The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

But once violence is used, things begin to spiral out of control.

Violence can cause physical harm and leave marks on the body, serving as evidence.

Therefore, Hoshino Utsunomiya never really wanted to resort to violence.

Even though he seemed to have received super power from the system right away.

But, as expected, this doesn't really count as bullying, right?

Bullying that could lower her favorability and incite her murderous intent...

—I don't need it.

......

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

After taking countless detours, Hoshino Utsunomiya began her daily routine of watering the flowers.

A resolute gaze, a determined look, a composed gait, and a hand tightly gripping the handle of the bucket.

The rusty wire creaked and groaned, and the water in the bucket swayed and bounced with each step.

The bucket tilted, and cold water poured down with a loud crash.

"Splash—"

For what seemed like the umpteenth time, Hoshino Utsunomiya soaked Yuki Tsukishiro's body.

Damp, wet, water droplets slid down the ends of her hair and down her pretty face.

The girl raised her head and smiled.

"It's so cold."

He watered the flowers as usual, and she smiled as usual, calmly expressing how she felt at the moment when cold water was pouring on her.

It's so cold, freezing cold. The water is cold, and when I pour it on myself, my body gets so cold too.

The water is still ice cold today.

Once the watering is finished, he'll probably have to do something else, right?

Hehe, hehe.

What does bullying look like today?

Tsukishiro Yuki smiled serenely, her eyes filled with anticipation.

But it's this smile, it's just looking at this smile.

Hoshino Utsunomiya was already harboring pent-up emotions from repeated bullying and repeated failures and setbacks.

Erupted.

"It's normal to feel cold; it would be strange not to feel cold after being doused with cold water." With a mixture of exasperation and laughter, and a bewildered expression, Utsunomiya Hoshino finally began to question, "But didn't you have any ideas that were even angrier? Didn't you have any expressions that were even more furious?"

He had to question this witch.

Yukishiro, you really are a witch! Can't you show some authority? Can't you be a little more intimidating? Can you raise your hand and say you're going to kill me?

Why does he still have that same smiling, deadpan expression?

Calling it a dead face might be a bit of an exaggeration, since Yuki Tsukishiro's face is truly beautiful.

He can't be considered dead, he can't be considered dead.

However, no matter how beautiful a face or expression is, if it remains the same from beginning to end, it will still give people an extremely awkward feeling.

Especially that expression, it's a 'smiling' expression.

Was she genuinely smiling or faking it? Was she mocking me, or was she simply bursting with delight at the sight of me?

I don't understand at all.

"A dead face...?" Yukishiro tilted her head.

That was truly unexpected.

In the past, Hoshino Utsunomiya rarely said anything unnecessary when bullying others, as if she was trying to avoid communicating with herself more, or as if she was suppressing her instinct to speak too softly.

After all, no matter what, he was bullying.

Therefore, they will question us like they do now, even bluntly calling us deadpan or something.

...It's really quite novel.

It felt like I was finally seeing a different side of him, which was surprisingly gratifying.

However, I should respond, well, I'll apologize.

With a smile, Yuki Tsukishiro offered her apology:

"Well, I'm really sorry."

The moment the words fell, Yukishiro could see with her own eyes that Hoshino Utsunomiya's aura underwent another familiar change.

Just like that time, the day he removed my desk and chairs, and the time I asked him if he was going to help me take a bath again.

He gripped the iron bucket tightly in his hand.

Clear fingerprints appeared on the edge of the iron bucket.

Gritting his teeth and taking a deep breath, Hoshino Utsunomiya lifted the iron bucket high.

The edge of the metal bucket reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight shining through the window.

Ah, has it finally come to this?

He'll probably smash this metal bucket down on me, he'll probably punch me hard in the stomach, he'll probably kick me like he kicked those other students, right?

Although she had been bullied for a long time before, Yuki Tsukishiro had never actually experienced what it felt like to be violently bullied.

If it were me, what kind of wailing would I let out?

Unable to resist the urge to wander, and with anticipation rising, Yuki's gaze was fixed on the raised iron bucket.

then.

next moment.

A girl with pink highlights rushed out in front of her.

Chapter 30 is truly shameless.

A questioning voice, outstretched arms, wide-open eyes.

Emma Sakura rushed out and stood in front of Yuki Tsukishiro to protect her.

She really couldn't watch anymore.

She had to step forward.

Otherwise, if that raised iron bucket really did fall down and hit Yuki Tsukishiro.

She would lose an irreplaceable friend.

Hiro, you're wrong. He won't protect Xiaoxue.

On the contrary, it was he who hurt Xiaoxue.

Hero was wrong, but Hero was also right.

On the very first day that Hoshino Utsunomiya transferred to the school, Hiro had already expressed his distrust.

Although we don't know why he changed his attitude later, it seems that Hero was right.

Utsunomiya Hoshino.

It's evil!

Emma Sakuraba became angry.

If it were Nikaido Hiro, his expression would be extremely ferocious, filled with the most obvious hostility.

But she is Emma Sakuraba.

No matter how hard it tries to bark, it will only sound like a well-behaved puppy barking, making people feel that it is full of kiangkiang sounds.

It has absolutely no deterrent effect.

However, it was precisely this incident of her rushing out, and the question she posed, that made it so important.

This allowed Hoshino Utsunomiya to cool down.

Put down the iron bucket, throw away the iron bucket, and open your hands.

Helpless and utterly bored.

The rhetorical question came from his mouth.

Emma Sakura couldn't quite make out the specifics of what he said.

The only sentence that was clear in my ears was a single sentence.

"Anyway, I'll continue to bully her."

These were the words that Hoshino Utsunomiya personally admitted before he turned and left.

"..."

Emma Sakura slowly lowered her outstretched arms and fell silent.

She didn't know how to respond if she couldn't hear clearly, but if she could hear clearly, it stirred up complicated emotions in her heart.

Why is this happening?

Since Hoshino Utsunomiya transferred to our school, the students who used to bully Yuki have stopped and stopped bullying her.

This should have been a good thing.

But why did he have to do it? Why didn't he choose to become Xiaoxue's protector? Instead, he took on the job of bullying her and started to bully her again and again.

Now that Hiro has already chosen to entrust Xiaoxue to him, she shouldn't interfere.

But I still couldn't bear to watch it.

Whether it was Hoshino Utsunomiya's bullying of Yuki Tsukishiro, or how his presence caused Yuki Tsukishiro to spend significantly less time with him.
