I’m Not the Final Boss’ Lover

The tactless Nova kept on chattering without knowing it.

Come to think of it, when did she lose that arm? She’s a supporting wizard, so she wouldn’t have had to go ahead… It must have been quite painful.

The information that Axion had come to know did not include such details of the situation. Meyer kept his eyes on Jun and Nova as they talked. Somehow he couldn’t shake his eyes.

August, who was watching Meyer like that, asked implicitly.

“It looks like you’re paying attention.”

“Oh.”

Meyer slowly leaned his head back after August called out to him.

“Isn’t it amazing that she’s an elite supporting wizard?”

Meyer’s interest in Jun was not just because he was curious, but for other reasons that did not immediately come to mind.

Having defined his own disturbed true feelings in such a simple manner, Meyer added as if to excuse himself.

“I guess they used her with great care in the Fabian Expedition because they had some use for her. That’s why I was looking at her.”

“Useful… It didn’t seem that way.”

“Why do you think so?”

“She didn’t seem to be treated very well from what I saw in person.”

Meyer’s mouth involuntarily hardened. It was impossible for August not to notice such a sudden change in Meyer’s momentum.

The problem, however, was that he had no idea why Meyer was acting like that. August overturned his words a little perplexed.

“Come to think of it, I think I might have misunderstood. I saw it as I passed by.”

“…”

Meyer reflected on what he had seen in silence.

All the protective gear that did not fit the known level of protection was made, and there were scars all over her face as if she had not received timely treatment for her wounds.

Certainly far from the treatment a person with the ability to know information about the dungeon would receive….

Was he holding too high expectations for her abilities? Not long after, Meyer happened to see firsthand how she was treated by the Fabian Expedition.

Jun exclaimed frustratedly.

“What’s your problem when you have a choice of dungeons? We must conquer the Reikio Dungeon!”

“But the Reikio dungeon is an underwater dungeon. It’s not only dangerous because it conflicts with our main dealer, Fabian’s attribute! Why on earth would we want to go to that dungeon?”

Deca, the vice commander of the Fabian expedition, countered. Fabian stepped away and listened intently to their conversation, struggling with his arms crossed.

Inevitably, it seemed that the Fabian Expedition was in the middle of a debate about which dungeon to attack.

Meyer rolled his tongue.

‘Why are they exchanging opinions about dungeon strategy in a place like this?”

The place where they were fussing was the garden next to the cloister.

From the looks of it, they had been given a dungeon option, but they had better be careful, as it was the core, if not the top-secret, information of the expedition.

‘I feel like I’m a spy for no reason.’

Meyer was not happy, but that didn’t mean he could casually leave his position.

Not because he was concerned about what dungeon they would choose, but because he was concerned about what Jun Karentia was saying.

As a result, it became right that he was spying, but Meyer didn’t care.

Jun insisted on attacking the Reikio dungeon alone, but she looked so impatient that she didn’t have time to worry about the others’ eyes on her.

“I’m worried about the properties of the water, but you don’t have to do that. As long as I get to level 60…”

“Aha, it was to raise your level after all. No matter how desperate you are to raise your level, how can you send your colleagues to death?”

Meyer also agreed to some extent with Deca.

He was a little disappointed. Was it an argument to raise her level, not because she knew something…

“Jun, your dungeon participation rate has caused a lot of talk among the other members. You must realize the fact that Fabian is giving you a lot of preferential treatment out of consideration.”

“… It’s not like that. There’s not much experience left until level 60. I’ll have a new magic skill when I reach level 60.”

“No, you won’t! And do you think it will change that much just because you’ll be at the 60th level? A support type who doesn’t even fight monsters properly! And even if a new skill is created, isn’t it support magic?”

“…”

Deca had Jun cornered.

Jun tried to argue with him in any way, but in the end, she was unable to say anything and remained silent.

She sighed quickly and took a step back.

“It’s not to raise my level. Even if my level doesn’t go up… our expeditionary force level is good enough to conquer it right now.”

“How do you know that?”

April, the main healer of the Fabian expedition, who was listening attentively at that moment, added cautiously.

“Isn’t there a reason why Jun insists so many times…?”

“You’re the one who’s making all that reorganization, and that’s why she’s so stubborn!”

“But we’ve never had a bad time listening to Jun.”

“It was just because we were lucky and competent, April. It’s ever been bad, but it’s never been comfortable, has it? We’ve suffered to death, rolling on the floor.”

Deca and April argued. Jun spoke to Fabian, who had been watching their conversation closely without saying anything until then.

“Fabian. I’m really serious. You know I don’t say this all the time. Next time we have to conquer that dungeon.”

“…. We’re going to conquer the Akallo dungeon, Jun.”

“Fabian!”

“Calm down and think about it. Your proposal is too reckless.”

Fabian patted Jun gently on the shoulder as he said this and slipped past Jun and out of the yard.

Deca followed Fabian as he did so. April looked at Jun with regretful eyes, but she too did not remain by Jun’s side.

April and Deca’s grumbling voices grew farther and farther.

“You’re so mean, both of you.”

“Calm down, it’s a decision made for the expedition. You’re so determined for others, but why are you so adamant for her?”

“That’s…”

Jun bit her lip regretfully as she watched their backs. They were on the same expedition, but there seemed to be an uncrossable river between them.

Jun stayed there for a while until she got up from her seat, and Meyer kept looking at Jun’s back, which was drooping.

Then, as if possessed by something, Meyer returned to the office and asked to obtain the right to attack the Reikio dungeon, which Jun said they would still attack.

Axion was confused by Meyer’s unexpected order, but he, who was competent, followed the order.

And in the dungeon, Meyer was able to obtain artifacts that increased his attribute resistance.

Axion was happy.

“With this, I don’t have to worry about shields, and I can shoot my magic flat and wild.”

“That’s a terrible idea, Axion… Is this the kind of idea a human being could have?”

Nova sighed, the party that had been balls of fire going back and forth over his head. Axion giggled and held Meyer out as a shield.

“Our Commander would welcome it.”

“That’s what I thought too and sighed. I thought that no one would guarantee my human rights.”

As Meyer listened to the dialogue between Nova and Axion, the fact that Fabian was also a flame wizard suddenly came to his mind.

With an artifact like this, that one would be of great tactical use as well…

Did she also know what artifacts would be found in the dungeon?

But why not just reveal that fact as it was? If he were Fabian, he would fully trust and follow what she said…

Meyer recalled Jun looking blankly at Fabian’s back. Why? He couldn’t easily forget the particularly occluded figure.

The presence of Jun Karentia, who gave way to Meyer’s brain in such a way, was greatly engraved in his mind.

But it was after the results debriefing was over and everyone had scattered to their own bases.

Everyone in the Black Knights, including Meyer, pushed forward with the dungeon attack, and as such, he seemed to gradually forget about Jun.

However, every time they conquered a dungeon and were thwarted, Jun’s image would suddenly come to the surface.

If only she were with him, all these dead ends would be resolved in no time at all.

After all this time, the next year’s results briefing was approaching. Before going to the capital, Meyer stood firm on Nova.

“You must bring her to our expedition. Tell her she can have anything she wants.

“I understand. I will do my best. Still, we are quite close, so I think it is quite possible.”

Nova replied in a tone of conviction that was unlike him and then left the office.

It was a very encouraging attitude, but he wondered why… For Meyer, Nova’s friendly relationship with Jun Karentia was not very pleasant.

‘It’s not funny.’

If she was close to Nova and she would turn to the Black Knights, it would be very good for him.

Moreover, it was Meyer Knox, himself, who made him hang around with Jun as much as possible from the beginning.

Unable to grasp his own psychology, Meyer leaned back against the back of the sofa with a sigh.

Axion, who had been listening to the conversation between Nova and Meyer, asked in total incomprehension.

“Is she worth it?”

“My instincts tell me so.”

“Then it is accurate. Because the Commander’s instincts are extremely accurate in dungeon exploits.”

Axion broke a joke. Meyer smirked and pointed to the tropics where he drank alcohol to change the subject.

“Get me a drink.”

“Yes, yes.”

Axion bent excessively and quickly took out the two highest-looking liquors from Meyer’s liquor display table.
