In a monarchy, no matter how good the relationship is it would have been absolutely impossible for Riri to actually ask Ooma-sama out, and it would have been purely at the whim of the monarch himself. Unless she herself could be a candidate for a legitimate marriage, at best she might have ended up a consort and at worst, been executed for being a weakness/"handle" for others to use to manipulate the demon lord.

But that’s what I mean, all the negatives you listed could also have happened even if Ooma took the initiative first. Ooma taking the initiative shouldn't change their circumstances either.
Riri getting executed, kidnaped, killed, etc. to manipulate the demon lord would still happen even if Ooma confessed or asked her out first.
Neither she or Riri had to confess in front of everyone, they both could have confessed in private. So either of them could have done the first move.
I understand how monarchies works in real life, but this is a fictional story. Ooma is not the type of person who act like this

it would have been purely at the whim of the monarch himself

or do this

she might have ended up a consort.

But if we use how monarchies work in real life and assume Riri is not a marriage candidate, even if Ooma was straight forward with her attraction things would have ended similarly (in nothing)

What Riri implies is that if Ooma had taken the initiative, things would have progressed, meaning a relationship was possible. but if she was a “unfitted partner” since the beginning, Ooma taking the initiative wouldn’t change that, it was improper for both parties to make move.

Still, I am sure that this will be talked in future chapters, as we can see in a flashback that Riri was cautive and Ooma wanted to get her out

"You're cuter in the this form"

You know I think Riri might really be lying about her memories, but still to soon to be sure

So uh, I don't get why people keep saying Riri's a lolicon? Ooma is very much a adult trapped in the body of a child, and will eventually become an adult. She's got the same personality and memories of her prior life. It's not like an Avatar: The Last Airbender thing where the new reincarnation is a unique individual in and of themselves and has to grow up. This is basically somebody who got body swapped. Riri is not stupid and knows this.

There is no reason for her to treat Ooma as anything other than an adult, and she has been since she realized who Ooma is. She's being coy about it for reasons not 100% clear to the audience as of Chapter 3, but the last page mentioning some other dude is a big clue as to why.

...Imagine the twist if she actually doesn't remember their past lives, and is instead just playing along with what she thinks are goofy chuuni tropes. (Not that I think that's the case, but it could make for a funny 4koma extra where she goes full chuuni. Always hilarious to see a grown adult go full chuuni.)

Guy gets sent to Yuri Purgatory to be purified of his romance manga sins.
At least she’s eager to learn from his mistakes.
Looking forward to seeing Riri’s motivations unfold.

tragic twist!!! ooma is just a chuunibyou and riri is a regular old groomer

Who is "him"? Not a rival right? Most likely someone from the past as well

Most likely the only other guy who was introduced in this chapter.

lmaoo hell nah

Yeah, definitely the other guy. Boo, hiss, boooring.

I'm still unsure about this one, i need to know more about Riri's intentions (maybe the suspicious dude can help)
BUT, everyone is really cute
Go go Ooma-sama !

Lol it is him. I'm going with someone's guess that he wants to bring back the Demon Lord.

Ooma looks adorable in her date clothes. Ngl I half expected her weird friend to try and ruin her date because she's in love with her but she supported her and helped with clothes love her haha.

Also great the him from before Is magically here after all huh? So much for a successful date I assume.

Also I love how every time it goes back in the past Riri is throwing out hints to him but he's the densest most oblivious person in existence lol.

Thanks for the translate and upload of another chapter of this.

you know there is a certain point at which the sheer passivity of Ooma in her previous life as a man starts becoming really strong subtext for a transfem reading lmao.

like yes she's got her second chance now and is taking it knowing she's not getting a third and was already lucky to get this second one. But also her being made to dress up thinking back to how as a man she just wore the single formal outfit she had and is now for being called cute finally waking up to "wait it can be nice to dress up???" is such strong subtext it's great.

and is it not the transfem dream to be reborn as a cute girl and date a beautiful older woman?

If only everyone had a best friend to lend them cute clothes. What a wing girl! :3

Especially if she's taller and can bridal carry me...

I'm guessing that the guy won't be a romantic rival, but maybe wants the ooma to come back into the fold as a demon lord?

Ch. 4 p. 6 first panel: "But this since this is a [...]" should either lose the first "this" or lacks punctuation.

Edit: Guess my post #1000 is complaining about minor mistakes again. sigh

My mouth dropped when I see Ooma's date clothes. Holy damn. When Yuuka said she was gonna dress her up cutely, she wasn't lying.

Hard to tell yet, but the face shape and strands of hair of "him" could match Zai. If that's the case, it would be interesting to see what role a former retainer will play (hopefully an interesting one...).

I doubt this’ll be the case — given that the title is Riri Revenge — but it would very funny if she’s the only one of the reincarnates who doesn’t remember her past life. She’s just met enough of the others to get the gist of what things were like. Especially since their mutual crush was obvious to anyone with functional eyes.

I subscribe to the theory that someone else may have posted here that only Oouma reincarnated. The rest like Riri and potentially Zai just traveled to look for the Demon Lord.

Also I love how every time it goes back in the past Riri is throwing out hints to him but he's the densest most oblivious person in existence lol.

Eh. I don' tthink that's quite right. Even in the first chapter, Ooma outright says that they were "probably in love with each other". Her problem is that they never actually vocalized it to each other or acted on those feelings. From what we've seen, even if he missed some of Riri's attempts at flirting, what actually held him up were his own feelings of inadequacy and obligation.

Put another way, they weren't dense or oblivious, they were just too stuck in their own head.

Yes, this truly is Fixing Past Life's Mistakes - The Series.

Yeah chapter 2 makes it really clear with "please wait until I've freed you, become demon lord, made peace with humankind" For Ooma it was all about measuring up to Riri and never actually just being together right fucking now and now she's out of excuses because wait any longer and she'll be dead again.
