The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

"Visual manipulation!" Taking a deep breath, Hasumi Ryoya said somewhat resignedly, "It's the kind of magic that can control people's gaze! It's the kind of magic that makes fans only look at me in the center position on TV! It makes people think about watching me without leaving a trace!"

"That's it!"

So what if I want people to watch me!

"Okay, thank you." Hoshino Utsunomiya nodded gently. "However, whether or not magic is used, I will be watching over Rhea."

“…I know,” Hasumi Ryoya said softly.

Of course she knew.

Otherwise, at that time, under such extreme emotional circumstances, I wouldn't have had the thought of wanting this person to keep watching me.

I'm so annoying.

Ironically, this person is the least likely to keep looking at you.

The current Ryota Hasumi is well aware of this.

The four girls who disappeared before the time travel, and the girls around me now after the time travel.

Hoshino Utsunomiya's eyes are meant to be fixed on and observed by many, many, many people.

It won't stay with her forever.

She absolutely hates this.

However, she clearly had no right to ask for more. At least, for Hasumi Ryoya, who was filled with guilt, even though feelings of liking had already begun to sprout in her heart, she couldn't ask for more.

She believed that Nanoha Kurobe felt the same way.

The declaration that one does not want to be liked is essentially because one feels unworthy of being liked.

Hoshino Utsunomiya is definitely right. If anyone is wrong...

That was the witch.

It must be the witch's fault, it's all the witch's fault.

How could this witch be so wicked? She actually stuffed memories into my head.

Please let me forget that unpleasant ending, and let me fall in love with Hoshino again, pure and innocent—

Ugh......

That's not acceptable.

If she could, Hasumi Ryoa wouldn't be so conflicted.

Ultimately, she is a girl who feels guilty even about secretly using eye contact to attract fans' attention.

“If a witch can do something like making Hoshino fall in love with everyone, it wouldn’t be surprising if she did something even more foolish,” she said.

Chapter 177 She still wants to have a serious relationship

"that......"

Saeki Miria couldn't help but speak up.

Let's put the topic of going back in time for now...

Saeki Miria tugged at her clothes, deciding she still had to say something.

While everyone might enjoy watching, she noticed that Arisa Fujito and Anan Natsume were completely captivated.

Even though she felt it might be a bit abnormal, and even though she couldn't quite accept this kind of relationship.

However, love is ultimately a matter between two people, and since Marge can accept it, she really has no right to say anything more.

only......

"Love or not, like or dislike... before that, we should be discussing what we should do next..." Forcing herself to break the current awkward atmosphere and steer the conversation back on track, Saeki Millia's voice lowered as she spoke her thoughts:

"We can't exactly say that everyone's lining up here, one by one, waiting to be liked by Utsunomiya, and then stabbing him to death to go back in time..."

That's so strange!

"And we also have to consider people like Nanoha Kaori who don't want to be liked... and me too. Although, although I can't control one-sided liking, I still find it strange."

We cannot remain silent, nor can we stand idly by.

If you find something strange, you should speak up. If you allow the strange atmosphere to spread, you will eventually be caught up in it.

Saeki Miria no longer wanted to be swayed by the atmosphere and do things against her will.

She still wants to have a serious relationship.

Ahh...

I was thinking of going to see him after high school.

Unfortunately, now, even escaping is a problem, let alone breaking free from the backtracking.

"That's what she said?" Baosheng Mag smiled. "How cute!"

Will you like it?

She asked Hoshino Utsunomiya this question.

"I will try my best."

When Hoshino Utsunomiya gave the same answer as Sherry Tachibana.

She showed a satisfied expression.

Baosheng Mag was able to sense that he was special to him.

Even though everyone may be special, she knew that she was definitely a particularly special one.

Perhaps she can't compare to the girl he initially fell in love with, the one who was captured by the witch.

But, since she's not here, what can we do?

Hehe~

“The problem that Milia was worried about will not happen.” Hoshino Utsunomiya said softly, “I originally just planned to explain things to everyone and then let everyone move around freely. I didn’t intend to tie everyone to this meeting room.”

"Aside from my personal relationship situation, there are other things everyone needs to consider, let me think about it..."

After thinking for a while, Hoshino Utsunomiya raised his index finger.

"The warden and the guards." That's one of them.

"Although I have encountered situations where the warden and guards did not exist during the time travel, these two are still very scary."

"The warden is an owl-shaped doll that can speak human language. It's unclear whether there's something manipulating things behind the scenes, or if he's a witch's familiar."

"The guards are the remnants of brainwashing and manipulation, the form that everyone would take after becoming a witch, which is the result I want to avoid as much as possible."

"You can find relevant information in the Witch's Compendium, as well as some of the prison's rules. If you break the rules, you'll be thrown into solitary confinement by the guards."

“I’m not sure if they’ve just disappeared temporarily or if they don’t plan to appear in this rewind.” After a pause, Hoshino Utsunomiya said, “So I hope everyone can keep an eye out for any traces of them.”

"As for whether or not to follow the rules... that's up to the individual."

Following the rules without oversight can actually create a sense of self-taming.

"As for living conditions... since the guards have disappeared, the canteen probably won't provide food regularly, but the supplies in the warehouse should still be there. Hot water is supposed to be provided at a set time in the evening, but I can't be sure until then," said Hoshino Utsunomiya, raising his second finger.

Then, extending his third finger, Hoshino Utsunomiya said again:

"By the way, although the witch is rewinding time, I know for sure that any attempt to escape is futile."

"But if everyone is willing to give it a try, and has a goal and direction to work towards."

"I will try to help everyone find a way to escape," he said.

These words struck a chord with the girls perfectly.

"Ahem." Hasumi Ryoya stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "Let me lead everyone."

"Although... my image might, well, have a tiny, minor problem."

Hasumi Ryoya scratched her head slightly.

"But I still want to maintain a good image."

There are many things I'm struggling with, and many things I care about.

But Ryota Hasumi thought for a moment and then looked at Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Since things have come to this point...

Since she had already followed her emotions and said everything,

Let's just go all out and try starting from scratch.

"I want to be seen, I want to get everyone's attention, I want to attract attention." Hasumi Ryoga straightened her back slightly, making her already tall figure appear even taller in everyone's eyes.

"So, let me lead the group."

"I want to lead everyone to escape from here."

Although she may not know as much about this place as Hoshino, she had still explored the surrounding area during her last rewind.

In the end, however, there was no plan to escape.

Because no one was with her.

Thinking about this still makes me feel a little sad.

There were quite a few people last time, even excluding Hoshino, there were still eight people.

Excluding the four who were won over by Hoshino, none of the remaining four followed her.

Even though at the beginning it seemed that she was only superficially agreeing with her friends, such as Hosho Mag and Kurobe Nanoha, it was actually just a matter of superficial compliance.

This made her start to doubt her own leadership abilities.

Even if it's just one person, even if it's just one person, it's fine.

Perhaps it was this thought that made her start to care about Hoshino Utsunomiya.

After all, at least he would occasionally pay attention to me when we met.

It was done with great care.

However, when the person he likes needs him, he will turn away without hesitation.
