Volume 1: Chapter 108. Moonlit Tea Party/Martial Arts Tournament
"Yin Zhenqi, yes! Xue Yili, you're stealing again! You ran off to find Chang Rong, didn't you? He's clearly my stupid knight! Is your brain only filled with your own Watson? Humph...! As expected, there are no so-called good girlfriends in the upper class, only pathetic relationships based on various interests that break at the slightest touch!"
"Hehehe, Hannah was sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you up. I definitely didn't mean to ignore Hannah and sneak away!"
Faced with interrogation from her best friend Hannah Tono, Sherry Tachibana responded with a lie without batting an eye.
"Um... is this really okay? Although I impulsively sneaked out of the cell, thinking about it carefully, isn't the situation super bad? Everyone's here, doesn't that mean if the warden finds out, we'll all be wiped out on the spot...?"
Saeki Miria scratched her cheek with some worry and whispered that her 00-year-old hot girl JK nature made her impulsively choose to join the tea party after seeing the text message. However, her mature and complete experience as a corporate slave made her start to doubt whether her behavior was too risky, whether the benefits were disproportionate, and whether she was being reckless.
If it were Sawatari Coco, she would probably mock Saeki Miria for running away and still being so timid; it's so embarrassing wwwww.
"What a beautiful rainbow... and it even lasts through the night... Hmm, Noah feels challenged! Noah has decided to draw a rainbow too, he can't lose to this kind of magic that has nothing but dazzling colors!"
At first, Noah Kinosaki was yawning and looked like she hadn't woken up yet. However, after arriving at the flower field, the cool, soothing summer night breeze made her feel much more awake. When Noah Kinosaki discovered that the rainbow was still hanging high in the night sky, her bloodline as a balloon artist instantly took over. She even forgot about how to drug Chang Rong or help Xi Luo catch her cheating, and instead started to study how to surpass that rainbow in terms of artistic papermaking.
"No, I didn't expect you to be willing to play with me... Well, as expected, Chang Rong, you're just continuing to punish me for the unforgivable sin I committed in the kitchen that day...! In that case, I guess I'll have to be whipped and tortured by you properly... Hehe, hehehe..."
"Whoa! Don't suddenly raise your hand and pounce on me, Arisa-san!?"
Arisa Fujito unexpectedly responded to the saturation rescue, but like all the participants, the masked arsonist's motives were also impure to the point of being pure.
After the last battle at the "Purgatory Diner," if Chang Rong hadn't already known that Arisa's "taboo" was probably "doing wrong things without being punished," the whole team might have been wiped out because of such a ridiculous and absurd reason.
After all, apart from Nikaido Hiro, everyone else is a very gentle and kind good kid. Even though Arisa has made such a big mess, they won't really scold her. But that might actually make Arisa feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Chang Rong immediately and sternly reprimanded Zifang Arisa for her smugness and lack of respect for cooking. Her overly casual behavior almost hurt everyone—most importantly, the rabbit they had finally caught turned to charcoal before even getting a sip of soup!
As a result, Chang Rong's torture of Arisa was somewhat influenced by personal grudges. If Emma and others hadn't come to mediate, Arisa would probably have been thoroughly scolded and left in a state of high fever.
After that, Arisa's attachment to Chang Rong grew even stronger... At least in the past, Arisa would have basically ignored this kind of mass texting behavior, but now she would respond immediately, and upon arriving at the scene, she would immediately rush to Chang Rong's side and ask her lord to whip her.
"Q Oh my*, U under the moon-, starry river, flower field! {Isn't this the best stage for the umbrella performance?! Hehe, you really are my number one fan, Ba Changrong, you even managed to find a stage that suits my temperament so well in a place like Prison Island! I really can't do anything with you, so I'll just sing a few songs for you! As for the appearance fee, it doesn't need to be much, just pat your head as always will be fine!"
Lianli saw Yi Leiya praising the flower-filled Sitian at night, and immediately felt a surge of desire to perform after coming over. However, in addition to her desire to perform, Lianli now also had an uncontrollable urge to be petted, and kept blinking to indicate that she wanted to be petted and touched.
"Eh!? Even Xiaoya is going to steal my niche... Waaah, I knew it! I'm just the kind of guy who gets bored easily and gets discarded without a second thought..."
"No, no, no, Saeki-san, Ryota-sama meant she wanted me to give her a lap pillow and pat her head...!" Chang Rong quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding.
"So, Xiao Rong, you only pretended to be like that to secretly learn Uncle's techniques...!? So, all that happened before... was just your acting..."
"No, Saeki-kun!? I...I really love being rubbed by Saeki-kun...!" Chang Rong blushed, feeling embarrassed and shy, but still had to shout out to explain that the pure and sacred physical relationship between the two of them was absolutely without any falsehood.
"Is that so? Then I feel a little relieved, Uncle..."
Saeki Miria, who was originally the most emotionally stable and least susceptible to witch transformation, began to show signs of impending collapse under his manipulations. This made Chang Rong increasingly doubt whether he was truly a master of the art of witchcraft.
I'm asking who, as a serious male protagonist, can turn a safe bet into a minefield?
"Uuuuuuu..."
Sakura Emma was unusually silent, and even rushed towards Chang Rong without seeing him. The pink-haired puppy remained silent, only moving its upper and lower lips.
Although it's unclear why she's unusually quiet today, the muffin crumbs at the corner of her mouth provide some evidence that can be used in the upcoming 'dessert thief trial'.
"...Tsk, I got tricked by that idiot rabbit."
Nikaido Hiro sighed in exasperation; the massive army of prospective witches that had surged in had completely disrupted their original plans.
"Hmm... so this is what they call a tea party? It feels... not bad."
Although Kurobe Nanoka still had a frown on her face, she was not disgusted by the scene in front of her.
She has always deliberately cultivated a cold and aloof image of a lone wolf because of the inevitable fact that "everyone will eventually kill each other and die." But Kurobe Nanoha herself actually wants to experience the wonderful memories that young girls should have.
To atone for her sins, to save her sister, and to seek revenge, she almost sacrificed two years of her life. But Kurobe Nanoha never imagined that the beautiful things she had abandoned in order to destroy Prison Island would now be found on the island, in these aspiring witches who are "sinners."
"...It seems the so-called alliance has fallen apart. Oh well, let's make this a real 'tea party' and enjoy it."
Seeing the seemingly unbreakable Iron Alliance, Alliance Number 1, Tachibana Sherry, was dragged away and interrogated by Tohno Hannah, while Alliance Number 2 succumbed to the gentle embrace she longed for. Hero could only sigh helplessly and announce the disbandment of the Iron Alliance. Then, he took out his notebook and began to record the laughter and merriment of everyone at this already 'incorrect' tea party.
------
"To be honest, I never expected... I never expected that I could actually have a tea party like this in a flower field under the moonlight... I always thought this was something that only happened in fairy tales...!"
Hannah Tono knelt in the flower field, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and spoke to Chang Rong.
As a 'hypocritical young lady', she had never even participated in a regular tea party, let alone a tea party in such a dreamlike environment, bathed in the Milky Way and surrounded by flowers.
"Yes, yes, my impression of tea parties is usually that they are in the sleeper carriages of green trains, with a few people sitting around a thermos, eating sunflower seeds and drinking tea... But it's a pity that if it weren't for that pink-haired mouse, this tea party would at least have some tea and snacks - right, Sakura-kun~?"
"kiang~!?"
Chang Rong smiled and spoke to the pink-haired puppy beside her, which then let out an adorable yelp that was hard to tell whether it was feigned or genuine fear.
"These are the pancakes I hid! I only ate half of one! I even sold my personal belongings (a blanket) to get this 99K good stuff from Kurobe-nee, and you ate them all! Are you the kind of stupid dog who, as soon as you smell something delicious, will dig it out without hesitation and then shove it into your belly with both hands?!"
"Waaaah! I'm so sorry, Chang Rong-jun, um... how about you punish me for being so greedy and naughty... hehe...!"
Sakura Emma stuck out her tongue in response to Chang Rong's scolding, then skillfully lay down on the ground, hooked her arms and raised her legs, exposing her belly and making a guilty expression, inviting Chang Rong to vent his dissatisfaction by wantonly torturing her.
"This, this is Arisa Fujito's character design, right..."
Chang Rong quickly swallowed and looked away. When they first met, this silly dog was only charmingly sucking her fingers. Later, when she hugged and cuddled him, she inexplicably got her lips bitten. After that, it was as if Sakura Emma had unlocked her full potential, and she started throwing out all sorts of clever ideas and little tricks like they were free.
Luckily, I'm a Sigma man. If I were one of those fragile, older guys, I probably would have been completely bewitched by Emma Sakura and lost all sense of reason!
As Chang Rong squatted down next to Sakura Emma and stroked her hair and head, she thought to herself that she was indeed worthy of being herself.
Speaking of Arisa, Arisa Fujito and Nanoha Kurobe, the two "lone wolf" partners, were sitting not far away. They were neither too close to the noisy crowd nor huddled in a corner like they had in the restaurant and reception room at the beginning.
Considering Arisa's flushed face and Nanoha's subtly relieved and happy expression beside her, Chang Rong decided it was best not to go over and cause any trouble. Perhaps the sisters simply preferred this more intimate sense of distance.
Moreover, they are actually the shy type who don't know what to say when there are many people around. In the outside world, if you force someone with this kind of personality to go up and toast everyone, wish them a happy new year, or 'perform a talent,' the worst that will happen is that everyone will be embarrassed and unable to get out of the situation.
But this is a prison island where witches are imprisoned. Forcing them to have unnecessary social exposure will really make them explode. The traces of Arisa's previous explosion haven't even been completely erased yet.
One can only hope that when they face themselves, they'll remember that they're actually 'lone wolves who don't like getting too close to others'...
On the other hand, Noah and Shirley Tachibana formed a rather unusual duo.
"Hiss, hiss—hmm, that should be fine, Noah believes in you!"
Little cotton-padded jacket Noah Shirosaki kept spraying paint on some things, and then solemnly handed them to Sherry Tachibana beside him.
"Hehe, leave it to me, the president of the Monster Detective Agency! You know, our agency has a perfect record of zero negative reviews so far! Hehehe!"
Tachibana Sherry took the things that looked like colorful flower petals, held them in her palm, and struck a strange pose of gathering power.
"What is that gorilla woman doing now... Wait, that pose, isn't that the pose she used when she threw the 'neutron star' while flying the kite?"
Hannah Tono noticed Sherry Tachibana's strange posture and suddenly remembered that Sherry Tachibana's starting stance when throwing the compressed kite was the same.
Sure enough, the next second—
"Ultimate Move: Reverse Galaxy!!"
brake!!!
Tachibana Sherry finished charging up and assumed a throwing stance. Accompanied by a howling hurricane and swirling petals, an 'artificial rainbow' was forcefully thrown from Tachibana Sherry's hand in the next instant.
The once empty sky was instantly cut by several bright lines of paint, as if lines were drawn across the sky, creating a rainbow trail.
It turns out that Noah had been spraying paint onto the petals, using magic to gather all the paint in one place. Only after Shirley Tachibana threw it did the paint start to fall from the petals in mid-air, creating an artificial rainbow in the air.
“Look, look, Hero! Our Noah is a genius… no, an inventor in the art world!”
Chang Rong was so moved by this dazzling scene that she cried tears of joy and grabbed Xi Luo, overwhelmed with emotion.
"It is indeed beautiful, but... it is wrong to litter chemicals and non-biodegradable materials."
Hiro smiled for less than five pixels, then raised an eyebrow and ruthlessly pulled out the Death Note to record it.
"No, that's not right, Hiro-chan! Noah-chan's spray paint can be magically recycled! And Sherry-chan threw out flower petals, which are not non-biodegradable, so your theory is wrong!"
"No, that's right! Emma's right, yoshi yoshi yoshi yoshi!" "Hehehe, Chang Rong-jun...~"
Chang Rong, who was struggling to persuade Hiro not to dampen the child's enthusiasm, immediately agreed after hearing Emma's analysis, happily rubbing her fur to show that she was right. Emma also skillfully showed a submissive expression and enjoyed the petting, occasionally sneaking a glance at Nikaido Hiro beside her. Although her expression wasn't exactly provocative, it somehow looked like one.
“Sakuraba… Emma—貳澪?栮兒尹〨O&巴?二q`u〔n—!!”
Nikaido Hiro's forehead was covered in veins, and he almost crushed the pen in his hand.
After Noah Kinosaki created the artificial rainbow, idol Rie Hasumi started her concert as the two rainbows met in the sky.
"ギリギリ爱?~キリキリ武い?~"
"Oh my gosh! Rhea-sama! Rhea-sama is the best, oh my gosh!"
On stage, Rie Hasumi jumped around energetically, while her top fans went wild with excitement. Although Hannah Tono initially wondered, "Is a tea party really this crazy?", she quickly joined in, impressed by Rie Hasumi's undeniably captivating stage presence.
"Phew—I never expected that I'd get to indulge in my idol fantasies again before the stage play! It's all thanks to my number one fan! So, the next song will be dedicated to my fan! As a reward, you have to rub my head after I finish singing! Just 5 minutes... no, 10 minutes, no, 15 minutes—"
"Are you going to sing or not, Kora?!"
The nagging and fussy Hasumi Ryouya eventually made Arisa lose her temper and complain.
"—"
As for Chang Rong, the 'chief fan' mentioned by Hasumi Ryoya, he was somewhat dazed looking at the noisy and 'dreamy' scene that seemed unreal.
"..."
Chang Rong silently took out her phone, opened the Witch App, and pointed Ze Du Ke Ke's profile picture at the farcical scene in front of her that had nothing to do with a 'tea party'.
Although he knew that the stinky little V could no longer use the [clairvoyance] magic, he still wanted to tell Coco that the 'first time around' she had witnessed was not the inevitable ending.
There must be some way to get everyone out of here. There must be a chance for everyone to gather together again in the outside world, just like today, carefree and noisy.
Did you see that, Coco-chan?
"Okay! So the next song needs a backup dancer, and my top fan, you're the one!"
"Huh?"
Chang Rong, who was holding her phone, was startled when Hasumi Ryoya's hand suddenly reached out to her.
"Wait, wait, wait! When it comes to dancing, it's obvious that the idiot knight should be dancing an elegant duet with this young lady!" Tono Hannah immediately stood up to object.
"Um... I can rub against Chang Rong-jun too!" Sakura Emma quickly raised her hand.
“Your thing has nothing to do with dancing! Let me do it. Just take this whip and whip me as much as you want…” Arisa Fujito quickly agreed.
