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

Chang Rong's Otherworldly Harem Diary!

I am Chang Rong, a transmigrator you see everywhere. Although this world hasn't yet shown any of the benefits or amazing encounters one would expect after transmigrating, I believe this is just a temporary technical adjustment.

Before I transmigrated, I was a random NPC. If I'm still a random NPC after transmigrating, then what the hell was the point of transmigrating?

On my first day at the new school, the moment my eyes met those of that snowflake-like girl, I realized that my life as a Galaguer had finally begun!

Day 1 of conquering the mysterious white-haired beauty:

The new transfer class has a stunningly beautiful anime girl who's way above average! That's right, based on my years of experience as a fan of anime, she's definitely the 'leading lady' of this area! No one else could be more suitable as the female lead in a romantic comedy! Her model's polygon count and clarity are unlike any of the other students; she's far ahead, so I'm absolutely certain!

I mustered up the courage to say hello, but she inexplicably replied, "You can see me?"... To be honest, I felt like my "bad movie radar" was going off like crazy—but so what! I just love this kind of emotionless, cool girl, hehehe! Now that I'm in another world (although I haven't seen what's different yet), I'll show my true skills as a master of Galahad!

Day 3 of the strategy:

The girl's name is 'Xiaoxue'. Although we don't know her full name yet, if we can just call her by her nickname right away, it doesn't really matter whether she has her full name or not.

Since her initial remarks about the radio wave, Xiaoxue has reverted to her original human-machine mode. No matter how I try to talk to her, she won't respond. She basically just sits alone at her desk, which is covered with all sorts of vulgarities, silently watching the unchanging scenery outside the window as if she's offline.

These aren't the real issues. Rather, it's this aloofness, this ethereal, snowflake-like isolation, that truly resonated with me. But the biggest problem lies in…

It stinks...it stinks so bad...! Why is there always a faint smell of rotting, fermenting kitchen waste wafting from the sink drain that hasn't been cleaned in the middle of summer?! And if you try to get closer, the smell gets even stronger, almost like the stench of rotting organisms...Is this really the smell a beautiful girl should be giving off?! Aren't we supposed to know that even a beautiful girl's excrement smells good?! Even if that stuff isn't fragrant, it shouldn't smell like excrement! Is this what a scent is supposed to smell like?!

I bought a mask to make do for now, otherwise I really would be overwhelmed by this captivating scent...

It seemed that others also had reservations about the strange smell emanating from 'Xiaoxue,' the source of which was unclear. As school was about to let out, I saw someone blocking Xiaoxue in front of the shoe cabinet, seemingly saying something. When I went closer, I heard that they were telling Xiaoxue to walk home barefoot.

Is this what they call 'bullying'? While Xiaoxue may have been a bit of a nuisance to some extent, is it really necessary to retaliate in this way?

She barely managed to stop them from taking advantage of her misfortune by using her status as a 'transfer student,' but it seems that this quiet, beautiful girl's problems are more serious than she originally thought...

Oh right, because I was dealing with Xiaoxue's bullying incident, I accidentally forgot to submit my application to join the game club. But it doesn't matter. I've played enough games in my past life. In this life, I still need to aim to become a master of Galaga!

Day 7 of the strategy:

It's been a week since I transferred schools, and it seems my tireless efforts to recommend Xiaoxue's shampoo, body wash, and fragrance during every break have finally paid off. Xiaoxue's 'strong, girlish scent' has toned down considerably. Considering that the other students are pinching their noses and frowning less often, it probably isn't just me getting used to the smell, right? I'm truly grateful to Xiaoxue.

However, although the smell problem has been solved, the problem of bugs always popping out of strange places around Xiaoxue has become a new big problem. It seems that we still need to find a way to recommend some insecticides and repellents to her... Speaking of which, there is no strange smell anymore, so why does Xiaoxue still attract bugs? Is she some kind of once-in-a-century level 10 genius psychic?

Today, a bug that scurried out accidentally startled other classmates, and unsurprisingly, bullying occurred again. Although I tried to quell the situation by saying, "I'm a transfer student, give me some face," it seems that my attempt to gain face has already run its course.

After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a better solution, so in the end I could only punch him in the face.

The first time I ever got into a fight on campus was to protect the Zerg Queen. If the Heart of the Swarm expansion ever comes out, will I be able to get a position in the highlands' guard?

After the commotion subsided, Xiaoxue came to my side, my face bruised and swollen. She stared at me for a long time before finally asking, "What are you doing?"

What else could I do? Was I exercising? My whole body aches because I'm building muscle, right? — I responded in this half-joking way, but Xiaoxue gave me a look as if I were an idiot. She coldly said that only lowly and vulgar humans need to 'exercise,' while raising her hand and placing it on my wound, doing something I couldn't quite make out.

A few seconds later, Xiaoxue seemed to remember something. She withdrew her hand, turned around and left, muttering something like, "The magic is gone."

It was rare to see an 'awkward' expression on her face, although I wasn't sure what she was embarrassed about. Was it her own strange, nonsensical hand gesture just now?

Oh right, because of the commotion caused by the fight, the basketball club's invitation was unilaterally withdrawn before I could even respond. It seems that if I want to continue playing basketball, I'll have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness from the chubby coach while crying. I wasn't really that keen on dominating the boards anyway, so I guess I'll just let it go.

Day 12 of the strategy:

Today is a historic day! Xiaoxue finally spoke to me on her own initiative!

While I was absentmindedly fiddling with my hand gripper, Xiaoxue suddenly ran up to me. The girl with snow-white hair hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind and, for the first time, initiating a conversation with me.

"I'm skipping my next PE class, so mind your own business."

Okay, I don't know why it sounded a bit threatening, but it must have been my imagination.

During the last PE class, Xiaoxue was lying face down on her desk, not moving for some reason. I noticed something was wrong with her, so I went over to ask if she was feeling unwell and if she needed to go to the infirmary. As a result, I also skipped class.

After roll call, the PE teacher, realizing a transfer student was missing, returned to the classroom and saw me skipping class, along with Xiaoxue beside me. The PE teacher initially looked confused, but after a brief hesitation, he angrily grabbed me with his left hand and Xiaoxue with his right and threw them onto the playground. It seemed Xiaoxue wasn't feeling unwell; she simply wanted to skip PE class.

Later, on the playground, watching Xiaoxue panting and wriggling on the track in her gym clothes, I always felt like she was about to explode with bone powder and arrows... Maybe Xiaoxue has the potential to be an idol?

Although Xiaoxue looked really cute panting and exhausted, she didn't talk to me for almost two days after that day, so I should try not to bother her when she skips PE class in the future.

In any case, Xiaoxue's first initiative to talk to me is still very memorable. Perhaps I was too excited, which made me forget to attend the light music club audition. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I, who can only play the clapper among all the instruments, never had the possibility of joining the light music club in the first place.

Day 16 of the walkthrough:

I feel like Xiaoxue's personality is quite different from what I initially imagined...?

I initially thought that Yuki would be like Rei Ayanami, a cold-looking but delicate, kind, sensitive and innocent girl with three drones. However, the longer I spent with her, the clearer my understanding of Yuki's personality became.

To put it simply—Xiaoxue is surprisingly eccentric, sharp-tongued, sometimes like a little devil, and completely unrelated to the word 'virtuous and domestic'. Instead, she gives off the feeling of being a complete failure in life. If left unattended, you always feel like she'll die from being raised like this... How has someone like her survived until now? Is it magic?

Once, during a break between classes, I bought water for Xiaoxue. When I got back, she scolded me, making a mysterious downward finger gesture and declaring, "I only drink distilled water." Later, after I bought her another bottle of distilled water, she thought it was too boring, so I had to buy her Hakimi, which is easier to drink. What a fickle little devil who likes to boss people around.

Sometimes you might hear Xiaoxue complaining, "Meiruru is much more obedient than you." Who is Meruru? Is she Xiaoxue's imaginary friend?

However, after each time she tormented me, seeing Xiaoxue's somewhat embarrassed yet unable to express her gratitude, and finally just humming and coughing twice beside me to say "Well done, human," I felt that I wasn't really at a loss.

That being said, I ultimately declined the service department's invitation. I was already exhausted from serving Xiaoxue by wiping her bottom every day, and I simply didn't have the energy to serve anyone else...

Day 23 of the strategy:

I've recently started to understand Xiaoxue's hobbies, but each one is more abstract than the last. I might never understand why someone would have a hobby like "counting dust, doing somersaults, and destroying humanity." Do these three things have anything in common?

Although these so-called 'hobbies' are all rather abstract, it doesn't matter, I like abstract things. That being said, sitting in a corner with Xiaoxue 'counting dust' is a bit too philosophical and Zen-like, and somersaults are even worse... Can't we cultivate some more normal hobbies?

With that in mind, I tried recommending some sandbox strategy games to Xiaoxue, letting her play the role of the 'Fourth Calamity' to destroy humanity, which she hates the most. The idea was good, but in practice, Xiaoxue kept messing things up due to her indecisive and conflicting thoughts, ultimately ending up being pushed to her doorstep by humanity. And unsurprisingly, I was the one who paid the price for this crushing defeat. I got a fierce glare from Xiaoxue for half a day—thank you for the treat.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Xiaoxue's coat was ripped and torn today, so I temporarily lent her my own. When she put on my overly loose coat, I seemed to see a blush of shyness on Xiaoxue's cheeks, as beautiful as a fleeting moment in an oil painting. But it could also have been the light shining through the window at dusk; I'm not sure, and I didn't really care.

Speaking of which, although it's unclear when Xiaoxue stopped smelling bad and there were no more of those messy bugs, the bullying and discrimination against her continued, as if some kind of underlying logic code had been written into her.

In the end, I ended up accompanying Xiaoxue to count the dust in the classroom. Because the initial setup for this hobby was so lengthy, I didn't even participate in the final student council selection. But thinking about it carefully, I'm neither an alien, a superhuman, nor a time traveler, so I probably wouldn't have had a chance of joining the student council anyway.

Day 30 of the strategy:

Time flies, and it's already been a month since I transferred schools. I only learned today that Yuki's real name is 'Sato Yuki', which is quite a new milestone.

However, her response, "Full name...? Then let's call you... Sato," always sounded like she was just trying to fool me... It gave me the feeling that Yuki wasn't really going to give a proper answer and was just making up the most commonly used name to get by. But Sato Yuki didn't sound bad, so I didn't press her further.

That said, isn't the progress between Xiaoxue and me reversed? Generally, when interacting with the opposite sex, you start by addressing them by their surname, and only after reaching a certain level of intimacy do you start calling them by their nickname. But Xiaoxue and I are doing the exact opposite.

Today I originally planned to report to the Literature Department. I heard that a senior student in the Literature Department is a strange girl who eats books, which really piqued my interest, and I wanted to go to the Literature Department to find out. In addition, I have always felt that I am a great writer who is not appreciated, but I am frustrated because of Meituan's scheme. This is a good opportunity to shine in the Literature Society and conquer the literary world.

But after I told Xiaoxue about my plan, she showed a rare look of surprise and sullenness. She first said that what human literature is worthless, and then she said that what senior sister is? She herself is the real senior. What is eating books? She used to eat parchment and oracle bone inscriptions, which were more flavorful, stronger and pure tonics.

In short, the core idea was to prevent me from running off to the Literature Department. Because Xiaoxue looked too cute, I could only rub Xiaoxue's head and indicate that I wasn't going anywhere, and would continue to obediently be a pigeon and watch Xiaoxue's backflip.

Day 37 of the strategy:

Xiaoxue is definitely a true "eccentric" type; I've lost count of how many times she's said she'll destroy all of humanity as a witch. Her earnest expression is actually quite adorable. However, every time Xiaoxue notices my doting gaze, she launches a fierce attack on my shinbone, which, to be honest, actually hurts quite a bit…

The worst part is that I can't secretly wear protective gear, otherwise Xiaoxue will sense that something is wrong with my feet, and as punishment, the number of kicks will double... She really is a willful guy in every sense of the word.

In home economics class today, Xiaoxue single-handedly detonated the classroom! I probably won't understand how she managed to turn ingredients like butter, flour, eggs, and cream into a biological bomb. Is she really a witch? Is this her magic? It's terrifying...

Girls who can bake butter cookies are a big plus, but girls who can knead butter and flour into TNT and detonate a school building are an even bigger plus!

Thanks to this, I declined the homeroom teacher's invitation to be a private tutor for the five sisters. Out of a sense of social responsibility, I decided not to look for other part-time jobs until I had trained Xiaoxue to be a qualified girl who could live independently without causing any explosive changes.

Day XX of the strategy guide

"Hmph~ Hmph hmph hmph~~"

Chang Rong was in a great mood, whistling as she carried her lunchbox up the stairs to the rooftop of the teaching building.

—Hehe, my roast pork bento box is sure to be a winner today!

Bringing Xiaoxue a boxed lunch every day and "exchanging meals" with her at noon has become an unwavering routine for Chang Rong at school.

At first, the two weren't close enough to have lunch together. But when Chang Rong tentatively invited Xiao Xue to lunch and received a positive response—looking at Xiao Xue's 'lunch' of white bread slices and tap water, Chang Rong, who had lived in a culinary superpower in his previous life, instantly became furious. What Xiao Xue was eating was not only inferior to white food, but even in England it would be considered a purely life-sustaining meal.

Unable to accept this, Chang Rong immediately declared that he would be responsible for Xiao Xue's meals from then on, and from then on, Chang Rong would prepare two lunchboxes every day before going to school. Afterwards, during lunch break, he and Xiao Xue would go to a place where no one would disturb them, such as the rooftop, to eat together.

Normally, no one would bother you, but there are always exceptions—

"You bastard, I told you to get back to school and never come back! I feel disgusted just looking at you!"

As soon as Chang Rong arrived on the rooftop, he was drawn to a commotion that shouldn't have been there. Looking in the direction of the sound, he immediately saw the snowflake-like girl, 'Sato Yuki,' and several fierce-looking students of the same age surrounding her.

Having witnessed this scene countless times, Chang Rong was unfazed. He sighed, placed the honey lemon tea and lunchbox aside, and walked to the front of the group.

"I'm so sorry, did Xiaoxue accidentally cause some trouble again? I'll help—"

Chang Rong approached the crowd and began reciting the formulaic apology he knew by heart, but before he could finish, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The roast pork rice bowl that she had cooked herself that morning was now overturned on the ground along with the lunchbox. The girl's snow-white hair was wet and stuck together, and the wet liquid slid down her hair and soaked her clothes. Only the empty and crushed water bottle at her feet remained.

The girl's eyes were empty and somewhat eerie. It wasn't until she realized Chang Rong had arrived that a glimmer of light reappeared in Xiao Xue's light-colored eyes.

"Ugh... It's you again!"

The students who came to cause trouble were also stunned when they saw Chang Rong. After all, they were classmates from the same school. The rumor that "the girl with the bug has a crazy transfer student by her side" had gradually become a household name after more than a month of spread.

There was supposedly a transfer student who excelled academically and was handsome and cute. Many clubs and activities wanted to invite him to participate, but this guy seemed obsessed with her, only wanting to hang around that white-haired 'witch' whom everyone hated and who reeked of sewage. He would even fight with students who tried to bully the witch, literally getting into a brawl with them.

The leader of the thugs paused slightly after noticing Chang Rong's arrival, but he quickly snorted and put on that pretentious posture.

"Get out of here! This has nothing to do with you, or I'll drag you down with me—Pfft!!?!"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Chang Rong suddenly punched him in the nose. For a moment, only a cracking sound could be heard, followed by heart-wrenching curses and howls.

There was no "What are you looking at? What's it to you?" threat, no "I have my reasons" empathy, and no "Stop it, we're all classmates, stop it!" persuasion. All there was was an abrupt straight punch to the face before anyone could even react.

Chang Rong's punch was like a starting signal, instantly turning the once peaceful and leisurely rooftop into a thrilling battlefield.

Several tens of minutes later, Chang Rong returned to Xiao Xue's side, her school uniform tattered, her eyes bruised, and her white hair disheveled, with a tissue covering her nose.

“I didn’t make a mistake this time. I asked these guys, and they really were just looking for trouble.” Chang Rong wiped his nose and crumpled the blood-stained tissue into a ball.

Chang Rong had a similar experience before. He thought the other person was there to bully Xiao Xue, so he beat him up quickly. Later, he found out that Xiao Xue had accidentally kicked him with a rising dragon kick while doing a somersault, almost sending his nose flying. That's why he got angry and came to demand an explanation. After beating the person up, Chang Rong had no choice but to personally apologize to Xiao Xue, making the other person some red bean paste while enduring the double pain of being kicked in the shin by Xiao Xue.

Acting like today, without understanding the cause and effect, and just rushing in to attack Xiaoxue because she was being bullied, was a bit reckless. However, looking back at the result, I didn't actually punch the wrong person.

Chang Rong sat down next to Xiao Xue with a hissing and laughing voice, while the latter took out a handkerchief and carefully and clumsily wiped the wounds on Chang Rong's face.

"I should have kept the healing magic for Meruru, but Meruru is too stupid. She always gets injured for no reason, and bumping her head is a common occurrence. So I had no choice but to leave it to her..."

As Xiaoxue wiped away the bloodstains, she muttered something under her breath, whether it was a complaint or regret.

—This Meruru seems to be quite a character.

Chang Rong was now completely convinced of Meruru's existence, believing that 'Meruru' was Xiaoxue's virtual friend. However, even if it was virtual, she didn't want a perfect friend, but rather a clumsy, illiterate jellyfish. It seems that Xiaoxue is surprisingly true to her own mental constructs when it comes to imagining things.

Of course, the more likely reason is that a person cannot imagine something she has never seen before. As we all know, none of the words such as gentle, virtuous, elegant, intellectual, capable, and Yamato Nadeshiko can be applied to Koyuki.
