The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Where did Hoshino go?

If Xiaoxue wants to make up with me, why not at school?

An inexplicable intuition filled her heart with a strange feeling.

Perhaps it was just a strong warning that she might be alone again, but Emma Sakura felt she had to make sure.

It's definitely okay. She's just overthinking things. The reason they asked her to go to Xiaoxue's house after school was simply because they wanted to prepare a surprise in advance.

Yes, that's right, just like a surprise birthday party.

The reason Hiro was in such a hurry was because she had rushed back today, leaving the two of them behind to prepare a surprise for themselves.

So, so—

"--written request for leave."

The iron-clad gatekeeper stopped Sakura Emma at the gate.

Hiro returned to school, but not to his class, nor to the activity room he had applied for.

Although she hadn't searched the rooftop or the restrooms, her intuition told Emma Sakura that Hiro was no longer at school.

The only direction to go forward, the only destination.

only one.

The house of Yuki Tsukishiro.

We can't let the security guard stop us at this time.

[Charge forward]

[Seek alternative methods]

For some reason, Emma Sakura felt as if two options had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Although the hallucinations quickly dissipated, Emma Sakura felt that this was the choice she should be facing at this moment.

Don't rush!

Her small frame made it impossible for her to get past the guard's defenses.

Fortunately, Emma Sakuraba had another way.

Emma Sakuraba made special preparations to meet Hoshino Utsunomiya on the rooftop so she could enter and leave the school during the holidays.

Now is the time to put the hidden ladder to good use again!

It's time to dig out of the school!

"Hmph, ha!"

A smooth landing!

The message sent to Hero received no response and was not marked as read.

The same applies to the messages sent to Hoshino.

Emma Sakura gripped her phone tightly and jogged toward Yuki's house.

then.

She saw it.

The door was open; Hoshino lay collapsed on the ground; Hiro, clutching an iron rod, slumped on the floor, gasping for breath; and...

Yukishiro hanged herself to the side.

"—"

"Aa ...

The first person to scream upon witnessing the scene.

It's Emma Sakura.

......

For Emma Sakuraba, there was three pieces of bad news today.

Xiaoxue died, Hoshino fainted, and it was all done by Shiro.

Xiaoxue died by putting a noose around her neck and committing suicide.

Hoshino was struck hard on the back of the head with an iron rod and collapsed to the ground, where he may never wake up again.

The one wielding the iron rod was Hero.

......

Ps:

8 updates, 17,000 words! My drafts have been cleared again, and I'm about to write more.

I ultimately couldn't write about Witch Island on the day of the book's release, but it should be soon.

The coin maker forgot to click the "apply for recommendation" button, so this week's release is absolutely amazing—it's a completely bare-bones offering! Ahhh—

By the way, the cat's New Year event has started, with double monthly tickets and the ban lifted! Oh my god, why didn't you say so sooner!

Chapter 65 One of you is the Great Witch in disguise.

The images that haunted her like a nightmare, like a persistent shadow clinging to the depths of her bones, haunted her relentlessly.

Nowadays.

Emma Sakura had another nightmare.

It was the same scene, the same picture.

A dark, hazy, and oppressive background contrasts sharply with a dazzling, blooming bouquet of crimson flowers.

The scene in a standard Japanese-style room is illuminated only by the light diffused from outside the door.

Her best friend, a girl named Yuki Tsukishiro, hanged herself there.

Her bare feet hung in mid-air, gradually losing their color, and the marks on the collar around her neck turned bluish-purple.

Even at the moment of his death, the smile on his face seemed to remain unchanged.

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead...

Xiaoxue is dead.

But this is not the end.

This isn't even the most terrifying part of the picture.

This isn't even the most distressing part of the scene.

The most uncomfortable part is having to look downwards and twist your already stiff neck downwards.

Only through sheer instinctive resistance could one peek over the scattered stools and see the fallen figure.

The slightly spreading blood was more realistic than the red flowers painted on the paper door; in the end, it was the color of blood itself.

It permeated the air, spreading outwards slightly.

It exudes an aura of 'death'.

Yuki Tsukishiro committed suicide.

But this image undoubtedly represents homicide.

And the one who actually did it was the most terrifying part of this scene.

Her good friend, Nikaido Hiro.

Holding an iron rod stained with a little blood, he slumped cross-legged on the ground, panting heavily.

I heard the commotion of her arrival and her piercing scream.

Hero turned his head away.

With those bright red, deep red eyes, perhaps even more profound than blood.

He looked at her.

The shocking scene caused Emma Sakura to witness a wildly growing illusion that transcended reality.

Hero's long, jet-black hair was stained with a deep, blood-like color, and black, devilish horns grew from the ends of his hair.

The sharp nails swelled endlessly, and the monstrous creature smiled at her.

He was going to be killed, beaten to death, torn to pieces, to be bitten to pieces—

Am I going to fall in a pool of blood along with Hoshino?

...So perhaps it's not so bad?

"--wrong!"

The terrifying illusion vanished in the next moment, and Nikaido Hiro's face returned to its usual dignified and serene appearance in her mind. Sakura Emma, ​​who had just woken up from the nightmare, shouted out.

His breathing was disordered, and he was covered in sweat.

My head is splitting with pain.

Her small hands gripped her chest tightly, the fabric of her pajamas twisting and wrinkling, the slight pain clashing with the discomfort in her chest.

Emma Sakura finally came to her senses.

Ahh...

It was a dream.

That means there's no way Hiro could become a demon, and Hoshino won't die so easily. Yuki, Yuki...

Only the moon shines on the snow.

They are truly dead.

...A considerable amount of time has passed since the day of the incident.

To this day, Emma Sakura still doesn't understand why things turned out this way.

Yuki Tsukishiro's body was properly buried by her parents, who did not choose cremation, even though cremation is much cheaper than burial.
