The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

I have to correct this mistake!

Not very rationally, Tsukishiro Yuki once again uttered Hoshino's repressive theory, and couldn't help but say those words in a tone that was not at all like 'Tachibana Sherry'.

'You can't do that'

Hoshino can't, and Meruru definitely can't.

Protect Meruru, block Meruru, and completely stop Hoshino when he gets close again.

A physical altercation.

Sherry Tachibana's magic is 'superhuman strength', so even if she goes a little overboard, it won't be a problem.

Obstruction, obstruction, and more obstruction.

Hoshino couldn't overcome this iron wall of his own!

Kind-hearted Rhea pulled Meruru away, and Hoshino sighed to himself.

After calming down a bit, and seeing that everyone seemed to have gone to eat, Yukishiro began to think about reconciliation.

'Reconciliation! Ceasefire! Let's have dinner together!'

As long as Hoshino speaks in a casual and lively manner like Tachibana Sherry, he will sigh helplessly, but in the end he will definitely hold her hand.

...But he didn't.

'We'd better not contact each other anymore.'

That's what he said.

He said this to himself.

This was the first time Hoshino had expressed such malice towards someone else.

Yuki Tsukishiro suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.

No, no, no, no, no, no—

Her movements were flustered, her face anxious, but she was met with his complete avoidance.

Unlike when I relentlessly pursued him at noon and in the afternoon, his attitude was one of indifference, though he didn't seem particularly concerned.

Instead, they can clearly feel the gap and avoid it.

"..."

It seems like I messed up.

But it also seems...

They didn't mess it up.

After all, it seems that Yuki's original intention was to wear the clothes of the other prospective witches and try to lower Hoshino's favorability towards them.

Conversely, Meruru was completely wrong that time.

It was because Meruru greatly increased Hoshino's affection for her that this mistake occurred.

So, so...

I, I, I didn't mess it up...

Waaah...

Even though Hoshino kept distancing himself from me, even though Hoshino kept leaving, even though Hoshino wouldn't let me sit next to him and eat with him.

I didn't mess it up!

Yuki Tsukishiro shouted this loudly.

I am right!

Otherwise, should I really let Hoshino and Meruru be all lovey-dovey in front of me?

The wicked and despicable Ice Meluru is using her lewd body to seduce Hoshino.

We absolutely cannot fail to nip any potential problems in the bud.

The only thing allowed is physical intimacy.

...That should be allowed, right?

Hmm, but I'll have to eat first!

The others discussed going to take a bath, but Hoshino probably gave up on getting close to Meruru for the time being because of her estrangement.

But Yuki Tsukishiro knew very well that Hoshino wouldn't give up so easily.

He's just looking for an opportunity.

And taking a shower is the best opportunity.

Yuki Tsukishiro placed her hand on Meruru Ice.

"Leah pulled Noah inside, and Heero and Emma are the best of friends in the world. It seems like we're the only ones who can be together."

"Are you happy, Meruru?"

"Snow, snow, snow, Sherry-chan..."

Meruru's body was trembling quite violently; she seemed genuinely happy.

This is clearly a sign of being so happy that he's shaking.

Pushing Meruru into the shower room, and glancing around briefly, Tsukishiro Yuki easily spotted Utsunomiya Hoshino hiding in the shadows.

Hmph, Hoshino really isn't very good at hiding.

It wasn't hidden well at all.

How can we do it well?

He hummed as he entered the shower room, watching as Meruru took off her outer clothes, revealing her lewd body.

...Suddenly, Yuki had an idea.

"You go ahead and wash up."

She casually turned on the tap, letting the water gurgle and make a sound. Yue Daixue half-removed her clothes, tossed the vest she was wearing aside, and let the spreading water stains soak the outer garment.

She didn't take off much clothing; it wasn't excessive, and it was very civilized.

It just seems relatively relaxed, which makes people feel less guarded.

It's that feeling of something being there, yet not there, appearing and disappearing!

She didn't take off her stockings or shoes, so she wasn't worried about her feet smelling bad after getting wet.

Yuki Tsukishiro was still bothered by what Hoshino Utsunomiya had said last time, referring to her as a witch who controlled strange odors.

Unbutton a few more buttons, and pull off the blue skirt...

Excellent! Ready to go!

It's just seduction! I think I can do that too! Aren't I more charming than Meruru?

Fold up the collar, fold up the shirt, and then—

"—Are you here to spy?"

She silently darted up to Hoshino! Then she pinned him against the wall!

Tell him that if it were me, I could show it to you!

I can peek through your collar!

With just a flick of my finger, I can make Hoshino fall in love with me at first sight and become so primal that he completely forgets about that jellyfish Meruru who came from who-knows-where!

...That was what Yuki Tsukishiro originally thought.

But why hide?

She could clearly feel the gaze sweeping towards her chest, but after a fleeting glance, it was immediately averted.

The first reaction is to run, the second reaction is to hide, until you realize there is a wall behind you and nowhere to retreat.

It seemed that Hoshino Utsunomiya had just stopped moving.

Instead, he placed his hand on her shoulder, which was extremely, extremely, extremely unexpected for Yuki Tsukishiro.

Say, 'I'm begging you.'

You have something to tell Meruru, or you have something to say to Meruru.

Could that be a good thing?!

I knew as soon as I heard that you were going to ask Meruru to kill you again!

But didn't I already say I'm a witch?! Meruru is a witch! A witch! Does she even know what a witch is?!

...Is it because I stabbed Hoshino that he didn't actually hear what I said?

Yukishiro Tsukishiro had some doubts.

I vaguely remember that she seemed to be...

She stabbed Hoshino first, then leaned close to Hoshino's ear, saying that she was a witch while wrapping her arms around Hoshino.

Will you temporarily lose your hearing if you are stabbed in the heart?

Will the sound become muffled?

gurgle...

Miscalculation!

No wonder Hoshino kept looking for Meruru; it turns out Hoshino had no idea that the Meruru from last time was the witch I played!

The witch kills people; some will die. Today is about to end.

...Let's end today then.

Yukishiro didn't want to listen to Hoshino Utsunomiya anymore; she wanted to.

Knock him out.

Headbutt! Chop! Knee strike!
