[Raiden Ei: A chance!]
[Kamisato Ayato: Please pick No.1!]
[Arataki Itto: Pick No.1, pick No.1, pick No.1!]
[Koleda: No way, she definitely won't pick No.1.]
[Anton: Don't pick No.1, don't pick No.1.]
[Tsukishiro Yanagi: No.1… the odds are slim.]
[Hoshimi Miyabi: No.1 is unlucky. Don't choose it.]
[Jing Yuan: I hate to say it, but her previous votes were 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, so…]
[Ruan Mei: If she swaps, it'll most likely be between 1, 2, or 3!]
With just one sentence, the ZZZ players' faces all turned pale.
No way… could they really be that unlucky?
"I… I'll swap with No.1."
At last, No.11 made her decision.
"Rumble…"
The room shook again.
Yae Miko was surprised to see her number turn into 9.
"Did… someone save me?"
She was puzzled.
At this point, someone was actually acting like a living Bodhisattva?
[Raiden Ei: Hah! We owe you one!]
[Kamisato Ayato: We'll repay you next time.]
[Kujou Sara: Yes, we'll help you next time.]
[Arataki Itto: Don't worry! I'm an Oni man—if I say I'll help, I'll help!]
The Inazuma side was ecstatic.
Meanwhile, the ZZZ players were dumbfounded.
Why would you use the swap card for no reason?!
[Wise: Sigh… can't blame No.11. She was afraid of tying for last.]
[Belle: Yeah, yeah, it's not her fault.]
[Anby: ...…]
[Jane: Too bad. Let's see how the rest goes.]
At this point, even though the others had found swap cards, none of them had dropped before.
There was no reason for them to use them.
No.11 was basically doomed.
[Time's up.]
The final minute ended.
The doors opened, and eight players stepped out.
"Alright, elimination time. Turn around and look at your rooms."
Everyone turned back.
The rooms stood at different heights.
"No.1… is the lowest!"
No.11 quickly realized that her room was at the very bottom.
"Yep. So you're the one getting eliminated."
Valerius laughed.
"You're something else. A real living Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"So… that's how it is?"
No.11 looked like she was about to cry.
If she'd known, she wouldn't have overthought it.
Getting eliminated by volunteering herself into it felt awful.
[Player No.11 has been eliminated.]
A beam of light descended, and No.11 vanished.
"Oh~ So she's the little one who saved me?"
Yae Miko saw clearly now.
So that strange-named girl was her savior.
Not a bad name.
She liked it.
She gave a thumbs-up toward where No.11 disappeared.
"Rest in peace. I'll avenge you."
Then, her gaze quietly shifted toward Robin.
She had already located Room 3's owner the moment they came out.
That was her "enemy."
She had kindly passed out a swap card—
And Robin tried to kill her with it.
In that case…
Next round, she'd make sure to deal with her.
[Sunday: Tch… what is that fox planning now?]
[Raiden Ei: What do you think?]
[Kamisato Ayato: Next round will be interesting.]
[Topaz: You're funny. Weren't you calling her a good person earlier? Now she's a 'fox' again?]
[Silver Wolf: Yeah, this guy's all over the place.]
[Yanfei: Strongly recommend eliminating Miss Robin next round.]
[Xingqiu: I'm more curious about her punishment.]
[Hu Tao: Same, same.]
"Alright, first round over."
Valerius tapped a few buttons on the system panel.
The circular platform descended, carrying everyone to the second arena.
"Each of you now has 2 points. Anyone want to quit and leave with them?"
He asked out of habit, though he knew the answer.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good. Let's move on to the second game."
He pointed to a small room nearby.
"I'll be waiting inside. You'll line up and enter one by one."
"I'll give you some hints, and you'll choose who to vote out."
"The player with the most votes is eliminated. Ties are all eliminated."
Simple rules.
Valerius didn't bother explaining more and walked into the room.
"Hints?"
Yae Miko's eyes lit up.
She immediately rushed to the front of the line.
The others followed.
Only Zhu Yuan and Billy looked miserable.
As newcomers, they barely knew anyone.
Hints wouldn't help much.
"Whatever. Let's just guess."
Zhu Yuan gave up.
As long as she didn't vote for herself, she'd be fine.
[Yae Miko, please enter.]
The door opened.
With graceful steps, Yae Miko walked in.
Inside, Valerius sat behind a long table.
Several cards lay face-down on it.
"Please sit."
He gestured.
After she sat, he spoke leisurely.
"These cards represent the players. You may check three of them."
"I'll give you hints one by one."
"After that, you'll vote for one card."
"Got it."
Miko sat down, scanning the cards.
Her fox ears twitched slightly.
"Oh~ There are seven cards. Can I check all of them?"
"No."
Valerius rolled his eyes.
"Stop dreaming."
"Then… I'll just vote for Robin."
"No."
"Aww~ Can't you give me some leeway?"
She looked at him pitifully.
Valerius felt speechless.
What relationship do we have that I should favor you?
"Choose, or I'll randomize it."
"Tch. Boring."
She glared at him.
"I'm such a delicate beauty, and you give me no face at all."
She casually picked up one card.
There was only a number on it.
"Who's this?"
"That's the Starlight Knight."
"Starlight Knight?"
Miko froze.
Was there someone like that among them?
"From ZZZ, maybe?"
She immediately associated it with the ZZZ players.
She put the card aside.
"I'm not voting for this one."
[Qingyi: Whew… Thanks to No.11.]
[Nicole: That scared me.]
[Anby: Billy dodged a bullet.]
[Rina: Kindness really gets rewarded.]
Everyone thought Miko spared him because No.11 had saved her earlier.
But others knew better.
She was just hunting for Robin.
Miko reached for another card…
