@There have a been a couple reincarnation romcoms lately that pull the rug out from underneath the readers. This one was thankfully a gradual slide into darker stuff, that one with the former villainess that just wants to be a baker pulled that rug out HARD.
two rounds of greedy pigs and a yandere. ugh.
That last one was so close! just half an hour sooner and she would have been free. Still would have had the true demon king to worry about, but that could be dealt with. Seriously though, there are some dumb fucks chomping at the bit to pick up that golden stupid ball and run aren't there. Especially that first king, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. You'd think that after all the times the hero shielded her from him, he'd maybe think that offing her might be a dumb idea. that he might have some attachment to her. That said, the fault for his greedy assumptions lies in whoever failed to mention that she was still needed to dispose of the demon lord's soul. Or maybe he didn't believe them.
Considering the warning the goddess gave, and the EXTREME SPIKE IN COMMENTS, I was expecting this to be a lot more graphic. I'm glad it wasn't.
