Round 2



"Something is really wrong.."


"What's that?" Alice asked curiously. Daniel glanced at Alice for a moment and then said.


"Tell me, something's really wrong, you think?" Daniel asked back, Alice puffed her cheeks in disappointment at not being told what Daniel meant.


"Well, I think the strangest thing... Is number 15 still here.." Alice glanced at the 15th participant who was leaning against the wall with a strange look as well as worry. Daniel sighed heavily and closed his eyes.


"Is that so? The first round of voting ended in a narrow 10-to-12 difference, right? The difference in the results of the next round is also the same, 4 to 6, then that means it will be very likely we are heading to the worst case scenario." Daniel said with a serious look on his face, that seems to be what Daniel is currently worried about. Alice actually did not fully understand the meaning of his words, but maybe this had something to do with the 'X'. Did he really do anything?


"So, with you ten, we're going to go to the second round of voting." Call on the Dealer who solves their attention and thoughts. Their gazes turned to the front of the board with the dealer picking up a small ball for whom to ask questions.


"To begin with, let's select a player who will ask us a question." Say the Dealer while reaching into the box.


"J-so, how? Are we.. Will I change the plan?" Alice asked worriedly as well as making sure. Daniel paused for a moment to think something. The atmosphere in this room is getting tense because of fewer and fewer players.


"No. We're following this plan." Daniel replied Without looking at Alice. "Player number 11 ! Please move forward!" The dealer orders while showing the ball he gets to the players that the 11th player is selected.


"Just observe carefully all the movements of each player. We might find something."


"Pulse.. If you have to choose between "Es" and "Fire", then you'll choose "Es"." Said Riordan who had looked nervous, but he was able to do it.


"That's the question, everyone! "If you have to choose between Ice and Fire, then you will choose Ice." ! " The Dealer cried again the words of the number 11 player. This is done so that the player does not forget or do not know what questions are asked.


"If you feel you are 'Es', then choose yes. However, if you feel that you are 'Fire', then choose no."


I've been watching since the second half started. Observing all the players has become easier, as now there are only 10 players. If someone wanted to do something strange, he would be caught immediately.


"Hey, you've been on the road a long time!"


"Prophe donk, I'm thinking."


Some of them are playing various games, some are sitting and sleeping, some are eating or talking even not infrequently they laugh because they see or hear something ridiculous. Seeing that I was getting more anxious and worried, because there was nothing suspicious.


"..." - ".While daydreaming about observing them, I was suddenly startled by the sound of Aiko carrying food. "Alice, isn't the food amazing?" Chirps Aiko with a big smile. He occasionally tasted and wiped the sides of his lips using a tissue that had been prepared by DGT employees.


"I wonder how much more they will give us food! Eat Caviar with all!" Aiko exclaimed with a feeling of pleasure after tasting her food, she today ate an amazingly tasty and notoriously expensive meal. He had never tried it before.


Note: Caviar is the egg of sturgeon or salmon, and includes deluxe foods.


"Aiko!" Feeling a coincidence, Alice walked over with a face that was still worried. Aiko tilted her head in confusion.


"Have you realized anything since we last talked?" Alice asked, expecting Aiko to get something quite important. Aiko did not immediately reply, she was silent for a moment to dig memory² in the previous time.


"Daniel said that she felt something strange had happened.. Might as well.. Number 15 has really done something?" Alice asked back blankly ahead.


In Alice's mind there was the worst possible² going on and what exactly the 15 or maybe X player was doing, she was now eating quietly as usual.


"Daniel didn't say it was him, his words made people curious, like anyone could do it." Alice continued to make things complicated, maybe the X is not player 15. There are too many possibilities and lack of evidence.


"Hmm, who is it....?" Aiko stroked her chin thinking. Guessing² won't do any good, because they need something definite and little proof but it will help.


"All right! Alice, look carefully at player number 15 for 6 hours, and I'll try to talk to the others to find something."


Aiko made a decision that arguably is not much different from the first half. However, maybe this is the one² plan that can be done.


"okay!" With a quick nod Alice agreed. As they parted, Alice walked away from the group of people to observe her from a distance.


But he did not do anything strange. The things he did were always the same as in the first half. He fell asleep in the chair for a while, then when he woke up he walked towards the table that had provided so much food. After he finished eating, he continued to stand leaning against one of the walls and observed like Daniel. However, maybe it can not be proven definitively because he wears glasses.


In the end, I wasted 5 hours.


"Alice, how?" Aiko suddenly walked over to Alice while asking that. Alice looked down disappointed, "none.."


"Ck, fuck.. I didn't get anything either." Aiko clucked in annoyance while sighing harshly. Aiko circulated her gaze to take a look once again at the current situation. As time slowly grew less and less, Aiko remembered something.


"Hey, there's still 1 hour left and we haven't decided what we're going to choose."


"You're right."


"Aiko, what do you think you'll choose?"


"Hm, I'll choose yes. I'm Ice anyway. That kmau?"


"U-uh, I really don't know what to choose?" Alice shook her head badly.


"Then, choose yes! That way, if I win, you'll be with me! It's more soothing that we women are always together!" Aiko happily invited Alice to vote yes with her, indirectly Aiko urged Alice.


"Well..."


"Or don't tell me... You want to be with that Daniel?" Aiko asked in a slightly seductive tone.


"Bu-Not... N-It's not like that.."


"Hmmmm? Thenwhat? Is there something between you two?"


"Ah, I said no.. There's nothing..!" I refused that I had anything with Daniel.


To be honest... Until now, I've only thought about working with Daniel.. But he said..


"No! It would be better if we took a different path."


"Eh??"


"After all, that woman, Aiko, seems to be hesitant towards us. We are the first to think about this plan. Seeing us together all the time will cause others to doubt us. I understand your feelings. But, this is for our team.. Yea??" Daniel slightly rubbed his forehead, I don't know what the move meant. Alice is a little moody. He returned to Aiko who was sitting not far from his place.


"Aiko!"


Aiko looked back with a small smile.


"I thought that I would choose a different option from Daniel. He also said it was better." Alice was silent for a moment. Once again Aiko gave a small smile, then said, "yes, why not? Let's always be together!"


"Ah, dan.. He also said it would be better if we didn't break down the choice by gender."


Hearing that, Aiko frowned in surprise and strange with that statement.


"Huh?"


"X may still have a trick that he hasn't pulled out yet. And when that time comes, Daniel suggests that there are men and women in a team that will be better. With that idea in mind, he said that we should split up. I'm with Mr. Dipa to choose no, and you and Daniel to vote yes."


"Oh.." Feeling a less obvious and strange reason, Aiko still frowned, but she did not want to extend it. The result will be the same.


Seriate..
