The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

The point of contention has been revealed.

Hoshino Utsunomiya suspects that the witch lied about this.

Putting aside the twisted protective instincts for now, has the feeling of guilt and atonement been linked to Hero again?

I might feel guilty, but didn't I say it's okay?

Yes, that's right, Nikaido Hiro could not possibly accept it with a clear conscience.

But to expect her to force herself to like him out of a desire for atonement or something like that is just a joke.

Like is like.

Hoshino Utsunomiya and Emma have both said that he never cares about the circumstances that led to the start of a relationship, nor does he care about the reasons for developing romantic feelings.

Whether it's love at first sight or feelings that grow over time, whether it's choosing to become friends because you can't stand seeing someone else's flaws, or the distance that closes due to a sense of atonement and compensation, relationships that start for different reasons eventually develop into feelings.

He said it a long time ago.

Impure thoughts are the starting point.

In today's social environment, without some ulterior motive, it's impossible to even begin a relationship.

However, at this point, there is no need to deny the existence of witches.

"I see." With that, Hoshino Utsunomiya grabbed the witch's hands. "Thank you so much, otherwise I would still be in the dark."

There was no intention to fool the witch.

"So neither Hiro nor Emma like me. If Hiro hadn't said that, I really wouldn't have known."

The witch isn't stupid.

"Even if they don't like me, I feel like I still like them. What should I do?"

Wouldn't that mean I'm in a one-sided love affair?

After expressing his gratitude, Hoshino Utsunomiya released the witch's hand.

The witch's eyes widened again.

"Now, immediately, right now!" the witch commanded, pointing a finger.

I hate those two!

They're actually quite cute.

“I can’t bring myself to hate her.” Hoshino Utsunomiya shook his head. “If this is a witch’s request, then I really can’t agree to it.”

"I originally wanted to grant the witch's wish."

After all, this was the topic from the very beginning.

He was asking what the witch really wanted.

"...Huh?"

Her little mouth gradually opened wider as she suddenly realized the problem.

"No, no, no, no—" the witch waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't hate it, I don't hate it, I don't hate it."

"No need to hate me, no need to hate me, I have a request, a request, um, a request!"

She seemed to only belatedly realize that Utsunomiya Hoshino had just said he wanted to fulfill the witch's wish.

Whether you like it or not, or whether you hate it or not, doesn't matter!

"The requirement is, the requirement is..."

However, the words, spoken hastily, caught in her throat just as they were about to be uttered.

The witch seemed unable to articulate what she wanted.

It made incoherent, babbling sounds, its mouth open, uttering broken, fragmented notes.

If what she said and did throughout the day was not just a role she was playing.

It's not hard to guess what the witch wants to say.

'love me'

The two simplest words.

But ironically, these are the two words that are hardest to say at this moment.

Hoshino Utsunomiya wasn't in a hurry either.

He's no longer in a hurry.

He could wait here, unhurriedly, for the witch to give him a reply.

Then, at the moment the reply came out.

"Love, love me..."

"I'm sorry, I can't."

I refused decisively.

"—Why?!" The witch suddenly raised her head, her expression instantly turning serious. "Why should I?!"

You like both of them, you've fallen in love with both of them, and they're both the same two people, so why can't you try to love me too!

You love me, right?

Hoshino Utsunomiya shrugged: "Once you choose the kiss, you can't choose the question anymore. That's what we agreed on."

a bolt from the blue.

The witch is unhappy. The witch is displeased.

"Then you will die!"

In her anger, she shouted out words that she did not mean.

then.

"Okay, but before I die, please give me back my Emma and Hero, thank you."

She heard something that made her even more upset.

"After all, these are the only two people I like," he said.

Just these two.

That's all.

Those who are dead definitely cannot be included.

"—I won't pay it back!" With red-rimmed eyes and panting, the witch said angrily, "I won't pay it back, I just won't pay it back!"

This time, she stopped pretending to be Hero and started answering from the perspective of being the witch herself.

"I won't let you find any of them, I won't let you see any of them. If you like one, I'll hide one away. If you fall in love with one, I'll kick one out."

Furious and exasperated, he gave up on himself.

Taking a deep breath, the witch shouted at the top of her lungs:

"—If you're so capable, then fall in love with all of them!"

Before Utsunomiya Hoshino could respond, the witch clenched her hands silently.

Hoshino Utsunomiya's consciousness began to black out.

......

Press the button.

Time rewinds.

Another day has passed.

Once again.

Yuki Tsukishiro said these words out of anger.

It wasn't sincere, it wasn't intentional, I didn't think that way, and I wouldn't do that.

So, it was just something said in anger.

They cried, they made a scene, but they didn't get a satisfactory result or hear the response they wanted.

So what came out of my mouth was just angry talk.

...Love is so tiring.

I couldn't help but have this thought.

"..."

Today passed very quickly.

In fact, Yuki Tsukishiro felt there was no need to try to review or recall anything.

but......

Since we've gone back in time, let's sort it out a bit.

Starting from the end of the last one.

She didn't like the process last time.

She still hasn't gotten over the fact that Hoshino had two girlfriends.

But the result, or rather, the final scene before the rewind.

She wasn't particularly disliked.

She proved that Hoshino was the kind of person who, even knowing she was a wicked witch, would still be unable to stand by and watch.

So, he didn't actually like Emma and Heero; he just couldn't leave them alone.

...Then it seems she has a solution.

Yuki Tsukishiro finally knew what she had to do.

Random killing is just too stupid.
