The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

She was either lying in her cell or walking slowly with her sketchbook in her arms, neither talking to anyone nor keeping company with anyone.

What else can she do?

My confusion deepened.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Natsume Anan.

She lowered her head.

Long hair covering her eyes.

Long sleeves cover the hands.

Her long hair and white stockings were obscured by the witness stand, and apart from identifying Noah Kinosaki, she didn't write a single word.

"An'an?"

Someone called her name.

It's Hoshino Utsunomiya.

"..."

She remained silent for a moment before finally raising her head.

Swish swish...

The pen tip falls on the sketchbook, and brief words are transformed into sentences.

Yes, it is us.

"What do you mean, 'is it or isn't'? What are you talking about?"

The mysterious smell grew stronger.

[Turn on the machine]

She wrote again, turning it over to show the warden.

Then, after only a moment, a rumbling sound reverberated through the center of the courtroom.

It seems that something is gradually rising from underground.

Click-clack, click-clack.

As the gears turned, a familiar notch appeared in the floor, and the central base began to be replaced.

A magnificent, puppet-style stage setup.

Appeared.

A bright red curtain hangs above the exquisitely decorated and lavish set.

The drooping threads seemed to be connecting to a puppet that appeared out of nowhere.

"Actually, the execution should only begin after everyone presses the execution button together; that's a bit against the rules," the owl said wistfully, glancing at the stage setup in the center.

"but......"

Too much nonsense.

The sketchbook, turned over again, blocked its words.

"So what exactly is this related to An'an? Why is An'an the one being executed?"

It's not that this is a question posed out of some friendly relationship, a reluctance to see a friend die.

Nikaido Hiro simply wanted to know the answer.

Would you be willing to be executed instead?

This is how Natsume Anan wrote it.

“…” Nikaido Hiro’s words were cut off.

“While no one is necessarily to be executed, in fact, there should have been no need to execute anyone in the first place,” Hoshino Utsunomiya said calmly, gripping the edge of the witness stand. “However…”

"I am willing."

Natsume Anan's expression underwent a subtle change.

She lowered her head again.

You can't.

"why?"

No means no.

"【Hoshino is not allowed to speak】"

As if that wasn't enough, she put away her sketchbook and spoke for the first time.

With a slight vibrato and a slightly delicate tone, Natsume Anan's voice is surprisingly distinctive.

she says.

She ordered.

Then, the words that were almost on the tip of Utsunomiya Hoshino's tongue, the question that was about to be uttered, were: 'Why? Didn't you already kill me once?'

It was being choked.

I can't say it.

He was forbidden, he was ordered, the power of words took effect at this moment, and Hoshino Utsunomiya was speechless.

Although I don't know Natsume Anan's personality, and I don't know Natsume Anan at all.

But from the moment he started, Hoshino Utsunomiya already understood.

The witch is Natsume Anan.

It's not Hannah Tono.

Her words made this judgment even more convincing.

However, he still didn't understand the witch's thoughts.

why?

I imagine that this is the only question that would come to everyone's mind.

However, no matter how confused he was, he couldn't say anything when he was told to shut his mouth.

"An'an-chan?"

"you......"

"You all need to be quiet too."

His words, spoken again, silenced everyone.

The courtroom fell into a deathly silence.

She took the initiative, step by step, to walk down from the witness stand and onto the stage setup.

The hooked thread, the dangling body.

The hanging silk threads quickly wrapped around Natsume An'an's body, slightly lifting her up.

The girl's body was suspended in mid-air, and her cotton slippers slipped slightly, revealing the shape of her feet.

She remained silent.

Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the warden.

So the owl, who had been ordered not to talk nonsense, spoke up again.

"Okay, now let's read out Natsume An'an's crimes, and then it'll be time for her execution." As it spoke, it flapped its wings and flew over to Utsunomiya Hoshino's head.

It seems that it felt this position was just right, suitable for it to speak properly.

"Stealing someone else's identity, impersonating someone else's personality, and disguising someone else's existence."

First charge: She is a witch.

By the way, if we're talking about the worst, most wicked, and most wrong evil witch, who can compare to the great witch who plays the role of other people?

"The evil great witch has imprisoned the aspiring witches who should have been thrown into jail, and plans to play a game with them. The evil witches will lose points, and the evil witches will be executed."

He has done all sorts of bad things.

"Hasty preparations, rushed games, a declaration of murder."

Arbitrary rules, ever-changing rules, and chaotic judgments.

"Oh, so the most despicable evil witch is myself."

The owl shook its head, suddenly realizing something.

"It seemed like no one noticed her existence, no one approached her, and no one intended to love her."

Although it was Natsume Anan who refused to get along with others from the very beginning.

Everyone has their own life.

"Those who committed unforgivable sins were forgiven, those who were so addicted to their addictions that they had to be rejected were satisfied, monsters who didn't understand human nature made friends, fake rich girls got by, and mediocre painters painted all day long."

Muttering to himself, hinting, or saying it offhand.

The owl suddenly came to that conclusion.

"It seems there's no need for witches to exist."

"He will forgive her, he will accept her, he will hold her and speak gently in her ear."

"The witch is the one in the way."

"Yes, witches are too much of a nuisance, annoying witches, an eyesore witches, witches that shouldn't exist."

“The sins are grave.”

"He deserves to be executed."

Everyone is absolutely right, witches really are a nuisance.

Since the witch is such a nuisance, let's execute her.
