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

"Young Miss, weren't you persuaded to leave by Leia-sama and Zifang-kun?"

Chang Rong still remembers the way those people were pointing fingers at her in Hannah's ear. She felt that it went beyond the level of 'advice' and they were trying to completely blacklist her...?

“As a young lady, how can she not have her own opinions? I switched shifts with Milia, so I came here.”

Tono Hannah frowned, and slowly walked into the room while holding a fan, and sat on a bench a table away from Chang Rong.

"Well... cough cough, about what you said before... umm... let me make this clear, I didn't ask because I cared, I just felt that you're somewhat ill right now, and it wouldn't be good to completely ignore you—"

"It's alright, Miss, I don't care at all!"

"Pay attention to Desuwa!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 85. The False Heiress, the Real Knight

—What's wrong with this guy?! One minute he's saying he wants to sleep with me in front of a bunch of people, and the next he's acting like, 'Oh, you believed me? You really believed me? Hehe, she believed me!' Is this a prank? Is he playing a prank because he thinks my sewing skills are too rough?!

Tono Hannah used her fan to cover her cheeks, her cute little pigtails bobbing as she gritted her teeth and observed the completely oblivious white-haired boy in front of her.

"Well, anyway... I feel like you don't mean it the way Leia and the others do, right? After all, even if it really was a sudden impulse, whether you consider intimacy or just physical appearance, there are clearly more suitable people to choose from. It shouldn't be my turn..."

As she spoke, Tono Hannah completely hid her head behind the fan.

Although I don't usually pay special attention to this 'knight' who always gets lost... since we see each other all the time, I do observe him a little bit, but only occasionally.

This guy is obviously closer to Heero and the gorilla girl. Whether it's during meals or other activities, he's either by Heero's side or being dragged around by the gorilla girl.

Even when she has some free time, she'll most likely just go to see Noya Kinosaki's stupid old father.

Speaking of which, when we were searching before, this guy and Milia seemed to be a very harmonious pair... I guess that's just how guys are! As long as there are two boring and superfluous things in that area, they'll stare at them without blinking, and then become mesmerized and turn into loyal dogs who can only wag their tails and stick out their tongues. It's so vulgar, boring, and not elegant at all!

But when he carried me in the basement to escape the guards' pursuit, even though we were in such close contact, all he got in the end was, "You're so light"... What was he thinking? I'm so angry!

But why would this idiot knight suddenly say today that he wants to... wants to sleep with me?

As her thoughts drifted to this point, Hannah Tono's cheeks, hidden behind the fan, flushed again.

While Tono Hannah was lost in thought, Chang Rong was also having a private meeting in her mind.

A quick review reveals that the reason given, "to relieve the stress of Tono-sama who is under too much pressure from becoming a witch," not only sounds terrible, but also lacks any credibility that could be accepted by everyone because the YUKI system is hidden.

In that case, if I really want to alleviate Hannah Tohno's witch transformation... I need to think of a more reasonable way.

'I like to sleep with my dolls' — No, that will only make me look like a weirdo with mama's boy traits.

'I feel like Miss Tono is about to break down'—No, there are only geniuses here, no instruments to form a band, and the person who said this is the one who will eventually be tormented to the point of breaking down.

'I'm showing off and want the young lady to make me fly' -- No, if I really say that, I feel like the young lady will happily call the president over, and then I can indeed take off and break through the stratosphere on my own.

'Tono-sama is someone who could be my mother!' -- No, that's too embarrassing, Saeki-san will correct me.

'To thank the young lady for her hard work over the past few days' — Hmm, this sounds good?

Rather, why would I preconceivedly use "sleeping together" as a way to relieve stress? Using such a reason would shock anyone except Emma Sakura!

We were just fellow detainees, and suddenly he's inviting me to his bed? Are we really that close?

I must have had my brain slammed in a door to come up with this idea, or else I'd suspect the mountain was chewed up by a dog—yes, thinking about it, it really is Emma's fault! You naturally evil pink-haired, man-eating little dog…!

Chang Rong skillfully projected the nonsense he had uttered during his slow-start brain onto the head of a pink-haired puppy, then cleared his throat and smiled as he looked at Tono Hannah, preparing to implement Plan B.

"[False Evidence]: It seems my expression was not detailed enough, causing you to misunderstand, Miss. I did not say 'share a bed with you,' but rather—'serve you in bed.'"

"...Huh?"

Tono Hannah blinked, momentarily stunned by Chang Rong's explanation.

"Serve, serve in bed?"

"That's right. A qualified knight would naturally be responsible for taking care of the young lady's sleep. I'm sure your roommate Coco-chan's departure must be hard for you to accept. In such cases, I will take care of serving you in bed, so that you can have a peaceful sleep as if you've taken sleeping pills."

"I would never drink sleeping pills! You might accidentally turn a peaceful sleep into an eternal sleep!"

Tono Hannah loudly retorted, not wanting Chang Rong to categorize her as part of the "god-like" group like Sherry Noah Hiro, who would say things like, "Huh, what's this? Sleeping pills? Let me try some! Zzzzz... Feeling refreshed! Huh, what's this? Sleeping pills? Let me try some!"

"No, but serving you in bed... umm, that sounds... quite nice..."

Hannah Tono loves reading shoujo manga and has always dreamed of becoming the heroine of a shoujo manga someday.

As we all know, most shoujo manga don't actually feature overly realistic scenes like "the male protagonist sitting up naked from the bed, lighting a cigarette, patting the female protagonist's butt, and walking away."

However, there are indeed frequent scenes where the female lead is sleeping with her eyes closed in bed, while the male lead silently watches over her with a smile.

As for Tono Hannah, she naturally had no ability to resist the latter.

"Alright! Now please go to sleep, Miss! Congratulations, Miss, you can go to bed now!"

"Wow, they're so proactive!"

She was about to hesitate and waver a bit when Chang Rong seemed to sense her inclination to agree, and jumped up from the hospital bed in the infirmary, adopting a posture like that of a servant.

"Ugh... Even if you suddenly tell me to go to sleep or something, I can't fall asleep right away..."

"It's alright, young lady. Look what this is—Guwa!!"

"I already said I wouldn't drink sleeping pills, Desuwa!"

Hannah Tono used her levitation magic to deliver a powerful Rising Dragon Punch, sending Chang Rong and the mysterious blue liquid in his hand flying.

"But... um, just trying it out a little... just a tiny bit...?"

Although she had no expectations of this amazing white-haired boy, Tono Hannah's long-suppressed dream of creating shoujo manga was now right in front of her, and she had to consider whether this was her only chance in this lifetime.

"Ahem, first of all, let me make this clear—I'm just going to do a little experiment!"

"No problem, Miss. If you feel unwell, just tell me and I'll stop immediately."

"This...this doesn't sound quite right...?"

Tono Hannah muttered to herself, vaguely wondering if she had been dragged into this mess by this guy and was being forced to do some nonsensical things.

However, a mysterious whisper from the East compelled Hannah Tono to grit her teeth and continue.

Yes, that whispered sentence said—since we're already here.

"Hmm, anyway, I'll try lying down first..."

Tono Hannah lay awkwardly and stiffly on the hospital bed in the medical room, while Chang Rong, the 'male protagonist actor of shoujo manga' in her mind, stood motionless beside her bed.

"..."

Every time Tono Hannah glanced up at Chang Rong, Chang Rong would politely return her smile before continuing to look straight ahead.

Repeat several times.

This feeling... isn't this exactly what it is—

"Isn't this just a crowd gathering before someone's burial?"

Tono Hannah finally realized what she resembled: a corpse encased in a jar, lying inside for people to admire. Chang Rong, standing beside her, politely nodded to the visitors, waiting for the time to close the coffin and be laid to rest.

"Eh? Burial? No way! Just now it was supposed to be the script where 'a heavily wounded knight pretends nothing happened, protects the princess in her final moments, and the two of them die together'."

"It feels so heavy... but I can't feel it at all, Desuwa!"

This idiot knight should probably go and learn some acting skills from Hasumi Ryoa first...

"How about we try this? Miss, you can lean against the headboard, cross your legs, turn your left leg outward and raise your right leg, and place your hands naturally on your knees."

"Ugh... This position is so awkward, and then what?"

"May Buddha bless us with peace and safety in the future..."

"Don't suddenly make me a Buddha!?"

Hannah Tono knocks down her kneeling 'knight' with a pillow, declaring that your wish has been confiscated.

"Seriously... you should just lie there quietly and not move!"

"Is that so?"

That's right, that's it! If you keep messing around, I'm really going to fly you out like a kite!

"understood……"

Hannah Tono, unable to bear it any longer, took the initiative to ask Chang Rong to lie obediently on one side of the hospital bed. After repeatedly instructing this "directionally challenged knight," she sat on the bed herself and then carefully lay down on her side with her back to Chang Rong.

—We're lying on the same bed now... But it doesn't feel like there's anything special about it? Is it because we're so far apart?

Tono Hanna was a little nervous, but also a little excited.

She had seen the 'shared bed' scene countless times in shoujo manga, but she never expected to experience it in this way, in this kind of place.

Although she could sense the white-haired boy lying right behind her, there was at least a pillow's width of space between them, so the dokidoki she had imagined did not appear in Tono Hannah's mind.

"Don't move!"

After whispering some more instructions, Tono Hannah slowly crept towards Chang Rong.

Such a cute and girlish scene, if Tachibana Sherry saw it, she would definitely smile and say:

Wow, Hannah has become a district!

As for the young lady, Tono Hanna, she didn't consider her current form at all; she simply continued to slowly approach Chang Rong behind her.

"—!"

Finally, Chang Rong felt something warm against her back and let out a short, sharp sound of being hit.

At this moment, the two were in a textbook-perfect 'couple's sleeping position'. Chang Rong, who was several heads taller than Hanna, was lying on her side next to Tono Hanna, who was also lying on her side, with only a blanket between them.

By simply leaning back slightly, one can naturally find oneself in the white-haired boy's arms.

But—Hannah Tono stopped here.

A little thought reveals that I am not the heroine in (^二) 龄弍陾印氵0$_芭少女漫画... and this is not the world of 少女漫画.

Ultimately, she didn't even have any 'qualification' to be the protagonist of a shoujo manga.

If there's one girl in the world who's least deserving of fantasizing about being a glamorous and beautiful leading lady, it's definitely herself.

Because of unrealistic fantasies, he was unable to take good care of his younger sister.

Because of unrealistic fantasies, he abandoned his family.

She's not a rich heiress, nor is she the protagonist of a shoujo manga; she's just someone who likes to daydream...
