The shining Shoko Toyokawa

The doll lady left by my mother,

The horse at Illyasviel's house, which Aine calls Radish,

There was also Miss Piano, and many familiar beings of Maya, circling around the burning stake, singing and dancing.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and it looked like they were attending a grand bonfire party.

"Miss Witch, Miss Witch, did you deceive Xiaochu and betray her?"

Mr. Rhinoceros Beetle's voice is very sweet and sounds very cute, but it is this voice that is accusing the witch of her crimes.

The Witch's gaze was dull, like a pool of stagnant water, reflecting Mr. Rhinoceros Beetle with his elytra spread out and his wings trembling slightly.

"And you're taking advantage of her love for you unilaterally, doing things for you that she doesn't want to do in return?"

"This is not good, Miss Witch!"

Mr. Rhinoceros Beetle made a big cross with his front two feet.

"Do you admit your sin?"

Of course I admit it.

This is a sin that the 'witch' can never deny.

But when she wanted to confess,

But I found that I couldn't open my mouth no matter what.

Through the reflective shell of Mr. Rhinoceros Beetle, she discovered that

It turns out that my mouth is sewn shut with gray thread...

In psychology, the term "grey lies" is often used to refer to lies that evade emotions and responsibilities, thereby escaping one's own emotions and the expectations of others.

It is the perfect way to sew up the mouth of the witch lady who is full of lies and always avoiding other people's emotions.

"Hehe," Mr. Rhinoceros Beetle laughed innocently, "We were afraid that Miss Witch would tell some beautiful lies to deceive people again, so we sewed Miss Witch's mouth shut~"

"Well, Miss Witch, do you admit your crime against Xiaochu?"

The 'witch' struggled to raise her head, then... let her head and buttocks droop again.

Golden and aquamarine hair dances in the firelight and heat,

The two are tangled together, like a beginner knitting a piece of woolen cloth with two different colors of wool.

The meaning of nodding can be understood instantly even if there is a language barrier between the two parties.

It stands for 'yes'...

"That's too much! That's too much!"

Mr. Rhinoceros Beetle angrily waved his huge "front horn" left and right, like a child swaying left and right when angry.

"You clearly know that Xiaochu loves you so much!"

"Guilty, Miss Witch is guilty!"

It picked up a bundle of firewood from the ground with its horns and threw it into the fire where the witch was executed.

The flames climbed up the firewood and instantly ignited them all. The flames that had originally only teased the red and black skirt of the witch lady,

Immediately rushed to her knees,

"Hee hee hee"

Seeing the witch being punished, everyone laughed like children, holding hands and spinning in circles again.

"Miss Witch Huh,"

Affected by the flames, until the circles stopped,

The witch saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was the carrot from Ying Lili's family.

"You hid your true identity from Aine-chan, but compared to your true sins, it's only a drop in the bucket!"

"If it weren't for your hint, Aine-chan would never have been so extreme, and she wouldn't have been burdened with such a heavy sin in the end!"

Radish's expression is too rich, as if it jumped out of a Disney animation.

"Do you admit that this is also your sin?"

Facing the accusation, the witch nodded again and admitted her guilt.

"Bah! Bah!"

Radish cried excitedly, raised his front hooves high, and then dropped them heavily to the ground, shaking the earth slightly.

"Go to hell, you instigator!"

It kicked with its hind legs and kicked another bundle of firewood into the fire.

The flames rose, immediately engulfing the witch's skirt, and finally stopped at the height of her waist.

Everyone giggled and spun in circles so fast that Miss Witch could only see their afterimages.

"Thump, thump, thump?"

"Thump, thump, thump?"

Rather than speaking, Miss Piano seems to be more willing to use music to "speak".

Before the "circling" stopped, the melody of "Symphony of Fate" began to ring out around the stake.

"A long time ago, there was a child named Saki who came into this world,"

After Miss Piano finished her opening remarks, she gracefully bowed to the witch.

After the ceremony,

The black and white keys on it began to dance again, inserting a gentle transition.

"If you ask Saki if she is happy, her answer will definitely be that she is happy every day, but——"

"Such a dreamlike happiness came to an abrupt end the day Saki's mother died..."

The piano melody becomes sad and melancholy,

"At that time, Saki didn't even know the truth about her mother's death,"

"Dad told her that he would work hard,"

"But before Dad even started to 'work hard', he was kicked out by the Toyokawa family..."

"Although Saki doesn't understand what happened, she firmly believes that her father will work hard, and she will also work very hard!"

"Whether it's studying or band matters, she will definitely be able to do it just like before—"

"Saki at that time believed so!"

The piano melody became more and more cheerful, but when it reached its climax, it suddenly stopped.

"Dad said he would try hard,"

"I tried my best to drink a lot of wine and sleep soundly at home..."

"There's no other way. Saki can only work part-time to support the family."

"Although it is very difficult, Saki's heart is still full of hope. She firmly believes that her father can get back on his feet."

"I still believe that CRYCHIC is a community with a shared future, and we can be together for the rest of our lives..."

"But... that's just her wishful thinking,"

The piano keys trembled, and the melody of "Moonlight" mixed with the sound of raindrops reached the witch's ears.

"Failed,"

"Failed…"

“Failed!”

"She was busy working and taking care of her father, so naturally she had no time to attend CRYCHIC rehearsals,"

"None of this is Saki's fault,"

"It's just fate,"

The piano lady's voice was so gentle that it was almost fatal, as if she were Saki's defender.

"!!!"

The Witch looked up in disbelief.

Tears gradually appeared in the golden eyes.

"But this is just the end of the story!"

The piano is an instrument that never lacks turning points in the melody.

"Everything that happened afterwards was Saki's fault!"

Before the 'witch' could be moved, it was snuffed out by her own 'piano lady'.

Chapter 94: Saki, are you happy? ("Ascending to God")

"It's all Saki's fault!"

As if she was afraid that the "witch" didn't hear clearly, the "piano lady" repeated it again.

"Quitting CRYCHIC abruptly, hurting Deng and everyone, faking my death and deceiving everyone, all of this is Saki's fault!"

"Hey, Miss Witch, don't you know how sad Xiao Deng and the others will be?!"

"All of this is Miss Witch's fault!"

At this moment, the melody produced by the piano lady is no longer a song or music.

It's like someone is pressing keys on the keyboard.

The sound it made was chaotic and sharp,

The piano lady's friends were all so disturbed by the piercing sound that they covered their ears.

"Miss Witch, you are guilty!"

"You abandoned me and everyone else without permission. You are absolutely guilty!"

This time, before the witch confessed,

Miss Piano raised a bundle of firewood,

"guilty!"

"guilty!"

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, firewood fell into the fire.

The rising flames engulfed the witch's swan-like neck.

She could only hold her head high to avoid the flames burning her eyes.

If there really is a hero who can save people from suffering in this world,

At this critical moment, he should definitely appear.

But unfortunately, even if there is such a hero,

It was impossible for him to save a hopeless 'witch'...

"Great!"

The people gathered around the witch who was about to be burned to death, cheering as if they had won a great victory.

As the cheers died down, the final judgment began.

"Witch 様, Gui'an,"

Because her vision was blocked by the flames, Maya could not see clearly who the final judge was.

But even if she couldn't see clearly, the witch instinctively knew who it was.

That was my mother's legacy, a doll more important than the piano, but in the end, it was still abandoned by me...

"Hey, witch, are you happy?"

Happiness is a very subtle concept.
