Either another divinity messing around, Milfina is cursed or has a DID
Thank you for your work!

I was going to say it is probably some hidden personality and not an external culprit. DID is the answer!

 

[hevensdragon]

I mean even if she runs out of rewinds, Milfina can just resurrect her right?

Thanks for the chapter!

For Milfina to resurrect her she has to return to normal. We don't know that she does, once taken over she may remain taken over.

Ok I am starting to not like the mystery of this series, we never actually saw her tell Mifina the lives limit. This tells me that details are being skipped over. And only really told to us afterwards.

I am suspecting that this is a unfair mystery where we will not be given the needed details till the end.

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

So... whats the secret recipe?

 

[Redice]

As for the plot. I am 99% sure it is none of the demons. Which is leaving 2 choices (since the entity is knowing that she can ressurect as well):
-either it is some evil twin of that goddess.
-or it is the goddess herself.

or option 3

I mean, they're not exactly hiding it.

At this rate this is going to be a very short manga...

Well, this is a yuri, we're lucky not to get axed before the 20th chapter, there's a high chance the author is going fast to avoid running out of time to finish their story

 

[Silberdrachi]

Mmm.... got to say this is the downside with repeat stories. its hard to really feel invested because you know its not going to matter until the last go.

 

[nicoelson]

lasted 4 pages after getting her heart ripped off

hey maybe at this rate she'll learn to live without one, rendering the whole loop subplot kinda moot...

 

[Hyacyon]

NOOOOO THE PASTRIES

 

[rotationplus]

The killer is Milfina. She is the demon lord, after all.

some ancestral spirit probably

 

[pachingching]

ina's baked goodies!! wah!

rise my takodachis

That’s just because manga chapters have a limit of pages/frames so Showing Cecelia repeating all of the details would use up too much space otherwise. She’d only be alive for two panels after having her FATALITIED instead of four.

As for the culprit, I think it resides inside Milfina already, and has been responsible for a lot of the actual evil and destruction of the demonic forces. Remember when Milfina said she put too much of her power into the flour and it turned back into wheat? That suggests that her powers either reverse damage or, more likely, return things to life! Having an entity, whether external or a split personality, that executes the opposite for “balance” purposes is a well worn trope. Like Sentry and The Void in Marvel comics.

Honestly at this point I would had said fuck it and moved on to the afterlife. 9 out of 10 some stupid ass humans were the reason the war started in the first place!

It's pretty heavily implied that the goddess influenced everything to cause the war to have been for her entertainment because she can just reset the timeline whenever she wants.

What's that pastry? It kinda looks like macaron but it's clearly not macarons, so what is it

Yall can fight on how good the manga is, but I'm so curious on what that pastry is

Man we are speedrunning the deaths. Honestly it's a breath of fresh air after many "time-loop" stories that linger for a long time in each iteration.

Man we are speedrunning the deaths. Honestly it's a breath of fresh air after many "time-loop" stories that linger for a long time in each iteration.

Timeloop story often linger on each iteration because most of the time, the only thing that carry over is information, the beginning of the timeloop is going to be redundant information most of the time, and the information from previous loop usually help the looper to stay alive longer in the next loop, which in turn allow them to gain more information.
But since there is absolutely nothing she can do to prevent her death, she's pretty much fucked whenever the entity take over, and she can't do anything about that either

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

I feel like Evil!Milfina's motivation is important. Her phrasing when she says that it's "Much more amusing" isn't that similar to the goddess' motivation too?

 

[maeribaeri]

You know, the power to loop back in time and the power to reconstitute things to an earlier state (putting a corpse back together, returning flour to wheat) feel awfully related

 

[Mah_Buddy_Keith]

"Why did you do it this way?"
"Because I'm EVIL!"

Got it.

While I agree with you, not all time-loop stories use their time travel mechanics to "arm" the protagonist with information.
I am aware I am being a pedantic fucker but two examples that come to mind are Steins:Gate, that uses time-travel as a framing device for the different routes in a VN. And (my favourite misery porn) My fiance is in love with my little sister (the manga and the WN) where the long time spent in each iteration only serves to push the protagonist further into despair. And the deaths are only the author sadistically pulling the knife out and raising it high in preparation for the next time (s)he'll stab you.
In neither examples can I argue that the protagonists use information from the previous loops to "solve" their predicament and survive their fate. Both examples more or less are solved via deus ex machina. But each one still takes it's time for each loop.

A great example of the kind of story you're describing, that pops in my mind because it's currently ongoing, is Akujo Kyosei Keikaku (here), and that has looooong stetches before each reset. Great characters and great scheeming / long time planning by the time-travelling protag.

Finally in this manga too the protagonist gains new information each loop and is trying to unravell her situation to survive longer. It's just happening at a much quicker pace because the only option Cecilia has to gain information is to interact with Milphina directly or her attendants... both of which will result in her death each time. And the time frame over which she reincarnates is very short, she's explicitly not given enough time after reincarnating to be able to make any kind of move. It's great!

Boy I am rambling. tldr: I don't have any friends to talk to about this stuff and used you as an excuse to organize my thoughts in writtting. Reply to this post at your risks and perils.
