00:03Once upon a time, I wrote an epic story about a beautiful heroine.
00:09And like you might expect from a middle school author, I gave the main character my name.
00:13It was a fantasy adventure, full of love and magic.
00:19Kona-ha!
00:20What are you doing in here and don't lie and say you've been studying all day!
00:25It would be futile to spend this much time studying.
00:28Hard work won't guarantee I'll get to live the good life.
00:32But maybe magic will.
00:33Magic?
00:34Back then, I wasn't shakeably certain about one thing.
00:37I was convinced that I, Konoha Sato, would someday be summoned to another world.
00:42There's no way to know what I'll be called upon to start my new life,
00:45so I better leave a letter in this world while I still can, huh?
00:47Also, when I get there, I wonder what my backstory will be.
00:50I bet I'll be a beautiful young girl in love.
00:52I dreamed about it all day, every day.
00:54Writing to prepare for my inevitable adventure in that other world.
00:58It meant everything to me at that time in my life.
01:01Hello?
01:02Hey, Mom.
01:04Uh-huh.
01:05Yeah, just leaving work now.
01:07What?
01:07You found a notebook and a letter in my old closet?
01:10You don't even live here anymore.
01:11Is it okay if I get rid of it?
01:13Yeah, sure.
01:15Can't think of anything in there I would need.
01:17Really?
01:17Home right then.
01:18Talk to you later.
01:21That letter!
01:28Looking back on it, I can remember some of the details of that story.
01:32In a magical kingdom, there lived a count's daughter named Konoha.
01:36Yes, I named the heroine after myself.
01:38When a younger sister's potential fiancée, a dashing young man named Ginoford, comes to visit,
01:43she meets him by chance.
01:45For both of them, it's love at first sight.
01:48However, a certain someone stood in our spellbound hero's way.
01:52And that was Konoha's younger sister, Iyana.
01:56Iyana was known for being wicked through and through.
01:59She seethed with jealousy toward her sister and could find fault in anyone.
02:02A villainous to her core.
02:04Iyana will cause trouble.
02:06That was the reason Konoha and Ginoford weren't allowed to meet openly.
02:09And also why they couldn't announce their engagement.
02:12Even so, Konoha loved her younger sister.
02:15But Iyana was spiteful and harassed Konoha in every way she could think of,
02:19eventually threatening her life.
02:21A real backstabber.
02:25Oh, you finally found it?
02:27It certainly took you long enough.
02:29My deepest apologies.
02:30This is the book that will collapse the identity of whomever reads it.
02:34Yes, it's called The Dark History.
02:37Oh wow, I really did it.
02:39With this, I can finally get rid of my sister!
02:43No, don't read it, Lady Iyana!
02:50It's our son!
02:51It's our son!
02:53There's no way to know when I'll be called upon to start my new life,
02:56so I better leave a letter in this world while I still can!
02:59Dear Mom and Dad, I am no longer in this world!
03:01Don't worry, I'm fulfilling my destiny and going on a fantastical adventure!
03:05I wonder what my backstory will be like in the other world.
03:08I hope I keep the name Konoha, and I'm a beautiful young heroine in love!
03:14Character bios are super important, right?
03:21Now then, what kind of story will I create for all these different characters?
03:32Lady Iyana, stay awake!
03:36I found you, Iyana Magnolia!
03:38Let's see, I think I do remember this scene.
03:41You're under arrest for plotting to murder your sister, Konoha.
03:45Iyana, that name's familiar.
03:47She's the villainess in my old story, isn't she?
03:49I'm Konoha Sato, though, so why did he call me Iyana?
03:53That doesn't make sense.
03:54I was coming home from work, talking to my mom on the phone, when...
04:02You will remain in this cell and await your sentence, Iyana Magnolia.
04:07Vile villainess.
04:08It's the imprisonment plot, and he's referring to me as Iyana.
04:12There's no mistake.
04:14I've actually been reincarnated!
04:19IYana.
04:20Now, getting tired from the place.
04:22Huh?
04:24Where am I headed?
04:26This seems like anworldly man.
04:28Scared by the shadows
04:30Firmly weak to the form.
04:33And you see the chaos!
04:34Again, we will nuestraair, and we'll fly through it.
04:38Here, we turn li stör andnywith the pride there.
04:42So, with the kind of希望 I can feel it's only here
04:47In the dark of the future, we'll change the price
04:51Together we break the walls, we're gonna break the walls, we're gonna break the walls, making it true
04:55In the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark
05:01I had a dream that I met with my friends
05:05Heading to the light
05:07I'm about to kill my fears
05:11I'm over to the dark, in the dark, in the dark
05:14I'll never shine my fears
05:19I'm not in the fire
05:22Raise your black flame
05:27Raise your black flame
05:33I'm always to kill my fears
05:37Raise your black flame
05:41You know, get some afraid. Huh?
05:48The Dark History is just a stupid story that I made up back when I was a cringy teenager in
05:53middle school.
05:54The fantasy world I set it in revolves around a perfect heroine named Konoha,
05:58who saves the world whilst being protected by a harem of handsome men.
06:02And now I've been reincarnated into the heroine's number one enemy, her evil little sister, Iyana.
06:10Iyana! Are you all right? I was so worried when I heard the police had arrested you.
06:16Come, let's head home together, sister.
06:20This can't be Konoha! The character I wrote!
06:24You're not heard at all, I heard.
06:25Her voice is so nice, and she smells like headysuckle!
06:28She's totally real. I can't believe it!
06:31She's a literal angel!
06:34Konoha! Get away from that woman!
06:42It's him! The gorgeous hero, Dina Ford!
06:45Step aside, Konoha, and I'll end her plotting for good.
06:49I can't let you do that! She's the only little sister I have, Lord Dina Ford!
06:53Even so...
06:56This scheming wretch has spread baseless rumors throughout the estate to stir up trouble.
07:00She slipped money into your servant's hand to poison your drink.
07:03She snuck an assassin into your carriage at the ball.
07:05And now, she dares to use the dark history to destroy your sanity!
07:09And she's also the one who switched out your horse for an old cow!
07:12Oh man! I get top marks for creativity, but dang! Path Life Me was a real sadist!
07:18Every story needs a villainess to torment the heroine, right?
07:21Dina...
07:22Please understand, I dare not go on without you.
07:26Without you, without you...
07:28After the happy couple rubbed that in my face, Konoha argued that I shouldn't be held responsible in my current
07:33state.
07:34And I was sent to a remote territory owned by the Count's family where I was to remain under house
07:39confinement for three months.
07:40Thank you, sister!
07:42All hail the helpful heroine!
07:44This is the perfect chance for me to get acquainted with this world!
07:47I think Iyana's supposed to be killed during her house arrest by a man hired by the Count's family, though.
07:53Whoa! Hang on! That means I'm actually headed toward certain death!
07:58Konoha saved the man who's been hired to kill me from being sold into slavery when he was a little
08:02boy.
08:03He's been in love with her ever since and tries to protect her whenever he can.
08:08Lady Iyana, starting today, you will be spending the next three months here at this estate.
08:13You're free to go outside provided you remain on the grounds.
08:17Iyana scares them.
08:18We've prepared your chambers for you on the second floor.
08:21A trusted servant has been appointed from the Count's household to attend to any needs you may have, my lady.
08:28If you'll just come this way.
08:29No sign of a hitman so far.
08:32I do hope your stay will be comfortable.
08:34And I am here to ensure that it is.
08:36I am at your disposal, my lady, so please let me know if there is anything you require.
08:41You may call me Saul.
08:46It's him!
08:47Pop quiz!
08:48How stupid would you have to be to willingly live with your future murderer?
08:52You're gonna kill me soon, right? Move in with me!
08:55Answer!
08:56Extremely stupid!
08:57What's wrong, Lady Iyana?
08:58Like I tell a cold-blooded hitman!
09:01Are you feeling unwell?
09:04Whatever.
09:04Just please don't kill me!
09:06No.
09:07It's just...
09:08I'm...
09:09Pardon the intrusion, my lady.
09:11It seems the long journey must have worn you out.
09:13Why don't you take a seat?
09:15Shall I bring you something warm to sip on as well?
09:21Grants.
09:21Grants.
09:23Grants.
09:24Grants.
09:25I've been spared.
09:27Or have I?
09:29No, I haven't!
09:30If I want to survive the story, I have to remember the plot in perfect detail!
09:33This world doesn't have just humans, but also angels and demons!
09:36In order to use magic in the magical kingdoms...
09:38I wonder if I should put limits on the magic...
09:40Of ninjas, samurai, and wizards too!
09:41Well, maybe not samurai.
09:42I mean, the basic world building's one thing, but if I don't figure out what's going on, like right now,
09:46I'll be killed!
09:47Oh yeah!
09:47They only want to get rid of me because I'll hurt Konoha!
09:50So if I could just prove that I don't pose any threat to my sister...
09:55Right!
09:56Then huge relief!
09:57I shouldn't have to die!
09:58But I need to act back!
10:01Lady Iyana, is there something you need?
10:02Smile, I'm just thinking of writing a letter to my dear sister, that's all!
10:05Does he walk on his freaking tiptoes or what?
10:07A letter to Lady Konoha.
10:09So soon?
10:11Y-yes!
10:11Where's the knife?
10:12I arrived safely to the estate.
10:14Smile.
10:15Smile.
10:17Smile.
10:18Well, if that's the case, I will ready some stationery for you at once.
10:22I just need to make some smart moves so I don't freaking die here!
10:26Then I'll live life as Iyana, the normal daughter of a count, and I'll marry some stuffy proper novel and
10:32enjoy a peaceful, drama-free life!
10:34Iyana's going to live happily ever after!
10:36To do that...
10:39I've brought a nice stationery set for you, Lady Iyana.
10:41Smile.
10:42Thank you so much!
10:43I'll sit down now and pen a beautiful letter to her.
10:46If I want to live a peaceful life, the first thing I need to do is show that I approve
10:51of Ginobord and Konoha's marriage.
10:53Oh, then I have to apologize for all my transgressions, and I have to distance myself from the dark history!
10:57I basically have to rewrite the whole story!
11:00So she's writing a letter to Lady Konoha.
11:03She's got some nerve.
11:16That woman wrote her a letter?
11:18Yes.
11:21My heartfelt blessings on your marriage. What she's written will certainly please Konoha.
11:27Right. Do you think she means it?
11:30Not a chance.
11:33Do you really believe she could have had a change of heart now?
11:36She is truly a foolish woman if she thought that would work.
11:39Merely foolish? Is that what you think?
11:41What?
11:42The slightest hint of cruelty seems to excite her, and she has a remarkable instinct for it, too.
11:48We mustn't let our guard down.
11:50As I'm sure you would agree.
11:52That is why you ordered her assassination, after all.
11:55Is it not?
12:00My apologies, Lady Iana.
12:03Lady Konoha was away on a trip with your uncle, and as such, I was unable to obtain a reply
12:07to your letter.
12:09Huh? Our uncle? Did I ever write about an uncle? I don't remember him.
12:16You know, I think maybe I did.
12:19It was when Konoha rescued Sol from the slave market.
12:23I've fallen as far as anyone can fall.
12:26Are you sure you even want to save me? For all you know, I could be a ruthless killer.
12:31He was there with her!
12:33That's true. But you don't have to be a slave anymore.
12:35And then she delivered a classic best girl line!
12:38Sweet Sol, your hands are far too beautiful and delicate to be wasted on dirty work.
12:45Oh, uh, oops.
12:48What? How could you know that?
12:51Why did I blurt that out like an infecil?
12:53You know, I think I feel a bit of a chill in the air.
12:56To my chambers, I'm a scam!
13:01Is he suspicious of me now?
13:03Oh, here!
13:04Things aren't going so well.
13:06If I want to live, I need to remember things more clearly.
13:09What was it that Konoha and Ginoford were planning?
13:13The village fell completely silent.
13:15It was almost eerie how still Mother Nature was that night.
13:19But Konoha's uncle had always supported the happy couple,
13:22and provided safe spots for them to meet in secret.
13:25In fact, they were there now because of him.
13:27And so she entered the village.
13:30Not once did she suspect that her supportive uncle had set a trap to capture his sweet niece that very
13:36night.
13:38That's right!
13:39Technically, Iana's the enemy in the prologue, isn't she?
13:42And it makes sense for Chapter One to have its own villain, too.
13:45Her uncle had suffered unrequited love for the sister's mother in their youth.
13:50His only choice was to bottle his feelings up.
13:52But Konoha grew to look exactly like her, stirring twisted desires in him once again.
13:58So he lures his innocent niece to an abandoned village, wounds Ginoford, and tries to force himself on her.
14:05But the shock causes the magic hidden within Konoha to suddenly burst forth, and she defeats her uncle.
14:11To find a way to reawaken Ginoford, Konoha leaves on a journey, and she gets caught up in trouble all
14:17over the world.
14:18Wait! Our uncle is her biggest enemy? Hang on.
14:21Seoul said that she'd gone on a trip, right?
14:25Then...
14:26Are the two of them now on a path bound for cruel fate?
14:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
14:31I'm in mortal danger, so I should worry about myself first!
14:34I was so worried when I heard the police had arrested you!
14:38Come, let's head home together, sister.
14:40I can't let you do that! She's the only little sister I have, Lord Ginoford!
14:44But Konoha was worried about me, huh?
14:48Seriously!
14:50I need help!
14:53Someone send a messenger to the royal capital right now!
14:59They won't even look me in the eye!
15:02Someone, please!
15:03Lady Iana, what seems to be the problem here?
15:07Sol...
15:08Has somebody been disrespectful to you?
15:10No, that's not it!
15:11The other servants are all busy with their own duties.
15:14Please refrain from conducting yourself as you did in the capital.
15:18I said that's not...
15:19No, wait.
15:21Honestly, it's not exactly wrong.
15:24I thoughtlessly created this world.
15:27I'm trapped in my own dark history.
15:30Lady Iana?
15:35I...
15:38I just had no idea.
15:40How could I know that the imaginary world I created when I was young was actually real for the characters
15:46forced to live in it?
15:47And...
15:47I bear a heavy responsibility for my childish fantasies.
15:54But still...
15:55I can't look away from this now!
15:58Try and think of your favorite things!
16:00Donuts are yummy!
16:02Cop shows.
16:04Hey, me!
16:04It's no use!
16:05I can't even keep my fantasy straight now!
16:09I'm going to rescue Konoha and Ginaford myself!
16:12I need to stay focused!
16:13I won't stand by while such an angelic character gets hurt!
16:17Wow! Nelly!
16:20In Iana's backstory, she can ride a horse!
16:22And the real me is freaking terrifying!
16:25There, Konoha.
16:26That's the church.
16:28Incredible.
16:28I never knew about this place.
16:30The village was abandoned quite a long time ago.
16:33But I've been looking after it myself.
16:35Well, shall we go inside now?
16:37Yes.
16:38Oh, and I must ask that you leave your sword behind.
16:41Show some respect. A wedding is a sacred event, after all.
16:45I can make it!
16:46I have to!
16:47Deep down, I've always wanted to be like Konoha.
16:50A beautiful, kind girl who's universally loved and doted on!
16:53I was obsessed with giving her special powers
16:56and putting her through the most dramatic circumstances I could think of!
16:59But everything here feels so real.
17:02I don't want my fictional tragedy to become a reality for them!
17:05Die! She's mine, you brat!
17:08I'm 100% to blame for this twist!
17:12Iana!
17:12Iana!
17:13But it's not over!
17:14I'm going to rewrite it!
17:15Iana!
17:19Are you alright?
17:20I wish I'd been able to get here sooner!
17:22But why?
17:23What are you doing here, sister?
17:25We can talk more later!
17:26Have either of you been injured?
17:28No, I'm fine.
17:29I'm fine as well.
17:31I'm so glad I made it in time.
17:33That was close!
17:34Listen!
17:35The two of you need to get away from this place!
17:37Lord Ginaford!
17:38I am trusting you to look after my sister for me.
17:42Because right now...
17:44You're the only one for her.
17:47I'm so wiped out!
17:49Since I stopped our evil uncle's attack,
17:52things may not play out like in the dark history-
17:55Uh-oh!
17:59Yeah!
18:00That had to hurt!
18:02Should the daughter of a noble really be confronting a ruffian?
18:05How unbecoming of you, my lady.
18:09He's super dreamy.
18:12Focus, new me!
18:12Not now!
18:13Oh, I'm so...
18:14Where are you here?
18:15Hey, funny story.
18:16I've actually been following you ever since you left the manor.
18:19No way!
18:20What a sneaky little dude.
18:21To be honest,
18:22I never imagined things would turn out like this.
18:25The characters commit crimes just as they did in the story.
18:28I'm the one who wrote it,
18:30so this is my fault.
18:31It may be self-indulgent,
18:33but I should feel the weight of this.
18:41Iana.
18:43Did you know what your uncle was plotting to do?
18:48Excuse me?
18:49Did you know about your uncle's fixation on Konoha?
18:52Is that why you quietly tried to protect us?
18:54Uh-uh.
18:55My becoming Konoha's fiancé fueled the fire of your uncle's obsession.
18:59And that's why you opposed our marriage, isn't it?
19:03No, that's not it.
19:04That was totally me being a jerk, Mr. Ginaford.
19:07Just because I saved you doesn't mean I'm perfectly innocent.
19:09Geez, how naive are you?
19:11Right.
19:13I wonder if this means I was able to change the course of the dark history.
19:17I mean, I did save all of us.
19:19Konoha, and Ginaford, and even myself.
19:22Of course.
19:24Yay!
19:25Now I won't have to die!
19:27Perfectly normal life, here I come!
19:29Lady Iana, please allow me to express my gratitude.
19:32Alright!
19:32I owe much to Lady Konoha.
19:35If anyone had hurt her,
19:36I wouldn't have been able to keep myself from killing them.
19:43Well then, shall we head out now?
19:45This is bad!
19:47In the story, this incident causes Konoha's magic to awaken!
19:50And that allows her to escape the disasters that befall her later!
19:53But because I saved her, her powers haven't even been triggered!
19:57If something happens to Konoha and Soul suspects me,
19:59it'll kill me in a heartbeat!
20:01Oh, good grief!
20:03Must. Protect. Konoha!
20:11Being reincarnated into the wrong life is rough.
20:14There's some beautiful scenery coming up ahead.
20:16Oh, I beg your pardon.
20:18You wouldn't be interested in the landscape, would you, Lady?
20:22That's our row of weaving cherry trees, right?
20:24We had those in my old neighborhood.
20:26If those are the sacred mountains,
20:28then the Lily Kingdom must be over there!
20:30Amazing!
20:30Look at it all!
20:31Is this your first time in the Barbara Forest?
20:34Yes!
20:34The Barbara Forest of the Rose Kingdom!
20:36How cringe is that?
20:40I feel like I've forgotten something really important.
20:45Iana!
20:45I'm over here!
20:46Konoha!
20:47There's a place to climb up that way!
20:49Konoha invited me to look at flowers today.
20:52She's an absolute cutie!
20:53C-M-O-V-E!
20:55K!
20:56Give me a moment and I'll be right there!
20:58Iana!
20:59Let's go!
21:00Konoha's waiting on us!
21:02What? Lord Geenafort!
21:04The path gets a bit rough.
21:06Be careful!
21:09See?
21:10It's just as I told you.
21:12The ideal high-spec man!
21:14Why, Lady Iana,
21:16you mustn't cause any sort of trouble for Lord Geenafort.
21:19Oh, it's you!
21:20Please allow me to escort you the rest of the way.
21:22If you cannot walk on your own,
21:24I'll be happy to lend you a hand.
21:27Ass-ass baby!
21:28Ticko!
21:29Wow!
21:30Thank you so much!
21:32If Geenafort is the Fiery Knight,
21:34then Sol is the icy butler!
21:36Assassins can be pretty hot!
21:38Especially lone wolves like Sol!
21:39For Konoha's sake,
21:41he's playing the servant to keep an eye on me.
21:43There is no need for thanks.
21:45I am simply doing my duty.
21:47He is the manifestation of everything I desire in a man!
21:51He is kind of creepy and intense,
21:53but I'm super into his whole vibe!
21:55Guess you get what you deserve.
21:59But I've made up my mind now.
22:01I'll protect my big sister so that nothing bad happens to her!
22:04And that should mean that I'll stay alive too!
22:07This house is so cute!
22:59I hate you
23:40Thank you for watching!
23:42I'm Konoha Sato, recently reincarnated here as the villainess Iyana Magnolia.
23:46In a story I wrote, Iyana is a character who's meant to get killed.
23:49So when I look behind...
23:49Lady Iyana...
23:50AGAIN!
23:51Next time we will continue our little flower party.
23:53You heard him, everyone.
