The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

You can get energy by sticking it on for a while.

But let's leave the specifics to Hoshino.

She would be happy no matter what he did.

What should Hoshino Utsunomiya do?

This is a very serious issue.

As for whether he's seen it or not, he probably has.

Although the room was shrouded in mist, and although both the bathroom and the shower room had their own blind spots.

But if I can't resist, I'll still notice and take a peek, keeping the image in my mind out of the corner of my eye.

Extremely profound.

Well...

It is actually very bad and disrespectful to commemorate the dead.

But unfortunately, that was indeed the first time he had actually seen it with those eyes.

Therefore, it leaves a deep impression and is hard to forget.

You should be able to see the shower room too.

I didn't pay special attention, but I might have caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye.

What do you mean?

In other words, Hoshino Utsunomiya felt that he should have a certain understanding of the word 'common sense'.

Knowing the general structure and understanding the existence of special periods, one would likely not only be able to offer simple, dry advice like "drink more hot water" when being cared for.

There's no mistake.

However, while he knew this, he hadn't actually taken care of many girls. For him to be expected to skillfully care for Meruru...

That would indeed be putting him in a lot of trouble.

This was the first time Utsunomiya Hoshino had done something like this.

A thirst for knowledge, a desire to explore, curiosity, and of course, a sense of shame.

Can I become proficient at it?

Will there be any improvement?

Continuously try to correct based on the feedback received, and repeat the proven successful practices based on the confirmed correct methods.

In the end, Hoshino Utsunomiya did not do anything unnecessary.

"........call."

You often hear that excessive mental stress is bad for your health.

Hoshino Utsunomiya had little opportunity to verify whether this statement was true or not, nor could he find any more information to check whether it was indeed true.

He felt that the statement itself was definitely correct; prolonged tension would cause some degree of harm to the body, no matter what.

That's fine.

But how long is this "long period of time"? And how bad is it for your health?

These broad function words are uncountable.

So he focused.

As long as you don't overthink it.

Just put in a little more effort.

When taking care of a girl, pay close attention to her facial expressions. For example, whether she needs water, whether she needs a towel to wipe her sweat, and if she has a cold or fever, you can hold her hand to show that you are really there for her...

That shows great care.

As for any other thoughts, well...

I don't have any particular thoughts.

It's not a difficult thing.

Just lend a hand.

In a situation where it seems possible to ask the girl to turn around and lend a hand at any time, it's as if she could be asked to do the same.

She would definitely feel much more at ease if she held his hand.

Hoshino Utsunomiya knew that she wasn't quite normal.

But it's actually quite normal.

right.

As for whether we can take advantage of the atmosphere and do whatever we want?

...It will backtrack.

The rewinding of time is what Hoshino Utsunomiya is most troubled about right now. Compared to the rewinding, things like the witch are probably not that important.

The key lies in retrospection.

Retrospection represents erasing memories, emotions, relationships, experiences...

Erase it all.

The process of falling in love with Meruru was treated as if it never happened, and the efforts to make Meruru fall in love with him were also nullified.

What will remain?

The memories the witch saw, and the other decisions the witch made based on those memories.

For example, kicking the girls out of this farce is something that will keep them.

The act of taking Hero and Emma away was a remnant of the previous regression.

Experiencing these things won't leave a lasting impression.

Unless you play against the witch or Heero.

If it were to be an experience, Hoshino Utsunomiya hoped that at least the memories with the girl would be memories that she could truly feel and remember.

Yes, it's impossible for him to create memories with every person he likes in a completely new way.

But he still didn't want to show up, even though she knew nothing about it, yet he seemed to act as if he knew her very well.

If we want to do something, we need to be able to leave a trace after the endless backtracking has ended.

Do it again.

So he held back.

Because he likes it.

I really like it.

"Waaaaah........"

Melulu on Ice is a girl who cries a lot.

She was born to cry and liked to blame herself. Even if she didn't say anything, tears would always well up in her eyes when she took all the blame upon herself.

Seeing someone get hurt will bring tears of worry to my eyes.

When they feel they've done something wrong, they shed tears of self-reproach.

Even without doing anything, I would burst into tears.

There were many tears.

She kept crying.

Cry and cry, cry and cry.

Tears soaked the pillow and the sheets.

The dark marks gradually fade as they spread outwards, but eventually, due to the salt in the tears, they spread to the outer ring, forming what is known as a 'coffee ring,' where the outer ring is darker than the inner ring.

When water drops fall on a table, they form droplets, and the edges of these droplets are thinner, so they evaporate faster.

To replenish the moisture at the edges, capillary action is generated in the center of the water droplet, pushing other substances in the water to the edges and creating distinct color gradations.

Perhaps she had been crying for too long, because Meruru on the ice didn't have the strength to say anything more, and just lay there.

The door lock is still closed.

Hoshino Utsunomiya never imagined that these two hours would be so long.

He wanted to distract himself.

But now, in the same room, that warm body was breathing, lying beside me.

I can't shift my attention.

He stretched out his hand, and the iron bucket reappeared in his hand.

There was cold water inside.

Hoshino Utsunomiya was pondering a question.

Should he wash his hands, or pour the cold water over his head?

"—Hoshino."

Before he could figure out the answer, Meruru on the ice, who had recovered slightly, got up.
