Sure, Francis is a little out of character from what I remember, and he's derailed a crucial event, but it’s nothing this villainess can’t handle! For the sake of my faves—and more importantly, for the sake of the swimsuit event—I’m commencing Operation: Help the Brothers Reconcile!

What’s a girl to do when she’s reincarnated into her favorite game, and as the antagonist to boot? Simple—set the stage so that the loves of her life shine, of course! To ensure that the heroes will make the right decisions to save themselves and the world, I’m determined to play my role to perfection. There’s just a teensy problem—I may or may not have interfered in the life of my absolute number one fave, and he somehow ended up as my right-hand man for my schemes. How was I supposed to know that an impulsive choice from my childhood would cause such drastic changes to the story?!

Whoever said no rest for the wicked was onto something. After I fulfilled my villainess role marvelously, Albert and I fled to a resort town in anticipation of an upcoming in-game event. Upon our arrival, we ran into another one of my all-times faves—who has been forced to compete in an underground fighting ring dressed as a playboy bunny! Plus, this is way before she’s supposed to show up in the main storyline. The continuous changes to the narrative are kind of concerning, but no time to worry about that now—I’ve got a hero to save!

With the hero’s party and the Ordi family on standby, Operation: Destroy the Dirty Casino is a go! Except…something doesn’t seem right. It’s almost like another mastermind is pulling the strings, and if my hunch is correct, it’s a character who’s not supposed to show up in this particular connection story. I’ll have to figure out what the deal is with all these disparities later, though, because first things first—the prince has been kidnapped! I may not be a knight in shining armor, but this dashing young villainess is coming to his rescue!

This hilarious series provides a twist on the classic "reborn as a villlainess" trope, with a main character who works hard to make sure her favorite characters succeed!
