Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess

After watching Liselotte and Finne exchange their vows of sistership, we quietly saved the game.

Until we turned off the console, both of us were as silent as mice. But, the quiet that had descended upon Kobayashi-sans living room didnt last long.

Im so happy. Im so happy for theeeem!

Kobayashi cried that out as tears and mucus began to run down her face.

Im happy for them too. You really did well hanging in there through all that as well, Kobayashi-san.

I held out the tissue box I had handy as I said that.

Thanks! But gosh, really, that was so hard to bear! Can you imagine if I ruined that scene with my spluttering and sniffing!?

Whilst saying so, she vigorously tried to clean her face with a fistful of the tissues from the box.

As we had watched the two girls become sisters on the screen, Kobayashi-san had actually begun to cry even earlier than Finne did.

In a titanic struggle to fulfill her role as a commentator, she somehow managed to resist letting it show in her voice. That said, although her commentary had been voiced perfectly, her face really had been a mess through all that.

But, was it really that moving?

Am I just not a sensitive enough person?

As I expressed a bit of doubt, Kobayashi-san blew her nose strongly, before turning around to talk to me, still sniffling. Her eyes were red. Did she need some more time to cool down?

No, its just, how do I say it, its like their destinies have changed. Changed We changed it It just really hit me for the first time, I guess?

Now that she mentions it

We had changed the course of Finnes life in a way that definitely wasnt possible in the game and even had a impacted the future of a major noble house. It definitely felt like wed done something big for the first time.

Also, seeing Liselotte and Finne smiling together like that, for some reason, it makes me feel like

Kobayashi-san dabbed her eyes with another tissue. It seemed like the tears had started up again.

In the game, those two were rival characters.

Except for the reverse harem route, those two never really got along at all, much less become friends.

Instead, they often fought to the death. Either Finne or Liselotte would have to die for the other to survive. It was as if they were always destined to oppose each other.

But now, those two were so close that it was even making the Prince nervous. Thats definitely a great thing to see.

By the way, in the other routes, do you find out that Finne and Liselotte were cousins only after Liselotte dies?

Kobayashi-san nodded as I asked that, since I only vaguely recalled the details of the game outside of the reverse harem route.

Its only in the reverse harem route that Liselotte lives after the ancient witch is defeated that she ever finds out But, now that I think about it, isnt she taken in byFinnemamas former houseHouse of Marschner?

The Duke of Marschner, so impressed by Finne saving the world with her friends, takes both her and her mother into the Houses care. Its a short afternote in the epilogue of the reverse harem route.

It was in that way that the girl who was raised as a commoner became a princess beloved by all.], I think was the line.

But, now that we know more about the Duke and Duchess of Marschners true nature, that ending seems way sourer.

To haveThe Crown PrinceSiegward,The Marquis DaughterLiselotte,The Future MarquisBaldur,The Elite PriestArtur,The Genius MagicianShotaand The Scheming Teacher all completely charmed by a girl whos treated like a saviour, wont the country be in trouble?

Right? And if the key pieces of Finne and Finnemama are held by the Marschners

They could start a coup dtat, or even rule the country from the shadows.

Kobayashi-san didnt say it, but she was probably thinking the same thing I was. Her expression looked fierce.

The reverse harem ending really is a problem, just like I thought before.

Right.

Kobayashi agreed with the words I inadvertently muttered to myself. Looking at each other seriously, we nodded.

Reverse harems or fooling around with multiple people isnt good, after all. Nobody would find real happiness.

So, thats why I was like that earlier! Its even more moving knowing that now, right!?

Kobayashi-san asked me with a determined look on her face.

Yeah. I got it.

As I nodded, Kobayashi-san laughed happily.

Until now, I didnt really realize what it meant to be gods.

Its definitely true that Id grown really attached to those who lived in that other world and I wanted them to be happy. If I could, Id like to guide them down the direction that would lead to that.

As I felt something warm well up in me as I thought about those people in the other world, I saw Kobayashi-sans smile, and couldnt keep hold of my words.

Everyone over there, I was just thinking itd be great if they could all find happiness, right?

As she heard me say what was on my mind, Kobayashi-sans smile looked a little solemn as she gently nodded.

Right? I really think that too. Weve done really well so far but, until the end, lets keep doing our best, okay?

Then, Kobayashi-san extended that small hand of hers toward me.

The moment I grasped it, ah It really was worth spending my summer holidays here, thats what I thought.

Thats right! Lets go out and celebrate tomorrow!

Kobayashi-san suddenly said that, completely changing the serious mood from before.

To celebrate Liselotte and Finne become sisters, the two of us should go out somewhere! Well have a night off from the game!

Thats a date, right?

The two of us going out together like that, that has to be a date, right!?

Although Kobayashi-sans suggestion made me want to jump for joy, I managed to wrestle down that feeling and try and play it cool.

Ah, yeah, it would be good to get out occasionally, wouldnt it? The summer holidays are almost over, too.

The coming weekend would mark the end of the summer holidays.

Id been gone to hang out at Kobayashi-sans place almost every day, although I could barely remember what happened on the first few days since I was so nervous.

I was always thinking that it would be nice to go out somewhere with her though, even if it was just once.

Barely believing my luck that it actually seemed to be happening, obviously, I agreed to go.

Then its settled! Tomorrow, well go out!

Even though Kobayashi-sans words had me doing flips in my mind, all I did was give her a nod.

Nfufufu A date, huh?

I whispered that like a naughty kid.

Ah, jeez.

Honestly, I really love her.

But because Im an idiot, I couldnt say it. Where the hell are the words I need?
