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

As for Chang Rong herself—

"If you keep kneading like this, you'll really turn into a complete idiot..."

"It's alright, it's alright, just give your body to the uncle... Be true to your desires, Xiaorong..."

At this moment, Jun Zhengqi and Milia, a lone man and woman, were in the Water Crystal Chamber. Jun Zhengqi lay on Milia Jiu's lap as a pillow, feeling the soul-sucking caresses from his head and cheeks, while he couldn't help but reveal a blissful, intoxicated laugh.

Not only Chang Rong, but even Saeki Miria herself had the same expression of a middle-aged man with a perverted look, swallowing her saliva while laughing and rubbing the white-haired boy beneath her who was already indulging in the gentle embrace.

Although I used to pet An'an often, and although An'an's hair felt more comfortable to pet than Chang Rong's, from the perspective of 'feedback' and the overall experience, it was definitely more satisfying to pet this boy in front of me.

So, just like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, the blonde bombshell and the white-haired boy were both willing to rub and touch each other, their cooperation was seamless, and they were full of positive feedback to each other.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a couple on the prison island, purely obsessed with physical intimacy, were quietly formed.

Volume 1: 92. A New Client for the Detective Agency?

"Damn it...damn it...Saeki Miria...that terrifying woman...!"

On the way back to the castle, Chang Rong muttered complaints under her breath while putting her hands on her head, savoring the feeling of Milia violently rubbing her rabbit head.

He had come here to do something important, but Milia had managed to keep him under house arrest until close to noon. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon his exploration of the underground cryogenic chamber and temporarily end it.

However, it wasn't all for naught. After several failed attempts with unwavering determination, and having to continue indulging in the gentle embrace of older men for a long time, Chang Rong finally managed to roll a successful die, escaping Saeki Miria's almost swamp-like maternal glow lap pillow and head pat trap that could endlessly swallow her up.

To be fair, after being tormented by her neighbor, Shan Si felt much less of the chill she felt when facing the eight-story staircase this time, and her heart no longer felt that piercing pain.

Chang Rong and Saeki Miria, one after the other, climbed the ladder that could only play half of "Snake Eater" at most, and came down to the underground area again.

When I came here with Tachibana Sherry before, the elevator was locked and unusable, but this time it was working properly.

However, after taking the elevator down, the two were quickly surrounded by a room that resembled a control room. The decorations were somewhat like those of a research laboratory or a backstage control room for a stage. It was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and control panels.

Next to the 'control room' was a locked door, and above the door was a ventilation duct with its shield removed.

It seems that Tachibana Sherry and Tohno Hannah sneaked in through this ventilation duct before. Later, Tachibana Sherry's violent ice-breaking ritual triggered the old defense system, which failed to lock the door and instead opened it, allowing her to escape.

Although I really wanted to complain to the club president, "Why do you have to crawl into every ventilation duct you see? Are you a mole?", in the end, it was her actions that saved me from exploding in the freezer, so I should thank her.

As Hiro mentioned before, Sherry Tachibana and Emma came back here after Coco Zedo's execution, but they were unable to explore properly that time due to the temperature.

Chang Rong quickly sensed it too; the biting cold air seeped out through the cracks in the door and the ventilation ducts, and the mere amount of this overflowing 'low temperature' made the control room unbearable. If he tried to follow the old trick of crawling through the ventilation ducts, he might survive to crawl through but not to climb back out.

Chang Rong hadn't understood what Hiro meant by "If you want to explore, you can only do so with Arisa," but after coming here in person, he immediately understood.

Without finding a humanoid lighter that can provide a heat source, we wouldn't be able to stay in the freezer for long, let alone this control room.

In other words, I need to figure out how to get along with Arisa first...

Chang Rong felt a headache coming on just thinking about the two sides of Arisa Shito, who could switch between a cold-faced, violent delinquent and an OD-obsessed masochist at will.

While she could at least try to appease the other prospective witches with her 'strange behavior,' Arisa's behavior when she was 'overwhelmed by witchhood' was exactly like Emma's 'energy-absorbing' mode—completely unstoppable...

Otherwise, we might as well bring the club president along. If anything goes wrong, at least we can use the club president's high damage left and right punches to intercept it.

In the end, aside from realizing that "we'll explore the road ahead after we've conquered Arisa Fujiwara" and that "Saeki Miria, that terrifying woman, could become my woman," Chang Rong could only return home with Miria with zero gains.

After returning to his study, which offered little privacy than a public restroom, Chang Rong collapsed onto the sofa and pulled a bell from his pocket, holding it up to his eyes.

Jingle bell~~

A pleasant, calming bell sound emanated from it, allowing Chang Rong to analyze the current situation.

Although everyone's progress toward becoming a witch slowed down somewhat after they came out of the punishment room, overall they were still slowly approaching the 'deadline'.

Emma... is it really a magic that absorbs physical energy? Can that kind of magic really make her rub against and hug me like that?

Back then, there were still some compromises in how they fed Hiro...

Naoya Kaoru...

Ugh—I was supposed to be a master of Galaga, but why am I being pulled back and forth like this?

As a result of his nagging behavior, even his only safe haven, 'Saeki Miria,' has now degenerated into a purely physical and decadent relationship!

I'm afraid I'll only be able to hang out with my good buddy Leia and my sweetheart Noah from now on...

Before he figured out exactly what kind of "monster" he was, Chang Rong didn't really want to get too close to the prospective witches. For this reason, he even personally dismantled several flags.

The reason for doing this is quite simple. First, this is a witch trial. You need to prevent murders on this secluded prison island, or find and execute the murderer witch after a murder occurs. In your spare time, you need to search for the "Great Witch" and ultimately uncover the secrets hidden on this island. It's not about indulging in decadent and extravagant relationships with aspiring witches in their 20s.

Secondly, if they become so intimate that they develop an irreversible special relationship, let alone whether it will cause a landmine-like explosion like the one in the movie "Baosheng Mag," leading to a chain reaction of explosions and ultimately causing all of humanity to be blown to smithereens!

Chang Rong couldn't accept the idea of ​​'dating someone whose fate is unknown'. She couldn't possibly deceive herself into thinking the 'system's' numbers were fake, that being 'unknown' meant being alive, and that she was actually practicing the Dao of Oblivion, so as long as she felt she wasn't dead, she was still alive, right? Although she didn't actually feel like a zombie right now, who could say for sure about these things?

Why not just follow the three-piece mantra of a scumbag: neither take the initiative nor refuse, and not take responsibility... No, no, that's not right. If we don't take the initiative, these people will really explode like landmines due to the increased pressure of becoming witches!

If it weren't for my seniority acting as the Holy Grail, you bunch of young little witches would have already beaten your brains out!

Chang Rong thought of Tono Hannah. After accompanying the young lady on a somewhat boundless 'fairytale experience,' Tono Hannah's witch transformation progress dropped directly from 73% to 35%, indicating that his current 'Garagi Wood Anti-Pressure Operation' was indeed effective and necessary.

Of course, the price for doing so was obvious: Miss Tono's gaze towards him had become somewhat strange. Chang Rong was confident that he could easily coax her onto his sofa, but he would never do that.

Hmm, this kind of fussy, awkward behavior of mine, which is going against the grain of goodwill, feels... kind of familiar...?

Non-existent memories suddenly began to attack Chang Rong, eventually causing her to give up thinking, wrap herself in the small quilt that the 'hairband guard' had brought back, and prepare to drift off to sleep.

------

"Watson, Watson~~~!"

"Uh... President?"

Shirley Tachibana's voice came again, waking Chang Rong from her sleep.

Because she had enjoyed the uncle's lap pillow in the Crystal Chamber, Chang Rong wasn't too sleepy and immediately got up to open the door.

The blue-haired detective at the door had his usual super cheerful, even carefree, smile on his face.

"Hey Watson, how's your exploration with Milia going? Any results?"

[Yeah, the older man's lap pillow and head pats are so comfortable, I've completely become a useless person who can't live without him, lol]

[Nothing much was found. The basement was too cold, and the control panel was locked. The only way to explore the freezer was through the ventilation ducts.]

...If I were to reveal the first option, I'd probably be stuck in the wall and couldn't be pried off.

"Not much to show for it. Where's the club president?"

Chang Rong replied calmly, while Tachibana Sherry immediately raised a magnifying glass and brought it close to Chang Rong's face.

"Stare—Hmm, that's a real shame~"

Fortunately, Tachibana Sherry wasn't a human lie detector like Noah, so she managed to fool him for now.

"I've had a great haul!" Tachibana Sherry raised her right arm, striking a pose to show off her muscles.

"Really? Have you found any clues about the Great Witch?" Chang Rong asked excitedly.

"No, it's just that the detective agency received a new case!!"

"...I did not commission anything."

A cold, low voice suddenly came from next to Shirley Tachibana's cheerful and excited voice.

"Huh, Kurobe-kun?"

Chang Rong then noticed that Kurobe Nanoha was standing next to Tachibana Sherry.

"……Um"

Nanoha Kurobe and Chang Rong exchanged a glance, then a barely perceptible blush rose to their cheeks. They nodded and looked away. It seemed that the caramel cookie incident was still somewhat unsettling for Nanoha.

"Nanoha Kaori said that her important 'hairband' is missing, so she came to the [Monster Detective Agency], which has a long history of solving cases, to help her find it!"

"So I didn't request anything..." Kurobe Nanoka replied helplessly, but judging from her 'whatever, destroy it' expression, it seemed that Kurobe Nanoka had given up on correcting Tachibana Sherry's misunderstanding.

"Multiple crime-solving records...?"

Chang Rong thought for a moment and realized that the detective agency hadn't taken on any cases since it was established.

Oh wait, thinking about it carefully, I actually did start my business. I helped Miss Tono find her 'sewing kit (lock picking tool)', but she immediately handed it back to Nanoha Kurobe, thus beginning my own era of lock picking.

It even single-handedly destroyed an empty hornet's nest, and that was it.

"I can always catch you, Watson, can't I?"

"Don't use your own team members to inflate your stats, you idiot!"

"But there are times when you can't catch him... What is Watson doing during those times? I'm really, really curious...?"

Shirley Tachibana stared at Chang Rong with her empty amber eyes and asked softly.

"【False Evidence】Of course, it's to promote the great achievements of President Holmes!"

How terrifying! I have a feeling that our blue-haired glitch-type detective club president's spiritual pressure has been getting stronger lately... How could that be?

Although at first glance she still seems like that heartless, painless 'monster', Tachibana Sherry seems to be becoming more and more anthropomorphic in a strange direction.

To some extent, the most incompatible person for the serious but socially awkward Nanoha Kurobe is the whimsical but incredibly sociable Sherry Tachibana. The mere sight of these two standing side by side is already quite bizarre. Especially since they almost came to blows (hitting themselves) in the basement due to a misunderstanding.

"'Hairband'... Kurobe-kun, you're still wearing twin tails, aren't you?" Chang Rong looked at Kurobe Nanoha's twin tails under her cycling hat and said with some curiosity.

“...That headband is very important to me, so I always carry it with me instead of tying it to my hair.”

Nanoha Kurobe touched her twin tails, responding somewhat dejectedly.

"It turned out that because I carried it with me all the time, I accidentally lost it!"

Tachibana Sherry smiled and stabbed Kurobe Nanoha in the back.

"...Well, that's because I took it out and left it aside when I went to wash up by the river, and a rabbit snatched it away...!"

"If you had kept your hands to yourself and hadn't touched anything, it wouldn't have been snatched away!"

Tachibana Sherry smiled and stabbed Kurobe Nanoha Kaori in the back again.

"First, it must be because I smell of vegetables that attracted the rabbit..."

"I wanted to wash away the weird smell, but I ended up losing my hairband because of it. Is this what they call fate?"

Sulli Tachibana's triple whammy shocked the world.

"...Waaah!"

"Alright, alright, I understand! You lost your most important hairband by the river, didn't you? We're free this afternoon, shall we go look for it?"
