"This isn't a fake scenario! After leaving Witch Island, I'm really going to take Onii-chan with me to see 'my favorite,' live together, stream together and make money together, earn money to buy a house together, have kids together, and raise kids together—"

"A husband-and-wife team can't possibly become a hit and make money by live streaming. Have you even done any market research for your VTuber? ... Of course, all of this is just your wishful thinking, because—idiot rabbit, you're going to be coming home with me to meet my parents!"

At first, Coco and Xiluo would pretend to be good sisters because Chang Rong looked at them with pitiful eyes and whispered, "Aren't you best friends?" But now that their OC has collapsed and fallen apart, and their seemingly unbreakable alliance has also fallen, even in front of Chang Rong, these two no longer hide their true feelings and go straight for the mid lane.

"If I go to your house to meet your parents, will you arrange for me to go to XX firm to collect bad debts, or deliver the 'beef' in the trunk to Tokyo Bay for shipment? If I fail to complete it or something goes wrong, will you have to cut off my little finger as an apology...?" Chang Rong raised her hand and asked in a low voice about the precautions for visiting relatives at Xi Luo's house.

"How could that be! I've already said my family isn't some kind of gangster... That Emma is really something. But my parents do have very high standards. The requirements for someone to be worthy of me are very strict."

Hiro breathed on Sakura Emma in the air. It was all because of the pink and white puppy's mysterious testimony that everyone's impression of her now included the mysterious element of a 'gangster heiress'.

"Strict, is it... I'll try my best!" Chang Rong clenched her fists, striking a resolute pose, while wisely swallowing the rest of her sentence, "in order not to freedive in Tokyo Bay."

"Hmm—actually, you've already passed." Hiro looked at the white-haired boy in front of him, looked away, and said softly with a blush on her face.

"What's with this atmosphere where only I'm not good enough... Anyway, Onii-chan is mine!" Seeing that Heero was about to turn into a dragon, Zetsu Coco quickly interrupted, and the two of them started breathing on each other again.

So it turns out people really do fight over a virtual 500 million yuan being distributed unequally...

Chang Rong watched the two girls arguing over the unequal distribution of his usage rights and sighed inwardly.

—Wait a minute…it might not be virtual after all…^q^?

But he immediately realized that after everything was over, he, a real, living person, might actually be kidnapped by Hao Mao, or put in a sack and taken away by the dark side of the Nikaido family.

"Wait a moment—we found it."

During their casual conversation, the three of them arrived at Heero and Emma's bedroom. Heero walked to the bedside and reached under the covers to pull out a file folder containing a seemingly ordinary videotape and a small rectangular piece of paper that appeared to be a photograph.

"These are records from Witch Island, hidden by the Great Witch, along with photos showing the Great Witch's face. The videotapes contain information about the past of the original witches, but we probably don't need them for now. As for the photos... here you go."

Looking at the rather poorly photographed picture in his hand, Hiro pondered for a moment before finally handing it to Chang Rong.

"—"

Chang Rong took the photo, her eyes instantly locking onto the image on it.

It was just a sparse, ordinary snapshot with no composition, lighting, or artistic conception whatsoever; a mere three out of ten would be a very low score. The prospective witches were walking as if preparing to leave the reception room. At first glance, there was no 'information' about them, but... among those unfamiliar yet familiar prospective witches, the petite girl with long, silver-white hair, as white as snowflakes, stood out conspicuously.

"Ugh, Onii-chan..." "Silly bunny..."

Hiro and Coco were even more nervous than Chang Rong, since they didn't know what would happen after Chang Rong regained her memories.

Of course, it was even more difficult for Hiro. After digging Chang Rong out, she saw that the soft, amnesiac Chang Rong's brain was completely dominated by lust, and all her thoughts were focused on killing Chang Rong. To this end, she did not hesitate to give a lot of false evidence, but after all that trouble, she still didn't get to eat the meat.

If this guy regains his memories and goes back to all his actions during this period... I feel like he'll probably be mocked and talked about by him for the rest of his life...!

The two looked at Chang Rong nervously, while Chang Rong stared intently at the photo.

Fun fact: Time does not stop flowing.

After an unknown amount of time—Chang Rong's lips moved.

"I saw Nanoha Kaori and Meruru, but I don't recognize the others."

"...That's all?"

Hiro paused for a moment. As a key moment in regaining his memories, Chang Rong's speech seemed a bit too calm and bland.

“No, if I had to say, this girl—” Chang Rong pointed to the 'Great Witch' in the photo.

"She's so cute...! There's a kind of sacred feeling about her, and how should I put it... it's like she'd starve if left unattended, it evokes a protective instinct in me!" Chang Rong said excitedly to the photo.

"Okay, stop for a second!"

Hiro quickly pulled the photo back, stopping Chang Rong from continuing to shower her good friend from her student days, 'Tsukishiro Yuki'.

"Onii-chan, you... haven't regained your memories?" Sawatari Coco asked, somewhat confused.

"Hmm, it seems like I don't have a feeling my memories will return." Chang Rong tilted her head. The girl in the photo was cute, and she wanted to get close to her, but then that was it. It didn't give her that sudden, enlightening feeling that Kira had when he touched the Death Note.

"Huh—!? Don't joke around, you idiot rabbit, Yuki, Tsukishiro Yuki—no, it should be 'Sato Yuki,' don't you remember me at all?"

"Xiaoxue, Sato... Ah, is that her? My childhood friend? I never imagined she was the Great Witch... So, does that mean I had a past with the Great Witch?"

Chang Rong looked thoughtful, but more than that, he exclaimed, "I'm so amazing to be on such good terms with the Great Witch!"

"Hey Hiro, come here for a second—" Zetsu Coco quickly pulled Nikaido Hiro aside, and the two of them held an emergency meeting.

"W-wh-what happened, meow!?" "I don't know either...!"

When questioned, Hiro gritted his teeth and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand the current situation either.

According to the information from the second timeline, Chang Rong should have automatically regained her memories after seeing how 'Sato Yuki' was objectively recorded. However, it is clear that Chang Rong is not currently regaining her memories at all.

"Could it be that I chiseled the ice ahead of time and made him stupid...? Are the requirements for the timing of leaving the factory so strict?" Hiro reviewed the situation with some guilt. If there was any difference between the two retrospectives, it was probably just that Chang Rong was unearthed at a different time.

"Onii-chan probably doesn't have such precise requirements... Well, if all else fails, we can just commit suicide again!"

"Don't start swinging on the swings all of a sudden, you Hakimi! Calm down, um..." Shiro quickly held down Zetsu Coco, having already seen enough of the 'Am I going to die too?' scenario.

"Perhaps...perhaps the 'rewinding' itself is a difference between two timelines, and the reason why the idiot rabbit 'lost his memory' is actually different?"

Hiro pressed his forehead to his side, suddenly realizing something.

In the 'second loop' timeline, Chang Rong lost her memory because the 'Great Witch Xue' forcibly erased her memories with magic. But this time, the reason for her amnesia is that all her memories were sealed and covered up after the 'death rewind'.

In other words, the lock on the door to memory has changed. In this regression, 'Great Witch Xue' can no longer exist as the key to unlock all secrets. Finding a way to break the 'Death Regression Lock' may be the real key for Chang Rong to regain her memories.

"If that's how you think about it, then everything makes sense." "Although I still don't quite understand, since you're so talkative, I'll listen to you."

Shiro told Zedo Coco his guess, and the latter frowned, looking like she had been daydreaming in class and hadn't understood, but still chose to agree with Shiro's theory.

"Hmm...it seems there's no way to recover your memories so easily...sorry for making you come all this way for nothing."

Chang Rong rubbed her hair, feeling somewhat embarrassed that she hadn't quite lived up to their expectations of a 'sudden enlightenment'.

"What do you have to apologize for, you idiot rabbit? Besides, it's not necessarily completely impossible. If the Great Witch can't be the 'key,' then there must be something else that can be the key to unlocking the shackles of memory, like... um, do you remember this?"

Hiro seemed to remember something, and she took a notebook out of her pocket and handed it to Chang Rong.

"What is this?"

"This is my 'correction notebook' that I always carry with me. It has recorded a lot of violations related to you. Every ten violations will result in a penalty service to severely correct you."

"Eek!? I don't remember it, but it felt so scary...!"

"...But it's been abandoned now, haha, looks like it has no memory of it." Hero helplessly put the murder book back into his pocket.

I really miss the carefree days of the past, when I didn't have to think too much. All I had to do every day was record the silly rabbit's silly behavior, and once I had a full stack, I would go over and beat him up. Life was simple and happy.

"Then, what about this, Onii-chan! This is my phone. Do you remember when you used my phone to start a live stream of biting a lighter, and the warden took down the live stream on the spot?" Seeing that Hero had already taken out his relic, Zetsu Coco was not to be outdone and quickly took out her own phone to ask.

"Uh, um... sorry Coco-chan, I banned your account, but I hope I didn't lose any money?"

"Um... I didn't mean for you to apologize, Onii-chan." Ze Du Ke Ke frowned as she watched Chang Rong obediently bow her head and admit her mistake, even intending to compensate her with more than 700 yuan.

I had hoped that Chang Rong could use the object to symbolize people and recall the past, but it seems that this is far from enough.

The two who committed suicide were in a bit of a dilemma. They had come prepared for Chang Rong to regain her memories, but after all the trouble, they hadn't been able to recover her memories at all, which made everyone a little disappointed.

"Oh right... there's also this videotape, let's give it a try." Hiro suddenly remembered something else in the file folder. Perhaps the videotape of the witches' past experiences could awaken Chang Rong's memories.

The three arrived at the recreation room and, thanks to Milia's open-source projector, Hiro quickly figured out how to use the old projector.

This was originally an island inhabited by witches.

As the screen lights up, the past of the witch and the 'Last Great Witch' is once again revealed to the audience.

after a while--

"Humans are awful!" "Onii-chan is right!"

"But the Great Witch is a bit extreme!" "Onii-chan is right!"

"We have to find the Great Witch and wake her up with a kiss!" "Onii-chan is right!"

"Make her clean up this mess!" "And make her just watch as our Onii-chan gets fucked!"

"Huh...?" "Well, um, I mean, let her get a good verbal lecture from Onii-chan..."

"What are you two doing..." Hiro sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation as he looked at the two of them, who were singing in unison but eventually locked eyes with each other.

It seems the videotape failed to bring back Chang Rong's memory, which makes things even more difficult for Xi Luo.

"It is said that revisiting a familiar place and being reminded of the past may awaken memories... Do you still remember this place, Chang Rong?"

Hiro thought of another way. She led Chang Rong to the confessional and pointed to the small room where one of the doors had been removed for some reason, and asked about it.

"Does Hiro have something to confess to me? Don't worry, I'll keep your secret. And I know very well that sometimes you have to do crazy things to escape your family, right? Like driving a truck while eating mille-feuille and crashing into a courtroom—goohoo!?"

"I told you I'm not a gangster, you idiot rabbit—!"

Hero lifted the unlicensed pastor high, then pointed to 'the former study'.

"This used to be your dormitory. You spent countless days and nights here. Occasionally, some strange characters would appear, such as the mysterious lock-picking girl, the mysterious barking girl, the mysterious super-strong girl, the student council president who cared about everyone, and so on. Don't you really remember all those days?"

"It feels like some incongruous, righteous character has snuck in... But even if you're talking about the past, Hiro..."

Chang Rong looked at the 'study' in front of her, which had been transformed into a confessional and was completely unrecognizable, and still couldn't think of anything.

"Even, even that gloomy, landmine-like girl An'an was taken down by me in this very room, Onii-chan...!" Zetsu Coco quickly added.

“That’s right, and here, you and I also went through a very special event together… uh… anyway, we went through a very special event together!”

Halfway through his sentence, Hiro suddenly blushed and waved his hand. Even Zedu Coco, who was standing next to him, had steam rising from her head as if she had imagined some terrible scene.

"...??"

Chang Rong was completely bewildered by the two riddle-solving people who suddenly blushed.

—What exactly have we been doing here? We can't have been making oatmeal in An'an's funeral hall, can we?

"Hmm? Sawatari Nikaido, and Changrong... what are you doing?"

"Meow!?" "Ugh—!?"

Arisa, who was passing by, noticed the group of people crowded at the entrance of the confessional and walked over to greet them with some curiosity. However, for the two who were still immersed in the afterglow of the earth-shattering battle and savoring it repeatedly, the sudden appearance of one of the parties involved gave them a jolt.

"W-nothing happened!" "That's right, nothing happened, don't worry about it—"

The two of them blushed with embarrassment and ran away without even saying a word to appease each other.

"...??? Am I... disliked...?"

Arisa Fujito looked on in bewilderment at how quickly the two of them ran away, then wondered if she was being disliked and being treated with cold violence, giving off a pitiful expression as if she was about to drop a pearl.

"No, no, no, Arisa! They're just trying to help me regain my memories!" Chang Rong quickly tried to soothe Arisa.
