Synopsis
After spending over 1000 hours playing Eternal Phantasm Requiem, Fujimoto Haruto knew everything about the game. He knew Alicia von Edelweiss, the heroine. He knew the monsters. He knew the plot. And he was perfectly content being her best friend, her sidekick, and one of her party members. He wasn’t the hero, and he didn’t want to be. Alicia was the one out there saving the world while Haruto stayed in the background, helping with minor tasks and occasional support. It was a sweet deal. Then, Haruto got Isekai’d into the game world. And now? He’s still the same useless sidekick with zero heroic ability, but with one new absurd skill—he somehow keeps triggering romance flags with every villainess he meets. These villainesses are all nuts, by the way. Some want him dead, some want him married, and some want both at the same time. Meanwhile, Alicia is out there, saving the world, looking perfect, while Haruto is dodging poisoned love letters and trying to survive romantic death traps. And that’s when it hit me. I wasn’t just the sidekick anymore. I was the sidekick who somehow got romanced by every villainess in the game. Why? I don’t know. What was supposed to be a quiet, background role has turned into a nonstop disaster. Alicia, the actual heroine, is off doing all the heavy lifting, saving the world, while I’m left with a harem of murderous women who think I am their “true love.” How do I survive this? How do I deal with a life where my only job seems to be dodging love potions and poison daggers? Can Haruto escape the villainess crossfire without accidentally marrying one of them to his doom? Or will he be the first-ever sidekick to get romanced into oblivion?

Chapter 1 - I’m Not Even the Hero?!

Darkness. Heavy. Suffocating.

Was this… the afterlife?

No. Because the afterlife wouldn't smell like dirt and disappointment.

I groaned, peeling my face off the ground. Grass stuck to my cheek. My mouth tasted like a old boots. The sky above was obnoxiously blue, as if mocking my very existence.

"Wait. Sky?!"

I sat up so fast I nearly knocked myself out again.

Before me stood… her.

Golden locks, blue eyes sparkling with justice, and armor so anime physics-defying it was a miracle she wasn't toppling over. Behind her, a squad of equally well-designed girls watched me like I was some kind of rare monster spawn.

"Haruto! You're finally awake!"

"...Huh?"

I blinked. Who the hell are you?

"Haruto, it's me! Your dearest, most trusted childhood friend, Alicia von Edelweiss!"

My soul left my body.

Alicia von Edelweiss. The heroine of Eternal Phantasm Requiem. The main character.

And that's when it hit me.

I wasn't the hero.

I was the heroine's best friend.

OH, COME ON!!!

Panic set in. I did what any sane man would do in an isekai situation—I checked my stats.

I stared at the screen.

Then back at Alicia.

Then back at the screen.

Haruto: "...You've got to be kidding me."

Alicia beamed. "You must be feeling overwhelmed! Don't worry, we're all here to support you!"

Haruto (internally): "Lady, I need support, alright. Preferably a reincarnation refund."

I flopped onto my back, ready to embrace the sweet release of denial—

˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗ BOOM! ˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗

The sky crackled with divine fury. A glowing red message burned into my vision.

[WARNING! ROMANCE EVENT FAILED TO TRIGGER! CONSEQUENCE: DIVINE PUNISHMENT IN 60 SECONDS!]

Haruto: "Eh?!"

Priestess: "Oh, it's starting already."

Haruto: "STARTING ALREADY?! LADY, HELP ME!!!"

Alicia: "Haruto, as your childhood friend, I believe in you!"

Haruto: "BELIEVE IN WHAT?! I'M ABOUT TO GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!"

Mage Girl: "If he's about to die, should we heal him preemptively?"

Priestess: "No need. The gods are efficient."

˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗BOOM! ˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ⚡︎ˎˊ˗

...And that's how my first day in another world began—with a divine lightning bolt to the face.
