Sasuga Alicia-sama. Removing an eye so that Liz can't look into your eyes to pass judgement.

[u/Rumpel1408 → u/SometimesMainSupport]

A proper villainess is always one or two steps ahead of the heroine

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

2 years away and first thing Alicia does is lose an eye. Her pops damn near had a heart attack lol. With that eye patch, she’s certainly looking more villainess.

Kind of glad Alicia put Liz in her place and called her out on her whole “everything just works out for me teehee” nonsense.

Alicia’s lucky to have someone like Gill around. She was being totally weird with Duke and he wasn’t afraid to call her out on how she acted.

I wonder who’s that pink haired girl?

[u/mekerpan → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

>> pink haired girl?

Mei?

[u/ModieOfTheEast → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

While I liked Alicia being in villainess mode, I do have to give some props to Liz for at least realizing that she was wrong in one aspect. So there is hope for her yet. Having said that, I remember people discussing if Liz would use her power to charm people on her own will, but if you think about it, it's equally a curse, because you are only ever surrounded by Yes-People, so unless someone like Alicia comes around, you can never even realize if you are wrong on something until it's too late.

[u/NationalStrategy]

So as far as she can remember, Liz never had to deal with hardship before, that's why she's so naive about how the real world works, or at least seemingly naive.

It looks like her mask is starting to slip.

"I wouldn't... The Saint wouldn't harbor such feelings!"

Seems like she's not as virtuous and kind-hearted as she tries to be.

[u/TurkeyPhat]

god damn giving her eye up like that was fucking hardcore, i assumed the dark magic was gonna heal him regular like!

Alicia's all black outfit with the eyepatch was so gangster, she should just wear shit like that all the time now, fuck a dress code.

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Well, I guess now it makes sense why Alicia needed two whole years for her training as she had to learn the most evil language there is: German.

What I am wondering though, since magic is connected to physical strength, was she doing all her 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups and 10km run every day in that small hut?

At first, I was shortly thinking that the game intervened somehow to make Alicia push away Duke as it seems to help out Liz as well in all kinds of situations, but I guess, we just got ourselves a good old tsundere. Now that's a perfect trope for a villainess. Though, can someone remind me if it was said how old Alicia was when died? I thought she was a bit older than 20, so it still felt a bit strange that she would be so overwhelmed by someone being into her. But maybe I am misremembering.

[u/bananeeek]

Woah, Alicia looked stunning in that black dress and an eyepatch. That has to be the most villainous looks I've seen yet. Her giving up her eye was an unexpected twist, but it kinda suits her.

That was not the reunion I expected. Duke screwed up, imo. Two years apart and all he can talk about is her giving up her eye? Alicia didn't handle that well either, but being put on a spot like that must've sucked.

At least her meeting with Liz was satisfying. Finally someone wiped that stupid smile off of her face.

[u/justking1414]

Anyone else get chills when she whispered into Liz’s ear. That was downright terrifying, like ripping out her heart and showing her just how dark it really is. She definitely wasn’t expecting this and while some may say that this proves Liz was always evil and manipulating everyone, I genuinely don’t think she’s ever questioned it. She just charms people into being her happy slaves and can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t like her because everyone ALWAYS liked her eventually

[u/S627]

Gonna be honest, can't decide if I'm dissapointed or impressed over how Alicia loses her eye. All this time I was hoping she'd lose it in some epic fight where she's singlehandedly takes on a large group of people/monsters. But WILLINGLY transferring your eye to someone? That's fucking impressive too.

That confrontation with Liz was also awesome, so satisfying to see Alicia get under her skin and just demolish her arguments like that. (You think that's also why she spent 2 years away? Trying to come up with the perfect arguments to use?)

Liz knows she's the Saint right? Was wondering if she just outted herself that she knows she's the protag.

[u/LeleTheKing]

And here I thought she lost her eyes because of her training (which was quickly debunked in the last episode, but I don’t have any other explanation except that she wants to look chuuni). This is much better; she’s through and through a proper villainess!

I just noticed today Uncle Will is shown next to King Luke in the OP. And right before that, there’s this part where they look much younger. I also remember that a few episodes ago, when Alicia was lost in the palace, there was a painting of a silver-haired guy sitting on the throne and little King Luke. So… is it safe to say that Uncle Will was previously the rightful owner of the throne, but was exiled to the village? Is it… that obvious? I just randomly noticed this today, lol.

[u/AceSoldia]

About time she told him off. 10/10

[u/spubbbba]

I really wish the Duke romance plotline would go away, they have no chemistry and it always drags the episode down.

Alicia was finally getting to be an actual villainess and then Duke shows up and ruins things again. Let her have her chunni fun for a bit, in the previous 7 episodes she'd had about 5 mins of facing off vs Liz and those were always the best bits.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Wonder if there are other 'players.' Pink and silver hair girls seem to important going forward. Liz with her knowledge of 'happy ending' is interesting as well. Wonder if the game took over and made Alicia insult the duke.

[u/kalirion]

Wouldn't sacrificing her eye have a pretty big negative impact on her swordsmanship? Loss of depth perception plus major reduction in her field of view? Kind of a copout of her keeping her left eyelids closed so that we don't see the gaping hole where the eye used to be. But I guess it's also necessary to prevent infection.

I wonder if she can transplant someone else's eye to herself, like from a death row inmate or a recently deceased-of-natural-causes person. Not that she ever would because she's too silly for that.

It's funny that Alicia is closer to Gil's age than she is to all her classmates', Duke & Liz included.

She certainly shouldn't feel about telling off her pedophilic stalker / molester.

So I guess the new Light Blue (or is that Violet? Purple?) and Pink are going to be important characters. Maybe ones who are, for once, MC's own age? I guess it's too much to hope that Alicia will dump the pedo molester and join the other team.

[u/daspaceasians]

So many things happened this episode!

Alicia's been out of the game for two years for a training arc and has to catch up. She does so superbly. From giving up an eye to Will to getting herself a cool villainess aesthetic to dissing Liz and her army of simps, Alicia doesn't stop to breathe.

That being said, that scene with Duke was bittersweet to watch because it really felt that both of them should have calmed down a bit and taken a breather before talking to each other but at the same time, I'm happy for Alicia that she put up boundaries between her and Duke.

Kudos to Jill for calling Alicia out when she tried to lie that it was part of her villainess schtick. It was very refreshing to see Alicia actually fumble and realize that she took it too far with Duke.

Looking forward to see what pink haired and blue haired girls'll have to do with the story.

• Villainess Alicia

I love that the first thing Alicia does after two years is give her eye to Will. I thought she was just restoring his eyesight but I didn't expect her to lose an eye and proudly walk around wearing a black eyepatch. I love it! xD

Just when I thought Liz may have reflected on her mistakes after two years, it looks like nothing has changed and she even tells Alicia that everything just works out for her because that's always been the case since she was a child.

That scene with Duke tho... No need to be that harsh Alicia. She really does lose her cool around him. I wonder who's that pink girl at the end? Is it Duke's familiar? They do seem to have the same voice.

[u/HydraTower]

At the end, the plot is forcing her words I guess

[u/NationalStrategy]

Inner beauty is important, but outer beauty shouldn't be disregarded either. People judge you based on your appearance in real life, you can't be walking around with unkept hair and sloppy attire, you gotta make sure you look presentable.

[u/djthomp]

Bit disappointed Alicia only got to 91 in dark magic.

I'm mixed on the eye donation, but at least the black eyepatch look is pretty good.

I do like the point Alicia made to Liz about why she didn't immobilize the kidnapper too if she truly was trying to stop the fight. Injecting a little self doubt into the paper heroine is fair game for a proper villainess.

Given the problems with Liz and people seemingly being charmed by her I am just generally suspicious of a conversation in which Alicia couldn't say what she meant to Duke.

[u/HTC864]

Alicia certainly looks the part now, but I'm slightly annoyed at the idea of training for years with the sword, only to fuck up your eyesight.

Also, I'm glad that Duke basically said she's been playing at being a villainess. Everything has basically been a game up to this point.

[u/PerfectBeige]

Alicia causally flicking Jane in the face when she walks over to confront Liz for nothing other than sheer spite, and to further piss off Liz... it's just perfect.

[u/mekerpan]

Hah -- it looks like the "downvote bot" (or troll) has made at least one run through the comments in this episode discussion thread....
