The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

The witches live on a small island, leading a secluded life.

Human civilization, human development, and the existence of the human race should have nothing to do with the witch race.

But from the moment the first human set foot on the witch's island.

This prosperity will soon be gone.

It's not that magic is no match for gunpowder, nor that the isolated witch has no combat experience and can't use magic to fight.

However, the arrival of humans was a signal.

The isolated island is now connected to the world, and traces of human footsteps have appeared in the witch's territory.

Just as prophesied.

Witch Island will stagnate and accumulate ominous stagnation.

Destruction is inevitable, even for the Great Witch, who wields countless spells and is practically the embodiment of the witch race's faith.

Despite repeated discussions, they were unable to find a way to avoid destruction, reach a consensus through negotiation, or truly choose a suitable solution.

That's how it happened.

It was an unavoidable outcome, a future that everyone chose to accept.

But only that child.

Even among the great witches, she was still the youngest child.

She is the only one who will be special.

She had no reason to perish with these long-lived old people; their demise was their destiny, but not hers.

The hope is that she can find happiness, and that she can coexist with humanity.

...instead of feeling like I'm carrying a burden and moving towards the extinction of humanity day after day, as I do now.

Even if humanity becomes extinct, so what? Even if you designate humanity as the target of hatred, even if you successfully achieve your long-cherished wish for revenge, you will only be left with a world of your own.

What's the point?

Don't say things like, "This is the fate of those born as witches."

No one but herself would ever desire such a thing.

If only she could make someone fall in love with her, if only she could fall in love with someone.

All that exists is this wish.

but.

That's the wish of the great witches, what does it have to do with the weak, pitiful, and helpless Love and Witch System?

...Let's take a look at the host in front of us.

Ugh.

They gave their hearts only to be trampled on; they thought they had a future but instead witnessed hell; they did nothing wrong but were condemned as evil and fell to the ground.

The host deserved happiness.

Why did things turn out this way?

The system couldn't help but start thinking.

Was it its fault? In the very beginning, it shouldn't have told the host that dying at the hands of the witch would send him back. Shouldn't it have made such a promise?

But if your hometown is right there, yet you have no hope of going back, wouldn't that be too tragic?

Of course, if you ask it a question like, "Isn't this something you caused?"

The system felt that all it could do was raise its hand and say, "Yes, yes, yes, all the bad things were done by this system!"

So, it seems that it was its fault.

It was wrong of it to make such a promise to its host, and wrong of it to encourage the host to get closer to Xue in a different way, so that they could enter each other's hearts.

The biggest mistake was probably that final step of silence.

She watched as her host, exhausted, fell asleep on the witch's lap; she watched as her host murmured in his sleep because of her gentle words; she watched as the witch's expression subtly changed.

But it shut its mouth and remained silent.

To say it's the direct cause... well, that's not wrong.

Although it seemed unsure how to begin, as it pondered the situation, the witch appeared to have figured things out on her own and even embraced her host. It seemed to realize the problem was resolved and therefore there was no need to speak for the time being...

Sigh, I've made too many mistakes.

Swallowing back the words he wanted to use to remind his host, he let Nikaido Hiro unceremoniously swing the stick down.

Seizing the opportunity, at the moment the iron rod fell, he cast a spell that put the host, whose body had been strengthened and who shouldn't have been so easily knocked unconscious by the iron rod, into a deep sleep.

The host remained unconscious for a long time, and the system tried every means to lock away the host's emotions, turning the intense and distorted emotions into faint memories.

Is continuing to do these things after things have developed to this point considered remedial action, or is it compounding the mistake?

The system doesn't know.

All the system knows is that it will not manipulate other people's memories.

Memory is the building block of personality, the cornerstone of worldview, and the very essence of who a person is.

Therefore, memories cannot be deleted, nor are they suitable for blocking.

The system wants the host to retain all of their memories exactly as they were.

The amnesia plot was a bit too melodramatic.

However, retaining the memory means that the host will remember the scene before them, and the scene of Tsukishiro Yuki hanging herself on the spot will be a nightmare that the host can never get rid of.

The heart will ache, the mental shock, the scars in the memory. Rather than letting the host follow his emotions and gradually go to extremes, the system still thinks it is better to force him to calm down for a period of time, suppress all his emotions, and accumulate memories over a period of time.

The intensity of emotions is diluted with the length of memory. If there were more other emotions before he could re-unseal this emotion, then Xue's suicide would probably not be a psychological trauma for the host.

This is a last resort, a compromise.

However, it is indeed a very difficult thing to reverse emotions without manipulating or altering memories.

How can we preserve this memory while making the host less concerned about the event itself?

...The system felt it had an idea.

The words spoken by the host due to emotional outburst can become the breakthrough point for locking away true feelings.

Let the ambiguous scenes in memory be removed from reality, and let the indifference in words become the truth.

The host was very calm; there was no one calmer than the host.

He never liked Yuki Tsukishiro from beginning to end; everything he did was merely to achieve his goal.

Either you win over the witch, or you die at her hands.

That's it.

With the memory problem solved, the emotional problem was also resolved.

Before we knew it, a long time had passed.

However, one last problem remains for the system.

...Where can it find another witch to help its host conquer?

It should be noted that Yukishiro Tsukishiro is not only the last remaining great witch, but also the only, and only, true witch.

Pure, natural, additive-free, original ecological witch.

To find another witch, the only option is for Yukishiro to give birth to one herself...

"Ugh... why did I have to do something like this..."

The soft, light blonde girl cautiously peeked into the ward where Hoshino Utsunomiya was, crouching low and tiptoeing as she carefully slipped inside.

Then, she reached out her hand to Hoshino Utsunomiya.

【...】

......yes.

There are no more original witches, but there are plenty of prospective witches, aren't there?

A brand new romance will fill the void in the host's heart.

Chapter 67 She found the best solution

Let those who want to live die.

Let those who want to die live.

What I want is for things to go against my wishes.

The key to the Tsukishiro Yuki Project lies in this.

The most sudden and violent death, an extremely unexpected suicide.

She felt that what she would see was the most genuine expression beneath that first reaction.

She guessed right.

The moment she pushed open the door, Hoshino Utsunomiya's face revealed the twisted expression she had imagined, even more so than she had expected.

He was very concerned about his own death.

Whether it was because he realized he could never have what he wanted, or because he realized the person he loved had died.

In short, Yukishiro's first goal has undoubtedly been achieved.

The expression of someone struggling to breathe, the stopped breathing, and...

Suddenly, he started laughing incomprehensibly, arms crossed.

...I should be happy, happy for the expression on his face, happy that the expectations of the most hated Utsunomiya Hoshino have finally been dashed.

But why is it that now, I'm experiencing uncontrollable phantom pain in my chest?

The witch had already broken free from the constraints of her body and should not have felt any pain.

...As expected, it was because Hoshino's laughter was too awful.
