The Male Lead Is Obsessed With My Health Chapter 1

Prologue

As I looked at the unidentified liquid sloshing around as if it were about to spill over from the large glass, my face grew paler and paler.

Gurgle.

A dark green liquid.

It was sticky with viscosity, and if you drank it, it felt like not only your sense of taste but even your life couldn’t be guaranteed.

But there was something that drove me even more crazy than this unidentified liquid…….

“Here you go.”

This guy right here.

“Drink it!”

The one holding out a glass full of the mysterious liquid to me with a seductive smile was Pession Allermann.

“Ugh.”

The fact that my heart wavered at the bewitching beauty of an eight-year-old wounded my pride for a moment.

His red eyes sparkled like jewels as they fixed on me.

“What are you doing? You’re not going to drink it?”

Without answering, I quietly looked up at him.

Pession Allermann.

The eldest son of the Allermann imperial family, and the crown prince who would one day rule the great empire of Albrecht.

And the ‘male lead’ of this ‘novel’.

That’s right. I had reincarnated into a novel.

And as an extra who was weak and died quickly.

An extra who was clearly meant to die after playing the role of the male lead’s childhood friend No. 1 at best. Nothing more, nothing less.

It should have been exactly that.

It should have been…….

“Arel, I went through so much trouble and hardship to get this. You’re not going to drink it?”

How did it end up like this?

When I showed even a hint of hesitation, Pession quickly picked up on it and looked at me with teary eyes.

…When he acted like this, it made me feel like I was going crazy.

Why are you doing this to me?!

“It’s not that I wasn’t going to drink it……”

“Then drink it.”

“No……”

Would you want to drink this?!

Closing your eyes and gulping something down was only possible when it at least looked somewhat normal.

That thing was truly some unidentified something I didn’t even want to put near my mouth!

When my face twisted, Pession’s expression grew even more sorrowful.

As expected, the only answer was to run……!

Grab!

“Huh? Where do you think you’re going?”

…I was caught in one second.

With this crappy body, I couldn’t even escape properly.

When I frowned, Pession—who had been wearing a lonely, abandoned-puppy expression—suddenly began reciting a monologue like a scene from a melodrama.

“They say it’s good for your health, so I personally went all the way to the very top of Croan Mountain in Sihallen and hunted the monster there to bring back its inner core. Ah, that monster was really strong. Its hide was tough too…… I almost died. You can’t buy this with money…… and you don’t even appreciate my effort…… I also got the Elond flowers from the Forest of the White Witch and the elixir that’s supposed to be good for your health…….”

“Okay, I’ll drink it! I’ll drink it, all right?!”

In the end, my conscience was poked again and again, and I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Suppressing my instinctive disgust, I finally brought my lips to the glass.

Seeing Pession’s face brighten instantly made me irritated and yet feel strangely conflicted. After pinching my nose and forcing myself to empty the glass, my stomach churned.

……I want to throw up.

“Arel, you! I heard you collapsed again yesterday? I told you to stay healthy! Who told you to be so weak?! Get my permission before you get sick!”

It was unfair. It’s not like I was born with this body because I wanted to be.

“But since you drank this today, you won’t collapse, right?”

That was an unbearably sad thing.

The taste lingering in my mouth.

A taste I never wanted to experience again. Ah, God. Why would you give me such a trial…….

“From now on, get my permission before you collapse. Got it?”

Pession must have completely lost his mind, because he was now forcing utterly nonsensical demands on me.

At least say something that makes sense.

And then came the question that snapped my mind wide awake.

“Did you do cardio?”

Flinch.

There was no way I had.

For the record, this body was so weak that just standing up made my head spin.

“That’s strange. You exercise so much, but you’re not building any muscle at all.”

“……”

“Once you’ve digested, let’s go out later and work out together!”

“……”

This was a tragedy.

Living with this trash of a body was already hard enough, and he was making my life even darker.

Unaware of how I felt, Pession casually muttered even more outrageous things.

“You need to get healthy fast so we can go hiking together and hunt monsters. Right, Arel?”

Hunt monsters, my foot?!

What on earth are you planning to do with me?!

I shuddered in disgust.

I reincarnated into a novel, and now the male lead was suddenly obsessed with my health.

“Don’t worry, Arel! Just trust me! I’ll definitely make you healthy!”

Ah, someone please get this male lead brat away from me.
