The Shifted Bond

Laxus genuinely meant it.

But how did things even end up like this?

This meant there had been a major shift in the original story's relationship chart.

Instead of Laxus x Sylas, the current situation was Laxus x Rocco.

The protagonist's role as the "bottom" had shifted from Sylas to Rocco—an incredibly alarming development.

Well, to be fair, Sylas in reality didn't have a single ounce of "bottom" energy.

In the original story, he had that tsundere, cool-but-secretly-soft vibe.

But in reality?

He was just straight-up tsundere, cool, and permanently pissed off.

Right now, Sylas wasn't giving off submissive energy at all—if anything, he was overwhelmingly dominant.

But more than that…

"My brother and Laxus… they don't look like they're in love with each other at all."

"Huh? What's with the creepy talk all of a sudden, Rocco?"
