some mochi!
Audience:No, but I’d like to!
Yuki:Someone said they’d like
to eat something. Feed them.
Torao Mido: Huh?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: I don’t think we’re
allowed to go into the audience
like that…
Yuki:Aw.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Torao Mido: Okay, then. Instead of
you guys, I’ll just have to feed
Sogo here.
Sogo Osaka: Huh?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Nagi Rokuya: Oh, just listen
to those cheers.
Yuki: Feed me too, Nagi-kun.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Nagi Rokuya: I would rather…
Yuki:Not?
Nagi Rokuya: I have usually been
the one people serve, you see.
Yuki:You’re a prince, after all.
Alright then, I’ll feed you.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Torao Mido: Haha… They’re so
into this. I feel better already. You
want a piece of datemaki, Sogo?
Sogo Osaka: No, um…
The datemaki is a bit too big.
I’d rather have something the size
of that chorogi.
Torao Mido:Chorogi?
You mean this thing?
Yuki: Do you want some
chorogi too, Nagi-kun?
Nagi Rokuya: No, no, no…
Whatever that thing is, it looks like
the tiny, red drill of a small devil. I refuse
to put it anywhere near my mouth.
Sogo Osaka: Chorogi, or Chinese artichoke,
is a plant belonging to the perilla family,
and much like ginger, it’s used in medicinal
cooking. It’s said to lenghten your lifespan.
Torao Mido: …Quit talking!
I almost dropped it!
Sogo Osaka: Sorry.
Torao Mido: Mind if I hold you by
the chin while we do this?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Nagi Rokuya: Not to mention, opening
your mouth in front of an audience like this
is considered poor manners in my country…
Yuki:Just stick out your tongue, then.
I won’t mind if you make a face at me.
Nagi Rokuya: ……….
Are you ready?
Yuki: Ready as can be.
Can I hold you by the chin too, though?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Nagi Rokuya:OH... OK, OK. This is a
New Year’s party, after all.
Torao Mido: Here we go.
One, two, three…
Yuki:Pretend this is you, and
watch closely.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Torao & Yuki: Open up.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Nagi & Sogo:Nom.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Yuki: There. That’s a good boy.
Nagi Rokuya: Ugh… That was nerveracking…
Sogo Osaka: It has a nice, tingling
mouthfeel. I can almost feel it
improving my health.
Torao Mido: What is this, a food report?
You always were the conscientious type.
Yuki:Torao-kun, you’ll be our drummer.
Torao Mido:Drummer?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
Nagi Rokuya: That leaves only
our vocalist.
Sogo Osaka: 1/1 is coming together
nicely. I can’t wait for our next
member.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaaaa..!!!
- - - -
Yamato Nikaido: Ah, Mido…
Why…
Tenn Kujo: Don’t tell me,
Mido-san was the second person
whose fortune you read?
Yamato Nikaido:…Yeah…
Tenn Kujo: Don’t you think it’s a
bit too convenient that everyone whose
fortune you’ve read dies?
Yamato Nikaido: It’s not my fault
that the wolves keep killing off the
people I choose, you impostor!
Tenn Kujo: I’m the real fortune-teller.
Minami Natsume: No, that would be me.
Momo:Nope, it’s me!
Gaku Yaotome: Oh yeah, what about
the medium?
Riku Nanase: Should they come forward?
Tenn Kujo: Before that, I think
it’s best to get results from all of
the fortune-tellers. Especially since
Nikaido-san already revealed his.
Mitsuki Izumi: Good idea.
I’ll do the countdown.
Mitsuki Izumi: Three, two, one…
Mitsuki Izumi: Zero.
Tenn Kujo: I read Nanase-san’s
fortune. He’s a villager.
Minami Natsume: Iori Izumi is a villager.
Momo:Haruka Isumi is a wolf!
Haruka Isumi: Huh!?
Toma Inumaru: Haru’s a wolf!?
Haruka Isumi: N-no..!
I’m not a wolf! I swear!
Momo: Sorry, Haruka.
I saw right through you.
Riku Nanase: Wait, no!
I think he’s wrong!
Haruka Isumi: Nanase…
Iori Izumi: What do you mean,
Nanase-san?
Riku Nanase: Now that the fortune-
tellers have made their reports,
can I make mine?
Riku Nanase: I’m the medium!
Mitsuki Izumi: Oh, so it was Riku!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I’m glad our
medium was still alive! What were
Yuki-san’s results?
Riku Nanase: Yuki-san, who we executed
yesterday…
Riku Nanase: …Was a villager!
Mitsuki & Toma: What..!?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: So, Momo-san
isn’t a real fortune-teller!?
Momo:That can’t be. I’m the real deal.
Are you sure you’re not the fake here, Riku?
Riku Nanase: I’m real! And by the way,
Sogo-san was a villager, too.
Gaku Yaotome: If Nanase’s a fake, then
the real medium should step up now.
Gaku Yaotome: Last chance.
Iori Izumi: ………
Haruka Isumi:……….
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:………
It doesn’t look like anyone else
wants to claim the spot of medium.
Toma Inumaru: So Riku’s the real one…
Momo: Not necessarily. It’s always
possible that Sogo, Nagi, or Torao
was the real medium.
Momo:Don’t let this wolf fool you.
Riku Nanase: I’m not a wolf!
And I’m sure Haruka-kun isn’t
one, either!
Haruka Isumi: I’m not! Since
I don’t have any special role,
I can’t prove it…
Haruka Isumi: Still not a wolf,
though!
Tamaki Yotsuba:Isumin…
Haruka Isumi: Cut it out, Yotsuba!
Don’t look at me like we’re on the
same side!
Riku Nanase: Don’t be fooled,
guys!
Riku Nanase: This is the same
tactic Tamaki used to frame Sogo-san,
remember!?
Tamaki Yotsuba: I didn’t frame him!
I didn’t! It was an accident..!
Mitsuki Izumi: Tamaki, who’s on your
side? Momo-san or Isumi?
Tamaki Yotsuba: I’m not telling!!!
Quit looking at my face!!! It’s gonna
give you hints!
Mitsuki Izumi: What’s that
supposed to mean? Iori, what do
you make out of all of this?
Iori Izumi: I think Momo-san is lying.
Mitsuki Izumi: …How come?
Momo:Why, Iorin!?
Iori Izumi: Because the results
of your reading were incorrect.
You claimed Yuki-san was a wolf.
Riku Nanase: But he wasn’t!
Iori Izumi: I know. Let me finish.
Iori Izumi: We have four people
here, all of whom claim to be the
fortune-teller.
Iori Izumi: In other words, we have
one real fortune-teller, one madman,
one wolf, and one fox.
Iori Izumi: If Nanase-san is the
medium, and the hunter is still hiding
somewhere, then we don’t have anyone else
here who could pretend to be a fortune-teller.
Riku Nanase: I, guess..?
Iori Izumi: What’s crucial here
is the amount of wolves.
Iori Izumi: There are three wolves
in total. One is Yotsuba-san. One is
among the fortune-tellers.
Iori Izumi: But, if Momo-san is
to be believed…
Momo:………
Mitsuki Izumi: Yuki-san would be
the third… And Isumi the 4th!
That’s four wolves!
Toma Inumaru: Oooh, you’re right!
Good thinking, Izumi!
Mitsuki Izumi: Who, me?
Iori Izumi: Or me?
Toma Inumaru: Both of you!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Wow..! It feels
like we’re one step closer to solving
this mystery!
Haruka Isumi: Izumi, you’re so cool..!
Iori Izumi: Hmph… I haven’t done
anything that immpressive.
Iori Izumi:Nanase-san.
Now do you understand?
Riku Nanase:……..?
Yeah..? I guess…
Iori Izumi: Ah, it doesn’t seem
like you do… And here I thought
I could finally make you respect me.
Riku Nanase: You did great, Iori!
Iori Izumi: Stop elbowing me.
Haruka Isumi: Ugh, that was scary!
I thought my heart would stop when
he said I was a wolf.
Tenn Kujo: So, is Momo-san the
next person we execute?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I guess so.
Ah, but what about Tamaki-kun?
Iori Izumi: We can take care of
him tomorrow. Especially since his
face seems to give us hints now.
Tamaki Yotsuba: It does NOT!!!
Iori Izumi: Personally, I think
Momo-san’s schemes are a bigger
threat.
Mitsuki Izumi: I guess so.
So tonight it’s Momo-san?
Gaku Yaotome: Yeah. I can’t believe
you’d lie about Yuki-san being a
wolf like that, Momo-san.
Momo:It’s not a lie! It’s what
my fortune told me. Are you guys sure
Tamaki even is a werewolf?
Tamaki Yotsuba:I…
I’m actually a villager.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: We won’t fall
for that one… Wait, is he a wolf..?
Toma Inumaru: Don’t be fooled
just because he’s making puppy eyes.
Should we execute Yotsuba first,
after all?
Momo:Toma! Haruka’s a wolf!
Execute him, not me!
Toma Inumaru: …Don’t be fooled
by this guy, either.
Mitsuki Izumi: Let’s go with Momo-san!
We’ve got Riku to tell us if he was a
wolf.
Riku Nanase:Yeah!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: But what if
Riku-kun gets attacked tonight?
Riku Nanase: Huh..!?
Tenn Kujo: He does have a special
role, after all. Let’s hope the hunter
will have his back.
Iori Izumi: If they’re still
in our midst.
Gaku Yaotome: I dunno…
Toma Inumaru: Maybe it was Tora.
He was taking this game pretty
seriously.
Minami Natsume: Perhaps so…
Is there anyone whose fortune you’d
like me to read?
Haruka Isumi: You take requests?
Minami Natsume: Of course. I want
to give this village information
that’ll benefit us all.
Yamato Nikaido: Same here.
Tenn Kujo: And here.
Tenn Kujo: I’ve been keeping quiet
in order to avoid suspicion, but…
Tenn Kujo: Don’t forget my results.
Nanase-san and Gaku are confirmed to
be villagers.
Minami Natsume: We cannot trust an
imposter’s readings. Isumi-san and
Iori Izumi are villagers.
Momo:Yuki and Haruka are wolves,
I tell you!
Haruka Isumi: I am not! What were
your results again, Nikaido-san?
Yamato Nikaido:………
Nagi and Mido were villagers…
Haruka Isumi: That’s not exactly
new information… Since everyone
who gets attacked is sure to be
a villager.
Yamato Nikaido: Fine. So give
me someone whose fortune to read
tonight.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: What, right now!?
I’m not sure if we have the time.
Iori Izumi: Why not have the
fortune-tellers read each other?
Yamato Nikaido: I considered it,
but it’d just devolve into us calling
each other wolves.
Iori Izumi: But you could also
kill the fox.
Minami Natsume: I thought our
plan was to execute all fortune-tellers
as a last resort?
Minami Natsume: As the true fortune-teller,
I’d like for the village to have as much
information as possible.
Iori Izumi:…Right.
Minami Natsume: If it’s alright
by you all, I’ll read Mitsuki Izumi’s
fortune.
Mitsuki Izumi: Me? Uh, thanks.
Tenn Kujo: If nobody’s got any special
requests, I’ll read Ryu. Is that okay?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I don’t mind.
I’ve got nothing to hide.
Yamato Nikaido: I feel like reading
people’s fortunes at random isn’t gonna
help us much… Fine, I’ll read Inumaru.
Toma Inumaru: Got it. I’m not
afraid of fortune reads, anyway.
Riku Nanase: Does everyone have
a target now?
Tenn Kujo: Yes, but you should
only trust mine.
Minami Natsume: Pay no heed to
fortunes other than mine.
Yamato Nikaido: Inumaru…
Please don’t die… I’m serious…
Toma Inumaru: Uh, okay.
Mitsuki Izumi: It’d be pretty funny
if you were the real fortune-teller and the
wolves just kept killing everyone whose
fortune you read.
Yamato Nikaido: Give me a break already…
Those wolves and I think way too alike.
Minami Natsume: Or so you say.
Iori Izumi: By the way, everyone.
Who do you think is the real fortune-teller?
Riku Nanase: I think it’s Te… Tenn Kujo.
Iori Izumi: I think it’s Yamato Nikaido.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I think it’s
probablyTenn Kujo…
Haruka Isumi: Huh? Why are we all
using their full names?
Toma Inumaru: What do yo think, Haru?
Haruka Isumi: Minami Natsume… is the
one I’d like to trust, but Tenn Kujoseems
like he might be real, too.
Toma Inumaru: I see… They all
seem pretty authentic to me. What
about you, Yotsuba?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Me? Uh…
Tenn Kujo: You’re a wolf, though.
Toma Inumaru: Oh, right!
Momo: Ask me, too!
Toma Inumaru: It’s about time for
you to leave, actually.
Momo:Nuuuuu! I wanna stay wif u guise!
Tenn Kujo: Have fun reuniting with
Yuki-san on the graveyard.
Mitsuki Izumi: And don’t get into
a fight, you hear?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Tell So-chan
I said hi!
Momo: Waaaah! I’m sad that I have to go,
but on the other hand, joining Yuki in
death will prove our love to you all!
Momo:And we’re closer friends than MEZZO"!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yeah, well, I’m gonna
die soon too..!
- - - -
Game Master: And the result of the
vote is…
Game Master: Momo will be executed.
Game Master: Night has fallen.
Game Master: The loser of the vote
will be taken to the execution site.
Game Master: The wolves must select
their prey.
Game Master: The fortune-teller must
select whose fortune to read, and the
hunter must decide who to protect.
Game Master: As for all the others,
they can only hold their breath and
wait for this frightful night to end…
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 7: Nighttime Stategy Meetings ~Day 2~
Iori Izumi: Phew… Momo-san…
Tenn Kujo: He’s really something…
Iori Izumi: He’s almost too good
at his job…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Guys, are we sure
Yukirin’s not a wolf, too?
Iori Izumi: Yes, obviously. Momo-san
was only trying to protect you.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Huh!? Me!?
Tenn Kujo: Momo-san’s most likely
the madman. That’s why he framed Yuki-san,
so you could escape execution a second time.
Tenn Kujo: Tomorrow, he’ll ask to be
executed, meaning you’ll still be alive
by the day after tomorrow.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Momorin really did
all that for me..!?
Iori Izumi: It’s practically a
miracle that you’re still alive, after
your little coming out on the first day.
Momo-san’s done everything he can to
keep you alive.
Iori Izumi: You should face his
direction and say “thank you”,
at least.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Wait, where is
he!? Momorin, thanks a lot!!!
Iori Izumi: Thank you.
Tenn Kujo: Thank you very much,
Momo-san. To think that you’d
even sacrifice Yuki-san…
Tamaki Yotsuba: I wonder if
Yukirin’s mad. Also, does this mean
I don’t get to go to the graveyard
tomorrow, either?
Iori Izumi: Is that a problem?
Tamaki Yotsuba: It’s just…
I really wanna apologize to
So-chan soon…
Tenn Kujo: Yotsuba-san.
Two or three days don’t make that
much of a difference here.
Tenn Kujo: He’ll be equally angry
at you regardless.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Aaaah, I guess…
Okay! I’m gonna live the life I got
from Re:vale to my fullest!
Iori Izumi: That’s the spirit.
So, who shall we kill tonight?
Tenn Kujo: Maybe Mido-san…
With all the calculations he’s been
making, he’ll notice if the villagers’
numbers start getting low.
Iori Izumi: I think so, too.
He’ll be a dangerous player if he
gets too used to this.
Tamaki Yotsuba: But Toracchi seemed
pretty reliable to me. Like, I think
he’s probably one of the good guys.
Iori Izumi: And someone who’s
a “good guy” to the villagers is an
enemy to us.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Oh, right.
Tenn Kujo: Nikaido-san is probably
the real fortune-teller. When he tried
to cover for Yuki-san, he seemed really
protective of the village in general.
Iori Izumi: That’s right.
Nikaido-san is a sincere person
at heart.
Tenn Kujo: The fact that he gave
up on his defense to protect himself
also tells me that he’s the real deal.
Iori Izumi: That’s right.
Nikaido-san is also very quick
to give up.
Iori Izumi: His primary enemies
right now are you, Momo-san, and
Natsume-san….
Iori Izumi: …And he doesn’t have
much faith in himself, so he must
be very disheartened right now.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yeah. Even though
he’s done a pretty good job of being
our group’s leader.
Tenn Kujo: I’m sure Nikaido-san could
never have foreseen that his teammates
would be saying this about him, just
because he was chosen as the fortune-
teller in a game of werewolf.
Tenn Kujo: I suppose that leaves
Natsume-san as the fox, then.
Tamaki Yotsuba: He’s totally
got a fox vibe.
Iori Izumi: He does seem like
he’d like inari sushi.
Tenn Kujo: Hopefully he’ll be
cursed by Nikaido-san.
Tamaki Yotsuba: What about the
medium? If it’s Rikkun, then shouldn’t
we attack him?
Tamaki Yotsuba: If he’s dead,
nobody will know that Yukirin was
a villager.
Iori Izumi: It’ll be more beneficial
to us if we let Momo-san be caught in
a lie and get executed.
Tenn Kujo: Otherwise, it’ll be you
hanging at the end of the next
rope, Yotsuba-san.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Oh, right. That
was part of Momorin’s plan, too.
Thanks again, Momorin…
Iori Izumi: Besides, if we kill
Nanase-san before he has a chance to
play the part of the medium, he’ll most
likely complain to us later.
Tenn Kujo: Yeah, probably…
Iori Izumi: He’ll say something along
the lines of “Iori, you meanie! Waaahh!”
Tamki Yotsuba: Huh? And what’s that
got to do with the game?
Iori Izumi:Nothing.
Tamaki Yotsuba: And So-chan’s
already mad at me, anyway!
Iori Izumi: No, he’s not.
Osaka-san is more reasonable than that.
Tenn Kujo: I’m sure he’ll understand.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Really!? Hey…
Just in case he’s mad, can you
apologize to him with me..?
Iori Izumi: No, he’s too scary.
Tamaki Yotsuba:Iorin!?
Tenn Kujo: Our prey for the night
is Mido-san. As for my fortune reading,
this time I’ll say that Nanase-san is a
villager.
Iori Izumi: Understood.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Got it…
- - - -
Yuki: Huh… This place is warmer
than I expected…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Nagi Rokuya: Welcome, Mister Yuki!
Sogo Osaka: Welcome. Good work out there.
Yuki:Ah, so this is what the graveyard
looks like.
Yuki: They’ve even brought food.
Looks delicious.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Audience:Yuki!
Audience: Look over here!
Yuki:Where?
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yuki:Wanna look at my beauty mark?
Let me just get my hair out of the way,
so you can all see.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Nagi Rokuya: You must have had
it very rough, Mister Yuki. Mister
Momo is a skilled player indeed!
Yuki:Did you guys see that?
Just how did Momo get so good
at lying?
Sogo Osaka: I don’t know.
Yuki:Sigh… He wasn’t always
like that. Showbiz changes people.
…Well that, and being friends with
a certain fox-faced guy.
Audience: You mean Minami-kun?
Yuki:Minami..?
Nagi Rokuya: Natsume-shi is the fox.
Yuki: I had no idea.
Audience: Hang in there, Yuki!
Yuki:I can’t. I’m already dead.
Audience:Ahahahaha!
Sogo Osaka: Ah, what would you
like to drink? We have wine… or
sake, if you’d prefer.
Yuki:We’re allowed to drink? Well,
since it’s the New Year, a nice,
refined sake should do.
Sogo Osaka: I’ll pour you a cup.
Here you are.
Yuki:You’re so nice, Sogo-kun.
Should we form a unit together?
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yuki: Nagi-kun, you too.
Nagi Rokuya: What shall we
call ourselves?
Yuki:What do you think, Sogo-kun?
Sogo Osaka: Um, well…
Sogo Osaka: “January First”?
Audience:Ahahahaha!
Sogo Osaka: Ah… They’re laughing.
Nagi Rokuya: OH! January First.
A name that will always remind us
of the day we were formed. Very nice!
Yuki:We can shorten it to 1/1.
Okay. And what instruments will we
all play? You look like you could
play the keyboard, Nagi-kun.
Sogo Osaka: Ah, so it’s more of
a band. Um… I’m not sure… My
hands are getting sweaty…
Yuki:Really?
Sogo Osaka:Eek..!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yuki:Ah, I guess you’re right.
And what’s with the “eek”, silly?
Sogo Osaka: Nagi-kun, Nagi-kun.
Nagi Rokuya: What?
Sogo Osaka: I’m sober again.
Nagi Rokuya: Thank you for
letting me know.
Audience:Ahahahaha!
Nagi Rokuya: I will play the keyboard.
Will you play the guitar, Sogo?
Sogo Osaka: I wouldn’t dare, not
with Yuki-san here!
Yuki:It’s fine, I’ll be the bassist.
Bass players are typically the sexiest
members of the band, anyway.
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: I’m sure you’d be a
very cool and sexy bassist..!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: I’ll… play the guitar,
then. Oh, man… My heart won’t stop
racing.
Yuki: Whoa, I can feel your pulse
just by touching your wrist.
Yuki:Thump, thump, thumpthumpthump.
Sogo Osaka: It’s really irregular…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Yuki:I don’t know why you
sound so happy about it.
Sogo Osaka: I thought my heartbeat
could play the drums for us. It’s
clearly got a unique rhythm.
Nagi Rokuya: Are you sure that is
not caused by the alcohol?
Audience:Ahahahaha!
Nagi Rokuya: OH! But before we
choose a vocalist, let us check in
on the others!
- - - -
Yamato Nikaido:Ah…
Yamato Nikaido: I should’ve left
Yuki-san to fend for himself…
Either that, or actually followed
through with helping him.
Yamato Nikaido: Instead, I half-assed
both. No wonder people suspect me…
Yamato Nikaido: I have to say,
Momo-san is freaking scary. Who just
throws their own partner under the bus
like that? I mean, seriously…
Yamato Nikaido: Then again…
Maybe it’s because they’re Re:vale
that they can do that, and just forgive
and forget it all later.
Yamato Nikaido: Still, they’re
really something…
Yamato Nikaido: Alright. This time,
I’ll find a wolf! Or at least a villager
who won’t die right away!
Yamato Nikaido: If my reading finds
a live villager, I’ll do everything
I can to keep them alive!
Yamato Nikaido: I’ll protect you,
whether you want me to or not..!
Yamato Nikaido: On that note, I’ll
read Mido’s fortune. He’s seemed like
a villager so far, but he’d also make
a pretty scary wolf. …Wait, didn’t
I say that about Nagi last night?
Yamato Nikaido: Hmm… No, I’ll
go with Mido. There’s no way he’ll
get attacked.
Yamato Nikaido: If he does, I guess
I’ll have to marry whichever wolf chose
him. We’re clearly on the same wavelength.
Yamato Nikaido: I’m counting on
you, Mido..!
- - - -
Torao Mido: One, two, three…
We’re really cutting it close, huh.
Torao Mido: If we’re gonna
execute all the fortune-tellers,
we have to start doing it as soon
as we execute Yotsuba tomorrow.
Torao Mido: If the hunter succeeds
in protecting someone, that gives
us an extra day.
Torao Mido: But with four fortune-
tellers running around, I bet the hunter’s
having a really hard time choosing who to
shield… It’d be easier if the medium
came forward already.
Torao Mido: …Oh, I get it now.
So that’s who the wolves are.
Interesting.
Torao Mido: Among the fortune-tellers,
we’ve got one real one, one madman,
one wolf, and one fox.
Torao Mido: Momo-san could be the
real one, but if he’s not, that makes
him either a wolf or the madman.
Torao Mido: The reason why he’s
making these bold plays could be
because he knows he’s got allies
he can count on.
Torao Mido: Meanwhile, the fox plays
alone. They lose automatically if
they die, so they can’t do anything
reckless.
Torao Mido: If Yuki-san was a wolf,
then Nikaido should be our next suspect.
But if Yuki-san was a villager, Nikaido is
probably the real fortune-teller.
Torao Mido: In the first scenario,
he defended Yuki-san because he didn’t
want a fellow wolf to be out of the game.
In the second scenario, he defended Yuki-san
because he didn’t want a fellow villager
to be out of the game.
Torao Mido: Why do you think Nikaido
did what he did?
Torao Mido: Minami’s…
Torao Mido: …Probably the fox…
He’s been awfully quiet this whole time.
It’s like he’s trying to lie low.
Torao Mido: Haha, what a scary guy.
He’s like a snake, waiting to swallow
a toad whole.
Torao Mido: All things considered, we
should probably execute him, but I don’t
wanna be the one to suggest it…
Torao Mido: He’s sure to claim
that I’m a wolf if I do… I know
him well enough to know that’s
something he’ll do.
Torao Mido: Either way, it all
depends on Yuki-san’s results. If
he’s a villager, then I’ll try to
help bail Nikaido out.
Torao Mido: Or at least convince
the others that he’s the last fortune-
teller we should kill.
- - - -
Momo:Phew…
Momo:God, I have fulfilled
my duty. A weight has been lifted
off my heart.
Momo: I’ll join you soon enough,
Yuki.
Momo:Don’t get too friendly
with the other graveyard boys
while I’m gone, mmkay?
Momo: I hope I’ll at least get
executed before Tamaki tomorrow.
Momo:All I need is to draw
attention to myself, so they’ll
forget about him.
Momo:My dear wolfies, may you
feast on a most delectable villager
tonight! Don’t lose to those darn
humans!
Momo: I have your back!
- - - -
Minami Natsume: Still alive.
Minami Natsume: Yip yip.
Minami Natsume: Ugh… I wonder
who the true fortune-teller is…
Minami Natsume: The one man who
can kill me… I do hope they get
executed or attacked soon…
Minami Natsume: Dear wolves,
please sink your teeth into whoever
the real fortune-teller is soon.
Signed, Fox Spirit.
Minami Natsume: Perhaps it’s
Nikaido-san. He didn’t seem to be
acting earlier. Neither did Yuki-san…
Minami Natsume: As for me, tomorrow
I will proclaim someone confident and
logical, such as Iori Izumi or Mido-san,
as a villager.
Minami Natsume: …But which one..?
Minami Natsume: Izumi-san it is.
Minami Natsume: Congratulations on
being chosen by me.
- - - -
Mitsuki Izumi: Considering how
confident he was back there, Momo-san’s
gotta be the real fortune-teller…
Mitsuki Izumi: I mean, why would he
lie, when he knows we’ll find out
tomorrow, anyway?
Mitsuki Izumi: He’d just get executed next.
Mitsuki Izumi: The fact that he’s
not afraid at all must mean that
he’s telling the truth.
Mitsuki Izumi: Hmm… The geezer seemed
genuine, too. Then again, he’s always
been a great actor.
Mitsuki Izumi: I wish I could play
it cool and say that I can see
through my own teammates, but…
Mitsuki Izumi: With Yamato-san,
you can never be completely sure…
Mitsuki Izumi: …At least not when
you take his track record into account.
But, still… Hmm…
Mitsuki Izumi: If it turns out he can
even fake being all flustered, like he
was back there, then I won’t know what
to believe anymore.
Mitsuki Izumi: This is hard…
Something’s off here… Ah, speaking
of which.
Mitsuki Izumi: Iori.
Mitsuki Izumi: Is it just my
imagination, or has he been acting
weird?
Mitsuki Izumi: I thought he’d be more
active in a game that makes you use
your brains as much as this one.
Mitsuki Izumi: Maybe he’s trying
not to hog the spotlight, because
there’s so many players?
Mitsuki Izumi: I should keep an
eye on him tomorrow.
- - - -
Gaku Yaotome:………
Gaku Yaotome: …Is Momo-san
the real one?
Gaku Yaotome: The wolves went after
Rokuya, instead of the fortune-tellers.
Gaku Yaotome: Are they gonna go
after someone else tonight, too?
Who should I protect..?
Gaku Yaotome:………
Gaku Yaotome: After Rokuya, their
next target would be…
Gaku Yaotome: No, but if I fail
to protect Tenn this round, I’ll
regret it for the rest of my life.
Gaku Yaotome: I’ll protect Tenn,
since that was my original plan.
Gaku Yaotome: Come at me, wolves!
To be continued…
~LIVE or HEAVEN~ Part 6: Who Are the Wolves? ~Day 2~
Game Master: Dawn has come.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:Morning…
Toma Inumaru: Good morning…
Game Master: The wolves struck last
night, leaving behind one victim.
Momo: Who died?
Tenn Kujo: The only person who
isn’t here…
Mitsuki Izumi: Nagi!
Yamato Nikaido: Ah..! Nagi..!
Torao Mido: So the hunter didn’t
protect Rokuya, after all!?
Gaku Yaotome: Hunter…
Minami Natsume: The fact that he was
killed confirms him as a villager.
Iori Izumi: Osaka-san and Rokuya-san…
Two members of IDOLiSH7 have disappeared
from this village.
Haruka Isumi: I wonder where they
go after they die…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Thrown outside,
or into boiling hot water…
- - - -
Nagi Rokuya:OH..! I was attacked!
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: Welcome, Nagi-kun.
Nagi Rokuya: OH! Hi, girls!
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Audience:Nagi!
Audience:Nagi-kun..!
Nagi Rokuya: Have I gone to heaven?
Sogo Osaka: Hehehe… Look, we
have a New Year’s feast.
Nagi Rokuya:OH…Sogo…
Is that a sake cup in your hand?
You know alcohol is a dangerous
substance for you.
Sogo Osaka: Don’t worry about it.
Audience:Ahahaha!
Sogo Osaka: This isn’t a cup, it’s more
of a jug. And I’m only drinking amazake,
so it’s fine.
Nagi Rokuya: And yet, you seem
awfully energetic…
Sogo Osaka: That’s because it’s
New Year’s day! Right, everyone?
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: Hehe. Cute.
You’re all so cute.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Nagi Rokuya: Agreed. Hi! Show me your
best smiles, to commemorate the year!
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Audience:Nagi, I love you..!
Audience:You’re so handsome..!
Nagi Rokuya: Oh, how incredible
this feels. I am glad to have died.
Audience:Ahahaha!
Nagi Rokuya: By the way, who
were the wolves?
Sogo Osaka: Here, we can check
using this remote. Ah… It looks
like we can’t watch the daytime
portions of the game.
Nagi Rokuya: Did you see the
wolves’ meeting?
Sogo Osaka: Yes. The wolves were
Tamaki-kun, Iori-kun, and Kujo-san.
Nagi Rokuya:OH! Kujo-shi. And
what of the hunter? Who were they,
and who did they protect?
Sogo Osaka: Yaotome-san is the
hunter. He protected Kujo-san.
Nagi Rokuya:OH! Shielding the enemy…
Sogo Osaka: Typical TRIGGER.
They care for their teammates.
Sogo Osaka: Compared to them,
MEZZO" was, well…
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Nagi Rokuya: I am sure Tamaki will
be here by tonight. Let us await
his arrival.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Nagi was so reliable…
I hope he’s having fun with Sogo-san,
at least.
Torao Mido: Minami, what’s the
result of your fortune?
Minami Natsume: Shall I announce
it right away?
Iori Izumi: We should hold another
countdown for the results, so it’ll
be harder for the fake fortune-tellers
to lie.
Mitsuki Izumi: Won’t it make the
results harder to hear, if they’re all
speaking at the same time?
Iori Izumi: We’ll have them repeat
their results afterwards. As long as
we make sure that they don’t change
their statements halfway, we should
be fine.
Torao Mido: It’ll be twice as much
effort, but I suppose it’s better than
letting the fakes wait it out and come
up with lies that suit them.
Mitsuki Izumi: Got it. I’ll do
the countdown, then.
Mitsuki Izumi: Three, two, one…
Mitsuki Izumi: Zero.
Tenn Kujo: I read Gaku’s fortune.
He’s a villager.
Momo:Yuki’s a wolf.
Yamato Nikaido: Nagi was a villager.
Minami Natsume: Isumi-san is a villager.
Gaku Yaotome: Wait, what!?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Ah… Huh!?
Iori Izumi: A wolf!?
Haruka Isumi: Ah, he read mine…
Wait, what wolf?
Mitsuki Izumi: Momo-san, did you
just say you found a wolf?
Momo: Yep. Yuki’s a wolf.
Yuki:………
Gaku Yaotome: Care to explain
yourself, Yuki-san?
Yuki:Who, me?
Momo: Yikes! I can’t believe you
were a wolf all along, Yuki!
Momo:Here I thought I’d expose you
as a fellow villager, so we could live
out our romantic village life together!
Yuki:I’m not a wolf, though.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: So, is Momo-san
lying?
Mitsuki Izumi: They can’t both be
telling the truth, that’s for sure…
Yuki:Wow, Momo…
Yuki:So that’s your game.
Momo:Stop it, Yuki…
Don’t look at me like that..!
Yuki:Oh, okay then…
Momo: When you make that face, you
make me want to hide the results of
my readings, even though I’m this
town’s one and only fortune-teller!
Momo:Oh, I wish a wolf would
just come and kill me now!
Yuki:Momo. Look me in the eye,
and say it one more time.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Momo:Stop it..! If you come any
closer, I’ll want to defend you..!
Toma Inumaru: I’d rather you just
did your job, truth be told.
Audience:Ahahahaha!
Momo: Waaaaah! Our love has become
forbidden! Re:vale has been torn
apart by the wolves!
Yuki:Why you… I’ll get you
for this…
Riku Nanase: Yuki-san, please
don’t get mad! Look how sad you’re
making Momo-san!
Mitsuki Izumi: Exactly! You’ll just
have to let us execute you today.
Yuki:You’re kidding, right?
Yamato Nikaido: Wait…
Yamato Nikaido: Don’t you guys
think you’re jumping the gun a
little..?
Mitsuki Izumi: What do you mean,
geezer?
Yamato Nikaido: I’m… pretty sure
Yuki-san’s a villager.
Gaku Yaotome: How can you tell?
It’s not like you read his fortune,
Nikaido.
Yamato Nikaido: Yeah, but…
I’m still the real fortune-teller.
Yamato Nikaido: To me, whoever gets
called out as a wolf by the other ones
is probably just a victim of their
schemes, or something…
Yuki: Oh, nice going, Yamato-kun.
C'mon, keep talking. I know you can
protect me.
Momo:Nope, I’m the real fortune-teller.
How can we be sure that you’re not
just trying to look out for one of
your fellow wolves, Yamato?
Yamato Nikaido: Wait, no, I’m not
a wolf! Okay, fine. We can execute
Yuki-san tonight.
Yuki:Yamato-kun!?
Torao Mido: You sure changed your
tune quickly… Didn’t you read Rokuya’s
fortune, Nikaido?
Yamato Nikaido: Yeah…
Torao Mido: Claiming that you
confirmed one of the people that died
as a villager is just about the easiest
lie you could tell…
Yamato Nikaido:………
Mitsuki Izumi: Still, Yamato-san did
suspect Nagi a lot yesterday, so it’s
not that unusual for him to want to
try doing a reading on him.
Torao Mido: Good point.
Yuki:Yamato-kun. C'mon.
Yamato Nikaido:………
Yuki:You can do it. C'moooon.
Yamato Nikaido: …Actually, feel
free to hang this guy.
Yuki:What!?
Yamato Nikaido: I thought we might
be going after an innocent man, but
on second thought, he could totally
be a wolf…
Yamato Nikaido: There’s also a
possibility that he’s the fox, and
honestly, I’d rather it be him than me.
Yuki: …I see…
Yamato Nikaido:………
Yamato Nikaido: Or maybe he IS a
villager!? He’s kinda giving me big
villager vibes right now…
Gaku Yaotome: This is really tough!
Especially since these two are both
actors.
Minami Natsume: When they join
forces, they’re a formidable foe
indeed…
Yamato Nikaido: We haven’t joined
forces, I swear. I wouldn’t want
anything to do with him, anyway.
Momo: I can’t believe Yuki’s been
seeing other people behind my back!
I’m sooooo jealous right now..!
Yuki: I’m pretty damn jealous that my
partner’s been taken from me by the
wolves too, just so you know.
Audience:Kyaaaaaaa..!
Torao Mido: So let me get this
straight. Yotsuba, Nikaido, and Yuki-san
are all in cahoots with each other?
Yamato Nikaido: We are NOT in cahoots,
I repeat, NOT in cahoots. Please just
hang this guy already.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Uh, hold on.
Can I ask something?
Yamato Nikaido: Shut it, wolf boy.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Quit calling me
wolf boy!!!
Tamaki Yotsuba: So, we’re executing
Yukirin tonight? Not me?
Momo: I’d rather we start with
Yuki, and here’s why.
Momo:Unless Sogo or Nagi was the
medium, we still have one left in
this village.
Momo: I’ve exposed Yuki as a wolf,
so we can execute him tonight. Tomorrow
morning, the medium can confirm whether
he was a villager or not.
Momo:I can confidently say
that Yuki’s a wolf.
Momo: If the medium can confirm
that I’m right, then you’ll all have
an easier time trusting me, too.
Momo:It’s going to give us a better
idea of who’s who. I mean, it’s not like
we have to execute Tamaki to know if he’s
a wolf or not, but with Yuki, we can’t
be sure yet.
Iori Izumi: I suppose… It certainly
would be nice to have the extra information.
Gaku Yaotome: It’ll also let us know
if Momo-san’s lying or not.
Momo:Exactly. And that’s why
I want us to hang Yuki before Tamaki.
What do you all think?
Haruka Isumi: …I’m fine with it.
I kinda feel like I can trust you
anyway, Momo-san.
Momo:Thanks. I’m sure you’ll
trust me even more tomorrow morning!
Haruka Isumi: Okay!
Torao Mido: I just hope the medium
is still alive. They haven’t come
forward yet.
Tenn Kujo: Judging by the fact that
they haven’t, Osaka-san must’ve
been a villager.
Momo:Maybe. I definitely hope
they’re still kicking, or else we
won’t know be able to confirm that
Yuki’s a wolf tomorrow.
Toma Inumaru: So… Yuki-san’s getting
executed tonight?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: If it’s between
him and Tamaki-kun, then I guess so…
I’m curious to see the results of
this execution, myself.
Yuki:Ryunosuke-kun…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I’m sorry,
Yuki-san…
Torao Mido: Oh, by the way.
I calculated exactly how many times
we can accidentally execute a villager
last night, so I thought I’d let you
all know.
Torao Mido: We’ve got three wolves and
one fox. That’s four monsters in total.
Five, if we count the madman as well.
Torao Mido: If we fail to execute
even a single monster, then we have
five days until we have the same number
of players on both sides, and the
villagers lose.
Toma Inumaru: Really!? And we’re
already on our second day…
Torao Mido: We have until the
day after tomorrow to execute at
least Yotsuba.
Yuki:I’m impressed you
actually thought that far.
Mitsuki Izumi: That’s the kind of
math you’d be good at too, Iori.
Did you think about this at all?
Iori Izumi: More or less. Since
we’ve still got plenty of days left,
I think we should execute Yuki-san
tonight.
Torao Mido: If we’re going to
execute every fortune-teller, then
we really don’t have that much time
left.
Torao Mido: The madman counts as
a villager, but they’ll vote in the wolves’
favor, so we’ve got to be careful.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Hopefully we’ll
know if Momo-san’s telling the truth
tomorrow, and things will get easier!
Gaku Yaotome: Yeah!
Iori Izumi: Failure will have
disastrous consequences. Let’s all
be on our guard.
Riku Nanase: Yeah. Well then,
Yuki-san. We hate to do this, but…
Yuki:I see…
Yuki:……….
Yuki: I’ve lived in this village
for over 20 years now… And I’ve
shared so many memories with you all.
Mitsuki Izumi: Looks like he’s
starting some kinda monologue.
Yamato Nikaido: Or a one man
play, even.
Yuki: I’ll never forget the time
we all sang “miss you…” at the foot
of that big tree on the hill.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Why’d we all
sing that song, anyway..?
Torao Mido: I guess we were all
dealing with an unrequited love at
the same time..?
Momo:I’ll never forget it
either, Yuki…
Yuki:Tonight, you’ll hang me.
Yet despite knowing this, I can’t
condemn you.
Yuki: Listen well, my dear pupils.
Tenn Kujo: Oh, so he’s a teacher now.
Toma Inumaru: Seems that way.
Riku Nanase: Don’t go, Mr. Yuki!!!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:Sir..!
Mitsuki Izumi: We don’t want you to die!
Yuki:Thank you. You always did
go along with my jokes.
Yuki:Tomorrow morning…
Yuki: You’ll know true fear.
Yuki: But you mustn’t lose courage,
if you are to continue protecting
the village.
Mitsuki Izumi: Mr. Yuki..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Mr. Yuki..!!!
Iorin, Isumin, you guys say it too!
Haruka Isumi: M-Mr. Yuki..!
Iori Izumi: …Mr. Yuki..!
Yuki:Farewell.
Yuki:Adieu.
[Whistle]

Game Master: And the result of the
vote is…
Game Master: Yuki will be executed.
Game Master: Night has fallen.
Game Master: The loser of the vote
will be taken to the execution site.
Game Master: The wolves must select
their prey.
Game Master: The fortune-teller must
select whose fortune to read, and the
hunter must decide who to protect.
Game Master: As for all the others,
they can only hold their breath and
wait for this frightful night to end…
Yuki:…Momo…
Yuki:You make a terrifying enemy…
But that’s just another thing I love
about you.
Yuki:Ah… Some kind of scary guys
are here to get me… Oh no…
Yuki:Ugh… I hope it’s not
cold outside…

Sogo Osaka:…Tamaki-kun…
Sogo Osaka: Ah, you are…
Sogo Osaka: Wha..!? Where are
you taking me!?
Sogo Osaka: I’m not a wolf..!
[Door slams]
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: Aaaaaaah…!!!
So-chan, I’m so sorry..!
Tenn Kujo: Nicely done, Yotsuba-san.
Iori Izumi: Nicely done indeed.
Tamaki Yotsuba: No! I didn’t mean to!
Iori Izumi: I wasn’t sure what to do
when you accidentally outed yourself
as a wolf, but then you whined your
way into being spared…
Iori Izumi: But what truly amazed
me was that you managed to sic the
executioners at Osaka-san instead.
Tenn Kujo: It really was something.
Tamaki Yotsuba: It wasn’t on purpose..!!!
I only said I was sorry to him because
I didn’t read up on the rules like
I promised to!!!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Aw, man…
He’s probably really bothered by that…
Or really mad…
Iori Izumi: Have fun trying to
resurrect MEZZO"’s working relationship
in the graveyard. Maybe if you start
crying again, he’ll forgive you.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Okay…
Tenn Kujo: So, who will we kill?
Iori Izumi: I believe Rokuya-san to
be our only option. What about you,
Kujo-san?
Tenn Kujo: Rokuya-san. He’s so
good at this, it’s scary.
Iori Izumi: Agreed. If we don’t
force him off his throne, we wolves
won’t have a fighting chance.
Tenn Kujo: We should also be worried
about the hunter. Do you think they’ll
protect him?
Iori Izumi: Thanks to Nikaido-san,
the hunter will most likely protect
one of the fortune-tellers.
Tenn Kujo: Did anyone give you
hunter vibes?
Iori Izumi: Mido-san. He was acting
a bit too assertive.
Tenn Kujo: Mido-san, huh.
Your thoughts, Yotsuba-san?
Tamaki Yotsuba: I dunno. But
Rikkun’s acting kinda sus.
Iori Izumi: I agree.
Tenn Kujo: I thought so, too.
But since he hasn’t been acting very
nervous…
Iori Izumi: Right. He seems to have
something he wants to say, but he’s
content to bide his time for now…
Iori, Tamaki, & Tenn: ……….
Iori Izumi: He might be the medium…
Tenn Kujo: Yeah, I could see that…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Should we kill him off first?
Iori Izumi: Hmm…
……………………
…No, we’ll kill Rokuya-san.
Tenn Kujo: Why? If we let him and
Nikaido-san feud for a while, they
might finish each other off for us.
Iori Izumi: That’s only assuming things
will go our way. If they start co-operating,
they’ll both become more difficult to
deal with.
Iori Izumi: If we let Rokuya-san
take command even more than he already
has, the villagers will transform from a
peaceful flock of sheep into a powerful
anti-wolf taskforce.
Tenn Kujo: Good point…
They’ll learn how to find wolves much
better.
Tamaki Yotsuba: So we’re killing Nagicchi.
Tenn Kujo: I’ll pretend to do a reading
on Gaku, and announce that he’s human
tomorrow.
Tenn Kujo: It’ll help to have the
trust of someone as confident as him.
Tenn Kujo: If I confirm his innocence
to others, he’ll have a better impression
of me, and I’ll become the fortune-
teller he roots for.
Iori Izumi:Understood.
Iori Izumi: Yotsuba-san, if the
hunter manages to protect our prey
tonight, you should announce that
you’re the hunter tomorrow.
Tamaki Yotsuba: What for? It’s
not like anyone’s gonna believe me.
Iori Izumi: It’s a gamble. If you
claim their role, the real hunter might
panic and confess their identity.
Tenn Kujo: Also, you should continue
begging for the others to spare you.
Good luck trying to survive.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Okay. I’ll try…
Iori Izumi: Even if you fail and get
executed, do NOT apologize to us.
Tamaki Yotsuba:‘Kay…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Ugh… So-chan…
I wanna go to where he is soon so
I can apologize…
Tenn Kujo: Don’t worry. You’re bound
to be executed soon enough, and I’m
sure you can talk things over with
him in the graveyeard.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Now that he’s over
there and I’m over here… My chest
kinda hurts…
Iori Izumi: That’s rich, coming from
the one who made sure he’s no longer
among the living.
Tenn Kujo: If I was Osaka-san,
I’d definitely come back to haunt you.
- - - -
Sogo Osaka: It’s so dark…
Where am I..?
Sogo Osaka: Ah… A door opened…
- - - -
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka:Ah…
Sogo Osaka: This place isn’t scary at all!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: I didn’t know we had
an audience here, too.
Audience:So-chan!
Audience:Sogo-san, you did great..!
Sogo Osaka: Thank you. I’m sorry I got
executed so soon…
Audience:It’s okay!
Audience:Don’t worry about it!
Sogo Osaka: Haha… You’re all so nice.
Ah, and they even have a New Year’s
feast here!
Sogo Osaka: I’m almost glad I got executed
now… Tamaki-kun will love all this food.
Sogo Osaka: Speaking of Tamaki-kun…
I can’t believe he chose that timing
to apologize…
Sogo Osaka: It… It kind of feels
like my execution was his fault…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: Wait… You’re happy
about that? I see… I guess it’s
fine, then…
Sogo Osaka: Happy New Year.
Audience: Happy New Year!
Audience:Happy New Year to you, too!
Sogo Osaka: Ah, they even have miki
sake… And amazake… Am I allowed
to drink this?
Sogo Osaka: Maybe just a bit of
amazake. I can’t just leave all these
drinks untouched. Geez… Why did he
have to go and apologize…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: Ah… I’m glad you’re
all having fun.
Sogo Osaka: Then again, maybe I’m
blaming Tamaki-kun too much. I was
probably acting too suspicious in the
first place… I didn’t speak up
much, either.
Sogo Osaka: I should stop scolding
him so much. This year, I’ll be
nicer to him…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Audience:He feels bad!
Audience:That’s great!
Sogo Osaka: Heh… Thank you.
Sogo Osaka: Ah… This is delicious…
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: Ah, I’m sorry. I should
be focusing on entertaining you all, and
here I am, just eating black beans…
Audience:Ahahaha!
Audience: It’s okay!
Audience:We’re having fun!
Sogo Osaka: What a nice way
to spend the New Year…
Sogo Osaka: Ah… There’s a remote
controller here. I wonder what it’s for.
Sogo Osaka: Let’s press this switch.
Sogo Osaka:There.
Sogo Osaka: Ah… I can see everyone’s
faces on the screen!
Audience:Kyaaaaaa..!
Sogo Osaka: It looks like we
can zoom in on whoever we want to
watch more closely. Let’s try that.
Sogo Osaka: Ah… We can even
hear them talking..?
- - - -
Yamato Nikaido: Ugh…
This is rough…
Yamato Nikaido: Uuugh…
This is really rough…
Yamato Nikaido: Why’d I have to end
up as the fortune-teller..?
Yamato Nikaido: Especially with all
these imposters running around. There’s
no way people are gonna trust me over
Momo-san or Kujo…
Yamato Nikaido: At least I feel like
I can just barely beat Natsume on that
front. Then again, he’s a great actor,
like me…
Yamato Nikaido: I’m guessing
everyone watching already knows
who’s who?
Yamato Nikaido: I was thinking
I’d read Nagi’s fortune, what do
you say?
Yamato Nikaido: My reason for picking
him is that he’ll make a great ally, but
also a dangerous foe.
Yamato Nikaido: Plus since everyone
trusts him so much, I figure I should
at least be a bit more skeptical.
Yamato Nikaido: ………
If one of my teammates turns out to
be a wolf, I’ll be pretty shocked…
Yamato Nikaido: But I want to find
some kind of evidence, and help put an
end to all this violence…
Yamato Nikaido: …Or so I’d say,
if this were a TV drama.
Yamato Nikaido:Ugh…
Yeah, I’ll go with Nagi.
Yamato Nikaido: I could also pick one
of the fake fortune-tellers to look for
the fox, but do you honestly think
they’d believe me?
Yamato Nikaido: I mean, if I was
a fake, I’d totally accuse the other
fortune-tellers of being wolves.
Yamato Nikaido: Plus even if I
find a wolf, it’ll be hard to convince
everyone that I’m telling the truth…
Yamato Nikaido: Hmm… Yep.
I’m just gonna go with Nagi.
Yamato Nikaido: Ugh… I just hope
he doesn’t get attacked, or else this
reading will go to waste!

Momo: Hello, everybody! It’s
me, Momo the Madman!
Momo:My role is to looooooove the
werewolves, and sabotage the villagers!
Momo:I have no idea who’s a wolf,
but I’ll win as long as they win. Even
if I’m already dead.
Momo:Basically, I’m stanning the
wolves! I just don’t know exactly who
I’m rooting for!
Momo:Tamaki seems to be one, at least!
So I’m stanning him for now! Yaaay!
Momo: However, my fave is already
in big, big trouble!
Momo:He had to go and announce that he’s
a wolf in front of everyone. Classic Tamaki
move. He’s kicking the New Year off with
a bang.
Momo: In order to help him avoid execution
for another day, I should come up with some
way to protect him!
Momo: I’ve got just the right plan,
but in order to protect my little
wolfie, I’ll need a human sacrifice.
Momo: Decisions, decisions…
Momo:I wouldn’t wanna sacrifice
any of the wolfies that are still
in hiding, after all.
Momo:Besides Tamaki, I’ve got
two other werewolves to protect!
Momo:Which means my sacrifice has
to be someone who’s sure to be
just a villager…
Momo:Hmm… I really didn’t
wanna do this…
Momo:But my partner…
Is definitely not a wolf.
Momo:I’d know.
He wouldn’t be so relaxed if he was.
Momo:And as great as my darling is
at acting, I’m pretty sure he’s not
pretending this time.
Momo:It’s like he hasn’t got a
care in the world. Must be because
we’re playing with our favorite boys…
Momo:And because he’s neither
a wolf nor any of the other roles.
Just a regular villager.
Momo:Oh, my darling… Forgive me…
Momo: I love you more than anyone
else in the entire universe…
Momo:But right now… I only have
eyes for the wolfies…
Momo: So in the spirit of fair play,
I’ll do my darndest to make sure
you get executed..!
Momo: Sorry, Yuki! I love you,
I really do! And I’ll buy you dinner
later!
Momo:So let me side with
the wolves, just this once..!!!

Minami Natsume: Hello, Minami
Natsume here.
Minami Natsume: You may also
call me the fox spirit.
Minami Natsume:Yip.
Minami Natsume: The fox… Hmm.
It seems I will die if a fortune-teller
tries to read my fortune.
Minami Natsume: I decided to pose as
a fortune-teller in order to make myself
a less appealing target for the real one.
It made sense, what with fortune-telling
also being a hobby of mine.
Minami Natsume: And now, there are
four of us.
Minami Natsume: Hmm… I wonder
if they’ll start executing us one
by one tomorrow.
Minami Natsume: I do hope I’ll live.
Minami Natsume: I won’t win
unless I’m still standing when the
wolves triumph.
Minami Natsume: So for the time
being, I should play into the wolves’
hands.
Minami Natsume: I wonder who the
wolves are… There must be one of
them among the fortune-tellers.
Minami Natsume: Perhaps Nikaido-san…
He did seem to want to hang Rokuya-san.
Minami Natsume: Or maybe Kujo-san…
He didn’t speak up very much. Then
again, neither did Momo-san…
Minami Natsume: And I wonder who
the real fortune-teller is. Whoever
they are, they’ll kill me if they try
to read me.
Minami Natsume: Ah… How very difficult.
Minami Natsume: I just hope no
fortunes come my way tonight.
Minami Natsume: Yip yip.
Minami Natsume: Oh, right.
I need results for my own fake
fortune reading.
Minami Natsume: Let’s see…
I think I will choose Isumi-san
as my target.
Minami Natsume: When he hears my
results, he’ll come to trust me.
Minami Natsume: He’s very pure-hearted,
after all. It’s almost cute how completely
he’ll fall for my tricks sometimes.
Minami Natsume: Well then, I’m all set.

Gaku Yaotome:……..
Gaku Yaotome: I’m the hunter.
Gaku Yaotome: I need to pick one
villager to protect from the wolves
each night.
Gaku Yaotome: If I pick whoever
the wolves are after, there’ll be no
casualties for that night.
Gaku Yaotome: Who should I protect..?
Should I shield Rokuya, like he said?
Gaku Yaotome: But if he’s a wolf,
I’ll just be protecting a monster from
one of its own.
Gaku Yaotome: A useless hunter,
in other words. I’d much rather get
something done.
Gaku Yaotome: Hmm…
Gaku Yaotome: We’ll need a fortune-
teller to deal with the fox… And the
wolves might already know who the real
one is.
Gaku Yaotome: That means they’ll
attack one of the fortune-tellers.
Gaku Yaotome: And if they do, I’ll
know the one I protected to be the
real deal.
Gaku Yaotome: Or not… I’m guessing
the wolves have no idea who the fox and
the madman are, yet.
Gaku Yaotome: Then again…
Rokuya’s just a regular villager.
Fortune-tellers are special.
Gaku Yaotome: I should find out
which one of them is real, and protect
that person.
Gaku Yaotome: The real one…
Gaku Yaotome:……..
Gaku Yaotome: Maybe Tenn…
Gaku Yaotome: He’s my teammate,
so I should be able to tell when
he’s lying.
Gaku Yaotome: I didn’t get that
vibe from him tonight.
Gaku Yaotome: ……..
Gaku Yaotome: …I dunno…
Gaku Yaotome: …No! I should go
with Tenn. If I protect him successfully,
it’ll at least confirm that he’s not a wolf.
Gaku Yaotome: Rokuya, if you’re a
villager and I’m sending you to your
death, then I’m sorry!
Gaku Yaotome: I’m counting on you,
Tenn…!
- - - -
Yuki:Haha… I get it.
Yuki:……..
Yuki:No I don’t.
Yuki:I still have no idea how
Sogo-kun got executed.
Yuki:Maybe he really was a wolf.
Yuki:What roles did the villagers
have, again? Fortune-teller, medium…
And what was the third one, woodsman..?
Yuki:Ah… I’m just a villager,
of course. I’d like to think my character
has his own chicken coop right here, and
that he comes here to pick eggs every day.
Yuki: I’m sure I’d have more to do right
now, if I wasn’t just an average Joe.
Yuki:I’m falling asleep over here…
Yuki:……..
Yuki:Yawn…
Yuki:Ah… One of my eyelashes
came loose…
Yuki: It sure would be nice if
everyone else could solve this case
while I laze around.
Yuki: This is a pretty nice job,
all in all… I wonder if we could
do this on the regular…
Yuki: Oh no, I stepped on one
of the eggs.
To be continued…
