The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Hoshino Utsunomiya watched as Hannah's expression shifted from one of satisfaction, anticipation of the future after returning from practice, to one of extreme fear.

She finally noticed her sister's high fever and realized she had returned too late.

She rushed to the hospital, having forgotten to even bring her wallet, only to find her younger sister, suffering from a persistent high fever, on the verge of death.

at this time.

In fact, Hoshino Utsunomiya only needs to do very simple things.

'cure'

Among the many types of magic, Meruru's healing spell is one of the more convenient spells.

Very useful.

Unconscious? Use healing magic!

Psychological trauma? Healing magic!

The witch-like transformation is intensifying? Use healing magic!

A persistent high fever? Let's use healing magic!

It really feels like an essential item for every home.

However, while the cure was complete and the high fever and complications of Tono's sister could be easily treated, a little trick was still needed to make Hannah believe that her sister had passed away.

Fortunately, Hannah was rather naive, lacked experience, and was poor.

Although I am very sad and blame myself, and I am extremely regretful.

But she neither needed nor could she hold a funeral for her sister, nor could she force her sister's 'body' to stay by her side.

With just a little perfunctory talk, Hoshino Utsunomiya could take her sister away.

First, witch factors are injected, then the witch transformation process is accelerated, causing Hannah's sister and Coco's family to all turn into wrecked remains.

Then, they were stuffed into the freezer and frozen for several years without the people even realizing it.

Final words...

That was Leia's seriously ill mother.

When Hoshino Utsunomiya concealed himself and entered the ward, he saw the patient lying on the bed and young Rhea at the head of the bed.

The scattered gaze seemed to begin to turn back.

Leia was still making cute promises, hoping to get her mother's attention.

Hoshino Utsunomiya met those murky eyes.

...He seemed to realize it.

What the empty gaze sees and feels are actually people who shouldn't exist here.

There's no need to speak, no need to communicate; perhaps she's not even looking at me.

Just do what you're supposed to do.

She will continue to lie in her hospital bed until the day when everything is over and she regains her health.

What Hoshino Utsunomiya wanted to do was leave behind a healing, but not a complete, healing magic.

Baosheng Mag's family remains grieving.

The violence of punching and kicking, coupled with words of love, is indeed unbearable to watch.

He secretly healed Hosho Mag's body, making her mistakenly believe that her body was young and had strong regenerative abilities, so that no scars would be left. In the end, Utsunomiya Hoshino couldn't help himself.

She gave her stepfather a little 'curse'.

As for what the effects of the curse will be...

Well, any effect is fine, right?

Anyway, I won't kill him.

It's just that they deserve to be punished.

After doing all this, Hoshino Utsunomiya returned to the island.

He will simply repeat what he is supposed to do.

Repeatedly starting and stopping the device awakens consciousness.

When awake, do the cleanup work; when asleep, let the wrecked body wander around instinctively.

Until Honoka Kurobe was judged by the witch in the appearance of Nanoka Kurobe and turned into fragments.

Hoshino Utsunomiya knew it was time to end it.

Actually, five hundred years isn't as long as you might imagine.

"Commander, it's time to go," he said.

【...】

It's time to go...

The system's voice was noticeably slow and stiff.

A distinct sense of disorientation emanated from its voice.

Well...

It has indeed come to this.

After all, it's a punishment.

The initial system was still noisy, filled with the novelty of the past and the curiosity about Meruru from hundreds of years ago, chattering and making a racket.

Even when Hoshino Utsunomiya was in a dormant state as a wrecked corpse, wandering aimlessly, the system's voice seemed to never stop.

Talking to himself.

But it still took too long.

Although the surrounding environment may change slightly, and although the prospective witches will be constantly rotated.

Although it is quite different from a button that, once pressed, will leave you in a completely blank space for five hundred years.

But the long period of time yielded no response, and although there were changes, the perspective remained limited.

It is indeed a great devastation to one's spirit.

The only thing that could ease his mind was the ten or so days each year when Hoshino Utsunomiya would wake up to take charge of the aftermath and rescue people.

It can talk to the host.

It seems like a lot, but you have to understand that not everyone commits crimes at a rate of one death per day during every witch trial.

The system was created because of the witches' wishes.

They will have some knowledge of witches and understand some things related to witches.

However, they never grew up.

There is no infancy, no growth period, and no maturity period.

They can be noisy, timid, curious, and hesitant.

He looks like a child, but he isn't a child.

No pity is needed.

It's just that without a mature worldview and a well-developed mindset, it becomes even harder to bear the feeling of loneliness.

The goodwill and guilt that she already felt towards Hoshino Utsunomiya would gradually transform into a considerable sense of dependence.

However, this feeling can only be satisfied for a very short time each year.

Then... what if we pretend someone is dying and repeatedly wake up Hoshino Utsunomiya...?

They will be punished.

His words will be blocked, he will not be heard, and he will be deliberately ignored.

Cold violence.

Even the system can't tolerate passive-aggressive behavior.

That is why it can more accurately and without error awaken Hoshino Utsunomiya at the right time.

It's just that a long period of time can indeed have a lot of impact.

Aside from the system's growing dependence on him, what he was more concerned about was that his self-talk was gradually turning into incoherent ramblings, and the system's mental and cognitive abilities seemed to be sluggish to the point of affecting its normal work.

But the things that need to be done cannot be affected.

But what if you can't keep up mentally?

The answer is quite simple.

Don't pay too much attention to unnecessary and messy information, don't respond to meaningless instructions, and stop proactively saying things that will not get a response.

Is it better to be mechanized or to be systematized?

It did gradually come to understand what a qualified system should look like.

......

Before the time travel, when he first needed to return to his original world, Hoshino Utsunomiya had already met his parents.

I told my parents that I had someone I liked.

They relinquished their inheritance rights to the family property and asked them to open a new account.

Utsunomiya Hoshino is now beginning to atone for Meruru's sins and help Coco Hannah Sherry redeem her regrets.

Now that everything has ended, it is time to return to the original world.

He no longer needs to see his parents again.

...After all, he is still just a wrecked body.

Going to see my parents in this condition would only cause them shock.

There are no witches over there, and he didn't want to become the basis for unfounded rumors that spread around.
