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

"Haha, this is Noah drawing, so cute! This is Noah sleeping at the table, this is... uh, Noah clinging to the door frame and refusing to take a bath—this is Noah kneeling and dropping his little pearl after being scolded by Hero...this is Noah turning vegetable sticks into butterflies for breakfast and ending up with them all over his face—"

"??"

Listening to Ryota Hasumi's description and seeing Noah's increasingly dark and cute face, Chang Rong wondered what these people had actually watched.

"Oh, and there's Arisa too! This is Arisa striking a cool Bonfire pose, this is Arisa watering the flowers on the balcony, this is Arisa with a flushed face, sticking out her tongue, leaning against the wall and looking at the camera... This, this is Arisa striking a weird, chuunibyou pose in front of the mirror, this is Arisa peeking at Noah while he's painting with a lewd grin—"

"???"

Another mysterious black-faced woman has appeared. As soon as she heard that Noah was there, she followed the scent and came over. Arisa Fujito also came to the side of Ryota Hasumi. As a result, she changed from 'hehe' to 'no hehe' and changed to the same magnetic black face as Noah Kinosaki.

"You son of a bitch—" "Waaah... I, I don't know what happened, but Xiao Sha, calm down a bit! Don't suddenly rush over with a red-hot candle, it's dangerous!"

Arisa Futo blushed instantly and bristled, preparing to roast the rabbit over a fire when Miria Saeki quickly pulled her back.

Wait a minute, are these guys going through my photo album?!

Even if her mind was still foggy, Chang Rong could understand the current situation.

"Wait a minute, Rhea-sama! I didn't mean for you to see this—" "Ssssssss!" "Aww, so sweet!"

Chang Rong unleashed a Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand, but before she could even touch her phone, she was once again one-on-one killed by Noah's First Aid Spray.

"Little Noah, that's not right!"

Saeki Miria quickly stopped the black-faced balloon.

"Hey, there's even a picture of Milia!"

"Huh? Me, an old man...!?"

But the next second, Saeki Miria was also drawn by Hasumi Ryoya's exclamation and immediately squeezed next to her.

"This is Milia, looking cool and thoughtful with one hand on her chin while searching for evidence; this is Milia holding the evidence with a cute, confused expression; this is Milia with a helpless, wry smile as An'an drags her to watch a horror movie; this is Milia carrying a tray to clear the table for An'an—"

"Haha... I guess I'm not really photogenic... Hmm, why are Noah and Sha suddenly staring at me like that...?"

Saeki Miria rubbed her hair sheepishly, while also looking puzzled by the blatant jealous gazes from the perverted stalker and the bratty kid Balloon beside her.

"There are still quite a few photos—Hiro next, Nanoha next, Sherry next, ah, I found you! Hehe, since you're the top fan, Chang Rong must have taken a lot of cool and handsome photos!"

With a confident shake of her head, Ryoua Hasumi declared, as if victory was already assured: We will win!

"Uh, Rhea-sama... um—there's a flying saucer!"

Chang Rong broke out in a cold sweat instantly and, in desperation, pointed out the window.

"Woof...!?"

Ryota Hasumi remained unmoved, but a soft, sweet voice came from the doorway, sounding as if she was about to pounce and snatch it away at any moment.

"It's alright, Chang Rong. To prevent this tragedy from happening again, I've become much more mature and will never let your few pretty photos inflate my ego."

Ryota Hasumi suddenly stopped mid-sentence, her eyes fixed on the phone screen, unable to speak.

"This is Hasumi tearing her costume and getting scolded by Hannah; this is Hasumi being picky about food and getting arrested by Hiro; this is Hasumi getting stuck in her sword while trying to squeeze through the fence; this is Hasumi holding a meat bone and looking half-asleep; this is Hasumi arm-wrestling with Tachibana and getting spun around with a top; this is—"

"Okay, okay, okay...!"

Hasumi Rei, Yaya, interrupted the substitute announcement of Shito Arisa by dropping the screen of the machine, and then turned to look at the culprit on the hospital bed.

"Um... Rhea-sama, listen to my excuses, not my explanations—it's these little daily details that show how much I care about you, right...?"

Chang Rong swallowed hard. He tried to move his buttocks back to create some distance, but immediately bumped into the wall behind him.

"Chang Rong, Yi... you're already a high-ranking official. It's time to wake you up from your idol fantasies and face the real cutthroat world behind the scenes of the entertainment industry—"

"No, no, no, I never had any illusions about Rhea-sama in the first place—Puwa!!"

"You...you really need to work on your fandom—Noah, Arisa, let's go!"

"Yes!" "Eura!"

The three pounced on Chang Rong again. The good news was, they didn't treat Chang Rong as a patient requiring special treatment. The bad news was, they didn't treat Chang Rong like a human being either (?).

"Oh dear... Uncle can't help now either..."

Saeki Miria sighed with a wry smile, while casually increasing the beauty filter on the photos of herself on Chang Rong's phone.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The result of the "frankness" battle was a crushing defeat. Chang Rong was forced by a group of people to stay in this infirmary, at least until "all the yellow waste in his brain was gone".

I didn't even think about it that way...! Rather, Tono-sama is simply not suitable as a partner when I'm at my peak.

To be fair, is Tono a kind of intermediate state between Saeki Millia and Kinosaki Noah? Although she sometimes shows maternal brilliance in various ways, such as washing and sewing clothes for herself and taking the initiative to clean, she can also be childish like Noah at other times.

If you were to make a list of all the prospective witches and use Milia and Anan as the two ends of the scale for pendulum summoning, you could summon almost everyone.

The only somewhat unique case is Nikaido Hero; Chang Rong feels that he can see all sorts of attributes in Hero simultaneously. Could this guy be Martin, rolling a coin every morning before waking up?

Today's identity is 'Noah's strict father', tomorrow's identity is 'the guard's prisoner', the day after tomorrow's identity is 'the mysterious woman who uses a sewing machine to commit perjury', and the day after that's 'the mysterious master of clearing maps of the top-secret prison with a fire poker'.

Therefore, unless she rolls the non-existent 'Phantom Yamato Nadeshiko Hiro,' if she absolutely had to choose someone else as Chang Rong's sleeping partner, she would definitely choose—

Warden.

It's so soft and fluffy to touch, and it can even act as an alarm clock in the morning. Maybe after a nap, it will take you to Azkaban for a romantic and magical journey.

It's a pity we're on different sides, so we're not friends. Sigh.

far away...

Chang Rong secretly glanced at Noah not far away, sighed, and got out of bed.

After draping her blanket over Noah, Chang Rong gently rubbed the girl's somewhat lonely expression, then obediently retreated back into bed to continue her self-managed imprisonment.

She had previously mocked Arisa Fujito for her strong self-management skills, noting that she always put on her ankle chains before leaving the house, but it turned out she wasn't much better herself.

No… thinking about it carefully, there is a difference. Even if Arisa doesn't wear shackles, no one will say anything, but if I sneak off and get caught, Arisa's shackles will probably be around my neck in the next second…

So, other people can't see this 'system'?

Chang Rong lay back on the bed, fiddling with her phone thoughtfully.

I originally thought that the YY@KI Love Order System was a literal app system, but now it seems that its existence is closer to the 'golden finger system' in transmigration novels.

However, it seems that my system is useless except for preventing spying, and in the end, the spying prevention function only adds trouble to myself.

While the root cause of the current situation is that I was out of my mind and talked nonsense, doesn't your dating system bear even the slightest responsibility?!

People didn't believe the claim of visualizing the witch transformation progress, but Chang Rong knew that the data was indeed real.

Furthermore, because she had been self-exiled in the punishment room for the past few days, everyone's stress had increased to some extent, especially Tono Hannah.

After all, it must be very difficult for the young lady to accept that her roommate, Coco, became the murderer.

Noah too...

Chang Rong glanced at the colorful little balloon lying on the table, breathing softly. She had also lost her roommate and playmate, but she tried to act the same as before in front of her, only unconsciously showing a lonely expression when she was asleep.

—Look, Hero! Our Noah was heartbroken after losing An'an, but he's pulled through! Our child has really grown up…

Noah and I will wait for the day you are released from prison, reformed, and come out to start anew...

"Hmm...no, no?"

Noya Fin woke up from her brief, light sleep, wiped her drool, and looked around, seemingly not yet remembering where she was.

"Have you not been getting enough rest lately, Noah?"

"No, no... Noah always goes to bed early and gets up early..."

When Chang Rong asked him a question, Noah looked away and answered quietly.

Although Noah Kinosaki, being a nagging daughter, often exposes her own false testimony, Noah herself almost never lies.

"Oh right, this... was given to Rongrong by Noah."

Noah seemed to remember something, and she pulled a piece of paper from her repaired sketchbook and handed it to Chang Rong.

"Is this the painting from before, made with lime powder? But the colors have changed to polychrome."

When Noah mentioned giving herself a "surprise" before, she said she was using "something else to paint." Although I didn't quite understand what she meant, judging from the painting in her hand, it seems that Noah's exploration has taken another step forward.

"Although it's still not very obedient, Noah is slowly getting it to do the coloring work for him for free! Hehe... It only takes some powder or a carving knife to outline the shape, and it will act like a fool and add details and colors for Noah. Painting is so easy for it!"

"Ah, is that so? Haha... No wonder he's Noah."

As always, Chang Rong couldn't understand what Noah was fighting, but judging from her tone, it seemed she had already figured out a way to make the 'enemy' do her bidding.

After Noah left with a somewhat solemn expression, mentioning the 'art exhibition tumor' that had abandoned her studio, she'd hardly been as carefree with her painting as before. Could there really be some connection between Noah's 'magic' and her painting abilities?

—Teacher, could our Noah be a seemingly gentle little angel who secretly plots against others...?

"I wanted An'an to see this too... Ah, it's time to hand over the shift. Noah has to go now. Rongrong, remember to rest well—no, don't you dare...!"

Noah glanced at his phone clock, seemingly having other things to do, so he ended this round of 'prison visit'. Before leaving, he pouted and reminded his cheap father not to cheat on his cheap mother, who was still working hard at the sewing machine to support the family.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

It seems we need to find another way to relieve Tohno-sama's stress (her progress in becoming a witch)...

Ultimately, the root of everything lies in the "witch," and the reason for the creation of witches is the "witch factor."

[The Witch's Factor] It seems that there is an unclear relationship between [The Great Witch] and [The Great Witch]. If we can find [The Great Witch], perhaps we can change the current situation.

But where can we find the Great Witch...?

"Miss Tono?"

"—Ugh!"

The blonde twin-tailed girl hiding by the door suddenly jerked.

"Wow, that's quite perceptive. No wonder you're a Zoan type; this unusual intuition is truly remarkable."

"'Also' a 'zoological' family?"

Chang Rong blinked, somewhat confused.

"NONONO, I'm a genuine knight, young lady!"

"Wow, you rabbit really have no self-awareness at all... Just like the gorilla woman in that respect."
