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

Volume 1: 40. You have work to do? If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself!

"In short, if you want to make a name for yourself in the live streaming industry, you either need to be good enough or be rare enough!"

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about..."

After recovering from reviewing the kill replay, Chang Rong's incessant chatter gave Ze Du Ke Ke a bit of a headache.

"If you have big enough breasts, go play the piano in the music section," "If you have a seductive voice, go get an arcane magic blade in the music section," "If you have a genius personality, go cover Hakimi in the music section"—I don't understand a single one of this guy's suggestions.

—But then again, while this weird rabbit is indeed very good at talking nonsense, was this its personality before? It feels more like... it's just making small talk to avoid thinking about anything?

Ze Du Ke Ke felt a subtle sense of déjà vu about Chang Rong's current appearance.

Although they hadn't been imprisoned on this isolated prison island for long, most of the aspiring witches quickly found their own hobbies to pass the time.

My roommate, Hannah Tono, loves sewing Fumo dolls; the executed Magu Hosho loves spending time in the library; Noah loves drawing; and An An, who has been sticking to Noah lately, loves writing.

The essence of these behaviors is to temporarily detach themselves from the anxious and irritating reality of being imprisoned on a prison island as a prospective witch, and to briefly escape into a familiar, illusory world free from any threats or pressure.

Of course, I also have my own way of escaping reality, which no one else knows about, and that belongs only to me and 'my push'.

As for Chang Rong, although we don't know what happened to him, this weird rabbit is now completely looking like he wants to give up, stop thinking, and escape the current situation.

After realizing this, I didn't find this unpredictable, eccentric veteran so terrifying after all.

Zedu Coco secretly stuck out her tongue, but she immediately realized something even more serious:

...No, that's not right. Doesn't that mean that this sadistic rabbit's method of 'escaping and relieving stress' involves torturing itself like this?!

The despairing and cruel truth (placed before Ze Du Ke) made her feel like she was about to be turned into a demon. In an instant, Ze Du Ke felt her hair standing on end.

"Forget it, all that talk is just empty talk. Here, give me your phone."

"Eeeee...!? What are you doing...!"

"Hmph, of course I'll show you the ultimate technique of the live streaming world! Watch closely and learn well!"

Chang Rong grabbed the phone with the keycap, opened the live streaming app, quickly changed the title, and then selected to start the live stream.

After Chang Rong pressed the button for local area network live streaming, all the aspiring witches located throughout the Prison Island castle simultaneously received a push notification on their mobile phones:

[Ze I Du Ke Ling Ke Zheng Yi Zai Zhi Qi Bo Si: "Let's Talk About the Correct Topic of Wine V—I—I Er I Kaido Qun Xi Luo Why Keep Her History of Selling Hooks?"]

Almost instantly, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded double digits.

[Nikaido Hiro]: Sawatari Coco, don't use titles that can cause misunderstandings... Hmm? Idiot Rabbit?

[Natsume Anan]: Hurry up and bring it up, we can't wait any longer! Please update!

[Noah Kinosaki]: Hmm, what does "selling hooks" mean? Noah has absolutely no idea.

[Saeki Miria]: Uh, how should I put this... Can I say this...?

【Kurobe Nanoka】: Selling fishing hooks? There's nothing surprising about that, at least it's legal.

[Hanna Tono]: Why does it sound like you've also sold illegal things like Desuwa!?

【Sakura Emma】: gkd

【Sakura Emma】rewarded 100 Witch Factors

【Sakura Emma】rewarded 100 Witch Factors

【Sakura Emma】 has bookmarked the live stream.

[Nikaido Hiro]: Sakuraba... Oh my god—!! And you, Chang Rong, you bastard!

"So many people... almost all of them clicked in?" Ze Du Ke Ke stared wide-eyed at the scrolling comments on the screen, looking incredulous.

On the entire prison island, only Zedu Coco would stream herself for fun. However, apart from the first stream when more than half of the prospective witches clicked in out of curiosity, at other times only one or two people would click in to save face and then AFK.

"Hmph, the most important thing about a live stream is, of course, the hype. It doesn't matter if the news is true or false, we have to create some news first!" Veteran Chang Rong said, "I've made more costumed characters than you've eaten sushi. This kind of shoddy stuff is nothing."

"Oops, sorry, sorry, I made a typo. Why does Nikaido want to preserve her mygo history? Of course, it's because the most dazzling girls are the beautiful girls who freely express their youth on stage while holding musical instruments. And right now, we have such a stage girl who longs to stand on POSITION ZERO and be reborn as Starght—Coco-chan!"

"Gah-woo meow!?"

Chang Rong sneered, then turned the camera to Ze Du Ke Ke. However, Ze Du Ke Ke seemed completely unprepared for Chang Rong's actions, and was startled for a moment, letting out a super-insignificant sound as she froze on the spot.

"Uh, uh..."

Watching the scrolling comments on the live stream screen B, from the initial 1 comments to various questions, and then to a sharp decrease in frequency, Ze Du Ke Ke only talked about other things from beginning to end, swallowing her saliva and uneasily shifting her gaze.

Why are you just staring at Sawatari Coco?!

Chang Rong frowned when he saw Ze Du Ke Ke's unusual behavior.

—Didn't this guy say he wanted to become a super streamer like 'I Push'? But why does he look like Hakimi who just got his tail stepped on and his balls ripped out?

Could it be that this guy... although he always acts like he's doing something big and attracting attention, is actually afraid of other people's gaze, especially 'gazes filled with expectation and anticipation'?

She loves to breathe air on people, but if someone breathes back at her, she immediately becomes soft and cuddly. She enjoys torturing others, but she can't stand the judgmental and expectant looks from others.

...He's just as difficult to deal with as Hakimi.

"Ahem, hmm, our Coco-chan doesn't seem to be feeling too well because she didn't get any honey water today. Anyway, I'll continue broadcasting from now on—by the way, since we're in a remote, lawless place like Prison Island, I'll show you a ruthless act that's been completely forbidden outside!"

If they continued to torture Zedu Keke, it felt like she was going to lose her pearls. Chang Rong immediately moved the camera back to herself, then picked up two lighters from the table in the living room, skillfully holding one between her teeth and lighting the other to her lips.

"Follow me! Double tap, double tap~~! Watch closely, brothers—especially Arisa Fujito, you should learn a lot!"

*Pfft! Splat!*

An explosion was accompanied by a fireball bursting out instantly, and the crushed lighter sprayed outwards. The fuel was instantly ignited and exploded by another lighter. However, this cool scene only lasted for less than 1 second before dissipating.

"How about that? I told you, your livestreams either need to have products or entertaining content, now everyone can start sending gifts... wait a minute?"

"...Wh-what's wrong?"

Startled by the Great Fireball Technique, Ze Du Ke Ke noticed Chang Rong standing there in a daze, so she cautiously peeked out to check on him.

Following Chang Rong's gaze, Ze Du Ke Ke saw the image displayed on the phone screen:

[We apologize, but your live stream has been permanently banned due to violations of relevant laws and regulations. 浵铃妻君, 羊禁]

"..."

"Hey, it's nothing. Which costume actor hasn't reincarnated a few times before becoming famous, right? Ahahaha, hahaha, goo goo goo!?"

"You idiot...you stupid, pathetic, useless rabbit...!!!"

Zedu Keke, who had been somewhat haunted by Chang Rong's cruel behavior, finally mustered the courage to unleash her full power of Thorn Overload Breathing Mode on Chang Rong after witnessing firsthand how her beloved livestream room was wantonly played with and humiliated by this white-haired boy, and was ultimately left in ruins and never to return to its former state (referring to permanent ban).

"You still have something to say—forget it, let's skip the formalities and just get started."

As dinner time approached, a scene reminiscent of the afternoon played out once again.

Although Chang Rong was kneeling in the center with a cold sweat on his face, and Ze Du Ke Ke was whimpering and shrinking to the side, dropping small pearls, this time the attitude of 'Demon of Law, Executor of Justice, Right Judge, Hiro Nikaido' was completely different.

Hiro, who had been inexplicably betrayed, wore a mournful smile as if he were looking at the deceased, his knuckles cracking.

Damn it, at this rate, I'm really going to get sick from carrying all this... Oh right, Emma Sakura! Let our little angel Emma say a few nice things—

"Let's use this, Hiro-chan. Please let Changrong-kun be free as soon as possible... I'm counting on you."

Emma Sakura presented the fire poker to Hiro Nikaido with both hands, and her gaze toward Chang Rong was like that of the angel of death before bringing eternal silence to the world, with the last trace of pity and longing.

—I just used clickbait to slightly mislead you, it's not like you're that upset!? Sakura Emma, ​​I knew you were a born evil pink-haired bastard!!!

But I still have His Highness! Rhea-sama, save me!

"You're clearly my number one supporter, but you've gone and collaborated with other people to do live streams... Today you're promoting one streamer, tomorrow you're promoting four, and the day after tomorrow it's eight... As an idol, I've really defeated you, Chang Rong."

—Lady Rhea, ahhhhh!

It wasn't until the moment when Chang Rong was exposed to the ravages of the scorching sun, that Chang Rong realized why some people wanted to preserve their history of selling hooks—because such things are hard to hide.

"That guy's brain is full of ice shards, so don't take it too seriously. But after this incident, I hope you can learn a lesson, Zedu Coco. Not everyone will tolerate your sharp tongue, and there will be some guys with rabbit fur in their brains who won't fall for it."

"Coco-chan... how about we think of other ways to do the live stream? There's always a way. Maybe we could try talking to the warden...?"

"You did the right thing. When that guy has an episode, you should just give him a good beating, like the gorilla woman did!"

"Tsk, I don't know what you're planning to do. To be honest, I'm actually a little gloating—but if you're planning to get rid of that bastard, count me in. I'm always ready to roast rabbit with you."

During dinner, everyone sat down next to Zedu Coco and offered some rare words of comfort and guidance to this girl who was always a loner and had a foul mouth. The scene looked so warm and youthful, except for the tattered rabbit fur rag on the floor, which seemed a bit out of place.

Volume 1: Chapter 41. I can't carry it, I really can't carry it...

Some readers felt the previous chapter was a bit too intense; we will address this issue in future chapters. We apologize for any negative impressions.

Sigh, it's all because of the gag manga Hiyori; sometimes I overdo it when writing prank scenes.

Please forgive me (bowing deeply).

Ring ring~ Ring ring~

"..."

In the bedroom and study, Chang Rong lay on the sofa, staring silently at the bell in her hand.

Although I had acted foolishly, the irritability in my heart did not dissipate. Instead, it felt like a wad of cotton was stuffed in my chest, causing me great discomfort.

It seems that petting the cat wasn't as effective as I'd hoped, especially since I ended up getting scratched by it because of my incorrect petting technique...

To be honest, aside from the less-than-ideal initial impression of Ze Du Ke Ke, Chang Rong's biggest feeling about this girl was—

Does this child have some kind of mental problem?

Although he was the most senior among these girls, having only spent two days with them in total, Chang Rong was still able to glean some insights into their personalities and social circles.

Most people, whether spontaneously or passively, will form closer, more intimate small circles. Of course, there are also lone wolves like Kurobe Nanoha, for reasons unknown, but whose stories you can tell at a glance are telling.

Or perhaps it's 2 wisteria 1 Ari I Sha? This kind of true Sigmundane lone wolf, she almost never contacts or communicates with any other people. She constantly practices the theory of 'stay away from others for a long time'. |uShaan'er

The behavior and survival principles of these people are somewhat understandable, but Sawatari Coco is the only one who claims to be a loner, yet she likes to interact with others in a way that's just asking for trouble. And occasionally she'll say things like, "Hehe, memories of the second time around, this time I must survive..." which are completely nonsensical. She's utterly clueless from head to toe.

Well, to put it simply... he has the look of someone who could easily become a victim.
