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

"'Companion'... Onii-chan, although I will choose to support your actions, but... isn't it really better now? Only the happy present, without the unhappy past, isn't that... better for everyone?" Zetsu Coco blinked and looked at Chang Rong.

As a prospective witch with the magic of "clairvoyance," Zetsu Coco has witnessed and experienced the most 'past,' and she has seen the most despair and cruelty.

That's why Coco cherishes this moment, a time when no tragedy has occurred for anyone, a time of happiness and carefree joy. And that's also why she agreed to let Hiro 'keep the truth hidden'.

She had witnessed how Chang Rong was tormented by his past, which is why she hoped that Chang Rong, who had not yet been caught up by his past, could enjoy a little more of his peace.

"No... that's not it, Coco-chan. Perhaps having only beautiful memories can bring happiness, but... my present and my past are actually linked. Besides—only by finding those imperfect memories can I cherish the present with a clear conscience, right?"

Chang Rong looked at Ze Du Ke Ke and gently took her hand.

"If I could remember exactly how you left me, Coco, I would hold your hand even tighter and I would never, ever let you leave me again."

"...Seriously, how could you say something so unfair, Onii-chan?"

Looking at the serious face of the boy in front of her, Ze Du Ke Ke gave a helpless wry smile.

"I actually know that everyone will want to find their past memories sooner or later, but Onii-chan is the first one... But since it's Onii-chan's choice, then... I will respect it."

Zedu Coco took out her phone and dialed Hiro's number.

"But actually I don't know much about Onii-chan's past either. After all, the scenes I can see with my clairvoyance are fragmented. The only scene I can see completely is when Onii-chan was having sex with other... cough cough cough meow! Anyway, Onii-chan should go ask Hiro!"

"?"

What should have been a touching yet serious scene turned into something else entirely when Coco suddenly blushed, and Hakimi was practically bursting into street dance.

Not long after—

"I heard you went around asking people to rub your hair and smooth your fur, and you stroked the hair of almost everyone you met...?"

Nikaido Hiro arrived, his forehead unsurprisingly covered in bulging veins.

"This, this is because—"

"What about me!?"

“…Huh?” Chang Rong blinked, not expecting that Xi Luo would get angry in this way.

"Then, should Hiro give it a try too?!"

"Aha?"

—Should I take it or not?

Chang Rong asked in a low voice, but Hiro started breathing out again, which confused Chang Rong a bit.

—But… Hiro is a cat lover too. If she doesn’t want something, she means she wants it; if she breathes on it, she wants it even more. That’s right!

The fact that the entire Witch Island was reduced to a sacrifice was not meaningless. Chang Rong immediately analyzed Hiro's breath data and carefully reached out to touch her head.

2m, 1m, 50cm, 10cm——

He gently placed his palm on the round-headed Hiro's long black hair.

Although he was prepared to have his hand chewed up by Hero, Hero surprisingly did not react excessively.

Rather, the angry expression on her face gradually cooled and relaxed.

"Thinking about it carefully... I really miss it."

Feeling the gentle touch of his brush, Hiro's lips curled up slightly, and his gaze towards Chang Rong was unusually tender.

"Perhaps you don't remember, but... this is how you used to pull me back here time and time again when I was corrupted by the witch factor and almost went astray."

Hiro placed one hand on the back of Chang Rong's hand, feeling its warmth, then slowly took Chang Rong's hand and placed it between the two of them.

"...Am I really worth it, Hero?"

“You are more worthy of my utmost devotion than you realize,” Hiro replied with a smile and an undeniable tone.

"..."

The two remained silent for a moment, simply sensing each other's presence.

Chang Rong gently stroked Xiluo, again and again, again and again—

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to fuck you to death—"

"Didn't they even manage to pull it back at all!?"

As a result, Hero couldn't hold back and activated his instinct mode.

"That's a completely different matter...!"

Hiro blushed and retorted, trying to explain that the murderous intent generated by the witch factor and the murderous intent he generated were two different desires.

"Anyway, um... I want to regain my memories, Hiro. Do you have any ideas?"

Sensing that the topic and atmosphere seemed to have veered off course, Chang Rong quickly brought up the important matter.

“Memory—that’s what Coco was talking about.”

Hiro paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

"I had hoped that Chang Rong, you could live a carefree and worry-free life—"

"You just want to eat it all by yourself, don't you...?" Ze Du Coco interrupted from the side.

"No, that's not it."

"And I haven't even had a taste yet www"

"It's all because of your keycaps...!! Sigh... Anyway, since you've made this choice, I won't say anything more. After all, you never do anything meaningless."

Hiro breathed on Coco, then quickly adjusted his mindset and looked at Chang Rong.

“Actually, this day was bound to come sooner or later, because I know very well that you are not the kind of person who would leave suffering behind and move forward alone.”

Hiro knew very well that the boy before him would bear everyone's pain, even if it was unbearable, even if he had almost collapsed because of it... he would still try to bear it again and again.

"No matter what, I, we—will always be by your side, just like you did for us, Chang Rong."

Hiro smiled at Chang Rong and said.

—On the other side, next to the underground freezer—

"Oh dear, this is really putting me in a difficult position, Lady Meruru... Hehehe, I'm just a recorder who doesn't interfere with anyone's stance... Suddenly asking me to access data, especially data that the Creator Witch has deliberately concealed..."

"Great Witch...? No, no matter what, just this once, I really want to find her...!"

The warden tilted his head, looking troubled, while opposite him, Meru on Ice knelt on the ground with her hands clasped tightly, adopting a posture of devout prayer.

At this moment, it seemed as if the owl was the master, and Meruru was its servant.

"However, Lady Meruru's earnest and pleading posture is something I've never seen before in a hundred years... Is that young man Chang Rong really that important to Lady Meruru?"

“Yes, yes…! Chang Rong-sang, he’s different… He’s someone who can be family, just like the Great Witch!” Meruru mustered her courage and answered loudly in response to the owl’s question.

"There's nothing I can do... I don't know anything, you know? Because I'm just a cute little owl, and I don't know that the combination for the sixth drawer of the third cabinet on the right is 635, coo coo coo..."

The owl shook its head helplessly, muttering mysterious little numbers as it flapped its wings and flew away through the ventilation duct.

"Thank you so much, Warden... Waaah, I... I'll definitely apply for your retirement later!"

Meruru thanked her familiar profusely while quickly finding the filing cabinet the warden had mentioned.

As expected, although he used magic to erase the 'memory of the trial', the records of the third party still objectively recorded everything.

The 'Witch Trial Record File', recorded by an owl, is now placed in front of Meruru.

She nervously flipped through the documents, and as she saw one familiar photo after another, forgotten and buried memories gradually surfaced from the depths of her consciousness.

The Great Witch...? The Great Witch... participated in that Witch Trial?

And... Chang Rong-san, Holy Son—

Meruru saw the final outcome of that trial, nothing more than the insignificant 'total annihilation,' but... those few words contained too much distortion and destruction.

Ahhh... Ahhhh—

Panic and despair overwhelmed Meruru, making it impossible for her to even breathe.

She harmed everyone; the tragedy she orchestrated ultimately dragged even the Great Witch and the Holy Son into it, ending in the most ironic and cruel way.

"Ahhhhhh... Ahhhhhhh..."

No, this won't do... I'll be hated by the Holy Son... He won't forgive me, he could never forgive me...

What should I do? What should I do? Me, someone like me... someone who personally destroyed everything the Great Witch had hoped for...

...Hmm?

Meru's gaze fell on the corner of the filing cabinet, where a glass bottle labeled "[13]" and containing a clear liquid sat quietly.

Yes, that's right. If we kill everyone, we can keep it a secret, right?

Meluru on the ice caught the bottle of witch killer potion.

204. Ancient Battlefield Tour

"Come with me, Chang Rong."

After hearing the white-haired boy's determination to regain his memories, Nikaido Hiro pondered for a moment and finally decided to acknowledge his resolve.

The three headed to the basement. It seemed that Hiro had found the 'key item' a long time ago and hid it in his room for safety reasons.

It's worth mentioning that although the curfew and curfew restrictions were lifted after Meruru surrendered, most of the prospective witches still chose to sleep obediently in the basement. Chang Rong also asked Coco and Hiro why they did this, and their answers were somewhat ambiguous: "We've gotten used to it."

"Hmm... Although I've made up my mind, I'm actually a little nervous when it comes to actually doing it. What if I suddenly become a complete stranger to you all after I regain my memories?" Chang Rong asked with some concern.

"...You should read less of that nonsense literature. You're not some malfunctioning robot. What kind of punishment is it to retrieve data and then have your memory wiped out after a failed flashing process?"

Hiro rubbed his eyebrows, wondering if it was just his imagination, but although Chang Rong hadn't regained her memories yet, it seemed that the 'innocent rabbit' mode was starting to be gradually replaced by the original god-like rabbit.

It seems that no matter how many paths there are, in the end he will still converge and become the original God-like Descendant in the Mortal Realm, the 5th Mode. Is this the destiny that Chang Rong is destined for?

"Even if something goes wrong, I'll still be Onii-chan's little sister!" Zedu Coco said with a grin, nuzzling Chang Rong.

"Tsk... You're dreaming. Besides, you're still clinging to that virtual setting that's been debunked long ago?" Hiro yawned at Hakimi. His childhood friend and fiancée persona had long been forgotten, but Hakimi still called him "Onii-chan" without any hesitation.
