Chapter 51 Who is the villain?
At the fourth round of the competition, Akira, who had let others introduce themselves, started raising his hands. "Who has a good idea?" Saboru raised his hand. "I have an idea. The principle is very simple. Just pair up two people and go collect the bracelets. After a day, you can gather at this spot again. Plus, it's a forest. But luckily, En had a radar to make sure you wouldn't get lost. We'll have time to collect the bracelets and at the same time, check the number of people who might lose to the wolf. It's a double whammy. Plus, if someone loses, they'll be considered to have a high chance of becoming a wolf. Those who don't show up will be considered wolves because they won't gather." Akira nodded and looked around. "Does anyone object?"
Masaru ridiculed Saboru's plan. "Do you think I have to do what you guys say? I'll go alone. The rest of you can do whatever you want. At this time, to be paired with someone who might be a wolf? Nonsense. Masaru didn't trust everyone here because he couldn't identify the wolf. Akira smiled and nodded. "Then, the nine of us will judge you as a wolf. Let's do it this way. The wolf who ships alone will be considered a traitor. Let's see who will win. Let me tell you in advance that we're not inferior here. Choose?" Akira, who was smiling, looked at the others and then looked back at Masaru. "Will you accept the judgment now? I'll suggest a better plan. We're on the same team, so we have to help each other." Masaru stared at Akira angrily.
Masaru fell silent because if it was a one-on-one fight, there was no way he would win. Plus, he couldn't use magic. "Just do whatever you want." Akira bowed his head in thanks. "Thank you." Akira looked up. "Does anyone have a better idea?" Tell me, for your own sake and for the villagers' victory. "Tan Noi raised his hand. The other children turned to look. "How about three instead? If there is only one target, we will send only one person to collect it. If there are two, send two. But if there are three, the first person must go collect it. The children must stay in two places at all times. There are two teams of three, and four teams. "Everyone started thinking of a three-four plan.
Akira objected. "Will they be able to collect the bracelets in time? A said that if no one collects the bracelets by the specified time, they will disappear. That means we have to wait for other places where they will appear. This is the wolf's way. Wasting time will make our team lose miserably." A's condition for winning that he told the villagers was that the villagers could not collect all the bracelets by the specified time. The other children began to agree with Akira. Cai Hong raised his hand in fear to suggest something. "If ... then, should we split up and go by ourselves? Let all the children stay at the points where the bracelets land. If anyone goes to collect the bracelets a little slower, Let us decide that child is a wolf. Although there is no way to prevent it, there is a way to identify the wolf. Those who work slowly will be judged as wolves? Akira also came out. Those who collect the bracelets slower than usual showed that they had to do something outside of the plan to collect the bracelets, so they could be interpreted as wolves. Akira made a gesture of evaluating Cai Hong. "I agree with this plan. Let's know the wolf. The rest of us will just gang up and take care of the wolves. It's an easy way. Does anyone agree or have a better way?" Jaden laughed and pointed at Akira. "Hahahaha… You're the most suspicious or are you a wolf yourself? Split up into points. What if the wolf runs faster than usual? This plan has a loophole and will make us have to stick together instead of losing one person. Do you agree with this plan? Split up into different points like this. It will be easier to move, right? Wolf Akira?" Jaden immediately started to find fault with Akira. Akira smiled faintly, holding his head. «What's wrong with this kid? He keeps saying there are wolves. He must be losing his mind. In the end, who will you choose as the wolf, sir? Just choose one.» Akira looked puzzled.
Akira nodded. «That's a high possibility. But what about it? Originally, none of us knew who the wolf was. I just liked Cai Hong's way of thinking. Since we don't know who the wolf is, why don't we lure it out? Or do you want to fight here? The game will end and the wolf will be the winner. What do you say? Do you want to play now or wait until we're sure before starting the wolf hunt?» Jaden acted scared. «Oh, oh, calm down, Akira. I'm just testing the wolf. Does anyone else want to suggest any ideas?»
The other children suggested one after another, and it was seen that Saboru and Cai Hong's proposal was the best. Akira, who was the operator, used the majority vote. "Who thinks it's better to go alone, raise your hand." Four children raised their hands: Akira, Cai Hong, Huiming, Masaru. Akira nodded. "Four people. Next, who agrees with Mr. Saboru's plan? Six children raised their hands. Akira told them to put their hands down. "We've got a plan that requires majority vote. How should we pair up now? We'll start with a plan for two partners. How do we pair up?" Akira asked the people who would have the same idea for pairing up. Saboru raised his hand. "Would you like to choose yourselves? Whoever thinks the others are commoners can pair up with that child. But if no one else thinks of choosing, we can use number pairings by having the child with the highest number pair up with the child with the lowest number. What do you think?" Akira raised his hand. "I agree. Does anyone else agree?" Some of the other children fell silent, and some nodded. Akira sighed, "Then the pairs are like this. You and Masaru are paired together, Saboru is paired with Sora, Perron is paired with Huiming, Jade is paired with Cai Hong, and the last team is Tanner with Riku. Does anyone have any objections? So that I can explain the pairing process to the end?" Akira asked if anyone wanted to add anything. Masaru, who didn't like Akira, was not happy. "I don't like you, so let's change the pairs." Akira smiled. "Then Sora is paired with Masaru, and Saboru is paired with me." Saboru nodded. Sora was a little scared, but he nodded. Akira took out a radar from his pocket. "How do we decide where to go? We've already had a meeting for a long time." Saboru answered Akira's question. "Choose yourselves. It doesn't matter anyway. No matter where the wolf goes, it's all the same. In this situation, anyone can go whichever way they want." The other children agreed. Akira also told the meeting schedule, "Let's gather at the same spot as before, in five days." The other kids agreed to gather in five days, and they started walking separately into two teams, without saying anything.
After a while, Akira walked with Saboru, leaving a large distance between them. After walking for a long time, Akira started a conversation because he had nothing to talk about. "Who do you think is the wolf, Mr. Saboru?" Saboru, who was walking with Akira, thought. "It must be you." Akira turned to look at Saboru who was following him. "Why do you think that?" Saboru shook his head. "Because you are a very suspicious person. Plus, you want to go somewhere alone. So, I set my sights on the four of you, including you. Going alone is like giving the wolf a chance to deal with them one by one." Akira understood. "I understand. Because you want to travel alone, you're suspicious. Plus, you're the one who leads others on what to do. If I were you, I'd definitely be suspicious." Akira, who had been walking for a while, smiled. While Saboru didn't see it, "But I wonder if you're the wolf." Akira said that his partner was a wolf, or are the two of them going to have a war of words to say who's the wolf?
