Icl I'm literally about to go to bed so I'm relying on memory but ever since she showed up, hints of brainwashing which she was likely doing using the shard was being brought up.
For example when pink haired brother somehow assumed that Penelope was bullying Yvonne and picks a fight randomly evebthough he actually likes Penelope and if you want, you can read from when Yvonne enters the house for more I believe.
I don't blame you because of the rubbish translations tbh. But also Penelope's maid knew of Yvonne's maid from before and so due to her debt towards her, buying poison to then kill her master does not make sense and must've been done due to brainwashing as well. The change in her eyes compared to previous chapters matches both Derrick's and Pink haired brothers eyes from when they are in a dream-like or brainwashed state.
Wrote it in a rush coz sleepy but hope this helps ( ̄∇ ̄")
PS: This is all speculation as I haven't read the novel but I personally came to this conclusion and others seem to agree so if you read back and still don't think the same it's A-okay!
I may be wrong but this is what I have gathered through reading the chapters so far. So yeah don't think of it as a Spoiler as it could just be totally wrong anyway lmaooo
Not understanding because the translation is a bit off and english not being your first language is perfectly fine
I was only rude because of the attitude you had towards a real person, not because you didn't realize fictional characters were being hypnotized
From the beginning you couldve said, "I didn't know that, where was that?" or something of the sort, but you decided to respond with sass instead
and it's page 3 of ch. 145 to be exact but I can definitely see how it might be confusing
Hello as an observer I think it was when you said 'thanks for spoiling' it was obvious sarcasm which when said in this context can be seen as rude after the comic happened to establish the information provided to you as 'basic knowledge' which was introduced to the reader as far back as when kalisto vinsoo and pen were on the island together. Vinsoo reveals the mirror object was dangerous and Splits it apart (Penelope takes one part as an achievement for her quest). And at the same arc it was revealed that the masked woman was the long lost daughter of the dutchy light pink haired girl (forgot her name mb)
Then we see when Penelope visits her bodyguard and then leaves we see light pink haired girl try to brainwash him then complain that it didn't work cause the mirror was split in two (pen has the missing piece which will make it more powerful)
You see later on in the coming of age ceremony, reynold says that he thought pen was going to hit light pink haired girl so he stopped pen cause he saw it in a dream (I thought this was cause in the original game pen did hit her so it was like a revelation of what was supposed to happen but people are saying that the dream is also cause light pink haired girl, could go either way.)
Then it was when you had such short responses commonly reserved for people with an attitude. Therefore your two responses immediately imply you were being a 'bitch' therefore they reciprocated your implied tone
My advice is just to reread the story but only the chapters that have the good translations (I think azure scans was the translator of the good ones)
Cause if you missed this I bet there was a lot more you missed as well. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ super long comment but like i said there was so much to explain. Just reread the comic if this didn't make sense
I also think you might need to take a step back and see how your commenting cause even this comment sounds a bit rude to natives like us.
'Like what's wrong with that' especially
It means your not taking responsibility for the way you speak and your implying the problem is with us for making you seem like that.
You sound like such a joy to talk to ( ̄へ ̄)
Dear author...did you really think us reader will sympathize dickshit oops i mean derrick after seeing his pov? FUCK NO. He's shit through and through, he can go to hell together with that Yvonne bitch
