The One Within the Villainess - Vol. 4 Ch. 22 - Because the Heroine Never Gives Up!

[unime]

Er...what? The nobles/aristocrats/ministers seem super rational..."respecting each other's culture, evidence, etc". Where were these people when the condemnation happened?

The First Prince is so brutal to Will with that knockout jab: "Your lover truly suits you, doesn't she?"

I really wish Pina was a smarter villainess...I mean in this chapter we saw her publicly go gaga over the First Prince, we saw her call the people she was suppose to convince idiots, then she threw a temper tantrum.

Also who's the last guy and the fourth person to? Be killed, be bribed, quit, join Team Remi?

The condemnation event happened at school with all the students who were too scared to stand up to 'the prince who is in line to be king', where as here, these are politicians who straight up laugh that will's face lmao the only thing is her parents who were in the know were stupid

King(?): "Did I make a mistake?"
Remilia, probably: "Sure Did! Suffer."

You're not incorrect.

Spoiler

She makes it her mission to destroy the King, because 'A king who can't spot the lie of a single little girl has no right to rule.' Or something to that effect. She destroys the king, the kingdom, and everyone who stood by when Emi needed them the most. Remilia uses her villain powers to stamp everything and everyone who did Emi wrong into the dirt.

And it's glorious.

 

[Pineshiba]

Thank you for the chapter.

Gotta say, as much as I hate the shit maiden, the artist really drew her various expressions really well.

Spoiler: When Emi wake up?

nah neither Emi or Pina would wake up after the condemnation of Rina...... But both would be reincarnated as the daughter of Remila and Angel

seriously that star maiden wannabe is so idiot Malty S Melromarc sounds like a sage and a saintess in comparison

Spoiler: Correction to "When Emi wake up?"

Actually, the real Pina becomes her son, while Emi becomes her daughter

"This girl truly suits you, make sure you don't let her go."

Bruh you didn't need to destroy him that hard

Legit one of the best burns in the entire story. Made all the better by the fact that everyone, including Willard, gets it but her.

They're making Willard really embarrassed of Pina here. It was barely touched on in the WN, but now we see how much he is suffering with his failure in politics, and Pina's antics are not helping at all. And that burn was legendary. Dude got slapped so hard if Remilia didn't have the spiders, she would have heard it anyway.

Thing is, Pina is absolute smooth-brain here. She doesn't think something is up about the demons, especially when the products were taken away in the first place, never giving thought to Remilia doing anything, even though she's sure she's a reincarnator too. Like, she flat out admits she knows. And she doesn't think that someone else with the knowledge of the world is going to go around. It's out of her mental scope. Either she's that smooth-brained or that self-centered, or both. She is just the worst kind of character anyway.

Spoiler

In the WN Pina plots for Remilia to be r*ped just because Pina doesn't want her to be happy. She never got the time to set things in motion. She's that flippant with other people's well being.

There is nothing redeemable about her, which is what is going to make Willard's realization that much more painful. The anticipation is killing me. I can't wait to see Pina and Willard's crew get it.

my two cents are: pina is projecting that if remilia fell back into the script track, she would act like the script, bring the end of the world and so on, because that would be the easiest way to get revenge

WE'RE GOING THROUGH SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣

 

[oui_je_danse]

in a way i pity Will. If she never showed up his life would have been golden.

wonder if those premium items lower the intelligence of whoever uses them and whoever it's used on. it would explain why this girl is such a dumb bitch and why Will became an idiot

I will agree that Willard is pitiable, but he's also just a kind of guy you meet all the time. Insecure, mediocre (if left to his own devices) and all too eager to cause harm to assuage his feelings rather than improve himself.

If it wasn't Pina it would have been some other woman ready to be baby girl for him or a dude ready to fawn over him. It's better for everyone if he's just... quietly shunted off to a meaningless ceremonial post somewhere where he can't embarrass the royal family.

But even then with that script Remilia is the only one to get a bad ending. Remilia is the only one in the original story that can't be saved. Just about every other character can. Remilia was fated to die at the end of her boss battle. That's not a script to go down, and even Pina should have realized that.

i'm just assuming she hasn't even thought of remi since the time she got 'banished' since it was in some land she received/got ownership of and idk if it was given a name but i don't know if word would've spread that "The demons are living in Remilia's territory"

tho i'm sure that ppl wouldn't let her meet Remi for her own 'safety' versus her trying to bribe another man into killing off remi

 

[nanimuwu]

The immense amount of catharsis this chapter is just 🧑‍🍳🤌💋

 

[Bel-Shug]

I just re-read the story from the beginning.
Honestly it's absurd to think some reader believe that the 4 male main character deserve some pity, or blaming it all on the premium item or Star Maiden power.

Remilia was right.
Those 4 people, king, friends, maid, guard and lots of other mobs are valid revenge target.
They deserve to get whatever Remilia planned for them, especially those 4 people that Emi personally helped in the past.

 

[sinisterspider]

I'm all for seeing star maiden angry miserable and absolutely defeated, I just hope the author doesn't pull some limp-wristed "Revenge is never the answer uwu" bullshit that somehow undercuts everything good Remilia has accomplished. Maintain the trajectory, conclude the retribution, and (those who deserve to) live happily ever after.
Let's go Remilia.

 

[cannarali]

Revenge and all that is good and all but Wasn't one of Emi's initial goal was to be friend with the Star maiden? Not the bitch processing her but the original. WHAT IF just like in case of Emi and Remilia the original soul of Star maiden is also alive inside her. Maybe the shocking defeat will bring her out like how Remilia got out.
Bittersweet would be Remilia effort also reawaken Emi(Remilia).

Assuming it will be the same like in the novel, don't worry too much about that.

 

[Seath5252]

This entire chapter is so criiiiiiiinge. This girl didn't graduate high school right, she has no brains to realize the entire game plot has already gone off the rails and she has no chance in hell.

Spoiler: Can't confirm, but...

IIRC from what I read somewhere else, she was actually kicked out of school because of her ruthless bullying even back in her old life. Even back then she failed to realize actions had consequences.

 

[homerman87]

She clearly should've realized from the getgo. All the guys' lives had been fixed, but she went and drugged them all and convinced them that their savior who had been there for them for years was somehow secretly an evil witch who was bullying them. The fact she had to twists everything around should've told her that this wasn't the game world, but I'm guessing her success and everything working out for her convinced her it would always work out in the end.

I mean, she wasn't wrong about things following the path of the game world at that time, she just figured that things would return to normal once she turned the hate back to Remilia since she already figured out another Isekai'd person was involved, she just didn't factor on how how capable Remilia was when in possession of Emi's knowledge (she probably would have been fine if Emi remained in control, fortunately she completely miscalculated.) I actually really have to wonder whether the actual Pina is in the same boat as the real Remilia was (which sucks for her if she was a decent person, hard to say since theoretically Pina might not have a will of her own as an Avatar of the player 🤔.)

Spoiler

Pina's current user used to play the game, yes. She'd also play social games, bullying, lying, making everyone else's lives a living hell. She finally got caught when someone brought a camera to catch her lies, and she ended up dying in her room because she couldn't bring herself to leave. She became Pina and thinks this is her chance for happiness, her reward. So she's still acting the way she used to. Funnily enough, she'll be caught on magical camera again, but this time she'll be locked up and won't be allowed to die. They won't let her take the easy way out. Pina will be locked up and working in the mines with those she conspired with, those who go down with her, and they'll make her pay for it. She gets assaulted in every way, but won't be allowed to die. Remilia will enduce dreams for Pina where she gets everything she wanted out of life, only to wake up and come back to the mines and getting beat up by the nobles she brought down with her. And Remilia will flaunt that she's married to Angel. Pina gets her own hell, and she won't be allowed to leave it. Well, she will, if she apologizes. However, she's not that kind of person, so she can't.

That's why I'm so interested in seeing all this play out. It's glorious.

As much as I hate how it's dragging on...I want it to drag that star maiden's dignity more and more.
