The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Under those words, the witch hurriedly retraced her steps.

The witch who disappeared from the movie theater after hearing those words.

Where will it appear...?

Can be imagined.

Suddenly turning around, Nikaido Hiro looked at the screen that had begun to glow.

then.

As expected, I saw Utsunomiya Hoshi, and...

Moonlit Snow.

She left the field.

Because of Hoshino's words that he once wanted to marry her, and because of Hoshino's words that he should forget her.

The capricious, willful, and fickle witch throws everyone into the movie theater.

He personally took part in the event.

He didn't put on anyone's clothes, but appeared as someone who, in Hoshino's eyes, should have been dead.

Make a grand entrance.

When Hoshino sees this woman again, what will his reaction be, and what kind of expression will he use to treat her?

Nikaido Hiro knew the answer.

A pause in breathing, a stunned expression.

He probably never imagined that this face would one day appear before his eyes again.

However, he still seemed somewhat engrossed in watching.

...There might be a little bit of jealousy.

But at the same time, they were excited because they seemed to be able to foresee what was to come.

For a moment, Nikaido Hiro even forgot that he should perhaps explain the current situation to the girls who had just entered, now that the witch was not around.

Fortunately, an owl perched on the guard's shoulder and moved to the front.

[Ahem, this is... uh, the warden!]

Anyway, that's it, I've turned on the live stream for Miss Witch!

Everyone can enjoy watching! Feel free to browse!

That's it!

...Actually, it didn't explain anything.

However, compared to the owl that suddenly appeared, everyone's attention was obviously drawn to Utsunomiya Hoshino and the witch on the screen.

His expression, his reaction.

Even a girl who is unaware of the witch's identity...

They also guessed the answer.

"...Is she the witch that Hoshino once fell in love with?" Hosho Mag narrowed his eyes slightly. "He really liked the wrong person."

She sighed as she thought about how Hoshino had confidently asserted that the two witches couldn't be the same person.

Honestly, you think too highly of witches.

How good can a witch be who would use suicide to torment you?

Natsume Anan bit her lower lip slightly.

Will it look similar?

If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for something else for a moment.

But it doesn't actually look like that.

She is different from the witch in front of her.

Hoshino wouldn't do something like falling in love with someone just because they're similar to her.

So she doesn't need to worry.

The only thing she needs to worry about is whether the witch will hurt Hoshino again.

...But after thinking about it, she decided to think about when she could hold Hoshino in her arms again.

Although the time apart was very short, she wanted a hug.

"Eh..." Hasumi Ryoya could only utter a sound of surprise.

Arisa Wisteria bit her lower lip slightly and remained silent.

As expected, now that Hoshino has fallen in love with everyone, he's about to face the witch.

At times like these, she still couldn't help but think about it.

Is it that Hoshino doesn't want to fall in love with me? Is it that Hoshino only spends time with Mag and Anan in the mansion...?

Wouldn't it be more enjoyable?

Night after night of revelry.

"This is......"

While everyone was focused on the screen, Saeki Miria stood up, checked her surroundings, and glanced around.

But quite unexpectedly, someone with incredibly sharp eyes spotted it on the floor in the back row...

Two mobile phones.

Logically, they shouldn't be here after backtracking.

However, since the cinema is automatically built during the rollback, and the construction of the cinema is not simply a reconstruction based on fixed blueprints, but a 'reconstruction' that replicates the state of the cinema before the last rollback.

Cell phones that shouldn't have been here were also brought in along by accident.

So, Saeki Miria went to the back row and picked up her own phone, along with another phone whose owner was unknown.

No password.

but......

—It belongs to Hoshino.

It wasn't because I went in and scrolled through the chat history that I recognized who the phone's owner was, but because after pressing the power button and swiping to unlock the phone, I entered the interface that was previously displayed when the screen was off.

You can see your chat history with yourself at a glance.

Someone may have used this phone to look through this record, or perhaps Hoshino was actually trying to talk to herself when she used this phone.

...Actually, the latter is not possible, but she is indeed willing to think that way.

He gripped his phone tightly, suppressing the urge to pry into Hoshino Utsunomiya's personal privacy.

Saeki Miria finally looked up at the live stream.

As for the phone and chat history... I'll ask Hoshino if I can see them later.

She didn't intend to peek without permission.

Even though she knew the witch must have secretly peeked at her.

Everyone had their own reactions, but Tachibana Sherry, who should have been the most active, was surprisingly sitting there quietly, watching silently.

elegant.

'Bon Voyage'

The final farewell before the retrospective was spoken by her.

Although it's customary for a wife to say goodbye to her husband before he leaves, it's okay to worry a little more.

but......

Well, things will go smoothly.

she thinks.

......

Amidst her jumbled thoughts and the swirling emotions of the girl, Kurobe Nanoha took a deep breath.

She saw her sister.

As expected, the older sister, who was the guard, was the one the witch had hidden away.

Is there a way to solve this? Is it possible to restore it? Can Hoshino get the solution from the witch?

No, don't think about that too much.

Rather than expecting Hoshino to think of nothing and act only for himself, it's better to care about his feelings first.

He faces his long-lost lover and the witch who has tormented him for days.

Hoshino Utsunomiya's choice.

He took a deep breath and questioned the witch.

"They actually used a dead person's face."

"I really think you're being a bit disrespectful."

"—Pfft."

I couldn't resist.

Someone laughed.

With the witch gone, only thirteen girls and a guard remained in the movie theater.

There was also an owl.

Originally, because of the witch's nasty attitude, the girls actually tacitly suppressed their reactions, at least not letting the witch see too clearly, so as not to anger the witch because of such things.

At least Nikaido Hiro understood that if you anger the witches and push them too far, it might not be the witches who get hurt.
