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

"Hmm... Although the process was incorrect, it's hard to say whether the result was correct or not, but your awareness is at least correct."

Even Nikaido Hiro nodded in agreement with Chang Rong's false testimony.

Aside from Emma Sakura, who for some reason revealed a strange, dark will after hearing this explanation, as if she was planning to do something bad in front of Chang Rong and get caught by him, the others still believed the explanation for the time being.

—Hmph, they're even easier to fool than that nest of baby night herons in front of my house!

Looking at everyone who had regained their credit, Chang Rong sneered disdainfully.

However, if we want this set of false evidence to be completely valid, the most important thing is still... Tachibana Sherry.

There are only lock pickers who spend a thousand days picking locks, not lock changers who spend a thousand days changing locks.

I can't always be there to clean up after Shirley Tachibana. If this blue-haired genius makes another self-destructive statement like before, even a god wouldn't be able to save her.

Chang Rong looked at the blue-haired god with some unease, while the head of the detective agency also looked at Chang Rong at the same time.

Those amber eyes stared unblinkingly at the white-haired boy, and his lips, which always wore a carefree, silly smile, did not curve into a smile at this moment.

“I understand, Watson.”

"...?"

"Do you need my atonement? Then let me atone for my sins with the rest of my life."

"—"

Looking at Tachibana Sherry, who spoke these words with a serious, even solemn tone, and without any silly grin, Chang Rong was stunned this time.

then……

"No, no, no, that's incorrect! Absolutely incorrect—!!!"

"If you're not Gorilla Girl, then who are you, Desuwa!?"

"Hmm... I knew it. I have to... I have to become a bad kid too..."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand... (pulls back the bolt)"

"This... this super popular drama series finale - the male and female leads finally got together, the doctor's speech before the ending is... what's going on?!"

There was once a song that said love is like a ding-dong machine. And right now, these tragically orphaned girls are experiencing the most thrilling rollercoaster of their lives—their impending suicide.

Volume 1: Chapter 53. What Are They Fighting For? (5K)

"Oh dear~ No wonder everyone calls me the 'little fairy who can cause trouble,' it seems that Sherry-chan really does possess the magic to manipulate everyone's emotions~!"

"..."

After the commotion subsided, Tachibana Sherry returned to her previous carefree, goofy expression as she bought sunflower seeds for the idiot.

This time, however, everyone else looked at Tachibana Sherry with suspicion, all of them guessing that 'it's hard to say, maybe she faked her death'.

This extraordinary blue-haired man has done far more than anyone expected so far.

While everyone thought she was joking, she actually went for it (in a physical sense).

Just when everyone thought she was about to be eaten, she faked her death and came back to life!

Just when everyone thought she would behave herself after being released, she ignited a conflict with a single sentence.

Just when everyone thought she was just carefree and brainless, she suddenly unleashed gravity magic, and a single "Ikkyu" gravity spell instantly put everyone on high alert.

Sherry the fool, Sherry the scheming, Sherry the Cthulhu.

"Anyway, although things seem to have gone wrong in various ways, please continue to support the Monster Detective Agency in the future!"

Shirley Tachibana completely ignored the suspicious looks from everyone and continued waving her magnifying glass. Chang Rong, on the other hand, was sweating profusely as he pressed his hand against Shirley's abdomen, fearing that she might accidentally tear open his stitches again.

"Speaking of detectives... well, actually, there is something I'm looking for, desu."

"Oh my! A customer has arrived so quickly! Hannah, Hannah~ Hey, what are you looking for? The Dragon Palace Messenger's swimsuit? A bamboo dragonfly? Or perhaps red underwear worn on the outside!"

"It's your lost brain—cough cough cough, it's the [sewing kit]." Tono Hannah coughed twice, reminding herself to always pay attention to the elegant manners of a young lady, especially in front of the unreliable knight.

"Because it contained not only regular needles and thread, but also rare tools like tweezers, pliers, and single hooks, I was overjoyed when I found it in the living room cabinet! I even thought about storing it properly in a small bag I found in the recreation room, but by the time I went back to my cell to get the small bag, the sewing kit was already gone..."

Hannah Tono sounded disappointed; it was clear that for the young lady who loved to do needlework herself, missing out on the high-end sewing kit was truly disheartening.

"Hmm... I see! I see! This case will be handled by the Monster Detective Agency! This detective guarantees to give you a response within 100 business days, though it may not be valid!"

"Are you some government department's 'hands-off' teller?!"

"It was Kurobe who stole it."

While Hannah and Sherry were arguing, Chang Rong suddenly pointed at Kurobe Nanoha.

"Hmm—!? I didn't know... Sorry, here you go."

Nanoha Kurobe was startled, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally obediently and somewhat blushed as she took a 'sewing kit' from her tactical satchel and handed it to Hannah Tono.

"Huh?! Watson, how did you do that?! You're lying, you're lying! This doesn't count! You definitely cheated!"

Sherry Tachibana was shocked by Chang Rong's case-solving speed, which was comparable to stepping on a landmine and exploding instantly. She angrily waved her magnifying glass, sulking and complaining.

"Why would you compete with your own employees for company revenue...? Besides, that's basic logic, my friend." Chang Rong shrugged helplessly and gave Ju Shirley a smug and disdainful smile.

In reality, there was nothing to deduce. When Hannah Tono mentioned the sewing kit, only Nanoha Kurobe's expression froze for a moment, then she frowned in thought, and finally became embarrassed and shy.

Considering the magical tools in that sewing kit, it's easy to connect it to the mysterious lock-picking woman who has been frequently appearing in my bedroom lately.

It not only solved the case and served the public, enhancing the detective agency's reputation, but also eliminated the long-standing thorn in their side, the mysterious lock-picking woman, through Tono Hannah's help. It was a textbook example of killing three birds with one stone.

Hehe, hehehe, guhe guhe—I, Chang Rong, am going to stand atop the heavens of the detective world!

Chang Rong was once again amazed by her own talent.

"No, no need for that...! To be honest, this isn't mine, I just found it, so you're not wrong, Nanoha Kaori!"

"Oh, as expected of a young lady, such magnanimity and composure are the source of your elegance and confidence!"

"Well, not at all... Anyway, I was just saying. You should keep this sewing kit, Nanoha. You've kept it very well. Perhaps you're a more suitable owner than me, right?"

Tono Hannah returned the sewing kit to Kurobe Nanoha, and after saying this, she secretly glanced at Chang Rong.

—Hmph, now that idiot knight will surely be completely captivated by my charm!

Chang Rong, on the other hand...

—Goooooooo, Miss!?

He kept wailing and screaming in his heart.

As for the reason for Chang Rong's wailing, it's quite simple. After Kurobe Nanoha took back the 'sewing kit', the way she looked at Chang Rong could only be described as 'icy cold'.

—I'm definitely going to die tonight, I'm absolutely going to kick the bucket oo ...

To survive, you're even willing to acknowledge your guard as your sister? Hajirong, you bastard...

"Hey, does your detective agency really solve every kind of case?"

As Chang Rong used illusion magic to imagine his own death, the voice of Arisa Fujito suddenly came out.

"Hmph! Didn't we just solve a case? Our [Monster Detective Agency]'s capabilities are guaranteed!"

Tachibana Sherry, hands on her hips, looked incredibly proud of herself and responded with an air of arrogance.

Even a 'murder case'?

"—"

Arisa's words were like ice, instantly causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

"Listen up, I'm not interested in playing this crap detective game with you guys. You really want to solve cases? Then just wait and see. Someone's going to get killed sooner or later, right? We'll be relying on you guys then, you great detectives."

Arisa Fujito glared at the crowd, uttering a blatantly disdainful sneer through her mask, before turning and leaving.

"Hey, Wisteria."

"What else do you want, you idiot?"

Arisa Zifang, who hadn't left yet, was stopped by Chang Rong. She turned around impatiently, looking ready to rush up and fight at any moment.

"I have no right to say anything about your own dislike of interacting with other people, but if you want to do what that other keycap company did before, jumping out to pour cold water on everyone's insignificant expectations for the future in order to show that your taste is niche and unique, then I can only say—you are really nasty."

"—Huh!?"

Arisa was instantly enraged by Chang Rong's words, and flames crackled and popped at her fingertips.

"To be honest, I've disliked you for a while now. You're always saying things like 'I'll kill you within three days' or 'I'll kill you, you bastard,' but all you ever do is put pressure on others without actually doing anything. You're such a whine!"

"Huh—ah—!?"

"I want to know that Zhen Linzheng is a professional who died of a tumor. When he thought of 'I'll kill you,' he had already given the other party a taste of his own medicine!"

"Huh!!! Huh???"

"Instead of gossiping behind each other's backs every day and creating an awkward atmosphere where we have to run into each other all the time, how about we resolve this in a more manly way? Arisa Fujito, VS. The Detective Agency, do you know that?!"

"...Alright, alright then. Looks like you really want a fight, huh? Let's go!!"

Arisa's anger was completely ignited. She ripped off her hood, her knuckles cracking as she stepped towards Chang Rong.

"No, we can't fight! Arisa-chan, Changrong-kun, let's have a good chat—um!"

"If you don't understand the situation, then don't shout nonsense."

"Kiang!? I got scolded by Hiro-chan again..."

Sakura Emu Leng Er? Yi made Emma panic and try to dissuade the two, but was stopped by Shiro.

"Hiro, shouldn't you stop them at a time like this? That shouldn't be right for you, should it?"

Rhea Hasumi originally wanted to join in and sabotage the situation, but she became somewhat confused after seeing Hiro's unusual behavior.

Did you ever serve as class monitor when you were in school?

Hiro asked the crowd a question, and at the same time, the domain activated SPW, a time-limited control exclusive to commentators, slowing down the surrounding flow like that of Chronos.

"Ugh... what's a class monitor?"

"Haha! What is going to school?"

The moment the seemingly insignificant student in the class spoke to the child star who was constantly performing, Nikaido Hiro's transformation into a witch skyrocketed.

"...Simply put, if there is a troublemaker in the class who always doesn't get along, and if the class monitor is a dutiful one, then there will definitely be one thing they do, which is to know the 'boundaries' of that troublemaker."
