171 Time is money my friend! (1/2)

Linri got out of his room to see who was attacked the last night phase. Everyone seemed fine. Wait, wasn't there someone missing. Riku was not here. Rina seemed to notice the same thing and she walked towards his room but it was locked. She did not give up but kept trying to force it.

”Stop trying, he was night killed” said Linri.

”NO!” Rina shouted and hit the door with a lightning bolt but it did not budge an inch. Then she fell down on her knees and started crying. She did not like her brother becoming the heir of the clan but she never wanted him dead! She was angry at their father and she took it out on him but he never deserved to die like this!

”Don't you think you need to console her? This should be the perfect moment to win her heart” Richard asked. He was returning back to his old perverted ways.

”Nah, I already have too much on my plate”

”Right, right, right but a man can never have too many women right?” Richard said wih a sparkle in his sole eye.

”You are disgusting old man! Anyway, with this the game should be over right? We will vote Rondo and if he is not a witch I will use my ability on Ashley to kill her. Does anyone have any objections?”

”This glorious one does!” Rondo spoke for the first time.

”Speak then” Linri said but before Rondo could say anything Ashley cut in.

”I was the one who protected you night 1 so Rondo should be the last witch!”

”Ha! Lies! It was I who protected him” said Rondo.

”*Sigh* Ashley do you really need to do this?” Linri asked with appearent disinterest in this conversation.

”Why don't you believe me?”

”Because if it was Rondo he would have already given up, simple as that”

”What makes you believe that? His life is on the line so don't you think he would try to prolong it as long as he could?”

”Nope! Even though I don't like him he is a paladin in training. So he wouldn't do something like this. You, on the other hand,” Linri said as he took a deep look towards her eyes.

”Believe what you will but if you lynch me today know that you would be making a mistake” she said as she averted her eyes.

[Current Vote Tally]

Ashley Keithon (1): Linri

---

”Sure” Linri said after voting her.

Ashley had a weird expression on her face. She couldn't find a way where she might live. This game was too stacked against the witches. How can a role like 'Witch Hunter' exists? It broke the balance of the game...

”Your role isn't 'Witch Hunter' is it?” she asked with a complicated expression.

”That took you long enough” Linri replied back with a sly smile.

”I should have known that. You pulled that stunt to protect yourself. After clamining you should have thought there was no way witches would attack you if you told who you were going to check. Then that person would have been the target of the townies but you didn't expect they would have took the bait and attack you instead. Still, you were lucky enough that someone had a protection role and used it on you”

”Ding, ding, ding, ding! We have a winner ladies and gentleman!” Linri said sarcastically.

”But isn't that counter intuitive?”

”How so? As long as I stalled out time and didn't let the townies lynch anyone the witches were bound to get antsy. Honestly I didn't expect a protection role when I claimed but it worked in my favour. Isn't that how I caught you? If you weren't so willing to lynch someone for information last phase I wouldn't have voted you today”

”But you are making a mistake! I am not a witch!”

”So what? If you are not the last one that red haired bastard over there for sure is the last witch”

”How can you be so sure?”

”It's because I know the personalities of everyone here. Rina would never have killed her brother. This old pervert here is more interested in chasing skirts and has immunity to posion so he would have claimed to protect his students. I am not a witch so that leaves only the two of you. Am I wrong?”

”That's not how to play this game! You should be suspecting them! Not make reads based on their personalities! What if you are killed!?”

”Then that's my mistake for putting my trust in them. Still, let's just say I have some sort of back up plan in case things goes south. I guess what seperated us this time were the difference in information. Simply put, I knew more things from you and hence why I won. So do you admit defeat?”
