Transmigrated as the Side Top used as an Emotional Trash Can - Chapter 58.2
“Can I look around your room?”
“I’ll show you around after I finish washing the dishes. Sit in the living room-.”
Kim Jihwan was one thing, but Cha Gwonhyeok didn’t seem to have any intention of going home soon either. Since they had come over to visit, I felt obligated to entertain them.
Should we play a board game? I thought there were some I had received as gifts when I was younger in the storage room.
“Gwonhyeok-ah, do you like board games?”
Daily Quest: Say ‘I like you’ (4/10)
Gasp, you scared me.
Wow, it really counted them with incredible precision. Were the three counts from when I said it to the adults over the phone this morning? I didn’t even remember, but I had still done everything I needed to while sick.
“I don’t dislike games.”
“That’s a relief. I absolutely love games. I’ve tried all kinds of things to win.”
Daily Quest: Say ‘I like you’ (4/10)
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Baek Hanrim play a game.”
“I like winning too much, so I don’t play with people I dearly love.”
Daily Quest: Say ‘I like you’ (5/10)
I naturally completed the Daily Quest while talking to the kids. I had five times left. There was another easy way to take care of those.
“Guys, I’m going out to the balcony for a sec.”
After finishing the dishes, I wiped the water from my hands on my apron and stepped out onto the balcony. I headed toward the system loophole I had recently discovered.
“I love you, I like you.”
The blue mold I had carefully cultivated on a piece of bread.
“I love you, I like you.”
The lettuce in the balcony planter.
“I love you, I like you.”
The sparrow sitting on the outdoor air-conditioning unit.
“I love you, I like you.”
The bifidobacteria inside the yogurt.
Daily Quest: Say ‘I like you’ (10/10)
A reward will be given.
Random Reward
If the system was going to screw me over, then I only had to grit my teeth and find loopholes too. Endure someone like me, system.
Pop!
“Hm?”
Instead of the usual pink box, a red box dropped onto my palm as the reward. It didn’t feel ominous like the black box had, but the different color still made me nervous.
“This is… It’s not like I can leave it unopened…”
I simply shut my eyes tightly and opened the box. Holding on to it without opening it made me even more anxious.
“Truthful…?”
I stood blankly for a moment at the system message floating before me. Wasn’t a liar game a psychological game where one person was designated as the liar and everyone received prompt words?
You are not the Liar. Find the Liar.
Prompt Word: Friend
“Friend…? And what does it mean that the Liar can’t lie?”
A game slightly different from the liar game I knew was about to begin. Wasn’t it called a liar game because the Liar lied?
For example.
A – Apple
B – Apple
C – Kiwi
D – Apple
If everyone else received Apple while only C received Kiwi, then C would be the Liar.
Each person could only know the prompt word they had received. The Liar had to hide the fact that their word was Kiwi, determine everyone else’s word, and pretend that theirs was Apple. If they avoided being identified until the end, they won.
Q. What comes to mind?
A: ‘A monkey’s bottom’ comes to mind
B: It reminds me of ‘Snow White’
C: There’s a ‘bird’ that resembles it
D: The fruit from the ‘Garden of Eden’
A, B, D: C is the Liar! What bird looks like an apple!
C: Damn…
That was the elimination scenario.
Q. What comes to mind?
A: ‘A monkey’s bottom’ comes to mind
B: It reminds me of ‘Snow White’
C: It’s ‘sweet and sour’
D: The fruit from the ‘Garden of Eden’
A, B, D: Who’s the Liar?
C: Isn’t it D? The fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was never specified.
A, B: Is that so?
This was the victory scenario, where the Liar concealed their identity, manipulated the others, and survived until the end. There was only one vote, so they had to choose the Liar carefully.
“But a ‘Truthful’ Liar Game? A Liar who can’t lie would be at a disadvantage… Is that why it only lasts fifteen minutes?”
