The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

He wasn't bad enough, nor evil enough, and even seemed to lack a bit of resolve.

If you lack the resolve, then adapt, settle down, and follow the system's lead to conquer the witch before you.

But he can't even do that.

What ultimately appears is nothing more than this incredibly awkward situation.

The job of a bathhouse attendant.

Fortunately, the witch was just a young girl, petite, and her already incredibly light body had no room for any excess fat to grow.

Even if you turn the towel under your armpit to bring it to your face, it won't create any curve that can be seen from your back.

Hoshino Utsunomiya has done the most outrageous thing he could.

But there is one place.

It was something that couldn't be reached with just a towel, and he wasn't sure whether it should be washed clean or not.

Under the skirt.

"I'll do it myself."

Hesitant actions and lingering movements made Hoshino Utsunomiya's movements slow down. Not only was he aware of this, but the girl being washed, Yukishiro Tsukishiro, could also clearly feel his hesitation.

It's a mess, a complete mess.

It wasn't because of any closer physical proximity that my heart fluttered, nor was it because of any trivial physical contact that stirred something within me.

It's not an emotional issue at all.

Doing this kind of thing with someone you've only known for one day has virtually no chance of developing any romantic feelings.

Yuki Tsukishiro just felt it was a mess.

She herself is a mess.

Hoshino Utsunomiya was also in a very messy state.

She hastily wiped her already clean body, then wrapped the towel around her petite frame. Beneath her emotionless face lay a complex expression.

In the end, she didn't get rid of the man and let him do as he pleased.

My body was thoroughly cleaned.

Why is this happening?

Even Yuki Tsukishiro herself might not quite understand it.

Was it because his words and actions were full of contradictions, or because he realized that he was actually more like an ordinary human girl than he had imagined, and a sense of self-loathing arose in his heart? Or was it because he suddenly remembered the hallucination that he had not yet triggered, and felt that the mystery that was already surrounding him was now shrouded in even more mist?

Or.

I didn't actually think about anything; I just wanted this matter to become a fact, so that Hiro, Nikaido Hiro, would completely misunderstand.

They began to confront each other.

The complex emotions subsided, and the awkward feelings found their direction at that moment.

The girlish reactions that had unconsciously surfaced in Yuki Tsukishiro were also subdued at this moment.

Tsukishiro Yuki stood up, changed the towel into a bath towel, took it off in front of someone's gaze, then wrapped it back up, the sides pressed together, her hands clenched tightly.

This makes the bath towel look like a heavy yet light coat at this moment.

It felt like it might slip down at any moment.

Tsukishiro Yuki turned her head and glanced at Utsunomiya Hoshino.

"Your clothes are wet." It wasn't just her clothes that were inevitably soaked from the movement just now: "Change them?"

Although there were no clothes available for him to change into.

"...There probably aren't any clothes I can change into."

After a moment of silence, Hoshino Utsunomiya turned his head away from Yuki Tsukishiro and said.

Hoshino Utsunomiya felt that they were going in the wrong direction.

It's not that the reverse approach of lowering favorability is wrong.

Rather, the direction we are currently taking is wrong.

Choosing the right option that you can accept while also lowering your favorability during close-range activities requires a lot of micro-management.

It's not a remote corner that only skilled woodworkers can play.

In comparison, after reviewing all of today's actions.

A perfect operation that is 100% correct and error-free.

only one.

That bucket of water.

The action of collapsing onto Yuki's head caused everyone, including herself, to freeze in their tracks.

That is the most correct answer.

Other operations are unclear at the moment, so it's impossible to determine whether they are right or wrong, but this is the only operation that Hoshino Utsunomiya is certain is correct.

So it's okay if we fail this time.

I'll try a little harder next time.

As for the direction of our efforts?

...Does that even need to be said?

of course.

Bullying.

No method or form can compare to bullying. Being a bully is the most hated thing and the thing that can reduce others' goodwill towards you.

To be more accurate.

He became her 'only' bully.

Distinguishing herself from others, drawing boundaries between herself and others, she absorbed all the disgust she had felt towards the original bullies, inflicting all that disgust upon herself, and transforming that 'disgust' into 'murderous intent,' prompting the witch to make the decision to take action.

Do not be impatient, and do not be greedy for victory.

One day, I will surely make that witch's murderous intent rise!

But before that.

Finish the last step that wasn't finished yet.

'brush teeth'

If we're talking about any part of a person's body that has an odor that makes people disgusted, causing them to frown, instinctively cover their mouth and nose, and choose to stay away, then...

Body odor, sweat odor, bromhidrosis.

A wide variety.

But the most undeniable problem is still bad breath.

Although bad breath is not only caused by oral hygiene problems, gastrointestinal factors also play a role.

But not brushing your teeth properly is obviously not an option.

So, Hoshino Utsunomiya placed his hands on Yukitsuki's shoulders again, and before leading her to the washbasin, he whispered:

"Finally, let me brush your teeth for you."

Chapter 16 Brushing Teeth

Long hair, skin, dripping wet.

Her hair, infused with the scent of shampoo, exuded a fresh fragrance. A bath towel wrapped around her body, but her fair and delicate skin on her shoulders was strikingly visible.

This time there was no towel or bath towel between them; they were in direct contact.

This guy really doesn't smell bad at all.

But the scent that wafted through the classroom was indeed coming from Yuki Tsukishiro.

"..."

After a brief moment of thought, Hoshino Utsunomiya gave up on delving into the question at this moment. Instead, she scanned the table and took out one of the toothbrushes that clearly showed no signs of use.

"yours?"

"......Um."

This time the response was a bit slower.

The water cup, which also showed no signs of use, belonged to her as well.

Her 'parents' will prepare all her daily necessities.

However, she almost never uses it.

After all, although it is hers, it is not really hers.

Although Yuki Tsukishiro wasn't bothered by the utensils prepared for the dead, after all, she herself was the one who chose to take the place of the deceased.

But she still doesn't use these things too often.

So, if it's something like 'brushing your teeth'...

She didn't actually do much.

Even without doing so, a witch can maintain the necessary purity.

The magic of 'liquid control' is much more effective than a small toothbrush.

Brushing teeth is something that is incredibly commonplace for humans.

Every day, humans insert this stick-like object into their lips and teeth, rubbing it back and forth on their teeth, which are rarely exposed to the air and are quite private, in an attempt to clean them in this way.

"Shh-"

Hoshino Utsunomiya turned on the tap, and the tap water mixed with air bubbled and foamed in the glass before quickly receding.

"gargle."
