The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Especially now, with his fists clenched, his anger rising, his teeth clenched, he turned around and strode back the way he came, carrying a bucket full of water that was constantly spilling out as he walked towards me with that imposing air.

It really is—

"—Splash!"

awesome.

Chapter 24: Do you want me to take another bath?

[I'm sorry, host. I apologize for the slander I made against you in my heart before. I'm truly sorry for not understanding the deeper meaning behind your actions, for not being able to comprehend your strategies, and for not being able to keep up with your thought process!]

[System, I will immediately prostrate myself and apologize to the host!]

That's how it should be! Take away her chair and remove her stool! Force her to borrow your chair and sit with you!

[Awkwardly sitting down, displaying your shyness, host, you sit in a seat so narrow it's barely big enough for two people, shoulder to shoulder, sharing body heat, constantly slipping off the chair due to its crampedness, yet desperately trying to stay close to the other person!]

[Hohohohohohoho, so there's such a strategy? Truly worthy of being the host of this system!]

[Host, you have truly proven yourself right time and time again!]

The system's voice rang in my ears once again.

From the moment Hoshino Utsunomiya decided to take the bullying route and began his first action, the system had been trying to pull him back on track and get him to play the Corner Wood Conquest game normally.

However, Utsunomiya Hoshi's ambition was as firm as iron, and his unwavering will led him to believe in his own choices.

The system spoke earnestly, expressed regret and sorrow, sighed deeply, and was filled with intense emotion.

The system prostrated itself in reverence, and all the monks knelt down.

Kneeling, worshipping, and praising loudly.

They were just doing something that resembled a prank by elementary or middle school boys, but it had the effect of being so amazing.

Take notes, take notes, and you will surely be able to apply what you've learned!

But honestly, the current situation gives people a certain feeling.

Rather than calling it bullying or a prank, it's more accurate to say...

This is flirting.

Hehehe, it seems the host is about to conquer the witch, victory is in sight!

Just as the system was so happy and elated.

Hoshino Utsunomiya clenched her fists, resolutely turned around, and deftly picked up the familiar iron bucket.

then.

[Watering work completed for today, experience +3]

Water it! Water it!

Tender seedlings need consistent irrigation to grow.

【...Huh?】

The system was stunned.

It feels a bit familiar, like something I've seen before, like something I know well, like, like—

The host did the same thing when they first met.

The system was only stunned for a moment.

But this time, the system's daze lasted for a very long time.

No, host, Utsunomiya-sama, Hoshino-sama.

Is this necessary?

Success is within reach, isn't it? You've already successfully piqued her interest in you, even going so far as to invite her to sit in the same chair and squeeze together – a rather ambiguous gesture.

Although there's no way to check the current affection level, it should be quite high by now, right?!

Should we water it now?

No, no, no, my lord, watering the witch's plants isn't a routine daily task!

The system desperately wanted to emit a sharp, popping sound.

But it didn't even dare to make a sound at that moment.

Instead, she watched Tsukishiro Yuki's reaction with extreme tension, almost holding her breath.

"..."

What is Tsukishiro Yuki's reaction?

She closed her eyes for a moment, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering slightly as the water flowed through them. Only after all the water in the bucket had been emptied did she open her eyes.

The icy water soaked her entire body once again, her smooth hair became wet, and water droplets slid down her hair and cheeks, pausing briefly at her collar before quickly sliding down again.

Hoshino Utsunomiya was still holding the empty bucket in his hand.

Tsukishiro Yuki didn't speak, but simply raised her hand and gently, slowly, wiped away the water droplets clinging to her eyelashes. She slightly lifted a few damp strands of hair, better showcasing her pretty, glistening face.

Then, she gently opened her lips.

"It's so cold, oh," she murmured, her expression seemingly devoid of emotion.

It's cold, it's cold, of course it's cold. Anyone would feel cold if they were splashed with cold water.

The evaporation of liquids accelerates the loss of heat, and damp clothes will continuously steal body heat.

A normal person would worry that they would catch a cold soon and need to change into new clothes.

But Yukishiro was worried that she might accidentally reveal an expression she shouldn't have.

Logically speaking, she has maintained this expression for a very long time, and now there should be no need to worry about such issues anymore.

Unfortunately, the emotions I've been experiencing lately have been too sweet, and I can't help but smile when I'm on the rooftop with Emma and Shiro.

The stiff facial muscles began to move more freely, especially in the last few days. The bullying stopped, Hoshino Utsunomiya took over the bullying task, and Hiro went abroad to study. With these things overlapping, it was really hard not to smile.

Hohoho...

Look at his face.

I didn't notice it at first, but the more I look at him, the more captivating he becomes, observing the changes in his facial expressions, the details of his body language, and the fluctuations in his emotions.

As I watched...

I just couldn't help it.

Open your mouth again.

Say.

"You've gotten me wet again. Do you want me to take another bath?"

The evil silver-haired witch sat in Utsunomiya Hoshino's seat, her body bathed in water, looking like a lotus emerging from the water, and tilted her head at him, asking him this question.

Yes.

No or not.

Utsunomiya Hoshino, still clutching the iron bucket suspended in mid-air and with the witch's voice echoing in his ears, was met with Tsukishiro Yuki's question.

I've made my choice.

Clang—

He slammed the metal bucket down, his face grim, and coldly uttered a sentence on the spot.

"I left work early today."

Then, in a very disheveled state, they fled.

Watching Hoshino Utsunomiya's figure disappear behind the door, Yuki Tsukishiro's expression finally broke into a smile.

Ha ha ha.

This guy is so interesting; the closer you get to him, the more he tries to shrink back.

He was the one who initially dragged me to take a shower.

But the closer the distance, the more intimate the contact, the more one tries to get closer.

The more he retreats, the more he will back down.

If you press forward relentlessly, you will retreat relentlessly.

Yukishiro was always curious about what would happen if she cornered him behind a wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

How will he react?

Putting everything else aside, she was at least satisfied with today's reaction.

How about... we increase the intensity next?

With a twirling of her index finger, the witch twirled a few strands of her long, silvery hair, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

Because of the commotion earlier, and the echo of the sound of Utsunomiya Hoshino dropping the iron bucket, the students in the front row and the students in the rows next to him should have turned around.

But at this moment, the witch revealed a thoughtful expression that was completely different from her usual bullied demeanor.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on what was in front of them.

The magic of 'eye guidance' was turned up to its maximum power at this moment.

Chapter 25 had good intentions, but I executed it poorly.

It failed, it failed, it failed, it failed.

The bullying plan has completely failed.

The problem is that the students who bullied the students have already been resolved, and the problem is that the teachers who bullied the students will not be a problem.

Even though Nikaido Hiro went abroad to study, and even though the only person who could stop her was Sakura Emma.

That's clearly how it should be; it should have been able to succeed smoothly.

but.

That is.
