The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Meanwhile, on the other hand, they were also falling in love.

"Na na na na, na na na na—"

The girl made a noisy noise as she circled around Hoshino Utsunomiya like a sonar.

"When will you fall in love with me? How will you fall in love with me? Can you make me fall in love with you too?"

This is the kind of issue that Tachibana Sherry has always been concerned about.

"I'm trying."

However, this was the only answer Utsunomiya Hoshino could give.

It's a rather frustrating situation.

It's not that Tachibana Sherry isn't cute, nor is it that he has any issues with her.

Logically speaking, a girl as proactive and cooperative as Tachibana Sherry should be the easiest for him to fall in love with.

but......

It's so difficult.

Hoshino Utsunomiya genuinely found it very difficult.

Unlike the impressions that need to be erased when facing Natsume Anan, Tachibana Sherry and Natsume Anan are fundamentally different, even though they were both played by witches.

He has met the person in person.

He watched as the witch desperately pressed the shattered mask back onto her face, trying to maintain her act.

He was strangled to death by the witch with this face and these hands.

No, that's alright.

It's not that it's completely unrelated; that is, Hoshino Utsunomiya thinks it's unrelated.

In short, Tachibana Sherry is different from Natsume Anan; she never had any trace of a witch in her from the beginning.

It also prevents him from involuntarily hallucinating about other people.

Tachibana Sherry is Tachibana Sherry.

The great detective is full of boastful talk, a beaming smile, and boundless energy.

Therefore, Tachibana Sherry and Natsume Anan are different.

Well...

Of course, it's not because Tachibana Sherry's personality is so distinctive that it's impossible to like her.

If it were just a matter of making herself fall in love with this energetic, blue-haired silly boy, Utsunomiya Hoshino would think it would be a very simple and easy thing.

After all, Tachibana Sherry is indeed very cute.

A smiling face is cute, a clenched fist is cute, and a noisy face is cute.

But as mentioned before, unilaterally liking a girl is essentially a form of arrogance.

If you like someone, you'll naturally hope that they'll like you back.

But that's the problem.

Sherry Tachibana couldn't easily fall in love with him.

Even if she seems very cooperative, these kinds of things can't be solved by simply being cooperative.

I like you.

"I like you?"

"I like you!"

"Senior! I like you!"

"Go out with me!"

I've tried all sorts of confessions.

He whispered, feigning shyness, and mumbled out his confession.

A doubtful, self-questioning confession.

He spoke loudly, directly, and reached out his hand to confess his love.

Playing the role of a younger, energetic junior, confessing your feelings to a senior you admire.

It was just a simple request to get to know each other.

Tachibana Sherry was actually quite cooperative.

But let alone Hosho Mag, even if you let Utsunomiya Hoshino come and see for himself.

These confessions still lack something.

'A monster who doesn't understand human nature.'

I couldn't help but recall what the warden had said before the third time travel.

At the end of the trial, before the witch burned herself, the warden, as if hinting, said something intentionally or unintentionally.

Those who commit crimes, those addicted to addictions, false heiresses, and mediocre painters.

And then there's the 'monster who doesn't understand human nature'.

The four titles mentioned above correspond to Hero, Emma, ​​Hannah, and Noah, respectively.

The last one naturally corresponds to Tachibana Sherry.

The first four references were all verified and matched.

Hannah's family, Noah's painting skills.

If we are to believe the warden, then Sherry Tachibana is undoubtedly as described, and should not understand human nature.

As for whether it's a monster...

Well, it's hard to say, but he does have superhuman strength.

Hoshino Utsunomiya originally thought that although he had figured this out and remembered this matter, there seemed to be no need to specifically tell Sherry Tachibana.

But he thought about it for a long time.

Then I looked at the smiling Shirley Tachibana.

“Shirley,” he said.

"Hmm?" Blinking her eyes, Tachibana Sherry sat backwards in the chair, hugging the back of the chair with both hands, moving the chair back and forth with a creaking sound: "Have you fallen for me?"

The midday sun was high in the sky. She didn't need to go out to do manual labor, but she wasn't really in the mood to eat. Seeing that Utsunomiya Hoshino seemed to have some free time, she pulled him into the living room.

I don't know what to do, and I haven't thought about what to do.

But I want to be in a relationship.

Ah, being in love is wonderful.

To make a woman like Hosho Maga show a girlish demeanor, to make Natsume Anan, a gloomy girl, smile, and to make Saeki Miria, a girl who initially seemed unwilling to be liked, willingly take his hand.

Tachibana Sherry also wants to be in a relationship.

Rocking the chair beneath me, I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to fall in love.

Will I fall in love with him too?

Can I fall in love with him too?

Will he fall in love with me?

What does it feel like to be liked?

The thoughts that arise one after another, intertwined, form the idea that...

—I want to be in a relationship.

It's as if falling in love with this person allows me to transform into a human.

Hmm? Why is she transformed into a human? Does this mean that the adorable Tachibana Sherry isn't actually human?

That is of course--

"Do you consider yourself a human being?" It seemed like a casual topic to start, and Hoshino Utsunomiya didn't even look at Sherry Tachibana before casually throwing out this question.

Somewhat taken aback.

I was a little flustered.

But I still had to give a casual answer.

“…Sherry, of course I’m human.” Stopping rocking the chair, Tachibana Sherry seemed to remember something and added, “Ah, of course, if you’re looking at it from the perspective of aspiring witches.”

"I think I'm a witch too."

"Gah woo, evil witch ginseng is here!"

With her slender body, the girl spread her arms wide, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

It was somewhat of a stretch.

"But why ask this all of a sudden?" Tilting her head, Tachibana Sherry asked curiously, "Is there something about me that makes me look less than human?"

"Waaaaah, that's so heartbreaking..."

Wiping away non-existent tears, Tachibana Sherry stared straight at Utsunomiya Hoshino.

“It’s hard to say.” Hoshino Utsunomiya shook his head: “But someone… well, an owl once said that you are a ‘monster who doesn’t understand human nature’.”

It's easier to just lay it all out.

Since he and Tachibana Sherry have the same goal—both wanting the other to like them and both wanting to like each other—it's understandable.

There is indeed no need to hide anything.

Now that you've remembered, just say it.

In any case, this rewind is essentially a showdown.

Everyone should lay everything out on the table, explain things clearly, and then solve problems where possible, start dating where possible, and like each other where possible.
