The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

The stark and dazzling truth is very captivating.

...I'm not tempted anymore.

After all, upon closer examination, it doesn't really require that much money, and what comes with the money is not just the joy of wealth.

There will also be responsibilities.

He already has enough responsibilities to bear; he can't afford to take on any more.

Perhaps that's why he subconsciously forgot about that past.

"This feels a bit perfunctory..." Tachibana Sherry looked suspicious. "I smell something being hidden!"

The detective's intuition told her that there was a clue here!

"Tell me! Has Hoshino ever liked any other girls in the past?" she demanded in a stern voice.

Hoshino Utsunomiya wouldn't hide anything from her.

If there's anything that Hoshino Utsunomiya is deliberately hiding from her, then she shouldn't know those things.

So she decisively tried asking about the topic of love that she was most interested in and most wanted to know.

Did Hoshino ever have that innocent, budding period of longing and crush on someone?

As for the rest, she really couldn't investigate Hoshino's past daily life like she was checking a census.

Ordinary and boring days...

I think everyone is like this, right?

"..." Taken aback by the sudden question, Utsunomiya Hoshino was somewhat taken aback: "Other girls you like...?"

This question was definitely not directed at Hero and Emma.

After all, the premise of the current discussion is 'going back to the past, outside the mansion'.

Tachibana Sherry blinked: "No?"

“...Yes.” Hoshino Utsunomiya did not deny it.

If you ask whether there is one or not, then there is definitely one, absolutely one. Even in the Western-style mansion, I can't help but recall the figure I truly loved.

"Hehe, I didn't." With a playful laugh, Tachibana Sherry pressed her hands to her sides and wiggled her uneasy little legs.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing her snow-white neck, and a smile played on her lips.

"First point!"

Although I don't know which point it is, or how the score is calculated, or how many points constitute a victory.

But in short, it's only one point.

"But what kind of person does Hoshino like?"

After the laughter subsided, Tachibana Sherry regained her curiosity.

She was just asking casually, wondering if such a person really existed.

As for the fact that Hoshino Utsunomiya had liked other people, she wasn't particularly unhappy about it.

Ultimately, since Hoshino is here, doesn't that mean they didn't succeed?

And if she were to be jealous of even that person, she would have been jealous of all the other girls by now.

Jealousy, then punch them one by one!

cough.

But Sherry was magnanimous and didn't care at all.

More than whether she was jealous or not, she was curious about what kind of person Hoshino, who was probably normal before being entangled with the witch, would fall in love with.

Is it pretty?

"It looks good." This was the only point that Hoshino Utsunomiya could answer decisively.

"It's really beautiful."

"Before that, I probably never imagined there could be such a good-looking person."

He used every ounce of praise he could muster to describe it.

After all, he really is such a superficial person.

"It's a pity she's dead."

Hoshino Utsunomiya looked up at the sky.

The hazy clouds drifted by, revealing a clear blue sky, though it was blurry and my vision felt somewhat murky.

...He shouldn't feel sad about this.

"Dead? Is he dead?" Tachibana Sherry was somewhat surprised. "That's... a pity."

She wanted to say something, but that was all she could say.

Otherwise, neither clapping and cheering nor feeling sad together seems quite appropriate.

"Yes, that's a pity." Hoshino Utsunomiya nodded and looked away.

Looking at the greenery on the wall, it became much clearer.

It was clear that his eyes were not filled with tears because of sadness; it was simply that the sky was too far away and somewhat blurry.

"If she hadn't died, I probably wouldn't be here."

Either he died smoothly at her hands, or he wasn't entangled by the witch.

Upon careful consideration, aside from the initial speculations about her kinship, there is another more plausible possibility for someone like me who has no possibility of having any contact with the witch.

...Meruru originally came to capture Emma and Hiro, but happened to be taken care of by Emma and caught the witch's eye, so she was taken back by her.

love at first sight?

love at first sight.

If the witch's explanation when she impersonated Sherry was a genuine expression of her feelings.

That really was love at first sight.

"If she hadn't died," Shirley Tachibana murmured repeatedly.

“Yes, if she’s not dead.” Hoshino Utsunomiya nodded decisively in confirmation.

This sense of certainty began to make Tachibana Sherry feel a little uncomfortable.

It's not for Hoshino.

It's for that person.

If you're going to die, just die peacefully. Why is it acting like Hoshino is still thinking about her?

Excessive!

It's not that I can't accept mourning, but mourning is mourning!

Slightly unable to contain herself, Tachibana Sherry asked again.

"So, why did she die?"

Since it's so beautiful, it's such a pity.

Then, why did she die?

Chapter 201 Very, Very Bad People

Yeah, why?

Hoshino Utsunomiya was also pondering this question.

He had been thinking about it for a very, very long time.

What conclusions did we reach at that time?

Well......

Oh, right.

"Because she's an idiot."

The emotions were conveyed through the simple words.

Shirley Tachibana was stunned.

Is this...?

What an unexpected answer.

It has a certain impact.

Especially when Hoshino says such a thing.

What should have felt out of place was actually quite natural, but Tachibana Sherry didn't find it particularly jarring; instead, it exuded a genuine, human warmth.

This was perhaps the first and only swear word that came out of Hoshino Utsunomiya's mouth.

The object of his affections was someone he used to like, someone who was extremely beautiful, but who had died.

The lingering emotions I felt immediately dissipated.

Although it's not good, although I know it's not good.

but......

A slight smile still crept onto Tachibana Sherry's face.

Hohohohohohohoho——

Oh dear, Hoshino seems to be holding a lot of grudges.

Now she was genuinely becoming more and more curious about how that person had died.

How did you die?

"Hanging." After catching his breath for a moment, Hoshino Utsunomiya closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he whispered the name of someone's death.

"He hanged himself in front of me."
