Immediately after, Xavier arrived at Fischl's room again.
"Fischl, time to get up," Xavier knocked on the door and called out Fischl's nickname.
Fischl woke up from her sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes in her nightgown, and opened the door for Xavier.
"Xavier, you're so late. Can I check their identities tomorrow...?"
Xavier was a bit speechless; Fischl was quite a heavy sleeper.
"Actually, it's not impossible. If you want to check someone's identity, I can tell you directly."
Fischl was overjoyed upon hearing this and began to ponder whose identity to check.
"Then I want to check Arataki Itto's!"
But after saying it, Fischl immediately regretted it: "No, no, Arataki Itto is an idiot. No matter what his identity is, it will definitely be figured out through his statements. I should check the identities of the experts instead."
If Itto heard this, he would surely argue with Fischl, but it must be said that Fischl's thinking was spot on.
Neither the Werewolves nor the good people seemed to take Itto seriously.
Poor Itto, he couldn't shake off the 'Great Idiot' identity.
"Hmm~ Cyno seems to be very good at playing Werewolf, but Hachijou Shenzi is a very cunning person."
"And Xiao, who doesn't talk much, confirming his identity might also be very important."
Fischl suddenly got a headache. Whose identity should she check?
After thinking for a long time, Fischl finally gave Xavier the answer: "I've decided, I want to check Cyno's identity!"
Xavier smiled and asked, "Are you sure? You can only check one person's identity each night."
Fischl nodded and said, "Confirmed. Cyno is the most experienced. Only by confirming his identity can the game be played better."
Seeing that Fischl was completely sure, Xavier made a werewolf claw shape.
"Cyno's identity is... a Werewolf!"
Fischl was incredibly excited to learn she had found a Werewolf and her chunibyo spirit ignited again.
"Hahaha, as expected, this Princess is a once-in-a-lifetime genius. I found a Werewolf with a casual check."
"Just wait and see how I expose him tomorrow, then lead the good people to vote him out!"
"If anyone dares to protect him, then they're a fellow Werewolf!"
"Hahaha!"
Fischl laughed heartily as she lay back down on the bed.
One second she was laughing uproariously, the next she was sound asleep.
Xavier closed the door, feeling quite helpless.
And the next thing to do was to wake up the Hunter, Xiao.
When Xavier knocked on Xiao's door, Xiao asked somewhat puzzled, "Do I also need to go inspect?"
Xavier nodded and said, "Of course. Although your skill only activates after you die, you have the chance to open your eyes every night to observe the status of others. You might discover useful information."
Xiao found this very reasonable and decided to follow Xavier to inspect.
But unfortunately, there wasn't much to gain after the inspection. After all, Hachijou Shenzi had already inspected once before, which delayed some time.
So, even if the Werewolves had any flaws, they would have probably adjusted by now.
As for Itto, who was the last to open his eyes, he was fuming and even complained to Xavier.
"Hey, did you intentionally give me this card? This Daddy, don't want to be an idiot!"
Xavier said helplessly, "I deal them randomly. How could I treat anyone differently?"
Itto's eyes darted, then he whispered to Xavier, "Xavier, why don't you tell me who the Werewolves are, even if it's just one!"
Xavier rolled his eyes dramatically: "If you keep this up, I'll have to disqualify you. Don't blame me if they lose and blame you."
"No, no, no, I was just joking."
Itto was scared and dared not bribe Xavier, the judge, anymore.
And the 'Great Idiot' Itto, after looking around, naturally didn't see anything either.
After that, everyone finally got a good night's sleep.
And nothing particularly special seemed to happen in the old castle that night.
Xavier knew that the butler was just fear-mongering, merely trying to scare them.
By the afternoon of the next day, everyone had arrived.
During dinner in the evening, everyone participating in the Werewolf game was already impatient.
"Xavier, Xavier, quickly tell us what happened last night!"
Hu Tao, holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, almost stood on the table.
"What's the rush? I'll announce it after dinner."
Kaveh, seeing how interesting the game was, asked, "Is it really that fun? I wish I had joined."
Furina pouted her small mouth and said, "Hmph, it's not fun at all..."
"Player Furina, don't forget you're still in the game. Don't reveal too much information."
Xavier, fearing Furina would blurt something out, immediately reminded her.
Furina must have found it boring and wanted to complain because she got a Civilian card.
After dinner, Xavier stood up and began to announce what happened last night.
"Alright, the first night has passed. So, who died last night...?"
Xavier stretched out his voice, then said, "Congratulations everyone, last night was a peaceful night, no one died."
"Next is the speaking phase. Each player has two minutes to speak."
"After the speeches, there will be a 10-minute group discussion, so everyone needs to think carefully about their words and try not to reveal too much."
Aside from the few participating in Werewolf, the others were also very interested and did not leave their seats.
Instead, they wanted to hear their speeches and were curious about who the Werewolves and good people were in this game.
Following the seating order, the first person to speak was Xiangling.
Xiangling timidly said, "Um, I'm just an ordinary Civilian. I don't know what happened last night, but I always feel like I'm being targeted by the Werewolves!"
"My speech is over, you all can talk!"
Xiangling couldn't provide any useful information and felt it was better to give the time to others.
Hu Tao, sitting next to Xiangling, spoke up, "I'm also an ordinary Civilian, but I heard some movement last night. Based on my deduction of the footsteps, I think one of the Werewolves must be Arataki Itto!"
"Huh? How dare you frame This Daddy!"
Itto immediately forgot the rules of the game and was about to curse and refute Hu Tao, but he was stopped by a look from Xavier.
"You see, Itto has always had issues with this Hall Master."
"So I strongly suspect that Itto is not only a Werewolf, but he very likely attacked me last night. If the Witch hadn't saved me, I probably would be delivering my last words today!"
Hu Tao's act of blaming was extremely well-executed, not only making Itto's face flush with anger.
But also making several Civilians feel that this was a very plausible situation!
Especially since Itto's previous behavior was already very suspicious, it was highly possible he was indeed a Werewolf.
