[setting up memshare stuff set me back so much today help]
I would as well. It may be some time before we can find such a thing, but... I plan to keep looking. I don't intend to just stand there and watch, week after week.

[ Attempted murder and family drama are her everyday back home. It's as normal as the grass is gree and the sky is blue to her.
Roxana, an iseki who doesn't want it to be too obvious that she's an isekai, wonders how she should go about asking this. ]
I'm glad you got a second chance at life to fix things [ and get revenge ], but how...?

To be honest... I'm really not sure.
[she frowns slightly, settling her hands on her lap.]
I'd never heard of such things happening before I died, and... I've never heard of anyone who's done something like that since.

It's not something I've heard of either. A second chance is miracle enough.
[ but what if you need a third? ]
[ but what if you need a third? ]
I can't really afford to question it. I'm... alive only because it happened.
It is what you do with the present that matters, and you've done your fair share.
[she nods]
...your mother. She seemed pretty shaken up... was she able to recover?
...your mother. She seemed pretty shaken up... was she able to recover?
Yes. She does not usually face monsters in the way I scolded her for, but she has lived in our household as long as I have.
[ Even if Roxana has moved to the main house and is nearer to the danger than her mother is. ]

[whew. that's a relief, at least - though roxana really is made of tough stuff, isn't she? to have lived in that household for the same amount of time is one thing, but her mother was an adult and roxana was a child for the first part of it.]
...I'm glad to hear that.
...I'm glad to hear that.
No one should be able to touch her for a while, and I've nudged on one of her servants to be more aware.
[ Roxana had to adapt or die. She had to become like the people she hated, or she'd become just like the brother she misses. ]
And I assume that attack wasn't enough to fell you. Your will to protect your mother shines through.

Good.
[here's hoping her servant actually does become more aware.]
...I recovered quickly enough. My aunt had killing intent, but she wasn't thinking clearly. A wound like that is easily treated by a competent doctor.

Good. I hope after that your aunt was thrown into a dungeon. There's no way she could have escaped some sort of punishment.
[ It looked like one of Jiuqing's friends had more power, and there was no way her father would be as sweet with the aunt once the aunt's past lover was revealed. ]

I think my father might have pulled some strings to be allowed to handle it himself. No dungeon, but - if my experience was any indication, he would have locked her into the cellar.
[...]
From what I heard afterward, he kept her as his concubine, but did not treat her well. And later, he got married... not to my aunt, but to the daughter of a house that could provide him with power and influence. But she's a thoroughly unpleasant woman, and she makes the both of them miserable. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if either of them wished they were dead... but that relief won't come so easily for them.
[suffer, binches.]

[i picked the cafe because i think the idea of them having a tea party is cute. let's say it's a little while after the panda has cleared out and the crowd has dispersed.]
That was... quite strange before, wasn't it?

I have to wonder what the appearances of all those colorful animals mean. It's usually only for around an hour, too.

If they're miserable, that's the least that could happen to them. Are you satisfied with that?
[ Is that revenge enough for Jiuqing? ]
[ Is that revenge enough for Jiuqing? ]
It does. And yet they say they know nothing of each other.
I'm satisfied knowing that their lives get worse and worse with each passing day.
But if they died, it would be over. That's too easy.

[ girl your revenge boner
Roxana gets it, though. ]
There are worse things than death, but that doesn't seem too terrible for your father if he still gained power and influence.
