Volume 11 Chapter 2 The Truth Behind Destroyer Sakura
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Sakura, a Transferee¹. She had managed to beguile Otto of the Hero Party², settle into the role of his lover, and secure her status as a future noblewoman.
For about a week as Otto’s lover, she endured Otto, whose every thought and action was repulsive. Just as Otto was becoming dependent on her, the incident occurred. Otto was expelled from the party. She hadn’t struggled to reel Otto in, but her irritation exploded at having to start over just when things were finally going smoothly, and she took it out on Otto.
As a result—well, Otto didn’t matter, but it was a failure to leave a bad impression on kingdom-related figures, including her ex-boyfriend Shouta, Takumi, and other members of the Knights’ Order³.
Such a Sakura was now in the Imperial Capital⁴. She had taken the bait from Boris, an Imperial scout. While she was attracted by the good conditions, it was also related to the fact that it had become difficult to stay in Maultasche⁵.
It wasn’t just that she had a poor reputation among the Knights’ Order and the upper echelons of the country due to her previous failure; it was because the other Transferee girls she had originally formed a party with were there.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t face them because she had suddenly quit; it was because her true nature was known to her former classmates, and they could get in her way.
Sakura chose Otto by chance. Since she and Otto were acquaintances, she could skip the steps to get to know him; they had plenty of common topics as fellow Transferees; and above all, he was easy to beguile because, despite not being popular, he couldn’t hide his obsession with women. The only drawback was the double-dating reveal, but he had easily believed her excuse, which was seventy percent lies.
”We two are destined to be together!”
”…That’s right♪”
Otto was floating on air, but for Sakura, he was merely the quickest partner to choose. He was so carefree that she was at a loss for how to react.
While Otto was extremely easy to bring down, it wasn’t without its problems. He was unexpectedly possessive, and his restraint was strong. During their rest in the Royal Capital, and of course during the subsequent expedition, he demanded that they be together except when fighting, preventing her from acting freely. Since he also disliked her talking to other men, she couldn’t even set up a double-dating situation.
And the biggest problem was his lack of ability. A lack of ability score was unavoidable, but his poor positioning in battle stood out. Even she, with a relatively low level, noticed it, so the members of the Hero Party must have felt it strongly. And that concern came true; about a week after he started dating Sakura, Otto was expelled.
Sakura was initially cautious, observing her surroundings, partly because she had been caught double-dating immediately after her reincarnation. She was slightly dissatisfied with the skewed gender ratio, but while researching various things, she realized, “This world suits me.” If your level rises, you automatically become beautiful.
An A-Rank Adventurer⁶ is rare and treated as quasi-nobility⁷. If you have power, even a reverse harem⁸ is possible.
She even thanked the gods for reincarnating her into a world that suited her this much. Especially when she noticed that her single eyelids and flat face had changed with her level-up, she couldn’t stop grinning.
Even if a little hardship was unavoidable, it was ridiculous to work hard until she died. Sakura, who knew the profit of parasitizing others in her previous life, dragged that sense of value with her.
However, due to things like Otto’s expulsion, it would be difficult to realize her ideals if she stayed in Maultasche. In the Empire, where few people know her and power is everything, she can build her ideal reverse harem.
Since her growth rate is ten times that of the locals thanks to her reincarnation cheat, failure is impossible if she does it normally. It might take a little time, but it’s much better than failing.
* * *
One year since reincarnating, Sakura had been quite patient. Because of Yumiko, who had a strong sense of chastity, she couldn’t engage in nightlife—or, to put it plainly, man-hunting. The fact that she quit the party when she dated Otto was partly because that frustration had built up.
The members who had formed the party simply because they were former classmates: Nanami, who was aloof yet sometimes saw through things sharply; Hina, who was too pure and not jaded at all; Rin, who attracted attention with an overwhelming presence despite being dazed; and Mizuki, whose values were too different from Sakura’s, who had zero faith, making their conversations never click. She hated them all. She had thought of nothing but how to leave the party.
* * *
Sakura of her previous life had lived quite freely. Fortunately for Sakura, her parents were laissez-faire. She thinks there was some affection, but to Sakura, that didn’t matter, and it was important that she could act freely.
At school, she was dating two people: the delinquent Takumi and the Kendo club⁹ president, Shouta. She thought of Takumi as being somewhere between a sexual partner and a backup, but Shouta also had violent behavior, so he was far from being her main choice. To be safe, she acted so they wouldn’t find out about each other, but she couldn’t hide it completely. In fact, almost everyone except the people involved knew.
She also had a boyfriend outside of school—a handsome guy from a fairly wealthy family. Compared to Takumi and Shouta, he had higher specs, but he was a playboy, so she couldn’t control him. The existence of this boyfriend was something that some people, like Ren, knew.
However, Sakura’s true favorite was not them. He was a son of a wealthy family with a decent face, a university student with little experience with women. They met after she guided him when he happened to get lost, and she used somewhat forceful tactics to settle into the seat of his girlfriend.
Perhaps because he had been suppressed in a strict environment, he was enthusiastic about s*x, and he was crazy about the experienced Sakura. She intended to put a hole in his condom and get pregnant in about two years to force him into marriage. If he hadn’t died in an accident that day, that would have come true.
Such was Sakura, but she hadn’t been this reckless from the start. Up until the lower grades of Elementary schoolers¹⁰, she had parts that were normally cute.
The turning point was being invited to play basketball by her classmates: Yuuki, with cute snaggletooth, and Maki, who was precocious and tall. She decided to join in with the two she hung out with at the time. There, she had to face a cruel reality.
Maki was an ordinary person not much different from herself, but Yuuki clearly had talent compared to the two. By the time Sakura managed to do a Layup shoot¹¹ with her dominant hand, Yuuki had mastered it with both hands. She had a wide field of vision, and her passes were accurate. She was slightly physically weak, but she had a sense that more than made up for it.
Although they started from the same place, she was being left behind more and more. She felt impatient and frustrated. But the more she tried, the more she was made aware of the difference in talent.
And Yuuki was cute. Unlike her basketball skills, which you couldn’t tell by looking, the difference was clear to everyone’s eyes. Fortunately, she wasn’t at the bottom because she was in the same boat as Maki, but Yuuki was in a league of her own. She happened to hear the boys on the same team talking in the locker room after practice.
”Hey, who do you like out of those three?”
”Ugh, that’s a bit…”
”Just say it.”
”I’ll keep it a secret, I promise.”
”Then what about you guys?”
”Obviously Yuuki.”
”Me too.”
”Is that so… Me too, Yuuki, I guess. She’s cute and good at it…”
”You like Yuuki! I’ll go tell her!”
”Wait, stop it!”
That guy with freckles and short stature, that guy who was short but cool, that guy who was tall but had a dowdy face, and that guy who was unimpressive overall. No one mentioned her name. They didn’t even care. It was a painful thing for Sakura, who was at an age where she became interested in the opposite s*x in the upper grades of Elementary schoolers.
She lost at basketball, lost in looks, and lost in studies as well. Sakura’s personality became twisted with smoldering dissatisfaction.
When she entered middle school, those around her began to become sexually aware. She quit basketball when she went to middle school because the basketball club advisor had a reputation for being strict. Away from basketball, Sakura began to play with men as a way to kill time.
At first with classmates, then with an acquaintance’s Senpai. While the Senpai maintained decorum with wholesome activities like bowling, body contact increased when they played in closed rooms like karaoke. Because she was in puberty and had some interest in s*x, she accepted the invitations and had relationships.
It was a little painful at first, but once she got used to it, she could also find pleasure. Thus, Sakura became addicted to s*x, which made her forget the stress she had built up.
Yuuki was someone who stimulated her complex, but the friendship of the three, including Maki, continued. This was because the cuteness she couldn’t imitate was a target of jealousy and at the same time an object of longing.
As the years went by, Yuuki’s popularity accelerated, and it had become seen as “Yuuki and the two supporting roles.” She had complaints, but she was able to get along with Yuuki as a friend. They studied for tests together and went to amusement parks. They were playing like very ordinary middle schoolers.
Such a hollow friendship would soon come to an end. The Senpai whom Sakura had genuinely loved for a change confessed to Yuuki. And Yuuki reportedly turned him down with the reason, “I don’t want a boyfriend right now.” The Senpai, who had approached her several times and become fairly close but was evaded at the crucial moment and couldn’t develop a romantic relationship, fell in love with Yuuki, whom he had barely spoken to, and she despaired that it was all about looks after all. And she felt strong jealousy toward Yuuki.
Sakura decided to take revenge on Yuuki. It was a completely misplaced resentment, but even though she knew that, she couldn’t stop.
Even if it was revenge, if she laid hands on her directly, she would unilaterally be the perpetrator and Yuuki the victim. Those around her would sympathize with Yuuki, and she would have no allies. So she decided to lower her value by “corrupting” her.
The final goal was decided, but the innocent Yuuki had some resistance to sexual things and wouldn’t become a bitch all of a sudden. Therefore, she needed to proceed cautiously so as not to cause suspicion. Just as she had done, she started by getting her used to the town at night.
”Yuuki, won’t you go to karaoke with me now?”
”Eh… isn’t it bad if only students go?”
”It’s fine. Maki’s going too, right?”
”Sure, let’s go, let’s go! You’re worrying too much, Yuuki!”
Yuuki was reluctant, but with the push from the play-loving Maki, she ended up coming along. Perhaps stimulated by the sense of the extraordinary in the town at night with only children, Yuuki was also enjoying the karaoke.
Once they became accustomed to it through karaoke, the next step was the arcade.
While gradually getting her used to the nighttime streets like that, she also got her used to men.
Naturally, at first, it was just to the extent of hanging out in a group during the day.
Because she had strictly told the men to behave themselves at first, Yuuki—and Maki as well—never encountered any dangerous situations.
Spending time in that manner, she slowly warped their common sense.
Eventually, Yuuki no longer showed any vigilance even during nighttime karaoke with both men and women together.
Sakura proactively initiated body touching with the men to make Yuuki think, “Even between guys and girls, if they are friends, body touching is no big deal.”
Maki, who already had an interest in s*x, was also quite proactive.
Yuuki never initiated anything from her own side, but she stopped strongly refusing even when the men touched her.
During one of those multiple outings, Sakura proposed the King’s Game.
At first, it was a light thing, only to the extent of holding hands.
Even so, Yuuki hesitated, but Sakura, Maki, and the men leaned forward and cheered excitedly to pressure her.
Overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the room, Yuuki could say nothing and was simply swept along.
Because the reaction to the King’s Game wasn’t great, they switched to Jenga or cards, but the actions required for the penalty games remained exactly the same.
As she gradually made the contents more extreme, Yuuki was swept along while feeling completely bewildered.
After doing it a few times, her sense of aversion completely disappeared.
Once that happened, Sakura made the contents a bit more radical.
She advanced the steps systematically: touching the arm, placing a hand on the shoulder, tickling the flank, touching the cheek, a hug, stroking the thigh…
Advancing it over time in that manner, she finally made Yuuki kiss a man who wasn’t even her boyfriend.
He was the most good-looking among Sakura’s s*x partners, and the fact that they had gotten close through one thing or another was a major factor.
Yuuki emanated a mysterious, seductive charm that made even Sakura, a woman herself, feel a sudden throb.
Perhaps because she had been teased with soft touches, Yuuki’s reaction wasn’t as bad as expected, and Sakura succeeded in leading the situation directly into an orgy.
It happened during their second year.
Because Yuuki was serious and kind at her core, she couldn’t bring herself to abandon even the trashiest men, and she fell further and further into depravity.
What Sakura felt after teaching Yuuki these bad habits and turning her into a loose girl was the thrill of immorality and a trace of guilt for scattering her friend’s chastity to trashy men.
However, what she felt even more strongly than that was a profound sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
When she saw Yuuki, who used to be the absolute target of admiration for all the boys, actively shaking her hips on top of a man, a thrilling sensation made her spine shiver.
If Yuuki had remained neat and pure, she might have had a genuinely good romantic encounter, but now that things had turned out like this, she could no longer hope for such a thing.
It was an event that went exactly as Sakura wished for the first time in a while.
However, that satisfaction did not last long.
It went without saying which one was more popular between a “beautiful loose girl” and an “ordinary or below loose girl.”
As a result, Sakura’s days merely consisted of relieving her growing frustration through endless s*x.
Because she was about to be caught by her parents, she reformed her attitude after entering high school and stopped having relationships with unspecified, random partners.
Anyway, after entering high school, she had two boyfriends.
However, Takumi’s level of commitment wasn’t high enough to actually call him a boyfriend, and he always wanted to hook up immediately whenever they met.
Shouta was a very similar story.
Even though she intended to behave herself, the things she was doing in the end didn’t amount to much of a difference.
As another thing that changed, because she learned how to use makeup after becoming a high school student, she had become around average in looks, even if she couldn’t be called a true beautiful girl.
She absolutely never removed her makeup in front of men, though.
* * *
Sakura, who had now arrived in the Imperial Capital, was deeply reflecting on her past failures.
Making only one person her lover, choosing a partner who utterly lacked ability, and the fact that he was currently nothing more than a mere adventurer, whatever the future might hold.
Because she had chosen the easiest, most convenient path, it had resulted in the worst possible outcome.
However, if she knew the exact cause, she just had to aim for the absolute opposite of it.
She would make multiple partners her lovers.
They had to be local people who generally permitted that kind of lifestyle.
They needed to be partners who could not be easily eliminated or cast aside by those around them, such as high-rank adventurers or nobles at the very center of the country’s power.
Of course it would not be easy, but fortunately, she possessed her reincarnation cheat.
A chance would surely come.
Although her goal had become completely clear, if she made contact abruptly right after arriving, people would become highly vigilant.
Judging that it was best to quietly perform regular adventurer activities for a while, she deliberately joined an all-female party.
For some reason, Otto was also present in the Imperial Capital, but she just had to make sure their spheres of activity did not overlap.
Around the Imperial Capital, there were plenty of dungeons that were completely unsuited for a Heavy Warrior like Otto.
Right now, it was still a time for lying low and biding her time.
In this manner, Sakura’s life in the Empire began—the woman who would later be known to future generations as the “rare wicked woman” and the “worst poisonous woman in the history of the Empire.”

Meta Tsedes: “Because it was such a dark story, it seems the author is wondering whether to make the next chapter a comedy.”
Narrator: “I see. Then it is finally your turn to shine.”
Meta Tsedes: “It is Meta-san’s turn, right?!”
Narrator: “If I appear, it will turn into nothing but ordinary, lovey-dovey flirting, so unfortunately, there seems to be no turn for me.”
Meta Tsedes: “There you go again~ you must be joking!”
Narrator: “I do not make jokes regarding matters about Daisuke-sama. Besides, Daisuke-sama calls even me ‘cute’ and loves me deeply.”
Meta Tsedes: “I, who am so neat, pure, and lovely, have not been told that at all! What is going on here?!”
Narrator: “Did you not already graduate from being a neat, pure, and lovely beautiful girl Knight?”
Meta Tsedes: “…That’s right, I did.”
