The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

The situation has not changed, of course, and she will not be like Emma, ​​who would inexplicably choose to try to believe someone she doesn't understand.

just.

Calling the police directly was indeed too ill-considered.

What if we anger the assailant? What if we worsen Xiaoxue's psychological trauma?

Once you calm down, you can quickly rule out calling the police.

Calling the police should only be a last resort when all else fails.

"Um, Hiro-chan." Emma Sakura gently raised her hand and tugged at her sleeve: "When Yuki was taken away, did she... say anything?"

say what?

Nikaido Hiro was momentarily dazed.

Yuki Tsukishiro was kidnapped by thugs; she was abducted by evil gangs.

What could she possibly say?

What will she say?

The scene of confronting Hoshino Utsunomiya not long ago replayed in my mind.

She questioned Hoshino Utsunomiya, who lied. She lost control of her emotions, and Hoshino Utsunomiya ran away.

......like.

Yuki Tsukishiro said nothing.

She was like a doll, letting Utsunomiya Hoshino carry her and take her away.

Voluntary?

No, no, no, absolutely not.

The man's provocative gesture, the way he lifted Xiaoxue up like a trophy—everything spoke volumes.

Hoshino Utsunomiya is evil.

Xiaoxue's reason for not resisting was simple.

Because she's afraid of heights!

Once lifted up, they will realize that they are very high off the ground when they look down, and they will be so afraid that they dare not resist, speak, or move!

Yes, that's right, that's exactly it!

Completely forgetting his usual routine of enjoying the breeze on the rooftop with Emma Sakuraba and Yuki Tsukishiro, Hiro Nikaido reached a conclusion that he could accept at this moment.

"I didn't say anything; that kind of thing isn't important."

Nikaido Hiro shook his head and quickly walked away.

As the school bell finally rang, Emma Sakura blinked and quickly followed in her footsteps.

......

bathhouse.

Although Japan is a country where most normal households have bathtubs for washing, facilities like public bathhouses still exist.

Hoshino Utsunomiya was not familiar with the surrounding geographical facilities, but fortunately, the current technology was enough for him to easily find the nearest bathhouse.

only......

Not yet open for business

The locked gate and the sign hanging at the entrance blocked Hoshino Utsunomiya's way.

Clearly, the public bathhouse is not open for business at this time.

Eh...

"The door is not open."

He said.

"Ah."

She responded.

"It seems too early."

He said.

"Ah."

She responded.

"In that case, shall we go to your place or mine?"

He said.

"Ah."

She still responded.

They're absolute yes-men!

Hoshino Utsunomiya gave up trying to communicate; he felt a little powerless.

Fine, let me think about it and decide for myself. I always feel like she'll just go along with whatever I do.

In fact, after leaving school, he never mentioned Tsukishiro Yuki again, nor did he push or pull her along.

But she obediently followed behind him.

It seems the witch is very determined to kill me.

Then I can't be too pretentious.

Since the public bathhouse is closed, let's choose a more suitable place.

Miss Witch's house must be her stronghold; it's unimaginable how impregnable it could be with the help of magic.

If you just barge in, you'd probably die as soon as you open the door.

I don't know if dying like this counts as being killed by a witch.

However, the excuse he used to pull her out was to help her take a bath, on the condition that 'there was no bathing facility at her house'.

...Although these words were said by Hoshino Utsunomiya himself, thinking about them again still feels quite subtle.

Extremely neurotic logic.

For any normal girl, this would definitely be pure sexual harassment.

Outrageous, lacking in boundaries, shameless.

However, if we follow this logic, he shouldn't have chosen the witch's house; he should have gone to his own house instead.

...Although that thing hadn't yet become a home in his heart.

The accommodation arranged by the system was a simple four-and-a-half-tatami room, a tidy and spacious 'dwelling'.

If you want to continue living in this world, you will naturally need to acquire more things.

However, Hoshino Utsunomiya doesn't need it, so this level of functionality is sufficient.

The only problem is...

It's probably not a good place to kill someone and dump the body.

It's crowded, cramped, and water supply is probably inconvenient; it's an apartment building with small rooms crammed together.

Both dismemberment and shredding require a lot of water, and handling the remains is also a problem when there are many people.

The witch certainly possesses magic, but if her magic could directly annihilate her own existence, she wouldn't need to resort to such a method to bring herself to a deserted place.

In conclusion, there is only one possible conclusion.

"Then let's go to your house."

He said.

"Ah."

The witch, Tsukishiro Yuki, once again gave the expected answer.

The favorability rating wasn't lowered enough in Chapter 13!

The house of Yuki Tsukishiro.

The Witch's Mansion.

When Utsunomiya Hoshino first stepped into the girls' dormitory, she never expected the situation to be like this.

It's not a step into a relationship where you're holding hands and things are on the right track, nor is it a step into a situation where you've met someone out of desperation and just made do with them.

Instead.

In order to give the witch a bath... oh wait, no.

The house of a girl who was killed.

My feelings are a bit complicated.

Is this where I'm going to die?

What would death feel like? I wish it weren't too painful.

Now, surprisingly, Hoshino Utsunomiya felt a bit nervous.

"Speaking of which, was that girl your friend? Her name is Nikaido Hiro."

The door to the house clicked shut, and the girl slowly changed her indoor shoes in the entryway. Utsunomiya Hoshino casually asked a question.

Perhaps to ease the tension, he couldn't help but open his mouth, even though he hadn't originally intended to ask such a question.

Say something, say anything, anything at all, just say whatever comes to mind.

With a click, the switch was pressed, and the lights inside the house were turned on. Soon, the house, which was not large but had many traces of life, was illuminated.

Hoshino Utsunomiya didn't expect Yuki Tsukishiro, who had been pretending to be dead since earlier, to respond.

but.
