The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

But the returns are extremely high in proportion to the risks.

If she succeeds, she might be able to replace that person in his heart and occupy a larger place in his heart.

...This is for Hoshino's own good.

He can no longer dwell too much on that person's existence.

As for what happens if it fails...

She also has death rewind!

cough.

wrong.

It's unlikely that she would choose to commit suicide and rewind for something like this. Even if she failed, given Hoshino's gentleness, it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

......should?

The only thing that still makes Nikaido Hiro hesitate.

It is a young girl's reserve.

She had just mentally berated Emma for her physical advances, but now she was resorting to the same tactics herself...

No, no, no, you can't think like that.

As long as I approach this with the purest intentions from the very beginning, there won't be any problems!

My purpose is very pure!

but......

How should I tell Hoshino?

The girl couldn't help but fall into thought again.

What reason did Hoshino give when he dragged that person to take a bath?

It's dirty and smelly, and then, 'If you can't take a shower at home, I'll come and help you take one.'

This is roughly what I heard from someone else, a direct paraphrase.

He just couldn't stand it.

So, should I also learn to make myself so dirty and smelly that he can't stand it anymore?

...I can't do it.

Although Nikaido Hiro isn't overly obsessed with cleanliness, she does take her body quite seriously.

It was so dirty and smelly that even she couldn't stand it.

So, how about we find a way to get Hoshino dirty and then drag him to help him take a bath?

They reversed the roles, placing him in the position of being helped to wash his body...

...I can't do it.

I can't think of any way to get Hoshino dirty, and besides, he'll clean himself up if I do.

Everyone is capable of taking care of themselves, as demonstrated in the previous two days.

No one needs someone else's help to take a proper bath...

Wait.

Nikaido Hiro thought of a name.

The name of a disobedient, immature, unkind, and unlovable...bad child.

'Noah Kinosaki'

Noah Kinosaki doesn't like taking baths.

She didn't know about this at first.

After all, even the worst person should be able to take care of themselves in the most basic way, right?

Sleeping, eating, washing up, relieving oneself.

So on the first day, Nikaido Hiro didn't notice that Kinosaki Noah avoided the shower room.

Of course, she wouldn't notice, since the first day was her day.

But the next day, when Hoshino Utsunomiya was taken away by Emma Sakuraba, leaving her alone with the task of finding an art studio for Noah Kinosaki.

It's really hard not to notice.

It has a flavor.

You naughty kid.

It wasn't an emotional outburst of insults, but rather a literal, flavorful one.

Nikaido Hiro initially thought it smelled like a prison, since the entire building exuded a musty and old-fashioned atmosphere.

But after careful inspection, she realized that the scent was coming from Noah Kinosaki.

At first, Noah Kinosaki denied it, but under her serious questioning, she finally admitted that she hadn't showered on the first day.

With a long sigh, when the hot water was supplied in the evening, Nikaido Hiro grabbed Noah Kinosaki and dragged him into the shower room.

At first, Noah Kinosaki was still resisting and struggling to escape.

But when the shower door closed and hot water poured over her little head, she finally calmed down.

It's probably because it's already wet.

Rather than resisting and running away soaking wet, it's better to accept it obediently.

Actually, according to the rules in the Witch's Compendium, not taking a bath would definitely result in a deduction of points.

To be precise, not changing clothes will result in a deduction of points.

Because the clothes that are taken off are to be burned in an incinerator regularly.

Not following the rules will definitely result in points being deducted.

But since Noah Kinosaki had already behaved himself, Hiro Nikaido no longer used such reasons to restrain him.

The brand-new Kinosaki Noah, now free of any unpleasant odors, is freshly baked.

Although, although she could have easily dragged Noah Kinosaki to take a bath again like yesterday, or used some unmentioned reason for deducting points to force Noah Kinosaki to take a bath.

However, it seems that Noah Kinosaki may have a more appropriate use now.

......

"There's something I'd like to ask Hoshino for a favor."

Not long after his confinement ended, Nikaido Hiro spoke to Utsunomiya Hoshino in this way.

"what's up?"

“It’s related to Noah.” That’s what she said first, and then she went on to explain the details:

Noah doesn't really like taking baths.

"They don't really like listening to me either."

She added softly.

“It’s really not good to not take a proper bath.” Hoshino Utsunomiya nodded.

Nikaido Hiro looked slightly annoyed: "Although I did manage to get her to take a shower yesterday, she just won't go into the shower room today."

"So I was thinking, if it were Hoshino, maybe I could make her obey."

"Hoshino, can you help Noah take a proper bath?"

Chapter 123 His movements were not unfamiliar.

The girl reached out her hand to him.

Clearly, the focus is not on Noah, nor on the bath.

Instead, it's about 'being with me'.

However, she did use very sophisticated packaging to make it seem like her only goal was Noah Kinosaki.

Mischievous Noah Kinosaki, naughty Noah Kinosaki, disobedient Noah Kinosaki.

I, Nikaido Hiro, can't control her.

But you can.

You, Hoshino Utsunomiya, can do it.

So please help me.

As for why I locked the door as soon as I helped Noah into the shower room.

That's none of your business.

We agreed to help me wash, so we'll help me wash.

It's not enough to just bring people in and call it a day.

The girl's words were full of selfish motives.

Unfortunately, Hoshino Utsunomiya didn't have the ability to read minds, and faced with such a sincere request from Hiro Nikaido.

He clearly had no reason to refuse.

Therefore, he found Noah Kinosaki, who was always in the studio, only coming out to sleep during curfew periods, and then going back to the studio after waking up.

The easel against the wall had been set up. Noah Kinosaki brought a small stool from somewhere and sat in front of the easel, staring intently at the white paper in front of him.

She was indeed drawing; the messy, crumpled pieces of paper on the ground, still showing various colors, were her masterpiece.

However, she is clearly still stuck in the most painful and agonizing period for creators: stagnation.

Can't draw it.

"Noah." So, Hoshino Utsunomiya called her name softly.

I was thinking that if she was drawing, I would wait a little while and not interrupt her concentration.
