The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Why is it so hard to have a chat?

For some reason, Hoshino Utsunomiya seemed to recall the past when she and Yuki Tsukishiro were chatting about something.

It seems that's how it was back then; I tried hard to find topics to talk about, but I always ended up veerging into inappropriate topics.

"That means one of us will spend his last day in this prison."

like me.

Quietly, Hoshino Utsunomiya turned around and met Meruru Ice's gaze once again.

A timid, hesitant, and utterly soft gaze.

It really looks like it would gush water out with just a tap.

“I was just thinking about it. It’s practically the last day of my life. It would be too pitiful to spend it all alone.” After a pause, Hoshino Utsunomiya smiled.

"So, Miss Meruru, are you interested in giving me the rest of your time today?"

He said.

Chapter 74 This is incorrect! (8k)

"Are you interested in giving me the rest of your day?"

The sound coming from behind the door to the reception room was so clear.

Emma Sakura, who was about to push the door open, stopped her hand on the doorknob.

Although I have arrived in an unfamiliar environment, although I seem to have encountered something completely incomprehensible, although I am told that it is an evil being that will transform into a witch.

But for Emma Sakuraba, today is still a very happy day.

Because what they saw when they opened the door was Hoshino Utsunomiya, whom they thought would never wake up again.

He stood there, eyes open, clear and bright.

A friend who will never betray me, a friend who will never leave me.

Today, it has awakened.

Being alone is so painful; having no friends is so unbearable.

Xiaoxue's suicide, Shiro's estrangement, and Hoshino's coma.

The recurring nightmares, like a persistent, insidious disease, are a shadow that clings to me.

Emma Sakuraba had long been unable to bear it.

Stop, stop, stop—

Don't take away my friends anymore!!!

There was only one thing I couldn't say.

I am still too timid, I am still too weak.

Why do we have to do this? Can't we just not do this?

My heart is constantly emitting hoarse sobs.

The one he could never see again was the deceased Xiaoxue, and the one who had become estranged from him was the returning Xiluo.

The only person one could truly rely on, the only one one could entrust one's emotions to, was Hoshino Utsunomiya, who, lying in his hospital bed, would never disappear.

Consistent visits and unwavering waiting.

The fantasy is that the first person Hoshino sees when he opens his eyes will be himself, and the beautiful dream he hopes to have is that he will depend on her in return.

But the moment I opened the door and saw him awake.

None of that matters anymore.

There is only one emotion that is suppressed deep in my heart and cannot be suppressed.

rely.

Familiar taste, warm embrace, gentle comfort.

Sense of security.

Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough.

No matter what happens, he is the only one, my only friend, who will never leave me.

A smile crept onto his face as he buried his head in his arms.

Unfortunately, this brief moment of happiness was disrupted.

The strange woman's disgusted and repulsive voice forced him to push her away and clarify their relationship.

...We are not a couple.

We're friends, not lovers.

This is an undeniable fact.

The slight ache in her chest quickly subsided; Emma Sakura didn't care about their relationship at all.

Her feelings about others were irrelevant to her.

So what if we're friends? Aren't friends even better?

Couples have to worry about relationship problems and the feelings of other women, but friends don't have these worries.

Friends are the most suitable relationship, friends are the best!

No argument allowed!

She wants to be Hoshino's best friend!

Friendships are a more stable relationship than romantic relationships.

Although it might be a bit immoral, Yuki, who was his lover, is dead, but Hoshino, who was his friend, can still bury her head in his arms.

Sit down!

I like this feeling, I enjoy this overly intimate sensation.

—It would be better if that woman named Ice Meluru didn't use the excuse that she and Hoshino shouldn't get too close to each other to stop her.

If you're not a couple, don't get too close.

As a result, the one who pretended to block her way actually got closer than anyone else!

Where did this bad woman come from!

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry no matter what she said or did.

Where did you come from, jellyfish?!

However, thanks to Meruru's meddling on the ice, Emma Sakuraba finally snapped out of her joy at the reunion.

Reason gradually prevailed.

Many memories that I hadn't thought of at first, but realized when I came to my senses, gradually surfaced in my mind.

Hoshino did not show any abnormality.

This is the biggest anomaly.

He witnessed Xiaoxue's death and was so badly hurt by Xiluo that he remained unconscious for so long.

How could he still act like he's completely fine?

Her attitude towards herself remains the same, her gentle actions remain the same, and the sense of security she provides remains the same.

The imagined awakening would be him suddenly waking up, carrying the others around to ask about Xue's condition: What happened to Xue? Is Xue alright? Where is Xue?

Then she remained silent, turned her head away with a pained expression, and whispered the truth, unwilling to meet his gaze.

'Xiaoxue is dead. She's been dead for a long time.'

Hoshino would then freeze, and then, as if recalling the scene he had witnessed, his face would contort in agony.

Tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed softly.

Because she was all alone beside her, she clutched her clothes, buried her head in her chest, and cried, apologizing to herself:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know this is wrong, but please, let me cry here for a moment."

...This is the normal reaction.

But he showed no sign of pain, and didn't even bother to check on Xue's condition.

even......

He didn't show any particular attitude towards Hiro.

Actually, this is the thing that should not be done.

It's not that Hoshino and Shiro have any relationship or connection. After all, although Shiro told her about her trust in Hoshino before studying abroad, there were really only a few days between Hoshino transferring to this school and Shiro studying abroad.

On the day Hiro returned, Hoshino fell into a coma.

They had absolutely no room for anything to happen.

Emma Sakura felt that the blow was wrong.

If Hoshino knew that it was Hiro who attacked him and hit him on the head, he would at least take a few steps back and adopt a defensive posture when he saw Hiro for the first time after waking up, even if he didn't question or curse him.

If Hoshino didn't know that his coma was caused by Hiro, he would also be confused by the fragmented memories and would try to find an opportunity to ask himself about the situation and compare the gaps in his memory.

Both reactions are correct.

Only now, as if suddenly locked in such a strange prison, do I begin to constantly look around, silently waiting for others to speak, confirming the situation, and thinking...

The reaction that a seemingly perfectly normal person would have.

That's wrong.

She could, of course, say that it was because Hoshino was very calm and, after quickly sorting out the fragments of memory, understood that those fragments of memory were not important to the prison at this moment.

Even so, as expected, what needs to be said should still be said.

Tell him what happened, tell him that he has been in a coma ever since.

Snow's death, the result of Hiro's actions, the time spent in the hospital, Snow's grave, and...
