The Main Heroines Are Trying to Kill Me - Ch. 19

[JustSomeGuyOnHisPhone]

I wonder what the dad's gonna be like with Frey's evil front behavior

 

[AnimuVsMango]

"Defeat Irina and win"

"It was decided that you won"

this quest is difficult but not impossible

I can still think of a way to win later

"I'll have you do what you couldn't in the forest"

literally wtf does that even mean

also how would he know what happened in the forest if he supposedly ran away before Irina regained consciousness

What in the actual fuck is the writer smoking

 

[CrimsonSix]

Damn, this is a lot of updates at once.

 

[Xalphire]

Wait so first he planned to lose and now he won but then the quest didn't say that he won so he went damn next time I'll try to win like? I'm so confused

Is he going to give away the life force replacer? That's pretty stupid. Why doesn't he use it on himself so he can keep regenerating his life force and then he could just give it to her manually like he has been doing?

He is not giving away a life force replacer, he is giving a potential awakening potion that he has no personal use for because his abilities are already awakened.

I won't defend the glaring plotholes of the story, but the one about the forest isn't one of them
He specifically said as Riana that he "found Irina while MC was abducting her, but MC fled because he got scared of Riana, who he believed was a ghost at the time"
So MC knowing about what happened in the forest is not that strange

Don’t know, but I have some ideas:

“Defeat Irina and win”

He did apparently win, so I’m assuming the defeating part is being called into question. If memory recalls, she fainted while trying to supercharge a fireball because she didn’t know the limits of her strength. What I assume what happened was that they took the Minecraft approach to defeats of this nature and accredited to defeat to the MC since he was the cause of her defeat (think “Jediweirdo died while trying to escape AnimuVsMango”)

“It was decided that you [the MC] won”

That’s probably because if everything continued the way it was going, he would have been declared the winner due to TKO. Remember— only the MC and 1 of the 5 heroines know of his true intention to throw the battle, and he (apparently) put up a good act. I don’t know why they didn’t just have them rematch instead of immediately making the call, but whatever.

“This quest is difficult, but not impossible”

And

“I can still think of a way to win later”

Probably is him thinking of the main quest after this one. Way back in an earlier chapter, the MC reveals that whether or not he completed the “Win the 1v1” quest determined his role in the next. Whoever loses to Irina plays the role of revenge, where they invade her dorm in the effort of getting revenge. If the MC lost, then he would be the one who invades her dorm, allowing him to have more flexibility in how he approached the quest. But since he won, some other noble outside his control will be the ones trying to kill Irina and he has to dispose of them before they actually kill her while also seeming like the bad guy. As such, the reward for the 1v1 quest was a honeypot that would make the following quest harder if he takes the bait… which he inevitably ended up doing.

"I'll have you do what you couldn't in the forest"

🤷— your guess is as good as mine

also how would he know what happened in the forest if he supposedly ran away before Irina regained consciousness

This one’s been explained by @guromi95’s comment directly above mine

---

Hope this clears some stuff up. I’m not a novel reader, so some things could be wrong. I’m going to watch what the MC does in the next quest pretty carefully, since for some reason the MC hinted that whatever he’s plotting requires for every heroine to hate him (which he already failed at) and a magic mind-control stone to work. Whatever happens next will decide whether or not I keep watching this, as I’m still on the fence as-is.

hmm I think the "I'll have you do what you couldn't in the forest" ain't a sentence that is supposed to make sense. Like I think he just says it for villain reasons, he doesn't know what she "couldn't do in the forest" nor does she know, he just implies that he had planned to have her do something there and now wants her to do it. That way he can imply to have her do something vile, without outrhight stating what he wants her to do so there couldn't be any accidental things like her just following his command without him being able to say "wait now I don't feel like seeing that anymore". Or smth like that idk

A lot of this has to do with the adaptation.

Now that I look at the situation, Frey actually solved the whole thing by accident. Due to the personal bet, that had nothing to do with the quest, Irina is now his slave. The slave of a duke's son. Who would dare to touch her? The dorm attacker would be attacking the property of a duke's son. In fact just knowing she fell so hard and so low, to become her arch-enemy's slave, might already satisfy the bitter nobles. Frey has a scumbag's infamy, so the bitter nobles are probably imagining Irina is getting raped and abused. That ought to be revenge enough, for the time being.
