The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

What would it feel like?

This is what she wants to hear.

Do you think Yuki Tsukishiro is referring to Noah Kinosaki?

No, she was talking about Nikaido Hiro.

My best friend, my most trusted best friend, the best friend I thought was least likely to betray me, the best friend who was least likely to date Hoshino.

Why did you start dating Hoshino?

And why would you dare to drag him into the shower and do the things he and I did?

...Now, there is a girl who might be in the same position as me.

This is the child you trusted so much, who has now betrayed your trust and done the same things as you and Hoshino did, or even more.

What was your reaction?

Night passed, and the sun rose.

The evening whispers turned to topics of love, and Hoshino Utsunomiya confessed his feelings for Meruru Ice.

Then, the next morning, she was taken away by Noah Kinosaki.

Yukishiro thought that the Noah Kinosaki that Yukishiro had slandered would hide her flaws and continue to pretend that she was the Noah Kinosaki of the Big Flower family.

After that kiss, she took the initiative and pulled Utsunomiya Hoshino along, showing herself off.

'I can't actually draw,' 'These are all magical drawings,' 'I want to hear what Hoshino thinks.'

She was definitely hoping that she would be forgiven and allowed to leave.

What I'd like to hear is that your drawing is already very good, or that I don't care about these things, because what I like is Noah.

That's something I'd definitely like to hear.

Yuki Tsukishiro also wants to hear it.

Listen to him forgive himself, listen to him say he likes her, listen to him comfort and encourage her, saying, "Xue, you've already tried your best, don't blame yourself too much."

Yuki Tsukishiro couldn't hear it.

Noah Kinosaki couldn't hear it either.

What Noah Kinosaki heard was words of comfort.

It wasn't the kind of unconditional, gentle acceptance, but rather a slightly more earnest and earnest sharing of feelings.

Noah wanted to hear how Hoshino felt.

Therefore, Hoshino will express his truest feelings.

Then, pose a counter-question.

Are you really drawing seriously again? Are you really putting in the effort? Do you enjoy drawing? Or...?

I like Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Noah Kinosaki's answer was very simple.

She understood what she could hear and comprehend.

Ultimately, what choice should be made?

It was also her choice.

But before that.

She likes Hoshino Utsunomiya.

I want one more kiss.

Even through the screen, even through the lens, the three girls in the movie theater could still clearly feel that...

The feeling of having my inner knot untied.

Hoshino might really be good at this, or rather, he and Noah Kinosaki are both serious enough about each other.

...This seems to have gone beyond the scope of the mission.

The feelings of affection between the two began to shift from vague and ambiguous to something that might even be described by others as not being normal affection.

Turn it into reality.

"......ah."

Ah, ahh, ah......

His lips parted, and a series of broken sounds came from his throat.

I felt a lump in my throat, a bit suppressed, a bit...

envious.

I want that kind of treatment too! I want that kind of treatment too! Why, why, why—

Suddenly halting her thoughts, Yuki took a deep breath and turned to look at Hiro Nikaido.

This is her most important friend, and also her most cherished 'frame of reference'.

Tell me quickly.

you.

Hoshino.

Noah Kinosaki.

I forgiven her.

I endured it.

Accepted.

Without needing to answer, Yukishiro saw that Hiro Nikaido also showed that seemingly reconciled look in his eyes.

Even if Hoshino Utsunomiya and Noah Kinosaki get together.

Nikaido Hiro would only calmly utter one sentence.

"I see."

The jealousy didn't disappear, but it was accepted.

It's somewhat like...

last night.

Yes, last night, when I was having a bedtime whisper with Hannah Tono.

Hoshino Utsunomiya was speaking.

He explained why he liked Meruru Ice Ride.

He recounted his first meeting with Meruru.

...Is it me?

When we first meet, I'll be the one who earnestly heals him, right?

My head was buzzing with these thoughts, while I could still hear him explaining why he liked me.

Why would he like her? Because he came here specifically to like Meruru.

And coincidentally, the gentle ice skater Meruru accepted his intentions completely and kept agreeing to his affections.

A body exploring, a feeling of anticipation—Utsunomiya Hoshino is infatuated with a girl named Ice Meruru.

Whether this argument is correct or not, Yukishiro will not comment.

However, that night, she couldn't sleep, thinking about one thing.

So... it really was my fault?

The reason why Hoshino fell in love with Meruru.

It was because I played Meruru on our first meeting that he took a liking to me.

—I told you I acted right!

It seems that Yuki Tsukishiro had mentioned it several times before. Hoshino liked it, Hoshino cared about it, and the reason Hoshino chased after Meruru was because of the Meruru she had played.

But actually, she wasn't that convinced.

I just wanted to say it that way, and I just felt that thinking this way would help her fantasize.

But now, he has admitted it himself.

I admit it!

Who said he wouldn't like me? Who said he hates me?

Step forward!

Nikaido Hiro! Step forward!

Of course, in the end, Yuki Tsukishiro didn't actually slam her chair and yell at Hiro to question him.

That feeling might be nice, but the thought of Hiro's foul mouth made her lose interest.

Anyway, just tease Noah Kinosaki a couple of times when she comes out, that's enough.

As for what Hoshino said later about his impure motives for liking someone...

Oh.

If the initial intention was impure, why bother thinking about liking someone?

For the sake of liking what you like.

Inferior!

......

Yuki Tsukishiro despises the inferior affection that Meluru on Ice receives.

Where is Emma Sakura? What is Emma Sakura doing?
