Can’t remember the name of this webcomic!

The story is very similar to your typical “Villainess” genre webcomic, except the protagonist is a male. He wakes up one day as a side character in a novel who gets beaten up by the Hero for being an asshole. The series is still ongoing but so far he hires the Hero as a bodyguard, befriends two animal spirits, and frees a baby dragon that looks a lot like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. He has red hair, the Hero has black or brown hair.

Is it this one? I haven't read too far into the manga but it sounded rather familiar. This is my first time trying to find a series like this, so sorry if its not what you're looking for.
