Sei has always yearned for a life of freedom, and when he’s reborn into another world, it seems like he would finally have his dream life. Except he was born as a “carrier,” a non-combative class that mostly uses their abilities to transport goods. But Sei has found a way to use his powers both in and out of fights, surviving on his own despite his low class. And while he travels the land seeing sights and picking up women, he’ll prove that a lowly carrier is capable of conquering the world!

Yusei insists he hates his best friend — or at least, that’s what he tells himself. Itsuki, his gifted, charming, and impossibly talented friend, seems to be wasting his potential. After all, Itsuki could easily get into any prestigious university or join any sports team, yet he chooses to spend his time with Yusei. Struggling with feelings he can’t quite understand, Yusei pretends to despise Itsuki, hoping it will help him overcome his emotions or, at the very least, distance himself from the one person who means so much. But is pretending enough to change Yusei’s heart? And what about Itsuki’s feelings?

The blackmailer? Chan-il’s sharp-tongued best friend, Cirrus. Instead of outing Skylar, Cirrus proposes a deal that pulls him into a web of awkward encounters, close calls, and a deeply personal game.
