Hedonia, the male lead of the novel Something About That Guide has to consume the blood of another Guide of the same rank to overcome his awakening pains.

Who was chosen for this pivotal role?

I, Karina, an extra.

Despite her formidable powers, Karina becomes a villainess in the story, corrupted by the wealth and honor she gains from providing her blood to Hedonia.

This is an opportunity.

What’s important is simple: I just need to perform the role in a way that fits my station—enter the Duchy, partake in mild amusements, and observe the budding romances among the protagonists.

“I seek nothing from playing the substitute.”

After fulfilling my obligation as a stand-in, I’d exit the original storyline.

…Or so I thought.

“You’ve grown on me.”

“You are needed.”

“Come back, Karina.”

These pleas for my return surrounded me, but most important of all…

“Karina, I’ve come to make you my very own Esper.”

The male lead himself—who was supposed to be a fellow Guide—appeared before me as an Esper, saying he couldn’t live without me!
