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

The result of being mischievous was being nudged and tossed around by an angry golden retriever.

"Well, let's forget about stepping on landmines... Actually, right! [False evidence] If we rehearse in the entryway, all the popularity will slip away through the front door!" Chang Rong made up an excuse on the spot.

"What...! That won't do! I... I understand, Chang Rong. I'll definitely be careful to avoid rehearsing in places like this next time!"

—To be honest, I feel that this reason is even more ridiculous than stepping on a landmine...?

I have absolutely no idea what Hasumi Ryouya's criteria for a 'clumsy excuse' is.

"However... if I have you as my number one fan, Chang Rong... then popularity... doesn't really matter, right? Even if I can only be your idol, that's enough for me."

"Um—Leya, Leya...?"

Chang Rong blushed instantly at Renmi Ryoya's abrupt and surprisingly powerful statement, as if he had been hit by a critical strike.

"But speaking of belonging only to myself... what's with Emma, ​​Chang Rong! I thought that room was specially prepared for me by you, but Emma said it was her territory instead... Anyway, there can only be one dog, and as my number one fan, I won't allow you to touch Emma. If you want to touch her... you can only touch me!"

"Pfft!?"

The power of a golden retriever with its fur standing on end was not to be underestimated. Chang Rong had just regained his balance when he was once again nudged and knocked senseless. In the end, he was forced to soothe and calm the dog for a long time before he could barely quell Leia's anger.

What if I bump into Emma again and get all messed up by her because I smell like Rhea...?

After sending a mass text message informing everyone that "planting pea shooters is prohibited in the open space in front of the entrance," Chang Rong walked into the entrance and entered her bedroom/study.

In fragmented memories, this abandoned room was temporarily converted by Furt into a darkroom for developing photos, and the photo in her hand must have been developed from it.

"Hey Coco, this room used to be where the old lady developed photos. Speaking of that old lady, she was something else! Back in the day, she and I scored 81 points together! And that camera Rongrong has helped me solve a lot of difficult cases. She's practically a crime killer!"

Chang Rong held up her phone, displayed Ze Du Ke Ke's profile picture, and said with a touch of emotion as she looked around the 'bedroom'.

"In short, what I want to say is—we're both in the information space, look at others and then look at you. If there's going to be a 'next playthrough'... try harder, and stop dragging the information space down, Coco-chan."

Chang Rong liked Hakimi's profile picture.

Instead of constantly emphasizing that Zedu Coco has left, it would be better to say that the child is the earliest seed player to prepare for the 'next cycle'. At least this would make Chang Rong feel a little better, as if she would always have a chance to meet Coco again.

Since the quilt had disappeared as usual, Chang Rong gave up her desire to sleep in the room and wandered around to the sunroom.

"Huh... Chang Rong? You idiot knight, did you also find out about this secret door from Emma?"

The glass sunroom, which should have been quiet and deserted, was already occupied by a wealthy young lady, Hannah Tono, dressed in a gorgeous lace dress.

Because a mass text message had been sent out earlier stating that the investigation was temporarily concluded, Hannah did not inquire further about the progress of the underground cold storage investigation.

She held a fan in one hand and gently stroked the petals of the evergreen flowers blooming on both sides of the room with the other.

Emma?

"Hmm, if I hadn't heard Emma and Léa's commotion, I wouldn't have known there was such a shortcut door here... Honestly, this room is perfect for me! I've only come here a few times before because I thought it was too far, I feel like I've been missing out..."

Hannah Tono sat on the recliner, her expression a mix of happiness and a bit of sullenness.

"It's a good thing you didn't come earlier, Miss, otherwise you might have been bitten by the dog."

"Huh...!?"

Hannah Tono was so frightened that she stood up from her chair and blinked, unable to fathom where such an evil pink-and-white furyhound could come from in a place like this.

"But speaking of which... the flowers here are really beautiful, much prettier and more vibrant than those in the flower field. Is someone taking care of these flowers?"

Hannah gently stroked the petals and asked.

"Yes... someone must have taken good care of these flowers. By the way, speaking of which... they are still here after all."

Chang Rong responded gently but with a touch of sadness. Then, as if remembering something, he rummaged through a corner drawer in the sunroom and took out a tea set.

"Huh? What's this...?" Hannah asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"Although the tea set is still here, the flower tea has unsurprisingly all withered... It's okay, we can just pick some more later."

Chang Rong carefully stroked and examined the tea set in her hands, then put it back in its original place.

"Tea set? Chang Rong, do you even know how to brew tea?"

"Hmph, for some reason, I've dabbled in it a little! If there's a chance next time, please let me brew a cup of flower tea for you, Miss, to make up for the regret of the previous flower tea party, how about it?"

"Hmm...! Okay, sure! Of course, no problem!"

Hannah Tono blushed and nodded hastily in agreement, while Chang Rong smiled and left the room.

"What's going on...? Was that idiot knight really this handsome...?"

After Chang Rong left, Tono Hannah, her cheeks still flushed, murmured softly.

She even knows how to make tea! That's way too much!

However, I always felt that Chang Rong... looked a little forlorn when he said he would make tea for me...

If I were a real young lady, would I be able to say something authoritative and powerful to encourage him and boost his spirits?

Hannah Tono sighed and thought to herself, but she quickly cheered up and continued sewing everyone's dolls in the sunroom.

Rather than pretending to be a rich young lady, it's better to do what Tohno Hannah can do—that's what that idiot knight would say, right?

Hannah Tono thought with a smile.

After leaving the sunroom, Chang Rong encountered Sakura Emma in the living room.

"Chang Rongjun! Um, that... woof...!"

"Emma—Pfft!!"

The child seemed to be really impatient. This time, there was no need for the usual "huddling in the corner to seduce" part. Instead, upon meeting, the child abandoned all formalities and pounced on the child, rubbing against him frantically.

Come to think of it, Nana seems to be the same type; when pushed to the limit, she'll switch to a more direct approach...

Chang Rong recalled that time in this room when another pink-haired girl confessed her feelings to him in such an abrupt way.

"My, my kidneys—" Although the abdominal wound had stopped bleeding and begun to heal, the violent impact was still quite painful.

"Huh? Waist, kidney... Could it be that Chang Rong-jun, you were really... by Sherry-chan while you were underground—"

Having caught the key words, Emma Sakura, who had been smiling innocently at him just a moment ago, suddenly turned her eyes into nothingness, staring intently at him and whispering to herself.

"No, no, no, it was just a casual remark...! We were already working our hardest on the investigation back then, we didn't have time for any other nonsense!"

Chang Rong quickly declared that the truth would prevail, and that nothing had happened between her and Tachibana Sherry. It was even more impossible that she had been kissed and nibbled on by Tachibana Sherry and Fujiwara Arisa while she was unconscious.

"Is that so... That's good then... But it's still really strange, Changrong-kun. Why didn't you choose me as your companion back then? Why was our little sunroom, which was just between Changrong-kun and me, exposed? Why... does Changrong-kun smell like Rya-chan...?"

"Mmm..."

Faced with Emma Sakura's question, who was staring at him intently with a smile, Chang Rong swallowed hard, unsure how to respond.

Could it be that the pink-haired girl is actually all black inside?! It seems like Emma is the kind of person who can unleash terrifying power far exceeding her normal abilities under certain circumstances…!

"Hey... Changrong-kun, we became friends in the first place, but why does it feel like you're being dragged around by all sorts of weird girls lately? Even Leia-chan, who shouldn't be on the racetrack at all, has squeezed in and is even sharing your little apartment with me... This can't go on..."

—If I told Emma at this moment that there would be another Tono Hannah as a permanent NPC in the sunroom, would she just pounce on me and knock me to the ground...?

"Who is truly the one who should be chained up—kiang!?"

Seeing that Emma seemed to be about to do something amazing, Chang Rong quickly grabbed Emma's head and rubbed it wildly, while gently biting Emma's soft and hot earlobe with his teeth.

"Chang... Chang Rongjun...!? Ugh, not there...! Woof woof...!?"

"Yoshi yoshi yoshi yoshi—you're just a silly little dog, yet you dare to criticize your master. I'll show you who's in control...take this...!"

"Waaaaah?! It's so itchy...hehe—waaaaaah!?"

Sakura Emma was caught off guard by Chang Rong's sudden attack and soon collapsed on the sofa, sticking out her tongue and looking satisfied with her oily face.

—I was wrong, Professor Hiro. I never expected that what you taught would actually be so useful…!

I was harassed in various ways by Hiro, a ruthless teacher who had long since abandoned his teaching certificate, in the library. I never thought that these harassment techniques would actually come in handy one day.

Of course, if I were to excitedly go to Hiro and say, "Your teaching is excellent, I have successfully tamed the pink and white little dog," I'm afraid I would just make this teacher furious again, and then he would repeat "You idiot rabbit, I'll butt you to death!" while increasing the amount of physical punishment...

"Anyway... Emma, ​​you are my first friend here and my gentlest companion, and that will never change. You will always be special to me, so don't belittle yourself, okay?"

After bravely fighting the little silly dog, Chang Rong stroked Emma's hair and said with a smile.

"...Yeah, hehe, I know, Chang Rong-jun."

Emma Sakura nodded contentedly.

“Then I’ll go first… Huh?” Chang Rong got up to leave, but her sleeve was tightly grabbed by Sakura Emma.

"Um... just now... could we do it again? If, if Chang Rong-jun could be a little harder, a little more intense..." Sakura Emma swallowed, licking her tongue as she spoke with flushed cheeks.

Her appearance was like some kind of alluring thing, making people want to pounce on her and vent their desires, filled with an indescribable demonic charm.

But who is Chang Rong? He is a man who has transcended vulgar interests, a true Sigma man!

"Please spare me ^q^..."

The Sigma man, pale and emaciated, clutched his back and trembled as he said he would definitely do it next time.

The golden retriever is fierce, and the pink puppy sucks a lot. If these two were to attack together, hehe, I would already be dead!

Originally, I wanted to reminisce about the fragmented memories of the older generation, but now I feel so precarious, is there still a chance to reach the other side?

I have this feeling that halfway through, I'll be dragged down and stripped bare by those junior professionals...

Thank you so much for the treasure chest! I'm incredibly grateful and deeply thankful. I bow down and meow in gratitude...!

Volume 1: 123. The Nailia Caterpillar

"Xiao Rong? How are you? Have you finished your relaxation session? Do you feel like your mind has become a little clearer?"

Inside the library, Saeki Miria, who was fiddling with her phone, saw the white-haired boy walk in and immediately put down her phone to greet him and ask Chang Rong.

"I am fully aware that I am walking on thin ice right now, and if I take the wrong step, I will be completely doomed."
