The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Utsunomiya Hoshino is actually a surprisingly persistent person.

He can agree to many things very gently, but there are some things he will not budge on.

At least for this immediate matter, he will definitely do it.

And coincidentally, the only one who could stop him from doing it, Tsukishiro Yuki, couldn't bring herself to refuse.

The matter is over.

Hoshino Utsunomiya returned to the island.

With the help of Tachibana Sherry and Sakura Emma... although Tachibana Sherry alone was actually enough, Sakura Emma cleverly took the initiative to grab the other arm.

With the help of the two, the group descended underground once again.

What's stored here are all the remains frozen from the past to the present.

This includes Hannah's sister and Coco's family.

thaw.

take away.

The witch factors will be retrieved in batches.

Restore human form.

Hannah Tono hugged her bewildered younger sister.

The other prospective witches, having regained their human forms, were sent to another island.

They don't have to live on the island anymore if they want to return to society.

The omnipotent witch will alter the records and give them a suitable new identity.

Sawatari Coco's family...

Since we don't intend for them to know about witches, we won't unfreeze them yet.

It's okay since Hannah's sister is too young, but one can imagine how many schemes adults would have if they knew about witches.

I don't intend to take that risk.

Therefore, the witch will wait for Coco to return home, try to change the outcome of the murder case to a coma for many years, create hospital records, preserve identity information, and then unfreeze and restore them.

One problem after another arises.

Even if you return home, even if you can alter your identity information, how can you explain where you went during your disappearance, and how can you openly introduce the person you love to your parents...?

Oh, and schools too.

They probably missed the start of the school year.

If you enroll as a transfer student, both the environment and interpersonal relationships will be somewhat troublesome.

There are still many remnants of magic left on this island from when the witches were causing trouble, and investigations into this area are necessary.

And also...

The collaboration between Meluru on Ice and those above in dealing with the prospective witch is quite troublesome.

Even if you can hypnotize people to forget about it with a wave of your hand, the annual tests, the people you arrest, and the cleanup work such as erasing the identity information of the arrested prospective witches are all quite troublesome.

What's even more magical is that, despite all the flaws of this procedure, it does have one thing in common.

A witch, even a witch in the making, will have an impact on the surroundings and create turmoil simply by wielding magic.

It would be best to take back the magic, or at least find a way to make the witch's existence public.

"Witch" doesn't sound good; if it were called "magical girl," it would probably be much more widely accepted.

Although it doesn't transform, there are no monsters or evil organizations.

And everyone's magic is actually a bit... subtle.

If she doesn't become a witch, her strength is actually limited.

It's a situation that's somewhat dangerous, yet doesn't seem so dangerous.

Let's recycle it.

However, the swan snowflake had spent five hundred years spreading the witch's essence, and suddenly she had to take back all the witch's essence she had spread...

She was a little reluctant.

Anyway, the witch factor isn't harmful, so I'll just keep it for now.

The person who gets busiest is actually Meruru Ice Ride.

Because she is illiterate.

There is much, much more homework to catch up on than I imagined.

Not want to study? Fine, then you can stay in the mansion.

Just thinking about how everyone else can be all lovey-dovey with Hoshino at school while she's stuck in the mansion...

I still need to learn.

However, studying can actually be put aside for now; that's why she's described as the busiest person.

Because she needs to apologize.

She apologizes to the girls who were resurrected in the present world as remains, for the conflicts she stirred up behind the scenes over the years.

She even had to try to teach them how to live in modern society.

Forehead......

However, she may need to learn how to live in society first.

So it seems like we still need to learn first.

Actually, Hoshino Utsunomiya wanted him to do this, but the girls unanimously and strongly rejected it.

After all, what he promised was to 'share' Meruru's sins, not to completely take on her responsibility.

If Meruru doesn't need to do anything, wouldn't that mean she has no intention of making amends for her mistakes?

Next up are Sawatari Coco and Tono Hanna.

Family members lost and found again; a family regained.

The girls need to run back and forth for their families. Although Yuki Tsukishiro can indeed solve many problems for everyone with her all-powerful magic, ultimately they still need to do something themselves.

Hasumi Ryoya needs to go back to pick up her mother, who is now recovering, and will need to take care of her and help her do some rehabilitation exercises to rebuild her body after being bedridden for so long.

Noah Kinosaki will systematically study painting as an art student.

Arisa Fujito wants to apologize to her parents, even though she is destined to be forgiven.

As for the others...

Those with parents: Emma Sakuraba, Hiro Nikaido, Sherry Tachibana, Anan Natsume, Nanoha Kurobe and her sister, Miria Saeki, and Mag Hosho.

They all need to go back and communicate with their parents about the situation.

Everyone actually has their own things to do.

but.

Actually, everyone would prefer to put all those things aside for now.

They have people who are of higher priority, more important to them, and more important to them.

After about two years of working together, the already somewhat lukewarm relationship needed to be repaired and mended.

He needs to be loved by everyone.

He deserves to be loved by everyone.

only......

There are too many people!

Thirteen people couldn't even share every part of his body equally; making excessive demands on him was essentially a form of pressure on him.

He needs to relax a bit and take it slow.

Therefore, the competition that should have started was forcibly suppressed. After some discussion, the conclusion was that everyone should finish what they needed to do and get their lives back on track. Whoever finished their own business first would be the first to contact Hoshino.

The only problem is that while this makes things a bit fairer to some extent, everyone's starting line isn't equal. But at least it's a reasonable starting method that everyone can accept.

However, this would leave Hoshino Utsunomiya seemingly all alone.

not good.

Absolutely not.

Everyone wants to be the first, everyone wants to be number one.

But no one wants the stalemate to make the atmosphere uncomfortable.

Then... let Hoshino choose?

Whatever Hoshino decides, it doesn't matter who it is...

...He would definitely want to choose Yuki Tsukishiro.

He wouldn't choose Yuki Tsukishiro, but he would want to choose Yuki Tsukishiro.

I hate the white moonlight.

Then everyone will have to start looking for reasons.

Hannah Tono: "Instead of sending my sister to school early, I'd rather raise her to adulthood and marry her off to Hoshino. So I don't need to leave this island; I can raise my sister with Hoshino."

The younger sister who hasn't grown up yet, whose age is stuck in the past due to being turned into a corpse.

On the contrary, at this time, they can be raised like children.

Get a taste of parenting life in advance!

Sawatari Coco: "Hoshino promised me that he would go out with me to see my grandfather, and I want to proudly tell my grandfather that this is the person I like."

"Your parents' words... can wait a while!"

Because of the long time that had passed, Coco's feelings for her parents weren't as deep as she had imagined.
