Whose youth romance story begins with a witch's trial?!

"In short, the key still lies with the Great Witch, right? Maybe the Great Witch has a way to get rid of the 'witch factor' in us. Maybe the Great Witch can take back our magic. Maybe the Great Witch can help us take down the warden and the forces behind him."

Nikaido Shiro summarized the results of everyone's discussion: find a way to find the Great Witch.

"In that case, the next step today is—"

"I went with the idiot rabbit to investigate the Great Witch's documents," Nikaido Hiro said, answering his own question.

"Chang Rong and I are going to pick herbs and flowers for tea, and water the flowers while we're at it!" Sakura Emma licked her lips.

"This detective is conducting a major investigation into Watson... a major investigation into the inside story!" Tachibana Sherry raised her magnifying glass.

"Cleaning the art studio, which has become a complete mess for some reason... Seriously, who did this? There's a huge pile of lime powder and paint buckets leaking from the second floor!" Tono Hannah said angrily.

"Noel No... Lin... Er Noah saw = two, is /, clothes is shirt that ⊙ watch * guard No... Er...!" Shirosaki Noah changed the subject.

"Of course, I'm bringing my top fan to reboot the stage play!" Hasumi Rieya said with a confident shake of her head.

"Uncle, I'll just go to the library... haha," Saeki Misaki said with a wry smile.

While Kurobe Nanoha was jungling, Shito Arisa watched with a look of 'a bunch of vulgar people...'

After everyone spoke in unison, they instantly stared at each other, their expressions tense and ready to fight.

After all, it seems like almost everyone needs to include a white-haired boy in their to-do list. But it's obvious that there's only one Chang Rong, so there's no way to multiply him.

After exchanging glances, everyone turned their attention to Chang Rong, awaiting the white-haired boy's decision.

"what……?"

This ominous feeling... it's kind of like the evidence-gathering phase of the witch trial before.

Since that's the case—

"Hey? That... Xiao Rong?"

Saeki Miria, who had also experienced this scene, heard the alarm earlier this time.

Volume 1: Chapter 90. The Room Where You Can't Leave Without XX

"Hey, even I have a temper, you know, Xiao Rong? You always use me as a shield, do you think I'm Captain America's shield?"

"Ahaha, sorry Saeki-kun... Mainly considering the efficiency of the upcoming exploration, it's definitely more efficient to act together with Saeki-kun, right?"

"Is efficiency the only consideration...? But even if efficiency is the priority, it's ultimately meaningless..."

On the way to the 'Water Crystal Chamber' at the back of the castle, Chang Rong and Saeki Miria chatted idly.

Although Saeki Miria was somewhat helpless and 'angry' at this moment, she didn't say much. She just followed behind the white-haired boy, glancing back every now and then.

"Hmm!" "Look—!?"

Sure enough, the moment Milia turned around, she saw a red flower shrinking back around the corner. However, the colorful ball next to the red flower was clearly slow to react and had to be pulled back to the corner by the red flower.

"Eek!? Ugh, I'm stuck...!"

Then her long golden hair slowly floated up to the tree, but immediately because her overly gorgeous and fluffy lace dress got caught on a branch, she was suspended in mid-air like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll dangling from the sky).

"No problem, no problem, Hannah~ At times like this, just use your Tongbei Fist to punch the tree trunk, and you can get Hannah down!" "You gorilla woman, you really want to kill me, don't you!?"

The delicate, sickly detective girl with blue hair, hiding under the tree trunk, was all smiles as she prepared to elbow the tree trunk, but was immediately stopped by the teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll).

"Woof...!" "Emma...!?"

The black fedora growing above the bushes made a cute barking sound and instantly shrank back inside. But then there was a muffled thud, and a short while later a windproof cycling helmet popped out as if in a swap. It seemed that the two of them had just thought of each other and squatted down in the grass.

Of course, it's also possible that Emma Sakura was instinctively drawn to the aroma of baked bread emanating from Nanoha Kurobe.

"Would trampling on the lawn be considered a mistake...? And picking flowers maliciously...? No, that would be too cruel to the flowers..."

The mysterious hooded, masked woman was also huddled in a corner, but she deliberately stepped on a stone and carefully avoided the surrounding flowers and plants. She stared at Chang Rong's back, blushing and drooling, seemingly lost in her own fantasies.

Although these people are all terrible at hiding and tracking, at least they still have the idea of ​​'hiding themselves'.

Compared to some other guy, he's practically the 'conscience' of the stalking world.

As for that guy—

"Hey! Are you panicked because of the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of you, Milia? But it's alright, I can vouch for you with the reputation of that idol, Hasumi Ryoa, that there's no bad guy standing here, just a passerby who never existed and is about to disappear~"

The blonde idol, Hasumi Rieya, had a paper bag over her head. As always, she struck that half-Tang, half-cool pose, declaring with unequivocal words that she was not the real person.

"Haha, uncle, my stomach hurts so much..."

Saeki Miria could only look away and grit her teeth to continue following Chang Rong.

After Chang Rong used himself as a shield, she said she wanted to "go to the underground cryogenic chamber again." When everyone heard this, they all said, "Great strategy, count me in."

When Chang Qirong countered, "The elevator can only seat two people at a time, right? What's the point of having so many people here in six days? Even if the warden wants to pretend he doesn't see anything, he should at least cooperate a little and give him some face!" everyone looked at each other, and finally agreed that Chang Rong was right.

And so it turned into the current situation, a bizarre scene where none of the group is doing anything productive, and almost all the prospective witches in the prison have followed them.

As I said before, life on Prison Island isn't about fighting and killing, it's about understanding human relationships and navigating social interactions.

Two Japanese criminals made a small mistake. If the warden sees it, he'll just turn a blind eye. Don't let it interfere with your brother's time to watch dramas after get off work.

But if you have 7 or 8 people who come to kick down the door and cause trouble, even if the warden is a guy with nine dots on his forehead, a halo behind him, two holes in his palms, and a cross on his back, he still can't pretend he didn't see it.

Although the owl is essentially a 'dark force' whose affiliation is still unknown, Chang Rong has at least determined, after spending time with him, that the warden is a typical office worker.

Moreover, they are the kind of corporate slaves who think, "Earning money through work doesn't count as earning money; earning money by slacking off is."

Most importantly, this "lazy office worker" boss, soaking wet on the ice, committed suicide.

This creates a lot of room for maneuver. A lazy, unmotivated administrator who loves to slack off, dislikes work, and is indifferent to everything, and whose boss is also a bit of a jerk, is beneficial to everyone's prison life from any perspective.

Basically, as long as it's not a direct confrontation or a deliberate attempt to cause trouble, the warden shouldn't interfere or create unnecessary problems.

The fact that Kurobe Nanoha, this 'five-star good citizen' who hasn't lost her star yet, can still swagger around without being wanted by the warden is the best evidence. Including his conversation with the warden when he and Tachibana Sherry explored the basement, all of this proves that Chang Rong's conjecture is correct.

Chang Rong even considered that if the search for the Great Witch or the mastermind was making no progress, she might as well try to win over the warden instead.

Don't underestimate me! I'm a master of the Wood, having maxed out the potential of White Owl Hellfire. Taming a Goo Goo Goo is a piece of cake for me.

When the time comes, all you need to do is use half of the skills you use to feed the night master at your doorstep to feed the warden, and he won't be able to come back.

"The hidden passage leading to the basement should be just ahead. Has Saeki-kun been here before?"

Two people arrived and picked up seven to see six people. It was very suitable to perform a ball-throwing and catching game. The father had three (six different) model rooms. Chang Yuerong pointed to the crystal room in the middle and asked.

"Huh? Uncle, I've never been here before... Um, Xiao Rong, don't you think anything's strange?"

Saeki Miria desperately tried to signal Chang Rong to be careful of the pack of Bloodhounds behind them, the Toilet War God, Kotomine Kirei.

"...If we just pretend we don't see it, at least they won't go so far as to do something even stranger, right?"

Chang Rong swallowed hard, wiped away his cold sweat, and forced a smile in response.

"Haha, is that so...? That's truly astonishing wisdom."

Saeki Miria chuckled awkwardly. Only then did she realize that Chang Rong wasn't the kind of slow-witted and oblivious boy, but rather a master strategist with great wisdom and strategy.

At least for now, because of Chang Rong's feigned ignorance, the group of prospective witches who had followed along were indeed willing to maintain a superficial 'balance'.

If Chang Rong were to actually shout, "Your disguise is just a joke!", the crystal chamber would probably turn into the starting point of another fierce battle in the next second.

The two walked into the middle of the model room, and only after confirming that the other prospective witches who had followed them did they close the door and breathe a slight sigh of relief.

More precisely, it was a group of people who, after spotting the 'monitoring owl' circling in mid-air, scattered because they couldn't find a suitable hiding place.

This was the first time Chang Rong had ever felt so grateful to the warden…

To be fair, if it's the Galakrond worldview, Chang Rong would really enjoy the feeling of being fought over by a group of people.

Unfortunately, they didn't even give him a grave here, but instead dragged him directly to a cruel world of centuries of loneliness and desolation.

Saeki Miria was right. Chang Rong was not a slow-witted blockhead. Even if he was slow to realize things, he had more or less sensed the unusual feelings of the other girls.

Take Noah Kinosaki for example. This child must have felt the warmth of an older brother from him! It's impossible for her to have any strange thoughts about him. How could such a warm and caring girl turn against her family?

Take Tohno Hannah for example. This young lady must have made up for the regret of being 'served' by the yakuza clones by herself. Moreover, Tohno Hannah likes shoujo manga, not shoujo manga. She can only find herself to resolve her repressed fantasies about shoujo manga. The class difference between the two is too great.

Take Nikaido Hiro, for example. This upright disciplinary committee member probably feels like a piece of rotten wood that will decay if left unattended. So she can only spend time correcting and correcting her own mistakes. Her pride and worldview prevent her from letting this 'idiot rabbit' go unchecked.

As for Kurobe Nanoha, she saw herself as an equally 'despicable and selfish' accomplice, all to facilitate her own secret revenge. She even went so far as to use her body to seduce others and strengthen this 'despicable accomplice alliance.' Unfortunately, she still ended up giving herself to this Sigma man's stomach.

She Yuechangyi, the head of the detective agency, needs no introduction. Liu Zi is the object of her remorse, and also someone who shares her empathy as a fellow 'non-V monster,' and one of only two members and assistants in the detective agency. Before the club president even starts dating, her top priority is passing the human verification code test (although she herself often gets stuck on this, damn traffic lights!).

Leia-sama lacks an audience, and I am one of the few people who can let go of her idol image and show her true self—but Leia's self-expression is really too nonsensical... Her most urgent task is to learn from An-an to talk less.

Ze Du Keke... She sees herself as an irreplaceable family member.

Arisa Zifang is honestly a bit of a fan of people. Maybe she's just not naturally suited to be a masochist... When she met this masochist, her first reaction wasn't to rush up and whip her with a small leather whip until she was groaning and turning into a troll. Instead, she was scared and ran away like a runaway... She can only say that her taste is still quite mild. OD girl went too far, and she couldn't handle it.

Emma is hard to say. Sometimes Chang Rong feels that Sakura Emma seems to really like him, but other times he has a strange feeling that Sakura Emma is treating him like a multi-functional emergency food reserve that she can use to gnaw on, cuddle with while sleeping, or use to satisfy her animalistic desires (?).

In short—none of these witches can currently act as a support character for the main heroine to advance the story! Everyone is a little puzzled!

Chang Rong is currently interacting with different prospective witches using different identities. The purpose of this interaction is not to make the little head replace the big head, but to prevent them from being stimulated for various reasons and deepening their witch transformation.

Rather than saying it's Gala Ge Mu, Chang Rong feels more like she's acting as a cup.

Of course, it's not Feiji... but the 'Holy Grail,' a small wish-granting machine that can respond to and fulfill wishes.

However, Chang Rong is even more hardworking than the Holy Grail. All the cup needs to do is lie on the ground and wait for the seven people to knock out their brains. Finally, UZI, who is left, comes over, holds the cup, and says his wish. Then, Chang Rong just needs to spit black mud all over him.

But Chang Rong, knowing that the main character was secretly plotting, actively probed the inner needs and weaknesses of these strange girls. Afterwards, she would try to satisfy and guide these "witches'" various needs. Occasionally, she would choose some completely incomprehensible 'wrong options,' leading to her being ganged up on and turned into a rabbit-headed rag and teething toy, with even her blankets, pillows, and coats stripped away…

Chang Rong didn't feel that it was always him who was making sacrifices. In fact, he was very grateful to these "preparatory witches" who were all good kids in essence for taking care of him in every way.

If it weren't for everyone taking good care of me, I probably would have been cremated on the very first day of my reincarnation... And afterwards, everyone treated my various erratic behaviors with gentleness and understanding.

This is indeed a story of mutual support and progress, with everyone working together towards becoming better.

But... but Gala's wood flavor is really wrong!!

If Chang Rong had to pick one person who he felt was closest to the "normal romanceable character" in "Normal Gala Gemu"...

"What's wrong, Xiao Rong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Chang Rong waved his hand dismissively, though he did indeed feel his physical condition had deteriorated recently. It was probably due to the significant damage to his body caused by the period of fasting and thirst that followed Coco's execution.

A normal, unconventional, and straightforward 'preparatory witch' who can have a smooth, orderly romance like a Galaguer's love story—it seems that Saeki Miria is indeed more suitable.

However, it's just wishful thinking. After all, this is a prison island where countless murders have occurred, not the paradise of Avalon where one can live a carefree life.
