The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Sherry Tachibana's current behavior is not only failing to lower people's guard, but is also making her increasingly suspicious.

In Hero's mind, the witches were shrouded in mystery, shrouded in enigma, lurking among them, disguising themselves as others, exerting pressure on them in a mysterious way, and being feared by all.

Can......

Sherry Tachibana completely overturned her understanding of witches.

Although she had already confirmed that Tachibana Sherry was probably the witch, she still couldn't help but have doubts at this moment.

...Could there really be a witch who is this stupid?

Did he pretend to be a fool and lose his brain?

“…” With a soft sigh, Nikaido Shiro turned her head: “Rhea, before you were captured, did you know any witches?”

Since she wants it, I'll just play with her a little longer.

"I've never even heard of the word 'witch' before."

Ryota Hasumi spread her hands.

Emma, ​​what about you?

Hiro turned his head again.

“No, I don’t know her…” Sakura Emma shook her head repeatedly.

Ultimately, her only social connections are Hoshino, Hiro, and Koyuki.

There's no witch out there.

Noah.

Without even asking, Nikaido Hiro looked at Kinosaki Noa.

"I don't know," was Noah Kinosaki's answer.

I don't know anything about witches or anything like that.

I asked around, but in the end, I didn't ask anyone...

“Utsunomiya Hoshino.” Nikaido Shiro looked at Utsunomiya Hoshino, who hadn’t said much.

Do you know any witches?

"..." Hoshino Utsunomiya was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "No."

As smoothly as flowing water, he revealed the 'false evidence'.

I do not know any witches who are still alive.

So if I had to say something, it wouldn't be a lie.

"It seems no one recognizes the witch."

Nikaido Hiro shrugged.

"Then, what's wrong?"

Although she had seen her ask a series of questions, Tachibana Sherry still didn't quite understand.

"Utsunomiya didn't know any witches before entering this prison," Nikaido Hiro said quietly, mimicking the tone Tachibana Sherry had used when she turned her attention to him. "Then why is he, a man, here of all people?"

"Could it be... that the witch actually fell in love with him at first sight?"

"What a coincidence."

"There just happens to be someone here who fell in love with Utsunomiya at first sight."

Strictly speaking, this logic of identification is not rigorous.

But Nikaido Hiro didn't care about all that.

Didn't you see that Tachibana Sherry no longer cares about logic?

Ultimately, at this point, logic is no longer what matters.

Whether it's logical or not is irrelevant.

"Gurgle..."

Shirley Tachibana's cheerful expression turned somewhat grim again.

Without giving Tachibana Sherry a chance to retaliate, Ryota Hasumi, supporting her cheek with one hand, said in the same nonchalant tone, "I wonder who said they weren't infatuated with Hoshino-kun just now, but then turned around and said something contradictory like they fell in love with Hoshino-kun at first sight."

"I'm really curious about who it is, but unfortunately my memory is a bit hazy. I hope someone can remind me."

She was pretending to ask a question, but someone seemed to genuinely take her words as a question and raised their hand.

“Noah knows, it’s Sherry!” Noah Kinosaki answered, raising his hand.

Shirley Tachibana's complexion seemed to have worsened even further.

Observing the changes in Tachibana Sherry's expression, Nikaido Hiro felt that it was about time.

If this drags on any longer, she might continue to encourage herself in that incredibly ugly way, and then speak up again in a loud voice.

Therefore, it is necessary to deliver the final blow.

"But it's a pity that, although someone fell in love at first sight and shamelessly did so much, tirelessly sticking around her all day long..."

"—But that person didn't seem to have any feelings for her at all."

Chapter 97 I am a witch

"Right? A witch?"

The cold words melted away the moment they were spoken, and a smile bloomed on Nikaido Hiro's face.

Her eyes were bright and her smile was charming.

"..."

The girl, displaying an exquisite smile, gazed at the witch before her, watching her expression change little by little, watching her chest rise and fall, watching her in this instant.

His own words broke through his defenses.

“…” Tachibana Sherry’s hand once again gripped the corner of the witness stand.

Cracks appeared, and debris fell.

"What do you even know about Hoshino?!"

Just as Nikaido Hiro had predicted, Tachibana Sherry broke down.

A very pleasant voice, and a very impressive response.

A slightly sinful sense of pleasure, which shouldn't have been there, quietly rose within me.

Although he knew that this was about it, seeing Tachibana Sherry's reaction, Nikaido Hiro couldn't help but continue speaking.

"Well, I don't know Utsunomiya Hoshino very well." Her smile widened even more. "But anyone who isn't blind can see the difference between his reaction to you and his reaction to others, right?"

"He was so gentle with Emma, ​​and he cared so much about Meruru."

"But for you..."

Deliberately, Nikaido Shiro paused at this moment to observe Tachibana Sherry's reaction.

Sherry Tachibana's expression turned even uglier.

That's how it should be, that's how it should be, because she's a witch, so this is the right way. You can't show mercy to witches; you have to kill them all!

"Although I think you should know best, in order to make your memory clearer..."

"—Let me speak." After clearing her throat twice, Hasumi Ryoya gestured for herself to take over: "Hoshino-kun has never accepted traveling with you. You were the one who shamelessly approached him. The only person he has ever allowed to travel with you has always been Emma."

"Even though you shamelessly followed him, he seemed to ignore you from beginning to end. His indifference should say it all."

"It's a pity you pretended not to understand his expression and continued to follow him despite his kindness."

At the time, I didn't pay much attention to her repeated curses while following behind, but now when Hasumi Ryoa thinks back on it, she feels it's quite a strange feeling.

The sense of sorrow was almost overflowing.

"Not this." Seeing that Hasumi Ryoa seemed to want to go through it all again from beginning to end, Nikaido Hiro shook his head and said, "It's now."

"Haven't you noticed that Utsunomiya hasn't said much since the Witch Trial began?"

Even though everyone calls you a witch, he doesn't defend you in the slightest.

Not only did he defend Noah, but when Sherry Tachibana pointed out Noah, Hoshino Utsunomiya even spoke up to correct and defend Noah.

“Compared to what you said…” Nikaido Hiro raised his hand and pressed it to his chest: “He might even care more about me.”

Raising his head, Nikaido Hiro revealed a hint of confidence.

This is not complacency.

Hiro Nikaido was quite confident in her looks, so it was only natural that she might accidentally capture someone's heart.

Of course, she wasn't confident enough that Utsunomiya Hoshino was already infatuated with her.

But comparing Tachibana Sherry to this moment...

She felt that she had a higher level of affection for herself.

Sherry Tachibana: "...?"

Tachibana Sherry seemed to laugh in exasperation.

"Care about...you?" She seemed to have heard something unbelievable. "You mean, he cares about you more?"

Is this something strange?

Nikaido Hiro didn't understand Tachibana Sherry's reaction.

"Ah, yes, he definitely cares more about me."

She nodded quite readily.

What's there to question? Does Tachibana Sherry really think she has a high level of affection for Utsunomiya Hoshino?

Even a stranger should be taller than her.

"You stopped him from contacting Meruru, whom he cares about, knocked him unconscious on the spot, took him back to the cell, and even killed Meruru last night." Nikaido Hiro looked completely bewildered: "What makes you think he would have any feelings for you?"

"Based on conjecture?"
