“Please develop a cure for Magic Rejection Syndrome. You have six months.”
With the imperial princess’s commission dropped on me, a pharmacist of fallen noble origins, I was suddenly tasked with creating a cure for an incurable disease.
I did manage to complete it, but the side effects were… arousal?
There’s no way I can give something like that to Her Highness!
To make things worse, the one sent to deliver the commission was Lucian Rithardt, the heir of the Grand Duke’s family who cut ties with me long ago.
“Why are you still hanging around instead of leaving?”
“Poor Shasha. Why do you think I came all this way?”
And of all people, he ends up becoming my test subject?

Something is strange.
Was separation anxiety one of the side effects too?
“Shasha, you really don’t care about my body at all. I’m suffering to death here, and your research still matters more to you…”
“Shasha, I’m in pain. I feel like I’d get better if you touched me…”
Whether it’s the medicine or not, Lucian’s behavior has changed noticeably.
Whenever I try to step away, he immediately grabs onto me.
Even when the medicine burns its way down his throat between coughing fits, he looks for me first.
Why would he endure side effects like this just to stay close to me for the sake of the experiment?
“Well, I guess the Grand Duke’s family really is different… willing to endure side effects like this for the country.”
“…What?”
Everyone knows the Rithardts are a family of loyal retainers.
So then why does Lucian look so stiff all of a sudden?
