The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Nikaido Hiro frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between Utsunomiya Hoshino and Ice Merry, who seemed to be just centimeters apart and about to touch.

Hoshino Utsunomiya kept a slight distance from her because of her approach; otherwise, she felt that the two of them would probably be pressed against each other.

But Meruru on the ice couldn't stop moving closer to Hoshino Utsunomiya, as if she were seeking his protection.

She still didn't understand anything.

Hiro had been wondering what exactly he meant by "the next one" that Utsunomiya Hoshino mentioned.

Today, she finally feels like she understands something.

...It's sexual desire.

His lament about Yuki's death and his talk of finding another one is simply because the deceased Yuki could not satisfy his desires. To meet his physical needs, he is forced to set his sights on the next target.

Ultimately, is this all that guys expect from their girlfriends?

The moment you realize this, and revisit the points that you would have focused on in your memory, things will change instantly.

On her first day at the new school, she dragged Xue to take a bath, nonchalantly accepting Emma's ambiguous, rubbing touch. To this day, she confessed to Ice Meluru on the very first day they met, maintaining a distant yet intimate relationship.

All of this was caused by the man's excessive desires during puberty.

Filthy, evil, utterly disgusting!

Taking a deep breath and ignoring Hoshino Utsunomiya, Hiro Nikaido grabbed Meruru Ice's hand and pulled her away from Hoshino Utsunomiya.

“Miss Ice, don’t worry, I’m here.” She first softened her voice and gently comforted her, then straightened her expression and said, “I think I told you before, ‘He’s not as kind as you think.’”

"I think you might not understand."

Nikaido Hiro would rebuke and criticize anything he saw as incorrect, and try to steer it toward the right path.

In other words, Nikaido Hiro is not just a useless, stupid dog that barks and hisses at everyone it sees, cursing and hissing at whoever it encounters.

For her, the first thing to do is to strictly stop the mistake from continuing. But then she needs to use accurate logic and words to make the other person understand that they are wrong. If the other person can finally understand their mistake through her earnest teaching and has the idea of ​​correcting the mistake and making amends, she will reach out to help the other person complete the transformation from wrong to right.

This is the most fundamental methodology of Nikaido Hero's guidance of the world.

"This man is the embodiment of desire."

In front of Hoshino Utsunomiya, Hiro Nikaido made completely subjective and defamatory remarks to Meruru Hikami.

Utsunomiya Hoshino: "...?"

Meluru on Ice: "???"

Emma Sakura: "kiang?!"

When Nikaido Hiro made his outrageous remarks, the other three people present immediately showed extremely strange expressions.

Hoshino Utsunomiya with a strange and eerie expression, Meruru Ice, whose heartbeat slowed down, and Emma Sakuraba, who desperately wanted to say something but tried her best to suppress her urge to speak.

Regardless of their reactions, they all shared the same thought.

—What the hell is this guy talking about?!

Hoshino Utsunomiya could no longer keep her expression in check.

Having transmigrated here for so long, with so many opportunities, I haven't even kissed a single man on the lips. What kind of embodiment of desire am I?!

"On his very first day at the school, he lured a girl from his class to the bathroom to try and explore the mysteries of the human body. He also maintained a close relationship with his friends as if nothing had happened shortly after his girlfriend's death." Nikaido Hiro, taking in all three expressions, continued without changing his demeanor:

"This is clearly not because he lacks the necessary sense of distance in his interactions with others; his purpose is precisely to create such a misunderstanding."

"This is just a disguise, a disguise that makes one appear harmless and naturally close to young girls."

"Once he has casually closed the distance between you, once he has found the most opportune moment, he should bare his fangs and make his move."

Releasing Meruru's hand, who seemed to have no intention of leaving him, Nikaido Hiro suddenly raised his hands, baring his teeth and making a threatening gesture.

"He will peel you away layer by layer like an insatiable, ravenous wolf, and then devour you whole, before getting bored and turning to find the 'next' target."

With her threatening expression gone, Nikaido Hiro crossed her arms and reiterated her conclusion.

"Therefore, Hoshino Utsunomiya is the embodiment of the most evil desires."

Hiro Nikaido's voice echoed in the quiet reception room, and coupled with her proud posture with her arms crossed and back straight, it made it seem as if she was saying something perfectly natural and self-evident.

"..."

All three fell silent, and a heavy silence began to fill the living room.

"..."

“…Heero has gone mad.” Emma Sakura broke the silence in a low voice, muttering to herself, “I thought Heero had finally returned to normal, but I didn’t expect him to have gone even crazier.”

If Hoshino were truly the embodiment of desire, he would have already taken action against himself.

Why wait until now to confess to Meruru?

I thought that Nikaido Hiro's rebuke would surely be followed by profound insights, but instead he started spouting nonsense.

Alas, Xiaoxue's death was indeed a huge blow to her.

...Oh, right, speaking of Xiaoxue's death.

In his argument just now, Hero actually mentioned his girlfriend's death briefly.

If Hoshino catches this keyword and has questions...

While feeling somewhat helpless towards Nikaido Hiro, Emma Sakuraba couldn't help but feel a little nervous as well.

Will Hoshino notice? How will Hoshino react?

Emma's fears were destined to be unfounded.

Because compared to the fact that he already knew about the deceased Yuki Tsukishiro, Hoshino Utsunomiya wanted to sigh more.

It seems that Nikaido Hiro has indeed gone mad.

"Ugh......"

He sighed deeply, wanting to say something, but after pondering for a long time, he only showed a hesitant expression.

Hoshino Utsunomiya suspects that Hiro Nikaido has begun to turn into a witch, otherwise how could she utter such nonsense?

Unfortunately, he had no evidence.

But it was precisely this hesitant expression that led Nikaido Hiro to mistakenly believe that he had already revealed Hiro's true colors, leaving Hiro unable to refute him.

Evil people can never truly maintain their facade of hypocrisy.

The final step is to make Meruru on Ice fully realize that she is protected by someone!

“Miss Ice, now you should finally realize my good intentions. I have exposed his true colors, and you will no longer be deceived by him.” Nikaido Hiro smiled. “You don’t need to worry about him threatening you to do anything. I will protect you. Stay by my side today.”

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Meruru on the ice.

As long as Meruru holds this hand, the two will travel together.

As long as Meruru holds this hand, Hoshino Utsunomiya's evil scheme will be thwarted.

"..."

But Meru looked at Hiro Nikaido's outstretched hand, and then at Hoshino Utsunomiya.

She took a few steps back gently and shook her head.

"Yes, I'm sorry, thank you, thank you, I'm sorry..." she apologized, tears welling up in her eyes again. "I, I, I think Mr. Hoshino isn't that kind of person. Ms. Hiro, what you said went too far..."

She thanked him, she apologized, and she took the initiative to protect Hoshino Utsunomiya.

"I... I want to believe in Hoshino. Please, please, Hiro, stop slandering him!"

Instead, the girl stood in front of Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Emma Sakuraba and Hiro Nikaido both wore expressions of disbelief.

Emma's disbelief wasn't about Meruru easily believing Hoshino Utsunomiya.

Instead...

She actually did what I wanted to do before I could?!

Emma Sakuraba had long wanted to turn the tables and stand up to protect Hoshino Utsunomiya.

She wanted to protect him, to hold him as he cried, and her maternal instincts kicked in!

...but I never had the chance.

So, instead of being beaten by Xiaoxue, it was this guy, Meru from the Ice, who came out halfway through, who beat her to it?!

Emma Sakura's affection level towards Meruru on Ice has decreased.

"...I slandered him?" Nikaido Hiro laughed angrily. "Where did I slander him?"

"Wasn't he the one who dragged Xiaoxue to take a bath on the first day? Wasn't he the one who didn't avoid or reject Emma's advances? Wasn't he the one who confessed to you right away?"

Isn't that all true?!

The evidence is irrefutable, what more can be said?!

"...The conclusion of this deduction is completely wrong." Hoshino Utsunomiya sighed softly.

Hoshino Utsunomiya had actually lost the strength to refute.

How can human thought jump around like that?

Hearing about taking a bath makes me think of being naked, and thinking about being naked makes me think of kissing and touching, and thinking about kissing and touching makes me think of the pleasure of being intimate. In the blink of an eye, even though nothing has been done, I'm suddenly seen as the embodiment of some unknown desire.

Sigh, Xiao Chunu in her adolescence.

"Forget it, let's ignore her." Utsunomiya Hoshino waved his hand, rubbed his temples, and turned around: "Ms. Meruru, let's go."

"There's not much time left today."

Continuing to entangle with Nikaido Hiro will only lead to an endless conflict.

She seems like the kind of person who won't give up until she gets what she wants. We can't just give up our goals to appease her, can we?

Ignoring her is the best solution.

Anyway, there's nothing she can do.

"Ah, um!"

On the ice, Meruru responded and followed in his footsteps.
