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

Chang Rong was completely bewildered. Although he didn't understand the current situation, for some reason, his body's instincts were screaming at him to run away.

Is it because the three prospective witches in front of me are all poised to unleash their domains simultaneously, while I'm just an ordinary, non-magical Muggle holding candy with a 'what...' expression?

No... Listen more carefully.

My body's instincts seem to be saying, "Stay and fight to the death!"...?

-

Thanks to Chenguang Moxin for the salted fish spike!

-

I bought some melatonin. I hope it will help me sleep peacefully and return me to the world of the living soon once it arrives...

253. You bunch of clueless witches, come at me all at once!

This was the first time Chang Rong had faced three prospective witches simultaneously in a difficult situation.

I'm just kidding, this isn't the first time, nor is it particularly difficult.

As a man who had defeated half the number of Ip Man's Sigma in one go during his first time participating in a group activity, Chang Rong was actually more confused than scared or flustered by the sight of the three girls shouting and simultaneously unleashing their domains (?). He was wondering, "What are you guys doing all of a sudden?"

"Chang Rongjun... Chang Rongjun—"

After being unusually excited and activating battle mode, the girl who fired the first shot was, unsurprisingly, the pink and white-haired girl, Emma Sakura, who looked the softest and most submissive.

Emma's cheeks were flushed crimson, and her breath, hot and heavy, escaped from her cute little cherry-like mouth that revealed her canine teeth. She swayed slowly toward the white-haired boy, her eyes filled with the primal allure of a bone-in steak as she looked at him.

"Wait a minute, Emma...didn't you agree to separate the times? Although I'm a little confused, is it really okay for you to all pounce on Arisa during her date time like this?"

Chang Rong slowly stepped back and reached out to try to calm Emma down, while gently guiding her, hoping that this girl, whose mind was inexplicably occupied by primal instincts, could regain her composure.

"I'm so sorry, Changrong-kun... Arisa-chan... Although, although that was the agreement at the beginning, but... Waaah... I'm such a bad kid, aren't I? Huh? Waaah...!"

Emma shyly shook her head and refused Chang Rong's suggestion. She still slowly approached the boy, but suddenly her foot slipped and she fell forward in a disheveled manner.

"Are you alright, Emma? — It doesn't look like that cute little fall you did before, it really didn't land properly... Could it be that the dog got sick after eating the chocolate... No, no, Emma isn't a real dog!"

Chang Rong quickly reached out to help Emma, ​​who didn't seem to be faking the fall, while also complaining that he had really been fooled by Emma's superb acting skills and had actually treated this pink and white little dog like a dog.

But if it's not a rejection reaction caused by the puppy eating chocolate, then what's wrong with Emma's current unusual behavior?

No, it's not just Emma—

Emma, ​​whom he had caught securely, snuggled against Chang Rong's chest. Before Chang Rong could shake off the clingy dog, whose breathing was getting heavier and heavier, Kurobe Nanoha also slowly approached from the side.

"Wait, wait a minute, Emma... Anyway, calm down first and come with me to the infirmary—um, um... no, no, I'm a little... Chang Rong! Since we're accomplices... if I, I might commit a little crime, would that... be allowed...?"

At first, Naoya Kaori seemed to be trying to pull Emma away, but as she got closer to Chang Rong, the blush on her cheeks deepened, and in the end she simply pounced on her, trying to push Emma, ​​who was enjoying Chang Rong all to the side, while panting in a formulaic manner.

"Waaaaah—!? Nanoha Kaori, wait a minute... Seriously, what's with you guys looking so weird right now..."

Before the pink and white puppy could be dealt with, the black-haired, twin-tailed, bandaged cat pounced right after, causing Chang Rong to almost lose her balance and be knocked to the ground.

Looking at the two girls in front of her with their cheeks flushed red, Chang Rong felt that the strange behavior of the prospective witches was familiar, as if she had seen this scene somewhere before.

"Arisa—Nanoha and Emma have been acting really strange... Anyway, could you come and lend a hand?!"

In this emergency, Chang Rong used her left hand to firmly hold Emma's face to prevent her from kissing her, and her right hand to hold onto Nanoha Kaori's cycling hat to stop her from getting any closer to her. At the same time, she quickly sought help from the 'only pure-love normal person', Shito Arisa.

however……

"Seriously... Sakuraha, Kurobe... it's one thing for you to secretly spy on my date, but now you're trying to exclude me at a time like this...? This time, I won't give in...!"

"^q^way!?"

Arisa, who should have been Chang Rong's lifeline, seemed to have become a different person at this moment, rushing towards him without any regard for the consequences.

The white-hooded hedgehog tried its best to suppress the burning heat on its pale face, clumsily and diligently rubbing its head inside the hood, like a soft, cuddly hedgehog desperately trying to squeeze a hole between a pink-haired puppy and a black cat.

But Chang Rong, who had been tackled to the ground and used as a pillow, had no energy left to appreciate the animal world before him. He looked frantically at Arisa's expression and listened to her increasingly rapid breathing, finally realizing where he had seen this déjà vu before—

Chang Rong had actually witnessed Arisa's strange state twice before. One time was before Hiro performed the death rewind, during the group's farewell party (?), and the other time was after Arisa fell ill from a fever and was resting, during which she exhibited bizarre behavior in her hospital bed.

Arisa's two extremely unusual and audacious actions were later proven to be caused by accidentally ingesting a 'strange potion'. Therefore, by the same logic, we can infer that Arisa's current extremely abnormal behavior, as well as Emma and Nanoha's similar condition...

They all took the wrong medicine.

As the three men tackled him to the ground and ripped off his clothes, Chang Rong finally pieced everything together!

Why does Naoka repeatedly emphasize that chocolate can only be eaten when the two of them are together? Why is Emma so nervous about the 'candy exchange' and even has to secretly follow along?

Why did Nanoha suddenly send me away for a while when the atmosphere was peaceful? Why did Emma make a gesture of reaching into her pocket for candy after pouncing on me in the sunroom?

The mystery has been solved—it's synchronicity! Naoya Kaori and Emma both chose the candied fruit path, but through a series of unforeseen events, each of them became the murderer who poisoned the other, ultimately falling into the trap at the same moment.

The mystery of the witch's trial has been solved, so now only one insignificant question remains—what should I do?

The pink-haired puppy had started rubbing against her chest incessantly. Nanoha was clumsily groping around, while Arisa was desperately swallowing her saliva, forcing herself to let her emotions overcome her reason.

Surrounded on the ground by three prospective witches, he was clearly beyond saving and had fallen into a dead end with a bad ending.

In this desperate situation, Chang Rong suddenly remembered an ancient proverb:

Life is like a reaping rumble; if you can't fight it, then try to enjoy it.

Unlike Hero, who could commit suicide and rewind time to defy fate, Chang Rong, currently surrounded by three lowly women and facing imminent collapse of her last line of defense, made her decision before being completely devoured—

He strained his hands to reach out from the encirclement of the prospective witches, forcefully snatching the chocolate and candy without the slightest hesitation, and simultaneously popped the most satisfying piece of chocolate and candy in the world into his mouth.

"Eek—!!"

In an instant, a powerful primordial force surged, exploded, and surged wildly within Chang Rong's body! Damn it, how could these naive and inexperienced aspiring witches possibly resist such a strong desire and such an overbearing obsession?

"Woof...!" "Woof...!" "Ugh!!"

The three prospective witches suddenly felt their bodies come to a standstill as if pulled on a switch, and Chang Rong seized the opportunity to turn the tide of the attack, instantly regaining control of the situation.

"Huh... So this is the stimulant effect of the Iron Synthesis... That's good. You bunch of 'one in ten thousand' witches, come at me all at once."

Chang Rong slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. His longing for the Great Witch, his obsession with leaving Witch Island, and his sense of responsibility entrusted to him by the successive Great Witches—all these shackles that had been entangled in his heart were now shattered into dust. Only an indescribable sense of ease, comfort, and bliss remained in his mind.

"I feel... incredibly refreshed."

Chang Rong pointed one finger to the sky and one to the earth, declaring to the witches with an air of absolute authority.

"Hmm... Chang Rong-kun has suddenly become so vain... But, but, in front of me, who possesses 'Demon Slayer Magic' and is like a natural enemy, Chang Rong-kun, you can only be treated as a loli...!"

Emma was taken aback by Chang Rong's sudden change, but the pink-haired puppy quickly bit her lip, trying to regain her composure. She knew her constitution was special to Chang Rong; if she just bit him lightly, even the arrogant Chang Rong would soon be unable to withstand it, turning into a whimpering little rabbit lying on the ground, letting her devour him!

"Hehe, Emma...you can give me Dendrobium off the west—though I want to say that, you're the next one."

"Next...?" "Ugh...!? Chang, Chang Rong...??"

Emma tilted her head, but before Arisa, who was beside her could figure out what was going on, was suddenly teleported behind her by Chang Rong, who then grabbed her hand without mercy and instantly refined her.

For Chang Rong, this was not the most difficult battle he had ever experienced. In the last playthrough, he had experienced a bloody and tearful battle of 1 vs 5. Moreover, this time he had even taken some potions.

What he wanted was not 'victory', but to crush, conquer, assert sovereignty, and absolute dominance (?). Therefore, he had to use overwhelming force to completely annihilate these three scheming witches and the unfortunate passerby Arisa.

Having experienced watching Coco's entire VIP live stream of the team battle in the study, Chang Rong had a more comfortable solution to the current situation.

Emma's constitution is indeed troublesome, but when facing her activated self, she can only whine and bark at Little Pearl. Therefore, if the goal is to achieve an overwhelming victory without any suspense, the best approach is to use someone else to stack the Conqueror's Soulstealer stacks first. The soft, shy, and very obedient Arisa naturally becomes the best choice.

I'm sorry, Arisa. It wasn't me, Chang Rong, who harmed you; it was this chaotic world that ruined you!

"Ugh... No, it shouldn't be like this..."

Zifang Arisa, who was suddenly attacked by Chang Rong and pinned to the grass, had her scarlet eyes flashing left and right. She tried to escape but had nowhere to run. Instead, she was completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum.

“Ming, I haven’t even confessed yet… but…”

Looking at the boy pressing down on her, Arisa Fujito swallowed hard, trying to calm her racing heart.

"But... Chang Rong, if you don't mind, please use me as you wish. I... I will definitely... do my best to serve you until the very last moment—"

After a moment of panic, Arisa Fujito finally responded in this way. At the same time, she stopped struggling and obediently went along with Chang Rong, even though her cheeks were so hot that she could heat up a medicine bottle while driving a train, she still tried her best to keep up with Chang Rong's rhythm and pace.

Thanks to Arisa's cooperation, although Chang Rong lacked some of the competitive interaction of training pets, his memories from two playthroughs made him exceptionally adept at interacting with Arisa.

However, even though Arisa was gritting her teeth and not resisting, and was extremely docile in letting Chang Rong absorb the witch factor, she couldn't keep teasing or demanding things. If she didn't control the rhythm and the degree, Arisa's body temperature would rise due to being too shy or too excited. If that happened, she wouldn't even have time to use 'magic ban' before she turned into a roasted chicken or a roasted bird due to the high temperature.

Therefore, when facing Arisa Fujiwara, after proper adjustments, if the water temperature is about right and the timing is suitable, the nuclear reaction suppression cooling rod must be inserted immediately to prevent Arisa from melting and exploding.

Once the suppression rods are successfully connected and assembled, the subsequent actions can be much bolder and more aggressive.

At first, Arisa tried to keep up with Chang Rong's pace, but she soon couldn't keep up with such a high-intensity training group and could only force herself to stay upright so as not to collapse completely on the ground like a tofu block.

"Grit your teeth and hold on, Arisa! Isn't this your favorite scolding session? If you don't get up soon, I'm going to kick your butt hard with my boots! I'm not done yet, as a Yamato Nadeshiko, you need to try harder!"

Chang Rong, who had accidentally taken too much and was extremely high, loudly scolded Arisa, but Arisa could only pant and shake her head in apology.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Chang Rong... But, I... Waaah...!" Arisa, her cheeks burning red, couldn't even muster the strength to apologize.

"Enough, enough...! It's about time Arisa-chan took a break, Changrong-kun! From now on, I'll be your opponent!"

"Wow, instead of running away, she's walking towards me! Oh my! What a touching sisterly bond!"

Seeing Arisa's miserable state, on the verge of fainting, Emma finally couldn't bear it any longer. The pink-haired girl mustered her courage and stood in front of Chang Rong, trying to use her own body to save her companion who was about to reach her limit.

When Chang Rong saw Emma approaching, a sneer of disdain and excitement crept onto his lips.

"Don't underestimate me, Chang Rong-kun... I'm not like Arisa-chan at all—get ready to take this!"

Emma, ​​brimming with confidence in her special physique, breathed on Chang Rong and pounced on her, and then—

"Woof woof woof... Yes, I'm sorry... I, I'm a bad kid... Please forgive me, woof—"

Just like how Zedu Coco was instantly killed when it hissed at Emma, ​​the silly little dog that hissed at Chang Rong was almost unable to mount any effective attack and was taken down by Chang Rong on the spot.

—Sorry Emma, ​​you're facing Sigma, a man with plenty of experience petting dogs. I know all the forbidden spots on your body by heart. Plus, I just stacked Mejai's Soulstealer, Lethal Tempo, and Sinful Sense with Arisa. Right now, you're just an amateur dog!

Chang Rong pressed Emma down next to Arisa, who had already stuck out her tongue and made a fool of herself, and thought to himself as he envisioned an animal world after the rainy season.

Practice makes perfect. After the thorough battle in the study, Chang Rong had a clear understanding of the weaknesses of these people. The second battle, under the effect of the steel elixir and the activation of the full-scale attack, was a complete one-sided crushing defeat.

Emma's touch and feedback were still top-notch. The little dog's thin, fair, yet soft skin would blush and whimper as she was stroked.

Unfortunately, like Arisa, Emma is also the type who can't be played with freely. However, unlike Arisa, who would explode if she looked at her again, Emma's Demon Slayer physique is too incompatible with his, preventing them from building up their relationship for too long in the early stages. Chang Rong could only maintain his stamina by exchanging breaths through kisses while employing a fast-paced, relentless attack using a Western-style fighting style.

—Sorry Emma, ​​this was so rough and direct… Anyway, let’s make this little idiot suffer a bit more, and let Hero take the blame!

"Chang Rongjun... you idiot... you sadistic idiot... woof woof..."

Emma's attempt to rescue Arisa not only failed, but she also ended up sacrificing herself, soon becoming a pathetic and weak woman lying on the ground, barely able to breathe, unable to even straighten her crooked leg.

"So... in the end, it's you left, my accomplice, Nanoha Kaori—"
