1. The alpes are an agricultural region with fertile land.
2. The aurousseau family will be required...
3. To generate income without magical stones.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Our forbidden love narrowed our vision. We let that man exploit us."
2. "We were blind."
3. "Thank you. I'm grateful to you for stopping our violence."
4. "We were on the verge of getting our entire family killed."
5. "Take this with you."
6. "Lene..."
7. "Remember to use the mayonnaise when you're over there."
8. "They're new recipes."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Thank you."
2. "I think these will help you earn some seed money."
3. "You two will be all alone once you cross the border, right?"
4. "Mm-hmm!"
5. "Are you sure?"
6. "Don't ever let anyone exploit..."
7. "Your feelings toward miss claire."
8. "Take care, rae."
1. "Miss claire..."
2. "You don't want to say goodbye?"
3. "Lene..."
4. "I would never!"
5. "Do you resent me?"
1. "Even then..."
2. "I was the one who drove you both to what you did."
3. Our transgressions are unforgiveable.
4. Now I'm confused...
5. "!"
6. We selfishly hurt so many people.
7. As to who's doing the apologizing here.
1. Once again, I've made you make that expression.
2. Ten years prior.
3. François residence.
4. "Starting today, she will be in your service, miss claire."
5. "This is lene aurousseau."
1. I know she's going to quit in a week or two.
2. "I don't care about her name."
3. "Hmph!"
4. "Turn into a horse!"
5. "Commoner!"
6. "Miss claire... Please forgive me for not turning into a horse."
7. "You don't even know what a horse is?!"
8. She was selfish and perpetually sour.
9. "What a dullard you are!!"
10. Which is why every single maid in the house hated her.
11. My first impression of her was atrocious.
1. "To ride on the back of someone as lowly as myself."
2. "I cannot allow an important person such as yourself..."
3. "!!"
4. "Well, maybe you're not so stupid... For a commoner."
5. "Hmph!"
6. "Listen to me, lene."
7. "You have my gratitude."
8. "You said your name was... Lene, right?"
9. "I expect great things of you."
1. I'm the eldest daughter of the aurousseau company. This appointment will also serve to deepen the relationship between my father's company and the françois household.
2. "She is not your friend. Do you understand?"
3. Of course, I understand that much.
4. "Take care to mind your words and actions. Even though she's young, miss claire is your master."
5. As I go about my duties,
6. I'll slowly rein in a stubborn miss claire...
1. "I wonder if it's thanks to the skills of the new maid?"
2. "This tea is simply scrumptious."
3. "Goodness, me."
4. She is an incredibly busy individual.
5. "I believe this may be your first time seeing her."
6. This is miss claire's mother, madam melia.
7. "Mother!"
8. The madam is a socialite, her popularity rivaling that of the master.
9. Though, there are rumors that she pulls his strings behind the scenes.
10. "That's quite interesting."
11. "Goodness!"
1. "I wished to surprise you, my dear. ♥"
2. "I wish you would have written me a letter!"
3. "I didn't know you'd be coming home so soon!"
4. "That's be- cause..."
5. She's a doting mother.
6. "Oh wow! Strawberry desserts!"
7. "Here, claire. This is a souvenir for you."
8. "He still has work to attend to."
9. "Moth- eeer!"
10. "Oh! But where is father?"
1. "Come on! Get over here, lene!"
2. "Please grant me the discretion to wear what I please."
3. "Wow."
4. "It's so frilly..."
5. "And sparkly."
6. "We keep the newest designs in the back."
7. "Right this way, miss claire."
8. "Don't you have anything else like this in stock?!"
1. She gets to wear such lovely outfits.
2. It must be nice to be wealthy.
3. "This costs my monthly salary many times over!"
4. "Hmm?"
1. "A commoner has snuck into this establishment!"
2. "Where is the shopkeep?!"
3. "You!"
4. "...!"
5. "This store is for nobles!"
6. "Why is there a commoner in here?"
7. "Get out this instant!"
8. "Aaah!"
9. "All of these clothes are ruined!"
10. "Oh no!"
1. "You there. You can speak loronese at your age?"
2. "Your highness darcel."
3. "I can, your highness."
4. "Has my servant done something to offend you?"
5. "No wonder you are so well behaved and educated."
6. "Thank you very much."
7. "My name is claire françois."
8. "I am the daughter of dole françois..."
9. "The minister of finance of the bauer kingdom."
10. "What?!"
11. "You're dole's daughter?"
1. "Commoners must not be allowed inside."
2. "My nation, loro, has invested in this store. It's exclusively for nobles."
3. "However... It is inappropriate of you to bring a commoner in here."
4. "I beg your pardon, your highness..."
5. "What policy?"
6. "But have you heard of the new policy that king l'ausseil of the bauer kingdom..."
7. "His majesty plans to introduce laws that will elevate and educate commoners."
8. "Means to enact within our borders?"
1. "This commoner is a test case."
2. "I do apologize, but I am currently practicing what my kingdom will soon enforce..."
3. "To observe the results."
4. "Thank you very much, your majesty."
5. "I shall overlook this incident."
6. "You have given me excellent insight."
7. "Oh. Is that so?"
8. "Then loro cannot ignore it."
9. "Well, if this is the will of the bauer kingdom..."
1. "Umm... Miss claire?"
2. "I'm exhausted after dealing with scum like that."
3. "I'm verry sorry for what happened."
4. "I was a coward, and--"
5. "Scum?!"
6. "S..."
1. "Trash, trash, trash! You hear me?! Trash!"
2. "Loro is nothing but trash!"
3. "Um... what do you mean, your property?"
4. "I'm talking about you, Lene."
5. "It's unfeasible that he would dare to sneer at my property."
6. "How inexcusably rude of him!"
7. "Listen to me, Lene."
8. "You must take pride in that."
9. "You may be a commoner..."
10. "But you're a commoner who is very close to the aristocracy."
1. "Because you..."
2. "Are a servant to me, claire françois!"
3. "You must become both the best commoner and the best servant. Do you understand?"
4. "There is nothing shameful about being my servant."
5. Echoed within me.
6. Those words...
1. "I... Lene aurousseau..."
2. "Swear to become... A worthy servant to you, miss claire."
3. Above all else...
4. When she was herself.
5. I thought that claire françois was most beautiful...
1. "I want you both to stay here with me!"
2. "No!"
3. "Your father and I have something we simply cannot reschedule."
4. "I'm so sorry, claire."
5. "Please try to understand."
6. "As nobles, our duties come first."
7. "Don't give your mother trouble."
8. "Claire..."
9. "I don't need a present."
10. "You may have anything your little heart desires."
11. "What would you like?"
12. "That's right! I'll be sure to buy you a present, claire!"
1. "Claire will understand someday."
2. "......"
3. "I hate you, mother!!"
4. "Poor claire."
5. "I feel terrible."
6. "After all..."
7. Today is her birthday.
8. "Excuse me..."
1. "Miss claire?"
2. "I don't believe you."
3. "Truly do wish to be with you, miss claire."
4. "The master and madam..."
5. "!!"
6. "I wonder if my mother and father..."
7. "Why won't they stay here and celebrate my birthday with me?!"
8. "Then why?!"
9. "That isn't true!!"
10. "Wish that they'd had a boy instead of me."
1. Her backside shook with sadness.
2. "I want to be alone."
3. "Leave me."
4. I think I would have given her a hug.
5. If I were her friend...
6. "Happy birthday to you!"
7. "Miss claire!"
1. "You have my gratitude for putting together such a wonderful party."
2. "Thank you... For this celebration, everyone."
3. "This is a present from all of your attendants."
4. "Miss claire..."
5. "You will grow into it."
6. "But... It's a bit big, isn't it?"
7. "Until then..."
8. "What a lovely new brush!"
9. "May I open it?"
10. "Oh wow! I wonder what it is!"
1. "Why don't you use it to brush the madam's hair?"
2. "Oh, yes."
3. "Good idea."
4. "......"
5. "That sounds perfect."
1. "We cannot refuse their invitations, no matter how late they may arrive."
2. "They may oppose us, but they are powerful nobles."
3. "Melia..."
4. "Is this morning still weighing on your mind?"
5. "Yes, it is."
6. "At this rate, we should make it in time to celebrate claire's birthday."
7. "I'm glad that we were able to leave early."
8. Sometimes, I think to myself...
9. "But..."
10. "I understand that."
11. Had she not been born a noble.
12. That perhaps claire would have been happier...
1. "Look out!"
2. "!!"
3. "My lady, it's terrible!"
4. "About the master and..."
5. "Melia..."
6. "What is this commotion?!"
7. "A message has just arrived."
8. "It's..."
1. "The madam..."
2. "The opposition has become rather aggressive."
3. "Perhaps... A month from now."
4. "Master, when will you return home?"
1. "Chief maid."
2. "As for what we spoke about..."
3. "Yes, sir."
4. "I shall see to it that miss claire stays with her relatives in sousse."
5. "Oh, miss claire!"
6. "You didn't eat much breakfast, did you?"
7. "Would you like some strawberries?"
8. "But if you don't eat..."
9. "I understand your pain or know how you feel..."
10. "Miss claire... I won't pretend as if..."
1. "...!"
2. "If I were to die..."
3. "Could I see my mother?"
4. "That would make the madam sadder than anything!"
5. "I know you're hurting, but please don't talk about dying!"
6. "I..."
1. In the end...
2. "This is where we take our leave."
3. I can't bring myself to say farewell.
4. "Thank you for seeing us off."
5. And perhaps even said a proper farewell.
6. We could have looked each other in the eye...
7. "We would have worn the same clothing and eaten the same meals!"
8. Had we been from the same social class...
9. "Miss claire!"
10. "Lene!"
11. But that's nothing more than a dream.
1. "Until we do..."
2. "We will meet again one day!"
3. "I refuse to bid you farewell!"
4. "I command you to stay healthy!"
5. What a beautiful human.
6. She's pushy and tender...
7. And more delicate than anyone I've ever met.
1. "From now until forever..."
2. "Don't..."
3. "Don't say she was."
4. "She was a good master."
5. Will be my master till my dying breath.
6. "Miss claire..."
1. And there they go.
2. "May I hug you?"
3. "Miss claire."
4. "What is it?"
5. "Because..."
6. "Why are you always fixated on crazy things?"
7. "You utterly exhaust me."
8. "Awww!"
9. "Of course not. I'm going home."
1. "I think it's okay to cry over something like this, you know?"
2. "I just lost a maid. That's it. Nothing more."
3. "D-don't be stupid. Why would I cry?"
1. Why would I cry over something...
2. "Miss claire, I'm behind you right now."
3. "That means I can't see your face."
4. Like...
1. "Things don't always turn out how you want in this world."
2. "Even falling in love isn't free."
3. "I can tell you didn't want lene to leave."
4. "Cheeky for a commoner."
5. "You really are..."
6. This means marriage is all but set.
7. Hooray! I've gotten miss claire to gain a deeper understanding of how I work!
8. "Who would want to marry you?!"
9. "Yes. I'm cheeky, and I deserve to be punished!"
10. "No, thank you. I know you'll just treat it as a reward."
1. "This isn't the end."
2. "You'll meet her again one day."
3. "I know I will."
4. "You're right. As long as I continue to live my life..."
1. I wonder if claire has received my letter.
2. "Hm-hmm!"
3. "Mm-hmm!"
4. I can't wait.
5. I'm so excited.
6. To be continued...
2. Sorry to Aonoshimo-sensei, but I had to be first in line to offer my thanks. Hello! It's me, the creator of this series, Inori. How did you enjoy the fourth volume of I'm in Love with the Villainess?
3. This volume contained the Commoner Movement arc, which is a very serious point within the original story. There must have been many a painful and shocking moment as you read through it, but Aonoshimo-sensei's exceptional balance created a fantastic product in the end. I'm sure this was particularly evident when reading Chapter 20.
4. The next volume starts with the Scales of Love arc. This is where the romance really flourishes within the story, as a massive change occurs in the relationship between the two young women, and...well, you'll just have to read Volume 5 for more!
5. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to each and every single person who purchased this volume. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
6. P.S. The same day that this volume went on sale, I'm in Love with the Villainess: Revolution also went on sale in Japan, so please check it out!
1. "Right now, we cannot purchase them."
2. "Strawberries aren't in season."
3. "Miss Claire."
4. AS A SMALL CHILD...
5. MISS CLAIRE WAS A LIVELY LITTLE GIRL.
6. "Then shouldn't you be running around this kingdom, gathering them for my daughter?"
7. "I want to eat a mountain of strawberries! Give me strawberries!"
8. "NOOOOOOOO!"
9. IT WAS TOO MUCH.
10. I can eat as many strawberries as I...
11. "Mmm! Delicious!"
12. "Look at all of these strawberries!"
13. "Eat as many as you'd like, Claire."
14. "I have to leave now."
15. As I... As I...
1. "Lene... Lene..."
2. "Yes?"
3. "What is wrong with you?"
4. "Stuffed"
5. "Your cheeks..."
6. "I can't eat all of these."
7. "Isn't that right, Lene?!"
8. "She's a squirrel! I commanded her to become one!"
9. "Squeak!"
10. "Normally, if you ate your master's food, you'd be punished severely."
11. "Thanks to Claire, though, I was able to fill my tummy with strawberries."
12. "Lene! Tell me more about what Claire was like as a little girl!"
13. "Every time I see strawberries, it takes me back."
1. The People Are Revolting
