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

Meeting Chang Rong changed me. If it weren't for him, I might still be that stubborn, witch-like clown who hates Emma, ​​is tormented by Xiao Xue's false memories, and thinks he's right.

And wasn't Emma the same? Including Hannah, Arisa, Sherry, Rhea... all the girls gathered here, in the past and the future, had been saved to varying degrees by that white-haired boy.

I possess this irreplaceable and precious memory, and others seem to have vaguely recalled something as well. In that case, shouldn't I return this memory, which I've temporarily entrusted to them, to everyone?

"I……"

"I assure you, Emma, ​​you've never met Chang Rong before (before Witch Island), Hannah, you've never had your wish granted (to see Chang Rong perform in her costume), Sherry, you were verbally abused by Chang Rong (when she was a witch and saved someone), and Nanoha, you saw Chang Rong as the mastermind (at the beginning). That's right, just like An An and Margot, we're complete strangers, colleagues, not really close, and there's an unbreakable distance between us."

"—Everything I said is true." Nikaido Hiro smiled at everyone.

Sorry, my dear sisters. We can always reminisce about good memories, but the rabbit's first soup is a once-in-a-lifetime treat. I'll tell you all the truth after I've finished removing that keycap and eaten the rabbit meat.

After hearing Hiro's words, Emma Sakura's expression showed some disappointment, but this disappointment only lasted for a few seconds before being replaced by a determined look in her eyes.

"If that's the case... then, why don't we just start creating all sorts of wonderful memories with Chang Rong from now on!"

“…Huh?” Nikaido Hiro’s eyes widened.

"No, no, no, that's why I already said I'm Chang Rong's fiancée, and none of you are—just strangers."

"If the marital status is unclear, then the person is not familiar with you!"

"……ha!?"

Hearing Emma's words, Nikaido Hiro completely lost her mind. Don't you aspiring witches have any self-awareness? This is blatantly stealing men! Are young people these days so shameless and indecent? It's simply... utterly wrong!

But speaking of which, wasn't the one Chang Rong lured away and picked up the Hakimi keycaps Zawato Coco? What are you all doing now, surrounding me and torturing me?

Surrounded by the crowd, Hiro suddenly realized that her current actions were simply helping her best friend hold off the enemy and cover their retreat. She had absorbed all the attacks, and as a result, the rabbit had been sneaked out and breached by Hakimi. Wasn't this a complete loss? I lost twice!

...Or maybe we should just restart this day. Even if that girl, Ze Du Ke Ke, actually wins the trophy, I can just confiscate it from her again...!

The group, who had originally wanted to ask more questions, fell silent after sensing the "I will walk the path of certain death alone" aura emanating from Hiro.

Volume 1: Chapter 167. Panting Rice, Panting, Eating Alone

"Eh!? So, it's possible to move out of the cell!? Well, that makes sense... But if that's the case, then all that brainwashing I did earlier was for nothing!? When I heard you chose Coco, I thought I was going to get one too... Waaah... I'm such an idiot...!"

Although it was somewhat heartbreaking to see Sawatari Coco's roommate, Tono Hannah, blushing and floating up as she said those words, playing cards was still a bit too hardcore for Chang Rong at the moment...

After selecting the concubine to serve in bed today (?), Chang Rong, for some reason, instinctively led Ze Du Ke Ke to the confessional room, and Ze Du Ke Ke, for some reason, blushed and steamed upon seeing the room.

However, because it has been converted into a confessional, the room is not suitable for living at the moment. After looking around, the two finally chose the 'Goblin Room', the rightmost of the three model rooms outside the castle.

It's worth mentioning that Chang Rong initially wanted to choose the house in the middle, but Ke Ke refused, saying that "the witch's tomb is underground, so I won't sleep soundly." Then Chang Rong wanted to choose the house on the far left, but Ke Ke refused again, saying that "the feng shui is bad and the roof beams are prone to tug-of-war." In the end, Chang Rong chose the house on the far right.

Contrary to expectations, most of the aspiring witches obediently chose to sleep in their underground cells today. After all, it was already quite late, and even though the curfew had been nullified due to Meruru's immediate arrest, the girls' biological clocks were difficult to readjust to in a short time.

Most people didn't have the energy to search for a more suitable dormitory late at night, so after taking a shower, they chose to go back to their double cells, which were several times more luxurious and spacious than the student dormitories in the mysterious Eastern country, to sleep.

Of course, the more important reason is that everyone knows about the 'old seniority trap', so no one dares to wander around recklessly. Who knows if they might step on a landmine and end up with something incredibly delicious.

Some people did choose to sleep in the infirmary. For some reason, Kurobe Nanoha Kaori went straight into the infirmary and rubbed and twisted against the pillows and blankets on the infirmary bed. Instead of sleeping properly, she was being a nuisance. Even her older sister next to her shook her head helplessly.

"Um... Onii-chan, I..."

The interior of the Goblin's Chamber is much nicer than the underground prison. It has soft sofas and various tables, bookshelves and furniture. Although the bed provided is a single bed that is only big enough for one person to lie down, from another perspective, it means that two people have to hug each other more tightly to fall asleep.

Sawatari Coco sat on the sofa, feeling restless. She swallowed hard, trying to find a topic to talk about with the two of them, while fiddling with the warden statue in front of Ryuko's table to hide her embarrassment and anxiety.

"Although the environment is definitely different from before, Coco-chan, you can just follow your usual pace. Rather, I'll have to trouble Coco-chan this time, since I'm still in a somewhat hazy, amnesiac state and may be unfamiliar with things from the past, so I'll need Coco-chan's guidance. Please take good care of me."

Chang Rong sat down next to Ze Du Ke Ke, smiled at the cat-eared girl, and rubbed his hair a little shyly, indicating that Ke Ke might have to take the initiative today.

"Leave it to me... Onii-chan! Hehehe, I have plenty of experience, even Onii-chan is no match for me...!"

Ze Du Ke Ke forced a smile and pretended to be relaxed. She put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest, trying to strike a pose of seniority, like "I've slept with more Os than the little animals in front of your house." However, her somewhat stiff posture only made people wonder if Ze Du Ke Ke was just talking nonsense.

"Huh...is this how it is? Um, Coco-chan, how about we add a little water...?" Chang Rong swallowed hard. In a sense, this should be considered her first experience. If possible, she would like to experience a normal, gradual, and less stimulating way.

Although she didn't know why, Chang Rong always felt that she had never experienced a proper, standardized back massage, and that each time it was something completely different from normal.

"Hmph, that won't do! Onii-chan should obediently let his cute stepsister squeeze him until no more pearls can flow from either his head or his lower body!" Faced with Chang Rong's soft and weak concession, Hakimi instead awakened his shoving mode. "Don't use force?" "Don't" means "Use force!"

"Eek!? So Coco-chan is like this too...!"

Chang Rong was startled. He had thought that only Xi Luo was such a terrifying being, but it turned out that his adopted sister was not so innocent either.

"Hehehe, that's right, that's right~ Little Brother Onii-chan was born to be devoured by his little sister~! Little Brother~ Little Brother~~"

Zedu Coco even retrieved her original Hakimi form account and logged in from another location. Looking at the shy and nervous Chang Rong in front of her, Zedu Coco finally understood what it meant when Hiro said, "You've been seducing me non-stop!" and "You naturally evil idiot rabbit, I'm going to kill you..."

"I... I was just a nobody before..."

"No, no, no, Onii-chan isn't some nobody! Onii-chan is the best, the most amazing, the most handsome Onii-chan!"

However, once some elderly people become docile, they can never go back to their old age. Upon seeing Chang Rong's dejected and downcast appearance, Ze Du Ke Ke's three levels of power instantly shattered, and she reverted to her old age state.

"Um... Onii-chan, are you... happy right now?"

Seeing the innocent yet somewhat bewildered white-haired boy in front of her, Ze Du Ke Ke blinked. At this moment, rather than tearing off his clothes, a question was more important to Ke Ke.

"Happy... um, I'm very happy. Although everyone is a little strange, they are all good kids, and I can have such wonderful 'girlfriends' like Hiro and Coco-chan. It's like the treatment that Gala gives to the male protagonist in the movie."

Chang Rong responded with a smile, and seeing Chang Rong's smile, Ze Du Ke Ke breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"but……"

The boy's unexpected words made Ze Du Ke Ke's smile falter for a moment.

"But I always feel like there's something I haven't finished, something I need to find quickly—"

Chang Rong took out a silver-white bell with snowflake patterns from her pocket. As she shook it with her fingertips, the bell emitted a clear and melodious sound.

It seems I still owe someone an answer, and someone still owes me an apology.

"...Really."

Seeing Chang Rong's appearance, Ze Du Ke Ke sighed heavily.

That damn witch, even in the new playthrough, is she still going to keep chasing after Onii-chan?

Although I don't want to admit it, but... that great witch who was once called 'Sato Yuki' or 'Tsukishiro Yuki' was the very foundation upon which the boy Chang Rong was built.

Her meeting with him was the beginning of this story, and will most likely also be its end.

Of course, the way to end it is up to you to decide.

When that wretched little witch is summoned by the 'ritual' and watches helplessly as her beloved has completely transformed into her own form, what kind of expression will she show? No matter how twisted and desperate her expression may be, this will be a judgment on her for being the culprit behind all the disasters caused by the infighting between her left and right brains over the past hundred years!

But all of this is revenge against the Great Witch. Chang Rong himself is a 'flawless person' who has not borne any sins. Is it really okay for her to continue to blind him with gentleness and take the tenderness from his heart?

Zedu Coco is different from Xiluo. Before the time travel, the former was already a seasoned veteran who had eaten rabbit meat. Even if the time travel happened again, she would definitely take action when the time was right. If it weren't for the intervention of fate, she would probably have been killed by Chang Rong long ago (Xiluo claimed).

But Zedu Coco is different. She didn't see Chang Rong in the first playthrough, and didn't get a hot meal in the second. Even though she came to the third playthrough with information, she was still a 0-experience, talkative queen. She's the type who talks big all the time, saying "I can win too," but when you actually put her in the position, she starts to chicken out.

If that guy Hiro were here right now...

Boom boom boom! ! !

"Meow!?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Ze Du Ke Ke quickly went over to check, and through the observation window on the door, she really saw the disciplinary committee leader with long black hair.

"What are you doing here?"

"What else could it be... I almost died from exhaustion trying to fool those guys... They're such a bunch of crazy and nonsensical women—anyway, you haven't killed that idiot rabbit yet, right? Count me in if you have."

While tidying his hair, which was inexplicably a bit messy, Hiro submitted his application for the Grass Rabbit to his unbreakable alliance.

That's great, Hero! You're so handsome, veteran! If you hadn't come, I wouldn't know how to skin a rabbit!

None of these words were uttered. Zedo Coco, who had just been agonizing over what to eat without Hero, instantly realized her deeply buried true feelings upon seeing Hero—

I should eat alone, no matter how messy my eating manners are, I'll just eat first and worry about the consequences later!

Thank you, Hiro... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this awareness. Thank you so much, Jia Yiluo...

"I'm sorry, the alliance is over." Zedu Coco's eyes were resolute; she had come to end this alliance.

"—Huh!? Your keycaps..."

Boom! !

The door was slammed shut and locked, leaving the shocked Nikaido Hiro outside.

"Ze Du...Coco—you tricked me!!!"

Although if their positions were reversed, Shiro probably wouldn't even open the door, the betrayal of Coco's two-faced father, Marco, has made Shiro completely infamous.

"I think I heard Hero's voice—"

"It's just your imagination, Onii-chan. Let me break your hypnosis spell..."

Boom boom boom!

After quickly dismissing Hiro with a few words, Zedo Coco swallowed hard and walked towards Chang Rong, but before she could even take off her cat-ear-decorated headphones, the knocking on the door came again.

Are you planning to cling to life and throw a tantrum, Heero? You're pathetic right now! Since Onii-chan chose me, it means that fate has chosen me, the saint's remains have chosen me, the cassock has chosen me—I'm destined for heaven!

"...Emma, ​​dear?"

However, when Zedu Coco got close to the gate, what she saw was not Hashiro, but the pink and white-haired girl Sakura Emma.

Emma stood behind the door with her hands behind her back, her expression both conflicted and adorable.

Considering that Emma Sakura was her best friend who fought alongside her to the end in the 'first timeline' (where she was just passively winning), Coco sighed and opened the door anyway.

"Is there something you need, Emma?"

"Coco-chan...! Um... I was wondering if you and Chang Rong-jun are hungry? I brought some bread over, and it seems like you two didn't eat much for dinner. How about we have a late-night picnic...!"

"If you keep eating like this, you'll really turn into a pink-haired piglet, Emma! Besides, I'm not hungry, and neither is Onii-chan. Hehehe, even if Onii-chan gets hungry, I'll take responsibility for feeding him...!"

"Eh eh eh..."

"But this bread does look quite good, here you go."

"Kiang!?"

After rejecting Sakura Emma's invitation to eat, Ze Du Coco didn't forget to add insult to injury. The poor little dog's clever idea not only worked but also accidentally ate a bite of poisoned chocolate. Even the chocolate bread in her hand was thrown away like a meat bun to a dog, never to be returned. She could only make cute noises and leave the scene with regret.

“That was Emma just now—” “It was still an illusion! Onii-chan, are you hungry? I have some bread for you.”

Zedu Coco tried again, suppressing her racing heartbeat, and attempted to feed Chang Rong bread as foreplay, but the knocking on the door came once more—
