1. ...and then, just as I remembered all the memories of my past life, the villainess system appeared.
2. The system instructed me to follow the original plot and assume the role of the character who bullied the heroine, becoming "Yvonne smollett", the rich and noble villainess.
3. "She" told me that the fate of a villainess always ended in death in this world, but if I were to follow her demands, I could change that preordained fate.
4. She also told me that as a villainess, I should do as I pleased. I should be avaricious and selfish, using whatever means were at my disposal. To that end, she needed me to become a real villainess.
Naglo-load…Naglo-load…
1. ...I had no desire to bully anyone, nor did I want to be a villainess. At first, I chose to ignore the system, thinking that by avoiding it I could free myself from the fate of a villainess.
2. But I was too naïve. The system soon demonstrated just how terrifying it could be.
3. Even now, I clearly remember what happened that day... My mother, who had already recovered her health, suddenly collapsed in front of me. She became bedridden and once again grew weak.
4. The adults around me were utterly panicked, while I was frozen in place, too fearful to move...
5. This was the system's punishment for my rebellion against my character's setting.
6. Each time I deviated from the behavior dictated by its mission, my family and I would inch closer to the fate set out in the original storyline.
1. ...faced with its threats and with no other choice, I began to truly play the part of the villainess from then on. I would complete the tasks assigned by the system.
2. Back then, I was in so much pain...
3. After all, I could never forgive myself for bullying others...!
4. And yet, I had no choice but to become the type of person I despised the most... A bully who used her power to oppress others!
5. I began to doubt myself and wondered if everything was just a dream. Perhaps I had been reborn in this world as a villainess as heaven's punishment for the sins of my past...
1. "I even thought that if I died, maybe it would all end."
2. "Evie..."
3. "And just when I believed nothing could change, you appeared, elsa."
4. "You probably don't remember, but it was when we first enrolled in middle school at the imperial academy in the capital..."
5. "Actually, according to the original storyline, you weren't supposed to start attending school there until high school. However, for some reason, you enrolled early."
6. "The system was sure to force me to do awful things to you after we met, since you are the heroine."
7. "I was extremely panicked when I saw your name on the enrollment register. I had no idea what to do, and so I decided to keep my distance from you and secretly observe you from a distance..."
8. "You really were like a stalker, evie..."
9. "Come on! I had no choice!"
1. "I saw the other noble students harassing you with mockery and ridicule. They were saying nasty things about you and saying stuff like you didn't belong here because of your background..."
2. "But you didn't back down or shrink away, attempt to placate them, or even show any hint of fear... Instead, you calmly and clearly told them..."
3. ""The worth of one's lineage comes from the accumulated honor and achievements of one's family. It does not give you the privilege to bully the weak."
4. ""If your words and actions today serve as proof of your 'nobility', then I am proud to be of 'humble' origins."
5. ""I don't believe being a commoner is anything to be ashamed about, because it has given me dignity and a conscience!"
6. "Besides, I was able to enroll due to my top scores in both the written and practical tests for magic. If anyone has an issue with me being here, you ought to take it up with the board of the academy.""
7. Now that I think of it, something like that did happen...
1. "I was deeply moved by your words. I, on the other hand, had resigned myself to my fate and willingly became the system's puppet. I felt so inferior..."
2. "I began to search for loopholes in the system through constant trial and error."
3. "As I reviewed my past missions, I noticed that the system's instructions were often ambiguous."
4. "The mission would be completed as long as the outcome matched what was set out in the instructions, regardless of the process or follow-up."
5. "Don't thank your bully!"
6. "Ah... So that's why you "Bullied" me so strangely."
1. "What else could it have been?"
2. "I thought it might have been your unique way of showing love, evie..."
3. You probably know what happened next.
4. That day, I defied the system's orders once again and saved you.
5. "Your ladyship?"
6. The system punished me as a result, and I was set on the exile storyline.
7. I do not regret a single thing. I'm happy that I made the right choice that day...
8. I was no longer helpless like before, but instead, I held your hand tightly.
1. "You always say that I saved you, but the one who was saved... Should really be me."
2. "Many times, when faced with your concern and doubts, I wondered if I should tell you everything, but I never mustered the courage...."
3. "After all, this body and face were not truly my own. The real me is just a fraudulent actor, a normal person who knows the game's plot."
4. "I was too selfish, and I was afraid that you'd be disappointed to know the real me... I hoped that you could keep loving the "Yvonne" who was perfect, instead of the cowardly and timid me."
1. "I'm sorry, elsa... I deceived you and took advantage of your feelings."
2. "I won't complain if you find that you can't accept all that's happened and want to end things..."
3. "...huh?"
4. "You're so ridiculous, evie. You said it wouldn't be that easy for me to get rid of you, and now you're saying stuff like this..."
5. "What would you do if I really did want to end things between us?"
1. "In that case, I..."
2. "You've said before, evie, that my future destined soulmate is waiting for me and will lead me to a happy ending. It's only because of those words that I, elsa dorothy, am who I am today."
3. "You have to take responsibility and let me believe."
4. "I will become a true heroine, and so, you must also truly become my destined soulmate, and that way, we'll witness that happy ending together."
5. "Okay?"
6. "...okay!"
1. "Since you're reincarnated, does that mean you're a lot older than you look?"
2. "Yeah... But I'm not that old."
3. "I was only nineteen when I died in my past life, and I didn't regain my memories until I was thirteen in this life..."
4. "I've only really had these memories back for about four years."
5. "Nineteen plus four... So you're around twenty three?"
6. "That sounds about right."
1. "I see... So that's why... Hehehe. I finally get it."
2. "...get what?"
3. "Is this why you've been so hesitant about doing sexy stuff with me, evie?"
4. "Wh-?!"
5. "Did you feel that there was an age and maturity gap between us? And your own conscience and morals made you turn down taking things further with me?"
6. "You didn't want to do things with me while I was unaware of the full picture and felt even more guilty. Is that right?"
7. "...you're right. That's exactly what I was thinking."
