The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Yes, that's it.

I want to fuck you. Do you have any family issues, psychological trauma, or anything like that that you can talk to me about?

"Margot, I love you."

As he repeated his confession, Baosheng Mag's eyes reddened.

“No, you don’t love me, you don’t love me at all.” She refused to accept it.

"Love isn't like this..." she wanted to deny.

Why is it so.

Suddenly I came to my senses, and this is how it turned out.

She should not care about these things; she should act as if she is in complete control; she should squint her eyes and say flirtatious things in a low voice.

Faced with his confession, what she should have done was beckon him with her finger, smile seductively, let him prove his feelings, and let him kiss her.

But when he finally made up his mind to kiss this woman he would never like, she pushed him away and said some joking words with a smile.

Seeing his disappointed look, she leaned close to his ear and gently blew on his ear.

Say, 'You're so cute?'

With a sense of complete control, having thoroughly dictated the course of events, he turned and left.

Why has it turned out this way?

Baosheng Mag knows the reason.

Because she believed it.

Belief and disbelief are completely different things.

Different feelings lead to different reactions, especially the subconscious instincts.

If she doesn't believe it, if she thinks it's a lie, she definitely won't care.

What love? It's ridiculous to say something like that, you know?

It's one thing to fool little girls, but to try and fool me.

But the problem is.

She believes it!

She really will believe it!

Every single word he said, every single sentence.

She believed it without a doubt.

There are many ways to detect lies.

Are there any logical flaws in the speech? Are there any abnormalities in the facial expressions and demeanor while speaking? Can subtle gestures reveal a habit of deception? Is there any incongruity in the tone of the narration?

But if we really want to talk about what the decisive factor is.

only one.

feel.

I think you're lying. I feel like you're not telling the truth. I think you're deceiving me.

Humans are creatures capable of self-persuasion.

The moment doubt arises, the suspicious mind will constantly try to find more evidence to make itself more certain.

The moment you choose to believe, you will constantly try to find logic to reasonably explain the numerous flaws and inconsistencies.

Baosheng Mag chose to believe.

She believed what Hoshino Utsunomiya said.

I believed it from the very first sentence.

She's been listening since the very first sentence.

Which first sentence?

As Kurobe Nanoha Kaori quickly approached him, she murmured the first sentence to herself.

What you overhear is the easiest thing to believe.

He was about to push open the door, but stopped in his tracks because of the girl's voice. Listening to Kurobe Nanoha's emotional speech and apology, Hosho Mag was already wondering what those words meant.

Going back in time, not dead, apologizing.

The feeling of being shot in the leg, the feeling of dying from blood loss.

Provoking young girls, and...

He said he would like Nanoha Kaori's declaration.

That sentence kept echoing in my ears.

'I'll find a way to fall in love with you.'

Lighthearted, cheerful, and joyful words.

That sounds so true.

It doesn't sound like a joke.

What followed further deepened this understanding.

He could fall in love with Meruru, who had killed him once, and he could even find a way to fall in love with Nanoha, who had killed him once.

It's not hard to deduce that Hoshino Utsunomiya died from blood loss last time, the cause of death being that Nanoha Kurobe shot him in the leg.

That's why Kurobe Nanoka apologized like that.

The initial impression and understanding take root in one's heart.

The subsequent explanations deepened this understanding.

That's why Baosheng Mag wanted to deny it.

That's why she tried so hard to deny it.

As long as Utsunomiya Hoshino has even the slightest doubt about himself.

Then his love is fake.

Baosheng Mag thought he had won, really, after a heated debate that culminated in the discussion about what the witch might do, or that the witch might kill them.

She really thought she had won.

But what she didn't expect was that Utsunomiya Hoshino would blurt out that sentence.

'Then I'd rather just die.'

It was breached.

The psychological defenses built up over the long years, the acquired distrust of everyone, past traumas, experiences, feelings, and everything else that form a barrier.

I was struck by such a seemingly casual remark.

Well, how should I put it, it's a very difficult feeling to describe.

Baosheng Mag felt as if he had even lost the ability to speak for a moment.

Why would someone like that exist...?

This is the truth, the undeniable truth.

Because it was the truth, Hosho Mag understood that Utsunomiya Hoshino could truly love all of them.

This guy is the saint I hate the most.

Why did it have to appear in front of me now?

saint.

Because I want to save her, I will love her and say I love her.

No matter how much she disliked or went against her conscience, Hoshino Utsunomiya would still reach out to even someone like her, Makoto Hosho.

Say 'I love you'.

This is a foreseeable, imaginable scene.

Before Hoshino Utsunomiya even spoke, Maga Hosho had already imagined it.

At that moment, she felt nauseous and vomited.

She didn't want this kind of love that was full of lies.

She felt this was a lie.

Deceive yourself, deceive the witch.

This is not love, this is not true love, this is not the love she knows and understands.

But from the moment Utsunomiya Hoshino confessed to her and actually said it out loud...

Then the situation changed.

It's a terrifying thing.

The first confession was a lie, an absolute lie, a lie I was certain of, and a lie I was absolutely certain of.

The second confession begins with him taking her hand, followed by a long speech and the rubbing of their palms together, as if it were a confession after careful consideration.

Something terrifying happened.

His voice echoed in my ears, and he held my little hand in his.

Baosheng Mag could no longer detect the scent of lies.

She couldn't smell it, couldn't detect anything unusual, and couldn't distinguish anything clearly.

The truth...?

No, no, no, it's definitely not, absolutely not.

She wanted to deny it; she instinctively wanted to deny it.
