The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

It folded its wings and raised its claws.

"Alright, alright, there's no more Q&A session. Please refer to the witch encyclopedia on your phones for the specific details of the prison." It flapped its wings and flew up. "Finally, Warden, I sincerely wish everyone a pleasant weekend."

"Even though today is Monday."

The warden disappeared; he came through the ventilation duct and he left through the ventilation duct.

The seven people on the field were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"..."

The warden's first words sounded like the opening lines of a werewolf game, announcing that there was a traitor among them, that there was a mole among them.

In fact, the previous two games were played in a way that wasn't really a Werewolf game.

But what he said after that changed completely.

Turning around, the witch became a disciplinary committee member who appeared out of nowhere, holding a small notebook and watching as she scored and deducted points from them.

She still had to kill; it was as if the witch had an addiction that made her restless if she didn't kill someone.

This time, however, the murder was completely packaged perfectly, becoming a well-founded and seemingly well-intentioned act.

"..."

But murder is murder, and there is no room for excuses.

"Hmm..." After a moment of hesitation, Hoshino Utsunomiya was about to speak.

After all, Ryota Hasumi wasn't there this time, and the others on the field didn't seem to have any intention of taking the lead. It just so happened that he wasn't in such a hurry to die this time, so leading everyone to come up with an action plan for the next seven days should be a good choice.

But his words were interrupted by Nikaido Hiro, who was standing next to him.

"—The warden should have already made the situation quite clear." Nikaido Hiro reached out from his side and gently pressed Utsunomiya Hoshino back, seemingly signaling him to shut up, as if urging him to speak:

"The less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; the more you talk, the more mistakes you make; the more you do, the more mistakes you make."

She spoke to the others in a cold voice and with a cold face.

"If you're thinking of forming a group, or if you'd like to discuss anything else, please feel free to do so."

As he spoke, Nikaido Hiro hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to grab Utsunomiya Hoshino's hand.

Along the way, he repeatedly clenched and rubbed his warm palms together, which were now touching his hands, which seemed rather cold because of his wet body and the thin clothes he was wearing.

Observe his expression and pay attention to his reaction.

He was somewhat surprised, but he did not refuse.

So Nikaido Hiro went a little further, stretching out his five fingers, opening his palms, and clasping his hands together.

That way, we won't be forced to let go due to any unexpected events.

“But I don’t want to waste time on pointless discussions, so please allow me and him to leave now.” Taking Utsunomiya Hoshino’s hand, Nikaido Hiro turned around and continued to explain, “Since the warden has already made the necessary information clear, it would be inappropriate to let him continue to dress in such an indecent manner.”

"He might be labeled a 'wicked witch' who committed the crime of hooliganism."

"I'll take him to find a new set of clothes first. Goodbye."

Nikaido Hiro couldn't think of anything to say for the time being.

She didn't want to talk too much with those suspected witches, especially Shirley Tachibana, nor did she intend to do what Ryota Hasumi did last time, leading everyone and becoming some kind of team leader.

Right now, all she wants to do is protect Hoshino Utsunomiya first, and then she can think about what else she needs to do.

How can we protect Hoshino Utsunomiya?

She thought about it for a long time and analyzed it for most of the day before finally coming to a conclusion.

'Don't give him any opportunity to be alone with the witch'

Hoshino Utsunomiya's two deaths in his memories were both due to his one-on-one contact with the witch, and both were because he got too close to the witch.

Although previous deductions had concluded that the witch had fallen in love with Hoshino Utsunomiya at first sight and was in love with him.

But the witch killed Hoshino Utsunomiya herself, so whether she liked him or not... is hard to say.

But none of that matters. As long as I keep an eye on Utsunomiya Hoshino and make sure he doesn't leave my sight and get close to any witch...

He probably won't die so easily.

As for what the warden just said about deducting points, the evil witch, the seven days, and so on...

Nikaido Hiro didn't care at all.

Ha, do you think she believes it or not? If the witch were really such a good person, so rule-abiding, she wouldn't have been so weak and helpless before!

Believe whoever wants to believe what the witch or the warden says.

Anyway, Nikaido Hiro wouldn't believe it.

Witches don't follow rules; they can kill whomever they want.

But before killing Hoshino Utsunomiya, please kill her as well.

In short, Nikaido Hiro has already made this decision, but such a sudden move might arouse the witch's suspicion and make her target him in advance.

Even if she's unwilling to let go, she still needs a reasonable explanation for her current actions.

Just then, she noticed the Emma coat that Hoshino Utsunomiya was wearing.

And so, the words came out fluently.

Nikaido Hiro pulled Utsunomiya Hoshino away.

"Hey, hey, then I'll go too!"

Emma Sakura shouted, following closely behind.

"My coat, my coat is still on Hoshino."

She also had her own excuses.

The door to the reception room opened and closed, leaving the remaining four people looking at each other inside.

"They're gone." Shirley Tachibana scratched her head. "Do they all know each other?"

"Isn't this obvious at a glance, Desuwa?"

She pulled out a feather fan from somewhere and held it in front of her face, leaving Tono Hannah somewhat speechless.

Were the three of them in one room from the very beginning?

Hoshino Utsunomiya was still wearing Emma Sakuraba's clothes.

Now, Nikaido Hiro and he have even taken hands together.

If you said they didn't know each other, Tono Hannah would be the first to disbelieve it.

We too must depart.

Flipping through her sketchbook, Natsume Anan symbolically informed the others before turning and pushing open another door to the reception room.

"Huh? They've all left? Does that mean Noah can go back now?"

Noah Kinosaki rubbed his eyes, as if waking from a dream.

"Yes, yes, sure." Shirley Tachibana nodded casually, then turned to Hannah Tono: "It looks like it's just the two of us left now."

"If Hannah-san has nothing to do, why don't you come and wander around with me?"

She reached out her hand to Tono Hannah.

But Tono Hannah simply put away her feather fan and gave a soft hum.

"Hmph, whatever you want."

She wouldn't be like Hiro Nikaido, casually holding someone's hand.

The first day of prison life has begun.

Chapter 103 Wearing the Iron Bucket, Experiencing an Extraordinary Feeling

Hoshino Utsunomiya was being pulled along by Hiro Nikaido.

With fingers intertwined, I could feel the warmth of the girl's palm, a little sticky, as I was being pulled along.

Still holding hands, still passive, still ambiguous.

I mean, it seems like none of you understand what a sense of distance is...

He didn't particularly dislike this feeling. In fact, the fact that a girl would be so uninhibited in making physical contact with you is something that easily makes people feel good about you.

Hold hands, sit close to each other, sit face-to-face and laugh at you or something.

For young men with absolutely no dating experience, the damage is actually far greater than they imagine.

Even if the other party may not have meant it that way, it does make people tend to overthink things.

This is different from Emma Sakura.

Emma Sakura's closeness is not without reason; it is due to dependence and reliance.

If you don't want someone to take advantage of your vulnerability, it's best to keep a proper distance and remain a friend.

Be good to him, and be good to Sakura Emma too.

But if Nikaido Hiro did the same, it would be a completely different story.

Nikaido Hiro wasn't really his friend; as friends of friends, their relationship wasn't as close as one might imagine.

They didn't really have any reason to get too close, but Utsunomiya Hoshino also didn't have any reason to keep his distance from her.

To reiterate, she is different from Emma Sakura. Responding to Emma Sakura would make her already precarious relationship even worse. If she were to completely destroy her already thin social network, she would be finished.

But Nikaido Hiro is quite independent; she has her own ideas, her own pace, and she is very clear about what she is doing.

A glimpse can be gleaned from that lost "helping others diary".

Therefore, Hoshino Utsunomiya did not resist, believing that Hiro Nikaido should know what he was doing.

......should?

"Da da da..."

The sound of light footsteps echoed in the corridor. As soon as Nikaido Hiro pulled Utsunomiya Hoshino out of the reception room, she noticed a problem.

...It seems she went the wrong way.
