Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shite shimatta... Zettai Zetsumei! Hametsu Sunzen Hen - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Lady Romance No…

[NamelessSoldier]

When you remember that Sophia had to suffer for OVER A DECADE in this timeline, this chapter becomes so intensely sad, especially when remembering that

Spoiler

Sophia is A-chan's reincarnation...

 

[Antares_Angel]

Usually, I'm rooting for Maria or just full on harem, but I think I might end up favoring Sophia this round. Poor girl has probably been miserable for a whole decade by now, and despite the time change Katarina not only has a novel buddy, but also finds her genuinely attractive. Also, it'd be interesting to see how her relationship develops given that Katarina only had her memories appear briefly and much later on, much like Sophia only getting vague vibes for a long period of time.

All I'm saying is, I'm happy Sophia's content with friendship in the main story generally, but I'd love to see if she changes and goes for gold here.

 

[JWChibi]

The fact that Sophia is also her best friend sets this up like a romance. Both of them reading shoujo ai in their next lives and then becoming friends using one of the lines from that same novel, this is my new favorite ship 😭that was so sweet

 

[aztimpala]

the art style is so cute hahaha, thank you for the chapter!

 

[smashman42]

@Nunally I wonder if the fact that she hasn't read the book with the count in it yet might have an impact on her reaction - like in the original timeline she's hyped up his "devilish count" powers in her head way more after thinking of him as that book character and watching people swooning over him left and right for years. Whereas here, she just met the dude (ditz probs didn't remember him from the parties), only had vague info from Acchan on him, so has a more natural reaction rather than her stupid headcanon warping stuff.

 

[Cynic]

@NamelessSoldier @Antares_Angel To be fair, Sophia always has the support of her family. In every timeline Maria has been suffering by herself since young childhood because her father was insecure and left his family. She still has it worse.

 

[mammaria]

so certain things remain constant for our bakarina!!! omg but if you think about it, sophia in the original game timeline never did find someone... that's so sad???? IT'S BAD ENOUGH THIS SOPHIA HAD TO WAIT FOR SO LONG TO HAVE A FRIEND SLKJDSLJK BAKARINAAAAA I'M GLAD YOU SAVED HER SO EARLY IN THE OTHER SERIES 😭😭😭 also

Spoiler

sophia should still be acchan right??? so they're destined!! to be!!! friends at the very least lol aw :'))) lowkey ship it tho, but i do ship it way more in THIS version than in the other one lol

i guess this nicol is going to fall for our bakarina too, though i expect(ed?) him to be more like "um wtf" bc like... he's the prince's friend?? isn't he familiar with villainess!katarina??? maybe we'll get more from his perspective next time

thank you for the update!!

 

[jnguy2]

yes love her . I 'm glad they're reunited

 

[Mangareader]

@mammaria

The flag is already set, like her spoilery friend said you need to befriend the sister on his route.

 

[fictionfangirl]

Nicol looking extra fine in here

 

[Serverclosed]

How can this spin-off be so much better than the original?

 

[mammaria]

@Mangareader true lmao but i would still like to see his thought process negl. you're right though, that smile signaled the flag is up

 

[lathfi121]

bakarina getting harems any world she's in, lmao

 

[maboroshi-no]

@MeiraEve
Ah indeed! What I meant is "fine hair"!
I thought they both meant the same, but I guess I still have some progress to make in English...

I will fix it later, thanks for the feedback!

 

[MeiraEve]

@maboroshi-no
Wait, it was a kinda mistranslation?? I thought it was just Katarina being Bakarina.. lol XD

It wasn't exactly my intention, but you're welcome~ I'm happy that i helped a little.. 🤣

 

[maboroshi-no]

@MeiraEve
Yeah... It was a mistake...
Anyway it has been fixed!

 

[katakatakara]

SO PRECIOUSSSS. This setting with Katarina being older is so much more gratifying!! Thank you for translating!!!

 

[TheGodEmperor]

A pity we are still getting the same beats in the alter that we got in the main story, but, whatevs, still love cute Sophia

 

[chonkury]

@mammaria I'm guessing he's been so focused on keeping an eye on his sister that he hasn't had time to observe other people, including how Katarina used to be. So this is probably the first time he's properly interacted with her, and she's made quite a favorable impression.

@Serverclosed Katarina has to work harder this time around, so each win feels more earned. The storytelling is also more nuanced; the original series always felt like a gag manga, which I loved but it also did feel a bit one-dimensional more often than not.

 

[mammaria]

@chonkury oh right, that makes sense actually!!! 😳 i'd accept this... poor sophia;; i do hope we get to see more from his pov
