[This novel will be available to subscribe to on November 7. An 8,000-character update will be released that day. Please support and subscribe! QVQ] I'm dating the most popular heartthrob at school. To be precise, it's a contract relationship. The heartthrob didn't want to be called out every day to receive confessions, so he asked me to be his shield. I agreed. Before I transferred schools, my older brother said I was so gullible that people could beckon with a finger and I'd follow them. I had to prove to him that even if it was Kise, a heartthrob on the level of a school idol, I wouldn't... Well, so much for that. - The new transfer student, little Hibari, is adorable. She always looks out the window by herself and spaces out from time to time. She's as dreamy and weightless as someone from a fairy tale. But she keeps to herself, and even when you try to talk to her, all you get are short replies like "Mm," "Ah," and "Okay." Difficulty level: MAX. At a loss over how to woo little Hibari, Kise risked his life to recruit the clever captain as his wingman. "If you pursue her too aggressively, you might scare her away." "Make your kindness toward her feel natural, and then you can take your time." Kise believed this wholeheartedly and put it into practice. [Reader's Guide] 1. Kise is in a one-on-one romance. 2. The main story is told in third person. 3. Her older brother really is that ferocious beast from Namimori.

He's always been like a dog, clinging to her and licking and biting her. But lately, he flinches away from her affectionate advances as if he's become a different person. But no matter how you look at it, this is... Wonderful! Yuri, who had been coerced for years, wept with joy. Since going undercover at the distillery, Rei has worked hard to bury his past and earn the organization's trust, all while making sure no one discovers that he isn't the same person as the previous "Bourbon." He never expected that the previous Bourbon had done all kinds of awful things, not to mention forced a girl into a relationship with him. And the girl was Yuri Kuriguri, a financial officer in the organization. ...Why hadn't he heard about this from Keiji? Hiromitsu felt he was hardly to blame for this information gap. Bourbon held a high position in the organization, so it had been hard for him to investigate Bourbon's private life. Besides, Yuri Kuriguri didn't even have a codename in the organization. She was a marginal figure. He patted his best friend on the shoulder. "Anyway... do your best to handle it! Maybe ask Hagi for some pointers?" [Reader's Guide] 1. In this AU, Red and Black Toru both exist at the same time. 2. In this AU, all five members of the group are alive and well. 3. The Red Toru x Black Toru pairing is indisputable.
