The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

"Since Hoshino wants to marry me, and I am willing to marry Hoshino, the only things we need to discuss are when to get married, how to have the wedding, and who to invite to the wedding, right?"

Tsukishiro Yuki's hands were clasped together, her knuckles interlacing, her eyes sparkling.

"If we want to hire a master of ceremonies, we can ask Meruru. She looks a lot like a nun, and if she changes into her clothes, she should be able to host the ceremony very well."

“We can hold the wedding on the island, but if Hoshino wants it, I can also try to hold it in the city. That way, there should be a lot of people and it will be very lively.”

"Wedding dresses can be custom-made. Oh, right, Meruru also loves making clothes. You can ask Meruru to help prepare one. If it doesn't look good, you can ask her to alter it."

"Then Hoshino will hold my hand and we'll vow to be together forever and ever..."

Hehehe, hehehe...

Yuki Tsukishiro can already imagine a happy ending.

Letting Meruru be in charge of the wedding dress and the emcee is a fair deal for her.

As for Heero and Emma...

Actually, having Hero host would be fine, but it would be better to have Hero as the chef. That way, Hero can cook and Emma can eat.

She ate until she was stuffed.

Other women...

Let's not force a connection.

She was afraid that Hoshino would rekindle his old flame with them.

What if Hoshino disappeared into some unknown corner of the wedding venue on her wedding day, only to be taken over by them in turn...?

Absolutely not.

We can't give them that chance.

Isn't she afraid that Heero and Emma will cheat on her?

Hmph, she's worried about Meruru doing something reckless, but she's not worried about Hiro and Emma at all.

Hiro was the most useless. Even when the opportunity was so good before, all she did was hold hands and act cute.

Emma, needless to say, is just a stinky little dog who only knows how to eat. As long as you feed her, there won't be any problems.

So, my wedding—

"...Your imagination is richer than I thought."

Yuki Tsukishiro's thoughts were interrupted by Hoshino Utsunomiya's soft words.

"I did say to Shirley that if she hadn't died, I might have wanted to marry her."

Faced with the perfect wedding plan described by Tsukishiro Yuki, Utsunomiya Hoshino's reaction was calm. His tone was peaceful, and his expression was indifferent. He showed no sign of being happy with Tsukishiro Yuki.

Even just hearing that tone made Yuki's heart leap into her throat.

It fell down in the middle.

Because she knew that the "but" Hoshino's words implied was about to come.

"But that's in the past."

Ah, I knew it.

He will no longer do as I please.

“If she weren’t dead, I might have wanted to marry her.” Hoshino Utsunomiya changed the subject: “But she’s dead, isn’t she? If she’s dead, I’ll have to give up on that idea.”

But I—

"Even if I were to come back to life now, I would never be able to hold onto the thoughts I once had." Anticipating Yuki's words, Hoshino Utsunomiya interrupted.

Yes, he remembered. For now, he would treat the witch in front of him as Xue.

It was just in the conversation.

There will be no overly intimate gestures, and there will be no touching moments of reunion after a long separation.

Simply pretending as if she had really come to life, asking her questions that she couldn't understand, and getting answers that seemed plausible but were definitely not from her.

He'll mistake the witch for snow.

Even if the person in front of him really was Xue, he would give the same answer.

"The death of a person is a very shocking thing, especially seeing someone you like hanged in front of you. The sense of despair can really feel like everything has been shattered."

Even though he was looking at Tsukishiro Yuki, Hoshino Utsunomiya couldn't help but recall the image of her hanging.

Hanging from the knot, his body swayed and rotated slightly as gravity caused him to fall naturally. His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his eyes were devoid of any spirit.

...Actually, Yuki's eyes are usually quite calm and cold, and her face is usually pale and bloodless.

But it's probably because of the lighting, or perhaps the shadows, when you look up from below.

That image will stay with you for a long time.

This was the first and only time that Hoshino Utsunomiya witnessed someone die right before his eyes.

It's still the person I like.

"Not long ago, we were planning how to spend our days together. Not long ago, we were thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to propose or something."

"But when I turned around, pushed open the door, and looked up, I saw her dead right in front of me."

"No matter how much you yearn for the future, no matter how much you want to perfect that beautiful dream you're trying to depict, the moment you see that picture, you should know that it's impossible."

Everything was smashed.

It was a complete mess, not a single part was intact.

No matter how hard you try to pick up the scattered pieces and glue them back together, the cracks will remain forever, no matter how much more effort you put in.

It will still break.

“There’s a saying that memories don’t get forgotten, but…” Hoshino Utsunomiya paused for a moment, “The ever-increasing number of memories will dilute the memories that were once unforgettable.”

It's just a matter of constantly adding new clean water to the contaminated cup, diluting, diluting, and diluting again.

The thoughts that were there back then have faded very much over time.

To put it in simpler terms...

“I don’t want to think about it anymore,” he said.

Actually, there's nothing special about it; it couldn't be simpler to put it.

Previous thoughts are things of the past; people's thoughts naturally change over time.

With more experience, past ideas naturally become less reliable.

"...Ah..." Tsukishiro Yuki's lips parted slightly once more: "Ah..."

A soft, incoherent sound, tears welling up in her eyes.

The words were very calm, yet they gave her an extremely cold feeling.

So cold.

It seems she really did something wrong.

Is it that serious? Is it really that bad? Will it be that painful?

The feeling of despair and everything else was shattered.

If I were to break it myself...

but.

But Hoshino was clearly just very angry at the time.

If you can still get angry, it means you're still okay.

Isn't that what everyone's saying?

Moreover, back then, whenever Hoshino got angry, I would feel that it was because I was dead, because I couldn't kill him, that he was extremely angry.

Can't you show even a little bit that you care about me?

...Although, it seems that even if I really showed that I cared, I would have been mistaken by myself at the time for caring about a witch who could kill me.

Once a misunderstanding arises, it is very difficult to resolve.

But, but...

If only he would have been so worried about me, if only he would have held my dead body and cried, if only he hadn't said those things that would cause misunderstandings...

Me, me.

"The people I want to marry now are Hannah and Anan."

Yuki's emotions were shattered by the words added by Hoshino Utsunomiya.

She could completely understand what Hoshino Utsunomiya was saying; there was nothing difficult about his words.

But her brain got stuck at that moment.

It can't turn anymore.

Hannah, and Anan?

Who?

Is this my new name?

......oh.

It's that unwanted fake heiress and that shameless, lewd brat.

Haha.
