Now, I'd like to explain the rules of this Naroncon...
Wait!

　One Japanese man interrupted the errand boy's words.
　He was of medium build and medium height. He was wearing loungewear and carrying a convenience store bag in his hand.
　He looks like a young man who lives in an apartment and returns from the convenience store nearby.

I decline to play the game!　I want you to leave now!

　After making such a lofty proclamation to the errand boy, he looks back at us.

'You know what I mean, guys. This is kidnapping. It's a noble crime!

　Ah, there is. This kind of common sense person in the frame of mind.
　I'd also call them hard-headed people who can't accept reality after this.
　I completely agree with the assertion itself, though.

"Ta, that's definitely true...
I wish I could go back to my room and continue with Braso.

　So it's always a good thing that some people are sympathetic to the idea.

'No it's a dream it's not real...!

　Some people don't even think it's real in the first place.

'Hmm. I don't mind, but withdrawing from the game is an automatic defeat~. Is that okay with you?
Yeah, well, I don't care. I don't care how the game turns out.

　The young man shouts out in triumph.
　At that moment, I don't miss the corner of Gyoji's mouth hanging up.
　The gas-masked Misaki cowered his shoulders and the masked chibi watched the trend.

I have to say, "Well then, Mana Higuchi Mario, you have been eliminated from the game. Due to your withdrawal from the game, you will be eliminated--
Oh, do you mind if I have a minute?

　He interrupts the errand boy's line by raising his hand.

'Mmmmmm!　Hey everyone, you're interrupting Capi-chan's story too much earlier!
'You were just about to explain the rules, weren't you?　Then I guess it doesn't matter if you ask me, so I'll ask you... what happens if we lose the game?

　I half-expected it, but confirmed it in a tone of questioning that seemed like an obvious one.

Hmmm. Well, when asked about the rules, I have to answer the question. The conditions for defeat are different for each game, but the fate of the loser is decided.

　

''That's obvious. It's death, death. I'll have you die for a hapless pig that can be defeated...''
What?

　The young man gasps at the errand boy's cruel pronouncement.


Wait, wait!　I take it back!　We'll be in the game!
Yeah. But once you turn it down, you can't just...
'Of course you can in this case, right?　'Fairness' angel.

　He interrupted the errand boy's line and cowered his shoulders as usual.

It's not fair to let someone who doesn't know the penalty for defeat to retire, as expected. The rules of the game have to be 'fair', don't they?
'Ugh!　Why do you have to go so far with Capi-chan...!

　It's about the enemy.
　What can you do and what can't you do?
　Well, I've done a thorough study of you guys.

I'm sure... if you're not sure about the penalty, the rules allow you to rescind your resignation, but...
Yeah. You're alive, man.
'Oh, yeah...'

　This kind of process is a tempest.
　It's a theory in God's Play (game) that one person who would originally leave the game is intentionally summoned to make an example out of the guy who is going to leave the game.
　Since the facilitator, who is a walking rule book, can't hold unfair and unreasonable rules in his or her hands, he or she may try to liven up the scene with a self-inflicted sacrifice before he or she can explain them to you.

''Mmmm ... well, the order has gone back and forth, but ...!　If you win a game, you will be given the right to move on to the next game. The game changes depending on how many people are left alive, so it's hard to say how many times you need to survive, but you'll have to play it about 3-4 times. There's a nice reward for all those who survive the last game, which is that they can make any wish come true... try your best to survive!
So, you mean to say that the rest of these people are your rivals?

　After listening to the explanation of the rules of the errand girl, Higuchi said as if to spit it out.

It's not always the case, since there are team battles. Basically, you can think of it as a mutually beneficial relationship!
Hey, hey. If you kill all the other people in the middle of the game like last time, do you still think it's not a victory, but a cancellation?

　The other participants jerked at Misaki's innocent question.

Of course. Please refrain as much as possible from actions that would make the game itself meaningless. You will be prepared for disqualification or a penalty.

　Yes, I get it!
　I'll do my best!

'Then let's get on with the first game!　The first game we play is always the same!　That's the name of it........the Otherworldly Werewolf!

　The errand boy gets more and more excited by his own voice.

'Werewolf?　Are you talking about that werewolf game where you hunt that werewolf that blends in with the villagers?
Yes, that's pretty much it.

　Gokashi answers Higuchi's question with high tension.
　
　I'm pretty sure Ituna said he'd done it with everyone at the facility before.

'If it's werewolves, I've done it on an app!　It's a hundred battles!

　The otaku is gleefully piddling.
　The reason people like him who know the so-called game theory are summoned is not to make the game more efficient.
　It's to make the participants deliberately misunderstand each other.
　The inexcusable development that arose from the misunderstanding is resolved by saying, "Because you didn't ask me.

However, you're not the werewolf you know, so you'll die if you do.

　Goyo laughed provocatively and happily began to explain the rules of the game.

"First of all, you will be divided into the 'villager side' and the 'werewolf side'. There will be 9 'villagers' and 4 'werewolves'. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know each other better. The werewolf side pretends to be the villager's side and kills fewer villagers than there are left in the game. The werewolves can tell who the other werewolves are, but the villagers can't tell who is a villager and who is a werewolf.

　Hmmm, the way he talks is so f*cking annoying....
　Anyway, you're asking me to kill the enemy's side, whatever it takes. Kashima.

If you die during the game, you can come back to life as long as you're on the winning side. Those on the losing side will remain dead.
'Well I mean, it's a game, but if you lose, you really die...?'

　A few people, including the high school girls, make their faces turn pale.
　It's not just the same thing that was said a moment ago by the errand boy, and from my point of view, it's just a natural gymnastics exercise, but from a normal person's point of view, it's still hard to believe.

That's all I'm going to explain to you, Capi-chan. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time, but please keep your questions specific.

　From the concluding lines of the errand boy's closing line, he probably doesn't explain all the rules of the game.
　It's also customary to dare to omit the explanation of the rules to make the game more interesting.
　They say it's the villager's side or the werewolf's side, but this isn't a team game, of course.
　The winner is the one who understands the hidden rules and is able to use them. It seems that this is the same as usual.

Then let's begin!　At the same time, I'll know if it's you or the werewolf side or the villager side!

　A letter popped into my head.
　Hmm, I'm on the side of the villagers.

"Hey, wait a minute!　That's all you have to explain!　What's the position?!

　The self-proclaimed werewolf-hunting otaku started to hurriedly confirm it.

'Do you mean a fortune teller or a medium?　I have one. Also, please be more specific with your questions. Well, you'll understand if you try, won't you?

　There you go.
　The game starts with understanding the rules, doesn't it?
　By the way, my position is.....

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　As soon as the errand boy disappeared, the landscape around him changed to a village.

''Wow, Liaroo!''
Great.....

　High school girls and otaku marveled at the view.
　Radiant sunshine, blue skies and white clouds. A few huts lined up in a row, surrounded by the great outdoors.
　If you look, there are fields and blacksmithing facilities of sorts.　
　It's as if we didn't move through the dimensions, but rather summoned them by copying and pasting a whole bunch of quantum information from some village. That would be real.

'Hey, look at that!　The view in the sky just keeps going!

　Higuchi points up to the heavens.
　Apparently, time seems to be passing quickly here.

''Something has really started....''

　A high school girl murmurs stunned.

''Ma-kun, don't leave........''
And of course!

　A Shibuya-type couple is making out.
　Oh, are these guys the ones who kill each other on different sides?

It's over. We're f*cked...!

　It's a pathetic line like some star prince, a businessman in a desperate attempt to escape reality.

"I see, hey...

　The gallic guy is holding and opening his hand as if to check something.
　Oh, this guy looks like a werewolf.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. But since we're not going to be able to talk outside I'd like to go inside that big house. I'm going to make sure it's safe, just in case.
Yeah, I'm coming with you.

　He raised his hand in Higuchi's opinion and he was surprised for a moment before nodding.
　I followed him into the big house.

''Ugh. This.........''

　The moment Higuchi, who had been ahead of me, entered the house, I flinched at the smell of blood, and my eyes widened.

''I see, so this is the house of a village chief who was eaten to death by a werewolf.

　I stood next to it and watched the devastation.
　Blood splattered all over the walls of the room, and on the floor lay the cruel corpse of a man twisted in fear and pain.

'Shall we seal this room off?　Don't let anyone get in.
'No, no, I think I might have a clue. Let's check it out.

　After a short pause in my opinion, Higuchi looks up and steps into the room.

''Heh. You're more used to this kind of thing than you think, anta.
'Ha, no way. I'm just desperate. I'm supposed to be a medium.

　After saying that, Higuchi held up his hand towards the corpse.

''........Yeah. This corpse is a 'human'. It's not a 'werewolf'.

　After gulping, Higuchi punched the wall as hard as he could.

"d*mn, I really understand........!
Okay.

　It didn't look like anything had been triggered.
　I don't know yet, but it doesn't look like it's a cheat ability.
　Is it just a kind of little skill that is exclusive to the game?
　Or..........

'How did this happen........'
It was just bad luck. You'd have to say he got hit by a meteorite and died.

　It was at that moment that Higuchi looked up and was about to say something.

''Gyaaah!
No, no, no...

　What I heard was a scream from outside, like a scream of the end of the world.
