Sakura Emma, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Introduction:

"Hiro, this really isn't what I wanted to do! Take your hand away? No, it moved by itself!"

……

My name is Emma Sakuraba. I was supposed to be just an ordinary person who dreamed of becoming a magical girl.

It wasn't until that day, after arguing with Hiro, that I lost control of my body.

It rolls and jumps around all the time, and throws punches at the air...

"Save and load, stealth assassination, defeat cutscenes, quickly raising affinity... By the way, can the enemy boss be romanced?"

There were also a lot of incomprehensible gibberish coming from the background!

That person manipulated me into becoming a magical girl, allowing me to solo Witch's Night and trample (literally trample) the Great Witch.

In order to achieve the so-called "full CG", they treated the Great Witch like a pet and used lewd magic to bully other magical girls... Waaah, I'm too ashamed to even mention it!

What's even more devastating is that they blushed and said I was the merciful goddess Madoka...

That's not the kind of magical girl I admire!!!

Volume 1: Chapter 1 The Judgment is Actually an Open World

Haiyue Province, Yangchuan City, University Town Apartment 0721.

Yang Wen frowned as he looked at the Stream pop-up on the screen.

Winter Sale! Magical Girl's Witch Trial: ¥65 (Lowest Price Ever)

As a hardcore gamer and game review YouTuber, Yang Wen, still reeling from finishing the evil route of "Granblue Fantasy III," impulsively bought "Granblue Fantasy Reconnect," "Moral Hunter 6," and the entire "Grass Cat" series. His entertainment budget for the month is already empty.

But... what lay before him was a cute little pink dog.

Therefore, I had no choice but to buy it.

Yang Wen's hands trembled as he moved the mouse, about to add the game to his shopping cart...

Hey~

A crisp sound drifted from his speaker.

Just as Yang Wen was wondering, he discovered that the box on the screen showing the lowest price ever for "The Judgment" had been covered by another pop-up window.

[Congratulations! You've completed 30 group-buying sessions this month and are now getting the game "The Judgement" at an incredibly low price ever!]

"..."

Yang Wen glanced at the rough chopsticks and transparent plastic spoon in the trash can...

I'm afraid I'll never have this kind of discount in my life.

But he was a little curious... Lower than the all-time low? How much lower?

Yang Wen clicked on the new pop-up window.

A short while later, the stream interface popped up, and I was taken to the web version.

[Judgment: 1 Yuan]

Yang Wen was stunned by the discount.

What else could he say? Place the order!

Congratulations! You have purchased "Magical Girl Witch Trial"!

"Hmm? Isn't this name a bit strange? Judgment? Referee?"

Just as Yang Wen was inwardly complaining, the webpage didn't even give him a chance to click download: in the blink of an eye, the download was complete.

Yang Wen drooped his eyelids as he looked at the "Magic Judgment" shortcut that appeared on the desktop.

The purchase is already made, and the installation is already done.

"Let's test the waters first..."

So, Yang Wen double-clicked the icon for "The Judgement of Gods".

As the screen went dark, Yang Wen was taken directly to the game's start screen.

What caught Yang Wen's eye was a wallpaper depicting a lifeless girl pierced by a blood-stained sword.

The girl was undoubtedly the Emma Sakura from Yang Wen's memory.

Below the wallpaper is a line of text:

[Start Game] [Load Game] [CG (Not Enabled)] [Settings] [Exit Game]

It looks like there's nothing wrong?

Furthermore, there is an "Exit" button, so it's impossible for it to be Sword Art Online.

Yang Wen first went to [Settings].

This is his habit when playing visual novels: after buying a new game, he first adjusts the speed of the automatic mode to a comfortable level, and then he can lie down and play it at his own pace.

But after entering the [Settings], he was overwhelmed by the series of icons in front of him.

Yang Wende sat up to look.

"DLSS, motion blur... Why do visual novels have textures and distant details? Holy crap, they even have ray tracing!"

After reviewing the settings, Yang Wen reached a preliminary conclusion:

"Judgment" is actually an open-world game.

"..."

After adjusting the basic settings, Yang Wen put on his headphones and returned to the homepage.

His mouse pointer hovered over the words "Start Game".

Now that things have come to this... let's test the waters first, see how it goes.

Yang Wen clicked "Start Game".

thump—

After the screen suddenly went dark, a distant chime rang out in the headphones.

At the same time, Yang Wen vaguely glimpsed a pink ring in the darkness of the screen...

……

Maple Syrup Private Girls' Academy, Class A.

"Hey! Did you hear? Magical Girl Cinnabar is on TV again!"

"I know, I know! I was there at the time, the [Wreckage] monster's attacks almost hit my face!"

"That's great... Magical girls! To be so popular... I want to be a magical girl too."

"Every girl wants that. And don't you just want to become a magical girl and show off in front of the person you like?"

"Hey!!!"

"..."

Emma Sakura was the only person standing alone in the corridor.

She glanced at her reflection in the classroom window.

She had short white hair that gradually turned pink at the ends, wore a white and blue sailor uniform, and had a petite figure.

Ignoring the noise of others, Emma walked alone up the steps to the rooftop, reflecting on her life.

Being single since birth and having accomplished nothing is enough to summarize her ordinariness.

The only thing she can be proud of to this day is that she once had the proudest best friend.

Yes, in the past.

The two have long since gone their separate ways. But ever since their relationship hit rock bottom, Emma Sakura has been trying her best to salvage it.

The same is true today.

Stepping onto the rooftop, I saw the iron gate slightly ajar and looked up at the sky.

After staring blankly at the blue sky for a while, Emma Sakura looked at the LINE chat history on her phone.

That was a message I sent that I hadn't received a reply to even after five minutes:

[Hiro-chan! Can we talk on the rooftop now? This is my lifelong request! I'll do anything if you agree!!!]

While waiting for a reply, a small flame of anxiety ignited in Emma's heart, and she aimlessly scrolled up the chat history.

Hundreds and thousands of chat boxes, from today back to several years ago, are all her one-woman show.

The break time passed by unnoticed. As usual, Hiro did not reply for a long time.

Emma sighed, her eyes dimming slightly.

Will it not work this time either?

But then she thought again... that might not be the case.

Hiro probably didn't see it; he's probably busy right now.

So all I have to do is postpone the invitation to after school, right?

A small sense of certainty welled up in the girl's heart, and she hurriedly opened her phone's keyboard, about to add another message to the hundreds that had yet to be replied to...

Then Emma discovered that her fingers wouldn't obey her commands.

The thumb that was about to type on the keyboard is now scrolling up past chat history.

"???"

While Emma was filled with questions, she heard a male voice that was absolutely impossible to hear in a girls' academy:

"Why is there no tutorial when I log in, and why does it start with a chat log?"

Newbie tutorial?

Emma was stunned, completely unable to understand what the voice was saying.

Meanwhile, Yang Wen scrolled through the chat history on the screen, muttering to himself how boring it was.

The two sides are basically not on equal footing. Isn't this how you try to build favorability?

"So good at licking... You really are a stupid dog."

Upon hearing this, Emma exclaimed inwardly:

Stupid dog?! I'm not...
