"...Next question! The Japanese word "darui" is derived from the English
word "dull." True or false?"
Eh?
I didn't even have time to think. Stop asking such silly questions! But if it's
true or false questions, then it's probably used to filter out a large number of
contestants. So while I was a bit depressed that I didn't know the answer to
that question, I guess I was also relieved at not having to answer.
The girl next to me also listened in.
She smiled and asked me, "So, what do you think?"
"Hmm,"
I know "saboru" came from "sabotage," so "darui" is probably the same, as it
didn't feel strange to me.
So I said softly, "True, I guess?"

As the 15 second time limit passed, a rope was raised surrounding the
contestants choosing the "True" and "False" circles. Looking around me, five
had chosen "True" while four chose "False." As a preliminary, this would
probably be the final round.
