I am guessing the correct way to deal with the curse and solve the time travel plot is for Elsa and Yvonne to split the curse between them.

Share the neural load, so to speak. I'm pretty sure the two of them are drift compatible...

I never knew how badly I wanted a Pacific Rim-Please Bully Me Miss Villainess crossover until today.

I mean, if Elsa and Yvonne got into a Jaeger, it would solve their endless demon army problem in the present.

I’m actually wondering if the Villainess System is the curse’s attempt to make itself whole after being split between the two. Remember Chapter 1, where a “mare” is trying to pull Else off a building while the Villainess system tells Yvonne to either push her or watch her jump? Maybe the whole point of the Villainess System is to either get one of the girls killed or trying to accelerate its progression in one or both of them (maybe misery can speed up the curses’s progression)? After all, if they do both possess the curse, and one of them dies or enter the eternal slumber before having any heirs of their own, the other girl would likely be the one to inherit the rest of the curse. Maybe the curse even realizes that Yvonne has been isekai’d into that role, and is choosing to present itself as a gamified system specifically to trick her into complying? I don’t know, but I’m interested in seeing where this is going

I feel like this theory is better than the conclusion we're actually going to get, haha.
Sorry, author, I don't quite trust you to pull all these timetravel shenanigans together that nicely.

what if they share the curse... and beat it through the power of.... sapphic love bum bum bummmmmmmm

sorry I literally have no thoughts anymore HAHAHA

Elsa learned to be clever and ruthless at a very early age.

What I can't figure out is if this happened in the previous worldline or not... what is Evie actually changing in this excursion?

Lol, lmao even. It's starting to look like the villainess system really was Elsa being cursed rather than Yvonne directly.

Yeah that's what I thought too. It would make sense but we'll see!

The speculation about the curse manifesting as the villainous system sounds like it should make sense, but from what I understand, all the curse actually does, while you're still alive, is sap your vitality. How would it go from that to something WAY more active, like the system we saw at the start of the series?

Like the full curse basically constantly urges a person to give in to their worst impulses, and that's the reason why when it latches onto demonlords that's like world ending levels of bad. But the curse that they have is a small fragment that leaked out when the sage's body was stolen and thus the seal that her body was holding broke for a moment.

So there's precedence for the curse to do more than just sap vitality.

Why is this chapter so short?

Once again Yvonne is reminded that she is not the player character, but merely a love interest. :-)

Is that a new cover ? It's criminally cute.

Came here to say this as well. ^_^

my first yuri!!

Ngl im kinda over seeing this "im gonna bear the curse for you" shit again. Id appretiate some series going into living and doing well for others for once rather than just always suffering for them

I mean, I do understand that people don't want to read that kind of stories, but this is kind of the premise of the whole story, Yvonne suffering for the sake of Elsa. This is reversed this time, but I guess this was never a story for you in the first place.

I still wish they could have shared the curse. They are both bearing so much on their own for the sake of each other. But I'm pretty much sure they'll find their way through that one as well :)

It's also almost impossible to make a compelling story where the heroine goes "I will let you bear this suffering and enjoy my life even if I could do otherwise". In a cynical or anti-hero story, sure, that might work, or in a dramatic one that sells to its readers that lives are not equal... But as long as you are among characters of "traditional goodness", it's unlikely that they will let the ones they love suffer without acting - even when the only possible action only results in tilting the scales the other way.

Edit : Also the premise of the story is that Yvonne had to bear the punishment of the Villainess System because she didn't want Elsa to suffer. I find some obvious similitude between the two.

Nice

the color palette used to represent the curse is identical (or nearly identical) to the one used to represent the Villainess System textboxes... if my earlier theory was correct and the VS was connected to the curse, these events could have some really weird consequences

Good job resisting the curse.

And such an adorable ending to the chapter. ^_^

Our heroines got together and made out in chapter 57, with implied oral in bonus 57.5 (presumably set vaguely in the future). By 62 or 63 the time travel had happened, and we're at chapter 83 now. So the time arc has lasted for nearly 1/4 of the total run of the comic.

So... What's next? There's a lot more going on in this time travel arc than I expected...

I hate seeing the little peanuts in distress.

There isn't really a good or bad answer to Linda's excuse. Relying on a trustworthy prophecy to get the best outcome for everyone isn't a bad thing, but at the same time, choosing to trust a prophecy that claims a child must bear a burden (which is a literal torture) for the sake of others is never not irresponsible. Guess we just have to accept that she made her decision, anyway.

Looks like we're starting to head towards the end of the time travel part... I wonder if the issue has been resolved ? I assume the curse itself is still to be taken care of, but did Elsa taking on the curse was the solution to mitigate its power and prevent the demon attack ?

That they'd have to be separated was obvious, otherwise the timeline would be messed up. I'm not particularly seeing in a good eye the whole "You pretty much sacrificed your life for my family, but now you're a liability, so take this money and leave". Nobles gonna be nobles, and well, that guy already has a bad ending in store for himself, anyway.

TL;DR Adults suck, Evie's job is done, Elsa still unlucky.

And now we have the answer to why they only met again in school.

tbh, might just be me. but it feels like this story is kinda bad at lore long term. with all the random stuff that happen and been dropped a few chapters later. But I also dont know what I wanna see instead, maybe just some girls being gay? dunno really
