I’m Not the Final Boss’ Lover-Chapter 100

“When you attack dungeons later, you always take me with you. Level 50 or higher. Got it?”

“Pardon?”

“Is it hard? Still, or I won’t act like a lover. I need to gain something….”

“No… Is that really enough?”

I asked back awkwardly.

Of course, he was the one who always said that we should go to the dungeon together every day.

Axion jumped.

“What do you mean, enough? I’ve been looking forward to going to the dungeon with you, Jun!”

“You went to the dragon raid last time.”

“We weren’t in the same unit!”

I looked at him blankly as Axion suddenly broke out in frustration. To be honest, I wanted to know why he was doing that.

“Why are you so obsessed with going to the dungeon with me? I use magic to increase experience, but… Leveling up is not urgent.”

“Experience doesn’t matter.”

Axion shook his head determinedly. Then he continued to speak with dreamy eyes as if praising me.

“When I see you using magic, I’m inspired. You use magic in a completely different way from ordinary people, right, Jun? Watching you, I feel like I can glimpse a new world.”

It was really incomprehensible to me, the source of his inspiration. Just watching it from the side makes him realize something? This is why geniuses…

I shook my head.

If Axion was satisfied with that, there was no reason to refuse. I nodded quickly.

“Okay. Let’s make sure to break dungeons together later.”

“Good! Let’s do it for a day from today!”

Axion smiled and shouted vigorously.

He was so happy to have confirmed the dungeon attack, he didn’t know the corners of my mouth would go down.

“No. We should pretend that we’ve known each other for a long time, so people won’t be bothered.”

I shook my head solemnly. Axion also nodded his head in a plausible rhythm.

“Hm… So how many days have we been together today?”

“Hm… 6 months should be good.”

“6 months… Hmm. Good. Sevi is a wizard at the moment, so I got close to him after getting relevant advice.”

“I think it’s a reasonable probability.”

I put my head together with Axion and firmly piled up lies about our relationship.

Why at that moment? What Robur said as if she was spilling came to mind.

<If you go out with another man, keep it a secret from His Excellency. His Excellency would secretly kill that man.>

…Would he do the same to Axion?

He’s a key striker of the Black Knights, the Flame Mage.

Losing Axion is a huge loss to the expedition.

Meyer couldn’t be like that.

I tried to make up my mind by rationalizing like that.

However, I couldn’t help it as much as the cold sweat flowing down my spine.

I swallowed the cold sweat over my neck like that.

***

Meyer Knox paced the parlor here and there, which was so gorgeous that it rivaled the emperor’s parlor that had been brought out from the imperial palace.

August, who had been brought in at Meyer’s sudden call, sat in moderation on a sofa in the parlor and silently watched his boss’s journey.

Meyer was in that state from the moment August entered the parlor.

He was in a state where he couldn’t control his overflowing anger and was venting it all over the place.

To be honest, just being in the same space was oppressive. August swallowed his saliva.

After going back and forth for a long time, he stood tall in the middle of the room. Then, he fidgeted with a voice full of energy.

“How dare they try to court the Vice Commander of the Black Knights?”

Oh, it was about sister Jun.

Only then could August understand the identity of excessive anger that was not like Meyer.

Meyer Knox was a cold and strict superior, but when it came to Jun, he would react unusually emotionally.

He was always calm, but with matters related to Jun, he always fluttered like hot lava.

August didn’t attend the banquet, so he didn’t know the situation, but it was enough to guess how it would have gone.

Suddenly, she was the number two of the Black Knights that had fallen from the sky. If Jun didn’t want to get tangled up with Meyer as she usually did…

All the unmarried young men would have tried to stick to her.

However, Meyer was a man who, by his own admission, could not see any such power and appeal in the position of emperor.

So it was inconceivable that they would stick with Jun for a seat in the Grand Duchy at a later date.

Perhaps that was why, to Meyer, it only seemed as if all of them stalking Jun were trying to extract personnel or information from her.

And that was something that Meyer should be angry at both of them for.

“You may have a crush on Jun. She’s attractive. But if you’re trying to use her to extract information about the Black Knights, or even to extract her herself, then… You’re a wicked person!”

“There is no way. Sister Jun is not the kind of person who would unravel information so easily. She won’t make an irrational decision just because she’s curious.”

August calmly refuted.

From the standpoint of seeing how Jun rolled such a cute special unit, there was nothing more ridiculous than Meyer’s words.

In Meyer’s eyes, she looked like a hamster or a rabbit, but in reality, she was a lioness who would throw her own child off a cliff.

Unaware of August’s thoughts, Meyer made his own interpretation.

“She’s not good at rejecting others. She’s very receptive and nice. That’s why it’s a problem. If she gets involved with a weirdo…”

She’s not good at rejecting others? She’s nice?

August was further convinced that the Jun that Meyer saw was different from the Jun that he knew.

It was one of two things.

Sister Jun’s actions in front of Meyer are different or Meyer’s eyes were strange.

If it were in the past, he would have thought it was the former, but after experiencing several incidents in a year, he was convinced that it would be the latter.

Maybe there was something different in the eyes of the Black Knight.

August tried to stop Meyer, covering this up as if he didn’t know.

“Your Excellency, calm down.”

“Calm down? It sounds like I was agitated.”

“…I think you’re agitated.”

He really didn’t know what state he was in, did he? August looked at Meyer dubiously.

Meanwhile, Meyer, who had made up his mind, murmured decisively.

“I can’t do anything about it.”

“Then.”

“I should issue a public notice to the rest of the expeditions. If we see them approaching Jun, we’ll deal with them under the Black Knights’ internal discipline.”

Could they be dealt with reasonably if they used the internal discipline of the Black Knights as an excuse?

August had his doubts too, but he didn’t dare to ask. He was sure he’d use force anyway.

He was sure she would be able to figure out what’s going on.

August hinted, reading Meyer’s countenance.

“… Sister won’t like it. If she finds out later on…”

“Of course, she’ll get angry at first. But if I explain it, Jun will understand everything. She is always reasonable, and in the end, she will share her intentions with me.”

“Is that the sister you know, Your Excellency? I don’t think she’s the sister I know.”

August couldn’t bear it and brought up the words that had been lingering in his mouth so far.

Oh no. August closed his mouth, but it was too late.

Sure enough, Meyer was furious.

“Are you saying that you know Jun better than me?”

The tip of the sword that had earlier been directed at the rest of the expeditions was now directed at August.

Still, August was the High Priest of the Black Knights.

He continued to speak relatively nonchalantly despite Meyer’s anger.

“No way. I just didn’t think it was a very good idea. The more you do that, the more you are mistaken for a strange relationship with sister. Doesn’t sister Jun hate that sort of thing?”

“…What’s wrong with a boss taking care of their subordinates.”

Meyer was bumpy as if he didn’t want to admit it. However, inside, he also seemed to accept it.

“It’s a problem because you only take care of sister. Is your subordinate only sister?”

“…”

Meyer, who had nothing to say, kept his mouth shut. After such lip-smacking distress, Meyer asked August.

“Then, do you have any other options?”

“Tsk.”

Of course, August didn’t have any strange ideas about this.

August did not know why he was knee-to-knee with Meyer.

What was the sight of the leader of the Black Knights and the main priest butting heads and worrying about how to deal with the men who were involved with the Vice Commander…

In addition, both of them have a history of being misunderstood as Jun’s lover, so it became quite strange.

Come to think of it, it was the first time he had such a misunderstanding.

Because she was a girl?

However, he had never been misunderstood like this even though he’s been with other female members, like Robur, or Umbra, the leader of the Green Brigade.

Was it because she is a supporting wizard?

Since her ability was not recognized by others, it was a misunderstanding that many people usually thought that her success included something other than ability.

Thinking like that, it was also a pity. This was because August saw her as a really outstanding expedition member.

“Damn it, I can’t lock Jun up… and I can’t stay with her. As expected, taking care of the other guys is the best way to go through…”

Meyer groaned. He said so, but without Jun’s objection, he seemed unwilling to execute it.

August, who couldn’t hear Meyer’s words to himself, uttered.

“If you’re so concerned, just attach a person to her.”

He realized he made a mistake belatedly after he said it, but it was already spilled water.

Meyer’s face turned bright on the sudden path.

“Yeah. I’ll have to. August. I’ll ask you to do me a favor.”

“…”
