The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

"..."

...So, this counts as...messing up...?

Tachibana Sherry didn't know.

All she knew was that when she walked into the cafeteria, the other six people were already sitting together in pairs at tables.

Hasumi Rhea and Ice Meluru, Nikaido Hiro and Kinosaki Noa, Utsunomiya Hoshino and Sakuraba Emma.

Pick up the plate and serve dinner.

What I want to do is to casually approach and sit down together, just like at noon, and to experience the atmosphere of eating together again.

But the reality was that as soon as she sat down, he got up.

This time, he no longer tolerated her getting closer.

Chapter 92 Let's End Today (5k)

Hoshino Utsunomiya had been looking for an opportunity.

Meruru on Ice has another chance to be alone.

Although he asked Emma to pass on his message, he didn't think the invitation would be successful.

We still have to follow the plan we just came up with.

Let's prepare for both possibilities. If the flower field accepts the invitation, then we'll use magic. If the flower field doesn't accept it, then we'll atone with our deaths.

As the clock ticked, Emma Sakura delivered the expected response.

Refuse.

It's understandable that Meluru on Ice was avoiding him and didn't accept his invitation for a private meeting.

This is not surprising.

Therefore, the plan to make the flower field bloom again came to an end.

And the plan to atone with death officially began.

......

Considering that hot water is only available for a few hours in the evening, and that we had just arrived at the prison today and spent the morning and afternoon exploring, we were all sweating a bit.

The girls decided to take a bath.

The shower room is located on the first floor, near the atrium.

The glaring incandescent light bulbs, the yellowed tiled walls, the broken mirror, and the shower area separated by a white screen.

And of course, there's also the white bathtub placed in the middle.

The bathtub looks quite clean. If it weren't placed in what appears to be a dirty environment, many young women would probably feel comfortable using it.

There appears to be a garbage pipe on the wall leading directly to an underground incinerator, while on the other side there is a locker with a sign.

Each person's wardrobe was divided according to their number in the witch encyclopedia.

Inside were identical changes of clothes, just like the ones they were wearing.

Including the inner garment.

The Witch's Compendium specifically stipulates that worn clothes must be disposed of in the incinerator through a nearby garbage chute.

Hoshino Utsunomiya didn't quite understand the significance of this rule.

He originally thought that perhaps it was to prevent the girls from accumulating clothes and then tying them up with ropes to hang themselves on the spot.

But after thinking about it, if they wanted to twist their clothes into a rope to hang themselves, one of their thick dresses would be enough.

Therefore, he still couldn't understand the meaning of this rule.

Since the prison was rich and capricious, it didn't plan to assign someone to be responsible for laundry, nor did it plan to let the prisoners do their own laundry and drying. So, it simply used the budget to prepare enough clothes for everyone to burn every day.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Hoshino Utsunomiya.

He doesn't wash.

It's not like I'm slaughtering a pig. Why would I wait to wash myself clean before begging the witch to kill me?

His connection was with the girls who went into the shower room.

There were six girls present. Although the shower room was not small and had screens for privacy, it was still too much of a stretch to let all six girls go in and shower together.

At most, only about three people are allowed to wash up at the same time.

Water was filled in the bathtub beforehand for one person to soak in, while the other two people used two separate showerheads separated by a screen.

Ideally, the showers would be used in turn, but considering the time factor and the time it would take for the girls to shower, this is not feasible.

...They reluctantly accepted the suggestion to bathe together.

Taking a shower together might result in less than ideal water pressure, but it's still better than waiting until there's no hot water left during the lockdown.

This is what Hoshino Utsunomiya was waiting for.

It's not about spying; these days, spying in the bathroom is a bit outdated.

All he wanted was this time to shower together as a couple.

As long as it's not Tachibana Sherry and Ice Meluru taking a shower together, there will always be times when Meluru is outside the bathroom, taking advantage of the girls taking turns in line.

Whether before or after taking a bath, there are opportunities to chat.

This time, he had made preparations in advance. He had secretly tucked the crossbow bolts from the reception room into his pocket, ready to take them out and put them into Meruru's hand at any time.

The shower room door faces the infirmary door, and the storage room is right next to it.

I can wait in the corner of the storage room.

With everything prepared, all that's left is to approach and infiltrate.

He deliberately gave up the opportunity to get close to Ice Meluru in the cafeteria, in order to show that he was inherently harmless and lower the guard of other girls.

It's hard to say whether it will work, but as long as the other three people outside the shower aren't all watching and blocking him, there won't be a problem.

Considering that Emma Sakura is her good friend, that leaves only the two of them.

So, Hoshino Utsunomiya hid in the shadows of the storage room.

"Splash, splash..."

The sound of running water began to come from the direction of the shower room.

She finished washing up first, her body radiating heat, and came out wearing only her underwear and a simple coat.

It is Hasumi Ryoga and Kinosaki Noa.

Putting back into that gorgeous but incredibly thick prison uniform right after taking a bath was torture. My body was already constantly losing heat, and wrapping myself in it like that made me sweat even more.

Therefore, the two girls' current attire is actually surprisingly refreshing.

All sorts of miscellaneous accessories, thick coats, loose outerwear, and even fluffy skirts have been removed.

Unfortunately, Hoshino Utsunomiya couldn't peek out to look.

He simply hid in the shadows, listening to the sounds, counting the footsteps, and glancing at the backs of the two girls as they gradually walked away. Then, he secretly changed his angle, gently lifting his leg from the shadows of the corner near the shower room to the shadows of the living room.

In this way, people coming from that direction will have a hard time noticing that he is actually hiding here unless they suddenly turn around.

Patience is a virtue.

Holding her breath, Hoshino Utsunomiya waited patiently for the girls to arrive.

Finally, the sound of light footsteps rang out.

What we hope to see is a combination of Emma or Shiro and Sherry Tachibana, and what we hope to leave behind is the image of Meruru on Ice.

Or, Emma and Meruru could also be mentioned.

Actually, if Utsunomiya Hoshino wanted to achieve such a combination, he should have told Emma in advance and asked her to try her best to be with Meruru.

This will increase the probability.

But now that I've already asked her to pass on a message once, it would be wrong to ask her to do this again.

This seems like a one-sided exercise of ordering Emma around.

If he hadn't planned to die, things might be better.

But he insisted on dying.

It's better not to owe Emma too much.

"Waaah..."

A soft hum, footsteps gradually passing by, and Utsunomiya Hoshino soon saw the two backs he least wanted to see.

Sherry Tachibana and Meruru Ice.

Tachibana Sherry placed her hands on Ice Meluru's shoulders and slowly pushed her towards the shower room.

Because only her back could be seen, it was impossible to see her face clearly. But for some reason, Hoshino Utsunomiya was able to sense the complex emotions emanating from Meru on Ice from the back that was mostly obscured by Sherry Tachibana.

His body seemed somewhat stiff, his ears were slightly red, and his steps were both hurried and a little slow.

It's unclear whether she's resisting or anticipating.

"..."

As the sound of rushing water rang out again, Hoshino Utsunomiya slumped heavily against the wall behind him.

...He hates Tachibana Sherry.

I hate Tachibana Sherry's cheerful expression, I hate Tachibana Sherry's protective actions towards Meruru on Ice, I hate Tachibana Sherry's inexplicable approach, and I also hate Tachibana Sherry's inexplicable hostility.

Oh, and of course, he also disliked Tachibana Sherry's blue hair.

Stinky blue hair.

Why bother having so much strength?

While waiting for the girls to take their bath, Hoshino Utsunomiya also asked the stupid system a question.

The answer I received...

[Host, host, your superhuman strength is human magic, while Miss Sherry's superhuman strength is the magic of a prospective witch. In other words, your male superhuman strength is no match for her female superhuman strength, which is perfectly reasonable.]
