「Esmeralda, as of this moment, I am breaking off our engagement!」

「…………Huh?」

I was in the middle of my ninth consecutive all-nighter, utterly swamped with work, when I collapsed in the office.

But when I came to, standing before me was an unnervingly sparkling blond-haired hottie, wearing a smug expression.

T-this guy...!

I looked around to find myself in a sparkling space, surrounded by equally sparkling noble-like men and women.

And then, a heavy weight pressed down on my head.

When I instinctively touched it, I found a blond vertical curl so thick it could be a kebab.

—There’s no mistake.

This is the world of 'A Timeless Song for You'—or 'AnaYu' for short—the otome game I used to play obsessively!

It seems I’ve become Esmeralda, AnaYu's villainess!

—I see, so this must be a dream!

My nine consecutive all-nighters must have finally caught up with me; I definitely fell asleep.

Hmm, you really can't fight the signs of aging.

「Hey! Aren’t you going to say something, Esmeralda!?」

「Huh? Oh, right, right.」

Esmeralda's fiancé, Prince Hermann, was shrieking and squawking.

Hermann was a so-called main capture target, so he had a good face, but his personality was just too childish for my taste.

—Oh well.

If this is a dream, it’s a golden opportunity.

I might as well blow off all the steam I’ve accumulated from work!

「Prepare yourself, Esmeralda! I will absolutely—you!」

「TAAAAKE THAAAAT!!!」

「Gwah?!」

I delivered a full-force slap to Hermann’s cheek.
