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

"Waaaaah!?" "That's why I told you not to cut randomly!"

Natsume An'an instantly covered her finger and transformed into a furry creature, forcing Chang Rong to rush over to help rinse and disinfect it. She even had to rub An'an's hair and lick the wound to stop the bleeding, which barely calmed An'an down and prevented the farcical world line of "the whole team was wiped out because of the witch transformation after cutting her finger" from happening.

After finally settling the miscellaneous fish An'an in, Chang Rong noticed that Noah had been standing next to the stew pot the whole time, doing something unknown.

"Noah, what are you busy with—uh?"

Chang Rong leaned closer to Noah, smiling gently as he asked, but his smile froze the moment he saw the strange powder in the pot.

"Hehehe... Noah wants to make Rongrong's dishes even cooler! But just a dull yellow color is too monotonous from a visual point of view, so Noah is here to help with the coloring, okay? This red is chili powder, this green is matcha powder, this white is milk powder, this purple is potassium permanganate, and this blue is anhydrous copper sulfate—"

"It's basically just chemical elements by the end!!" "No, no, no, no!?"

Noah, who was still engrossed in his artistic creation, was startled by Chang Rong's angry rant.

"We'll have to cook another pot... but now the extra vegetables you washed, Marge, will come in handy... uh, fries?"

Chang Rong sighed helplessly and looked at Bao Sheng Mag, only to find that Mag had somehow produced a small bowl of fries, while the small pile of potatoes that had been there had disappeared.

"Hehe, no need to thank me, Brother Chang Rong. I peeled the potatoes a little extra for you, how about that?"

Baosheng Mag, holding a French fry, asked Chang Rong about his zero-tolerance peeling skills, comparable to an eighth-level fitter. At the same time, the 'potato chunks with skin' in the trash can next to him finally couldn't bear the weight and fell over and scattered.

"..."

Looking at the scene before him, which resembled a hundred demons parading in the deepest hell, Chang Rong smiled slightly.

Anyone familiar with Nikaido Hiro would immediately realize that this smile often signifies only one thing—

"I will drive you witches out, leaving not a single one alive!"

Chang Rong spoke softly to everyone with an incredibly bright, sunny, and spirited smile.

The next second, the already far from 'peaceful' kitchen exploded completely, and several prospective witches were kicked out of it by the frantically breathing rabbit.

"【Waaaaah... I, I'm a victim too...!】" Natsume Anan rubbed her bottom with her band-aid-covered fingers and complained softly.

"Nono, Noah, did you do something bad...?" Noah was covered in cold sweat. Her artistic ideas were so wonderful, Rongrong, why...!

"Oh my, I never expected Brother Chang Rong to have this side to him... Hehe, how interesting." Bao Shengma's smile grew clearer; she was becoming more and more interested in this young man.

But... well, next time I'll probably avoid teasing or coaxing him, I'd better avoid places like the kitchen...

The scene of Chang Rong turning into a demon was surprisingly impactful, and even Mag didn't intend to provoke her again.

Everyone witnessed an extremely rare sight of a rabbit with its fur standing on end, but what was the price?

After a while, everyone waited obediently at the table without helping (causing trouble). Soon after, Chang Rong came out of the kitchen carrying a large plate of curry rice.

"Since I don't know your appetites, I didn't portion it out. Noah and An'an, please remember to portion it yourselves. Also, the flavor is pretty conservative, salty with a hint of sweetness. If you like spicy food, go find Noah, he's already thrown all the chili powder into the pot."

As Chang Rong spoke, she glared at Noah Chengqi, while Rainbow Little Cotton-padded Jacket shrank back, knowing she was in the wrong and did not refute.

After all that commotion, Chang Rong just wanted to finish work and go home. He tossed his apron aside and prepared to leave the cafeteria.

"Um, wait a minute, Rongrong!"

Despite having just been tortured, Noah still raised his hand to try to stop Chang Rong.

"What's wrong, Noah? Is it not to your liking?" Although Chang Rong was still a little annoyed by the group's previous act of dismantling the kitchen, he still earnestly asked Noah if he was not used to the food.

"No, no... What Noah meant was, um... could you feed Noah? Like, like in the manga...!"

"……what?"

Chang Rong blinked, not immediately understanding Noah Kinosaki's request.

"Hey, Noah isn't just getting things for free...! Hey, here's Noah's autograph, Arisa probably really wants it, right? If, if you feed Noah, Rongrong, this is yours. Hey Rongrong, you don't want Arisa-chan to be sad and unable to sleep... right?"

"Hmm...!" Chang Rong hesitated, looking at the autographed painting dangling in Noah's hand. He had indeed promised Arisa he'd get her an autograph, and now that it was right in front of him, Chang Rong had to consider whether this was his only chance.

Oh well, it's just feeding him, it's not like he'll lose a piece of his flesh...!

Chang Rong nodded in agreement to Noah's deal. He walked to the two of them, scooped up some rice and curry with a spoon, and slowly moved it toward Noah's slightly parted, cute lips.

And at that very moment—

"Let us go first...!"

The spoon was suddenly interrupted by Natsume An'an, who suddenly opened her mouth, stretched her head forward, and took the curry rice from Chang Rong's spoon directly into her mouth.

"Nono nono!?"

"Hmm... I couldn't taste anything. Anyway, let me try one more time. I will definitely not give you the chance to put any strange things in Noah's food!"

Natsume Anan licked her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed. She looked at Chang Rong, trying to put on a serious expression, and then said that this was not enough to eat, and she couldn't tell if it was poisonous. She asked him to get her a larger cup.

"No, there's no need to test for poison! Noah trusts Rongrong!" Noah hurriedly said that he trusted Chang Rong, so just feed it to him.

"【I don't believe it! This freakish monster's methods are terrifying. Noah, you're no match for him. Just leave it to me... No need to be polite!" Natsume An'an said with a tragic expression. We're all good sisters. Remember my sacrifice. I'll take care of feeding this freakish rabbit!

"promise……"

Noah's eyes instantly turned cold. Even a real balloon could now realize that this damned eunuch was trying to escape!

This An'an is broken and unusable; it needs to be fixed.

"Oh right, Noah forgot his spray paint can in the kitchen. Rongrong, could you get it for me? I'll sign it for you." Noah suddenly said to Chang Rong.

"Don't bring weird things into the kitchen... Okay, I'll go find some."

Chang Rong sighed helplessly, took the signed painting, and turned to go into the restaurant to find a spray paint can.

"Speaking of which, An'an, that painting over there looks like a character from one of your novels."

"main character?"

Suddenly, Noah Kinosaki pointed to a portrait hanging on the wall and said something for no apparent reason. Natsume An'an was naturally drawn to Noah's words and turned to look at the painting.

The moment Natsume Anan looked away, Shirosaki Noah took out the mysterious blue sweet liquid from his pocket, intending to drip a couple of drops on it and then feed it to Anan to shut her up.

However, she had just poured out the bottle—

"Wow, it smells so good!" "I didn't expect there would still be food in the restaurant at this hour—Noah, An'an?"

"No!? Said = Yi Er I? Wu? Jiu Liu? (San?) Er"

The voices of Ryota Hasumi and Hiro Nikaido came from behind, instantly causing Noah's hand to tremble and release about 100 times the recommended dose of the blue sweet water.

"Is it curry rice? It looks delicious! Do you mind if I have a little? I've been helping Hiro look for something in the recreation room, and I'm starving!" Ryota Hasumi sat down next to the two of them, her appetite whetted by the aroma of the curry rice.

"This, this was prepared for An'an—" Noah wiped his forehead in a panic, trying to stop the two.

“【We don’t mind】” An An turned around and generously said that it didn’t matter, after all, this would make it easier to gain favor with Chang Rong and impress him.

"That's great!" "This kind of cooking method, which is very homey but brings unexpected happiness, seems familiar...?"

Ryota Hasumi happily accepted the bowl and chopsticks. Although Hiro, who was standing next to her, had a sense of déjà vu about the curry rice, he was quickly put on guard by Ryota's praise and also picked up a spoon and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm, the taste is indeed very good, and you can feel the chef's serious personality, but what's with this somewhat strange sweetness—thump!!!"

Before Hiro could finish speaking, he slammed his head on the table, then slid to the floor and fell fast asleep.

Not only Hero, but Rhea on the other side collapsed onto the floor, drooling.

“No, no, no…” “[…]”

Noah Shirosaki stared incoherently at the double kill unfolding before him, while Anan Natsume remained silent beside him.

"You, you just tried to make me eat this kind of thing?!" "It's all because An'an, you kept interfering with my good time...!!"

There's nothing more to say now; actions speak louder than words.

The two acted almost simultaneously:

Noah Kinosaki directly manipulated the liquid (physical), causing the blue sweet liquid to splatter towards Natsume An'an, but An'an opened her mouth just before it splattered all over her face—

"Get asleep, you colorful balloon, gurgling and popping..."

"Hmph, it seems Noah was one step ahead! Noah is the victor... Wait...?"

Boom! !

The two children in the group also went offline one after the other, one hypnotized and the other fell asleep, and the restaurant instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"I couldn't find the spray paint you mentioned, Noah—Eeeeeeeeeee!!???"

Chang Rong came out of the kitchen and was instantly terrified by the scene before her, letting out a wail.

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

"What exactly is going on? Oh dear, if the witch's trial is launched now, will I be the one voted out, or Chang Rong, or Hannah?"

Baosheng Mag said with a smile.

"What?!"

Having witnessed the entire event, she had at least five opportunities to interrupt and prevent this tragedy from happening, but...

Such an interesting scene, anyone who comes here would want to see the end, right? Don't blame me, blame Noah's overly creative little tricks.

In the end, a new rule appeared in the cafeteria—

Noah Kinosaki is prohibited from bringing any items to the restaurant.

But the person who was truly affected by this incident was none other than Arisa Shito, who hadn't even participated in it.

"What does '[The sleeping pills have all been centrally destroyed]' mean?! Who's going to supply me with the OD sleeping pills that provide that 'deathly cool sleep' I'm missing, you bastard?!"

"Waaaaah!? I'm so sorry...!! I...I don't know why, waaaah!!"

Inside the infirmary, Arisa Wisteria grabbed the jellyfish and shook it wildly, but Meruru managed to expel nothing except for the little pearl.
