The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

So Hoshino Utsunomiya thought that he might have overslept.

"Hmm? No, it's noon now." Tono Hannah turned her head and said breathlessly.

She glanced at Hoshino Utsunomiya and suddenly smiled slightly: "Oh, I understand."

"So Hoshino was really looking forward to my visit?"

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

She seemed a little happy.

"Whether I'm hoping for it or not... let's put that aside for now." Hoshino Utsunomiya took out his phone and glanced at the time.

It was indeed noon.

"Aren't you going to rest at Coco's place? You've already moved the sheets over here. Aren't you afraid of being thrown into the punishment room?" He asked, voicing his confusion.

Don't tell him that Tono Hannah isn't afraid of being locked in the punishment room just to spend time with him.

That's not Hannah Tono, that's Emma Sakuraba.

Hannah isn't that heavy-hearted yet.

"I'm not afraid, desuwa~" Tono Hannah's smile widened even more as she hummed, "I'm not afraid of anything as long as I'm with you."

"Is he really that affectionate?"

“No desuwa.” Tono Hannah finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She raised her hand to cover her lips and said with a smile, “You think you can make a beautiful girl fall head over heels for you in just one night?”

That's very attractive.

“But I’m really not afraid.” With a smile, Tono Hannah lay down.

After catching her breath, she turned to look at Hoshino Utsunomiya and said:

"Because from now on, I'm Hoshino's good roommate."

Utsunomiya Hoshino: "...?"

What does it mean.

Seeing that Hoshino Utsunomiya seemed quite puzzled, Hannah Tono softly explained the reason.

......

Although last night I took advantage of the atmosphere and asked for Hoshino Utsunomiya's upper bunk, and said those slightly affectionate words.

However, it only took her half a morning to calm down completely.

Worried, anxious, fearful.

If you get caught, if you get locked up in the punishment room.

so what should I do now?

Last night was just an accident; she hadn't actually planned to spend the night there.

But now that things have come to this, Hannah Tono is a little reluctant to not let her stay overnight.

It felt really good, chatting with someone late at night, casually and jokingly.

really good.

So she still has to come.

They came with trepidation, with caution, and with fear.

If you don't come...

She had no choice but to come.

If she doesn't come, it means she's decided to be alone.

One person can't do anything.

I don't want to be left behind, I can't be left behind.

Therefore, she wanted to hold onto his outstretched hand tightly.

But I don't want to be thrown into the punishment room.

Therefore, Tohno Hannah couldn't help but open the Witch's Compendium and take a closer look at the rules of the prison.

[Numbered tags indicating the prisoner's number are hung in front of the cells; prisoners must stay in the cell corresponding to their number.]

Hannah Tono read it several times, her gaze finally settling on three words.

'Number plate'

Shift your gaze forward.

'suspension'

Move it again.

'The cell corresponding to its own number'

"..."

...Could it be that...?

Perhaps it was because he had taken a nap, a good and peaceful sleep in a prison, a place that is inherently frightening.

Hannah Tono felt that her mind was exceptionally clear at that moment.

She seemed to understand the meaning of that sentence.

The cell number determines the cell affiliation, the number is determined by the number plate, and the number plate is determined by the sign hanging on the cell.

It's hanging there.

Hanging, hanging, hanging—

Does this mean that as long as you take the number tag down and hang it in another cell, you can "change dormitories"?

Go wherever you want.

This is just speculation.

It's a very bold conjecture, but one that makes perfect logical sense.

Hannah Tono couldn't help but walk into the underground passage and look up at the location where the number plate was hanging.

It's quite high, probably only a guard could reach it.

She definitely couldn't reach it if she stood below and reached out, and even if she jumped, she would be a little short.

but......

She floats.

She could try to float up and then reach out to touch the number plate.

She can be replaced at any time.

If she wants to.

Verifying whether this conjecture is correct is simple: just be prepared to be thrown into the punishment room, replace your number tag, and spend your confinement time in the new cell in front of the guards. That will confirm whether the conjecture is correct.

If it's wrong, you'll be locked in the punishment room.

But if it's the right thing to do, everyone can switch cells at will.

Does she dare?

Would Hannah Tono dare to do that?

—She dares.

Hannah Tono is actually surprisingly bold.

Do it when you think of it.

The door is about two meters high, with a rim of about four or five centimeters along its edge. A few centimeters above that, you can see the number plates hanging down. A little higher, you'll find the area where the number plates are hung.

Near the ceiling.

Hannah Tono's normal levitation ability only allows her to float about ten centimeters.

Although it can move laterally within a range of about ten centimeters, it can only do so for a very short time before it becomes exhausted.

Hannah Tono is 148cm tall. I haven't measured her arm length, but it's probably about half her height. If she stretches her arm upwards, she can touch a point more than half her height.

They can leap 20 to 30 centimeters.

If you suddenly use a levitation spell when you jump to the highest point and float up several centimeters in one breath, you can touch it!

Taking a deep breath, Tono Hannah looked up at her number plate.

Then, in that instant of leaping up, he desperately cast a spell, doing everything in his power to levitate.

All the past practice and hard work are poured into this moment!

Float up!

Her long dress fluttered, and Tono Hannah blushed.

—We caught them!

Grabbing the number plate and pulling it outwards quickly, the joy of success caused her to lose her levitation magic and fall heavily to the ground.

My foot hurts a little.

But she couldn't care less about the pain; Tono Hannah quickly flipped over the number plate on the ground to confirm the number on it.

'668'

That's her prisoner number.

Next, all you need to do is hang this number plate above Hoshino's cell.

But my foot hurts a little.

Just as Tono Hannah was thinking of taking a break before trying again, Ice Meluru, whose pretty face was still flushed, came down the stairs.

"Are you alright? No, no, no—"

Seeing her fall to the ground, Meru approached her in a panic and asked with great concern.
