The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

"But speaking of which, it seems like it's been quite a while since I've spoken to Rhea."

"How have you been lately? Have you found a way to escape? If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."

Although Utsunomiya Hoshino's expression cannot be seen, it seems that he was speaking with a gentle expression.

It's hard to imagine that such a person could be the mastermind behind it all.

But the evidence is conclusive.

"But... is Leia still trying to lead everyone to escape? Or... has she already given up—"

"—Don't move."

The cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against his lower back. In that instant as he turned the corner, Kurobe Nanoha seized the opportunity and appeared in a flash.

"The time for the dating game is over. I won't let you keep fooling everyone anymore."

She said this in a cold voice.

Chapter 165 The mastermind behind it all isn't like that!

Invitation from Ryota Hasumi.

Accepted.

The warehouse behind the mansion.

We've arrived.

A dimly lit warehouse.

They went inside.

The muzzle of Kurobe Nanoka's gun.

It pressed against his body.

Hoshino Utsunomiya had to admit that the feeling of the cold gun barrel pressed against his waist did startle him for a moment.

But everything seemed so natural.

It's quite unexpected that Kurobe Nanoka has only now started causing him trouble, since she never accepted him in the first place.

"Leah, you can go first." Raising her hands nonchalantly to indicate she wouldn't resist, Hoshino Utsunomiya said softly, "Anyway, Nanoha Kaori, the person you're looking for is me, right?"

Is it a coincidence, or was it destined?

As the girls gradually expressed their growing impatience with him, and he began to consider how to end this time travel,

Nanoka Kurobe has come looking for her.

She came up to them, armed with her gun, and forced them to come forward.

It's time for him to die.

Of course, she certainly didn't die at Nanoha Kaori's hands.

As for suicide...

He was still a little hesitant.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but he still has some resistance to the idea of ​​suicide itself.

After all, suicide by hanging is cowardly, but if it's replaced by a suicidal charge, it becomes glorious.

"Even if I were to reiterate now that I'm not the mastermind, you probably wouldn't believe me, would you?" Utsunomiya Hoshino had no intention of looking back.

The principle of gun muzzle facing upwards.

If Kurobe Nanoha has a gun, then she's the biggest one.

“But Rhea is irrelevant.”

Hoshino Utsunomiya has reflected on this matter thoroughly.

He has died twice so far.

Once, in the wilderness of a flower field, he begged Meruru to stab him to death.

A moment in the crowd in the courtroom, begging Sherry to strangle him.

He who sought death received it.

That's definitely true; he wanted to die, and he was willing to be killed.

It's not any girl's fault.

I never hated Meruru Ice, nor did I come to dislike Sherry Tachibana because of her.

Oh right, of course, Tachibana Sherry is Witch Sherry.

Well, in fact, he didn't have any objection to the witch Yuki killing him.

He brought it on himself.

It's just that the same principle still applies.

Although rewinding seems to erase all traces, he still doesn't want to affect others too much because of the ability to rewind, if possible.

This was done very well during the first regression, but it doesn't seem to be quite right either.

After all, it seems that Hero was left out. Although Hero was played by the witch Yuki, the real Hero probably also witnessed something.

The second time, needless to say, he died in public.

Since Hero saw it, Emma must have seen it too.

Being witnessed firsthand in the grotesque state of suffocation... Even though the memory was rewound, it still felt a bit unpleasant.

Having learned from these two experiences, Hoshino Utsunomiya thought about it and realized that it would be better to die in the absence of onlookers.

Therefore, Rhea, who is not involved, please leave.

"Is that so?" However, Nanoka Kurobe's voice was very cold.

"Then why don't you look back again?"

She slightly turned the gun and shifted her body to the side.

Utsunomiya Hoshino: "...?"

The moment I turned around.

A blade, colder than the muzzle of a gun, pressed against his neck.

Sharp arrowheads, rusted shafts, and what you can see by looking up along the shafts are tattered clothes and a wooden stick used as a spear shaft.

A simple spear.

Along with the gun barrel, it was pressed against his neck.

"Don't blame me, Hoshino-kun." The one holding the spear was Ryota Hasumi, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "It's all your fault."

To be honest, when I heard him tell me to leave...

The murderous intent in Hasumi Ryoya's heart suddenly diminished considerably.

It's always like this.

He's always like that.

He always manages to say the exact words that make him most annoying.

No, I can't believe it.

He definitely did it on purpose. After all, I invited him to the warehouse, so he must already know that I and Nanoha are accomplices, and that's why he wanted to get rid of me alone.

Oh.

I won't fall for it.

"I already told you, your deeds have been exposed long ago." Kurobe Nanoha Kaori pressed the gun barrel harder again. "I've already been lenient enough by letting you enjoy yourself for so long."

"Stop trying to fool Rhea with sweet words."

Is this man still trying to win over Leia's heart with clever words even now?

Let him see just how terrible his acting is!

"Why were you able to find an art studio for Noah Kinosaki on the very first day? Why were you able to open the warehouse door so easily? Why were you able to freely enter and leave other people's rooms during curfew hours?"

There's only one reason!

"Utsunomiya Hoshino, you are the mastermind! For your own selfish desires, you imprisoned these girls in this prison under the guise of preparing them to become witches, exploiting their weaknesses to slowly break down their hearts, and venting your lewd and shameless desires on them!"

"You deserve to die!"

With gritted teeth, Kurobe Nanoka denounced Utsunomiya Hoshino's sins.

The thought of the guards' inhuman, mangled state, their obedience to the warden, and the possibility that her own sister might have been manipulated and abandoned in the same way, only to be reduced to mangled remains and continue to be used—all these thoughts evoked a deep sense of unease.

Nanoka Kurobe was burning with uncontrollable rage.

She even considered shooting him directly.

"I see." Faced with Kurobe Nanoha's words, Utsunomiya Hoshino seemed only slightly surprised, yet also somewhat unsurprised.

His attitude was very calm.

I want to shoot, I want to shoot, I want to shoot—

"--boom!"

She fired the gun.

A dull thud, and the muzzle of the gun struck Hoshino Utsunomiya's leg.

First, restrict his activities, express her hatred, and retaliate slightly.

Otherwise, if they continue with this nonchalant attitude, it will really infuriate people.

I'm pointing a gun at you! I'm recounting your crimes!

Normally, shouldn't you be trembling as you admit your mistakes and repent?!

A hole appeared, blood flowed out, and the stench of blood wafted out, making people frown involuntarily.

As the shot was fired, Hoshino Utsunomiya, who had been floating lightly, let out a muffled groan that satisfied Nanoha Kurobe.
