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

When "I Push Number 2" in the video became more and more powerful, defeating the witches one by one, I admit I got a little anxious, and I even cried.

When I push the straw blanket, I can't do anything but watch; when I push the straw man, I can still only watch. Even if it's the warden's turn, it's never my turn. What is this?

"What is this?! Ugh!?"

Zedu Coco suddenly woke up from the video. She shouted "Yada!" before blinking to confirm her situation.

"Whoa!? What, what's going on?!"

The blonde twin-tailed young lady, 'Hanna Tono', was startled. She stared wide-eyed at the android cat that had been pausing since they met, wondering what was wrong with Hakimi this time.

Ignoring Hannah's surprised gaze, Zetsu Coco quickly surveyed her surroundings. She was currently in the reception room, surrounded by a group of prospective witches with varying expressions—the only one missing was the long-haired, black-haired girl who had fought to the last moment and committed suicide during the Silver Party.

"...Hey, did Hiro recklessly charge into battle and get slashed by the guard?"

Having roughly figured out her current situation, Zetsu Coco immediately asked Hannah, who was beside her.

"Huh? What...? Who is Hiro?" Tono Hannah blinked, taken aback by the unfamiliar name.

"Hasn't he introduced his name yet? Hmm, so that means the jump attack on the guard didn't happen, but that guy seemed to have mentioned wanting to rewind..."

"Although I don't know who this 'Hiro' you're talking about is, there was indeed a girl who looked very determined, as if she was about to end the band, and she secretly slipped away~?"

"—Wh-what!"

Baosheng Magna's voice, tinged with a playful allure, struck Zedu Coco like a blow to the head, sending a jolt through her.

That's right, that perverted girl, Nikaido Hiro... she's already used magic to rewind! And where would she go if she suddenly ran away at a time like this? I could guess with my own eyes, she's definitely going to the underground freezer to dig up those monster rabbits!

"Damn it, that sneaky cat that stole fish...!!"

Realizing that the mysterious, monstrous woman who was involved in the magical underworld had run away right from the start, Ze Du Ke Ke didn't hesitate and turned to run directly towards the underground cryogenic chamber.

"Oh my... this makes things even more interesting~ What kind of person is this, who has already captivated so many young girls without even having met them?"

Seeing Zedu Coco's fur stand on end and her run away, and recalling the previous statement about the 'mysterious white-haired puppy girl with powder,' Baosheng Mag became increasingly curious.

"Huh? Miss Coco, where are you going... Waaah? This, this isn't right...?"

On the other side, a blonde girl dressed in a nun's habit looked like she was about to lose a pearl from the repeated and blatant truancy of the aspiring witch.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you really understand that you're here to go to jail? This is a witch's trial, not some weird, large-scale sex toy store to satisfy your desires...!

Meru on the ice was on the verge of tears, while Coco on the other hand went all out and rushed to the underground freezer.

That sadistic rabbit... no, Chang Rong is my only idol, someone who can truly be like family to me. So, so... so this time I absolutely have to protect my idol, and I will never let him be taken away by any weird woman again!

With this resolve, Sawatari Coco dived into the underground cryogenic chamber without a moment's hesitation. However, even though she activated it without any hesitation after retrieving the 'Second Memory', she was still a step too slow.

When Zedu Coco arrived at the cryogenic chamber, the boy she had been pursuing had already been released from the ice. The one who released Chang Rong was none other than the mysterious black-haired girl with long, straight hair who kissed her in her memories, Nikaido Hiro.

"We...we're a couple who're deeply in love, we do it at least twice a day...!"

"What are you talking about, you idiot?!"

Sawatari Coco shouted loudly, and so the most basic Mimi and the most dignified Nadeshiko started exchanging barbs.

"【Onii-chan】...? What are you talking about! You're not the sister of that idiot rabbit, are you?! You're just a keycap with clairvoyance magic!"

"Then aren't you just a mysterious fake witness and a food-loving girl? What couple? It's all nonsense to fool rabbits! Who knows if you were still dripping down there when you were rewinding!"

Zetsu Coco's original intention was to disrupt Hero's pace with exaggerated attacks, however—

"Gulp...!? You, how did you know? You shouldn't be able to see—!"

"..."

Help! There's a perverted woman here...!

Seeing Nikaido Hiro's flustered and helpless state after his secret was exposed, Sawatari Coco mentally raised Nikaido Hiro's danger level by another level, from T0 to T00.

While the two intelligence specialists, Hiro and Zedo Coco, were locked in a fierce battle of wits and banter, Chang Rong, the white-haired boy who had just been dug out of the ice, blinked his eyes in confusion and bewilderment.

As his consciousness was awakened from a void, Chang Rong vaguely heard some sounds.

Do you want to be popular?

You should think about it.

Do you want to have a life like the protagonist?

I feel like... I don't really want to anymore...?

Do you want to experience a story enveloped in moments of youth and romance?

Is this a real package? Why do I feel like you're trying to scam me?

—You want to become a master of Gala Gem... Beep beep beep! Warning, warning, violent activation detected, forced awakening imminent, witch factor fusion process incomplete.

Huh? Forced awakening? And what does "incomplete fusion" mean?

—Hi~! It's nice to see you again, my dear master! I'm YUKI-chan, your super-practical romance system! As you probably know, this system is a remnant of the 'Primordial Witch Factor' given to you by the Great Witch. Its purpose is to allow you to live a truly shameless life like a clown, thus making up for the Great Witch's guilt!

The Great Witch... that sounds like a familiar title.

—I'm sorry, Master. We were supposed to load your memories from before you met the Great Witch first, but it seems there was a slight mishap due to premature and forceful startup. Your memories have been fragmented, and you may need to actively search for them yourself. Currently, you are in a beginner's account mode, retaining only your most basic personality traits.

Searching for memories... After all that, I have to piece them together myself. So how do I even search for them?

—Hmm...This system isn't entirely sure either. After all, its creation was merely a coincidence; it's an outer shell derived from certain creations in your 'past life memories,' created by the Witch Factor. After all, a nobody like the Great Witch couldn't possibly have crafted a system of this caliber by hand. We Witch Factors are quite helpless with such a hands-off manager.

Although I have no memories of the Great Witch, I surprisingly agree with your view on her.

—In short, Master, don't overthink it. Since things have come to this... try dating those girls first!

Want to... date?

"So—I'm the family member that Onii-chan likes the most, right, brother!"

"Don't be fooled by those stray cats on the street. I'm your childhood sweetheart and girlfriend, remember me!"

"Huh?"

When Chang Rong came to her senses from the fragments of memory, the first thing she saw was two girls standing on either side of her, both with puffed-up faces, one with their hands on their hips and the other with their arms crossed, looking at her and waiting for her to make a decision.

Am I... really some kind of ultimate Galaga master?

Chang Rong blinked. At least he was certain that an ordinary person would probably never encounter such a bizarre scene in their lifetime: opening their eyes to see their younger sister battling their childhood sweetheart.

From a rational perspective, these two adorable girls are taking turns setting a honey trap, and it's more likely they're just spouting nonsense.

However, Chang Rong discovered that she did not seem to be completely unfamiliar with these two girls with such different personalities.

Hiro... Coco... These names naturally came to mind the moment Chang Rong saw them, like reuniting with long-lost friends, making Chang Rong genuinely happy.

This sense of déjà vu and the joy of reunion made Chang Rong feel that she might indeed have been very familiar with them before, whether they were her younger sister or her childhood sweetheart, it might all be true.

What if I really am the male protagonist in a youth romance story?

"I... I'm sorry, although my mind is still a little foggy, I believe in everyone, I believe in Hiro—and I believe in Coco."

"No, that's right, Onii-chan...!"

"Pfft!!"

Upon hearing Chang Rong's affirmative answer, Ze Du Ke Ke immediately pounced on him, her face beaming with joy. Even though Chang Rong appeared within reach through her Magic Horizon Eyes, he remained an unattainable dream for her.

But at this moment, the boy she was holding was a real person who could be touched and who could make strange sounds because of shyness.

"I'm telling the truth...! My brother and I did a live stream together, watched a movie together, flew kites together, went to a flower field for a flower viewing tea party, and even cooked together!"

"In the latter half, it was all just your own imagination, you happier than I thought." Hiro snorted coldly, mercilessly exposing her. Then she moved closer to Chang Rong, gracefully running her hand through her long black hair, striking an elegant and polite pose.

"Don't worry about that guy, Chang Rong. You're my childhood sweetheart, and our memories are much deeper. We lived together (referring to being in jail), and I would gently wake you up in the morning (referring to shaking someone or kicking the door if you didn't open it). Our sweet daily life was recorded in book after book, and we often laughed and played together."

“It’s all false evidence from beginning to end, you hypocritical slut!” Ze Du Ke Ke didn’t back down either, instantly exposing Hiro’s lies as well.

"That's still much better than some useless Hakimi who can only hide in the corner and watch, and can't even get a chance to push me around!" "Huh!? I'm the most important white moonlight in Onii-chan's heart, much better than that guy whose character becomes more and more nonsensical the longer he stays!"

These two have virtually no option for normal communication. Stand users are attracted to each other, and it seems that the intelligence envoys who sneaked out will also be attracted to each other and then fight amongst themselves.

"Um... well, although I still can't remember anything from the past, since Coco is my little sister and Hiro is my childhood friend... then you two should be good friends, right? Why have you been refusing to give in to each other since the beginning, it's like you're arguing?"

Chang Rong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Normally, two people with completely different personalities might have some friction, but it shouldn't be like this in how they get along."

The last game Chang Rong played that featured this kind of scenario—kicking each other upon first meeting—was called Road Rash, I think…

"Good friend? Don't make me laugh, who would be friends with keycaps like this—" "That kind of lunatic with nothing but yellow garbage in their head isn't—"

"So, Shiro and Coco weren't good friends after all..."

Just as the two were about to solemnly tell each other to stay away, Chang Rong showed a somewhat disappointed expression. The white-haired boy's appearance instantly shattered their plans to continue their infighting. He looked like an innocent teenager asking why his parents were arguing, wondering if it was because of his existence—it was impossible to imagine a reason or method for such a cruel rejection.

"—You know Chang Rong, Coco and I have always been inseparable best friends, and I've always treated her like a younger sister." "Meow!? Yes, yes... Ahaha, Hiro is Onii-chan's childhood friend, how could I dislike her?"

Shiro resisted the urge to choke Hakimi naked, grabbed Zetsu Coco and put on a stiff smile, while Coco desperately suppressed her desire to overpower Shiro with a three-ha-one attack, and cooperated with her performance by showing a VTB business smile.

The two smiled at each other, wishing they were best friends forever, and at the same time—

—I would rather die than associate with this kind of perverted slut. I am a pure love warrior, determined to enjoy my third-stage Cocoa alone in this life! Hiro, you ignorant fool, just hide away with your memories from before the time travel!

—This Hakimi needs to be handed over to Zeiss as soon as possible... Tsk, before the time travel, I had to eat Shirley's leftovers. If after the time travel I still have to eat Hakimi's cat food, then what's the point of my time travel? You keycap that can only pant, go find some deer videos to watch with your clairvoyance!

The seemingly unbreakable... no, the sisterhood alliance that was formed as soon as it disintegrated vanished like snowflakes.

Chang Rong was unaware of the two men's inner thoughts; he only saw that the two wings had reconciled, so he also smiled happily.

"That's great! I knew Hiro and Coco would get along well."

"Hmm..." "Tsk..."

Upon seeing Chang Rong's smiling expression, the two simultaneously revealed a look of unease and self-consciousness.

Wake up! Such a noble and rare ability to rewind/see far and wide is not a tool to make you succumb to the most base desires! Think about it, think about what your true original intention was. Wasn't it to be able to see that boy's smiling face and protect his smile?

What? So that he could sneak away and then see that idiot rabbit rolling his eyes, sticking out his tongue, and saying, "Hehehe, I'm such a stupid, useless person who can't think of anything without Shiro/Coco-chan, eh eh~~"?

That's right, that's how it should be done, that's the only way! Time rewind/intelligence leaks are for this purpose!

The last shred of conscience in Hiro and Coco's hearts was ruthlessly and utterly swallowed up and crushed by their desires.

Volume 1: Chapter 150. Oh, my lord…

"But speaking of which—Achoo! It's so cold... I've been wanting to ask myself, where is this place? It feels so eerie, and for some reason, seeing all this stuff makes me feel...sad?"

Chang Rong sneezed and frowned as she looked at the various tombs in the freezer, each sealing the final fate of a witch.
