The Role of the Villainess Is No More! - Vol. 2 Ch. 7

Ah, what a tear-jerking end to the first story arc.

And now, on to the next one, rife with political intrigues and an adorable shouta love interest. (Love that little "Recharge" there where he hugs Lefina. Heh.)

 

[FuziNeko]

That’s a nice end to the first arc. Also Kuroh if you see this, I don’t mind the sfx not being translated. Keep up the good work ^^

 

[berryoragami]

Thanks for the translation!

...why did Sora lose her memories of her sister? That's pretty nonsensical and melodramatic. Did the rest of the family forget Yukino existed as well? How about her burial, family registry, birth certificate? Wasn't she working before that? No one going to ask why she didn't come into work or why they're suddenly short on staff?
Page 15 Do you believe everything a scheming fairy tells you? This is lazy, rushed writing.
Page 28 Somehow I doubt that. It feels like the author wanted to do an entirely different story but created the villainess premise and title to follow the trend and get some popularity. Now that they have the readers they want to drop the pretext as quickly as possible.

I was wondering if this was a trend and I noticed this is the same artist as "I Became a Villainess" which also had an incredibly convoluted backstory involving cycles of reincarnation and the world ending if the "original story" did not progress properly. Are they just really bad with exposition, or are they cursed to work on terrible plots?

One of the funny things is the meme page at the end jokes about the axing but at ch18 it ends, so this series did indeed get axe-kunned. Infact I dunno how this is gonna resolve cleanly considering how much faff is in these 7 chapters as they could have been 3 and conveyed the same content.

who is the woman at the end?

I can't say much about the author's intentions (since I haven't read the WN)
but I can at least give a theory regarding your first question on why sora lost her memories.

Throughout Volume 1 (ch 1-6), we didn't actually know HOW yukino became lefina. We only know that she made a contract with God, and that her soul was transferred into Lefina's body, but the process and aftermath was not described.

Most likely, God didn't "kill" Yukino per se but instead completely erased any proof of existence of Yukino (ie memories, records, photographs). It makes things convenient for the author too, there wouldnt be any need for POVs or short stories from the original world since they dont remember Yukino in the first place.

It would have to be something like that, since she met her sister and the sister cried unknowingly. I'm also assuming the "God" erased her existence from the OG world.

who is the woman at the end?

That's the queen if I'm not mistaken

 

[JWChibi]

Why didnt it just end there? Are there even more secrets now?

 

[Kefrayba]

I think the real question is why the queen still wear a hat at night in, presumably, her private room.
