The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

Gentle movements, a soft voice, and a serious expression.

...But why am I the one who gets hurt?

Pushing open the door to the infirmary revealed a surprisingly bright environment. Compared to the cells below and the previous reception room, the infirmary seemed more like a normal building, without exuding an overly oppressive atmosphere.

the reason is simple.

Sunlight.

Light shines through the door leading to the outside, and there is also a separate slanted glass window on the side of the roof to let in light.

The clear blue sky and drifting clouds were visible, and green leaves swayed not far from the door, while sunlight scattered into the medical room.

The oppressive atmosphere was instantly dispelled.

Two hospital beds, a few cabinets, and what appeared to be a considerable amount of medicine.

It actually looks quite like a proper medical clinic.

Just as Hoshino Utsunomiya was about to go to the wooden cabinet to rummage through it and check what medicines were available, Meruru pulled his hand and pressed him down onto the hospital bed.

"You might feel a little strange, but please don't move..."

Before Utsunomiya Hoshino could react, and before the doorway, which was not yet closed, could react, Ice Meluru said this and reached out her hand toward his head.

Then, a flash of light appeared.

An incredible power emanated from the light, followed by a gentle sensation that seemed to dispel the slight pain lingering on Hoshino Utsunomiya's head.

This is......

It was a strange feeling that was hard to describe, a very subtle and special experience.

Because he was forced to sit on the bed, facing Meruru who was standing close by, he could easily smell the girl's scent at a very close distance.

Her hair fell loosely, her hand was raised, and she radiated light. Her face, which was usually filled with tears, unexpectedly showed a serious expression.

Just as Hoshino Utsunomiya had envisioned before entering the infirmary, the girl displayed a charm that could be described as a contrast.

Fortunately, Hoshino Utsunomiya won't be easily won over by the witch.

Because compared to the charm that Meruru was exuding at that moment, what he cared about more was...

'magic'

He had heard about it from the system a long time ago, and recently he had also seen the description of the special powers unique to witches in the witch encyclopedia provided by the owl.

To be frank, this was the first time Utsunomiya Hoshino had met him.

The light was genuine magic, not some kind of trickery; the slight comfort emanating from my head was real.

This is supernatural power.

Wow, there's magic too!

Luckily she was a witch, otherwise if she had come to save me when I was about to be stabbed by her, I would have been doomed.

Although Meru on Ice seemed to have cast her magic on him without any warning, it didn't mean she was revealing her identity as a witch to him.

Because, as explained in the witch encyclopedia provided by the owl, each of the aspiring witches present possesses their own unique magic.

It seems to be caused by some kind of witch factor. Before becoming a witch, she can cast spells with a slight intensity. After becoming a witch, the intensity of her magic increases dramatically. She only loses her magic after being reduced to ashes and gaining a certain degree of immortality.

Therefore, in theory, Nikaido Hiro, Sakuraba Emma, ​​and Shitou Arisa should also have corresponding magic.

Of course, Yukishiro, who is already a witch, goes without saying.

Even now, Hoshino Utsunomiya still doesn't know what Yuki Tsukishiro's magic is.

...It can't actually be about controlling body odor or other unpleasant smells, can it? That would be too perverted.

"Phew..." As the light dimmed, Meru let out a long breath, wiped away imaginary beads of sweat from her forehead, and smiled: "In that case, everything should be alright."

"This is... magic?"

Hoshino Utsunomiya asked the question knowingly.

"Yes, my magic is healing magic."

Meruru nodded slightly, shrank her neck a little, and said in a low voice.

"Thank you, that's amazing magic."

Saying some very ordinary words of praise, Hoshino Utsunomiya stood up and walked around to the door that seemed to connect the infirmary to the outside world.

As you approach, you can clearly see the railings around the edge. Perhaps due to the terrain, although it is on the same floor, the door to the infirmary is more like a balcony. Looking down from the railing, you can see a clear difference in height.

The air outside, the sunshine outside, the green shade outside.

Also, looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the 'wall'.

Tall, imposing, and hazy.

It is surrounded by high walls.

"..."

Without saying much, just glancing at him, Hoshino Utsunomiya turned around.

"Alright." A smile returned to his face. "Let's go."

"Actually, if you had told us earlier that you had healing magic, we wouldn't have needed to come to the infirmary."

He glanced at the medicines in the cabinet next to him, but could only recognize the effects of a few of them.

He can only recognize common cold medicines, fever reducers, and painkillers; he can't recognize anything else.

It's probably not of any use.

“Because my magic is only healing… it’s not anything very powerful.” Meluru Ice said with a slightly self-deprecating tone, “If that doesn’t work, I’ll probably still have to take medicine.”

Is medicine comparable to magic?

That makes them quite comparable.

"I don't think I've had a proper meal since I woke up. I see there's a cafeteria on the map, let's go check it out first."

Hoshino Utsunomiya took Meruru Ice's hand and walked towards the doorway, which seemed to be slightly ajar.

The sound of hurried footsteps and clattering came from the doorway.

Hoshino Utsunomiya paused slightly, but quickly regained her composure and pushed open the door to leave.

There was no one at the entrance.

Holding onto Ice Meluru, Hoshino Utsunomiya turned and walked towards the reception room.

Passing through the reception room and then through the entrance hall, the dining hall is the place you can reach from the corridor.

As Hoshino Utsunomiya and Meruru Hikami gradually walked away, the two girls hiding in the storage room around the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick, you go after them first." Seeing the door to the reception room close again and the two figures disappear, Nikaido Hiro quickly nudged Sakura Emma and said to her, "I'll catch up soon."

"Ah, um!"

Emma Sakura nodded vigorously, skipped and hopped to the front of the reception room, peered through the crack in the door, carefully observed for a moment, and then quickly slipped into the reception room.

Its bouncy steps are like those of a lively puppy, striding, leaping, landing, sprinting, and stopping abruptly.

Hiro Nikaido didn't stare at Emma Sakura for long. After confirming that Emma had followed, she turned around, opened the door to the infirmary with a snap, and quickly ran to the cabinet in the infirmary, where she began to rummage through things.

"Not this one, not this one, this one isn't right either..."

She was looking for medicine, a medicine that she thought shouldn't exist in this prison, but might just exist in case.

'birth control pills'

The performances of Hoshino Utsunomiya and Meruru Hikami demonstrate that Hiro Nikaido, who cannot persuade others with words, is actually incapable of doing anything.

Perhaps she could resort to violence again and strike Hoshino Utsunomiya with a stick, just like she did back then, but she wouldn't do it again.

Violence is indeed wrong. Last time, she acted too emotionally, wasting precious time for suicide and also affecting her parents and others.

She will no longer resort to violence.

But that doesn’t mean she can’t do anything.

Hoshino Utsunomiya's goal is to vent her unfulfilled adolescent desires, and the most wrong thing she believes in is the irreversible mistake that inevitably results from the intersection of desires.

What she should do is interrupt any opportunity that could lead to something like this!

Track, monitor, observe, and then leap out at the crucial moment!

They can also drag Emma along to make the scene.

Even if they were incredibly eager, they wouldn't actually engage in real combat in front of her and Emma.

However, if even this can't stop them...

Although he felt utterly helpless, Nikaido Hiro felt he needed to prepare for the worst.

At the very least, we must not let things lead to the worst possible outcome.

So, when Nikaido Hiro saw the cabinet full of medicines in the infirmary, he had an idea.

What if there is?

If it is found, there will be a final insurance policy to prevent things from turning into the worst possible outcome.

Pregnancy and childbirth in such an environment would be a disaster, and we absolutely cannot let things turn out that way.

It's not that she couldn't come back and search afterwards, but she thought that she would definitely have to follow them for a while, and there might not be a chance to turn back in the short term. Since Emma was with her, she should hurry up and check to make sure it was okay.

So she stayed.

Unfortunately...

No matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find any birth control pills.

Sure enough, such a thing doesn't exist here...

In that case, we absolutely cannot let them indulge in their desires!

Nikaido Hiro revealed a resolute look, turned around, and strode forward in the direction the three had left.

Chapter 77 Eating, eating, eating~

Passing through the living room and pushing open the door to the foyer, you arrive at the corridor, where you are greeted by three directions to choose from.
