The One Within the Villainess - Ch. 24 - Inferno

[hasf11]

Never had i experience such nausea and hatred for ever seeing a villainess in a manga or in any media.

This is not a reason to trust. It's only a reason not to raise an objection to his face.
Fear and trust are not the same, even if you behave the same on the surface.

In-universe it has only been like 3 minutes or something since Angel said that, they aren't "fully trusting" what he said because there's simply not enough time to think about the matter critically.

Basically what Angel said simply functions as a "subject-to-change confirmation" to people's doubts over the Star Maiden, who's reputation has been going lower and lower as time goes on. Until there's a counter-argument made (which again, only a short time has passed so people don't really have enough time to think about the matter), Angel's statement makes the most sense.

Whou ! It's what we have been waiting for ! I feel such delight seeing the consequences rushing full speed at her !

 

[AlecHero]

This.. this is why I am watching!

I am so excited!

 

[Tsukikgm14]

is this revealed later on? and if so publicly or private realization

Yes, like Remi said Emi will want it to be private but Pina give her a reason to bring all the evidence to public. The fact that Pina isn't the real Pina and the recording Remi prepared will be revealed to public.

Thank you for the chapter.

Edgelord inside me:
We, a sentient being, have always look for justice. When someone unfairly harm us, we naturally want to do the same or for the same thing to happen to them. So, could we truly say these so-called "rehabilitation justice" to be "justice"? Of course not. EYE FOR AN EYE, TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. Let's start treating those injustice as debts, the longer it past due, the larger the debt that has to be paid!

I don't like you and even I'm cringing and just how gleefully you're digging your own grave. what the fuck. do you not see the faces of everyone around you? do you not see Angel's face when you ASKED HIM TO MARRY YOU??? AFTER YOU JUST GOT CAUGHT TRYING TO DRUG HIM???? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING????

 

[whermit]

The control angel must have to not give this audacious bitch a crisp back hand.

Possibly.
But you know the amazing thing about feeling like you're right when you are? It feels exactly the same as feeling that you're right when you're wrong.
In this case, the previous state of mind was "having feelings of affection amplified to extraordinary degree while doubts were clouded." Their new state is "having feelings of affection muted while doubts are clear." How do you know what feelings are true and which ones are manipulated? Because of another feeling of "clarity of mind"? How do you know that this feeling itself isn't induced? Even in real life, there are drugs to induce a similar feeling... while still putting you in an altered state of mind.
After all, liking someone and still having some vague, undefined doubts about them is not necessarily an abnormal state of mind.

simple, you compare the natural feelings with the manipulated feelings

for exemple: you are an in universe character where your feeling for your family (or anything/anyone) is genuine and you also have feeling for Pina that you can't explain (it can be manipulation or simply common infatuation, you dont know)

if your feeling for Pina was normal (common infatuation) then it wont change anything, like your love for your family

but if your feeling for her was manipulated, and after drinking the wine your affection for her instant drops, but the love for your family didnt change, then the conclusions are 2:

1. the demon king cursed you to hate one specific person out all people in the world, he could curse you to hate the king and incite a rebelion or weaking down the nation from the inside and install a puppet king that is the prince, but he decided to make you hate only that woman

2. you were manipulated beforehand and you are ok now

 

[Wyrm]

1. the demon king cursed you to hate one specific person out all people in the world, he could curse you to hate the king and incite a rebelion or weaking down the nation from the inside and install a puppet king that is the prince, but he decided to make you hate only that woman

There would be no reason to topple a human king and put another human in his place. From the demon king's perspective, that's just switching one random human for another.

Making humans hate the "star maiden" on the other hand would have significance. The maiden is supposed to be a special human born to solve a crisis for all humanity. Like, say, a campaign of extermination by the demon king. Having her hated by the other humans would be an effective way to get rid of her without risking a direct confrontation. (Which is exactly what would have happened if the villainess had fulfilled her original role of summoning him to destroy humankind.)

You see, objectively this scenario is about as plausible as the one where the maiden was the one manipulating people.
Try to ignore what you know of the story from Remilia's POV, and try to place yourself in the role of someone who knows his own emotions are not to be trusted, because they have been manipulated at least once.

... and possible twice. Because those two ideas are not incompatible. There is the possibility that the star maiden did manipulate people and now the demon king is doing it too.

the outfit is actually cute, it gives off magical girl vibes esp if some of the patterns where toned down and uniformed.
Its just hard to see that bc p*na's tacky ass is wearing it.

i think part of it is also that the sides of the skirt are drawn to be very... lumpy, for lack of a better word? If her silhouette were cleaner her look would immediately improve.

I made some quick edits to show what I mean.

I love how this mangaka draw expressions so much

 

[jarjaxle]

The Karma! XD the Pure Pleasure...Especially when this Dumb Bitch does not even realise how SCREWED She is!!!

 

[jarjaxle]

The horror on their faces when they realize they were brainwashed by Pina. Have to feel sorry for them somewhat.

You may feel so...but same time....Karma is hitting right now

this can be the case if you do not consider what will happend in the next chapter and what Remilia found with the mirror

and considering that the star maiden is already hated for what she did in the high society, i think that the demon king do not even need to brainwash people to hate her, you can see people's reaction of her joining the party even before drinking the wine, and after drinking it their reaction on her saying that she should marry the demon king

even if you are brainwashed by Pina or Demon king, wouldnt be your first thought: is this woman ok with her head? saying it, in front of her fiance the prince, her king, the queen, the demon king, also the rest of high society, it's like asking to be executed on the spot if she didnt have some protection as star maiden and the prince's fiance

and considering the propaganda that remilia did to change people's view on the demons, brainwash via magic is really uneccessary, capitalism does it even better and you will be glad to join their side: buy my lilin wine, and for the first 300 people, i'll throw in also an anti-curse brew for all type of aliments, you can get drunk while you detoxify from your other aches
