Natsume Anan — [###]

Meruru on Ice - [###]

Baosheng Mag – [###]

Chang Rong — [###]

The numbers associated with Natsume Anan and Sawatari Coco made Chang Rong feel a sharp pain in her heart once again.

This cold, emotionless declaration forced Chang Rong to confront the chilling truth once again—the young news anchor who only liked to breathe on things but was essentially an old woman, and the taciturn, hypnotic novelist who was also a gentle and soft-hearted eunuch, were truly gone.

...I can't stay sad any longer. Everyone else's witch transformation progress has increased a lot during this time because of me, and the young lady has even reached a dangerous level.

We need to find a way to relieve everyone's stress, and we also need to find out what exactly happened in this prison and what the purpose of imprisoning the 'prospective witch' is.

With so much to do, if I continue down this path, I'm afraid I'll be overwhelmed by Coco-chan's three huskies and one hamster.

Chang Rong slapped his cheeks hard, then opened the video that Ze Du Ke Ke had sent him during his execution.

[Hey, you weird rabbit, if you see this video, it means I've been voted out, right?]

Although my plan is so perfect that theoretically you idiots shouldn't be able to see through it, considering Emma's terrifying courtroom performance in the first playthrough, I'll just record a video anyway.

[Tsk... What is this?! Recording your own will for someone else is so idiotic! And isn't this just setting a flag?! Forget it, you might as well just die, you little punk~ little punk~~~! (gives middle finger)]

—How can someone breathe on their breath while recording their last words?!

Chang Rong, who was being mocked through the screen, was so angry that he wanted to rush in and feed Hakimi on the other side of the screen his favorite Undying Grip.

[But since it's already been recorded, I might as well mention it. Consider it a prediction for when the anchor will graduate.]

—Coco-chan seems quite self-aware that she's a low-level streamer who could graduate at any time.

[First of all... I thought about your 'forbidden' theory, you sadistic rabbit, and it actually seems quite interesting. So, I'll reluctantly tell you what I know from my 'first playthrough'.]

On the phone screen, Sawatari Coco began to recount what she had seen and heard during her 'first playthrough'.

[Hasumi Ryoua killed the balloon artist Shirosaki Noa because she was 'not getting attention'.]

—The information overlapped, Coco-chan! Even the brats at the dojo know about Rhea-sama's taboo!

Even Coco-chan, who looks like a nobody when transmitting the final ripple, is really a nobody.

[Natsume Anan, because she didn't want to leave and didn't want her friends to be taken away, brutally murdered Saeki Miria, who thought she had transformed into Sakura Emma.]

—Was An An such an extreme person in the first playthrough? Just because she didn't want to escape from here, she tried to kill Emma, ​​who was planning the prison break...? And she actually used a brutal method that was almost torture, like 'stabbing a thousand transparent holes'?

The Natsume An'an described by Sawatari is almost the same person as the Natsume An'an that Chang Rong actually saw.

Could it be that the first playthrough of An'an is 'Natsume An'an.Alter' or 'An'an.berserker'?

In theory, I did something similar to what Emma did in the first playthrough, both of which involved 'stealing' An An's friend. However, I didn't plan a prison break, but An An's behavior was completely different.

Is being dragged out the door a taboo for An'an? No, no, no, that sounds too pathetic... But An'an does seem to be quite pathetic herself... Making someone act like a dog as soon as they meet and failing at it, only the most childlike of children could do such a thing.

[Hannah Tohno, due to her deepening transformation into a witch, commissioned Sherry Tachibana to kill her. After killing Hannah Tohno, Sherry Tachibana, even after being executed, did not become a witch; her Stand ability was tightly controlled.]

—This isn't about hiding abilities at all! As expected of the president... she's surprisingly a super heavy woman (not in terms of weight).

In this playthrough, because the club president has been watching me and tormenting me, I don't seem to have gotten too close to the young lady. So, the person I need to be most careful about is actually myself.

It seems I can never joke about things like "I'm so bored, I want to die" in front of Sherry again. I'm afraid if the club president heard that, she'd really punch me with the "Hehe, I'm already in heaven" power...

However, to put it another way—the club president would never betray her, and she would never become a witch.

It has strength, numerical value, and a faulty mechanical-like rationality value, but if you are not careful, it will suddenly die. Who are you?

Oh, so it was blasphemous chicken hotpot.

[Arisa Fujito didn't harm anyone until her death, but her kindness was trampled on by that scoundrel Meruru. Meruru, that stinking mark, used the 'Witch Slayer Potion' to kill Arisa Fujito. And then, she sneakily killed Nanoha Kurobe, who had been hunting for a year and finally managed to gather some information, in the underground cryogenic chamber.]

[Ermei, the doctor, is absolutely not a normal person...! She claims to be the true 'chosen witch,' and says she's been searching for the 'Great Witch'... I don't understand a word she's saying! But someone who can cry while disintegrating people into Gundam parts and then reassembling them is definitely not human at all!!]

—Stop just criticizing the Ice and Ice Catalog, give us some useful information!

On the screen, Ze Du Ke Ke had started bombarding 'Black Curtain Ice Slippery Plum' with criticism. This made Chang Rong feel a little less guilty.

...After all, even if he didn't pull any stunts, Hakimi would eventually have to permanently ban his own live stream.

[Emma, ​​Margot, they were with me until the end in the last playthrough, but... Margot just happened to avoid having her taboo [being loved] touched... It's all Margot's fault, making me distrust even Emma this time. Who knows if she just happened to avoid the same thing? By the way, Emma hasn't even said what her magic is. Maybe she's the real mastermind behind everything! It must be!]

—After exhaling, does it trigger a stress-induced street dance and random correction mode?

[And then there's me... Well, anyway, there's no point in talking about my taboos, right? I'm afraid of 'hiding,' that's all. I won't tell you the specific reasons, you nobody~~]

—To 'hide'?

That's why Coco ultimately chose to take the 'Witch Slayer' potion... because she didn't want to touch upon the hidden taboo and become a witch...

Chang Rong felt another sharp pain.

Oh, by the way, Nikaido Hiro breathed on the guard on the first day and was instantly smitten.

—Huh, so Hero is actually the real king of the minions!?

Chang Rong pondered Nikaido Hiro's erratic behavior in the punishment room and immediately pictured the entire process: her breathing on the guard, bristling, shouting "Old Wu, Old Wu!", lunging at him, and being handed over to Zeiss in an instant.

[Speaking of which, besides you, you sadistic rabbit, being punched out by Sherry Tachibana in the first and second playthroughs, the biggest change is Nikaido Hiro. But even though I haven't made any moves yet, she's already held back her yawns at the guards. What could be the 'variable' here?]

I'm also a bit puzzled by my own 'clairvoyance' magic. Although I saw the world of the 'first playthrough,' why didn't I see the timeline scenes of the 'second, third, and fourth playthroughs'? If they are arranged in chronological order, then what is the standard for this 'order' itself?

【Ah, it seems the young lady is coming back. I need to prepare to give her sleeping pills. Hehe, my plan is so perfect, I definitely won't need this recording~】

This concludes the video featuring Ze Du Ke Ke.

In the end, Emma still managed to get me through the speedrun... Coco-chan, why did you feel like a nobody until the very end?

Chang Rong sighed helplessly, then pondered the last words left by Ze Du Ke Ke.

From an intelligence gathering perspective, Coco's last words did not provide much of a meaningful information.

Noah was exposed very early on in the first playthrough, so no one knew her taboo. Arisa and Hannah both chose 'suicide,' so no one knew their taboo either.

I just found out about Rhea-sama's taboos myself, and Coco-chan handed them to me. Can't we at least not put our information here together?

Milia and Nanoha Kasumi, both victims, died prematurely, while Emma truly 'hid until the very end,' keeping Coco completely unaware of anything.

In the end, apart from 'Nikaido Hiro had a history with Ikedo Hiro' and 'the president is truly willing to die for you and help you die,' there wasn't much additional information.

...After all that, I still had to piece it together myself (referring to piecing together the clues).

I did learn that the "Great Witch" seems to be connected to all the secrets of Prison Island, and that ABCDD launched the "Witch Trial" to find the Great Witch hiding among the prospective witches.

In short, let's try to find more information about the 'Great Witch' next. I heard the elevator to the underground freezer has been repaired... We can't let An'an and Coco's sacrifice be in vain.

After organizing her thoughts and knowing what she needed to do next, Chang Rong felt her mind become much clearer.

"Rongrong—Rongrong!"

Noah's voice came from the door of the infirmary. The little girl in the colorful cotton-padded jacket stood by the door, panting. When she saw Chang Rong wake up, she practically pounced on her.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Noah—Guwa!!"

One second Chang Rong was smiling kindly, the next she had an expression like she'd just eaten a watermelon shaved ice.

This little cotton-padded jacket looks soft and light, but it actually has quite a bit of weight to it if you bump into it.

"Rongrong is an idiot...! Why, why won't she live a good life...! An'an... An'an certainly wouldn't want to see Rongrong like this either!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I really worried you, Noah—uh, wait, Noah! I want to live, hee hee, I want to live—I can't breathe—"

"Chang Rong is almost strangled to death by you, Noah."

Hasumi Ryouya also rushed over and picked up the little balloon to the side, finally allowing Chang Rong, who was almost sent to the spring to count down again by her own little darling, to catch her breath.

"Pinky promise with Noah...!"

Noah Kinosaki, undeterred, moved closer to Chang Rong and extended his little finger to the white-haired boy on the hospital bed.

"Pinky promise?"

“Hmm…! Rongrong has to promise Noah that no matter what, she can’t give up again…! Otherwise, Noah, Noah will…”

"Okay, okay, I promise you. I promise my lovely Noah that no matter what happens in the future, I will never give up on you again, okay?"

Seeing that the balloon in front of her was about to burst again, Chang Rong quickly reached out and gently stroked Noah. After Noah calmed down, she reached out and made a pinky promise with the girl in front of her.

"Ahem, well, then I'll also—"

"Shake hands, shake hands."

"...Why!"

Seeing Noah enjoying being petted, Ryota Hayami swallowed hard. She followed suit and moved closer to Chang Rong, even lowering her head slightly.

However, the ending was that Chang Rong mercilessly grabbed his right hand and made him perform the social obligations between ninjas.

"You said you'd be my knight, but then you went to the punishment room and refused to eat or drink. What's going on here, Desuwa..."

Tono Hannah also came to the infirmary. She saw Chang Rong on the hospital bed, sighed, and complained angrily.

"I'm sorry, young lady... just consider it that your knight temporarily lost his way in life, but I've found my purpose again now!"

"Just don't rush into weird places anymore, thank goodness, you directionally challenged knight..." Hannah covered her mouth with her fan and whispered, turning her head away.

“What happened between Natsume and Sawatari wasn’t your fault. You don’t need to punish yourself like this. If you insist on punishing yourself, then just punish me—”

"Don't go crazy in front of the patient, Zifang!"

After Hannah Tono comes the heavyweight Arisa Fujito.

"Haha... When did Xiao Rong and Xiao Sha become so close? That's wonderful. Oh, by the way, I found some peaches of decent quality. Let's replenish our energy, Xiao Rong, open your mouth—"

Zuo (Bermi Erlia) carrying a plate of peaches smiled and walked to Chang Rong's bedside. She picked up a slice of peach and, in a coaxing tone, prepared to feed it to Chang Rong.

"Hey, no need for feeding yet, Saeki-dono—Goo-oo!"

Chang Rong instantly recalled the memory of being 'violently fed' by Nikaido Hiro in the punishment room, and immediately said awkwardly and shyly that she didn't need it.

However, no was no use. Chang Rong, who was still very weak, was still fed half a peach by Milia, just like an incompetent husband.

"Everyone……"

Although Yi Zailing and so many others were fed five meals in front of the temple, Liu's weak side made Chang Rong feel embarrassed, but at the same time, it also made Chang Rong feel warm inside.

Even if he still doesn't know what his 'mission' or 'meaning' is in this place, even if his wish to be the 'Garagi protagonist' is still far from being realized.

However, the fact that so many girls genuinely care about him already makes Chang Rong feel truly happy from the bottom of her heart.
