The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

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 physical characteristics of the deceased.

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 level of understanding of the word 'opposite sex'.

Knowing what the opposite sex is, knowing what the general physiological structure is like, understanding the existence of menstruation, and knowing what the opposite sex will do when they want to satisfy them.

There's no mistake.

However, knowing is one thing, but to make him truly proficient, to make him able to effortlessly accelerate and move forward...

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 play a game with Meruru on the spot.

"......call."

You often hear that prolonged congestion and swelling 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 must be correct, as prolonged tension would damage any part of the body.

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 endured it.

If you don't overthink it and shift your focus, the cooling-off period is actually faster than you might imagine.

There is no overload state that must be released.

What's wrong with not releasing it? Please, big sister, help me...

It's all for the sake of the plot.

It won't kill you to put up with it a few times.

Of course, normally, when physiological signals are constantly being sent to the brain urging you to take action, you need to resist the urge and choose to cool down, keeping your rationality from being overwhelmed by impulse.

For the vast majority of people, this would certainly be a very difficult thing.

too difficult.

Especially when it seems that the girl could be asked to lend a hand at any time.

It's hard not to bring it up.

Fortunately, Hoshino Utsunomiya knew that she wasn't quite normal.

In the past, he might have tried to go back to his room, lock the door, and cover himself with a sheet, attempting to become a pilot.

But now, he can suppress it, he can hold back it, he can cool down that thought.

As for why we need to cool down? Why not just go with the flow and do everything we can?

...It will go back in time.

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 erasure—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.

First experiences are things that don't last.

Unless you play against the witch or Heero.

If it were to be her first experience, Hoshino Utsunomiya hoped that, at least, her first time with the girl would be the first time she could truly feel it.

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

However, he still didn't want to appear in the situation where, even though she was also inexperienced, he seemed to act as if he was extremely familiar with her body.

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.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh..."

Melulu on Ice is a girl who cries a lot.

She is naturally prone to crying and likes to blame herself. Even if she doesn't say anything, tears will always well up in her eyes when she takes 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 when poked, she will shed sensitive tears.

Not to mention the tears that flow when being comforted.

There were many tears.

She kept crying.

Even though she hadn't replenished her fluids, she was crying at a frequency that seemed to be causing her to dehydrate.

Tears soaked the pillow, tears drenched the sheets, tears spilled across the bed.

The dark marks gradually faded as they spread outwards.

Even so, if it's wet, it's wet.

It needs to be washed and dried.

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

The door lock is still closed.

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

He wanted to calm down and shift his focus.

But now, in the same room, that warm body was breathing and making sounds, 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 cold water over his head to force-cool him down?

"—Hoshino."

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

Her rosy cheeks pressed against his back from behind, pressing against his body, her cheeks close together.

Breathing lightly like a mermaid on ice, she said, "It seems like Hoshino is also about to... lose control."

It's not like she can't see it.

Even the faint scent drifting in the air can be vaguely sensed.

I don't know the relevant knowledge, but I am clearly aware of it.

Why endure it?

"Even though I stopped holding back because I realized I liked Hoshino, if you like someone, you'll want to get close to them, right? If you like someone, you'll want to feel comfortable, right?"

The soft, gentle breeze blowing against my ear, and the seemingly weak yet enchanting sound flowing into my ear.
