January 11, 2026: Advancement, setback, advance, reversal.

On January 19, 2026, a new book, "The Witch's Trial Begins with Bullying the Iron Bucket Zombie," was created. Click to publish a chapter!

On January 22, 2026, in order to rush to sign the contract, I threw away all the 1-word drafts that I had painstakingly deleted, revised, and scrapped over the course of a month, and started writing and publishing on the spot.

January 23, 2026: I regret it, I regret it, I regret it! My drafts, my drafts, my drafts! Help me, help me, help me! Please save the foolish me who recklessly cleared out my drafts without having 1 words left and was forced to start daily updates!

On January 24, 2026, search engine results included: 'How to make the keyboard type automatically?' 'When will widely available brain-computer interfaces for typing appear?' 'Will readers "assassinate" me if I update too slowly?'

On January 26, 2026, Hiro was exiled abroad.

February 1, 2026: I can't keep going at 4 chapters a day anymore! I'm going to rise up! I'm going to stockpile chapters! I'm going to release it and update like crazy! I'm going to update 2 words a day!

February 2, 2026, 4:2 AM.

February 9, 2026. Sigh, writing a book is so hard. Why is writing a book so difficult?

On February 12, 2026, I suddenly realized that I was going to be published again, and this time the number of drafts I had saved was...

Chapter 6!

......

Although it's a bit slow to only have 6 chapters left since I started writing, it's already my best effort. I'll try to write a little more tomorrow and see how much I can manage.

If I can write about opening Witch Island, I'll publish it directly; otherwise, I'll discard all my drafts before midnight.

Without a bounty, I dare not offer one, not because I would owe many more chapters, but because no one would vote for me, and I'm afraid of humiliating myself again.

I opened a two-day draft period for the previous book, set a limit of thirty chapters, and settled the accounts on time in two days.

3.75 chapters owed!

Rounded up, it's a whopping four chapters and eight thousand words!

Although everyone seems very enthusiastic about this book, considering that the reading experience is actually quite similar to the previous book, I won't be offering a reward.

If I owe too much, I'll die; if I owe too little, I feel like a confident loser who opens a bounty only to be ignored.

I suspect that the reason no one bid for the bounty was because everyone suspected that I was just trying to scam people and run away.

......well.

I won't run away; I'll torture myself and shamelessly keep writing.

However, if you have any tickets you don't know what to do with, you can give them to me. They're not very useful, but they look really nice.

Actually, before I started writing this book, my expectation was only 500 poems. As long as I have 500 poems, I can eat well and survive! As long as I have 500 poems, I can pay the rent for my small rented room in the urban village! As long as I have 500 poems!

If I don't have 500, I'll have to work as a food delivery driver.

The results are better than I expected, and it seems I should be able to survive.

Yes, our Witch Trial storyline is really amazing, and our Witch Trial readers are so loving.

So tell me, why don't you write Witch Trial!

......

I originally wanted to say a few more words, but I realized I don't seem to have anything to say, so I'll save my words for the author's closing remarks.

At last.

Don't curse me, don't curse me, don't curse me.

I will not die. I will live a humble, down-to-earth, and steady life!

It would be even better if I could become a master of witch trials.

If not, then online novel experts will also work.

My requirements are very low.

Lunar magic.

Chapter 57 shouldn't be like this.

'Want to die at the hands of a witch'

Eight characters.

Such a brief statement.

Such simple content.

Such incomprehensible murmurs.

Yuki's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a beat, as if a frame of time had been removed at that moment.

Why?

Her body was a little stiff, and her lowered eyes were fixed on the peaceful sleeping face on her lap.

My fingertips felt cold, and my breathing became rapid and heavy.

She wondered if she had misheard, since such a peaceful and serene sleeping face didn't look like she had just been talking in her sleep.

Yes, I must have been hallucinating. I misheard and imagined something that didn't exist.

Otherwise, how could he have uttered the word 'witch'?

...Seriously, you're just scaring yourself.

The witch's eyes flickered, wanting to let the matter drop.

There's nothing to ask, nothing to be curious about, regardless of his initial reasons for bullying me.

As long as he can lie peacefully on my lap and fall asleep like this now.

Isn't that enough?

Can......

A stab to the throat is like a fishbone stuck in one's throat.

No matter how hard I try to convince myself, no matter how desperately I try to maintain this beautiful dream.

Dreams will eventually end.

......

The random thoughts quickly subsided. Instead of immediately shaking Utsunomiya Hoshino and demanding answers, Yukishiro simply let him continue to sleep peacefully on her lap.

It wasn't that she simply convinced herself to accept it.

Even at this moment, she didn't really want to disturb that sleeping face that she rarely saw on ordinary days.

Even at this moment, she didn't really want to ruin the atmosphere.

only......

However, even Yuki Tsukishiro was a little confused.

Why at this time of all? Why at this time of all?

When I chose to temporarily set aside my hatred, when I suddenly realized that I had forgotten the words I used to curse others, and when I began to accept the desire to spend the rest of my life with you.

You said that in a way that no one would have expected.

That's not how it should be.

You can try to kill yourself, you can say you want me to kill you, you can utter all sorts of nonsense in your murmured dreams.

You were just experiencing the stirrings of first love during puberty. You were captivated by my appearance the moment you saw me after transferring schools. You were already smitten with me from the first glance, which is why you resorted to such an awkward method as bullying to try and get my attention.

You said it was because you saw me being bullied that you felt protective of me. You wanted to hold me in your arms, cherish and protect me, but you were worried about those bad people who bullied me, so you awkwardly and indirectly said things like "only you can bully me," making a possessive claim.

You said you like me, like me so much that you can't help yourself, and your body instinctively drives you to come near me. But you don't want to admit it, you don't want to admit it, and you want to fight against your instincts, so you suppress your feelings for me and bully me.

You can say whatever you want.

But the one thing that absolutely cannot be said is the word 'witch'.

She was not human, she was once isolated from the world, she possessed magical power, and she was slaughtered by humans until only she remained.

The witch clan.

Although it wasn't really a big secret, Yukishiro didn't have much intention of hiding it. She just felt there was no need to tell anyone about it, since it was time for her to change her identity and location to continue spreading the witch factor.

But she didn't treat this as a secret, which was different from the fact that Hoshino Utsunomiya had uttered the word 'witch'!

The meaning becomes completely different!

If it was just a secret sharing that started when their feelings were growing, and she casually said with a light laugh, "I'm a witch," when they were exchanging self-reflections, and then Utsunomiya Hoshino ignored it as a joke, then one day when they were together later, she secretly used magic to prove her identity as a witch, and he was so shocked that he said, "So you really are a witch?"

If you're just infatuated with her beautiful face and flawless features, staring at her intently and sincerely praising her as 'a true enchantress'...

If the two of them were out and about when they encountered an evil woman who had taken a liking to Hoshino Utsunomiya's beauty, and Hoshino was forced to use magic to protect her chastity, then seeing the defeated enemy and herself protecting him, Hoshino would finally realize her identity as a witch.

...If that were all, then Yukishiro would be able to tolerate the word 'witch' coming out of Hoshino Utsunomiya's mouth.

But he absolutely could not use the excuse of bullying to satisfy her curiosity when she was so unprepared.

How did he know I was a witch?

When did he first find out that I was a witch?

Did he realize that I used too much 'mild brainwashing' magic?

Did the excessive use of 'eye contact manipulation' make him realize it?

Was the 'clairvoyance' magic detected when it was used to spy on him?

'Vision'... 'Vision' has no effect, voice imitation, liquid manipulation, healing...

No, no, no.

Ultimately, I don't really like using magic that much. These are things that have already been spread around, and I've long been used to a life without using magic.

It's impossible for anyone to detect it!

Moreover, what he said was the 'reason for bullying,' and he was answering the question I had asked.

The answer to the question of why he bullied others was that he wanted to be killed by the witch.
