Akuyaku Reijou no Naka no Hito ~Danzai sareta Tenseisha no Tame Usotsuki Heroine ni Fukushuu Itashimasu~ - Ch. 26 - Ye Abandon All Hope

Remilia and this manga are so peak. I hope they can somehow bring back the original star maiden's soul. She doesn't deserve this.

 

[Boyism]

Pretty sure it's been like a year at most, Remis been speed running shit. Doesn't make the step bros plan of "letting Remi wallow in disgrace for years so I can swoop in to make her my kept woman," plan any better, but it never got off the ground since our girl was too boss.



Yeah I think is also why Angel's lie detector isnt going off since Remi's final lines are peak Mean Girl. "wow your life must've been so pathetic."

Says a lot about Remis acting/knowledge of lighting (oh look the musical experience is kinda relevant here!) she could say that and not come across as a massive biatch.


Honestly I think it's a bit much to outright say "no brainwashing." Being forced to like someone you'd otherwise not gives me the heebie jeebies. However I agree it's not really an excuse. Liking two people who hate each other doesn't mean you have to be an asshole to one of them.

Like even a generous reading of the original LI's actions is kinda damning. Let's say having their "Pina Affection" set abnormally high to the point they "have" to believe her (typically humans trust people we like) when she says Remi is a crazy murderer. After the cognitive dissonance of "I like these two, but one of them says the other is a monster," is resolved forcibly into believing the claims, the logical reaction would be idk calling the guards to apprehend and lock away the murdereress. Not have a giant public rigamorale that ends with Remi humiliated but free to idk murder some servants in exile instead.

Tldr when you think about it the starting denoucement event was pretty much geared for maximal humiliation and no practical purpose. Like she walks away free and able to idk start murdering again if you take the accusations at face value. Therefore the original LI's actions show they aren't taking the "attempted murder" that seriously and came into the denouncmemt with the specific goal of "hurt Remi." Which is completely on them.

I think it was Claude that came up with the denouncement to have Willard break off the engagement with his sister

Man, seeing Star Maiden act like that is like reading extremists and radicals on Twitter.

Also, the FMC is right—making her suffer is better than giving her a merciful death. I think the next step is to turn the Star Maiden back to her original identity or personality.

Take notes. This is GOOD revenge porn, more than just the bland sexual violence/torture gore types (see Redo of Healer or Fukushuu o Koinegau Saikyou Yuusha wa, Yami no Chikara de Senmetsu Musou Suru).

This one has buildup and satisfying revenge. And it's not even done.

Yeah, but that everyone else was willing to go along with it and morally that is on them. Sure they've been drugged into liking Pina and it's harder to say no when you like someone. But "someone I really like told me to be awful to someone so I had to," isnt great.

 

[AngelusDaeva]

Do we even know what happened to the original soul of Pina? Is she also stuck inside somewhere? If so, damn, I feel sorry for her

If I had to guess, I would say the OG Pina is trapped in her body, just like Remi was when Emi "took" over.

 

[moderateTrouble]

EXCEPTIONAL! BRAVO! Im giving a standing ovation. The "catholic loophole" was truly the freaking cherry on top, i was cracking up. How rare is it to have a manga, nay, a story live up to the satisfying climax it was building to! From here on out is pure victory lap territory, and I knew it will be a satisfying conclusion as well (based on what i read from the web novel haha!). YIPPEE! Thanks for translating!

 

[Sagevirgin]

Spoiler

The purification powers are tied to the OG soul, and that peaced out a long time ago by completely disassociating itself from the body

honestly, good for her... It's better to go sooner then see that shit happen to "yourself" in my book.

It's explained a little bit in Chapter 24 page 36, but basically: If a person really believes what they're saying isn't a lie, his lie detector will not go off.

So, since Remilia's a sociopath, she truly believes she hasn't 'heard' of anything. She read it in Emi's memories. But that's it. It's a thin line, but because she herself believes she's telling the truth, Angel believes her.

its the same reason polygraphs were discarded as evidence.
polygraphs don't work on sociopaths and psychopaths as they believe their own lies. if you believe your own lies to be truth then your body will follow the act.
polygraphs worked by monitoring the vitals of the body for inconsistencies when answering questions. if you knowingly lie then there will be a momentary change in your vitals. this used to be taken as a definitive proof of a persons guilt or innocence until it was found to not be as infallible as originally thought.

So, the power of saintess cannot restore chastity back eventhough it can purify miasma and literally restore the world condition?

more often than not in lore the great purifying power of saints comes from their purity and chastity so it makes sense when that chastity is lost it cannot be regained using the power that was fueled by it.

It would be funny if we have slutty saintess who loves bed dealing with the power of restoring her own chastity 🤣

 

[tiulubu99]

Dam I wish I can witness this chapter in anime, especially that part where the star hoe shakes uncontrollably from anger.

 

[oui_je_danse]

Truly a glorious update. Catharsis 26 chapters in the making!

But... how has nobody in 16 pages of comments brought up Pina's unhinged beach themed seduction complete with tropical drinks?! It's so wild for the fantasy Europe themed setting it circles back to being amazing. That one countess or whatever is right - Pina would have slayed at a brothel.

please dont pull a don hector, end it quick

 

[amuwu]

This chapter reeks of misogyny, the whole revenge thing is over the top now. Also revenge porn really? Remilia is so unlikeable now

 

[kurosov]

I'd love to see a bunch of spin off's where Remilia is reincarnated as characters in other stories that ended up being disappointing so we can see her ruining people in those worlds.

 

[Touyue]

Insane payoff! What a great chapter again. Man, I love this manga.

Remillia was going to show the evidence privately and officially to The Powers That Be and had edited out the most sexually explicit content. While she gleefully predicted that others would counter that effort, she is not who did the thing you find distasteful. That's Angel with knight lady's support.

Also, if they follow the course of the novel she's about to actually do way~ worse stuff than this. So you might wanna bounce now.

 

[tomodachi_isalive]

update from the mangaka: basically, no new chapter this month. she said the chapter is quite long so it'd take some time. also only 2 chapters left (next one and the next next one)

absolute cinema, from the downfall to the fact that we are still not done with absolutely obliterating her dignity
