The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

—What does it mean when a witch uses hypnotic magic to get the host to reveal their purpose?

—What does it mean when a witch turns around and hangs herself in front of her host?

—What does it mean for a witch to repeatedly drag her host back in time?

What does it mean to...?

Oh, there's no need to question that.

This is something to be thankful for.

After a tumultuous journey, the witch and her host eventually regained their senses, sat down, talked things out, embraced, reconciled, and ate ○○.

Ok.

This is a good thing.

The only bad thing is...

...The system's secret was exposed.

It seems like they're about to be purged.

Um, is it too late to kneel down and beg for mercy at this point?

......

The process is what it is, and the system is what it is.

So, Miss Witch, are you happy?

"..." Yuki Tsukishiro said coldly, her face expressionless, "I am not happy."

Because of you, you idiot, I'm not happy at all.

What does it mean that you are actually listening and you actually know everything, but you don't say anything?

I'll beat you to death, you piece of trash!

The slight gratitude I felt for it that it brought to Hoshino Utsunomiya was completely suppressed.

Originally, Yuki was thinking that, one thing at a time, she should be grateful for bringing Hoshino over.

But now.

Seriously, if you're going to be a dating coach, just give me the coaching!

It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you! It's all because of you!

It's like having the illusion that you can pin all the mistakes you don't really want to admit on this thing.

It's not an illusion; it's its fault!

Humph.

only......

Although she doesn't quite understand what a system is, she does understand how a system exists.

It has no physical form.

Even if it is necessary to punish it, even if it is necessary to find a way to discipline it.

There is no way to select the target.

If you just scold it, it might not realize its mistake; if you try to punish it, you won't get the desired result.

If you really want it to suffer...

There is a way.

Let it have it first, then take it away.

Whether it's physical health, emotional well-being, or memories, it doesn't matter.

Anything that causes immense pain upon loss is enough to serve as punishment after being lost once or twice.

...Just like her.

Yuki Tsukishiro secretly thought this.

Yes, that's right, it's a very painful thing.

So, in the time since my suicide, I have lost Hoshino and been forced to watch her grow distant from me, call me a witch, and date other women. It has been very painful!

Please consider this as punishment already done to me.

If only this would make things go smoothly.

Unfortunately, it's probably not possible.

Yuki Tsukishiro was aware of this, so she didn't bring it up.

Let's get back to the system.

What is known is...

Hoshino's arrival was orchestrated by the system.

Hoshino's approach was orchestrated by the system.

Hoshino wanted to die, and it was the system that did it.

The system's purpose is to make oneself happy.

So how exactly can we deal with this incorporeal, unselectable scoundrel?

Tsukishiro Yuki couldn't think of anything right away, so she could only keep asking for more details.

"Since you know that Hoshino was hypnotized into saying those words, and since you know that my hanging wasn't actually a sign of death, why have you been pretending to be dead?"

I can't understand it.

I can't get it...

[After that, didn't the witch seem to have figured things out and take the initiative to hug the master and bury her face in her mouth, sucking wildly?!]

[Besides, isn't a dead person still dead? If the witch can be resurrected so easily, why don't the other great witches resurrect themselves...?]

Although it is in a sense a creation of the witches, the system has not actually had any communication with the great witches and has almost no knowledge of them.

At first, it genuinely believed that Yukikoro was dead.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have changed its tune later and said that even the preparatory witch could be conquered.

Oh, no, it's talking about a witch-turned-preparatory witch.

...Actually, it refers to Meruru.

Well, although the last great witch hanged herself, Meruru... can also be considered the last witch left behind by the witch clan.

If Meruru can find happiness!

The adjective 'a witch-turned-preparatory witch' is quite clear, isn't it?

The host launched a fierce attack on Miss Meruru, and the atmosphere quickly heated up, advancing triumphantly!

The host has issued a declaration of wanting to die!

The host is dead!

Time has turned back!

huh?

Dead, not dead, dead, not dead.

It seems we should send the host back, but it seems there's no way to send the host back.

It's not a matter of will.

Instead, it seems that...

This island.

It's locked.

So it's actually the witch's fault!

Tsukishiro Yuki: "Huh?"

If you really let Hoshino leave, what would happen?

"Are you two just passing the buck?" Hoshino Utsunomiya sighed. "Stop worrying about this, I'm not curious."

"At this point, there's really no need to go back. Although I'd love to go back and let everyone know I'm safe, it's obviously impossible to take everyone with me."

It's fine to stay here.

Although Yuki and Meruru don't seem to have any particularly important relationships to maintain here, and Hannah doesn't have any relationships either, everyone else still has parents, grandfathers, and so on.

He wanted them to abandon everything and run off to another world with him.

No need.

Hoshino Utsunomiya did not intend to make things difficult for them.

“What I was thinking about was…” Hoshino Utsunomiya paused slightly, “How did you cast that spell?”

He was actually curious about this kind of thing.

If it's a system, it doesn't really need to think.

But the system isn't actually a system, which is a bit intriguing.

[Hmm? Just transfer specific witch genes, right? That's what witches always do, isn't it?]

"Where did you get your magic from?"

Tsukishiro Yuki frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, with the Great Witch dead, all the magic in the world should belong to her and originate from her.

By the time she met Hoshino, her magic was almost completely gone.

But if it weren't for stealing magic from other aspiring witches...

[Found, picked up]
