170 Day Phase 2 (1/2)

So The Greater German Reich had the support of the supernatural beings of Europe. No wonder it became so big and swallowed most of the continent. At this point, only the Albion Empire could stand up to it for the domination of Europe. Wait, he was just a small guy what did he care about world politics? They could go and kill each other all they want it didn't concern him. Still...

”Then how come they haven't conquered Albion yet?” Linri could not stop himself from asking. He was just too curious and because he was a wox he should be safe.

”Tha's a dumb question. Who can stand up to the might of Queen Elizabeth?” Richard asked it like that was the most obvious thing in the world.

Linri, on the other hand, became confused. Wasn't Queen Elizabeth was just a frail old lady? I mean, he was a proud British in both of his lives that was for sure but let's be honest he couldn't imagine a scene where Queen Elizabeth held a sword or a gun in her hands and shout charge. Then again that would be quite the amazing sight to watch. Then it dawned on him.

”You are telling me she is not a normal human?”

”*Sigh* You really need to pay attention to Zave's class,” said Richard. He could not believe that he didn't even know such a piece of common knowledge like this. Just how did Lyra raise her son? Sure, he didn't have any abilities but shouldn't she at least be teaching him this stuff before sending him to Autumnfall?

Richard Ashwood (3): Rina, Jin, Ashley

Linri stopped talking with Richard after reading the notifications. This was interesting. He didn't know the reason why they would target this old pervert.

”Since you three decided to lynch him I hope you have a good explanation,” said Linri towards the trio.

”From the start of the game, he didn't speak once. He is not trying to actively catch the witches. Why would that be if not for being one of them?” said Ashley.

”True, true but can't we say the same thing about the others? Like that narcissistic bastard over there?” said Linri while pointing towards Rondo.

”You are right but then this guy here wouldn't vote him. What can we do? If we want to win this thing we need information and the best way to get it is to lynch someone. Don't you agree?” Ashley said.

Linri completely agreed with her opinion except for the fact that he believed that Richard was town. From what he said about sovereigns he should be completely immune against Snow's little poison so he would have claimed he was a witch and just leave the game.

”That's true as well but don't you think you are too hasty?”

”How so?”

”Well, you know that I am a 'Witch Hunter' so shouldn't we just sit back and relax? I already confirmed Riku and we know that there is someone who can protect others from a night kill. So my life is not endangered either. That's why, if you want to win this fame without 'meaningless' sacrifices the best way to do it would be to stand down and relax. It's not like witches can win with me around. Of course, that is assuming you are not one yourself” Linri said as he squinted his eyes. He was starting to get more and more suspicious of her. Since she was like him she should have been able to see this simple fact. Of course, only he knew that he lied. That's why the rest of the townies should be relaxing and wait for his reads on people. It was also the reason he waited instead of speaking. The witches were bound to get antsy after not being able to kill tonight so they were more likely to make mistakes.

”See, even she agrees. Though if you really want to vote someone for information I can recommend someone” Linri said.

”Who?” Ashley replied after squinting her eyes.

”How about Rondo?”

”Sure”

Rondo Hemsworth (2): Jin, Ashley

Well, that was fast and in these kinds of games being fast was never a good thing.

”You know what I changed my mind. I think we should vote Jin instead”

”Okay then”

Rondo Hemsworth (1): Jin

Jin Nagato (1): Ashley

”Hey!” Jin looked towards Ashley like he was betrayed. It seemed like he didn't expect this.

Linri, on the other hand, was in a dilemma. Ashley shouldn't be a town from the way she acted this day phase but she changed her votes too easily. Richard, Riku, Rina couldn't be witches. That only left Ashley, Jin and Rondo. According to his read, she had to be a witch. Then that leaves the last one between Jin and Rondo but she changed her vote too easily making it impossible for him to read which one was a witch. Then came the second possibility. She was a townie and Rondo and Jin were witches. But that can't be possible, on the first day they both voted me at the same time. It showed that they were both working together and if they kept doing that they would be the target of the townies. Ugh, this was getting convoluted. He didn't know which one was which. Maybe Ashley was right, they really needed more information to solve this mess.
