The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

It was pretty ordinary.

It will indeed be very uneventful.

Compared to their previous seemingly confrontational interactions, life has been surprisingly uneventful for Hoshino Utsunomiya.

But it can actually make people feel at ease.

I don't know when it started, but the system seems to have gone silent, and no matter how I call out to it, it won't respond.

The witch always had a smile on her face, and her once cold smile was now slightly warmed by a hint of happiness.

He is working.

I'm also learning.

She also learned to cook.

The bento box for Yuki was special, and as a friend, Emma could easily make an extra one, but since she was already dating Yuki, she shouldn't be too ambiguous with the girl.

Of course, we will still be friends.

Emma is actually quite suitable as a friend.

I don't know when it started, but it seems that Xue and Emma have started holding hands again.

They had no real conflict to begin with, so their reconciliation was to be expected.

It's just that Emma, ​​who used to seem quite clingy and caring towards her friends, has slightly reverted to the distance that friends should maintain.

Well...

That's how it should be.

She was only being so close to him because he was her only friend.

Nikaido Hiro's studies abroad also came to an end soon. Although she expressed a lot of objections when she flew back and discovered her suddenly appearing boyfriend,

However, while matters of the heart can certainly be influenced by the words of others, the final decision rests with the individuals involved.

then.

Push the wedding ring into your knuckles and gently lift the veil of your wedding dress.

In this tender moment, the girl might suddenly ask a question.

Why do you say that Hoshino would want to die at the hands of a witch?

Although it seems like I've forgotten it, it's a question I've never forgotten.

If I don't say it out loud, if I don't ask for clarification, I won't be able to find peace of mind.

"Did I talk in my sleep?" Hoshino Utsunomiya was somewhat surprised, but seemed to understand: "Well..."

After all, he had indeed become quite lax.

"Because I came here to fall in love with snow," he said.

Frank words, heartfelt expressions, and deepest thoughts were revealed one after another.

It will be understood.

What I'm about to tell you.

I will declare my existence, and you will recount your past.

I am a stranger in a foreign land.

You are the great witch.

If we're talking about whether they're a good match or not...

I think we're a perfect match.

If one were unaware of the existence of such a system, Yuki Tsukishiro probably wouldn't have been able to find it.

However, once it is known that such a system once existed, it is naturally possible to trace its origins by following the clues.

At least, they'll know what it is and where it is now.

'The dying wish of someone who existed so that witches could be happy'

Such things will vanish the moment the witch attains happiness.

In other words...

Ah, so I'm actually quite happy?

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Yuki Tsukishiro did a somersault.

Backflip!

That's right, I'm very happy.

This is the ending of happyend.

Chapter 60 Don't Die!

Life has gradually gotten back on track recently. Hoshino Utsunomiya feels that she has finally adapted to the rhythm of working the night shift and the ambiguous relationship with school. She is also less tired during the day.

Because her expenses were already low, and although she didn't earn much, Hoshino Utsunomiya still felt a sense of relief when she received her first month's salary.

At least that way, I won't be short of money to buy a suitable gift for a witch when I go out on a date.

Although Hoshino Utsunomiya knew very well that Yuki Tsukishiro was probably not short of money, he still felt that he couldn't quite accept the idea of ​​being kept by a witch.

At the very least, when it comes to meals, he should pay the bill.

As for my career, though it's probably not really a career, while my part-time job is on track, my studies are also starting to make some progress.

Hoshino Utsunomiya thought about it for a long time. Although the witch's power had freed him and the witch from the school's control, and he no longer needed to be confined to the campus like ordinary students, he might still need to take the entrance exam for at least a university.

There's no need to worry about the current junior high school knowledge; the important thing is the high school knowledge that has long since been completely forgotten.

...I hope I can learn it.

He's already trying to get back into the swing of things and start learning again.

I think I'll be able to get into the rhythm of my job again very soon.

Emma remained the same as always, but Xue had been showing a cold smile much more often lately, and a couple of days ago she even crossed the line and hugged him.

The witch's body was still too light; even when the girl hugged her so readily, she could hardly feel anything.

...I want to feed the witch more.

If only she could eat as heartily as Emma, ​​being too light always feels a bit unsteady.

She is less than 1.5 meters tall but weighs only about 60 kilograms. If she weren't a witch, this would be a very unhealthy weight.

Hoshino Utsunomiya thought that being hugged by the witch should be a sign that his relationship with her had progressed.

It seems he's one step further away from his wish to be killed by the witch.

But at the same time, he is probably one step closer to his wish to spend the rest of his life with the witch.

...Should I take a little more initiative and try to move the relationship beyond the ambiguous stage?

Although it is said that the choice is given to the witch, is it a little inappropriate to be too passive in a relationship and wait for the witch to make a one-sided move?

But their relationship is already intimate and ambiguous enough; if they take it any further...

All that's left is kissing and going to a hotel.

"..."

Speaking of which, where is the system?

I was so busy lately that I didn't pay attention to it, but now I've noticed that the system has been silent since last week.

"Is the commander still alive?"

[...They're still alive!]

But even a casual shout can still elicit a response.

It seems he's not dead, but I don't know why there's a hint of unspoken meaning in his words.

"Don't die!"

Shaking his head, Hoshino Utsunomiya simply said it casually.

【...】

...Host, you're the one who shouldn't die.

Thinking back to last week when I watched the host utter her true feelings in her sleep, and remembering the witch's cold expression at the time.

The system could only sigh inwardly.

The trend was clearly very good, so why did things go wrong at this last moment?

Fortunately, Xue has a soft heart, so she probably won't die.

Utsunomiya Hoshino: "...?"

For some reason, I sensed that unspoken feeling coming from the system's voice again.

......never mind.

It's fine if the system doesn't talk much; in fact, it might be a good thing.

If you talk too much, it not only sounds noisy, but you also can't help but put the system in the friend's position when you talk too much.

In short, it's about time to head to school.

There was no need to change clothes; Hoshino Utsunomiya put on her shoes in the entryway without taking anything with her.

Then, before leaving, he glanced at the small induction cooker placed next to the sink in the room.

...Or, why don't you try cooking for yourself?

It saves the trouble of buying rice balls, and at the same time, it can also prepare an afternoon lunch for Miss Witch.

With that thought in mind, Hoshino Utsunomiya arrived at school at the usual time.

The noise, the chaotic flow of people, and...

The empty chair in Yuki's Tsukishiro collection.
