Chang Rong recalled the scene from the night before she regained her memories, when Mag climbed onto her hospital bed late at night. Although in the end, Mag was just a talkative and arrogant person, ordinary girls generally wouldn't do such a thing!
However... even with the risks, considering the necessity of summoning Xiaoxue, I still have to go find her.
"Watson's left and right brains are starting to fight each other! Looks like he's under a lot of pressure!"
Knowing that she was once the S2 champion, Tachibana Sherry looked at Chang Rong, who was constantly covering his face and twisting his body, and gave him a helpless yet caring smile.
Chang Rong, in order to prevent people from dying, had to run around the Witch Island castle, but in the end he still could not avoid a series of tragedies.
Now, Chang Rong has to run around the castle again to prevent people from dying, but he still couldn't avoid a series of tragedies.
Perhaps this is the tragic fate of Sigma men! But the one standing here now is no longer that weak, subservient self! Instead, he has formed bonds with countless girls, exchanging his true self with them!
Next, I will never have sex again and will speedrun through Witch Island!
—This is the determination that Chang Rong, the person in charge, made in her heart before the start of the biggest silver party in the history of Witch Island.
Thanks to Chenguang Moxin for the sudden, unexpected help!
Thanks to Admirer for the treat!
260. She's always been very good at giving her husband green leaves.
After making up for the missed S2 championship vote, Chang Rong left the underground bedroom and wandered around the corridor while pondering the current situation.
"Aha……"
Although he impulsively declared that he would never sleep with anyone and would lead everyone to a one-life victory, actually figuring out how to do that proved to be a problem.
To put it bluntly, I've actually lost control of the 'one-life clear' situation. I'm kind of like a tool in an RPG game, responsible for carrying the team in the early game, but gradually becoming obsolete as my stats fall behind in the mid-game.
Aside from providing emotional, psychological, aesthetic, and relaxation value to the aspiring witches, Chang Rong doesn't feel she can do anything more in the matter of 'summoning the Great Witch'.
Through conversations with other great witches in the gaps at the edge, it is learned that the 'witch awakening ritual' is indeed genuine. Moreover, judging from the series of astonishingly intelligent operations and plans after Xiaoxue, her ultimate goal is to rely on Shiro's death rewind as a shield for the Demon King. She had no choice but to entrust the nuclear button to Emma for safekeeping, hoping that they could eventually break the deadlock of the witch trial and find a way to awaken or resurrect the 'great witch'.
Therefore, the 'execution ceremony' is actually the final key to unlocking the gate, but the problem is that I have no say in this key.
In the previous timeline, Chang Rong had tried to decipher ancient books in the library, but aside from almost ruining everyone's escape dreams with his spittle, he was constantly harassed by Hiro, who was cosplaying as a sadistic teacher, in the library... which did nothing to improve the deciphering progress.
Moreover, the people required for this ritual are all 'witches,' which obviously conflicts a little with their own gender.
In other words, Chang Rong had no way to interfere with how the ceremony was carried out or the ceremony itself. This gave him a sense of frustration at being unable to use his power, and he immediately fell silent after his grand speech.
What are you doing?
"Hiro? Did you finish arranging the flowers?! Waaah!? No, don't do anything rash! I admit I've been rude lately, but there's no need to suddenly go into screen-clearing mode! Calm down, calm down first!"
A familiar, authoritative yet dignified voice came from behind. Chang Rong turned around and greeted the owner of the voice, who was Xi Luo, who had been arranging flowers earlier.
However, upon seeing Hiro, Chang Rong was instantly terrified and activated his Spinner form, hurriedly trying to calm the Yamato Nadeshiko before him.
"...What are you talking about? Are you having another episode? What screen clearing mode? What are you messing around with?"
Hiro tilted his head, puzzled as to what was wrong with this idiotic rabbit, why it was suddenly breathing out in response to stress.
At this moment, Hiro's crimson eyes were tightly furrowed. She had a long sword at her waist and a glass bottle marked with the number 13 in her left hand. No matter how you looked at it, she seemed to be fully prepared to clear the map.
"No matter how you look at it, you're the one having an episode...! What kind of decent person would dress up like this for no reason and go out like this! No matter how you look at it, you're in the form of a king who's planning to crush everyone—ga-pu!?"
Chang Rong pointed at Xi Luo and loudly complained, and unsurprisingly, she was lifted high and strangled on the spot.
"Whenever I try to be gentle with you, you say something nonsensical. Anyway, Chang Rong, is this what you mean?"
After physically silencing Chang Rong, Hiro sighed helplessly, then raised the dark red ritual sword that had been tucked into his waistband and tapped the witch killer potion in his hand.
"Ahem... That's right. No matter who sees you suddenly wandering the corridor with that sword on your shoulder and a murderous expression, their first thought will be that you're planning to clear the map and start a new playthrough..."
Chang Rong pointed at the mysterious woman in six outfits in front of her and complained.
"What image do I have in your heart... Anyway, I just had some guesses and wanted to test them out. It was not easy to end this meaningless witch trial through time travel and your efforts. Did I have something crazy in my head to commit a murder?"
Hiro sighed, but did not continue to criticize Chang Rong. Just as Tachibana Sherry had analyzed before, after being subtly influenced by Chang Rong and after the "mutation" caused by "getting to eat" as a key catalyst, Hiro had finally brought out his long-forgotten "Yamato Nadeshiko personality" again.
"Oh, I see... I was a bit overreacting. Sorry, Hiro. I thought you were planning to get rid of me first and then the others..." Chang Rong swallowed and muttered under her breath.
If the same outfit were worn by Arisa, Garaele, and Reyja, Chang Rong wouldn't have a shred of suspicion, given their proven harmlessness and tendency to mess things up. However, if it were Emma and Heero, Chang Rong would indeed be slightly intimidated.
"I'm more curious about what you meant by 'I was wrong during this period'—"
"It doesn't matter, just forget about it!"
Chang Rong smiled smugly and gave Xiluobi a thumbs-up, trying to cover up the fact that she had been secretly seeing other men for casual sex these past few days.
"You idiot rabbit from Asakusa—ha, never mind."
Hiro glared at Chang Rong, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly, there was nothing he could do about the white-haired boy in front of him.
She wouldn't actually hurt him, so even if she yelled "I'm going to kill you!" and lunged at him, she would only get killed in return.
It's a pity that I, the dignified student council president, have upheld the path of justice for so long, but in the end I capsized because of this idiot rabbit. How could I have been so foolish as to fall in love with this kind of guy?
"So, what are you doing? Just wandering around like an idiot?"
Hiro shook his head, put the ceremonial sword away, and asked Chang Rong with his arms crossed.
"Although in the end I was just wandering around... I'm actually struggling with the meaning of my existence and the fact that I made zero contribution to leaving Witch Island."
Chang Rong rubbed her hair and honestly told Xi Luo about the thing that was bothering her.
"Zero contribution...? You're acting up again, just as I thought." Hearing Chang Rong's troubled words, Hiro frowned. Then, as a seasoned rabbit breeder, he immediately made a judgment on Chang Rong's current situation—if the child keeps getting inflicted on himself, he's probably doomed. A good beating will... cough cough.
"No, no, no, I'm serious, Hiro! It seems like it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not... Neither the ritual's process nor its deciphering has anything to do with me. I feel like an NPC who has completed their historical mission, and there's nothing I can do to help."
Chang Rong sighed and explained that, currently, his role on Witch Island seemed to be nothing more than a stress-relieving toy for the witches. In fact, if everyone's current experience were a game that hadn't finished yet, or an anime planning a second season, his only remaining mission would probably be to die instantly, leaving the prospective witches with lifelong regrets, and then start Season 4…
"I never expected you to think about things like this... I thought your mind was only filled with rabbit fur and color gamut."
Hearing Chang Rong's troubled complaints, Hiro showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then said in a low voice as if deep in thought.
"I'm not that kind of sadistic guy, okay!" The good boy Sigma Man, whose rabbit head was controlled by the Color Domain Little Head and who had slept with several prospective witches in one go, quickly retorted.
"Hehe, I know, so this is just a retaliation for your misunderstanding earlier." Hiro smiled, the self-proclaimed absolute righteous student council president and disciplinary committee member who could guide the world to good order still showed the mischievousness of a girl when facing the boy in front of her.
"In short, Chang Rong, there are two wrong points in your idea."
After the joke, Hiro's smile faded, and he held up two fingers to Chang Rong.
“First of all, you’ve got one thing wrong. Chang Rong, your very existence is a help to everyone. In fact, it could be said that it is because of your existence that the ‘Witch Resurrection Ritual’ can be carried out.”
"Uh...?" Chang Rong blinked, not quite understanding the meaning behind Hiro's words.
"It's only in terms of being incredibly oblivious to things related to yourself that you have a bit of the feel of a protagonist in a youthful romance, you idiot rabbit."
Hiro rubbed his eyebrows, realizing he had to be more explicit.
"Don't you understand? If it weren't for you, many people wouldn't even want to leave here. It is because of your efforts that everyone has the courage to escape Witch Island and return to their original lives. It is also because of you that many people have the vision and motivation to leave this place."
In the third playthrough-limited "Unbreakable Sisterhood Alliance," Hiro obtained a lot of information about the first two playthroughs from Zetsu Coco. This also made her realize that without the white-haired boy in front of her as a variable, Anan, Noah, Milia, and Arisa might never have had the desire to leave Witch Island.
"It is because of your existence that everyone's hearts, which were troubled by the witch factor, were soothed. It is also because of you that everyone was willing to leave this isolated island and return to the 'society' filled with their own unbearable past. The fact that this ritual could be carried out is itself a result of your help—so there is no need to overthink those things, understand?"
"Hiro...slurp—"
"Even though I know you understand this, there's no need to suddenly have a runny nose and wipe your eyes!" Nikaido Hiro was startled by Chang Rong's reaction.
"No... I'm just... so touched. I didn't realize I'd helped so many people without even realizing it... I thought I was just a sadistic and cruel scumbag with a penchant for Cylinder fusion, someone who only thought with his lower body, didn't know how to be gentle with women, and would be executed by the criminal law for cosplaying as Hathaway's electric shock kid..."
"Well, these two points don't conflict."
"^q^Way!?"
Hiro nodded in agreement with Chang Rong's accurate self-assessment.
"Anyway, although I don't know what's wrong with you this time, the fact that we can all work together to move forward right now is a miracle in itself, thanks to your help. You can be more proud of that—but don't get too cocky, or I'll really give you a piece of my mind."
"OK……"
It's no wonder they've been living together in the dark room since the beginning of Season 2 (?), Chang Rong didn't even have time to get cocky before being exposed by Xi Luo, who knows him inside and out.
"Now, let's move on to the second point—there are actually some things you can help with right now, or rather, only you, Chang Rong, can do them."
Hiro cleared his throat and held up his second finger.
"Hmm? Is there anything else about me? Um... let me ask first, it's about something other than O's handling... right?"
"You monstrous rabbit, your brain is just full of lewd nonsense!!"
Hiro's cheeks instantly turned bright red as he loudly complained.
"However... if you really insist on this, it's not impossible to ask you for help..." The disciplinary committee member turned his head away, blushing as he muttered softly.
The physically formidable warrior, Hiro, who could fight his older sister to a standstill, felt much better after a few days of rest. His back and legs were no longer sore, and he was naturally eager for a rematch with the "Demon Rabbit." This time, he was confident he could summon the Demon Lord and adapt to his demonic attacks to successfully turn the tables and defeat him!
"Anyway...!"
Hiro quickly shook her head. She was a Sigma woman who was supposed to guide the world towards good, how could she have cesium on her mind!
“I have some doubts about the process of the ‘witch resurrection ritual’ itself.”
Hiro forced himself to calm down and steered the conversation back to the main storyline.
"Is there a problem with the ceremony?" Upon hearing this, Chang Rong also lowered his head and began to think.
"Well, what we know so far is that the last ceremony was not successful, but there may be two reasons why the ceremony failed."
Hiro raised the ceremonial sword in his hand.
"First, the ritual itself lacks the necessary correct conditions. For example, the sword may not be genuine, or the Ice Meluru who once took the Witch Slayer Potion may have lost her qualification to be summoned as the 'Great Witch'."
"So, Hiro, you became like this because you were planning an experiment."
Chang Rong nodded. So it wasn't that King Da hope was fed up with his lowly daughter eating too much and couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to fry her first and then fry her into sand. How ridiculous!
"Hmm, I plan to give it a try. But to be honest, the chances aren't very high, since the ritual swords are kept in a safe by Meruru, so it's unlikely that they'd be swapped out like 'one sword from Witch Island, one sword for me'."
“So, Hiro, what you suspect most is—” Chang Rong realized something. In fact, he had vaguely guessed it as well, but he had never gone into that direction.
“That’s right—I suspect that Marge concealed some details or conditions of the ritual.”
Hiro nodded and voiced the idea that Chang Rong had briefly considered.
The only con artist who wasn't caught and affected by the 'Changrong Circle'.
The only girl with androphobia who never expressed a desire to leave Witch Island.
The only... normal 00-year-old girl who didn't try to directly confront Chang Rong—Bao Sheng Ma Ge.
As the one responsible for translating the witch's resurrection ritual, she could naturally manipulate the process and conceal the conditions required for the ritual.
