The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

That's superhuman strength.

This is the purest form of numerical value!

In a daze, the people who tried to grab Utsunomiya Hoshino were neatly piled up on the floor to the side.

To be honest, Hoshino Utsunomiya really wanted to kindly remind her, "The ground is cold, don't catch a cold."

However, seeing their half-closed eyes pretending to be unconscious, he decided to leave them be.

After patting his hands, which weren't covered in dust, Hoshino Utsunomiya turned to look at the classmate in front of him who had already frozen in place.

"What were you saying just now?"

He said.

"..."

Quiet.

silence.

Dead silence.

Pure violence, pure numbers; although the blows didn't seem particularly heavy-handed, the ease emanating from his very bones perfectly showcased Utsunomiya Hoshino's current mastery.

Even if a few more people went up, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

Oh my god, no, brother, if you're so amazing, you should have said so earlier.

If you had told us earlier, we would have obediently pretended to be good people for a while.

You've made such a mess of things.

"It seems there aren't any left."

Hoshino Utsunomiya shrugged and sat down on the table, propping himself up on the tabletop.

He looked down at the students in front of him from a slightly higher angle.

"Now, can you sit down quietly and tell me your reasons?"

He has already subdued the man.

If things continue like this, even if they still harbor malice towards Yuki, the overt bullying should stop as long as I'm present.

Of course, he can't prevent the kind of bullying that happens behind people's backs; at most, he can only stop it by beating up each bully he sees.

Alternatively, he could simply set up a target and have someone beat up anyone who showed signs of being bullied, so that they would spontaneously stop the bullying.

Regardless of the circumstances, if his goal was to seduce the witch...

So he's done at this point.

Unfortunately, Hoshino Utsunomiya never intended to seduce the witch.

Therefore, it cannot end here, it cannot stop here.

"Why do this?"

why?

It was quite unbelievable when Hoshino Utsunomiya asked the question; the bully hadn't even entertained a thought.

blank.

Completely blank.

There are no answers, no results, and no reasons.

The words were on his throat, but he couldn't utter a single one.

...Huh?

Only at this moment did he feel somewhat dazed.

Why did I do that?

Bullying classmates, forming cliques, and using the excuse of helping new classmates integrate into the group to force others to join in the bullying.

I must have some reason, right?

"..."

Silence, silence, silence.

The surrounding air began to ferment, and the eerie tacit understanding and the atmosphere of silence combined to create a sense of oppression.

It was only then that he suddenly realized something.

There was absolutely no reason.

There wasn't even the thought that I simply wanted to do it.

So, what exactly is my reason for doing this?

"—"

His brows furrowed unconsciously.

The stench that had been lingering in the air suddenly intensified in the moment of silence.

Then, he suddenly remembered what he should say.

How could I have forgotten?

The reasons I hate that woman, and the reasons I choose to bully that woman.

"Can't you smell it?" His expression gradually turned calm, his previous emotions completely cooled, and he said, "She stinks."

"He had a smell that was unpleasant to smell."

"She's being bullied, and it's all her own fault."

As he spoke, the stench around them seemed to intensify.

Utsunomiya Hoshino: "..."

He can smell it.

His nose wasn't blocked, so of course he could smell it.

But so this flavor is from Tsukishiro Yuki?

subtle.

The reason others bullied her was because of her smell.

Smell, smell, smell...

"Hmm... I understand." Utsunomiya Hoshino nodded thoughtfully, then gently jumped off the table and once again patted the other person's shoulder.

He placed one hand on his shoulder and picked up the iron bucket next to him again with the other.

Hoshino Utsunomiya smiled as he placed the metal bucket in front of him.

"Now, please help me fill it up."

"You guys must be the best at this kind of thing, right?"

Judging from how skillfully that person carried the water bucket over just now, and then looking at the iron bucket still on Yuki's head, it's quite striking.

Without a doubt, this is the kind of thing that suits them best.

"..."

I didn't understand, but I looked at the hand resting on the shoulder.

The bully chose to obey.

Then, a moment later, the bucket, swaying and making a splashing sound, appeared.

It was once again handed over to Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Grasping the handle, Hoshino Utsunomiya lifted the bucket more easily than he had imagined, swaying slightly.

—She walked up to Yuki Tsukishiro.

He gently placed the bucket on her table, looking directly into her eyes as she looked up to meet his.

"..."

Light blue eyes, ethereal and empty, tranquil breathing.

The moment the swaying water on the bucket gradually calmed down, the students around seemed to understand what Hoshino Utsunomiya was planning to do.

His choice was not simply to shout, "I'm protecting this child, and nobody can touch her," in order to stop bullying.

Instead, she handed the bucket of water that had been poured over her head to bully her, making her pour the water back to the bullies herself. Through this action, Yuki Tsukishiro realized that these bullies were not so great after all.

......is that so?

Holding their breath, focusing their gazes, the entire class, including those piled up pretending to be unconscious, were secretly watching.

Watching Utsunomiya Hoshino raise her hand, and watching Utsunomiya Hoshino gently remove the iron bucket hanging on Tsukishiro Yuki's head.

Then, then, then.

I watched as he raised his hand, grasped the handle of the bucket, and lifted it up.

"Splash—"

He poured water on Yuki's head.

Chapter 6 "Hmm".

From the day I met Yuki Tsukishiro

Hoshino Utsunomiya had been pondering a question.

Why was she bullied?

Even disregarding Yuki Tsukishiro's inhuman nature, and ignoring her deadpan face that, despite not being human, always maintains a smile,...
