The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Emma Sakura has very low expectations of her friends.

As long as you don't hate me, as long as you're willing to have a meal with me, as long as you say you want to be my friend, as long as you're willing to be my friend.

Then she will happily become your friend.

—Unless you don't want her anymore.

Like the witch over there.

Chapter 54 Utsunomiya Hoshino's Heavy Dependence

Yuki Tsukishiro doesn't know what happiness feels like.

For her, what she should have, what she should have, what should only exist in her heart, is only one emotion.

Hatred of humanity.

Yes, I hate humans.

I hate this evil race, I loathe this race full of sin, I wish they would all die in the next second.

To exterminate humanity, one must find a way to destroy humanity, and recite curses against humanity every day.

One of the special skills that I couldn't say out loud at Hoshino Utsunomiya's house was 'reciting curses'.

Yuki Tsukishiro is very good at reciting curses because she has always been reciting such things in the past.

I curse you, I curse you, I curse your entire clan to die out.

But recently, recently, recently I don't know why...

She seemed to have forgotten how to curse.

The only words remaining in my mind were "go die, go die," a low-aggressive phrase that sounded like a coquettish plea. I wanted to curse it out, but the words just stuck in my throat and wouldn't come out.

"..."

Suddenly, I came to my senses, and it seemed that things had already turned out this way.

When did the changes begin?

Searching through long memories, flipping through long recollections, Yuki Tsukishiro slowly began from the very beginning, glancing downwards at a past filled with the constant recitation of curses, the etched hatred, and the spreading of witch genes...

And then we arrived at the present.

Did it begin when I met Emma?

No, no. While I do like Emma's smile and think it might be the only kindness and purity that humanity possesses, it's still too much to say that I would let go of my hatred because of Emma.

I simply handed over the 'Witch Slayer' to her; I merely spread the witch genes containing the 'Witch Slayer' into her.

Isn't that a phrase we often say?

Holding a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises spontaneously.

If Emma, ​​such a kind and good child, still chose to kill humans without hesitation after gaining the power to kill all of humanity, then it undoubtedly proves that the human race has an indelible original sin. Even the kindest and purest child cannot resist the malice that will reveal the ugliness in their heart the moment they grasp the knife.

Similarly, this also proves that Emma is not as kind and pure as she appears on the surface.

If we say that Emma didn't choose to take action in the end, and truly upheld kindness and purity until the very end of her life...

Now that the last kind and innocent child has died, what is the point of human existence?

Therefore, even after meeting Emma, ​​Yukishiro still did not let go of her hatred for humanity, nor did she forget how to curse them.

So, did it start from when he became friends with Hero?

Hero was so upright, so right, and so warm.

She is a rare species among humankind, one who consistently adheres to her own path and walks the road of justice.

There was not a single lie in his words, and everything he did and said was correct.

Seeing how right she was, did I, who couldn't help but feel warm inside, let go of my hatred for humanity?

If only it were that simple.

Hero's weight was ultimately too light, too light.

The pen handed to me embodies justice, a gesture of protection.

It can touch the heart, but it can't truly change anything.

Not to mention, Hiro then went abroad to study.

It had been a long time since she had seen Hero, and Hero's appearance had become so blurry in Yuki's mind.

All I seem to remember is her long black hair, her crimson eyes, and the peaceful, serene aura she exuded when she smiled with her eyebrows curved, like a Yamato Nadeshiko.

Set aside the figures that have become blurred, set aside the figures whose relationships have gradually faded and who have eventually been completely neglected.

Sure enough, in the end, the only thing left is a face.

'Utsunomiya Hoshino'

Hoshino Hoshino Hoshino Hoshino——

cough cough.

He lost his composure.

The witch slightly covered her face and gently rubbed her cheeks with both hands.

I've been making a lot of facial expressions lately; the changes in a single day are almost as frequent as they were in the past year. The corners of my mouth are always curving upwards, and a smile is always on my face.

A smile far gentler than ever before, a smile far brighter than ever before, an expression far more lively than ever before.

Her eyebrows were curved, and the corners of her mouth were upturned.

The stiff cheeks gradually relaxed with repeated movements, and the previously deliberately created simulated smile gradually became lively and energetic.

If it were the witch of the past, she would never have imagined that Yukishiro would turn out like this.

Everything was changed because of him.

At first, it was just curiosity, an interest born from the reversal of logic and the failure of vision.

Then, I gradually began to lose my way.

She became enamored with the comfort of being taken care of by him during her bath and became obsessed with his seemingly excessive yet always within-boundaries bullying tactics, and before she got tired of it, he skillfully and naturally transformed their relationship into friendship.

A friend unlike Emma, ​​a friend unlike Hero.

Special, unique, belonging only to her friends.

He doesn't even interact much with other people; he doesn't do anything except revolve around himself.

This feeling is definitely irresistible...

It's addictive.

I love the feeling of Hoshino combing my hair, the feeling of Hoshino wiping my body, the feeling of Hoshino revolving around me, and the feeling of Hoshino trying to keep her distance but being gradually pushed back by me to make concessions.

—All of these are so addictive.

It wasn't love, but rather an addictive feeling, like a poison.

The witch couldn't help but reveal a cold smile.

Even if this feeling isn't love, even if she's just completely infatuated with Hoshino.

Now that Yukishiro has quietly become heavily dependent on Hoshino Utsunomiya, there's no way she can let go.

That's why Yukishiro started to feel that way.

Emma Sakuraba, what a naughty child.

"Emma, ​​one day she will become a witch who brings disaster."

"She will kill many people."

"It will make everyone unhappy."

"It's terrifying, isn't it? That day will eventually come."

The prophecy that the witch once whispered to Hero seemed to have come true at this moment.

Although Emma Sakura did not bring any disaster, nor did she become a witch, and she did not kill a single person.

But there's no doubt that she made everyone unhappy.

At the very least, the witch's happiness seems to have been hindered.

Isn't this also a kind of misfortune?

Chapter 55 And so, the witch gave up thinking.

What would it feel like for the three of them?

Yukishiro thought she would get the answer to this question soon.

After all, she had watched Emma fall from being the good child in her heart to a bad child, burying her head in her arms and acting cute towards her Hoshino, and she had also watched the two of them hold hands.

She thought that tomorrow, Hoshino would probably take Emma's hand and say to her, "This is our new friend. Let's play together as a family from now on."

Yukishiro had thought about how she should respond.

It was as if he grabbed Hoshino Utsunomiya's hand and slapped Emma's hand away, openly displaying his possessiveness.

It's like holding Utsunomiya Hoshino's hand with one hand and taking Sakura Emma's hand with the other, standing between the two of them, and casually saying, "Then we'll be good friends from now on."

One of the more assertive students confronted Emma directly, asking, "So you've made new friends just because I'm not playing with you anymore?"

And, in a timid and obedient manner, nodding and whispering "hmm," just like at the very beginning.

Several answers seemed pretty good, and she struggled for a while about which one to choose.

But in the end, no matter how long Yuki waited, just when she had almost forgotten about it and was happily immersed in her daily dates, she suddenly remembered.

wrong.

What happened? I saw you shake hands, didn't I? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me?

'Things to be concealed'

Generally speaking, there are things being hidden, secrets being kept, and relationships that cannot be told to others.

All of these lead to an ending called 'cheating'.
