The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

In the reception room, Ice Meluru nodded subconsciously in response. After a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly realized what was happening, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"...For example, if I, could, were to—"

She was about to awkwardly confirm, but before she could finish speaking...

"--boom!"

"--boom!"

Almost simultaneously, two extremely violent door opening sounds suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, before the sound could echo inside the room, the two girls who had violently opened the door uttered remarkably similar words in unison.

"--Can't!!!"

"—That's incorrect!!!"

The one who shouted at the front door was Sakura Emma.

Standing angrily at the back door was Nikaido Hiro.

......

That's not right. How could that be right?

Not long after Xue died, she remained unconscious for such a long time, but as soon as she woke up, she exuded desire and confessed her feelings to others.

That's absolutely, completely incorrect!

I straightened out the jumbled thoughts in my mind and suppressed the contradiction that had been troubling me for many days.

The moment Nikaido Hiro made the decision to uphold his ideals and correct the course of the world.

An indescribable sense of pleasure spread throughout her entire body from head to toe.

As long as she stops questioning her own correctness and stops doubting whether she is wrong, she will no longer be confused.

The mistakes that should be most concerned about and corrected are those so-called witches, evil, and owls.

To presumptuously call Nikaido Hiro evil is utterly wrong.

Normally, she would have taken a sharp step forward, interrupted the owl's words on the spot, and said coldly, "You're wrong, I'm not evil."

But now, there is an even more intolerable evil before us, and even more errors that need to be corrected beside us.

Utsunomiya Hoshino.

She has to correct this guy's mistake.

However, just as this thought arose in his mind, and he was about to start lecturing Hoshino Utsunomiya.

When Nikaido Hiro looked up, he saw Utsunomiya Hoshino avoid Emma Sakuraba's outstretched hand, bypass Meru Ice, and turn to leave alone.

Ok?

Has he changed his ways? Is this the first time he's realizing he needs to keep his distance from those women?

No, I can't trust this guy so easily anymore. This is just a ploy to get him; the more aloof and distant the relationship is, the more attractive it is to others.

It seems that Hoshino Utsunomiya is a master of this art.

No wonder he was able to easily gain Xiaoxue's trust on his first day after transferring schools, making Xiaoxue willingly follow him.

No wonder he was still talking about finding the next one after Xiaoxue's suicide, and he can still enjoy his closeness with Emma here like no one else is around.

...It seems this man has hunted countless innocent girls.

This child must not be allowed to live!

Emma quickly ran after him, but Nikaido Hiro didn't rush after him either.

Instead, he glanced at the two remaining girls beside him.

Arisa Wisteria.

Originally, it was the kind of delinquent outfit that I least approved of, and it was not correct. From the mask to the clothes, everything about it was filled with a sense of deviance from common sense.

But she doesn't have excessive tattoos, and she hasn't crossed the line that's intolerable.

Most importantly, she is very wary!

She immediately displayed a clear aggression towards Utsunomiya Hoshino, attacking Emma, ​​who had begun to rely on him, with her very first sentence, criticizing and forcing him to clarify their relationship.

She even later made a resolute declaration that she would never fall in love with him.

Excellent, absolutely right, absolutely correct!

Arisa, you've passed!

Arisa Fujito doesn't need to worry; she'll definitely be fine.

So the only thing I need to care about is this woman.

Nikaido Hiro's sharp gaze was fixed on Meluru on the ice.

Merlu on Ice.

She exuded an annoying aura of cowardice, and tears had been welling up in her eyes ever since. It seemed like she would burst into tears if you just said a few words to her.

It's even more jellyfish-like than a jellyfish!

Timid, fearful, and cowardly.

These kinds of people are always the easiest to bully and the most vulnerable to psychological manipulation (PUA).

As long as you bully her while showing her a little kindness, and tell her that only you will be nice to her while belittling her.

She would then obediently offer you her all.

This guy is the most worrying one!

Despite it being their first meeting, she acted as a separator between Hoshino Utsunomiya and Emma Sakuraba in order to maintain a relatively harmonious group atmosphere.

This is certainly not a bad thing; separating Emma from Utsunomiya is undoubtedly the right thing to do.

But you can't separate the two of them and then turn around and get close to Utsunomiya!

Wouldn't that completely render the whole thing meaningless?!

Does this guy really look that attractive?

Yes, yes, yes, I admit that the outfit he's wearing now does look very special; it's the kind of butler's uniform that best satisfies the unique fantasies of middle and high school girls.

But what does your thank you mean? What does your hand that grabbed his clothes mean? What does your smile mean?

Obstacles, just be proper obstacles!

Don't let your mind wander!

"Click".

The soft sounds mingled with the clicks of the door lock opening and closing. Turning his head, Nikaido Hiro only saw a figure disappear behind the door.

It seemed that Arisa Fujito had no intention of staying in the living room with the two of them, and instead turned and left through the door.

Perhaps they wanted to explore the mansion, or perhaps they were looking for a way to escape.

As long as he wasn't planning on going to see Hoshino Utsunomiya, Hiro Nikaido felt it was fine.

"Tap tap, tap tap..."

With his small black leather shoes lightly stepping on the velvet carpet, Nikaido Hiro arrived in front of Meruru on Ice in just a few steps.

"Meruru on the ice."

"Um, um... Miss Hiro?"

Faced with Nikaido Hiro suddenly standing in front of her, shouting her name aggressively, Hyokami Meruru couldn't help but take a few steps back and lean against the table in the middle.

"I have something to tell you."

After glancing at Meruru in front of him, Hiro cut straight to the point:

"Don't go near Hoshino Utsunomiya anymore."

“He’s not as kind as you think.” Thoughts, guesses, and preconceived notions all came out of Nikaido Hiro’s mouth: “He is evil, he is wrong, and his very existence will lead the world in the wrong direction.”

"I don't want you to be his next target."

"So, stay away from him."

Finally, the conclusion is presented.

Meruru seemed stunned by the string of words, and her blank, silly look irritated Hiro even more.

She reached out and grabbed Meruru by the collar.

"Do you understand?"

"Waaaaah..." Startled by her grab, Meruru burst into tears, her eyes brimming with tears. She immediately began apologizing, "I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry... I don't know why, but I'm so sorry..."

...I always feel like this makes it seem like I'm the one bullying her.

He felt awkward all over. Although the more he saw Meruru apologizing and crying, the more uncomfortable Hero felt, this feeling he was experiencing now was also uncomfortable.

Anyway, she apologized, so she must have taken my words to heart, right?

Thinking this, Hiro released his grip.

“Don’t apologize, I don’t need your apology.” She turned away. “Just remember this: stay away from him.”

With her back turned, she spoke coldly, and before Meruru could respond, she pushed open the door.

The warnings have been given; it's time to go and advise Emma.

What I had to tell her was that, no matter what, Utsunomiya Hoshino was Tsukishiro Yuki's ex-boyfriend. Even if she had distanced herself from her friend's boyfriend because of her own mistakes, she shouldn't have chosen to become so dependent on Utsunomiya Hoshino.

certainly......

What he also needs to do is apologize to Emma.

If I apologize properly and admit that I have become distant from her, and if I shake her hand again and continue to be friends... she probably won't choose to rely on that man, Utsunomiya Hoshino, because she has excessive expectations of friendship anymore.

That's what he thought, and that's exactly what Hero intended to do.

But just a few steps after she stepped out the door...

She then saw the women's restroom next door.
