Finally, the unparalleled knowledge of the original work begins...Eh? Unparalleled?

Chapter 11: She remembered the "Promise"! The Flames of Masochism Burn the Plots (Heroine Conquest Walkthrough!)

"...I'm not a devoted woman at all..."

"Serving Maria-ojou-sama was just a facade, a mere formality. In truth, I looked down on her."

"I felt pleasure and delight. Because she was unable to become family with either the Mistress or Tomoe-ojou-sama, Maria-ojou-sama can only clung to me."

"I'm a despicable woman, aren't I? I'm a terrible woman."

"Even the 'Promise' I made with her was made lightheartedly. That's why, I don't deserve your love..."

Promise...

Promise......

.....

.....

'Promise'?!!

(I remember now!!)

Maria, the perverted masochist, woke up in bed.

In her drowsy state, Maria recalled the scene in the original story where Igodome Kanaho, who becomes her personal maid, receives a confession from the protagonist in the route where she becomes the main heroine.

Maria suddenly became fully awake.

It was the morning after she lost consciousness, having supplied Tomoe with a thousand times the cheat-level magical power and revived the Phoenix Staff.

Maria began to ponder.

The 'Promise' that she and Kanaho exchanged.

That was a crucial destructive factor in the route of her impending ruin!

This reincarnated Maria's fundamental goal is to become the lover of the original protagonist, Kadomatsu Hirona, and after becoming deeply involved, to be violated and ruined by Kaima or other villainous male villains.

However, whether she can become lovers with the protagonist as she intends is uncertain.

Use your reincarnated life wisely, damn it!

She keeps it in mind that the other heroines who are potential love interests might also become lovers with the protagonist, and she must also consider the possibility of her own heartbreak and ruin.

Despite living a life consumed by desire and delusion, the fact that she thinks this way reveals she's a surprisingly cautious and prudent pervert in unexpected ways.

Even if she successfully becomes lovers with the protagonist, it would also be fine if she were NTR'd by a third third party, or attacked and ruined.

Conversely, one of the other heroines who are potential love interests could become romantically involved with the protagonist, and after thinking, "I was the one who liked Hirona-chan first!", Maria could also be attacked and ruined.

No matter how the romance between Maria and the Protagonist and the Heroines unfolds, it's a WIN-WIN-WIN situation.

As a masochist, her mental state is such that there's no matter the outcomes, she will be the one comes out victorious!

However, she has absolutely no intention of letting any corners slip through the preparations for that future.

Her long-desired life as a villainess must end in perfect, beautiful ruin...!

Maria is burning with such a pointless sense of mission.

Of course, no one reads her mind and asks, "What exactly is 'perfectly beautiful ruin'?"

"So you're betraying me too...?"

"You said you'd be by my side forever..."

Maria recalls the memorable line she's supposed to say in the route where Kanaho becomes the main heroine.

In the original story, Maria and Kanaho are master and servant with a physical relationship.

If the protagonist chooses Kanaho, it becomes a morally corrupt and betraying love affair.

Although Kanaho's body belongs to her mistress, Maria, her heart is stolen by the protagonist.

A psychological NTR!

What an incredibly skillful and super-technical betrayal...!

In addition to her enraptured state, the reincarnated Maria recalled Kanaho's feelings towards her in the original story.

Kanaho must have felt a strong protective instinct and a dark sense of superiority towards Maria, who was dependent on her.

At the same time, Maria also remembered Okumura-san, a female colleague from her previous life's exploitative company.

★

Okumura-san wasn't exactly beautiful, but she wasn't unattractive either.

She was cheerful at work and treated the masochistic man, Maria's previous life, very kindly outwardly.

However, the masochistic man's sense of masochism had keenly sensed Okumura-san's true nature.

Okumura-san had said,

"This guy stinks! He reeks of something worse than vomit!"

It makes him want her to spit out the words for real, that she possesses a vile, despicable, sadistic spirit─────!

The masochistic man's sense of masochistic perception was indeed correct.

One day, the masochistic man overheard a conversation between Okumura-san and other female employees in the break room at work.

"Okumura-san, why are you being so nice to that ugly, introverted guy?"

"Well, that ugly middle-aged guy is definitely a virgin, so he seems easy to manipulate, right? I thought I'd be nice to him to make it easier to assign him more work."

"Haha, how cunning! That fat guy will definitely misunderstand and fall in love with Okumura-san, you know?"

"It'll be fine, it'll be fine. I'm used to dealing with deluded idiots. I'll manipulate them well."

"Wow, this woman is the worst."

"Haha, you're going to get stabbed someday."

"When that happens, my boyfriend will protect me, so it's no problem. Also, I can beat up a loser like him in seconds though."

"That's awful (lol)."

And so on.

A typical weak man, upon hearing this kind of conversation, would be furious, but unable to resort to violence, he would be consumed by sadness and frustration, weeping alone in solitude.

However, in the case of our masochistic man, it was naturally different.

(I was treated kindly on the surface, yet despised and scorned behind my back...

Good...

VEEEERYYYY GOOD, OKUMURA-SAN!

It's great!!! You're the best!!!

I wasn't mistaken!! Ahhhh!!)

He was ecstatically praising Okumura-san's backbiting and deceptive tactics.

While overt hatred and insults are tasty, the insidious mockery and contemptuous scorn behind the scenes are also delicious, like a fine bottle of premium sake.

As a masochist, he welcomed all forms of masochistic abuse into himself, and thoroughly enjoyed them.

★

Just the thought of receiving the same level of psychological abuse from Kanaho, makes Reincarnated Maria incredibly excited.

Even though Kanaho obediently serves her, inwardly, she looks down on Maria.....

As her personal maid, it's inevitable that she'll spend every day by her side.

In other words, she's always there, constantly looking down on Maria.

(Always being looked down upon—isn't that the best?!)

For Maria, the character Kanaho is her Go-To character, who gives her daily contempt and the ultimate betrayal.

She's a heroine who offers double the pleasure in one bite.

Whether Maria and the protagonist's romance is fulfilled or not, Kanaho's existence will undoubtedly fill Maria's heart every day...!

Sniffling softly, the perverted little girl gets excited all by herself while lying in bed.

But then, she suddenly cooled down, her mood instantly sobering.

What Maria aims for in this life isn't a harem, but ruin immediately following a passionate romance with the protagonist.

To fulfill that long-held wish, becoming intimate with Kanaho would be extremely detrimental.

Despite appearances, Maria is pure and devoted fan.

Despite her outwardly beautiful, childlike appearance, and despite being a pervert with only lewd thoughts, Maria genuinely believes this.

However, if Kanaho were to fall in love with the protagonist, the "betrayal" that would be inflicted on Maria, the critical psychological damage, shouldn't that be kept under control?

No, it absolutely MUST be kept under her control first and foremost!

Speaking from a high school girl's common sense perspective!

She must make a promise with Kanaho as soon as possible!

(I can't just sit here doing nothing)

The perverted little girl thought, sitting up in bed and deep in thought.

However, if you looked at Maria objectively, without her doing anything, she just looked like she was sitting up, spaced out.

But Maria was desperately trying to remember.

(At what point, and in what circumstances, were we supposed to make that "Promise"?)

Yes, while Maria remembers the numerous H-scenes from the original game with vivid detail, her memories of the other scenes are completely vague and hazy.

With such a poor memory, HOW DARE SHE CALL "MY BELOVED FLOWER BLOOMS AT THE GATE" HER FAVORITE GAME?

Ahem!

Though she doesn't make a sound, she racks her brain, groaning and racking, but Maria simply cannot remember the crucial "Promise" scene.

(Well, I guess there's nothing I can do about it)

She thought, easily giving up, when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Maria-ojou-sama, are you awake? Pardon my intrusion."

A clear voice called out, and immediately the door opened, a girl with blue-violet hair bowed and entered the room.

The girl who had been occupying Maria's mind ever since she woke up was... Igodome Kanaho.

Maria and Kanaho's eyes met.

Kanaho seemed slightly surprised, but quickly returned to a calm expression, and bowed to Maria again.

".... So you're awake. Good morning. How are you feeling?"

Kanaho asked Maria in a calm tone.

In response, Maria thought to herself, "This girl is fourteen years old, you know. She's so mature," and returned a smile.

"Good morning. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

She gave a ladylike reply, using the gestures and expressions of her Elegance Cheat.

However, frankly speaking, Maria's physical condition was poor.

Even though she had received some magical power from Mima and Sougi, a thousand times the normal amount of cheat-level magical power had been taken out of her body.

It would still take a long time for her to fully recover, and in human terms, she was in a state similar to anemia.

But this reincarnated Maria, however, found a little discomfort like this to be just the beginning, a sweet, gentle sweetness.

She was definitely feeling unwell, but she even felt a strange sense of comfort!

A truly perverse masochistic side of her.

After answering Kanaho, Maria looked confused.

Kanaho's expression, upon hearing her answer, seemed to have frowned just a little.

(Huh? Did I do something wrong?)

Maria wondered if her short reply had offended her in some way.

(Well, whatever. Even if she hates me, that's fine too...

Oh, that's right! Since I'm already being hated, I might as well use the original setting as an excuse and just make the promise!

I don't know if I made the promise here, but I'll just go for it with sheer willpower and a sincere mind!)

She said to be quick to seize opportunities!

And so, Maria decided to force this situation, now alone with Kanaho for the first time, into a scenario for making the "Promise".

Rather than "swiftly seizing opportunities," she acted impulsively because she couldn't be bothered to think about it.

It wasn't a "premature start," but rather a complete "sudden rampage," but the emboldened pervert, unaware of this, began to plot how to secure the "Promise".

Our protagonist really only acts on impulse (^ω^;)

What will happen to Kanaho-chan!?
