The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Xiaoxue keeps getting stuck on her own thoughts and becoming increasingly worse, and she's making herself worse too. She'll break down sooner or later, or rather, she's already broken.

I really, really hated seeing Hoshino bleeding profusely at the end.

I hate it so much, I hate it so much that no matter how much I beg, Yuki won't reach out to Hoshino.

However, Emma Sakuraba knew that.

They must be wrong, they must be right.

They will have their own reasons, their own problems, and their own innocence.

She didn't want to dwell on who was right and who was wrong anymore; judging right and wrong would only make them hurt themselves more.

...I want them to reconcile.

But now, it's simply impossible to easily reach a settlement.

If we could still get together for a meal, holding hands...

Such beautiful dreams can only be had when one is asleep.

Emma Sakura knew she was dreaming.

But let her dream while she's asleep.

Don't dwell too much on sadness when you wake up.

Something needs to be done.

I want to say something to Xiaoxue.

Even though she had no idea what to say.

"..." Tsukishiro Yuki remained silent for a moment.

This silence led Nikaido Shiro to believe that she was a witch hiding evidence of her scheming.

"Heh." A cold laugh echoed in the empty movie theater.

Nikaido Hiro didn't say anything, just kept sneering.

Keep wearing that cold smile.

I want to laugh too.

Heh, heh, hehehehe.

"Consider the clothes a gift." Tsukishiro Yuki averted her gaze, ignoring Nikaido Hiro's cold laugh, and casually added, "Your phones are in your pockets too, so you can't contact the people in the mansion, but..."

"I will embed the live stream into my phone."

"Even when we're outside, we can always take out our phones to see who Hoshino has taken a liking to today."

"So even if you're worried about Hoshino's whereabouts, there's absolutely no need to think about coming back."

A smile appeared on Yuki's face.

"That's all I'll say. Everyone can do whatever they want outside..." At this point, Yuki Tsukishiro seemed to remember something and let out a soft "Ah!"

"But you can't do anything reckless."

"The nation will act before you even receive your pleas for help and rescue Hoshino from my grasp..."

"—Arrest you all again."

The soft voice suddenly turned cold the moment it softened, and Tsukishiro Yuki let out a cold laugh:

"Has anyone forgotten that they are actually a trainee witch who needs to be supervised and imprisoned for life?"

To put it bluntly, the group of people on the current list, these thirteen girls, are prisoners who are to be imprisoned here for life.

They may not have done anything wrong; they just happened to be entangled by the witch genes they themselves had spread, and just happened to gain magic.

Perhaps the one at fault is her, the culprit who spread the witch factor, or the authorities who arrested these girls on the grounds of endangering public safety and stability.

But what does this have to do with Tsukishiro Yuki?

She doesn't care about humanity, nor about the ruling body of humanity.

If it weren't for Hoshino, she would have started destroying humanity long ago.

But they do care.

These little girls don't care, after all, they've lived in this kind of environment since they were little.

The reason for bringing this up is to serve as a warning.

A stern warning.

She didn't need to do anything extra; on the contrary, she could simply use this incident, and the things that Hoshino had reminded her of, which led to the rejection of her reason for staying on the island, to give them a small warning.

This can save you a lot of trouble.

Tsukishiro Yuki isn't afraid of humans, but if they cause trouble together, things can get really complicated.

Although she was indeed going to release them all, she still needed to ensure their safety.

...If I knew they were dead.

Hoshino will use suicide to rewind time.

Absolutely.

So they cannot die, not one of them can die.

But how can we prevent them from seeking death and allow them to simply enjoy a free life?

Threat.

Rather than directly threatening them to kill them if they misbehave, it might be more effective to threaten them to bully Hoshino a little longer if they misbehave.

However, Yukishiro didn't want to threaten people like that.

So, after taking a slightly proactive step back, this is what she thought of.

That's it.

This is an objectively existing problem; it's not something she made up.

To ask those people for help, even if they actually believe what these girls say, even if they can actually find the island that has been covered by her big hand again, even if they are really willing to come and 'rescue' Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Their prospective identity as witches will also be the biggest obstacle.

Hiro and the others were already 'dead' people whose social identities had been erased.

Meruru is an unregistered resident without even a social identity.

If you go out and don't just hide away and live a quiet life, but instead try to find someone to help you, aren't you just courting death?

Yuki Tsukishiro is just warning about this.

Nikaido Hiro: "Heh."

He still sneered.

She didn't hear anything particularly wrong with it.

But that didn't stop her from continuing to sneer.

"What, aren't you going back?" Tsukishiro Yuki couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask her.

Nikaido Hiro turned his head, turned around, and sat down in his seat.

"If you want me to go back so badly... I'm not going back."

She's going to start contradicting the established formula.

She rejected everything that Tsukishiro Yuki encouraged.

She would do everything that Yukishiro had warned her to do.

Tsukishiro Yuki: "......"

After quietly watching Nikaido Hiro for a while, Tsukishiro Yuki looked away and said softly:

"That's true. If you go back, you might drown in some river again. If that triggers a death rewind, it would be too much trouble."

"However, you're the type who's always causing trouble for others."

Super annoying.

Nikaido Hiro: "...Huh?"

A provocation tactic?

You think I'd fall for such a simple trick?

"...Are you sure you can come back?" Before Nikaido Hiro could speak, Sawatari Coco, who had been clenching her fists repeatedly and had stopped cursing and kept her head down, finally raised her head.

She can still see.

The image of my grandfather, who lives alone, brought to me by the magic of clairvoyance.

So, there was this hope that I could actually go back to see my grandfather, even if it was just a possibility offered by this extremely wicked witch.

She would also want to try to believe.

“Of course.” Yuki Tsukishiro spread her hands. “I have no reason to lie.”

"If I just wanted to throw you out, I could do it right now. Why go through all this trouble and complicated methods?"

Is she mentally ill?

That's unnecessary.

So you must have ulterior motives.

Nikaido Hiro didn't say those words aloud.

She couldn't discern the thoughts behind Yuki's words, but she could see that Coco was moved.

Because she had watched the entire flashback in the movie theater last time, she was also very clear about Ze Du Ke Ke's background.

Origin, past, family background.

Hiro Nikaido had to admit that Coco Sawatari really needed this opportunity.

Regardless of whether there is any conspiracy behind it.
