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

"However, Noah still hopes to do something more practical... Is there anything Noah can do for Sasa?"

"Hmm... This sentiment is enough, isn't it? There's really not much we can do to help Arisa... By the way, Noah, could you get me some cold medicine? It's the one with the blue background and white lettering on the second shelf."

Not letting Noah help might dampen his enthusiasm, so Chang Rong could only get up to wipe Arisa's body, then pretend to be too busy to get away, and casually assign Noah some odd jobs to give him a sense of participation.

"Second row, blue background with white lettering... there are several bottles."

"Just grab one." The good news is that Arisa has indeed started sweating; the evaporation of the liquid can lower the temperature, which is at least a good thing.

"Whatever... um, this one will do." After all, he was an artist, and among the bottles, Noah noticed a small mark on one of them.

The fact that it's marked means it's in use, right? Let's use this one for now.

Despite her family's modest means, Noah still possessed the virtue of thrift and frugality outside of painting. She twisted open the bottle of cold medicine that almost no one had ever used before, and the ease with which she opened the cap confirmed her suspicions. She then handed it to Chang Rong.

"Thank you so much, Noah, you've really helped me a lot!" Chang Rong took the cold medicine and put it on the table next to her. Although Arisa was still unconscious and couldn't take the medicine, she still had to provide Noah with emotional support.

"Then... what else can Noah do?" After rummaging through the medicine bottle and handing it to Chang Rong, Noah obediently sat on the sofa and asked.

"Hmm, how about I draw a picture for her? When Arisa wakes up and sees the drawing that Ms. Balloon drew for her, she'll definitely be very touched, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Chang Rong made a suggestion, and Noah nodded. Then, he took out a drawing board from one of the four-dimensional pockets of his coat, sat down, and began to sketch and paint on the scene in front of him.

And so, Chang Rong stayed by Arisa's bedside, wiping away her sweat, tidying her bedding and pillows, and taking her temperature, taking care of her like a qualified nurse.

Noah, meanwhile, was drawing the scene before him when he unknowingly fell asleep halfway through his drawing.

People came to the infirmary one after another, and they all asked Chang Rong to take over their care. However, Chang Rong was uncharacteristically firm this time and said that she would not go anywhere.

Even when faced with threats of violence from Hiro or Sherry, Chang Rong simply lay down on the bed next to her in a starfish position, indicating that if they had the guts, they could come at her head, but she would never leave the infirmary!

No one had ever seen Chang Rong so earnest and stubborn. Although a certain blue-haired detective had thought of taking advantage of the situation and then telling Chang Rong, "You were the one who said it from the front," to absolve himself of responsibility, considering that Arisa was still lying there in a state of life and death, Sherry's remaining humanity ultimately managed to overcome her desires once again.

"Fine, you idiot rabbit, I'll knock you out today and drag you away—hey, what are you doing! Don't pull me…!"

Sherry not only overcame her own desires, but also forcibly dragged away Hiro, who was unable to overcome his murderous intent, to calm down.

In the end, everyone could only take Noah away from the infirmary, leaving Chang Rong to stay and care for him.

As for Chang Rong, his thoughts were simple—when they were in the underground cryogenic chamber, it was Arisa who stayed by his side the whole time, never abandoning him even when she was exhausted.

The pain and suffering she is currently experiencing are all caused by him. Since that's the case, he must take care of her until she recovers, otherwise Chang Rong will never be able to give him an explanation.

As night fell, the pitch-black curtain obscured the clear sky. Then, after wiping her body, taking her temperature, and gently encouraging her, the sky in the distance on the balcony began to lighten again.

"Hoo..." Chang Rong leaned against the sofa and dozed off.

"Ugh—" The white-haired girl made a weak sound. She opened her red eyes and slowly got up from the hospital bed, leaning against the pillow.

"Hmm...? Are you sweating again—Arisa, Arisa! You're finally awake!"

Chang Rong was immediately jolted awake from her light sleep. Upon seeing the awakened girl in front of her, she almost instantly dispelled all her drowsiness and rushed directly to Arisa's side.

"I...I'm like this—wait!?"

Before Arisa could say anything, Chang Rong hugged Zifang Arisa tightly.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness you're awake, Arisa!!"

"me……"

Am I already in heaven...?

Feeling the warmth and heartbeat of the white-haired boy who was holding her tightly, and feeling the sticky sensation of their skin touching, Arisa's pale cheeks flushed red instantly, and she thought to herself with a dazed look in her eyes.

Volume 1: Chapter 128. Since things have come to this, the only option is to repay him with my body…

"Thank goodness... Arisa, you're awake, and your forehead finally seems to have cooled down—thank goodness! I'm sorry, it's all my fault... If I hadn't suddenly had a seizure, Arisa, you wouldn't have had to force yourself to use magic in the underground cryo-chamber, I'm sorry—uh!?"

When Arisa first woke up, she saw the boy rush over and hug her, apologizing to her repeatedly in a tone as if he had just survived a disaster.

After the initial excitement of being embraced by Chang Rong, Arisa listened to Chang Rong's frantic apologies, and the happy, dreamy smile on her face gradually gave way to a slightly awkward expression.

She frowned, then forcefully pushed Chang Rong away, her eyes fixed on the white-haired boy's gray eyes.

"Chang Rong, if you say 'sorry' again, then I'll... I'll turn into a witch for you to see...!" Arisa Fujito said to Chang Rong, pretending to be angry.

"Hey!?"

Although Chang Rong has been receiving all sorts of threats and harsh words every now and then since arriving on Witch Island and starting to live the life of the male protagonist, Arisa's current threat, "If you do that again, I'll turn into a witch and destroy you," is still too advanced and abstract for Chang Rong.

"Yes, I'm sorry—waaaaaah, I'm so sorry...no, no, that's not right! Anyway, I really feel so bad—eeeeee!?"

"...He's acting like a complete idiot."

Looking at the white-haired boy in front of her, who was startled and then began frantically fighting his left brain against his right, Arisa Fujito sighed and then revealed an extremely gentle smile.

“You really don’t need to apologize, Chang Rong. I just caught a cold by accident, and it has nothing to do with the underground freezer. Besides, it was my own choice. In fact, I’m already happy to be able to use this kind of magic that can only hurt others to ‘help’ someone.”

Arisa Zifang looked at Chang Rong and gave a serious explanation, so that Chang Rong would not have to blame herself or torture herself for this matter.

“I’m the one who really caused you all trouble… I always thought that because I could use fire magic, I wouldn’t catch a cold, but I still caught it by accident, and I’m sorry to have worried you all.” Arisa lowered her head and apologized somewhat awkwardly.

"You didn't give it—cough cough, you're right, Arisa, it seems you still have some self-awareness after all!"

Instinctively wanting to be gentle and say that neither of them was wrong, but the fault lay with this chaotic world, Chang Rong suddenly remembered something. He quickly coughed twice, changed his tone, and adopted a reprimanding posture.

"By stubbornly pushing yourself against the group, you not only failed to reduce everyone's stress, but also caused a lot of trouble for everyone by ruining your own health. So listen up, Arisa, if you feel unwell in the future, remember to tell everyone immediately! If you try to tough it out on your own like this time, I'm going to—spank you hard!"

"Spank, spank your bottom...!" Arisa Shito shuddered.

"That's right, I'll spank you until your butt's redder than a flower, and that's not all! I'll also pinch your cheeks hard and scrub your hair!"

"Ooh ooh ooh..."

Arisa Wisteria made a rather unpleasant sound just thinking about it.

—Please spare me, Arisa-san! Can't we do something normal...?

Although she verbally acted like a sadist, ready to whip you into a spinning top and have a blast, Chang Rong inwardly admitted defeat, realizing that her fragile and pure heart couldn't handle such a risk.

However, if this will make Arisa cherish her body more next time and tell everyone before she faces problems instead of bearing them alone, then this sacrifice will be worthwhile...!

"Anyway, Arisa, you must be careful next time, and you must not keep it to yourself again—come on, take your medicine now."

“Okay…” Arisa was still a little dazed, and she was also immersed in the wonderful scene of being whipped by Chang Rong, so she didn’t pay much attention to the small blue pill that Chang Rong handed her, and swallowed it directly into her mouth and down the water glass.

"By the way, Arisa, your favorite balloon teacher also came to visit you. Although I kept telling Noah not to come, Noah still came very determinedly, saying that she hoped to do something for you, Arisa. She even drew a picture for you."

Chang Rong told Arisa about visiting her in the hospital, hoping it would cheer her up. The arrival of the balloon teacher was indeed effective; Arisa immediately became much more energetic.

"Ugh, did Balloon Teacher come to visit me? And she even drew a picture of someone like me... Hmm, but I can't look like this, I need to at least tidy myself up a bit... Hmm!?"

Arisa Fujito hurriedly tried to tidy up her clothes and appearance, but at that moment, she suddenly realized that her tattered black coat and cape had been taken off, her patched-up 'rock and roll' style long dress was gone, not to mention the black mask she usually used to cover her face.

Sitting on the hospital bed, under the covers, all that remained of his body was a clean, tidy black undergarment that protected his vital areas.

"...!?"

Not only that, the towel and basin on the table next to the hospital bed, and although the sheets were a little damp, her body didn't feel sticky at all... All these signs made Arisa realize that during the time she was unconscious and feverish, it was the boy in front of her who had been wiping the sweat off her body again and again.

And on top of that, I had just given Chang Rong a hug that involved almost full-body contact... Waaaaah...

"Ugh...!" In an instant, Arisa's cheeks began to swell like a kettle.

"What, what's wrong?! Arisa, do you have a fever again?!" Chang Rong hurriedly came over to ask, but the closer he got to Arisa, the stronger the heat radiation emanating from her body became.

"No, no... it's just that if that's the case, then I really have no choice but to repay you with my body—"

"^q^ Huh?"

So, you're saying that once a good person's fever breaks, they'll start talking about marriage? Has the fever really broken? It's like they've had a really high fever!

Arisa's eyes darted around in confusion, her words came out hurried and shy, and her chest heaved faster and faster, her breaths becoming heavier with each breath.

"Huh...? I feel a little dizzy... and my body feels so hot..."

She had just felt shy and hot because she realized that the boy in front of her had seen and touched almost everything. However, at this moment, Arisa Fujito found that her body seemed to be doing something 'strange'.

"I guess you're not fully recovered yet...! It's okay, Arisa, don't think about anything else, just get some rest—wailing!?"

Chang Rong originally wanted to help Arisa lie back down on the bed and cover her with the blanket to continue resting, but before he could reach out and hug Arisa, Arisa took the initiative to press herself against Chang Rong—she reached out and pulled Chang Rong down onto the bed, forcing him to fall on top of her.

"Please...please punish me severely, Lord Changrong...If I could receive your whipping, I would do anything—"

"Arisa? Arisa?? Wait, wait a minute... ugh... ugh... ugh..."

Before she could even figure out what was going on, and before she could even say "sack," Chang Rong felt her clothes being pulled suddenly, and she fell forward, her cheek pressed right against Arisa's face.

Arisa Fujito, who is usually like a little hedgehog, pretending not to be touched and provoking others to keep her distance, but is actually incredibly soft, cute and kind-hearted, is now like a different person, desperately and actively seeking the boy's tongue.

"If I can't be punished by Lord Changrong, then I'll just voluntarily become a bad kid..."

Arisa temporarily loosened her grip, but only to catch her breath. Before Chang Rong could break free from the dangerous distance, Arisa pressed against him again.

The only difference was that this second demand was much bolder, and Arisa's hands, which were gripping her collar, began to explore downwards, unbuttoning her shirt one button at a time.

"Don't suddenly rip my clothes off, Arisa! ? W-what's going on? ? Could it be that this infirmary is really possessed by some kind of ghost, some kind of old-timer's clever trap or something?!"

Why do I always encounter this situation in the infirmary?! No matter who I'm alone with, as long as I'm in the infirmary, a kissing CG automatically triggers?!

And yet, it's always me who gets unlucky—oh right, I'm the only person of the opposite sex on this witch's island...

The shirt on Chang Rong's upper body had been completely unbuttoned, and his white jacket hung open to the sides, revealing the boy's skin. Chang Rong himself only needed to be stripped naked, but Arisa had much more to do.

"Hmm... I... should I be more proactive...? Well then, that would be good... Lord Changrong—"

The balance of power shifted. Arisa Zifang reached under Chang Rong's open clothes with both hands and embraced her. She then continued to caress downwards, gradually searching for the unlock button on Chang Rong's shorts.

"Waaaaaah!? Wait, wait a minute, Arisa, you can't do that!!"

Back then, when I faced Nanoha Kaori's terrifying offensive in the infirmary, I barely managed to protect my innocence with all my might. How could I possibly let Arisa take me down in such a bizarre way now...!

Chang Rong desperately tried to stop Arisa's advance by bracing his legs together. However, Arisa's patience seemed to have been tested. She slightly activated her flames, causing Chang Rong to raise his arms with a loud howl. Taking advantage of this opening, Arisa used both hands to pull off the boy's shorts.

Arisa's sweat, warm and moist under the high temperature, mixed with her 'girlish scent', even shrouded the entire infirmary in a hazy, enchanting atmosphere.

But just when Arisa Fujito was only one step away from getting to eat...

"Ugh...? Suddenly, suddenly I have no strength—"

As if a battery had been removed from her hands, which had been exploring the true meaning of life, suddenly fell limp, and she collapsed onto the hospital bed once again, revealing a comatose expression.

After all, Arisa had barely eaten since she developed a fever, and her recent attack had exhausted her reserve of hidden energy.

"...Huh? Huh??"
