The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

...Huh?

Indeed, humans cannot understand witches.

Hoshino Utsunomiya withdrew all his slander against the system.

"—Pour!" came the resounding reply.

Sure enough, this was the path he knew best.

soon.

The familiar iron bucket was filled with water, and icy cold water poured down.

The only slight difference is...

Someone crouched down slightly.

Then--

"It's so cold."

She uttered the same exclamation as the witch.

It was the first time he had been doused with cold water, the first time he had felt that bone-chilling cold sensation, and Hoshino Utsunomiya expressed his feelings from the bottom of his heart.

Why does he also need to be watered?

That's because they're friends now.

If they continue to water each other unilaterally, then their relationship has clearly not fundamentally changed.

Therefore, this is necessary.

"..."

The two drenched people looked at each other in the toilet; one kept smiling, while the other had a subtle expression.

With a subtle expression, Hoshino Utsunomiya spoke first:

"Let's go change our clothes."

Chapter 36 This is not Emma Sakura's friend

The key to the activity room that Hiro specifically requested must be in Tsukishiro Yuki's possession.

However, she never took the initiative to open the door to this room.

Because she hadn't expected to get wet, Hoshino Utsunomiya hadn't prepared any spare clothes and could only reluctantly change into the ones that the system had provided but which she had never used.

Sports clothes.

It's very convenient and quick for men to change clothes.

One off, one set.

That's it.

It seems a bit troublesome for girls to change clothes...

No, to be precise, it should be that changing the witch's clothes would be very troublesome.

—Yuki Tsukishiro cannot change her clothes by herself.

At least, after Utsunomiya Hoshino quickly changed into clean clothes, she showed no intention of making a move.

Instead, he simply looked up at Hoshino Utsunomiya.

"...?" Hoshino Utsunomiya hesitated for a moment: "You don't mean you want me to change it for you, do you?"

...Although it has been changed before.

He was the one who helped me change when I took a bath back then.

But that was then, and now is now.

"My clothes are wet." Tsukishiro Yuki tugged at her black sailor uniform. If someone were to look down at her from above, they would surely see the incredibly captivating sight in the shadows. "If I don't change, I'll catch a cold."

Sister, do you now know that you'll catch a cold if you don't change your clothes?

I've watered you so many times before, why didn't you ever seem to want to change your clothes?

Smiling faces, clothes pulled up, and an atmosphere of urgency filled the small activity room.

Just as Hoshino Utsunomiya sighed softly and was about to reach out his hand...

The door to the activity room was suddenly flung open.

Emma Sakuraba, with her eyes closed and shouting, appeared from behind the door, took a step forward, and shouted:

"—It still doesn't work!!!"

"I don't understand why Xiaoxue wants to be friends with him, but even among friends of the opposite sex, you shouldn't just let someone help you change clothes!!!"

"If you want to change it, let me do it!!!"

We couldn't wait for Xiaoxue to tell her what was wrong! If we waited until something happened before trying to stop it, it would be too late!

Emma Sakuraba makes her grand entrance.

With sharp eyes and keen gaze, he raised his hand to protect Yuki's movements.

Her petite frame is like a city wall, the most solid barrier in front of Yuki Tsukishiro!

...Although the witch doesn't seem to need this barrier at all.

Behind Emma's cover, Yuki Tsukishiro, whose face was hidden, immediately frowned, abandoning her smile and grinding her teeth repeatedly.

I already told you he's my new friend! Emma, ​​what are you so worried about?!

You help me change my clothes every few days, so what's wrong with having him help me change my clothes?

Let me tell you, Emma, ​​Utsunomiya's actions are much gentler than yours!

Utsunomiya will help me take a bath, can you do that?!

The little bit of resentment that was rising in the witch's heart was quietly hidden behind Emma's back.

My bad mood was quickly lifted.

Utsunomiya Hoshino, who was pushed out the door by the back, was completely isolated. Tsukishiro Yuki, who had given up taking care of herself and let Emma help her change, quickly adjusted her mood.

The reason is simple.

Not long after.

It's a holiday.

Although it is a short holiday, it is not long, but since there is no need to gather at school or commute to school regularly.

So whatever you do with your friends has nothing to do with Emma, ​​right?

"Alright! Xiaoxue, let's go back to the classroom!"

After straightening her collar, Emma Sakuraba placed her hands on Yuki's shoulders and pushed her towards the door, saying this.

Emma deliberately ignored Hoshino Utsunomiya waiting by the door and intentionally pushed Yuki Tsukishiro's body quickly, wanting to separate the two of them in a straightforward manner.

—She succeeded.

Tsukishiro Yuki didn't stop, and Utsunomiya Hoshino didn't raise his hand to stop them.

However, what the girl didn't notice was...

Before they passed each other, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.

Between her brows and eyes, in her clear pupils, the girl was special; she only blinked one eye.

The posture of this moment, the charm of this glance.

It wasn't the serene smile that seemed calm at first glance but grew increasingly unsettling the more you looked at it; instead, it was a genuine and deeply emotional smile.

wink?

Perhaps it lacks any allure, or perhaps it can be considered particularly charming.

But at least that one glance made Utsunomiya Hoshino completely understand.

—That damned witch was just playing with herself all along.

Wouldn't that make him look really good?!

......

This is Hoshino Utsunomiya's friend.

Moonlit Snow.

She has a pretty face, but she seems to deliberately let herself smell rotten from time to time, repeatedly provoking others with a deliberately maintained expression in order to get herself bullied.

Here comes the point.

She is a witch.

This is a secret known only to Hoshino Utsunomiya within this school.

This is Yuki's friend.

Hiro Nikaido.

She possesses an exceptional sense of justice, excels in both character and academics, and comes from a privileged family. She is highly trusted and expected to succeed both at school and at home, making her a well-known and respected Yamato Nadeshiko.

Here comes the point.

She went abroad to study.

Because his diary of helping others, which can be described as a dark history, was publicly read aloud and executed, he fled abroad shortly afterward.

This is Nikaido Hiro's friend.

Sakura Emma.

Although she and Shiro separated and their relationship faded after entering junior high school, she became friends with Yuki Tsukishiro and, after reaching out to Shiro again, she and Shiro resumed their good friendship.

She looks very endearing; she's an awkward and often-failed girl whose least favorite thing is eating alone.

Here comes the point.

This clumsiness wasn't feigned, but in order not to be disliked, she would often deliberately let people see her fail.
