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

【Hey hey~! My dear master, it seems like you haven't used this romance system for a while. Could it be that you've already found your true love? As expected of you, master, you can live the life of a harem anime protagonist without relying on the system's power. Well then, this system is now activating its meltdown and self-destruct mode. Countdown 5, 4, 3—】

"Waaaaah! Don't just suddenly self-destruct right off the bat! Are you some other mysterious self-destructing vest named Hiro!?"

In the study and bedroom, Chang Rong, who had nothing to do, finally had the opportunity to carefully study the software that called itself the YUKI dating system. As a result, explosive progress occurred as soon as she opened the phone and chatted for a few words.

[Could it be that my dear master hasn't successfully won over any witches yet? They're just weaklings, Master. You know, a proper male protagonist, upon meeting a witch, will immediately assume a perfect stance and decisively draw his scythe to attack. His fierce offensive will even leave the opponent no chance to receive any affection before he's pinned down and crushed to death!]

"What kind of useless thing is this, you idiot male lead... Anyway, stop with the nonsense and just tell me, what's the use of this system?"

Having not slept well, not eaten a proper breakfast, and been tormented by various extraordinary individuals, Chang Rong had no energy left to argue with the system software. While rubbing his eyebrows, he asked what the specific effects of this love system's cheat were.

"Does it allow you to see the inner thoughts of beautiful girls? Can it automatically display the best dialogue options at crucial moments? Can it save and load (SL)? Or... hehe, can it directly activate a mysterious brainwashing software in one step?"

[This system can automatically call the emergency number to contact the mobile task force to kill your master.]

"Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?! I'm just having a casual relationship with a guy, is it really that big of a deal?!"

—Damn it, besides treating low blood pressure, this system seems to have no practical use at all…! Whose cake did I touch? Hamburgers, Coke, sausages, egg tarts, sundaes, jianbing guozi, leek boxes, do you have to go to such lengths to mess with me? Sigh, capital, sigh, Meituan, you win, okay?

Why does this transmigrator, with his supposedly noble status, feel like he doesn't get any special treatment? This isn't how harem novels are! I should be getting some awesome cheat codes, single-handedly crushing all the shady dealings, and then adding all the girls to my harem to live a shameless life every day! Instead, I'm stuck on a deserted island, fighting a battle with a bunch of landmine girls, sleeping on a sofa, eating Indian food, and being played by this useless, useless fog system that only drains my energy!

[My master, who's driven to rage and tries to torture the system, may seem like a nobody, but he's still my favorite nobody master.]

"Can't you read minds?!"

[Hehe, this system can only read a portion of your dear master's thoughts, okay? After all, I'm just a 'piece of trash'.]

"Residue...?"

[To upgrade to the full version, please pay 6480]

"I want to curse, but at this price point, buying a green-grade 'Guardian' isn't so bad, I guess I can just grit my teeth and accept it?"

[6480 Bitcoins!]

"Go ahead and have the large portion!"

Chang Rong even considered simply uninstalling this cognitively biased creative AI to have some peace and quiet. The system either had to be idle or torture its own host; this thing was a pure menace, sitting at the same table as those "shake-to-win" ads.

However, even though it's just scraps, YUKI still wants to contribute to her beloved master. Please click here!

An air bubble appeared on the hat-shaped metal bucket in the phone screen.

"Let me make this clear first: if I click on it and find it's some kind of redirect to a web game ad or a Pinduoduo cashback offer, I will definitely uninstall it immediately."

Even the master's threats, though seemingly insignificant, are quite adorable~

"You fucking... never mind."

Aligning with the system (without even connecting the lines to win three) and getting yourself half-dead from anger is indeed a terrible thing to do (it's ridiculous). Chang Rong decided to adjust her mindset and calmly open the bubble.

The screen instantly switched to a list, which prominently featured the aspiring witches who had been imprisoned on the prison island alongside him.

Each person's chibi-style avatar is displayed at the front, followed by a string of peculiar numbers.

Emma Sakura - [9/100]

Hiro Nikaido – [78/100]

Sherry Tachibana — [0/0]

Hannah Tono – [33/100]

Miria Saeki——[4/100]

Nanoha Kurobe – [47/100]

Natsume An-an — [28/100]

Zetsu Cocoa – [36/100]

Ryoua Hasumi – [22/100]

Arisa Wisteria – [11/100]

Noah Kinosaki - [24/100]

Meruru on Ice - [###]

Baosheng Mag – [###]

"..."

Chang Rong remained silent for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, analyzing the situation:

"I never imagined that Hiro, who seems so arrogant and haughty, would actually be hopelessly in love with me! Hmph, that's what they call tsundere, Chang Rong, you sinful man, are you really prepared to bear the 'rightness' of her for the rest of your life...!"

【Master, if you're this devoted to everyone, readers might think you're too obsessive and abandon the book. And if this is a favorability rating, don't you think some of the characters' ratings are a bit strange?】

"Huh? It's not about favorability after all... But now that you mention it, it does seem to be true."

Chang Rong shook his head awkwardly and carefully examined the numbers again.

Most people have very low scores, which Chang Rong can understand, since he is still considered a 'strange guy with an unclear identity and an incompatible gender' by many people.

But Emma, ​​Noah, and Rhea's stats weren't very high either, which was a bit strange. Chang Rong didn't think all three of them were the kind of two-faced scheming women.

Also, what's with this "0/0" on Tachibana Sherry? Did the kid disconnect and leave the Stone Man network?

[Still can't understand, Master? In that case, YUKI-chan will just reveal the answer directly—these numbers represent the 'witch-ification erosion level'!]

"If you talk to me in that brat-like tone again, believe me, I'll put you in WeChat and make you into a cream puff... wait, witch-like infiltration level?"

Having received the answer from the system, Chang Rong immediately browsed the list again, this time focusing his gaze on Nikaido Hiro.

【78/100】—Isn't this about to explode?!

"What happens when this progress bar is full? Are there any ways to slow it down? How is the rate of increase determined? And what's with Tachibana Sherry's 0/0?"

Realizing that this was not a situation that could be easily dismissed with a laugh, Chang Rong quickly pressed the system for answers.

[Their temper will be completely dominated by the demonic female factor (although it will temporarily subside afterward), but what the witches will do during that period of domination is anyone's guess. But Master probably knows better than Yuki-chan, right?]

"...Like Marg?"

Chang Rong thought of that deceitful girl, that 'fake witch' who killed others to prove her love.

As for the methods to alleviate the situation and the rate of increase—does Master really need to know?

"What do you mean?"

[The aspiring witches are destined to become true witches; this is their fate. The concentration of witch genes sensed at this moment is actually meaningless. Because these girls, these girls who were laughing and encouraging each other just a moment ago, saying they would definitely leave together, will kill each other the next moment because of some insignificant opportunity.]

"How is this possible..."

[This is 'Original Sin' Ying, my most beloved master (one of the five great humans). The original sin belonging to them, the original sin belonging to witches... Please forget these meaningless numbers, and enjoy this peace until the end.]

"Enjoy? Don't be ridiculous, how am I supposed to enjoy this situation...! You mean these people are essentially landmine girls with both 'instant explosion' and 'countdown self-destruct' modes, right? Who the hell can sleep soundly amidst a bunch of landmines?!"

This is perjury, isn't it, Master?

"Uh……?"

"How about this? I can cast a spell on my dear master, ensuring you won't be targeted by any witch. That way, no matter how much the prospective witches fight amongst themselves, you can still enjoy your brief but dreamy daily romance. The price is that you can't actively interfere with or influence those witches corrupted by witch genes. What do you say to this deal, master?"

"How could magic be so convenient..."

The AI ​​didn't respond to me; it just popped up a new button on the screen.

Pressing the button grants the magic to prevent being overwhelmed by the witch's murderous intent, allowing one to enjoy the 'daily life of youthful romance' desired on this island, at the cost of not interfering with the predetermined fate of these aspiring witches.

I--

1. [Press the button]

2. [Close Window]

------

*****【Close Window】*****

—This AI is so weird. If I press it, it might just draw up some hidden backup energy and apply for a 15 yuan online loan for me.

Chang Rong snorted and closed the window. At the same time, a private message popped up in her phone's notification bar.

【Hello Destroyer Mushroom】: It's almost lunchtime. Remember to come to the cafeteria on time and don't be late again, or I won't hesitate to correct you with the same force I use on repeat offenders.

"Hero... has she become a witch?"

Although Chang Rong didn't completely trust the outrageous AI, the warning it issued still made her somewhat uneasy.

Volume 1: 29. As is well known, there are smaller groups within smaller groups.

Chang Rong hadn't eaten much breakfast for some inexplicable reason, so she was quite looking forward to lunch.

Although the food looked like it had been reprocessed by Kikumi Hiroi, and tasted comparable to corpse starch, it provided a real amount of calories.

Only with enough energy replenishment from the master could the previous user of this body, with his still-not-bad brain, have the energy to analyze the current situation and what the [YUKI Love System] was saying to him.

The erosion of witchhood not only grows automatically over time, but 'witchhood' itself also has the unpredictable nature of 'sudden outbursts'.

If what that system said is true... then this prison island probably never intended for anyone to be 'released after serving their sentence' in the first place. Living here ultimately only has two outcomes: becoming a witch, or becoming a corpse under a witch's control.

—Wait a minute, isn't that strange?

Chang Rong suddenly realized some disharmonious and contradictory factors.

If everyone is destined to die in the end, then what is the point of this prison island?

If the goal is simply to eliminate the unstable factor of the 'witch,' wouldn't it be more efficient for everyone to join hands, meet with Louis XVI, collaborate with Shang Yang, and have a heart-to-heart talk with Ambé?

Is this some kind of sadistic live stream show by the Celestial Dragons, a perverse act of watching girls fight each other?

No, that's not right. There aren't any cameras in this place. It seems like only the warden and the guards have the ability to record things.

Is it to turn prospective witches into witches and then conduct research under the guise of 'containment'?

That's highly likely, but... to be honest, the infrastructure on this prison island is hundreds of times better than many school dormitories. If a prospective witch is to be 'suppressed' and transformed into a witch, the basic living conditions should be even more stringent, right?

Furthermore, judging from Lulu's situation on Ice, the slain prospective witches won't become witches. Wouldn't it be a waste of many potential witches if we just kill each other?

...I just don't understand

Chang Rong felt that this place was full of geniuses who seemed to be fighting each other between their left and right brains.
