The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

What am I saying...?

What am I getting angry about?

What did I do wrong this time?

Was it because he was being criticized that he felt uncomfortable, or because he was annoyed by their crying, or perhaps he felt an unpleasant sense of comparison from their behavior...?

Unwilling to admit it, unwilling to admit it.

Can......

After emptying your mind, you still have to come back to face reality.

He swayed his stiff, mechanical body and staggered to his feet.

There is still a lot to be done.

There are four people whose memories need to be preserved this time, and four people who have already fallen in love with Hoshino.

Meru on Ice, Noah Kinosaki, Hannah Tono, Coco Sawatari.

These four people have been added to the whitelist for death rewind, and those who retain their memories will be rewound accordingly.

But if Kurobe Nanoha and Hasumi Ryoa, who personally killed Hoshino, could they so easily forget everything?

Tsukishiro Yuki doesn't really accept it.

How can we let them forget so easily?

If they could forget so easily, then why did I stand there expressionless as they killed Hoshino?

Make them remember, make them feel guilty, make them feel disgusted and nauseous, make them loathe their sinful hands, and never dare to touch Hoshino again!

...So she wanted them to remember.

As for Arisa Wisteria and Maggie Hosho...

Actually, it's fine to just ignore it. These two are probably the most difficult types to get along with. Whether they know or not that Hoshino is falling for other women, they probably wouldn't fall for Hoshino so easily.

After thinking about it for a while, Yukishiro suddenly had the idea to conduct a controlled variable test.

In this way, I retain the memory for one person and not for the other.

Let's see if it's more difficult to approach Hoshino with memories or without them.

how about it?

The few people I was most likely to like have already been taken back; the remaining ones are the type that I could tell would be troublesome just by looking at their profiles.

Hoshino will probably still try to like them and get to know them better.

But it's definitely not that simple or easy.

How many will I like this time I go back in time?

One, or two?

Nanoha and Rhea are definitely not a good match.

They might even turn into witches and develop a murderous impulse to kill Hoshino again.

...Actually, she didn't really want to see Hoshino die.

She would just let him die.

Because he was already seeking death.

But would Yuki Tsukishiro really want to see Hoshino Utsunomiya die?

...She was actually not really willing.

Death may not be a big deal; to a witch, death is a trivial matter.

But I still really don't want to see him die again and again.

Even if it was something I created myself.

The reason I said those things, and the reason I reacted so angrily to Heero and Emma's words...

It's because what they said went too far.

It's like it's all my fault.

...up to most.

It was my fault for intentionally killing Hoshino twice.

I didn't do anything this time. It was Nanoha and Rhea who misunderstood and took action on their own.

Why blame me...?

"..."

Tsukishiro Yuki curled up, scratching her hair in disarray.

She still couldn't get up so quickly.

Let her take a break.

Just for a moment.

...Never mind, let's just not let them kill Hoshino.

After they expressed their murderous intent towards Hoshino, I pressed the rewind button.

With their clear killing intent repeatedly expressed, even Hoshino wouldn't be able to fall in love with them again so easily, right?

...Although Yuki Tsukishiro didn't know how many more times she could watch this farce.

But since the decision has already been made to go back in time...

Let it play out to the end.

Let it happen again, let it happen again.

Ultimately, this is a stage play that will be repeated indefinitely.

You like it, right? You like it, right?

I told you, if you're so capable, then you should like everyone.

Although......

There aren't many people left.

Hoshino has already liked six people.

The list included only thirteen girls who had been brought in and prepared in advance.

Seven people remain.

Do we need to come in two separate trips?

......never mind.

Just throw them all in.

There were only seven people.

The more people there are, the less Hoshino will be able to take care of them, right?

If you watch Hoshino fall for one person after another, if you see, hear, or even smell traces of Hoshino being intimate with other people every now and then...

She would also be willing to accept the woman Hoshino likes.

That's definitely shameless.

If you can accept this, what is that if not shamelessness!

Moreover, there was a woman inside whom Hoshino had never seen before.

Yes, I'm talking about Saeki Miria.

It's hard to fall in love with a woman you've just met, isn't it?

There will be a next time.

With this in mind, Yuki Tsukishiro finalized the list for this event.

But it's not over yet.

Backtracking is fine, but repeating the same operation as before will only lead to repeating the same mistakes.

Retrospection is an ability that requires frequent review of mistakes and corrections.

Things that weren't done well, or things that were done wrong, can be done better; they won't get any worse.

If you do nothing and just backtrack randomly, it's undoubtedly a waste of backtracking time.

Therefore, each time Tsukishiro Yuki undergoes significant adjustments.

Personnel selection, rules, and environment.

While more variables may mean more changes, adjustments are still necessary.

What should we adjust this time?

There's really nothing to adjust.

After thinking for a long time, Yuki Tsukishiro only decided to confiscate the guards and the warden.

She finally understood.

Prison rules and such are utter failures.

Fixed schedule, regular door locking, guard patrols, and penalties for violations.

What are witch illustrations, witch transformation, remains, witch trial?

These are the various rules that Meruru set up to put pressure on people in order to promote the transformation of people into witches.

None of them will work.

To put it bluntly, these rules are all things Meruru uses to put pressure on the aspiring witches: the threat of death, the risk of becoming a witch, the fate of being reduced to ashes, and so on.

Even the layout of the mansion was meticulously designed by her.

The purpose is to gradually build up pressure in the girls' daily lives, and then turn them into witches.
