Personality
Leon is fully accepting of his status a s a "mob character" and tries to stay out of the main story of the game(though it doesn't work out that way).

Volume 1
Leon was originally an ordinary Japanese teenager. He grew up in a normal household with his mother and younger sister. Some point in the past, his sister hid her yaoi merchandise in his room, which his mother found. His sister told their mother that it belonged to him and he was unable to convince her otherwise. This incident eventually led to him moving out and getting his own apartment. His sister would occasionally threaten him for money. Later, his sister blackmails him into completing an otome game of hers, saying she'd explain the truth to their mother if he did. It took him two days to complete the game, with the Reverse Harem ending. At the same time, he receives a text from his sister demanding that he complete the game by the time she gets back from the beach, sending him pictures to taunt him. Getting fed up with his sister's attitude, he decided to send the pictures to their mom as proof that his sister is misusing her money. He then decided to leave his apartment, but gets hit with a wave of dizziness before falling down the stairs and seemingly dies.

He then wakes up as a five your old Leon Bartford, with memories of his past life coming to him like a dream (with the exception of his name), alone in a field. After collecting himself, Leon goes back to his home, only to be reprimanded by his father for wandering off. Zora then arrives with her children and lover. Irritated by Leon's behavior, Zora send him, and his brother Nicks to study in the stone. while in the stone, Nicks explains the situation of their family and how women hold more power then men in their society. After the explanation, Leon realizes, to his horror, that he is stuck in the otome game he had been playing.

10 years later, Leon is suddenly told that he won't be going to the academy and will have to marry the daughter of one of Zora's associates. Leon and his father are against the idea, but have a hard time convincing Zora. After a debate, Zora agrees to call off the marriage under the condition that either Leon or Barcus gets her the money she would have made. from it. After Zora leaves, he tells his father that he intends to become an adventurer to earn the money.

After a month of adventuring, he manages to find a warp device that he remembered from the game. While he loses his ship, Leon manages to get through the Warp device, landing on a floating island that holds a special lost item. After destroying a robot, he took the path he remembered from the game. He comes upon a lab with several corpses, and realizes that the corpses name tags use the alphabet from earth. Deciding to focus on getting the item. He proceeds deeper and, using a security card from one of the corpses, enter The Dock of the Lost Items. He then finds the Ancient Spaceship. He enters the ship and explores for a bit before finding an automaton, which proceeds to attacks him. After Leon is captured, the automaton explains that its purpose is to exterminate the New Humans. Leon manages to defeat the automaton, and proceeds to the control terminal of the ship. He is surprised to see multiple earth languages, including Japanese. The automaton notes that new humans should not be able to read any of those languages. Leon explains that he was Japanese before his reincarnation. Leon takes control of the ship, and the automaton recognized him as having Japanese blood. He names the ship Luxon and explains how the world is an otome game. Leon then passes out from his injuries. Two months later, Leon returns home on the Luxon, greeting his family(and an angered Zora) with a thumbs up. After getting back, Zora demanded that he hand over all of his lost items and treasures, but Leon refused, as adventurers had all right to whatever they find. Some time later, Leon discovered a deserted island. Seeing that it, at best, reach the level of baronetcy, he declared his independence and claimed it as his territory. Luxon now follows him around as a levitating gray camera.

Before entering the academy, he's surprised to find out that he will be entering the advanced class despite being the third son of a lesser noble. His father explains that this is due to him finding multiple treasures, and lost items, as well as an island and that he will be the baron of his own house after graduation. Leon complains about being in the advanced class, considering the women in that class as "minefields".

At the school welcoming party, he meets Daniel, Raymond, and Dukul, who explain to him how well known he is. At the assembly the next morning, he overhears a girl mention waiting for the princes. Looking at her, he feels a sudden rush of anger, which he cant understand the reason for.

Leon stays in the background for a few weeks. While planning a tea party with Daniel and Raymond, they see a small argument between Angelica and Julian, centered around Marie. Throughout the argument, Leon comes to realize that Marie has somehow been taking the place of Olivia in the original game.

Later, Leon is pacing out in etiquette class and gets called out by the teacher. the teacher then asked Leon to come down to help him demonstrate a proper tea ceremony. After the demonstration, Leon is blown away and moved by his teacher's gentlemanly behavior and accepts the man as his master. Later that day, he invites the second daughter of a baron to participate in a tea ceremony his is holding, but the girl unexpectedly shows up with her friends and their servants. Despite his effort, the girls only considered his tea party a time-killer before they went to another party after eating most of his prepared sweets. Before he has time to clean up, he overhears the girls yelling from outside the room. He walks out just to see them walking away fro Olivia after ripping up an invitation to a tea party she had received. Feeling bad for Olivia, he decides to invite her to his own tea party. Olivia accepts and is much kinder and considerate then his previous guests. Olivia admits that she is having trouble in the academy, and Leon says he knows someone who can help. He approaches his sister Jenna, who tells them that Olivia should send a gift the the highest ranking member of their class to ask for a meeting. Leon begrudgingly agrees to pay for the gift.
