“Ugh… … .”

A headache that felt like being stabbed with an awl. Even in the midst of all that, my thirst was soaring and my throat felt like it was burning.

John raised his head and shook his head.

It was a dark room. Looking out the window, it seemed like it was dawn, the sun just beginning to rise.

‘How much did you drink? Well, I don’t remember at all.’

Just yesterday, there was the debutante of the Marquis Youngae. Even though I am the third son of the Countess, it was an honorable occasion that Youngae specially invited me to, and I remember having a drink with familiar faces after a long time.

But isn’t this too much to drink? Yohan lowered his head, clutching his pounding head.

“Hoo… … .”

As I let out a sigh, the smell of alcohol rose up. My stomach felt like it was going to explode.

‘That’s why I’ve been avoiding alcohol as much as possible… … .’

Originally, my body was unaffected by alcohol, but after being reincarnated into this world, my body would leave this world if I drank just one glass of wine.

Not only that. My respiratory system was so weak that I couldn’t even touch something like a cigarette. My nose was also so sensitive that even the slightest bad smell made me dizzy.

Even if smoking is like that, Johan, who enjoyed drinking since his past life, could not adapt to these aftereffects even after becoming an adult.

‘I guess I’m drinking again.’

John took off the blanket he had been covering himself with as he made that pledge. His eyes widened after the pure white blanket was taken off.

“What is it?”

He wasn’t wearing any pants. Not even any underwear. John couldn’t understand this situation.

He doesn’t usually sleep naked. That’s how he was raised.

‘Come to think of it, I don’t have a top either.’

Taking off your top? Absolutely not. What if a maid comes in and sees it?

There is a deep reason behind this.

Because John has a reputation for having outstanding looks.

A trophy of the high society.

A trophy that the ladies and gentlemen are eager to get their hands on, their eyes burning with excitement.

That is Johan Harsen, the third son of the Count Harsen family.

So John has been keeping his bearings neat and tidy, leaving no room for error.

It was worse than that of a noblewoman.

‘What the hell is this─’

At that moment, a sharp headache struck. Yohan reflexively touched his forehead.

“My headache is so bad.”

My throat is so dry that my voice cracks.

Just as John was getting up from his seat to drink a glass of water,

“… !”

This time my back was sore. And it was crazy. I had scratched it somewhere, and it hurt just by moving a muscle.

“Oh, this is driving me crazy.”

It’s a total mess. I don’t even remember what happened yesterday, and my physical condition was a mess.

“Uhm, are you awake?”

As John shuddered in great pain, a clear woman’s voice was suddenly heard from beside him.

“… ?”

He didn’t understand what was happening at first. Why, why was there a woman he didn’t know lying next to him?

John turned his head and met her gaze. He met her red eyes hidden beneath long eyelashes. It was like looking at a ruby.

“… … .”

And, her long black hair was lying on the bed in a disheveled state.

The scent of freshly picked fruit wafted from her hair, which was like black pearls. The scent of flowers wafted from her fingertips as she approached John. Every time she blinked, she seemed to be fascinated.

But the moment of admiring the appearance was short. John was bewildered by this situation.

Who the hell is she? Why is she lying in the same bed as me?

When the woman tried to place the back of her hand on John’s cheek, he instinctively distanced himself and asked.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“Yes… ?”

“Why are we like this… together?”

John asked with genuine ignorance, because he couldn’t remember anything from yesterday.

I try to remember things, but all I can remember is drinking with my friends.

“I… …Are you saying that this is something you eat and throw away?”

A whisper. A voice full of life rose up the back of his throat.

A shadow fell over her face.

In the ominous atmosphere, John hurriedly asked back.

“What does it mean to be eaten and then abandoned… … Cool!”

Her voice cracked. When John coughed, she handed him some water from the shelf next to the bed.

“Please eat… … .”

“… Thank you.”

Only after he had stretched his neck out could John see the woman’s body. Whoever did it, her body was covered in bite marks.

“… … .”

If you’re not an idiot, if you’re not a savage, you’ll probably figure out what’s going on right now.

He had a forbidden night with the woman next to him.

“… I understand what happened yesterday. I’m really sorry, but what is your name?”

If you leave out something you don’t know, it’s no different from trash.

You have to keep your composure since you have to take responsibility for everything.

So I asked her name. Shouldn’t I at least know what family she came from?

The era and setting set in this world are clearly based on the idea of chastity.

If it’s not the first time, it’s enough to cause problems in marriage.

The first time a woman had visibility was that important.

John intended to take responsibility and go through with the marriage.

“As I said yesterday, it’s Francia. Francia Perbace.”

“… … .”

When John heard her name, he opened his mouth and was unable to continue speaking.

A name you can’t forget, no matter how hard you try.

The main character of the reverse harem romance fantasy work, , and the female protagonist who is the central figure of all events.

Francia Perbache.

The only daughter of the Duke of Perbace, and the only child who receives much love from the Duke.

She was the heroine of the world into which John was reincarnated.

* * *

Johann Harsen. The third son of the baroque artist.

Although he was born with an amazing appearance, he was always cautious because he was a lower-class noble.

Although he is not very smart, he has always pursued a smooth daily life, making small gains by using modern knowledge and the original content that he vaguely knows.

Because it doesn’t stop at the level of ruin if you get involved with a woman from a noble family.

What if I get involved with a count or marquis for no reason? The third son of a viscount will be beheaded for targeting his own daughter.

But what if the woman you’re in a relationship with is the Duke’s precious jewel?

What if the genre of this world, set against the backdrop of the protagonist before our eyes, is not a simple romantic fantasy, but a run-down romantic fantasy full of crazy male protagonists and villainous women?

‘It’s really been remodeled.’

The 21 years of living quietly in this world will go down the drain.

Of course, you’ll get involved with crazy bastards, and you’ll also come across some pretty wicked women.

Francia is a character who suffers from all kinds of crazy guys before meeting the main male protagonist.

If he got involved with her, the sparks would definitely fly to Johan.

Either way, they became rivals.

John couldn’t hide his despair.

“Hey, John? What’s wrong? Your expression is serious.”

“… … .”

“Did I make a mistake…?”

Francia looked up at John. Her eyes wavered.

“No, it’s not.”

John shook his head and gave an awkward laugh. He wasn’t a crazy guy who would get mad at the woman he had first.

“I don’t remember well because I drank too much yesterday. Can you tell me what happened? ”

I asked carefully, giving a reason so as not to offend. The problem is that I don’t remember in the first place.

“That’s right… … .”

Francia looked away and twirled her hair with her index finger.

“Yesterday, I was drinking alone, and Yohan came up to me and asked if I wanted to drink with him.”

“Me? No, anyway. So… ?”

“I readily agreed. My family was very strict, so I didn’t often get the chance to drink with a handsome man.”

“And… ?”

“That’s right, both you and Yohan got drunk and that’s why we came here…? Oh, I don’t blame you. I enjoyed it too… … .”

In short, he approached Francia, who was sitting still, and started doing something.

That too, by himself.

I, who have been aiming for a flat and simple life… … .

‘Even if you really try, you’ll be transformed.’

A look of despair appeared in his eyes. Francia also noticed and pouted her lips.

“I wonder if John doesn’t like me…?”

Her words continued with urgency.

“I scratched Yohan’s back yesterday and let out a vulgar groan… … I’m sorry. It was my first time feeling like that, so I didn’t know what to do… … .”

At her words, John hastily waved his hand.

“That’s not something you should apologize for, Lady. It’s natural. I’m not disappointed or anything either.”

The problem was himself.

“Anyway, I’m sorry for not remembering. I’m sorry for causing quite a bit of trouble.”

So John bowed his head and offered a sincere apology.

If you’re in a relationship and this is the situation, it would be right for him to apologize.

“No, I drank a lot yesterday too.”

Francia continued speaking, sneaking her body into John’s arms.

“I had such a great time yesterday. I can’t think of a night more magical than this. I’m sure you don’t remember, Yohan… … .”

“I’m sorry.”

Whenever the story of yesterday came up, John had no choice but to bow his head and apologize.

“It’s okay.”

“… … .”

“You can recreate memories.”

Francia pressed closer. She felt a soft touch on her arm. The man’s body was also honest in this way, and her lower body rose.

“Oh my.”

Francia covered her mouth with her hand as she looked at him. Her cheeks turned red.

“Shall we do it one more time…?”

“Um… ….”

To be honest, I just wanted to know what it felt like yesterday, when I couldn’t remember it.

The main character of the work, the central figure of the story, isn’t she a beautiful woman?

But now, John’s reason was ahead of his instincts.

If you do this one more time, it will be irreversible… … .

“If we do this again, it might be a burden to Francia.”

It was difficult for a woman who had just experienced it for the first time yesterday to do it consecutively.

John took advantage of this point and refused.

“… Now that I think about it, that’s true.”

Francia smiled bashfully, rubbing her waist. Her tongue, which she stuck out slightly, was red.

“My whole body hurts right now, so I can barely lift my head.”

How much had he done? John was resentful of himself yesterday. He was hateful.

Of course, it’s not that my one-night stand with a woman was bad. It’s just that the other person was Francia.

‘This is really ruined.’

If the other person had been just an ordinary woman from a noble family, John would have just let it go, thinking, “I couldn’t stand it anymore and did it.”

But Francia Perbace was different. She was the protagonist of this world, an ill-fated heroine who got involved with all sorts of crazy people.

It was clear that he too would be mixed into that misfortune.

‘But the good thing is that it’s before I enter the civil service, before the story begins to unfold.’

The story really begins in earnest during Johan’s generation – the story begins when Francia and other characters before our eyes enter the imperial civil service.

At that time, Francia was officially designated as the successor, and rumors began to spread throughout the social circles as the head of the Perbace Dukedom.

Judging from the fact that he attended the party yesterday and is still so relaxed today, he probably hasn’t become a royal official yet.

‘But just in case, let’s ask.’

John smiled awkwardly and stroked the back of Francia’s hand.

“Young-ae, are you working on something right now?”

“Yes. I’m a civil servant. I was just appointed as a special wizard.”

“Ah.”

The happiness circuit that had just been running was now colorless, as the story had already begun.

That means you will be at the center of future events and will have to fight against the male protagonists and villainesses.

‘Even if I really try to control it, it’s too much.’

It was a moment when my life became terribly complicated.
