The Fed-Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess - Ch. 27

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Spoiler

The RAW literally drop "Lapis IS Aurora" how are you even questioning if you've seen the RAW?

I'm trying to not spoil things too much

 

[Roodypatooti]

Diana is such a good girl

 

[crimsondenmite]

Diana is front great positive character development, but I feel she just got friend zoned and she friend zoned Allie, as well..
So I guess Natori is deeply in love with “Lapis” and is more easily swayed by Lapis than by Diana.
I hope I’m wrong but I feel sad for Diana.. atleast Diana got to hold both of Natori’s hands!

 

[Angoldd]

A shame we can't have that DianaxLapisxNatori ending.

Diana and Alex are cute together, but the thruple would have been nice.

 

[lowarctic]

It fits so dang much

“You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Yuri-land and I show you how deep the rabbithole goes. Remember — all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.”

 

[KitsuKyouno]

All hearthwarming until remember that Natori is the older one and she is dominates by younger one

 

[Redrot]

Lapis deserves some beating up after telling Natori off. We do need a height gap yuri kiss afterwards, though, so make sure she can still do that.

 

[phoenixir]

Lapis is doing the "Attachment is the root of suffering" thing, huh.
Meanwhile Diana: Pulling Narori up so she can move forward!

I think it's more of a "you'll either get killed or be asked to kill, and I don't want either of those options for you, so scram because you're pure, I'm toxic, and I love you."

 

[Spectrum]

Diana is such a good girl

She's almost too good for this series >.>

 

[TheRealDrMcCoy]

I just want them all to be happy and gay with each other

 

[Mlfg_AK]

Still find it quite funny that people kinda know Lapis is planning something bad but they're all like "welp, there's nothing we can do ig" and just give up(?) and that Natori influence on Lapis has been that strong that she, practically a stranger, is the only option left to save her

anyway, I read the raws and i'm completely devastated, i need them to be happy asap😭😭😭😭

All hearthwarming until remember that Natori is the older one and she is dominates by younger one

For me, that's one of the highlights of this story😭

 

[WolfenLady]

I'm usually not a fan of poly but I wouldn't mind it here. Diana deserves some love-me-tender

That is one of the strongest hooks of the series, IMO. The way that Lapis treads masterfully the edge between one-dimensional villain and fully realized character without falling into usual cliches for the genre. Normally I would've expected Lapis to be selfish and cling to Natori just because she is the villain but she shows an unusual degree of self-awarenes and genuine afection for her, deciding to put her well-being first even if is against her own wishes.

Ironically, Diana came off as way more selfish throughout the entire sports tournament arc.

I wonder if Diana seems more selfish because she has the endgoal of "Natori", whereas Lapis is juggling her whole plan, while simultaneously wanting to protect Natori from the fallout and pain that would befall her by getting wrapped up in it (from Lapis' perspective anyway).

Because Diana's motivation is much simpler and she has cause to be much more direct, she appears more aggressive and thus selfish in her pursuit of her goal by virtue of not having a large directly-conflicting motivation running counter to her desire for our protagonist.

I think it's because in the last arc she was doing a lot of speaking for Natori and "claiming" Natori without much input from her or Lapis really. She's also aware that Natori doesn't view her in the way she desires, so at times her constant pushing can teeter into disregarding what Natori wants, not accepting things as they are. Nothing that bad though because Diana always means well and unrequited feelings can be difficult, especially when Lapis and Natori have a lot of obstacles to overcome in the meantime. She never fully oversteps and always falls back into being a good friend or at least trying to be.

 

[Sunspawn]

I fucking hate the "woe be me, I am so evil, you don't know me" thing Lapis has going on.

I imagine that was also characterized in her continuously referring to Natori as "Natalie" until very recently - at least insofar as "speaking for Natori and not always regarding what Natori wants", type thing.
I'd have to actually go back and read, but if there was a definite shift in Diana's naming usage, I would imagine it coincides with the shift in her consideration and acceptance of Natori's feelings toward both herself as well as Lapis, and becoming "less selfish", as it were.

 

[Homura]

changed the title for the tenth time eh? cool
the main title and the sub title are the same now, whats even the point?

She still can't get Natori's name right and keeps calling her Natalie.
