The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

They weren't officially in a relationship, but that didn't mean she couldn't see the consequences of infidelity.

Hoshino Utsunomiya has great self-control, and during the time she spent with him, she confirmed this through numerous tests; he never crossed the line.

But, but.

If it's the bad girl Emma, ​​the bad girl Emma that she knows yet is also a stranger to.

Is it permissible to use the excuse of "it's only right between friends" to take advantage of others and do things that shouldn't be done?

If Yuki Tsukishiro hadn't used the word "friend" as a magic spell to close the distance, she probably wouldn't have been afraid of anything.

But the key point is that she has used it, and it works very well!

Hoshino is totally into this kind of thing!

Then she should be a little worried.

Actually, compared to Emma's affair, there's something else that Yuki should be more worried about.

It happened on the same day, but a little earlier. Just when she felt she had done everything she needed to do and was about to do even more, she used the "we are friends" keycard to break through Utsunomiya Hoshino's bottom line one by one.

That very day, she mistakenly and miscalculated by pushing the process too far, destroying the ambiguous, elusive feeling and clearly defining the boundaries of what was originally a vague situation.

Hoshino Utsunomiya should have woken up by now, not in the sense of 'mild brainwashing'. That thing isn't some super effective hypnosis app; its effect is limited to the moment when the words are accepted. Although it doesn't leave any obvious traces that make people realize they've been brainwashed, it also can't last for very long.

She was referring to that ambiguous veil she had created, which was supposed to be perfect, fragile as paper, but certainly not easily torn.

The ambiguous period is a very good term. It refers to the ambiguous relationship between people who don't explicitly acknowledge it. Both parties enjoy this close relationship without saying anything, but still do so intentionally.

He would convince himself that "that's how it is between friends" because he had already made countless concessions and done things he shouldn't have. She would savor the ambiguity she had created and happily let it continue to heat up.

No one would choose to expose this ambiguity.

Unless she really pushed things too fast and too far, making him realize that this so-called 'friendship' had already crossed the line that should have been blurred.

In this situation, can the ambiguous relationship continue? Will the dating continue?

Especially now that Emma is holding his hand.

Will he turn around and cheat on Emma?

Cough, no, no, why are we veerging back to the logic of Emma's affair?

What Yuki Tsukishiro should worry about most is that he will tell himself, 'No, this is not something friends should do.'

Then all possibility of further testing is thus eliminated.

I won't let you touch my little hands, I won't let you touch my little face, I won't let you stick your legs to my feet...

She hasn't even kissed anyone yet!

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just kissed him in the bathroom and said that's how friends should act.

Or I could send him a message tomorrow and tell him that my cat can do backflips and if he wants to come see it, and then I could give him a big kiss as soon as he walks in.

The chaotic thoughts that only popped up when I wasn't thinking about anything were quite excessive.

The witch never imagined that she would have such wild thoughts about mere humans.

Surprisingly, she didn't hate herself for being like that.

Although, it seems... my thinking is indeed a bit too extreme, too hasty, and too hasty.

She certainly didn't dislike the process of gradually cultivating feelings over time; that's exactly what she was doing.

However, occasionally, when you see a breakthrough that seems to lead you to the next stage, if you accidentally miss it, you will definitely have a strong urge to turn back.

If the death rewind hadn't been spread to Hiro, Yukishiro had no doubt that she would have hesitated to use it to reload the game and choose the best option.

Unfortunately, the reversal of death was in Hero's hands, and Hero was far away overseas.

Yes, that's right. She remembered that magic such as illusions, visual manipulation, and mild brainwashing had been spread, but it still returned to a usable state.

However, there are also spells like levitation, which are certain to spread out and cannot be reused.

More importantly, she dared not try it, what if she actually tried to commit suicide and the result did not trigger death regression?

Hoshino was left alone, Emma was left alone.

He was alive and with his good friend.

Even if Nikaido Shiro were to think about it, one could imagine what would happen, let alone Tsukishiro Yuki.

After thinking and pondering a lot, just as Tsukishiro Yuki finally returned to the original question and started to worry about tomorrow.

[hoshino: Tomorrow at 1:30 PM, at the school gate]

The appointment arrived as scheduled.

So the witch gave up thinking.

[yuki: OK]

Chapter 56 The Witch's Dream Should Also Come to an End

They met, held hands, walked together, and stayed close together.

Everything proceeded smoothly, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Yuki Tsukishiro felt a little dizzy.

Eh?

It feels like all my worries were in vain; nothing I was worried about happened.

Did he really realize the problem yesterday?

Or is it...?

He realized it, but also chose to maintain a good understanding.

Miss Witch didn't know, but she decided to give up thinking about it.

Why think so much? Hold hands more, and then try to put your arm around the waist, or better yet, give a hug, and maybe even a quick kiss on tiptoe.

This is the right way!

The witch gave up thinking and chose to let instinct take over her mind.

The heavy burden on my shoulders seemed to be lifted at this moment, the flames of hatred were extinguished, and I no longer needed to force myself to curse anything or force myself to hate anything.

Just immerse yourself in it completely.

Human lifespan is finite, but a witch's lifespan is very long.

Hoshino can only live for about a hundred years, so I'll spare humanity for another hundred years, and let humanity live for another hundred years.

The witch closed her eyes.

Let the calendar pages turn day by day.

......

The holiday is over.

For Hoshino Utsunomiya and Yuki Tsukishiro, it was simply a matter of returning to the way they interacted in school, changing their date location from outdoors to the classroom.

They openly pulled their desks closer together, their elbows touching and rubbing against each other to spread their body heat, and whispered meaningless little things to each other while leaning on the desks.

Imagine your fingers as tiny figures climbing on the other person's arm, swaying left and right, striking their thighs in a back-and-forth counterattack.

Quietly slip your hand from behind your back to the side, pretending it's someone else greeting you. Watch as the other person turns their head but finds nothing, then chuckle to yourself.

Bored out of his mind, he casually picked up a strand of the girl's long hair, twirling and playing with it in his hand to pass the time.

In terms of form, they are indeed quite different.

But in essence, there is no difference.

—These are all actions that others would perceive as flirting.

Campus couples in the ambiguous stage of their relationship often do things that, while remaining within acceptable boundaries, are never actually crossing the line.

For Emma Sakuraba and Hoshino Utsunomiya, it was no different.

The make-up classes during the holidays had already ended, and by the time the holidays were halfway over, there was no longer any need for her to come to school.

But Emma still comes to school every day, bringing her lunchbox, and sneaks in quietly, secretly, to wait on the rooftop to eat with her best friend.

If you say there's no difference, then there isn't. It's just that you no longer need to go through all that trouble to climb over the wall to get into the school. You can just wait in the classroom until noon.

If there's any difference... well, it's huge.

Every day, I have to sit in the classroom listening to the rustling of the desks and chairs behind me, anxiously waiting for noon to arrive.

In fact, logically speaking, they should have eaten together even at noon.

Even if he agreed to accompany her, Sakura Emma, ​​at most, he would probably just have the three of them eat together, right?

Just like when Hero was still alive.

However, unexpectedly, he did not take Xiaoxue's hand and come over.

Emma had actually considered whether, if he really came back holding Xiaoxue's hand, she should reconcile with Xiaoxue and get back together, or turn her face away and huff out to express her dissatisfaction, and then, with his mediation and Xiaoxue's concession and apology, accept being friends with Xiaoxue again.

But what she really didn't expect was that he would still come to the rooftop to keep her company during his lunch break until it ended.

What about Xiaoxue? Does he just leave her alone?

Emma Sakura didn't know, but it wasn't bad news for her.

He still dedicated his lunch break to himself every day, so for Emma Sakura, nothing was different.

For Hoshino Utsunomiya

That would be very different.

As mentioned before, he started working, and he was on the night shift.

With ample time to catch up on sleep during the holidays, coupled with his physical condition and youth, he can still hold on.

But now school has started.

Although he doesn't actually need to attend classes, even if he really wanted to find more reasons to stay here, he wouldn't need to resort to studying junior high school courses diligently.

Saving money through working is enough.

However, forcing yourself to get up early can be somewhat mentally taxing.
