The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Protect everyone, lead everyone well, and let everyone see your shining self.

There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

But why?

Hosho Mag turned and went into the library, while Kurobe Nanoha Kaori, carrying a gun, kept following and watching Utsunomiya Hoshino.

Sawatari Coco was live streaming just to get Utsunomiya Hoshino to see her, and Kinosaki Noa and Utsunomiya Hoshino were also very close.

Needless to say, Hannah Tono and Meruru Hikami are also included.

Everyone was watching him.

Even if...

She herself.

Hasumi Ryoya was also staring at him.

He really, really...

special.

All I can say is that it's special.

Ryota Hasumi didn't know how to describe it well, but it was that kind of atmosphere that wasn't annoying.

Especially when he misunderstood the other party and then went to the warehouse and came out, he really didn't do anything.

That's even more true.

After that, he did not use the opportunity of improving the food to win everyone's favor.

She didn't have any either.

Although everyone does believe that this was her achievement.

It's really agonizing to have achievements that don't belong to you mistakenly attributed to you.

Hasumi Ryoya liked the feeling of receiving grateful glances whenever she sat in the cafeteria during mealtimes and prepared meals for everyone.

But they can't accept the mistake of having credit attributed to them for things they didn't actually do.

The contradiction is something I can't bring myself to say.

So I kept acquiescing.

But this has its limits.

The goodwill that arises from the improved food will gradually subside once everyone gets used to the new meals and begins to tire of the monotonous seasoning of canned food.

The feeling of being watched is gradually decreasing.

Instead, it seems that more and more people are surrounding Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Hasumi Ryoga would look at him with envy, Hasumi Ryoga would develop feelings for him, Hasumi Ryoga would be unable to stop herself from doing so.

He developed murderous intent.

She had long harbored murderous intent.

The reason it's dragged on until now is purely because she's constantly draining herself internally.

She wants to constantly improve herself.

Her consistent philosophy is to gain attention through her own efforts and to shine through her own achievements.

Yes, that's it.

I won't cheat.

No, no, no...

But if no matter how much you improve or how hard you try, you still can't get people to notice you.

All we can do is clear away the obstacles.

"Because he's the mastermind." Kurobe Nanoha's words filled the last gap in Hasumi Ryoa's heart, leaving her with a missing reason.

Hasumi Ryoya suddenly realized: "Oh right, because Hoshino-kun is the mastermind, he's a big bad guy, he deceived everyone's feelings."

"I have to protect everyone, I must stop him."

The murmured words gradually filled Ryota Hasumi's eyes with a determined look.

"But how do I do it?" she muttered to herself.

Nanoka Kurobe said softly, "Tie him up."

“He must know a lot, after all, he seemed so familiar with this prison.”

This is an opportunity.

If one cannot do it easily, try to find a partner, an accomplice.

Hasumi Ryouya would be a good fit.

Given the current situation, even Hasumi Ryoya should be able to see that Utsunomiya Hoshino is the mastermind behind everything.

"Did I tell Rhea?" Kurobe Nanoha leaned against the doorway, observing the location of the stairwell, and said softly, "The door to the art studio on the second floor didn't originally exist."

"It was him who, on the first day, took Noah to draw a door, and through the interaction of the drawing and magic, created a door."

"It was him who openly violated the rules, freely entering and leaving prisons and changing cells at will, living with young girls and partying every night."

"Oh right, and the warehouse, he led you there to find the supplies, right?"

One piece of evidence after another came from Kurobe Nanoka's mouth.

"Do I need to say more? Utsunomiya Hoshino is the mastermind behind it all."

Then she asserted.

then.

To protect innocent and pitiful girls.

Hasumi Ryoya sent a message to Utsunomiya Hoshino.

We're running out of canned food. Would you like to come with me to the warehouse to get some?

Invitation.

【it is good】

He agreed.

......

Hasumi Ryoya never intended to kill anyone.

Although the urge to kill was rising in my heart, and the feeling of wanting to kill him was very strong.

But she never really intended to kill Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Can......

Why is this happening?

What is the plan?

Find an excuse to lure him to the warehouse; replenishing the canned goods is the most suitable excuse.

The warehouse environment was just right, with only one entrance and exit, making it ideal for murder and cover-up.

All you have to do is let Nanoha Kaori hide in the shadows, point a gun at him and threaten him, then gag him and tie his hands.

The kidnapping was complete.

It can be hidden anywhere.

Torture and interrogate him until he, the mastermind, confesses his crimes and repents for deceiving the girls.

The plan is that simple.

As for how to deal with Hoshino Utsunomiya, Nanoha Kurobe didn't care and left it all to Ryoa Hasumi.

She can do whatever she wants to him.

If we were to rank the three in terms of threat level, then without a doubt, Kurobe Nanoha, with her gun, has an overwhelming advantage.

She might be able to threaten two people all by herself.

Next is Hoshino Utsunomiya, whose male strength is unmatched by Ryota Hasumi.

The weakest of them all is Hasumi Ryoua.

Weak, helpless, and unable to feel at ease.

They wanted to protect themselves, they wanted to hold onto something.

Therefore, Hasumi Ryoya arrived at the reception room ahead of time and took the crossbow bolt that came with the crossbow.

The sharp arrowheads seemed capable of serving as short daggers.

They couldn't beat the spearman.

If it were longer, it might be better to make it into a spear.

But what should we use as a handle?

broom.

Tear the clothes into pieces and wrap the crossbow bolts around and tie them to the broom.

A simple spear, seemingly capable of providing Hasumi Ryoa with a sense of security simply by being held, was thus created.

Store it in a corner of the warehouse beforehand, just in case.

In other words.

The warehouse was dark and dimly lit, with a faint light shining through the door. A simple spear was hidden in the shadows, and Nanako Kurobe was hiding in the shelves.

Hoshino Utsunomiya walked into the warehouse.

"Let's stick to what we had last time. This time, let's see what else we have."

He spoke casually, his expression relaxed and without the slightest hint of defensiveness.
