What should you do if your nemesis kisses you before you die? Gus was stunned.
After he'd spent ages psyching himself up to accept that his nemesis liked him, he suddenly heard someone claiming to be a System say, [Conquest Gus Percy mission failed. System loading save file...]
When Gus woke again, he was back on the day he first met his nemesis, Yule Gerard.
Looking at the man curled up in a miserable heap before him, Gus pressed hard on his wound as he met the man's abandoned-dog gaze. "If you're going to act pitiful, at least do it convincingly."
After being reborn, Gus could hear Gerard talking with the System. He thought Gerard saw him only as a conquest target, but then he caught a glimpse of Gerard's true feelings. If that was the case, then he ought to teach him how he should behave around him.

Yule had unexpectedly arrived in this world, and his only goal was to conquer Duke Yule Percy.
When they first met, he was covered in blood, and the man carried him home, gently checking his wounds and personally applying medicine every day. Yule fell helplessly in love. But as they spent more time together, he gradually realized that this was only Gus's mask. Gus's gentleness wasn't reserved for him, and neither was his coldness.
If walking the same path couldn't make you look at me, then I'll become your enemy.
But after the save file loaded, something seemed different. Seeing the madness Gus openly displayed, Yule's mind filled with countless wicked thoughts, which ultimately spilled from his eyes as tears.
Yule soon regretted giving in, even for a moment. Tied to a chair, he could only gaze at his lover with an unreadable look, inch by inch, as he listened to the devil's tempting words: "Want me to help you? You know what to do."
"...Please."
