The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

He couldn't describe the stunning moment he had just witnessed in words, nor could he possibly express the fleeting feeling of being moved.

Therefore, in this case, appropriate praise is already the most suitable.

"Thank you."

Yuki Tsukishiro accepted the praise readily, her smile growing even wider.

A response is not limited to directly stated words.

Facial expressions, actions, demeanor, tone of voice.

Every detail conveys emotion.

This can be seen from the fact that even after she canceled the release of the gaze-guiding magic, Hoshino Utsunomiya still did not look away.

She succeeded.

The first glance they exchange at the meeting place must, of course, be made using magic.

You must not look away.

Just look at me, that's all you need to do.

Is there any reason not to admire such a beautiful witch?

Ha ha.

"So, what's the plan for today?" No longer standing in front of Hoshino Utsunomiya, Yuki Tsukishiro naturally turned around and leaned against him.

It wasn't too excessive; we maintained a certain distance, but with the slightest movement, I could feel the faint friction of the sleeve against my clothes.

“No plans.” Hoshino Utsunomiya repeated what he had read in the text message: “Let’s just get out first.”

He thought he would have some clues by the time he got out, but his mind is still completely blank.

Whenever I try to think about something, the image of a witch comes to mind.

"But I'm already out, you know?" Tsukishiro Yuki tilted her head and gently clasped her hands together. "In that case..."

"Let's go to your place."

Declaring that you have no plans is itself a form of relinquishing control.

Now that Hoshino Utsunomiya has relinquished control over the upcoming actions, Yuki Tsukishiro will naturally move in the direction she desires.

first step.

Go visit his house.

A dwelling itself reflects the inclinations of its inhabitants. More importantly, a 'home' is a private and intimate place where certain expressions, demeanors, and reactions can only be seen at home.

This is exactly what Yuki Tsukishiro wanted to see.

Hoshino in loungewear!

As for the minor issue of why someone dressed so elegantly would go shopping instead of visiting another person's house, that's not very important.

"...There's nothing to see there."

"You already knew where my house was?"

Hoshino Utsunomiya's resistant attitude was suppressed by this rhetorical question.

"If it's a friend, they'd know each other's address, right?"

The additional words helped Hoshino Utsunomiya swallow her last words of refusal.

The fact that they know each other's addresses is itself a sign that their friendship is progressing!

That's what the system says.

Since the system has said so, Hoshino Utsunomiya felt that there must be no problem.

Although his home wasn't particularly interesting, this incident could signify that the friendship had progressed further.

That is success.

Anyway, he couldn't think of anywhere to go.

......

Not being rejected, Yuki Tsukishiro was clearly in a good mood, but she didn't push her luck by grabbing Hoshino Utsunomiya's hand.

After all, holding hands doesn't seem like a normal friendship.

In the past two days, Yukishiro has also gradually been discovered.

When the relationship naturally turned into friendship, Hoshino Utsunomiya's attitude and way of getting along underwent a very awkward change.

He doesn't seem to have a clear understanding of what constitutes a normal friendship.

That's why, if he could accept and acknowledge that "this is what friends should do," he would seem to agree half-heartedly, just like he is now.

It's really fun.

Her palms, wrapped in black lace gloves, felt slightly itchy. Following behind Utsunomiya Hoshino, Tsukishiro Yuki secretly glanced at Utsunomiya Hoshino's hand that was close to her side, and unconsciously began to rub her own palms together.

I kind of want to hold hands with her.

...I need to find a suitable excuse.

She quickly closed the distance a few steps, and as if engaging in casual conversation, the witch spoke softly:

"Speaking of which, have you noticed something?"

"...?"

"Names," Yuki said. "We've been friends for so long, but it seems like we've never called each other by name, have we?"

"...The rooftop incident doesn't count."

That was the first and only time that Hoshino Utsunomiya called her name.

Hoshino Utsunomiya pondered for a while, searching through his memories.

He soon discovered it.

It really is!

"Chushiro?" He thought for a moment and casually called out the witch's surname.

Since the two already knew each other's names, there was no need for them to reintroduce themselves, even though they had never called each other by name.

"Yes, I'm here." Tsukishiro Yuki responded first, then shook her head: "However, something's not right."

“We are friends, and since we are friends, we should call each other by our first names, not our last names.”

"I'll call you Hoshino, and you should call me Yuki."

she says.

Chapter 41 She can still say thank you

"......it is good."

Hoshino Utsunomiya quickly went through the thought process in his mind and felt there was no problem.

Normally, friends should address each other as father and son, or give each other a special nickname.

However, it's unlikely he and Yuki Tsukishiro will naturally develop a father-daughter relationship, as for nicknames and such...

The most suitable nickname he could think of was "Miss Witch".

Unfortunately, "Miss Witch" is both the most suitable and the least suitable nickname.

Exposing the secret of a non-human identity does not always lead to death.

It could also be imprisonment.

So, just call them by name.

Calling someone by their name is indeed a good option.

Calling someone by their first name is also a sign of progress in the friendship!

Of course, although I agreed and said yes.

However, Hoshino Utsunomiya did not immediately follow Yukishiro's lead and call her by name.

Instead, he kept walking forward.

Tsukishiro Yuki: "...?"

Hmph, if you don't shout, I will.

"Hoshino." Yuki Tsukishiro moved closer to him, calling out, "Hoshino, Hoshino, Hoshino, Hoshino, Hoshino—"

The girl kept repeating his name over and over again.

At the same time, I carefully observed his reaction.

But soon, the corners of Yuki's mouth, which had been curled up, fell down again.

Hmm... what's going on? There's no change in emotion at all!

They seemed so happy when I called Emma and Heero's names! They were even a little shy!

Why is there no reaction at all when it comes to you?

Really.

boring!!!

"--Snow."

Just as Yuki's cheeks began to swell and she closed her mouth, the resentment in her heart began to fester.

Completely sudden, the girl was caught completely off guard.

He suddenly stopped and called out her name.

Tsukishiro Yuki: "—?!!"

Yukishiro shuddered.
