1. "It's only natural it would be this crowded."
2. "Well, it is the harvest festival."
3. "Woooow!"
4. "Look at all the people!"
5. I came to watch the ceremonial dance every year because it's like a lucky charm.
6. Though I never thought we'd be the ones dancing!
7. "Riche. Why not take a moment to relax?"
8. "Waaah! Now I'm getting all nervous!"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "I understand your advice, your majesty."
2. "But there may be spies among the spectators who are after yu's life."
3. "To be honest, I don't want him setting even a single foot outside of the castle."
4. "While it is the harvest festival, and the royal family must be in attendance..."
5. "You need to be resolute in displaying your attitude as queen."
6. "Not even a single kitten could approach us without permission."
7. "And that is why I have increased the number of guards tonight."
1. Is to use the backing of the spiritual church to seize the throne!
2. My duty...
3. Perhaps he doesn't fear for his life, or yu's life.
4. But I'm sure he'd feel differently if rod was the one targeted.
5. "Take a moment to relax?!"
6. Yet I am cursed with the death of my son soon after giving birth?
7. That is why I abandoned everything and married into the royal family.
8. Yu is all I have left at this point!
1. "Make sure you protect yu should it come to it."
2. "Rod. Thane."
3. "We absolutely will, your majesty."
4. I must personally make sure no harm comes to him...
5. In order to ensure he ascends the throne!
6. "I swear it on my life."
7. "Are you really sure about this...?"
1. "I've already thought about that."
2. "Though I'm sure they will be strict with Rae..."
3. "Besides... this is a request from our adorable little sister."
4. "I'm sure Claire and the others won't face any punishments either."
5. "The worst we will have to deal with is a few complaints from our father."
6. "There's no way we as your older brothers wouldn't help you out!"
1. I'm such a selfish person.
2. I've dragged my brothers, lilly, and others into this mess...
3. All so...
4. I can destroy everything.
5. "That this will work."
6. "I know..."
1. "Here they come...!"
1. "Look at that one in the center!"
2. "It's not just the nuns dancing this year, right?"
3. "They're beautiful."
1. "She moves with such grace!"
2. "...... ......"
3. "Was the commoner always this good at dancing?!"
4. "Whaaaaat?!"
1. "Misha!"
2. "I do."
3. "care for Master Yu, don't you?"
4. "You really do..."
5. "You were planning on keeping it from me?!"
6. "but I guess with your knowledge of the game, you already knew how I felt, didn't you?"
7. "I was planning on keeping that a secret from you..."
1. "How about this?"
2. "Will you still care for Master Yu when she reverts to her true gender?"
3. "I don't know."
4. "I'm not confident that I can love someone of the same gender as I can someone of the opposite."
5. "However..."
6. "I hate the idea of Master Yu not being able to live as her authentic self."
1. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND YOU AS A PERSON.
2. REI...
3. "It's okay."
4. "I'm very sorry, but I don't have an answer to your question just yet."
5. DESPITE THIS...
6. WHEN I RECALL HOW YOUR VERSION OF LOVE WAS REJECTED...
7. I FIND THE COURAGE I NEED.
8. "You have all the time in the world to find the answer that suits you best."
1. "What the--?!"
2. "Look at that dancer!"
1. I feel...
2. Warm.
3. I'm overcome with joy...
4. "Could that dancer there..."
5. As well as sadness.
6. These feelings are ones...
7. "Wha?!"
8. "Impossible!"
1. "Yu?!"
2. "I've never once experienced before!"
1. "She trans-formed?! What is going on here?!"
2. "The third crown prince, yu!"
3. "Could it be an accidental resemblance? Ah, no, maybe not...?"
4. "Maybe, but he's a girl right now."
5. "That's no girl! She's..."
6. "And who is this beside me?!"
7. "Wh-why is yu on the stage?"
1. "Hiya—!"
2. "You're not yu!"
3. "Whoa there."
4. "Mnnngh! Guards! Arrest this individual at once!"
1. Meep! Now I really do feel like the heroine in a romance game.
2. "That won't be happening on our watch!"
3. "No, mother."
4. "Was this your plot?!"
5. "Rod! Thane!"
6. "He told us to sit next to this girl to protect her."
7. "We were asked to do this by yu."
1. "Yu also said..."
2. "But he did state something about wanting to make a public statement."
3. "We didn't know fully what he was planning..."
4. "That he wished for you to hear what he has to say."
5. "Maybe we should pause dancing for a moment?"
6. "I don't know!"
7. "What's happening now?!"
8. "What in the world?!"
9. "Stopping in the middle of the ceremonial dance will only invite disaster!"
10. "W-we mustn't do that!"
1. "Please keep dancing until the end as we've practiced, ladies!"
2. It was a success, rae.
3. The only way to take it out of the church is to have two individuals who possess the rank of cardinal or higher seek permission.
4. The tears of the moon...
5. Is a magical tool which can undo curses.
1. "I apologize as I know you're on duty, but could you please give us the room?"
2. "You there."
3. AND MASTER YU WAS THE SECOND WHEN HE VISITED ON OFFICIAL DUTIES.
4. LILLY WAS THE FIRST.
5. "Thanks!"
6. "We need to discuss some matters regarding our engagement."
7. THIS ENTIRE PLOT WAS TO BE CARRIED OUT ON THE STAGE OF THE CEREMONIAL DANCE FOR THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.
1. Isn't that right?
2. Naturally, ralaire took on a human form which resembled yours truly.
3. We left ralaire with master yu in her chambers...
4. So that she could practice the dance with her.
5. So that rae and yu...
6. All that was left...
7. Was to use the disguise bracelets that cardinal lilly had prepared...
8. Could switch places!
1. "Stop that child!"
2. "Stop the dance this instant!"
3. There is no going back now.
4. With all of the people witnessing this...
5. Misha.
6. The rest is in your hands...
1. "Tell you!"
1. "I am deeply sorry for misleading you all!"
2. "I have something I must confess to the entire kingdom!"
3. "What is happening? Is this wind magic?"
4. "But I want to tell everyone..."
5. "Yu's so far away but I hear their voice so clearly!"
6. "Listen..."
7. "My people!"
1. "Im-possible!"
2. "Is this true...?!"
3. "That this is my true form!"
1. "Was a princess all along?!"
2. "Prince yu..."
3. "I wish to live out the rest of my days as my true self, the girl you see before you!"
4. "However, I will no longer lie to you, or to myself!"
5. "I have lived my life pretending to be a different gender!"
6. "In recompense for my years of deception..."
7. "I hereby abdicate my place in the line of succession!"
1. "What?!"
1. "I..."
2. "No...!"
3. "Forgive me for this..."
4. "Your Highness!"
5. "Slump"
6. "Your majesty!!"
7. "Ggh!"
8. "Sway..."
9. "Rae!"
10. "...!"
11. "Salas!"
12. "Take care of this!"
13. "Yes, sire!"
1. "This was your doing..."
2. "Rae taylor."
1. The next morning...
2. The third prince's scandal was on the lips of everyone in town.
3. "I heard it was all queen riche's doing."
4. "I never would have thought prince yu was actually a girl!"
5. "Women aren't allowed to ascend the throne in our kingdom."
6. "I understand how the queen must have felt."
7. "Huh? Wait a second."
8. "Even then, I feel terrible for yu."
9. "That's not what I heard."
1. "But had been struck with the crosswise curse."
2. "Master yu was originally a boy..."
3. "Furthermore, master yu acted wholly of his own accord."
4. "During which he dragged in those around him."
5. "The activation of the curse drove yu to madness..."
6. "Riche. This is how it will be."
7. "Well done."
8. "That is how we will announce this to the public."
1. "Why would you do this...?!"
2. "My yu!"
3. "Nooo!"
4. "Yu will officially be disinherited..."
5. "And sent to the convent."
6. "As for what to do with the criminal we have..."
7. "Next, salas?"
1. "Ridiculous."
2. "You look better than I expected."
1. "A-are you all right?!"
2. "What?!"
3. "I am!"
4. "I'm safe because everyone made sure to have their stories straight."
5. "I expected you would be sitting down here in defeat."
6. "Getting yourself captured and saying you acted as an accomplice..."
7. "Well, my food was poisoned."
8. "But you don't appear to be suffering, so I'm relieved you're all right."
9. "I have been running around endlessly for the past week!"
10. "I'm fine..."
11. "Since I have someone watching out for me."
1. I'm starving.
2. How many hours has it been since I last ate?
3. That there...
4. "?!"
5. "There's poison... in that soup."
6. "I see... that you're still a completely incorrigible idiot."
7. "There is?"
1. "How should I put this? Hmm..."
2. "But now I feel a bit better."
3. "Thanks!"
4. "I know the poisoner must have been someone from queen riche's camp!"
5. "I don't believe this!"
6. I think...
7. That was misaki.
8. Or it could have been a dream.
1. "Oh, please wait a moment, miss claire!"
2. "I need to petition the king to have you released at once!"
3. "Which is perfect, as I am to have an audience with his majesty right now!"
4. "Thank you very much..."
5. "For being my accomplice."
1. "And where is my thanks for being an accomplice, hmmm?"
2. "H-how cruel of you! I came with miss claire and everything!"
3. "I didn't know you were here!"
4. "You scared me, sister lilly!"
5. "You have no right to make such selfish de--"
6. "I will not allow it!"
7. "At least one to two dates, yes?"
8. "Surely I'm allowed to look forward to..."
9. "I had to navigate troublesome waters to help as well!"
10. "What?!"
1. "Was the one who snuck the tears of the moon out of the church, remember?"
2. "B-but I..."
3. "And I pacified stubborn factions within the church, too..."
4. "I assisted rae so that she wouldn't be caught by the guards while disguised as yu..."
5. "I-I also was the one who made the arrangements for madam yu to enter the convent."
6. "You are to protect rae should the occasion arise!"
7. "But I am leaving ralaire behind to watch!"
8. "I'll permit you to hold hands."
9. "P-please go easy on me."
10. "I'll be sure to think of a plan for our date, rae!"
11. "?!"
1. "I see..."
2. "She headed for the convent."
3. "After she moved out of the academy..."
4. "As for you-know-who..."
5. "Th- that's right!"
6. "A- also..."
7. "...!"
8. "She told me to give you this!"
1. "Do you believe that gender plays a role when it comes to love?"
2. "Sister lilly..."
3. "Oh, yeah, I guess that makes sense."
4. "If you were a man, I wouldn't be able to fall in love with you."
5. "I-I think...it does."
6. "Um... Well..."
7. "I personally feel the same way."
8. "There may be those who don't feel the same!"
9. "But..."
1. "It could be that there are forms of love out there..."
2. "Where as long as that person is who they are, then it's okay! You know?"
1. "What is that big black thing, mother?"
2. "It's called a confessional booth."
3. "Sinners step inside and confess the sins they have committed to God."
4. "Then, when all those sins are washed away..."
5. "you hear the voice of God and are forgiven."
1. "It is a place that is wholly unnecessary for you."
2. I CAN'T HEAR A THING...
1. "I was so comfortable sitting in here..."
2. "Forgive me!"
3. "That I overstayed my welcome."
4. "Oh...!"
5. "I'll be going then..."
6. What is your sin?
1. "Sin...?"
2. "My..."
3. The sin of involving my family and friends.
4. The sin of betraying the expectations of others...
5. There's the sin of making my mother cry...
6. "Is that I selfishly prioritized myself."
7. "My sin..."
1. "THIS IS A SIN THAT I SHOULD SHOULDER ON MY OWN."
2. "I THINK SO."
3. Is prioritizing yourself a sin?
4. REI...
1. "If you..."
2. This will be my answer one day.
3. I will not allow them to be alone...
4. This human being has been alone their entire life.
5. "Say that it is a sin to do so..."
6. Any longer.
7. "Then may I please help bear the burden of this sin with you?"
1. If it is for this person's sake...
2. Then, yes, I can throw it all away.
1. "Yes..."
2. "Take care... Misha."
1. "Rae taylor will become an officer of the secret service and report directly to me."
2. "Your majesty! With all due respect...!"
3. "What?!"
4. "She has a clever mind."
5. "It would be a shame to have her return to being a commoner."
6. "Therefore, as of today..."
1. "......"
2. Will use this desk or bed.
3. I can't believe that no one else...
4. How lonesome this is.
5. And suggest I move into this room.
6. I know that she would dare to tease me...
7. If misha were here...
8. Can I even do it properly?
9. I must tease myself now?
10. D-does this mean...
11. "Yes, yes."
12. "I'm certain we will work something out."
13. "I know it."
14. "All right. I'm counting on you, ralaire."
15. "You want to help me crack jokes?"
16. "Oh?!"
17. "Have you transformed into a miniature misha?"
1. "This is prince yu, your future fiancée."
2. "Lilly. Come and greet our guests."
3. "D-daddy...?"
4. "A-am I going to be engaged to a girl?"
1. The next month, when I saw prince yu on official duties...
2. He was sporting a much shorter hairstyle.
4. "Fifteen years of waiting all down the drain!"
5. "A member of the church in the royal family!"
6. "We may never again have a chance to instill..."
1. "Cardinal lilly. How are you planning..."
2. "To settle this raucous affair?"
3. "I don't believe that madam yu made the wrong decision!"
4. "I-I..."
5. "L-listen to me...!"
6. "What?!"
7. "Th-there was never much of a chance for master yu to ascend the throne...!"
8. "The prince who wields the most powerful influence among the people is the first prince!"
9. "I know you all understand the reality of the situation!"
1. If we allow this opportunity to escape us, we may lose our ability to gain influence within the government!
2. "Even if we were to take the throne..."
3. "The house of lords all belong to the first prince's faction!"
4. "A-as it currently stands, I have won the cooperation of the daughter of the minister of finance!"
5. "What do you know of the church's wishes?!"
6. "Proof of her allegiance to me lies in her performance of the ceremonial dance!"
7. "And instead work on increasing our own influence through building cooperative relationships with powerful nobles!"
8. "That is why I believe we should avoid power struggles for now..."
9. "Lady pope..."
10. If what she says is true...
11. "No."
12. "But, still..."
13. "Yes."
1. "We need to revisit our thoughts on the matter."
2. "Regarding the issue with madam yu..."
3. "This is the will of the pope."
4. "We will not press you any further regarding this issue."
5. "As such, cardinal lilly..."
6. "I'm making you do my dirty work, lilly."
7. "I'm so sorry."
8. "I-I'll say it as many times as I need to, but please don't worry about it!"
9. "I-I don't mind!"
1. "No, it's fine."
2. "Uhmmm!! Please don't take it as I hated being engaged to you!"
3. "Ack!"
4. "A-and you could say it being nullified is a godsend!"
5. "O-our engagement was something our parents decided..."
6. "When we were little, you said something to me."
7. ""If I must be married, then let it be to someone I love.""
8. "Well, you always were quick to express yourself!"
9. "I-I said something that cruel...?"
1. "Your hair is so pretty..."
2. "Y-you look very lovely with it like that!"
3. You...
4. Lilly...
5. "I-I think I've matured at least a little, no...?"
6. "Hmm?!"
7. "What does that mean?!"
8. "Haven't changed one bit, huh?"
2. Hello everyone, this is Inori. Thank you for purchasing volume eight of I'm in Love with the Villainess.
3. How do you feel after reading the entire volume? I always think to myself that the pages that Aonoshimo-sensei draws are always amazing, but I could really feel the sense of drama emanating from the pages of chapter 40. I offer my deepest thanks to the sensei and all of their assistants. Thank you so very much.
4. With that, the anime has been done for some time now, but when volume eight went on sale in Japan, a new, special promotional video was released. It's a fun one that features Lilly. She only had a brief moment in the anime, so I hope you'll check it out!
5. With the church Arc wrapping up, it's finally time to dive headfirst into the Palace Arc. There are special developments in store for the manga, so please look forward to it. See you again in volume nine!

8. "“Yu’s all I have left now.”"

1. "And had a ton delivered."
3. "Do I look good in this, misha?!"
4. "What do you think?!"
5. "Ah ha ha!"
6. "Thank you for always lending me your clothes!"
7. "Tee hee!"
8. "Yes, you look wonderful."
9. "Master yu, misha..."
10. "Are you two still awake?"
12. "Well..."
13. "But today's a bit of a surprise."
14. "I never knew you had frilly clothes like this, misha!"
15. "S-so I thought I would go for clothing that you might like..."
16. "T-tonight's the night of the full moon..."
