"The Villainess Wants to Take Down the Wicked!" Second Half

Okay then, Ushiwakamaru and I will stop by the other clubs and say hello.

Ibaraki, you handle the sales counter, all right?

Leave it to me! All I have to do is sell the book, right? Couldn't be easier.

...All right, he should be showing up any moment now.

I! Am! Here!

Here's your book.

And here's your change. Now scram.

That's it!?

Your shtick's gotten freakin' old.

?

How can it be old when this is your very first ServantFes?

...Oh, right. Well, whatever. First or not, I'm still sick of you.

Hmm, is that so? Oh well!

All right then, let's see what you've got!

This may be the current hotness, but I see you've really got a handle on the classics.

...That said, I also see that you're going with the whole "both sides are evil" angle for your story...

And why is the long-haired professor the one suffering the brunt of the consequences?

So this spread in the last battle, it's exciting to read and all, but I don't understand why they're settling their differences as giant pro wrestlers in the Grand Canyon.

I see a missile has also been fired from...Las Vegas?

Look, that's just how it went, okay? An alien shows up at the end too.

Aha, now I see. You got into the lobster, didn't you?

... ...Dammit.

(I feel a headache coming on. The signs point to this drawn to me as per standard in the magecraft world.)

At any rate, I'll take a copy, please.

Go on then, take it!

By the way, is something wrong, scrawny? You don't look so hot.

I know how this sounds, but I feel as though I have to buy this book if I am to avoid a most terrible fate.

Besides, once you're familiar with the patterns something follows, it becomes easier to react properly when the time comes, right?

Hahaha! This may not mean much coming from me, since all I did was the backgrounds, but there's no way something this terrifying could happen in real life!

For some reason, buying this book feels like it'll help me steel myself...

?

Uh, I don't really know what that's about, but I'm glad our book's helping you out!

？！

Hey guys! How's it going? Sure is hot in here, isn't it?

Anyway, I came to pick up your book now that the photo ops in the plaza are on break!

Fujimaru, would you mind handling her?

...I get the feeling nothing good can come of me and that goddess being anywhere near each other.

Great, thanks!

Would you quit putting me in that category already!?

Ooh, I know what a tsundere is!

It's a cross between tsunami and derriere, right?

...I'll tell you when you're older.

？！

So this is it, huh? Let's take a look... Huh... Hmm...

This is good! I didn't know Japanese storytelling favored stories of reincarnation!

But I don't get why you made this chick in the blue dress the main character. I mean, in the end, she just resolves things with brute force, right?

If you were going for a story about intelligence, mind games, and romance, you should've focused on this chick in the red dress.

In fact, you should change that right now, unless you want to feel the wrath of a divine curse.

？！

Well, that aside, I still like it. At least, this body seems to be really happy with it.

I guess this is what homesickness feels like. Once humanity is all back how it should be, I'll take you to visit my hometown as a reward.

Argh, we came so close...!

We sold a lot, but not quite enough to take first place...

Still, I'm pretty sure we're going in the right direction now. All we gotta do is stay the course!

Yay! This means I get another week to have fun!

I was kinda hoping you would help us out again...
