1. In the original future that was supposed to happen...
2. I have made choice after choice that didn't exist in the story in order to avoid destruction.
3. Because I have, the world has begun to slowly change...
4. Miss claire would face the ugliest ending possible.
5. And things have begun to transpire that even I didn't anticipate.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "That ring..."
2. The same was true with louie. He was never supposed to become a foe.
3. "That's the magical tool to raise the dead!"
4. "Then that means the mastermind behind the ghost ship coming here is..."
5. "What...?!"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "That's right. It was all me."
2. Much more drastically than I ever thought it would.
3. Maybe the story will change...
1. "There were a few things that seemed suspicious."
2. "To be honest..."
3. "There's also the crest on the armor that the undead were wearing."
4. It was an awfully opulent and clean ship despite being a ghost ship.
5. "That means that the undead on this ship..."
6. "That crest belongs to a bauer aristocrat, doesn't it?"
7. "Were servants of the aristocrats sent to defeat the undead."
8. "What did you just say?!"
1. "That's right. It was a simple job."
2. "And my employer is a rather generous individual."
3. "The poison, Cantarella."
4. "As well as this little gem here."
5. "They lent me this ring..."
6. "!!"
7. "You're a Nur Empire assassin?!"
8. "Don't you think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself with your explanation?"
9. "I know how to formulate the antidote for it with detoxifying magic!"
1. "That means your magical tool for raising the undead is useless."
2. "Not to mention, there are no corpses here."
3. "Who said I was using it on you all?"
1. "Take this!"
2. "He turned himself into an undead?!"
1. "The newest blend of cantarella... Is formulated to be uncurable."
2. "Once taken, all magic is nullified."
3. "It didn't work?!"
1. "Give up."
2. "If you don't resist, I'll give you an easy death."
3. "Hrah!"
4. "Take this!"
1. "We gotta keep at it and protect them while they fight the boss!"
2. "Do you think the commander's okay in there?"
3. "Of course he is! Miss claire is with him, too!"
4. "Gh!"
5. "Flame lance!"
1. "He kept us in the back, saying we were his aces in the hole..."
2. "It's not working at all!!"
3. "Because his true goal was to trap us in here with him!"
4. "Hrah!"
1. "Rae...!"
2. "You've changed."
3. "You're nothing like the kid I knew."
4. "Gggh!"
5. "Hah!"
6. "I could say the same to you!"
1. "Let go of rae this instant!"
2. "!!"
3. "Misha!"
4. "I'm on it!"
1. "I'm not going to just die because you want me to."
2. "Sorry, but I'm all in on miss claire."
1. "Why do I have to do that...?"
2. "Huh?"
3. "And find a spot with the least foes."
4. "Look through-out the whole ship..."
5. "Misha! Scan for enemies!"
6. "Use anything and everything you can find and ram it into him!"
7. "We can cause physical damage by using physical objects as an inter-mediary!"
8. "Okay..."
9. "I don't have time to explain!"
10. "Trust me, okay?"
11. "Youuu!!"
1. Putting aside the fact that he's undead, he's very skilled in battle!
2. He recovered so quickly...!
3. "Claire françois!"
4. "Even if I die at your hands, I will take you with me!"
5. "Money, money, money! I need money!"
6. "Yeah, money!"
7. "You want revenge since I stole your precious rae?!"
8. "Is that so?!"
9. "It's something an aristocrat like you would never understand!"
10. "What were you after? Money?"
11. "I bet you were ordered by the nur empire to simply kill aristocrats all along!"
1. Why would he go that far...?
2. "You'll never understand a commoner's suffering!"
3. He's put the girl he loves in danger...
4. And was willing to throw his own life away.
5. Why is he so obsessed with money?
6. "Miss claire...!!"
7. "...!"
1. "Rae!!"
2. "Mngh...!"
3. "Gh...!"
1. "Miss claire."
2. "It's just a flesh wound."
3. "Rae! Are you okay?!"
4. "How's that scan going, misha?!"
5. "Just a little bit more...!"
6. "If you hesitate now, it will end in your death."
7. "He is officially our foe."
2. "You're finished!"
1. "?!"
1. Oh...
2. That's the amulet...
3. I gave her back then!!
4. "Winds!"
1. "Misha!"
2. "They won't last long."
3. "They're just quick bindings."
4. "Rae...!"
5. "Thank you, misha!"
6. "The room with the fewest monsters is the third one from the stern!"
7. "I've finished my search!"
8. "This is the critical moment for us all!"
1. "What made the ship jolt like that?!"
2. "Whoa!"
3. "Enough with your pointless fighting!"
4. "Come to me..."
1. "Swords ?!"
1. "Misha! Miss claire!"
2. "Use your magic to stab louie with those swords!"
1. "Graaaaah!!"
2. "Ggh...!"
1. "Then that means..."
2. "The undead are disappearing into thin air..."
3. "What the...?!"
4. "He did it! We all did it, commander!"
1. "Was a ship full of aristocrats who came here for the undead sending."
2. "This ship..."
1. "That told me the ship had to be overflowing with silver swords, an undead's natural weakness."
2. "Naturally, that means the undead would avoid going anywhere near the armory."
3. "This ship is going to sink."
4. "Let's get out of here."
5. "Miss claire."
6. "To burst through the thinnest wall and bring the weapons here."
7. "All that was left was to manipulate the seawater..."
8. "Wait."
9. "Don't you have any last words?"
10. "Louie..."
1. "Speak."
2. "What a kind aristocrat you are..."
3. "Miss claire?!!"
4. "Then..."
5. "I have one request to make."
6. "It's about my mother."
7. "To a doctor in the capital."
8. "I spent all our savings to take her..."
9. "She's sick."
1. I begged everyone I knew for help, but even with their donations, I had only half of what I needed for the potion.
2. The magic potion she'd need to save her costs even more than the doctor's fee.
3. When I did, he said she had a growth in her stomach.
4. Even if I took on nothing but dangerous, high-paying requests, it would take me a year of adventuring to earn enough.
5. "Swear that I will take care of your mother."
6. "I, claire of house françois..."
7. "Very well."
8. "So that..."
9. "Was your reason for accepting this job."
1. "Thank you..."
2. "Now... Please rest."
3. I wonder...
4. "Miss claire, rae is right."
5. "We need to go."
6. "Are you satisfied, miss claire?"
1. "My debt..."
2. "If they'll forgive..."
1. "Having a gravestone in your own yard, even if small, is significant."
2. "Louie is quite fortunate even in the afterlife."
3. "What a small grave."
1. "Rae, claire..."
2. "Miss ophelia..."
3. "I've recovered enough to walk again. After drinking the potion I received..."
4. "Are you sure you should be out like this?"
5. "I'm fine."
6. "Thanks to that, I'm now able to lay flowers on my son's grave."
1. ""Are you louie's mother...?""
2. "To think my sweet little crybaby would become a hero who protected everyone."
3. "Louie was a wonderful son."
4. ""He died protecting his friends.""
5. ""Louie was a hero.""
6. ""He died trying to take down the ghost ship that was threatening the town.""
7. But claire had stubbornly insisted.
8. I'd been dead set against it.
9. That was the official version of events we were going with.
10. Still...
11. But...
1. "If it meant he would have come back home to me..."
2. "I wish he'd stayed a crybaby..."
3. The sins louie committed were unforgiveable.
1. "What situation are you talking about?"
2. "Situa- tion...?"
3. "Oh, erm, that's to say..."
4. "It's simple to denounce him for what he did..."
5. "And our politicians are neglecting those citizens who live in this wicked condition."
6. "Poverty is evil..."
7. "But doing so misses the point of this entire situation."
8. "In other words, the flaw lies in the system itself."
9. "But...!"
10. "You know that better than anyone, don't you, miss claire?"
11. "But politics isn't solely a matter of beautiful ideas."
12. "That might be a bit extreme..."
1. "What's wrong with aiming for something good?"
2. "Isn't that just taking refuge in cynicism?"
3. "I want to know... No, I must learn more about... The real state of our kingdom!"
1. "Miss claire..."
2. "To that end, I will... Do whatever you need of me."
3. "I will protect your aspirations not to run from reality."
4. "I respect your noble heart."
5. "That reminds me, miss claire!"
6. "Rae...?"
1. "Though I suppose I should have expected at least that from something made by the spiritual church..."
2. "Ah, but then it was false advertising to call it a real love charm."
3. "Perhaps it was a sacrifice charm?"
4. "I can't believe you were wearing the amulet I gave you... ♥"
5. "That's not...!"
6. "The church, huh...?"
1. "Thanks a whole lot!"
2. "Wow! You're right! It doesn't hurt anymore!"
3. "There we go. You should be all better with this."
4. "N-not at all."
5. "One of the church's doctrines is to..."
6. "H-heal the wounds of our citizens and--"
7. "Aww yeah! Let's play another game!"
8. He's not listening to me.
9. "Ah ha ha ha..."
10. "Kyaa!"
11. "Hey! Augh..."
1. "Oh well."
2. "What a wonderful day. And such lovely weather..."
3. To be continued...
1. "Come on in, miss claire..."
2. "You're very welcome! We're sorry that our hospitality wasn't anything too amazing."
3. "Thank you for allowing me to stay."
4. "I can't breathe!!"
5. "Whoa!"
6. "Rae, you keep up the good work at the academy."
7. "If you want!"
8. In many ways.
9. "I now feel pain..."
10. In many ways.
11. "Your mother is generous..."
2. "This is akin to taking your life!"
3. "Stop this at once!"
4. "Rae!"
5. "Who would go swimming in the ocean?!"
6. On the third day...
7. We went to a beach in euclid.
8. "We're just going for some light swimming and then we'll be done."
9. "I'm not going swimming in the open sea."
10. "There's nothing dangerous about it."
1. "I will not let you go in the water!"
2. "I have a responsibility to monitor those who serve me!"
3. While I appreciate her feelings...
4. Hmm...
5. I haven't been to the beach in forever.
6. I want to enjoy myself a little bit.
7. "Oh! I know!"
8. "Stop right there, rae!"
9. "Let's go swimming together, miss claire."
10. "Now your safety is assured."
1. "I want to go back to land now!"
2. "This is far enough, don't you think, rae?!"
3. "Just a bit more, okay?"
4. She's so cute.
5. "Eeeep!!"
6. "If I do that, you'll be dragged out to sea."
7. "No! Let go of me at once!"
8. "Oh!"
9. "One, two!"
10. "Wh-wh-what has gotten into you?!"
11. "Miss claire!"
12. "Hurry! We're going to miss our chance!"
13. "What?!"
14. "Why don't you try holding your breath underwater?"
1. "Oooh! That was a new record!"
2. "Ack!"
3. "What are you going on about?"
4. I didn't even know they existed in this world!
5. I've never seen real dolphins in the wild before.
6. What was...?
7. They were gorgeous, weren't they?
8. "Enough with this! Let! Me! Go! Back!"
9. "What a real shame. What an utterly wasted opportunity."
10. "I didn't see anything like that!"
1. On the Beach (Misha's Viewpoint)
2. Written by Inori.
3. Now that I reflect on the past, I realize I was aware of it as a child. My family was dealing with some sort of issue, and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to continue living the life we had up until then. As a child, it wasn't something I should have expressed openly, but then again, there wasn't an adult around me who could act as if it didn't affect them.
4. The Jur Household was defeated in a political struggle between ours and another household and we lost our territory. That saw us placed under the protection of the François household.
5. We left the royal capital where we had become accustomed to living and we set foot in the lands of Euclid as I stifled my own shaken feelings. Compared with the royal capital, the cityscape before me was significantly inferior, and I felt incredibly exhausted.
6. "“I’ll see you again, Misha!”"
1. Those were the final words Master Yu spoke to me before I departed. I replayed them over and over in my mind. My inability to respond positively or negatively to his words was due to my feelings of wanting to see him again fighting with my logical sense that it would never happen. Now that I reexamine these feelings after my departure, I feel that I was correct in not carelessly responding positively. At the same time, it feels as if I was forced to confront the reality that I would never see Master Yu again, and those feelings made my heart ache. I'm certain that Master Yu would be fine on his own, but I found no solace in that.
2. My parents appeared to be busy arranging things for our new home, so I told them I would be playing outside in order to avoid getting in their way. My parents had enough trust in me that I wouldn't do anything on my own that would cause them excess worry.
3. In truth, I suppose I wasn't that difficult of a child in the first place... I think.
4. I'd heard that this town was near the ocean, so I headed for it. I had no idea how to get there, so I relied on the scent of the sea breeze to guide me. Eventually, it spread out before my eyes.
5. "“Oh, wow...”"
6. Seeing the ocean for the first time was significantly better than I'd ever imagined it would be. However, when I faced it, I didn't realize the impact it would have as I'd never seen it in person and found myself astonished.
7. It's big. In fact, it's too big.
1. I stared at it for a while, but eventually, I felt this emotion stirring within. Fear. I had been confronted with the reality that my own existence was so minor in the grand scheme of things and felt an overwhelming fear taking over me. It eventually hit me that I needed to get away from it. But I didn't know the way home. I had memorized the route, but the overwhelming presence of the beach had wiped it from my memory. Fear and confusion consumed me, and I couldn't stop myself from shedding tears.
2. I rarely cried, but this time, things were different. Looking back, I think it must have been because I'd faced so many hardships. It was decided that we would depart from the capital, I lost Master Yu, and I was all alone in a land I knew nothing about. Seeing the ocean was the trigger for all of those things, so it made everything come crashing down inside of me. I sobbed and howled on the beach.
3. "“Why are you crying...?”"
4. "“...?”"
5. A voice suddenly called out to me. It belonged to a girl. When I looked up, I saw a young girl with a blank expression and strange aura looking down at me. My first impression was that she was beautiful. For the most part, people had told me all my life that I lacked emotions, but the girl before me exceeded this as her expression didn't shift one bit. She also had this fleeting, translucent beauty to her.
6. "“Rae! We ain't done with our training yet! You won't ever become a great adventurer like... Hmm? Who is this?”"
1. I learned that the girl’s name was Rae. Behind her appeared a boy with fluffy hair who held a wooden stick in his right hand. Before I knew what was going on, Rae had sat down next to me and was gently patting my shoulder. She glanced at the boy and spoke.
2. "“I don’t know who she is, but she was crying...” she said."
3. "“Hmm. Okay. So what?” responded the boy."
4. "“Do something about this, Louie,” Rae shot back."
5. "“Do what? What can I do about this?” Louie replied."
6. The boy named Louie held his head in his hands as if to say that Rae was yet again making another unreasonable request. I had a feeling that these two were friends.
7. “They must be about the same age as me,” I thought.
8. Unlike Rae who had this sense of detachment from the real world to her, Louie appeared to be a normal boy who made people feel relaxed and welcome. He scratched his head as he stuck out a hand at me.
9. "“Can you stand up? I know you’re lost. I’ll help you get home,” he fired off rapidly."
10. He spoke roughly like a commoner would, but I felt confused as I didn’t sense any hatred in his words. Louie’s smile was broad and there was no nastiness in it, which must have meant that Rae trusted me. I felt so relieved at the sight of them that I began to cry harder.
11. "“Whaa? What happened now?!” he asked me."
12. "“You made her cry, Louie,” said Rae."
13. "“Me?! Why am I being blamed for this?!” he spoke with confusion."
1. Louie panicked as Rae chided him with no expression on her face. This sort of direct, outspoken interaction was something that one would never, ever see in the world of the nobles.
2. “Oh, I get it. This is the world I now live in. This is... surprisingly not bad,” I thought to myself.
3. "“Hee hee...”"
4. "“Are you done crying?” asked Rae."
5. "“Well? It’s all thanks to me, right?” asked Louie."
6. "“You didn’t do anything, Louie,” stated Rae."
7. "“That’s mean!” fired back Louie."
8. Their interaction was just so strange that I didn’t even realized I’d stopped crying.
9. "“My name’s Rae. What’s yours?” asked Rae."
10. "“Misha. Misha Jur,” I stated."
11. "“I’m Louie. Nice to meet ya, Misha,” quipped Louie."
12. Children can be oddly shy, but I assumed that maybe Rae and Louie were special. I quickly found myself with two new friends. This is how our story began. It’s an irreplaceable memory of our friendship.
13. "“Yet...you’re no longer with us, Louie...” I stated."
14. I clasped my hands together in front of his grave. I was one of the ones who attacked him, so I wondered if I was a hypocrite for doing this. Even then, I had faith that he would have forgiven me. My memories of us as a trio of friends as kids reassured me.
1. “I wish I could have witnessed you interact more with Miss Claire,” I mumbled.
2. Now I was just mumbling things which would never be. Even if I knew they were my own fruitless delusions, I couldn’t stop myself. That was why...
3. “Take care of Rae for me.”
4. I felt as if I’d just heard him say those words to me, but I’m sure I was just imagining things.
5. “Yes. Leave it to me,” I mentally responded.
6. I muttered that I would come to visit him again before turning my back on my friend’s grave. The sound of crashing waves continued to echo across the town, remaining unchanged from when I first heard them.
2. “Childhood friend” is a term that carries eternal hope in it. Hello everyone, this is Inori. Did you enjoy the sixth installment of I’m in Love with the Villainess?
3. This volume featured the story of Rae and Claire on summer break. Following the decisive battle with Manaria, the two giggled and squealed as their relationship was to move forward...or so they thought until you-know-what happened. How dare someone do that? Who wrote this?! Show your face!! (Hi, it’s me. I’m the author, it’s me.) This volume was yet another display of Aonoshimo-sensei giving 120% to the story and I think it turned out magnificently. Thank you for your hard work on this volume, too, Aonoshimo-sensei.
4. We’re growing closer to the anime debuting. I’m getting more and more pumped up as we grow closer. I hope you’ll be, too!
5. I hope that we’ll meet again in the next volume. -Inori.
6. P.S. Next is the church arc with you-know-who appearing!
1. "I've got it! Rae's mother was a tailor, right?"
2. "This town only sells pathetic commoner swimsuits."
3. "I knew it."
4. "Time to make a ton of clothing and then become rich!"
5. "This era is all about branding!"
6. "Good day!"
7. "Good idea!"
8. "I bet if we asked them to, she could make something for us!"
9. "Well, I made all of the outfits you asked me to."
10. "We don't have anyone to wear them, though..."
11. "You can't make me!!"
12. "I won't do it, mel."
13. "Cut it out."
4. "It's huge! And there are so many people!"
7. It took us ten hours by plane to reach los angeles...!!
10. As for how big it is...
11. It's the largest in the united states!!
12. Ax is a massive event with display booths, cosplayers, concerts...
13. It's a convention centered around anime and manga.
14. "Wait, what even is ax*?"
15. Where all kinds of guests and visitors gather!
17. *ax is short for "Anime expo."
2. ""
3. ""
4. "I heard that they ran out of numbered tickets the minute they opened the venue."
5. "The line outside of the booth is everyone here for the signing event, yes?"
6. "Was it an auction?!"
8. "And then I just sign it, right??"
9. "Uhh, so I write their name here..."
10. And the people who cosplayed as master rod!
12. But everyone was so wonderful that I had a great time chatting with them.
13. I felt like a fish out of water at my first signing event...
14. ""
15. "Wh-what an angel..."
17. "Oh, shoot!"
18. "I wrote their name too big..."
19. "And now my signature is tiny!"
20. "Pull yourself together, commoner!"
1. ""
2. "Arigatou gozaimasu!"
3. The best part of all...
4. "Along with a card personally signed by inori-sensei!"
5. "Here is your pre-drawn bonus mini-illustration..."
6. "We have that to look forward to."
7. "Now that we've seen the smiles of all the fans..."
9. "The world's a big place, but it's lovely to see everyone loving the story in the same way!"
10. Los angeles was...
11. Dry, hot, and just the best!
12. To humid, rainy japan!
13. Head back home...
14. Until the anime debuts in october!
15. Let's put the pedal to the metal and do our best...
16. "I agree! Let's hurry and..."
