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

Realizing this, Emma suddenly moved close to Chang Rong, almost to the point where their noses were touching.

"Since Changrong-kun said I'm cute... then—how do I compare to Hiro-chan?"

"Huh?"

The sudden probing questions from the pink-haired girl caught Chang Rong off guard, but this deadly interrogation had only just begun.

"Who's cuter, Hiro-chan or Coco-chan? How about Rhea-chan or Meruru-chan? Hey, Changrong-kun, who's cuter—"

"Wow wow wow..."

Emma, ​​who looked as if she had been possessed by a female ghost from past dynasties, instantly frightened Chang Rong so much that he obediently shrank back.

"Why don't you answer, Chang Rong-jun...? It's because, as expected, I have absolutely no advantage over them in Chang Rong-jun's eyes, right..."

Emma transformed into a vengeful ghost, relentlessly questioning Chang Rong, almost demanding to know why he launched the Seed of Light, why he shut down the defense system, why he didn't execute the plan and instead went to the grass cat, and why he deleted the game files.

—What's going on? Emma used to have a tiny bit of a pink-on-black side, but she never acted this outrageously... Wait, I get it!

Chang Rong suddenly realized something: although Emma had retained a part of her almost instinctive love and affection for him after experiencing the death rewind, she had not inherited the life-and-death separations, hardships and painful experiences that she had gone through with everyone in the second time around.

At this moment, all Emma knew was that she liked Chang Rong, but Chang Rong seemed to have a deeper and clearer 'love' for the other prospective witches.

In other words, the Emma in front of us is a more possessive, more cunning version of the killer dog...!

However, understanding this point does not provide any real help to the current situation... Chang Rong looked at the girl with empty eyes so close to him, swallowed hard, and changed the subject.

"That's not true, Emma! You are definitely a special existence—that's right! Compared to you, Emma, ​​Hiro's appetite is simply negligible! Meruru's common sense is also far inferior to Emma's, you have more puppy-like cuteness than Coco-chan! And you are more serious and proper than Rhea... uh,!"

Chang Rong had a sudden inspiration and responded to Emma in this way, while observing the girl's reaction—

Pfft! !

"Whoa!?"

It was obvious that Emma was extremely dissatisfied with Chang Rong's answer, and without saying a word, she tackled Chang Rong to the ground.

"As expected... as expected, to Chang Rong-jun, I'm just a boring and uninteresting idiot... Since that's what Chang Rong-jun thinks, then... as expected, the only way for someone like me to leave Chang Rong-jun with some 'special' memories is through some extreme methods—"

Emma straddled Chang Rong, her two slender legs encircling his flesh. One hand caressed Chang Rong's chest, while the other reached into his pocket, seemingly searching for something.

Excessive? Exceptional? Oh no, oh no, oh no—

Chang Rong, pinned beneath him, was drenched in cold sweat. This little dog was really going to eat him! Where's Nanoha Kaori? Where's Arisa? Help! Your unbreakable, non-aggression pact is about to be unilaterally torn up!

"Because of my physical condition, Chang Rong-jun, you might accidentally knock me unconscious... If that happens, I can't guarantee what will happen afterwards... So, consider it a promise for our date, Chang Rong-jun, please try your best to stay alert..."

Emma licked her lips and chuckled. At this moment, she had completely changed, revealing her dark side and transforming into the powerful Emma, ​​the evil Emma, ​​the bad girl Emma.

"Waaaaah, calm down, Emma—!"

Chang Rong, pinned beneath her, was still trying to calm Emma down and prevent her from attacking her owner in a moment of impulse. Besides, if she really did kill her owner, it would be Emma who would faint from shock.

However, if I were to say that at a time like this, Emma would probably just take it as a provocation and become even more excited...

On the other side, Emma revealed a somewhat sinister and dangerous smile, the kind of smile that should only be seen on Margot.

"I'm very calm, Chang Rong-jun... In fact, I've been thinking about this action for a very, very long time before finally deciding to do it—"

Emma smiled and took something out of her pocket. Because of the dim light, Chang Rong couldn't see what it was at first glance.

But just before Emma was about to put that thing in her mouth—

"Huh? Can't it be opened from this side... Is this a key? Ah, it can be inserted."

Hannah Tono's voice suddenly came from outside the door hidden in the storeroom that connected the sunroom to the interior of the castle.

"Kiang...!? Hannah-chan? How, how could this be...? I clearly left the door open...!"

—I made the right bet!

Seeing the panicked expression on the pink and white-haired girl riding on his back, Chang Rong instantly revealed a wicked smile that seemed to confirm his plan.

Although Emma's 'evil dog' personality overshadowed her 'soft and kind girl' personality in this playthrough because she didn't experience enough events with everyone, no matter how she switches, Emma's core nature is still that naive and innocent girl. She doesn't yet have the thick skin to openly and honestly CCB in front of others.

Faced with Hannah's intrusion, Emma was momentarily flustered. She quickly stuffed the item back into her pocket, but then became disoriented and unsure of what to do next.

Taking advantage of Emma's confusion, Chang Rong immediately broke free from the dog's control. He casually removed the dog ears from Emma's head and stuffed them into the gap, while also picking up a vase and pouring the water from it onto his own head.

"Crack!"

After completing this series of operations, the door to the sunroom was pushed open, and golden twin tails peeked out from outside.

"Whoa, why has this sunroom suddenly become so dark... Hey, Emma, ​​you idiot knights? What are you... what are you doing?"

Hannah Tono was first startled by the sunroom, which was completely dark, before noticing the two people on the ground nearby, who were in a rather disheveled and confused state. She quickly asked what they were doing.

"Oh... it's Miss Hannah. Emma just tripped and fell. We're fixing a light bulb."

Chang Rong pointed to her wet head and said with a smile, then gestured to the dim light bulb on her head.

"Um... well, are you two alright?" Tono Hannah blinked. Although the scene looked very strange no matter how you looked at it, she didn't press the matter further, but instead asked the two of them with some concern.

"It's okay, it's okay—right Emma?" Chang Rong looked at the pink-haired puppy who was still sulking after failing to steal a bite.

"Ah... umm, we're alright, Hannah-chan. It was all my fault for being so reckless, hehe..."

Having been given such a way out by Chang Rong, Emma had no choice but to get up and give Tono Hannah an awkward and shy smile in an attempt to smooth things over.

"Seriously... you could have called me to fix a light bulb! I can swing on a chandelier with ease—no, I mean I can float up and change a light bulb with ease!!"

Tono Hannah quickly shook her head to correct her statement, trying to stop Chang Rong from recalling her embarrassing past in the battle royale segment.

"Hehehe, it's all fixed now, Hannah-chan... Um, so why did Hannah-chan suddenly come here? I made sure to lock the door..."

Emma laughed it off, then asked with some confusion why Tono Hannah had respawned here.

"Oh, I just happened to see the key next to me, so I tried it and it opened the door. Also, I don't know why, the location alert software from the battle royale went off again, and the location was right here, so I came over to take a look at Desuwa."

Tono Hannah took out her phone and showed it to the two of them. The red beeping light on the phone was right in the sunroom where they were.

"It seems like there's a bug in the software. Anyway, I don't need it anymore, so I'll uninstall it."

"It seems like this is the only way. I knew Meruru's software was unreliable!"

At Chang Rong's suggestion, Tono Hannah uninstalled the battle royale app. Then, the blonde twin-tailed young lady looked at Chang Rong, whose head was wet, and swallowed hard.

"Um... your clothes are all wet, how about I help you wash them? Chang Rong, you can also try on the new clothes I sewed, I guarantee they'll be much cooler than that idiot Meruru's version—I mean, much cooler!"

Seeing Chang Rong's expression, Tono Hannah seemed to realize something and immediately extended an invitation to the white-haired boy in front of her. However, before Chang Rong could respond, Sakura Emma, ​​standing to the side, instantly bristled and quickly stepped between the two.

"No, no, no need! I accidentally got these on there, so I'll take care of them! Well then, thank you, little dumpling, goodbye!"

Sakura Emma unleashed a full combo of QWERTY and DF, then without waiting for Hannah's response, she grabbed Chang Rong and ran away.

"Huh...? Emma's been acting weird since she woke up this morning...?"

Watching Emma drag Chang Rong away in a panic, the poor young lady tilted her head, looking confused.

And speaking of which... would a man and a woman really decorate a room like this in broad daylight just to change a light bulb?

Standing under the dim light bulb, Tono Hannah was completely unaware that she was the biggest and brightest light bulb in Emma's heart.

Thanks to Chenguang Moxin for the sudden, unexpected attack.

Thanks to Admirer for the feeding.

250. Emma is special!

On the other side, after dragging Chang Rong away, Emma first went to the shower room, took a towel from the supplies room and handed it to Chang Rong to wipe his body.

"Thanks, Emma." Chang Rong took the towel and said casually, as if the guy who was tackled to the ground and almost raped a few minutes ago was not her.

"No... rather, I should be thanking Chang Rongjun for clearing things up..."

Emma Sakura responded softly, while secretly observing the phone placed to the side while Chang Rong was wiping his body with a towel.

— Chang Rongjun's phone seems to be working fine, and the battle royale prediction app hasn't been activated at all... Could it really just be that I'm just unlucky?

Emma frowned, and at the same time, Chang Rong finished his simple cleaning and walked to Emma's side.

"Um... how should I put it, Emma... since we're still on a date, how about we treat what just happened as a Lostbelt and do something else that's more in line with the 'date' atmosphere?"

Although the experience of almost being groped by the pink-haired dog made Chang Rong want to run away even more, he also knew very well that Emma had come with a certain awareness today, and if he didn't take corresponding action, the child might really get suffocated.

As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. Since a young girl has gone astray, it's my duty to guide her back to the right path!

Of course, the main reason was that after Hannah's interference, Chang Rong became more courageous to believe that she wouldn't be butted by the dog for some reason.

“Something more in line with the atmosphere of a date…?” Emma blinked. All her plans and preparations were just to get rid of Chang Rong in the sunroom, without any backup or hidden resources. So now she had to ask Chang Rong for help.

"For example, watching a movie together—"

"As for the recreation room... umm, that's fine too!"

Upon hearing Chang Rong's suggestion, Emma thought for a few seconds and then immediately nodded happily in agreement.

—If it's a recreation room, I shouldn't be disturbed! And locking the door there would be more convenient.

Chang Rong was unaware that Emma's only requirements for 'entertainment activities' were 'privacy' and 'easy to lock the door'.

After the two arrived at the recreation room, Chang Rong had just stepped inside when Emma, ​​who was following behind, clicked the door shut and simultaneously took out another decorative item from her bosom—

"A collar...? Um, you shouldn't need something like that when watching a movie normally, right? Haha...?"

Chang Rong looked at the red collar in Emma's hand, suppressed a laugh for a long time, and then asked a question.

"In that case, as long as we don't go to the movies, it'll be fine... Hehehe, Chang Rong-jun, Chang Rong-jun~~ Do you want me to put this collar around my neck? Or does Chang Rong-jun sometimes want to experience it too—beep beep beep!"

Emma was interrupted by the sudden ringing of her cell phone before she could finish speaking.

The girl with pink and white hair took out her phone somewhat unhappily. She intended to turn it off and continue immersing herself in the date, but the content displayed on her phone made her pause for a moment.

[It's Emma and Rongrong! What are you doing?]

The sender's ID was Noah, and the accompanying text was a photo of himself in the entertainment room, holding a 'mysterious ring object', along with a white-furred rabbit looking troubled.

"Wait... what's that across the window—!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Emma finally realized where the photo came from. She quickly looked up at the balcony in the direction of the atrium, and sure enough, on the balcony of the hidden studio opposite the atrium, balloon artist teacher Noah Shirosaki was waving and greeting the two of them with his phone.

"Emma looks so excited! Is she playing with Rongrong? Can you bring Noah along too?!"

"Um, well—we're just here to find study materials, Noah-chan, you can continue with your work!"

The studio curtains are usually kept drawn all year round, but Hannah washed them a couple of days ago and didn't put them back in. She forgot about it, and Noah next door almost got a live view of it!

Even if I draw the curtains in the recreation room now, it won't help. If I stay here, Noah will definitely come looking for me...
