The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

"But I think there will always be loopholes."

"I want to explore this cinema tonight, even if I don't find anything, I'll at least get a sense of what's inside."

As she spoke, she paused slightly and glanced at Emma Sakura again.

"You can do whatever you want."

She'd come to a realization: instead of hoping Emma could do anything, she'd rather she just eat a few more bites of the witch's popcorn—that would be contributing to the fight against the witch.

Nikaido Hiro looked at the water flow again, then at the extending water pipe.

This should be discharged outwards, right?

However, I don't have the ability to follow the pipes myself.

Let's check the other places first.

Just as Nikaido Hiro turned to leave...

Emma Sakura stopped her.

"Um..." Emma Sakura whispered, "I'm hungry."

Popcorn isn't filling and you can easily get tired of eating it.

“I can’t help you if you’re hungry. If you don’t like it, go to the witch and tell her you’re hungry, and see if she’ll give you a normal meal.” Nikaido Hiro slapped her hand away.

"...Hoshino will definitely say he'll find a way," Sakura Emma muttered.

With a slight pause, Nikaido Hiro pushed open the bathroom door.

“So I am not Hoshino Utsunomiya,” she said.

......

The restroom, popcorn and soda machine counter, and shower room.

For the time being, it seems that only two and a half rooms like these are available.

The counter can only be considered half a room.

There are no windows or other doors connecting to the outside world; the walls on both sides and the walls of the screen are solid, thick walls, and there is no hidden door to be found.

The shower room was something she hadn't noticed during the day; it contained multiple sets of identical clothes, clearly indicating that they didn't need to do laundry.

However, there is no trash can.

Not only is there no way to get out, but it seems that even their location is difficult to determine.

With a furrowed brow, Nikaido Hiro reluctantly returned to his reclining seat.

I need to sleep first, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with Hoshino's condition if I'm not energetic tomorrow morning.

Despite being forced to watch, Nikaido Hiro was still very concerned about Utsunomiya Hoshino's movements.

There were still two questions in her mind that she could never quite explain.

...Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Can......

"..."

Oh, and at the end of the night, Hoshino Utsunomiya offered to let Hannah Tono stay at his place.

So, Tono Hannah followed his outstretched hand towards the water.

They held him tightly.

Hoshino Utsunomiya might really be having an affair.

Nikaido Hiroshi suddenly had this premonition.

Surprisingly, Nikaido Hiro, who was aware of this, remained calm.

Perhaps because she had already been warned many times, the witch kept talking about cheating, cheating, cheating from the very beginning.

Or perhaps, more than the jealousy stemming from the affair, she was more concerned with the behavior of the person in question.

Beneath her seemingly normal demeanor, the subtle signs of something amiss made her feel that the affair itself was no longer important.

Of course, if possible.

It's definitely better not to fall in love with any more people.

Like this cat that started its live stream this morning, talking nonsense and yawning a lot.

Just don't fall in love with him.

Although she could clearly sense that this Sawatari Coco also seemed to have feelings for Hoshino.

Maybe it's another woman throwing herself at him.

Noah Kinosaki, Hannah Tono, Coco Sawatari.

These three women are fine no matter what.

Watching their interactions with Hoshino Utsunomiya might stir up emotions in Hiro Nikaido and the others, but it was really just that kind of thing.

They are not close enough yet; they are still in the process of building a closer relationship.

However, Meruru on Ice is completely different.

She's so vulgar.

【"Ugh, sob sob..."】

"That sound again..." Taking a deep breath, Nikaido Hiro covered his face.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Tsukishiro Yuki: "Are all witches like this? You get aroused as soon as a man touches you? Is that why you fell for Hoshino? Because he touched you without you even knowing it?"

She kept questioning him, one sentence, two sentences, three sentences, four sentences, while on the screen, Hoshino Utsunomiya was also expressing his love for Meruru Ice, and even gave her a kiss.

Perhaps none of the people present had ever experienced this before.

Princess hug.

Can you even bear to watch it? No, I can't.

Even if they were just maintaining that position while exchanging affectionate words, even if Utsunomiya Hoshino only wanted to propose a question-and-answer exchange, even if he asked about the girl's hobbies and interests in a very obvious way, seemingly wanting to make her fall in love with Ice Meruru, and to learn more about her, still...

—Wouldn't that make it even more unbearable to watch?!

So, is it really necessary to be a little submissive? Is Emma usually like this? She puts on a show of feigned reluctance, beckoning with her finger while gently pushing the person away with barely any force, making a slight resistance, but actually very willing to comply.

It arouses animalistic instincts.

Actually, he wasn't that beastly. Yes, not much. Looking at the details of Utsunomiya Hoshino's actions, he was very restrained. When he said he was touching her waist, he only touched her waist. Although his hand movements changed, the range was still controlled to her waist.

But, but...

Melulu's cry on the ice, close your eyes, turn your head, and listen only to the sound.

It looks like they've already started making circles.

So that's how it is. So this is the witch who has been suppressed for five hundred years?

It's practically a sex fetish!

The witch in the second part must have lived for a very, very long time, but she still set her sights on Hoshino, so she's also a perverted fetishist.

Tsukishiro Yuki: "......"

Eh...

Logically speaking, she should have refuted or defended him, just like Hiro's reaction yesterday when she slandered Emma. As, well, a friend, as, well, a master... she should at least have refuted or defended him a little, since Hiro's slander had also affected her.

She needs to clarify that we witches are not like that. Becoming a witch only increases our murderous intent towards others, not our desires or sensitivity.

The reason I made that sound was simply because that woman, Meluru Hikami, was too lewd!

A vulgar body, a vulgar voice, a vulgar woman.

Tsukishiro Yuki turned her head away.

Choose to ignore this problem.

The big witch pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Nikaido Hiro couldn't stand it anymore.

As for Emma Sakura.

...She seems to have low blood sugar.

I'm not full, I'm not full, I'm not full...

Cola and popcorn are full of sugar, and your mouth feels sticky and uncomfortable after eating or drinking them. She searched for half the night yesterday but couldn't find anything else to eat. In desperation, she rinsed her mouth with tap water and even drank a little bit to cleanse her throat.

But there is a price to pay.

This morning, she woke up hungry and with low blood sugar.

It's probably low blood sugar, right?

Emma Sakura didn't know much about this; she only knew that dizziness from not eating meant low blood sugar.

what......

Miss Meruru, you're calling out so happily.

Being able to eat my fill, being able to snuggle up to Hoshino, and being held in Hoshino's arms.

In contrast, I am just curled up here, wrapped in a thin sheet, gazing into the distance.

With the help of low blood sugar, Emma Sakura really did have that feeling of looking at the warmth inside the house through the glass window on a snowy day.

Xiaoxue... wait, how come this witch is so wicked?

"Hoshino, did you come here because you've fallen for someone?"

When it seemed that no one really wanted to stare at the screen, only the last sentence caught their attention.

This is perhaps the only sentence that makes one want to cheer even slightly: "Meruru on Ice, you're absolutely right."

Emma Sakura and Hiro Nikaido wonder if Hoshino is clear about what he is about to do.

What Yuki Tsukishiro cares about is...
