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

Upon hearing the warden's words, everyone who had just been in Ouendeto instantly became agitated.

"No wonder you idiot rabbit deliberately orchestrated this kind of total annihilation ending; so this was your plan from the beginning...!?"

Having grown tired of the COS corpse, Hiro approached, veins bulging on his forehead, and directly questioned Chang Rong whether he had been eyeing this scheme from the very beginning.

Chang Rong has gone mad! He's going to launch a new witch trial!

"Waaah... Could it be that Chang Rongjun has gotten tired of everyone's current style and is planning to use this method to bring in a whole new batch of girls with different attributes...?"

Emma looked pitiful and asked in a low voice. She timidly tugged at Chang Rong's clothes with one hand, and looked at Chang Rong with watery eyes, just like a stray puppy sitting at the door begging not to be kicked out of its home.

"Noah, Noah will be a good boy, Rongrong, please don't abandon Noah... Noah, please stop feeding Rongrong these weird drinks, okay? Rongrong, come back soon...!" Even Noah was terrified. She threw away the mysterious sweet drink that was supposed to make your brain crash just by smelling it, and pounced on Chang Rong, turning into a sloth and stubbornly refusing to let Chang Rong disappear and run away to start a new harem.

"I didn't mean that at all...!? This ending was just a coincidence, and I just wanted to show off a little... By the way, why are you all interrogating me? I'm not even the kill king in terms of KDA!"

Surrounded and tortured by the crowd, Chang Rong was sweating profusely and complained loudly. At the same time, she hurriedly tried to shift the blame, saying that the root cause of the current situation where "all the mother chickens are dead" was not just her own effort.

"Speaking of kill count, who is the real kill king this year?" Hearing Chang Rong's explanation, Xi Luo, who had been trying to muddy the waters and pin the rabbit down, was stunned for a moment. She put one hand on her chin and began to seriously think about who was the real top-secret prison clearing king.

"These random numbers are meaningless to calculate... and don't put your competitive spirit into something so absurd!" An An complained, waving her loose sleeves. As a nobody who was easily defeated by Sherry's "excuse me," no matter how many kills she counted, it wouldn't change the fact that she was destined to be a nobody.

"No, that's right... Anyway, let's have a celebration banquet first. It will be easier to ask Chang Rong about his intentions then, won't it..." Emma was still determined to eat, or rather, she was able to eat while thinking about whether Chang Rong was planning to build a new harem. This was already a significant improvement for Emma.

"...Speaking of the victory celebration, what I'm more curious about is who the real 'champion' is in this kind of ending?" Kurobe Nanoha Kaori said with a serious expression. She hadn't joined everyone in celebrating the successful conclusion of the battle royale, but had been thinking about who the real winner was in this kind of ending.

"So that's really true?" "The champion...!" "Mmm..."

Upon hearing Nanoha Kaori's question, everyone's interest was piqued again.

In the end, Chang Rong was the one who won, but that was only because Arisa maliciously quit the game. If Arisa and Chang Rong had really gone head-to-head, the former should have easily roasted the latter to a delicious, juicy perfection in half a minute.

"Hmph, what's the point of discussing a question with such an obvious answer? The winner is—kono榕榕哒!"

Chang Rong clenched his right fist, pointing his thumb at himself, and proudly announced the outcome of the competition to everyone. Naturally, he was the true Sigma man who stood until the very last moment.

"Huh? Does that mean Watson can fulfill one of his own wishes?" Sherry said, holding up a magnifying glass with a surprised expression.

"So, in other words, Chang Rong actively chose someone to favor... No, that's not right, there's also the possibility that she chose several at once...!"

Hannah, standing to the side, blushed instantly and quickly covered her face with her fan, seemingly already imagining some ominous scenes in her mind.

"Tsk, so this is how it ends? But... it doesn't matter. You know the rules, right, Chang Rong?"

Hiro frowned and clicked her tongue, but she quickly regained her usual elegant and confident demeanor. She even patted the side of her thigh to indicate to Chang Rong that she had almost recovered and that if they did it again, at least this time she wouldn't be as disheveled as the first time, unable to even get out of bed.

“We—” “Noah—”

"You two, get out of my way, meow...!"

Even the kids joined in the fun, with one waving a sketchpad and the other a drawing board, desperately trying to make their presence known, completely obscuring Sawatari Coco who was bouncing around trying to pop up behind them.

"Lord Changrong... If it's alright, I'm fine with that too...!" Meruru said seriously, clenching her hands together. The front armor swayed as she clenched her arms and lifted it up, making Rhea frown. Milia, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief after comparing the two armors with her eyes.

A group of girls looked at Chang Rong. Although each of them had a different expression and their actions and words had nothing in common, everyone, including Marge, was incredibly curious and excited about who Chang Rong would choose to favor next.

"Hehehe, hehehe, with so many adorable magical girls, which one should I choose to pamper? Or should I just choose one of them all—no, no, no, what am I supposed to choose?! Didn't you say something vague like 'I will grant the champion one wish' at the beginning? Why is everyone assuming I want CCB?!"

Chang Rong swallowed hard, revealing an expression of pure ecstasy, but before making the irreversible choice that led directly to the bedend, Da Tou still managed to kick Xiao Tou, who had taken the high ground, down in time.

"Since I am the final champion, then don't blame me for making a wish for a peaceful and tranquil life—"

Chang Rong paused halfway through her announcement and then stopped speaking.

On one hand, he knew very well that even if he wished "no one should fuck me," it would have no practical value and would most likely only make the company president have more fun playing the kissing game...

If saying you won't get raped if you don't rape, then there wouldn't be such a good partner as Shirley in this world!

On the other hand—

Chang Rong noticed Zifang Arisa watching him from the crowd. After a moment of thought, Chang Rong suddenly changed the subject.

“I declare—my wish is to leave this wish to Arisa to choose.”

Chang Rong looked at the white-haired girl wearing a hood and announced softly.

"Um, me, me...?"

Upon hearing Chang Rong's words, Arisa's ruby-like eyes widened instantly, revealing a cute expression of confusion and bewilderment. For a moment, she even wondered if she was hallucinating because she had been thinking about Chang Rong.

"I'm sorry for making you run around with me all this time, and in the end I even had to make you use magic. It must have been very tiring, right?"

"No...that's not true..."

Chang Rong smiled and said to Arisa, who gently shook her head, then quickly buried her head in her hood, turning into a crab lying on the sand because of shyness.

"Wait a minute, when did Arisa-chan take off her mask?"

"Really! I was wondering why Arisa seemed so cheerful today, turns out she wasn't wearing a mask!"

"Ugh... I miscalculated! I was planning to use my cool and reliable side to carry out the 'gap moe' operation, but Arisa beat me to it! Damn it, I was so focused on how to deal with the stupid monster that I forgot about the possibility of other people interfering... What a blunder!"

As Chang Rong spoke, the group of people looked at Arisa and noticed the subtle changes that had occurred in this punk-like, firecracker-like girl.

"Puffing up in anger!! I knew it! While we were risking our lives and fighting to the death over there, you idiot Watson, you were dating Arisa and grinding down her affection level. They've already unlocked the next level of affection with her new artwork! Seriously!"

Detective Sherry, with an all-knowing expression, angrily pointed her magnifying glass at Chang Rong and loudly complained. Sure enough, when she caught the two of them in the courtyard, they were flirting and trying to build rapport!

"No, no, no... how about Noah swaps spots with you? Noah can draw 10... no, 30, 50 pictures for you! They're all mass-produced by the magic AI assembly line anyway... Anyway, please give your spot to Noah! This is really important for your balloon teacher!"

Some people have already started trying to steal the spoils of victory. When facing his fan Arisa, the 'balloon artist' Noah Kinosaki has changed from his arrogant attitude of 'I won't even sign the floor for you!' to his humble attitude of grabbing Arisa's long dress and trying to use AI to create an image in exchange for the chance to have his wish fulfilled.

"Ha... It's just a chance to 'fulfill a wish,' why are you all reacting so strongly? Especially Noah, your behavior is undoubtedly 'wrong,' so tone it down!"

"Arisa was one of them anyway, so it was only a matter of time before she ended up in Onii-chan's bed..."

"Mmm, Lord Changrong is really popular... No, but seeing everyone's single-mindedly supporting Lord Changrong makes me happy too. Anyway, I've already dedicated myself to Lord Changrong..."

"Haha, everyone, don't go too far, Romeo will get annoyed too."

Not everyone was fighting over the spot. Some of them were clearly not as anxious as the other prospective witches. They seemed to be commenting on the scene with the ease of experienced people.

—How strange... Hiro-chan, Coco-chan, even Meruru-chan and Rhea-chan are the same. This...this kind of relaxed and carefree attitude as they watch others get into a fight is really strange, and the number of them is increasing...!

Meanwhile, Emma Sakura frowned as she looked at the group. She should have put more pressure on Coco Zetsu back then. They definitely had some hidden secrets. This was her intuition as a demon of law!

"Oh dear, everyone is so naive. This is clearly a scheme by Brother Chang Rong to divert attention and sow discord, causing infighting and division among everyone. No matter who gets the spot in the end, it will cause dissatisfaction. What a vicious tactic..."

Baosheng Mag smiled and looked at everyone, speaking softly.

"Oh, it really is like that!" Hannah suddenly realized, and the others also said that they almost fell for it.

"So, in order to break Chang Rong's despicable scheme, it's better to give the spot to me, the con artist—"

"Turns out you were just scamming people too!" Hannah exclaimed, realizing she'd been completely fooled.

Everyone gathered around Arisa, each using their own methods to try and get Chang Rong's one-day usage rights from her (?).

"I can write a novel with a standalone protagonist for you... wait, I'll come after I finish the one about the gorilla girl!" "Noah can draw lots and lots of pictures for Sasa..." "I can hand over the West Coast supply chain to you...!" "Hehehe~ We're good roommates, good roommates should help each other, right, Arisa~? And I'll help you find lost cats for free in the future!" "I, I can mend all your tattered clothes... no, but that's more like style, right...?" "Uncle, I-I-I-I can provide free legal consultations!" "Hiss hiss hiss!!"

"Wow... Wow, so many people! Everyone's so close together... And they're all so enthusiastic..."

Just as everyone surrounded Arisa, taking turns seducing her, Arisa, who had been hiding in her hood, finally exploded. Her already flushed cheeks reached the critical point of a fission reaction, and the next second—

"No, Arisa's situation is a bit... bad, bad, bad... silly kids, run!!"

Chang Rong, who had been watching the show with amusement, suddenly realized something. He looked at the crowd in a panic, his face contorted with fear, and shouted.

however--

boom!!!!

With a deafening roar, the courtroom, much like the Scarlet Devil Mansion, ended its usual routine of scattering in all directions.

"【Coo coo coo... So I already said, the script for a total wipeout is NG, so it can't be used as evidence for perjury...】" The warden, who was thrown and stuck to the window frame, complained with a look of utter despair.

In the end, Chang Rong originally wanted to withdraw his 'champion's wish' to prevent the war from continuing, but Arisa shook her head instead, her expression becoming much more determined.

"I... I won't exchange this 'wish,' but... I need some time to think about what I should wish for."

Arisa whispered this while pulling at her hood, still too shy to bear hiding in a corner, but she still made sure to express her thoughts to everyone.

After hearing Arisa's response, everyone realized they had no chance to fool the child, so they all scattered like birds and beasts. At most, a few witches with particularly deep obsessions gave Arisa and Chang Rong a look that said, "I will keep watching you..." before leaving.

However, before they had gone far, the warden, who was completely enraged, called them all back.

"【I already said we can't use the explosion ending, and a lot of footage from previous versions needs reshooting! Don't think I can just throw in some random footage and create a video that's foolable to humans. I'm just the warden, not some blue-headed old man!!】"

It's rare to see the warden forget to even mention Gugu's catchphrase; it's clear this master of slacking off was truly exasperated by the prospective witches' abandonment of their duties.

Ultimately, because of the reason that "it would be easier to edit the video after removing Chang Rong directly," all the prospective witches except Chang Rong were arrested by the warden and reshot to make videos to fool the government.

The only good news is that because of the groundwork laid in the previous version, this reshoot is basically a revenge-seeking process, which will be several times faster.

"Emma has had a tough time too... Don't worry, I'll prepare a celebratory feast for you all when you get back."

After watching Emma's resentful, murderous gaze fade into the distance, Chang Rong sighed softly.

While the others went to re-record video segments, Chang Rong himself wasn't idle either. He went to the flower field to clean up the 'Losers' Exit Group Spectator Seats'.

"Waaaah... What on earth happened here...?"

When Chang Rong arrived at the flower field, she was stunned. The area that should have been the 'spectator seats' was filled with paint, bullet holes, floating flowers, scraps of paper, and stones that looked like they had been chiseled by a tunnel boring machine, as well as land that had been plowed by tentacles.

The chaotic scene piqued Chang Rong's curiosity about what had happened here. Could it be that they really had a revival match here...?

Despite her complaints, Chang Rong still picked up the cleaning tools she had brought and began cleaning the area.

Leaving aside the areas with extensive damage that Meruru had to endure even more hardship for now, Chang Rong quickly cleaned up the flower field considerably.

After tidying up, Chang Rong sat down on a chair under the parasol and took out a photo from her pocket.

The photo is a 'group photo' of Chang Rong and her former companions, but it's a group photo with many people missing, and even the figure of the big witch who likes to do somersaults is not in the picture.

This photo originally belonged to Chang Rong, but it ended up in Meruru's hands at the end of the witch trial. After the 'Border Rift', Meruru returned the photo to Chang Rong.

"This time everyone has indeed had a peaceful and happy life... but we absolutely cannot be satisfied with the status quo. We will definitely meet again, right everyone?"

The 'ordinary daily life' that Alice and her friends once longed for has truly come to life on Witch Island, but this brief moment of happiness is not the point; it is merely a temporary resting place on this journey.

Since this is a world of love, miracles, and magic, no matter what price she has to pay in the end, even if she can't protect her kidneys and has to say goodbye to her second brother... Chang Rong is determined to continue on, just so that everyone can meet again one day.

Although the day they meet again will most likely be the day she says goodbye to her second brother for good... Chang Rong still made up her mind: she would walk the path of certain death alone, and these nagging witches could come at her all at once.

Thinking this, the Iron-Blooded Sigma man revealed an enlightened expression, then got up, glanced at the rainbow above the flower field, and then—walked towards the kitchen.

To prevent Emma from accidentally unleashing her Demon Slayer spell due to hunger and sending all of humanity flying into the sky, Chang Rong felt it was necessary to prepare dinner in advance.

"Wow, Emma, ​​she's looking through it so carefully! And she seemed to linger in front of the ketchup bottle for quite a while. Could she be contemplating the possibility of making ketchup out of thin air...?"
