The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

She's the only one who goes down to mock people, the only one who goes down to kick people's chairs.

No one else is allowed to come close and slap her.

If I were to recall all the memories from this round, what could possibly have come close to me?

There's only one.

'Warden'

That dead owl had approached him once at the very beginning.

But at that time, the button was still in my hand!

It had absolutely no chance of carrying it away.

And from the time I threw the button back until today, it has been less than 24 hours.

No one passed by.

can.

Once it's lost, it's lost.

She has no way to go back.

that--

Yuki Tsukishiro turned her head in confusion, looking at the screen.

But it was from Hoshino Utsunomiya's hand that he saw that familiar button.

......ha?

Lost in incomprehensible thoughts.

Hoshino Utsunomiya said goodbye to the girl.

The button was pressed.

Time, as Tsukiyoshi had wished, turned back.

My thoughts were interrupted, but then resumed. The empty, crowded movie theater disappeared, replaced by a familiar Western-style mansion.

Standing before him, who should have been unconscious, in this anchored timeline of rewind, he should not have woken up yet, he should have remained unconscious.

He opened his eyes.

Yuki Tsukishiro was stunned.

But he didn't.

"Should I say it's been a long time, Miss Witch?"

This was the first greeting he uttered when he woke up and saw himself.

Chapter 211 is a bit disrespectful.

Press the back button.

Let time turn back at this moment.

My thoughts paused for a moment, then continued.

"..."

How many times has this happened?

Hoshino Utsunomiya would always subconsciously ask such questions, and then get the answers.

Oh, the sixth time I've rewound time, and the seventh time I've woken up here.

Could this be considered the last time?

With that thought in mind, he got out of bed.

Logically speaking, now that everyone is someone she likes, the witch should have captured them all.

After all, the witch seemed to be prepared for each time she retraced her steps.

It's not just about changing the warden and guards' positions, or removing certain individuals, or arranging some rules in advance and hiding them among the girls.

Actually, it seems like I'm quite busy.

No matter how busy I am, I will finish everything before he wakes up.

Perhaps it was the magic at work.

He usually wakes up on the day the broadcast is scheduled to start.

Sometimes I wake up a little earlier, sometimes just at the right time, and sometimes I wake up in the living room.

By then, the witch had either already hidden herself away or had already dressed up in someone else's clothes.

This time will probably be no exception.

just.

After thinking it over carefully, Hoshino Utsunomiya could still recall the witch's expression when she said those words.

"—If you're so capable, then fall in love with all of them!"

The rewind of time, the resounding words, the hysterical, furious, and reckless feeling.

He knew it was just said in anger.

He did what he said in anger.

The witch neither stopped him nor ordered him to halt; she simply continued rewinding time on her own, and then took away the girl he had fallen for.

Hoshino Utsunomiya then tacitly accepted that the witch intended to do this.

At least, doing so would give her a reason, an excuse, and an explanation.

...although he still couldn't understand.

But who can blame them when the witch likes them?

just.

Having fallen in love with everyone, Hoshino Utsunomiya had no idea what to do next.

Because essentially, this is a romance that begins with the intention of sending everyone away through the witch's hands.

perhaps.

To say whether there was an element of deliberately trying to provoke the witch, there probably was.

Unfortunately, the witch never seemed to get angry.

Hoshino Utsunomiya could only assume that the witch simply liked to act this way.

He finally won everyone's heart, just as the witch had wished.

But the witch's return to the past has yet to come.

What arrived instead was a backtrack button stolen by the system.

Well, what the system would say is...

There's still a bit of a riddle in it, but you can roughly understand what it's trying to express.

The witch was watching.

It offered an apology.

He can go back in time.

Rewind to the time chosen by the witch, repeatedly, multiple times, an unlimited number of times.

The girl may have suffered mental torment even though nothing happened to her.

However, all of these, and much more.

He can ask the witch.

The unspoken message was that this time travel meant he could see the witch again.

If everyone else has been taken away, what will remain of this prison, this isolated island?

...So it's just him and the witch.

Hoshino Utsunomiya had thought about what he should say and what he should ask if he were to see the witch again.

Like I joked with Sherry Tachibana, should I call her Aunt Witch?

Ask her if she has any relationship with Yuki Tsukishiro, if she fell in love with her at first sight or what, what she likes about her, and if she can change it.

If you actively approach someone and ask them, "If you have a problem with me, then kill me a couple more times"—oh, no, you can't intentionally seek death.

He had already promised to cherish his life.

To be honest, he did ask her what the witch wanted from him back then.

The answer I got when I asked that question...

It is love.

A witch who longs for love, is starved of love, yet falls in love with him at first sight.

He refused.

The reason is that he doesn't believe a relationship where the two people can't understand each other can last.

Ok.

If you don't want to be with the other person forever, you shouldn't continue dating in the first place.

Each time he falls for another girl, it's usually when he believes he can understand her and likes the things he understands.

If you can't understand how the other person is thinking...

The only scenario that will happen is that while you're in a relationship, your partner suddenly hangs themselves for no apparent reason.

Hoshino Utsunomiya did not want to repeat the same mistake.

Therefore, he rejected the witch.

So the witch gave up and did whatever she wanted.
