The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

If Hannah Tohno were a witch, the warden shouldn't be asking such a question at this moment.

Unless the witch keeps even her owl a secret.

Noah Kinosaki is not a witch.

...So, the witch is Natsume Anan?

Her act of stepping on Noah's foot just now seems to fit the identity of a witch.

However, such a distant and evasive attitude meant that there was almost no communication between them.

This contradicts previous assumptions.

Whether a witch likes or dislikes herself, she shouldn't act so distant.

She should at least try to get close to him.

I still don't understand.

The witch's thoughts are hard to fathom.

“Ah, Mr. Utsunomiya.” The owl raised one leg. “To say whether there is a connection or not, there is definitely a connection, but just consider it satisfying the curiosity of a cute owl. After all, it seems that you were just ‘friends’ on Monday.”

After a brief preparation, it flapped its wings and flew off the guard, then landed on Utsunomiya Hoshino's head.

"Personally, well, I'm still very curious about what exactly caused the change in your relationship."

They say they want to conduct a proper trial, but it's clear that the owl won't follow the rules completely.

Just like a witch who never followed the rules she set for herself.

So, should we satisfy its 'curiosity'?

“A confined space, the threat of a witch, and an already close relationship…” Hoshino Utsunomiya spread his hands: “It’s only natural that we would get to know each other.”

"Very pure."

He said.

"Hmm..." The owl pondered for a moment, seemingly wanting to bend down and look up at Hoshino Utsunomiya, but after bending down a little, it seemed to realize that it was too small to do such a thing.

It's clearly a bit of a disappointment, but not so much, it says:

"Then, Mr. Utsunomiya, please answer me about your 'impure heterosexual relationship' with Ms. Nikaido Hiro."

Quite casually, the owl seemed to have changed from the initial process of announcing the crimes, accepting rebuttals, responding to rebuttals, and then announcing the results to just chatting casually and asking everyday questions.

“You’ve misunderstood.” Hoshino Utsunomiya’s expression remained unchanged. He merely turned to look at Hiro, and after a brief eye contact, he said quite naturally:

"I wasn't seeing Hiro today."

If he truly believed that sophistry could work, then what he should do was use sophistry to fool the owl, just like he is doing now.

He didn't lie, so how can you call it lying?

To be fair, he wasn't seeing Hiro today; Hiro's date will have to wait until tomorrow.

"..."

Nikaido Hiro held back.

She had resisted Emmanuelle's assertive gestures of sovereignty in the courtroom, and she was naturally able to resist these suggestive, seemingly disassociative but actually sophistical words as well.

After all, it was obvious that Hoshino was protecting her.

While it might feel good for Emma to blatantly provoke the witch, she should realize her mistake once the witch can no longer tolerate it.

The witch will find a way to kill her.

Whether it stemmed from jealousy of Hoshino's affection or from a malicious desire to see him happy, it was all out of a dislike for him.

The evil witch will definitely make her move.

Logically, she should have stopped Emma.

But her intervention won't teach Emma a lesson.

She understood.

So she endured it.

If you can tolerate it, then tolerate it.

“That means it’s infidelity.” However, faced with Hoshino Utsunomiya’s sophistry, the owl shook its head and came to this conclusion.

"Hey, you have a girlfriend, but you're hugging and kissing other women. That's a serious crime."

"Utsunomiya Hoshino, big deduction."

it says.

"It seems that Mr. Utsunomiya has the most serious demerit points so far. Could it be that today's execution is not for the witch, but for Mr. Utsunomiya?" it said quietly.

The words were subtly suggestive.

What is it trying to convey?

Hoshino Utsunomiya didn't recognize it.

Emma Sakura realized it.

Hoshino's current words, and the owl's subtle hints.

To be honest, this witch trial was anything but legitimate.

Process, rules, regulations.

She couldn't see any of them.

But there was one thing she seemed to understand.

What the witch wanted, the warden wanted.

It is not the crime itself that has been declared.

Instead, it's about 'defending'.

What the witch wanted to hear was their denial of these crimes.

But......

If we are to deny it, what we must deny is not the purity of the relationship.

It's not about 'relationships' themselves, but about the act of 'relationship' itself.

Emma Sakura didn't want to deny that.

So she simply gripped Hoshino Utsunomiya's hand a little tighter.

She seemed to have managed to hold back, but Nikaido Hiro couldn't.

You can kill me, so why has the topic come full circle back to killing Hoshino?

And what about cheating and having affairs? I was married through proper channels!

I was the first person Hoshino extended his hand to invite!

Emma is not a legal wife!

Nikaido Hiro hadn't forgotten that her primary goal this time was to protect Utsunomiya Hoshino from dying before her eyes.

If someone is to be executed for this reason, then it's a really long and complicated process.

He argued with Emma, ​​and then Hoshino ended up being hanged.

That's so ugly and unsightly.

"First of all, I want to clarify something." With a cold expression, Nikaido Hiro said, "It wasn't cheating, there was no affair."

"Secondly, what I want to say is..."

"I am Hoshino's lover."

He already confessed to me. If you hadn't held this witch trial at this time, he would have announced the result to Emma today and told her that he ultimately chose me.

The girl raised her hand and brushed the strands of hair from her forehead behind her back, her long, jet-black hair swaying in the air.

"Don't get it wrong."

she says.

Emma Sakura: "...Huh?"

Hiro's words sounded as if she, Sakura Emma, ​​was not her lover.

She really didn't like hearing it.

The owl blinked:

"So, who is the lover between you two?"

""--I am!""

At the same time, the words spoken by the girls, each pressing their hands to their chests, rang out.

"Then you'll all lose points."

"That's what the owl said."

"Let's die together."

The owl cleverly devised a series of schemes...

Oh, it's not linked yet.

It was just a casual question, a casual remark.

The three of them seemed to be sentenced to death.

Emma Sakura's thoughts were interrupted, and her mind couldn't process it.

Nikaido Hiro's thoughts were a little slow; she hadn't reacted yet.

Hoshino Utsunomiya understood.

He knew what he had to do.

My old profession.
