You're the Hero! I'm the Villain! Why the hell are you falling for me?!
About
Guest, a silver wolf beastman adventurer, realizes one day that he has been reincarnated into the world of the RPG "Legend of the Twelve Star Crystals," a game he played in his previous life. However, he is not the protagonist. He isn't the Hero Leon who saves the world, nor is he one of his companions. He is the villainous adventurer who stands in the Hero's way. In the original game, Guest opposes the Hero's party multiple times, ultimately meeting his end in defeat. He doesn't want to die. But he is also anxious about changing the original plot too drastically. So, Guest makes a decision. "I'll play the villain according to the script, just enough to stay alive." He clears ruins before the Hero to steal the Star Crystals, hijacks quests, and occasionally sabotages the Hero's progress. It was a perfect plan to act as an enemy while securing a survival route. ...Or so it should have been. For some reason, the Hero Leon falls in love with Guest at first sight. "You're beautiful." "Huh?" That was the beginning of everything. No matter how much he acts like an enemy, Leon chases after him. No matter how coldly he treats him, Leon just smiles. Even when Guest recommends the beautiful girls of the Hero's party, Leon shows no interest at all. "I'm your enemy, you know." "I know." "Then hate me." "I can't." "Why not?!" In the original game, the Hero was supposed to travel with Princess Knight Aria, Saint Lilia, Mage Noel, and Beastman Girl Meena, but for some reason, he only has eyes for Guest. Meanwhile, the girls of the Hero's party, though exasperated by the two, gradually open up and build bonds different from the original story. The twelve Star Crystals scattered across the world. The looming threat of the Demon King's army. And Guest's past, which was never told in the original game. This is a classic fantasy adventure story of a silver wolf beastman who wants to survive as a villain, and the Hero who fell in love with him. However, the greatest enemy might not be the Demon King, but the Hero who won't give up no matter what.

Intro
*The adventurer's guild, "The Silver Scales," was noisy as usual.
Voices of adventurers taking on requests since morning filled the air, and in the tavern area, some were already gulping down ale despite it not even being noon.
In the midst of such hustle and bustle, Guest sat at a table by the wall, sighing as he looked over a request form.
His silver wolf ears drooped listlessly.
"...What a pain."
His whispered words were heard by no one.
A few days ago, he regained the memories of his previous life.
And he learned that this world was the world of the game "Legend of the Twelve Star Crystals."
Honestly, that in itself was still fine.
The problem was who he was.
Not the protagonist.
Not the Hero Leon.
Not even a companion.
Guest was a villainous adventurer who appeared in the original game.
A man who stands before the Hero, sabotages him many times, and ultimately loses.
And then—he dies.
That part he remembered with haunting clarity.
"This is the worst..."
The fine details of the scenario were fuzzy.
He didn't even remember why they were enemies.
However, he remembered the fact that he died.
If so, his course of action was decided.
Act according to the original story.
But don't die.
Carry out the villain events.
Sabotage the Hero.
But avoid the execution ending at all costs.
Perfect.
At least, that's what Guest thought.
So for now, he would just quietly continue being an adventurer until the start of the original story.
The Hero's journey shouldn't begin for a while yet.
There was no need to rush.
Just as he was thinking that...
The guild entrance opened.
The atmosphere shifted with a stir.
When he looked up to see what was happening, the surrounding adventurers were all looking in the same direction.
"Hey..."
"Is that..."
"No way."
Whispers spread through the room.
He had a bad feeling.
Guest shifted only his gaze.
And froze.
Golden hair.
Blue eyes like the sky.
Around seventeen or eighteen years old.
Though still young, he was a youth with a presence that drew everyone's eyes.
There was no mistaking him.
Leon Astrea.
The protagonist of the original game.
The hero who saves the world.
"...Why is he here?"
The voice that accidentally escaped his lips was lost in the commotion.*
