The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Are you feeling unwell?

It's really uncomfortable.

While it was uncomfortable, the contact was also exceptionally close.

“Then I’ll have to retract my apology.” Hoshino Utsunomiya said, grabbing Coco Sawatari’s leg.

A gentle approach doesn't seem to be working.

At least for Zedu Coco, gentle words would only be lightly ignored.

"Did Coco say I'm rotten to the core?" One hand restrained her struggles, while the other began to stroke Coco's calves.

When the power gap becomes large enough, even in such a situation, the opponent will have no means of resistance.

"You're right, I really am terrible."

"But Coco got some things wrong."

"I will come to like Coco."

Hoshino Utsunomiya will fall in love with Coco Sawatari.

Her petite, frail body, her weak and powerless resistance, and her sickly, deathly pale skin, as if she had never seen the light of day.

I don't actually have much sexual desire.

This is especially true after Meruru had just helped them.

But no matter what, Zetsu Coco is still a young girl.

If you pull the girl's body into your arms.

You can still sense it to some extent.

"—" So, Zedu Coco sensed it, and then her eyes widened.

They wanted to struggle and resist, to curse and swear, to pour out their most vicious words to express their emotions.

But for some reason, what ended up being said was just a very cold sentence.

"Then you are truly rotten to the core."

Even a woman like her could get a reaction.

"Mmm." Hoshino Utsunomiya nodded casually: "Originally, I really wanted to have a good talk with Coco."

"But unfortunately, Coco doesn't seem to have any desire to communicate."

"This is indeed a distressing thing."

He sighed.

"Without communication, I can only talk to myself."

Hoshino Utsunomiya paused for a moment, waiting for Coco Sawatari's reaction.

"..."

Ze Du Ke Ke remained silent.

Expected.

"Where to begin... Oh, let's start with Cocoa."

“I actually think that Coco might be sick, and quite seriously so.”

The defamatory words were uttered from the very beginning.

You're the one who's really sick!

“I thought Coco developed hysteria because she was locked up in a jail and became a prisoner, and being confined for so long.”

Huh? Who? Me? Hysteria?

"Because of mental problems such as hysteria, she started to fantasize about imaginary friends. Unfortunately, Coco probably doesn't have many friends and doesn't know what kind of friends are suitable, so she chose to fantasize about a more familiar relative, her grandfather."

Hahaha?

I originally intended to ignore it and let him say whatever he wanted.

But after hearing this, Ze Du Ke Ke finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Grandpa isn't just a figment of my imagination!" Zedu Coco exclaimed. "Grandpa really exists!"

She pointed out the errors in Hoshino Utsunomiya's words, and faced with such a level of fallacy, Coco Sawatari chose to respond.

In other words, this is the method.

It's very effective.

At least for her, it was probably very effective.

“Yes, yes, Grandpa is real. He exists outside this prison, looking at his granddaughter’s photo while sighing and wondering why his granddaughter is missing.” Utsunomiya Hoshino planned to give chase.

But what he didn't expect was...

He said it so casually...

...You guessed right.

Zetsu Coco: "Gurgle..."

The magic of Zetsu Coco.

It is 'eagle eye'.

The magic's effect is simple: as long as someone is watching her, even if it's a photograph, video, or portrait, the trigger condition can be met.

Once triggered, she can view the other party's situation from a bird's-eye view, like a surveillance camera.

So, she was indeed talking to her grandfather just now, a one-sided conversation with him who was holding her photo and talking to himself.

Yes, the effect of clairvoyance is only to see; words cannot convey it.

In essence, she was simply talking to her grandfather, who was far away, in a way that could not be conveyed to him.

This is a fact.

But, but...

Doesn't this sound like one's own clairvoyance and magic are just part of a delusion?!

Zedu Coco wanted to refute.

But she couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.

Can you argue that Grandpa didn't actually exist? But Grandpa did exist.

To argue that Grandpa wasn't looking at the photos? But...

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--

I really hate this guy.

You could tell it was just something said casually, but it hit the nail on the head!

"Let's put aside the matter of Grandpa's fantasy. After all, whether it's a fantasy or not, what you say can't be conveyed."

Whether it is true or not, whether it is possible or not, Hoshino Utsunomiya did not know.

But he knew that if she could, Zedu Coco would object.

Her lack of objection means it's not allowed.

"Coco's words sound like she really dislikes that kind of voice. Why is that?"

Is there even a question? Because it's disgusting!

"There are several possible reasons for a strong aversion to that kind of voice or that kind of thing."

"One reason is that there is a corresponding psychological shadow in the past. Only those who have been traumatized by something will feel aversion to it."

ha?

“But I don’t think so.” Hoshino Utsunomiya shook his head, reached down, and ran his index finger along the ground.

Zedu Coco felt a shiver run through her body.

"Alas?!"

Slightly damp fingers were picked up and placed in front of her eyes.

Whether it was because of the stress just now that Hoshino Utsunomiya wet her pants or not, let's leave that aside.

But the facts speak for themselves.

"Could you ask me what it smells like?" He brought his finger close to Ze Du Ke Ke's nose and asked softly.

"Eeeeeeeee—" But Sawatari Coco kicked her feet and leaned back frantically, even trying to burrow into Utsunomiya Hoshino's arms to avoid the hand: "Take it away, take it away, aren't you disgusting!"

"Are you a pervert?! How come I never noticed you were such a pervert before?!"

She was somewhat desperate.

I regret it, I deeply regret it.

I regret not being able to see his true colors.

He regretted his repeated provocations.

Those who couldn't control their physiological reactions and were caught red-handed also regretted it.

remorse.

"Take your hand away! I'll tell you why I'm provoking you! Take your hand away! I don't want to smell it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hoshino Utsunomiya stopped.

He stopped reaching towards Zedu Koko's nose and stopped muttering his speculations to himself. Instead, he continued to grab Zedu Koko's calf.

Actually, he thought he needed to say something more.

At least finish explaining the speculations about why Sawatari Coco dislikes this kind of thing.

But, with just a touch of her hand, it seemed she couldn't quite handle it.

...It does seem a little bit perverted.
