The One Within the Villainess - Vol. 4 Ch. 13 - The Mercy of a Saint

[Yosirin]

The star maiden is pretty dumb isn't it?
Instead creating new business opertunity and creating new job for them who need, she giving food freely to someone who lazy

 

[zips]

ah yes, silk plants, for silk, the material that is famously plant-based

 

[AnotherMMD]

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!?"
"WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE, I'M DOING CHARITY HERE!"
You guys just don't understand her genius.



On another note, sure the economy needs to be fixed so that the poor are not so... poor, however, it doesn't change the immediate need of them not starving to death. So yes, charity such as this is important.

if she opened the soup kitchen luring poor people for food, then promising that she'll use her connections to give them at least low wage jobs (in Remilia's territory she pays as starter one meal per day for working the land), so they may not starve to death even in the future then sure, but she does this just to look good by the population, she does not solve the root problem, and considering the economy she cant run this for long periods

 

[Salfaro]

ah yes, silk plants, for silk, the material that is famously plant-based

I know what you mean, but fwiw, lotus silk is a thing. And considering this is weird isekai demon land, it wouldn't be too out there for weird animal-plant life to exist that made it too.

 

[AnotherMMD]

Oh my, does she still have those potions? And spreading it to the masses like this is actually good thinking. I'll give her that.

she should have finished her potions back when she made one of his harem members raid Thorne's store

 

[Nyaaa]

I pity the original heroine... She gotta be in there torturing herself, mind broken by all this evil.

 

[Amarrez]

She said she was running out then, that was the reason she made the raid happen. I don't think she's said she's flat out yet.

Oh, I'd never even thought of that, but isn't this a fairly horrific and likely scenario? Since we know what possession is like because of the Villainess, it should be the same for the Heroine... What a terrible fate indeed.

 

[Matthewkeen]

nice.

The deserved beating

 

[AnnePackrat]

I genuinely really love this. And am I alone in feeling like the only actually bad thing she’s doing is making sure she keeps her own body. Sure the motives aren’t good but the results do NOTHING but benefit those around her. Raising emy’s station through genuine good deeds

Of course she’s evil! She’s totally the villianess! Can’t you tell by the tears of agony running down the demon‘s faces?

 

[WillTell]

and the jaws of fate slowly close around her...

 

[izumabakumatsu]

Oh man, if this goes how it went in the WN, it's gonna crash so funnily on Pina's head

 

[izumabakumatsu]

I pity the original heroine... She gotta be in there torturing herself, mind broken by all this evil.

I don't remember as much but in the extra chapters of the web novel we do explore this. And yes, there is someone inside looking out. No worries though. It all ends well though as I said, I can't remember what Remi did.

 

[jaes9898]

somehow I want the OG star maiden to just take the reigns once she has enough of isekai star maiden's actions or sees what Remilia accomplished and it's her turn to sleep

 

[DeadKinginHell]

if she opened the soup kitchen luring poor people for food, then promising that she'll use her connections to give them at least low wage jobs (in Remilia's territory she pays as starter one meal per day for working the land), so they may not starve to death even in the future then sure, but she does this just to look good by the population, she does not solve the root problem, and considering the economy she cant run this for long periods

If she's trying to give food for the entire country, and without improving the economy too, considering the amount of people able to pay the taxes, and the ratio of people able/unable to pay them, then I'd say she could only do this for a year and half at most. If you add politics and X factors like Remilia, then maybe 2-4 months at most. After the economy collapsed, she's a dead meat and all of her plans for popularity would go down to smoke for sure. She's a joke. She reminded me of a certain clown voted for president and provoked a war to a huge country and now reaping what he sow, paying it greatly.

 

[Ichaivalrose]

All our hatred of the star maiden aside it really cannot be overstated how absolutely adorable the page where remilia says "nothing compared to centuries living in darkness, is it not?"

I love all the characters in this manga so much id die for any of them

 

[YukoHoon]

ah yes, silk plants, for silk, the material that is famously plant-based

I think it's time to get you introduced to banana silk.

Remilia is hugely manipulative, using her superior knowledge to play everyone around her like a fiddle. The only thing keeping her from being correctly judged as a monster is her utter devotion to 'Emi', which constrains her to take more socially-acceptable courses of action.

It's why this series is just so, so good. Remilia is absolutely a villain, who only cares about her own selfish desires and goes to great lengths to fulfill them. She has not really changed from the original character, who summoned the demon lord to ravage the world.

Luckily for everyone who isn't the Star Maiden and her harem, her desires are currently focused on pleasing a genuinely good person. So instead of drowning the world in fire and blood to get her revenge, she's giving everyone the happiest of endings so that she can usurp the "heroine"'s very reason for existence.

Ah, right, there was this bitch as well. The past few chapters have been so awesome/wholesome I forgot about her
