Chapter 34: The Villain has Arrived! It's ALL RIGHT! The Masochist Preparations are Complete!

Genkon's further erotic attacks were barely tolerated... I think?

Now, here's the punchline from Maria's perspective (^∀^;)

Chapter 34: The Villain has Arrived! It's ALL RIGHT! The Masochist Preparations are Complete!

Let's rewind time for a moment, change our perspective, and look back at the scene of Genkon's attack.

•

•

"Don't worry... she won't die so easily. You've trained her that much, haven't you, Sougi?

And what's wrong, Mima? Are you so shocked to see me that you can't even speak?"

Genkon mocked Mima in this way, laughing loudly.

(I'm not surprised, Genkon... no...)

Maria grinned inwardly, watching their exchange.

(I've been waiting, Genkon!!!)

At the long-awaited appearance of the long-desired villain role, Maria's mind was in a state of ecstatic frenzy.

Even though she was role-playing as a "Saint," if she were alone, she might have jumped for joy.

Maria's excitement was through the roof.

(Oh dear, I'm in trouble... Am I going to be kidnapped and subjected to all sorts of R18 things??

Maria is in a predicament, kyaaa~♡♡♡)

Inwardly, she was happily embarrassed and excited, her love's restraint running wild.

(But wasn't Grandpa Genkon supposed to come to me before I graduated from elementary school?

Why did he come before I even started elementary school? Well, it's fine if it's earlier than expected.)

Even though her heart was fluttering with excitement at the arrival of the male role, Maria wondered this.

She was puzzled.

That's right, originally, Genkon was supposed to contact Maria when she was in the fifth grade of Kikuchigami Academy Elementary School.

And it was supposed to be done secretly, when Maria was alone, so that no one else in Madozono's house would notice.

Why is this so different from the original story?

The answer lies in Maria's actions last November.

Yes, she saved the two girls who were part of the villainess Maria's entourage.

Imado Kaizo and Sunpu Eita, who were supposed to ruin the lives of these two girls, had deep ties to the secret magic society, "Nayuta no Hebi," led by Genkon.

These two were arrested one after another within a month, and all of their criminal activities were thwarted.

This dealt a significant blow to "Nayuta no Hebi."

"Nayuta no Hebi" had provided the two with substantial funds, and in return, they had obtained research results and children to use as pawns.

With all of that suddenly gone to waste, Genkon, the leader, had no choice but to take serious action to investigate the circumstances that led to their arrest.

As a result, thanks to the "foresight" of the "Saint" Madozono Maria, an investigation was initiated, and it was revealed that the two cases were solved.

Genkon harbored a certain apprehension.

The plan that the Nayuta no Hebi had been working on for many years was being thwarted by the Saint's foresight, and eventually, even the Nayuta no Hebi itself might be destroyed soon...

Knowing the terrifying nature of the Saint, Genkon harbored such concerns.

Genkon was, of course, aware of the existence of Maria, Mami's daughter, but for the time being, he intended to leave her alone.

Maria seemed to possess high magical power, but he wanted to wait and see until she grew further.

However, the arrest in November made him wary of Maria's existence, and the results of Maria's magical attribute appraisal ceremony in December made Genkon feel a sense of crisis.

A Saint with the power of Foresight, possessing the magical power of all four elemental attributes, plus the Light attribute, and the Holy attribute!  

For Genkon and the Nayuta no Hebi, who worship the god of Kaima, she is nothing less than their greatest threat.

Dealing with dangerous buds swiftly and decisively is the cautious nature of Genkon, who has lived for over a thousand years.

He intended to lie low for another ten years or so, but the appearance of the Saint cannot be ignored.

Besides, even though Maria is a Saint, she is still young.

This is an opportunity to win.

He will offer the Saint as a sacrifice to their God and place her under his control as the Dark Saint.

And then, he will once again enslave Mima, the current head of the Madozono family, and completely control the majority of the Exorcists from the shadows of the world...

The plan of the Nayuta no Hebi is simply being brought forward; the objective remains unchanged.

Thus, the attack on Madozono's house by the leader, Genkon, was carried out.

In short, the reason why this deviates so significantly from the original storyline can be explained concisely as follows:

It's all Maria's fault.

This single phrase sums it all up.

(Hmm, but...? At this rate, will Tomoe-chan get kidnapped too...?

Even though Tomoe-chan is a fervent masochist with extreme masochistic tendencies (※Maria's misunderstanding)

Grandpa Genkon's torment is still too much for Tomoe-chan!)

The scene where "fifth grader" and "loli" combine to form "enlightenment" is deleted from the main story, but Maria gets subjected to a 75-day ordeal by Genkon (※a euphemism), which is a traditional Japanese tentacle play.

(Doing something that HARD to Tomoe-chan out of the blue is a bit much, isn't it?

Hmm, I wouldn't recommend it to amateurs.)

Despite being the root of all evil, it's unclear whether Maria's actually concerned about Tomoe or not.

After some incomprehensible thinking, Maria finished with a nod to herself.

"“Wha—! Kyaaahhh!?!?! ♡♡♡♡♡♡""

Meanwhile, the scene changed, and Mima and Sougi were writhing in agony, their legs giving way, and they collapsed to the floor on their knees.

"Were you relieved after I lifted the curse of the 'Mark of Lust' back then? Heh heh, how naive...

I've planted my stigmata inside your lower abdomens. As insurance in case something happens, you see..."

(What?! What?! What is this?!)

Maria exclaimed in astonishment, and then Genkon inserted that explanatory line.

(Wow, so that's what was in the setting.)

Maria thought, hugging and protecting Tomoe, impressed by this new information, which wasn't in the reference book, as if it were someone else's problem.

Based on the newly acquired information and the current situation, Maria's brain's calculation function began to determine the most ideal path to her ruin, and started predictive calculations and simulations at the speed of light.

★

[Top Priority]: Ensuring the abduction of Maria (myself) and the safety of Tomoe-chan.

[Second Priority]: Ensuring the safety of Mima-nee-sama, the head maid, and the maid sisters.

[Currently Incapacitated]: Mima, Sougi, Kanaya

[Current Capable Combat Force]: Maria (myself), Kanaho

[Things to Avoid]: Defeating Grandpa, abduction of Tomoe-chan, death of Mima-nee-sama and three others.

[Calculation]: Grandpa Genkon can be defeated with a magic attack using Maria's Holy attribute magic.

However, this would prevent Maria (myself) from being abducted, so this is rejected!

Mima-nee-sama, the head maid, and Kanaya, are incapacitated. Kanaho is able to act, but due to the level difference, attacks without ability enhancement buffs should be considered completely ineffective.  

Grandpa Genkon, he's supposed to be in a state where he can only be active at night because he's been transformed into a "Living Corpse".

If Kanaho takes Tomoe-chan and leaves this place, there's a high probability that Tomoe-chan's safety will be ensured.

From Grandpa's statements, it's more likely that he'll continue to use Mima-nee-sama and the Head Maid as slaves rather than killing them.

Next, there's no way Kanaya will be killed immediately. In eroge terms, he wouldn't just kill a pretty girl without doing anything to her!

Therefore, after securing Maria (myself), considering the aforementioned time limit for the activity, it's expected that he'll leave Mima-nee-sama and the other two aside and head straight to the sealing location to revive the Absolute Chaos, Youshin.

Therefore, after confirming Kanaho and Tomoe-chan's departure, it's no problem if Grandpa kidnaps Maria (myself) without any worries!  

Calculation Complete!

Q.E.D! 

★

Based on these rough estimates, Maria was confident of victory.

Well, whether that constitutes victory or not is incomprehensible to anyone but Maria.

(Well then, shall we put on a little act?)

Maria thought, and she activated the 'Binding Chain' spell.

She effortlessly bound Genkon's limbs and torso with chains of light.

"That wasn't 'Nebula Storm Chain'... It was just a normal 'Binding Chain'."

Incidentally, Maria also added a line from the certain great Demon King during her exchange with Genkon.

By the way, Maria and Tomoe have never been taught any basic magic other than healing magic.

So why can Maria use 'Binding Chain' and 'Light Bullet'?

It was, fundamentally, the result of the perverse efforts of the reincarnated Maria.

For over six months, this Maria had been training almost daily in manipulating magical light to the point of exceeding her fainting limits.

Moreover, while her training appeared to be the repetition of normal magical light manipulation, it involved creating another, subtle stream of light within the magical light itself, and simultaneously and intricately manipulating it—a feat of extraordinary skill.

Even a first-class Exorcist would find it difficult, or rather, wouldn't even consider attempting it—a truly perverse and extreme form of training.

One day, after more than six months of such absurd training, a change occurred in Maria's eyes.

She could now read and understand the magical light she always saw, as its constituent elements and "information."

It was as if she could instantly scan barcodes on products or QR codes on advertisements with a camera.

Originally possessing high-spec abilities as a villainess, Madozono Maria's body, had undergone an extreme, almost perverse effort: continuously concentrating on the tiny particles of magical light within the magical light itself.

As a result, both of her eyes had transformed into Magic Eyes in just six months.

(Whoa LOL! Amazing LOL! Lukimister-sama LOL! You said there would be no perks LOL.

But you're so overprotective me LOL. Thanks though LOL)

Reincarnated Maria mistakenly believes that the ability, which wasn't in the original setting and seemed to have suddenly sprouted forth, is a reincarnation perk secretly bestowed upon her by the Goddess Lukimister.

It wasn't surprising that she would make that mistake.

It was November, when Maria accompanied Mima to the scene of an incident where two young girls were rescued.

She had been told to stay away until the culprit was apprehended because it was dangerous.

However, Maria secretly watched Mima use magic.

The magic spells were "Binding Chain" and "Light Bullet."

Maria, simply by looking at these two spells with her magic eyes, analyzed their structure and understood everything

In other words, she had completely mastered them.

Magic Copying Ability.

No, not just simply copying, but removing the structurally superfluous parts of the used magic, making functional improvements and enhancements, strengthening and amplifying it, and reconstructing it.

A terrifyingly overpowered Magic Eyes, which could be called a "Magic Learning Ability".

To put it bluntly, it was genuine Cheat.

(Woooohoaaaaaaaa!! Amazing!! It's overflowing!! This is it! That's what I'm talking about! Lukimister-sama banzai!! I love you so much!!)

Maria was astonished and amazed by the manifestation of such a ridiculously overpowered ability, but in her heart, she felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards the Goddess Lukimister.

Although she had said she didn't need any reincarnation perks, now that she could actually use them, she found them quite convenient, and so Maria was genuinely grateful.

Well, even if her gratitude had reached the Goddess Lukimister, she would probably have just recoiled, thinking, "Gross... what is that... how scary..."

Anyway, Maria used the magic she gained from her Magic Eye to restrain Genkon, immobilizing him.

Seeing this opportunity, Kanaho tried to attack, but Maria hastily stopped her.

"Kanaho! Don't go any closer!"

"Ojou-sama...!? Why! Now's our chance...!"

(Why? Well, he's the important rod-wielding character, so it would be terrible if he were killed.)

Unable to express her true feelings, Maria quickly and spurred on by saying something random.

"If you get too close to the range of his Power, you'll be taken hostage!"

It was all a lie, but Genkon, with a confident expression, taunted Kanaho.

It really seemed like the binding spell could be broken.

(Heh heh, this is a stroke of luck.)

Inwardly smirking, Maria played along, guiding the situation to let only Kanaho and Tomoe escape.

"Please, Nee-san... Protect my most precious little sister."

A cunningly effective line to Kanaho, who stubbornly opposed escaping with only Tomoe.

She succeeded brilliantly in getting the two to leave the scene.

All that remained was for her, Maria, to be taken away by Grandpa Genkon, and the mission would be complete.

However, since she was role-playing as a "Saint," she couldn't possibly do a two-panel scene of immediate corruption like, "Please, take me wherever you like ♡"

Although she desperately wanted to be abducted as soon as possible, there was no other choice, so Maria decided to continue her little act.

Therefore, Maria prepared a "Light Bullet" magic spell, condensing and filling her Holy attribute magic to the level of Sunshine, a spell overflowing with murderous intent.

(If I hit Grandpa with this, he'll definitely be blown to smithereens)

She thought, sweating profusely inside.

She continued her role-playing as a "Saint" until the very last moment.

(Come on, Grandpa!!! Hurry and take Mima-nee-sama hostage!?!?!?!

Hurry up!!! Don't blame me if you don't make it in time, dammit!!!)

Without showing even a trace of impatience, Maria adopted a demeanor that seemed to say, "I'm going to execute YOU in a cruel and brutal FATALITY now," and slowly began to prepare to finish off Genkon.

Just as Maria had intended, Genkon tried to force her to surrender by tormenting Mima and taking her hostage.

"Please... stop tormenting Mima-nee-sama.... please stop.... I beg you..."

In response, Maria, after much anguish, fully embodied the role of a Saintly figure accepting defeat.

She felt like a Princess Knight whose mother, the Queen, had been taken hostage by an evil pig-demon orc.

Even in defeat, she didn't forget to maintain her noble spirit, a "Damn it! Just kill me!" kind of role-playing.

Unaware of this, Genkon mocked and ridiculed Maria's childish display of pride.

He was unaware that everything was within the palm of the little girl's hand.

"...!!! Mima—....Okaa-sama!!!"

Finally, she calls her aunt Mima "Mother" for the first time and asks for her help.

By pretending to be a little girl, she meticulously makes Genkon believe that she, Maria, is completely the one being preyed upon.

(JUST!             AS!            I!           PLANNED!)

With her vision obscured by the black cloth Genkon had brought out, Maria was utterly satisfied that things were unfolding exactly as she had envisioned.

(Now all that's left is for Grandpa to give me the doujinshi-like treatment, ahaha ♡)

She thought, her pink fantasies fully unleashed, almost to the point of drooling.

Contrary to the seriousness of the situation, Maria's mind was in a state of high-energy, festive excitement at the arrival of her long-awaited doom flag.

★★★

This night would undoubtedly be a night of existential crisis for the Madozono family.

What kind of tide would this reincarnated Maria, this "Wild Card of Disruption," bring about?

If there were a God who governed fate, it would undoubtedly be at a loss for what to do, clutching its head in frustration, closing its eyes for the time being, and pretending not to have seen the situation.

AN:

"Maria, you really are... (serious face)"

But there's no doubt she's in trouble, so what's going to happen? (deadpan)
