"I understand, I'll be waiting for you in the finals."
"Hmph, maybe I'll be waiting for you in the finals... Hey! What are you doing?"
Before Arisu could finish speaking, Amane gently flicked the tip of her nose.
"It's nothing... I just feel a little nostalgic. It feels like it's been a long time since we've competed like this since that day."
"..."
Arisu's face turned bright red in an instant.
The day Amane mentioned was the day Arisu tricked Amane into watching adult-only movies with her under the guise of teaching her common sense, and then took the opportunity to...
However, Arisu had the desire to steal but not the courage, and only tried it briefly before giving up, which resulted in Fuuka successfully raiding his base... This is also the real reason why Arisu and Fuuka have always been at odds.
In Arisu's eyes, she was Amane's childhood sweetheart and first lover, but in Maple's eyes, she was Amane's first woman, and lovers had to take a backseat.
Regardless, the relationship between Amane and Arisu transcended the boundaries of 'best friends' and 'rivals' after that day, reaching the level of lovers. The two were inseparable. Forget about competition; Amane would even blow on Arisu's water to cool it down to room temperature before letting her drink it, just to prevent her from getting burned...
In short, the two were so affectionate that even Maple couldn't stand it anymore and chose to enroll a year early, which gives you an idea of what kind of relationship they had at the time.
Since that day, the two have occasionally had some so-called competitions, but there has never been a serious rivalry again.
"This is a rare opportunity, so let's have a good competition!"
"no problem."
Amane readily agreed and then headed towards Hoshinomiya-sensei's direction.
Arisu smiled as she watched Amane's retreating figure. After glancing back at the somewhat hesitant classmates, she sighed and followed Amane, preparing to draw lots to participate in the next round of the competition.
Even Arisu herself probably didn't expect that her action would bring a hurricane that swept the entire field to this otherwise unremarkable preliminary round.
Starting from the second round, Tianyin no longer participated in the game as just one of the contestants. Instead, she took the initiative to stand up and accurately point out the location of the undercover agent when voting to select the agent. Whenever someone questioned Tianyin's decision or the undercover agent wanted to refute Tianyin, she would give full play to the advantage of her huge reputation.
"Believe me."
This is a very ordinary sentence, but in this game of Who is the Spy, it has become Tianyin's exclusive trademark. As long as Tianyin says this sentence, the accuracy rate of guessing correctly will reach 100%. Of course, Tianyin has also used this sentence to trick her teammates when she is the spy. Hui, who played with Tianyin in five games with different identities, suffered the most from this.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone stared in disbelief at Tianyin's incredibly high score on the scoreboard.
In the "Who is the Spy" competition, each person has one minute to think and speak, plus voting time. Normally, it takes about five minutes to complete a game. Two hours means that Tianyin can only play about 24 games in total. However, Tianyin achieved an incredible 29 games and 42 points, ranking first on the leaderboard.
This shows that Tenon's scoring efficiency far exceeds that of others, and there must be many undercover games where they won, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve such an exaggerated score. You should know that even Arisu, who is ranked second, only played 22 games and scored 26 points. This shows how exaggerated the score Tenon obtained is.
Soon, Ms. Hoshinomiya compiled a list of the forty-eight contestants who had advanced to the main competition. Originally, according to Ms. Majima's plan, the main competition was to be held tomorrow. However, as more and more guests gathered and the students were having a great time discussing the matter, Ms. Majima decided after a brief discussion to schedule the first round of the main competition, the 48-to-32 match, for this afternoon.
So Tianyin and the others were divided into six groups to start the first round of an eight-person game of who is the undercover agent.
As soon as Tianyin sat down, she realized that everyone in the group was someone she knew.
There are four students in Class A alone: Airi, Amane, Kanzaki, and Yukimura.
The student in Class B is Shinobu Fukuyama.
Class C's student is Kaneda Satoru.
Class D consists of Nakanishi and Himeno.
It just so happened that it formed a group of four men and four women. Out of curiosity, Tianyin looked around at the composition of the other groups and was surprised to find that all the groups had four men and four women.
Is it really such a coincidence?
Amane had some doubts about the school's grouping and selection of participants for this competition. However, Amane was aiming to reach the finals and meet Arisu, so she wouldn't mind who she was paired with.
However, there was one small thing that made Tianyin a little curious.
"Himeno-kun, didn't Ayanoji make it into the main competition?"
Indeed, after looking around, Amane found it strange that Ayanokouji had not made it into the main competition. Given Ayanokouji's abilities, how could it be difficult for him to guess the identity of an undercover agent?
Ji Ye looked troubled when faced with Tian Yin's question. After hesitating for a moment, he answered in a low voice.
"It seems like Kiyotaka is being targeted because his breakup with Sato caused quite a stir. The second-year girls all think Kiyotaka is a scumbag. In the preliminary rounds, the team members were always two boys and two girls. As a result, Kiyotaka encountered a girl who deliberately voted him out as an undercover agent, preferring to lose the competition rather than let Kiyotaka get any points."
Amane was amused by the answer that made her both laugh and cry. She had thought that Ayanokouji would be eliminated in various ways, but she never expected his elimination to be so dramatic.
"But even if there are girls who deliberately try to sabotage Ayanokouji, how could he not even earn enough points to be in the top 48?"
"I do run into those people occasionally... but not often."
Ouch.
Amane then realized that Ayanokouji's current situation could almost be described as public enemy number one among women. No matter who was matched with him in a group, they would deliberately vote for him as an undercover agent. This kind of mindless voting method would not allow anyone to score points. If Amane were treated like this, she would probably have already lost her temper and considered whether to try to persuade him with kindness. The fact that Ayanokouji could still persevere like this shows that he has perseverance. It's just a pity that Sato will not be able to see Ayanokouji suffer here. Otherwise, Amane could already imagine what kind of face Sato would show when he saw Ayanokouji, who insisted on breaking up with her, participating in the competition and being boycotted by all the girls, and not even being able to enter the main competition.
"Now that everyone is ready, please draw your identities in the order of your seats. Please note that the rules for the eight-person game have been changed to two undercover agents."
It's much harder for two undercover agents to guess than for one undercover agent, because once the first undercover agent is voted out, he already knows what the commoner's poem is, and he can only disguise himself more meticulously afterward.
The participants drew their poem titles one by one.
Upon seeing the poem title in her hand, Tianyin immediately placed it face down on the table. While her outward appearance showed no change in her emotions, she was already cursing the person who set the question.
The poem title she received was 'male model'.
Tianyin finds it hard to imagine the mental state of the person who set this question when preparing it.
The first to describe was Kanzaki. Kanzaki was clearly not very familiar with the vocabulary in his hand, and he only spoke quickly when the time to answer was about to end.
"It is a very dazzling existence."
This description immediately alerted Tianyin, who began to suspect that she might be the undercover agent. Although there are some outstanding male models who are popular with a certain group, they don't seem to be particularly dazzling.
"The appearance of these people will cause other people to shout."
The Chinese and Western styles were described as the second most important.
Hearing this, Tianyin breathed a sigh of relief. This time, whether they were civilians or undercover agents, at least they were human. That meant there was still a way to gloss over the situation.
Next up is Kaneda, who is in third place.
"They all have a lot of fans."
In this way, the term "undercover agent" or "commoner" is narrowed down to celebrities, internet celebrities, idols, singers, and the like who frequently appear on stage, perform, or publish works.
The fourth person to speak was Airi. Airi thought for a moment, then pointed to herself with an embarrassed expression and began to speak.
"I used to be that person."
puff……
Amane forcibly controlled her facial expression to prevent herself from laughing out loud. She was certain that Airi's identity was the opposite of her own; otherwise, the thought of Airi saying that she had once been a male model would have made Amane burst out laughing.
Everyone present looked surprised after hearing Airi's words, except for Shinobu Fukuyama, who couldn't help but burst out laughing this time.
"Fukuyama-kun, are you alright?"
"Hahahaha I'm fine...you, hahahahaha...you guys continue...hahahaha I can't take it anymore...hahahaha my stomach hurts from laughing..."
Fukuyama Shinobu's exaggerated smile confirmed that there was something wrong with her identity, but the first round of speeches was not over yet, so everyone had to continue.
The fifth place is Tianyin.
"These people earn a good income every time they appear on stage."
Tianyin's unremarkable answer went unnoticed by the others.
The sixth place is Yukimura.
"They will dress in a very trendy and fashionable way."
The seventh place goes to Shinobu Fukuyama.
“They are very active on social media.”
The eighth place is Hime.
"Some people become this at a very young age."
"The first round of speeches is over. Please vote."
After the staff member finished speaking, Tianyin cast her vote for Jiye without hesitation.
This move aroused the curiosity of others, because when Tianyin was a civilian, the probability of finding the undercover agent was as high as 100%. Although Tianyin had deceived many people when she was an undercover agent, her judgment was crucial in the absence of evidence to prove that she was an undercover agent.
"Why do you think Hime-chan is an undercover agent? Amane"
"Yeah, Fukuyama is more like an undercover agent than me."
Himeko innocently defended herself while casting her vote for Fukuyama. In response, Fukuyama cast his vote for Himeko directly.
Now Hime has two votes.
"My judgment is simple. I believe that after the first round, everyone should know that the undercover agent's vocabulary and our vocabulary are not much different. Therefore, we can only judge who is right and who is wrong by focusing on the details. So please recall everyone's statements. They are basically all about our vocabulary. Only Hime mentioned a very abrupt word, age."
While the situation described by Hime-chan certainly exists, it should be an isolated case. After all, that kind of profession does have age requirements, and only a minority of people become famous at a young age. Therefore, I find it strange that Hime-chan specifically emphasized the age issue. I suspect that the term "undercover agent" refers to child star, which is probably why Fukuyama laughed so hard. Did they think they could fool us with a charade after Shinobu was exposed? How naive.
Chapter 326: Is the Undercover Agent Airi?
Faced with Amane's accusations, Hime hurriedly tried to defend herself, but because Amane deliberately slowed down her speech, the conversation stopped immediately after Amane finished speaking and the final vote began.
Yukimura glanced at Amane. He felt that Amane's words made some sense, but they were clearly different from her decisive attitude when she quickly obtained points.
In the preliminaries, Tianyin would most likely not have said so much to them; a simple "Trust me" would have been enough to gain the trust of the others.
It was Amane's explanation that made Yukimura suspicious. Unfortunately, the competition was called "Who is the Spy?" and the only way to determine if someone was a spy was to find flaws in their statements. As for how difficult it was to find flaws in Amane's statements, Yukimura, who was in the same group as Amane, knew very well.
Therefore, he could only hope that Tianyin would make a mistake in her later description. Otherwise, even if Tianyin really had a problem, it would be impossible to eliminate her by voting without any flaws in her description.
Seeing that both Amane and Fukuyama voted for Hime, everyone was at a loss and could only follow suit. As a result, Hime became the first student to be voted out.
Because the rules of the main competition stipulate that the undercover agent wins only when all undercover agents have been voted out or the number of civilians is less than four, there is only one chance to find the undercover agent.
Furthermore, the identity of the undercover agent will only be revealed after one side wins the game, which means that no one has any way of knowing whether the person they voted for is an undercover agent or a civilian.
With this feeling of unease, everyone entered the second round of the competition.
The second round of descriptions began quickly, and Kanzaki was the first person to be described, following the order of the previous descriptions.
Compared to Kanzaki, who was somewhat clueless in the first round, after listening to everyone's descriptions, Kanzaki roughly understood the specific meanings of the words in his own word group.
Therefore, Kanzaki was much bolder in the second round of descriptions.
“Many of these people have extreme fans.”
After Kanzaki finished speaking, he looked at Nakanishi, who was in second place. Nakanishi thought for a moment before cautiously beginning to describe the situation.
"After they become famous, many media outlets will report on their stories."
The third person described Kaneda in a leisurely manner, following Nakanishi's description.
"This group often includes people who are plagued by negative news."
The next person to describe her vocabulary was Airi. In the first round, her speech caused Fukuyama Shinobu to behave strangely. Although no one suspected her, Airi was unsure whether she was the undercover agent or Fukuyama Shinobu was. After struggling for a long time, she thought of a direction that no one else should have noticed.
"People in this profession usually have an agent to arrange their work, but some practitioners don't like to have too much contact with agents and choose to do it themselves."
"A certain amount of systematic training is required to be competent in this job."
Amane immediately guessed what the term "commoner" meant based on Airi's words.
'Idol'.
If Airi had only described the first half, Amane might have thought it was something like a celebrity. But Airi added the second half, which made Amane certain that Airi's word was definitely "idol." Because once it rises to the level of a celebrity, it's hard to say that one person can handle everything. A manager is indispensable, and many celebrities have to be affiliated with some companies. Without the help of a manager, it's difficult for a celebrity to have the energy to handle various contract situations.
Therefore, the conclusion drawn by Amane from combining Airi's two rounds of answers is that the word for common people is "idol".
Now that she knew what the common people's vocabulary was, Tianyin was absolutely confident that she wouldn't reveal any flaws.
Yukimura first carefully considered Amane's statement, and after finding no flaws, he could only helplessly proceed with his own description.
"They often organize parties, performances, and business events."
When Fukuyama, who was the last to speak, finally saw that it was his turn, he chuckled twice before describing the words.
"They interact very closely with their fans, and their main source of income is fan support."
"The second round of voting begins."
After everyone finished answering, the staff announced the start of the second round of voting. This round was much quieter than the previous one, because everyone's comments were almost all about the same thing. If it weren't for the fact that the game wasn't over yet and everyone was sure there were still undercover agents, they would probably think that the game had forgotten to include an undercover agent.
"Miyako-kun, what did you discover this time?"
Kinda spoke first, asking about Tenon, who was the strongest among those present.
If Tianyin had discovered something, the game would most likely be over. However, Tianyin showed no intention of stepping forward until the countdown began, which raises two possibilities.
