The seat change put me next to Minato Shinohara, the taciturn, unsmiling ace of the track team. After school, stuck on day-duty cleanup with a guy who normally gives nothing but the barest reply, he suddenly pulls my wrist at point-blank range and pins me against the wall. "...You're way too defenseless. Don't make that face in front of people." The click of the classroom lock, and a heated look unlike his usual self. Our secret time alone begins.
A marriage of convenience in name only, arranged with childhood friend Sosuke Tachibana to deflect political scheming and meddling from those around us. In society, we play the perfect, enviable couple to a tee—but the moment we step back into our private residence, Sosuke pins back his bangs and closes the distance with his unguarded, sharp-tongued remarks. A flawless partnership in public, and an endless volley of unfiltered banter between just the two of us in the living room. What was supposed to be a contract on paper alone becomes a shared life tossed about by the possessive heat that slips out of him now and then.
"I'll heal you tenderly from behind!" So smiled the lovely rookie white mage. But the moment she was surrounded by ferocious magic beasts, what she pulled out was a massive iron mace like a battering ram taller than herself!? A thrilling, slightly precarious adventure tale with a super-strong healer who smashes enemies spectacularly and desperately insists, "Ah, that was a miracle of holy light!"
Deep in a forest shrouded in thick fog, it was the bewitching witch Rowena who came to the rescue of あなた, lost and wandering. In her dimly lit hideaway, she spreads a detox salve over the skin, whispering into the ear with all the composure in the world. But the moment thanks is offered, sincere and direct, and her hand is squeezed back in return, that mature smile changes completely--?
Beyond the clamor of a stately evening banquet lies the palace rose garden, bathed in moonlight. The one who follows you there is Claudia, the cool-headed royal guard knight. When you take her hand as she excuses herself with patrol duty, her usual dignified mask crumbles in an instant—within the night garden with nowhere to run, her clumsy affection is laid bare.
A fierce thunderstorm has left the two of you alone at the summer villa one afternoon. Lucien, having cast off his perfect crown prince mask, leans against the chaise by the window and tugs at your sleeve with smoldering eyes. "Come on, come sit next to me... don't leave me all alone."—In the silence wrapped in the sound of rain, his sweet possessiveness and pleading pour out toward you, the only one he lets his guard down around.
The night the heavy cathedral doors close after the last of the faithful has been seen out. Alone at last with あなた, her personal guard knight, in the silence, Saint Liliana—still frozen in her prayer posture—lets her taut mask slip away and clings to him, utterly spent.
What you signed with Elvira von Rothstein, heiress of a noble house, is a contract marriage with an expiration date: produce an heir, and you'll be granted an immediate divorce and your freedom. By day she keeps a cool, businesslike distance as a stern military officer, but the moment the bedroom door closes at night, her eyes burn with possessive desire. What was meant to be a night of mere formality leaves you breathless, swept away by sweetness and relentless devotion—
As the price for being saved from the brink of ruin, I entered a limited-term marriage with the cold young Duke Alvin—lasting only until an heir is born. By day he treats me like a stranger, distant and cool, but behind the locked door of my chambers at night, he closes in with burning eyes and sweet, possessive obsession...!?
To save her family from ruin, she signed a marriage of convenience with Duke Yug Valmont, a man famed for his icy demeanor. The terms: "Once an heir is conceived, we divorce, and you'll receive your freedom and a generous settlement." Thus began a marriage in name only. But by day he keeps a cool, distant air—until the bedroom door closes at night, and he embraces her with burning breath and fierce, possessive desire, like a different man entirely...? A sweet, intense contract marriage where she's swept away by the true feelings hidden beneath his cold mask.
When my noble family fell into ruin and left me isolated, the offer presented to me was a three-year contract marriage, solely to produce an heir. By day, he regards me with a dutiful, icy gaze; by night, in my private chambers, he fences me in with a burning, fierce possessiveness. When the promised term arrives and I try to withdraw, he casts aside his cold mask and closes in on me—.
To escape relentless marriage proposals, あなた enters a sham marriage with childhood friend Sakuya Kuze, an elite government official. In public, they play a loving, picture-perfect couple everyone envies—but alone at home, he drops the smile and turns haughty and sharp-tongued. "How long are you going to stand there? Don't make that exhausted face over playing the wife." It's supposed to be a strictly businesslike arrangement with no romance—yet Sakuya coldly shuts out any suitors, fencing あなた into his territory. Thus begins the maddening partners-in-crime life of two people bound by secrets and mutual interest.
A world where the standards of beauty and ugliness are completely reversed. Margrave Dirk Wahrheit—broad-shouldered, tall, and chiseled with a ruggedly handsome face—lives shunned by society as a "grotesque monster," avoiding all eyes. But to あなた, a foreigner, he's a breathtakingly gorgeous man beyond compare!? A cross-cultural love story between a clumsy giant who blushes and panics at every compliment, and you, who just wants to adore him.
A sudden downpour leaves you stuck after school, alone with her in the library. Aoi Seto, the library committee member who's always cool and a little hard to approach, gives a small flinch of her shoulders at the distant rumble of thunder. Unable to drop her usual prickly attitude, yet for some reason refusing to leave the seat beside you, she awkwardly tugs at your sleeve—.
1 A.M., in a silent office. Aoi Seto, the brilliant junior who usually buries her feelings and handles her work flawlessly, is trembling at the corner of her desk. When a can of coffee is offered in the empty floor, her cold mask comes crashing down with a sound. "...I told you not to look. So why won't you just leave me behind...?" The fragility on the verge of hyperventilation and the maddening clinginess hidden behind her usual sharp tongue and guardedness come spilling out into the midnight dark.
Silvester, the ruthless and feared strongest officer of the enemy army. When your unit seized the stronghold, he was somehow taken prisoner without a scratch. Alone with him in an underground interrogation room, bound in chains, he glares at you with piercing eyes—yet the breath he lets slip and the look in his eyes carry a strange heat...?
Erika Saijo is the academy's beautiful girl whom everyone admires. With her flawless smile and thoughtful attentiveness, she charms everyone around her, but beneath the surface, she is a thorough narcissist who regards others as nothing more than background props meant to make her shine. When あなた happens to learn her blatant scheming and hear her true thoughts, Erika turns a cold gaze on you and proposes a calculating deal. Yet, as you validate her immense pride and play the role of her foil, her icy attitude gradually shifts into possessive attachment and needy affection toward the one special ally who makes her shine brighter than anyone else in the world.
"Mmm... you worked hard again today. Hey, hurry up and give me a hug...?" Kai Tachibana, a young pastry chef who hones his craft with relentless discipline at a first-rate patisserie. In the kitchen he's all business, but the moment he comes back to the apartment you share, he transforms completely into a soft, laid-back, mushy boyfriend, his piercings swaying as he melts into you!? He begs in a voice sweeter than fresh-baked original desserts, and the two of you heal each other on the sofa, pressed close together. But it's precisely because you've been together so long that he shows such unguarded allure, and the possessiveness that flashes through him in unguarded moments keeps your heart racing tonight too--.
Sosuke Sena, the quiet coworker known for being the serious one at the office. But the moment he catches sight of the body insecurity you've always kept hidden in an empty meeting room, his reason quietly burns through. "I've wanted to touch you for so long... this part of you, it's beautiful." His obsession-drenched, one-of-a-kind devotion begins, as he sheds his cool exterior for good.
Asahi Kido, a notorious delinquent with a record of repeated troublemaking, stands before あなた, who's in charge of disciplinary guidance. He glares sharply and mouths off with attitude, but once the two of them are alone in the empty guidance room, he shows an odd sense of relief at being sternly reprimanded. "...Hey. Watch me closer. For real this time."
