I’m Not the Final Boss’ Lover

Chapter dlc7

However, it was not easy for everyone to sneak a look.

“I’ve already got a person in charge of the estate. I don’t have to study.”

Axion replied condescendingly. He’s smart anyway. I doubted if he was lying to save himself from this position.

“’Who is it?’

“Began. He’s a bit of an administrator.”

“I don’t think I agreed.”

As soon as Axion spoke, Began that had been missing a step to the side puffed out in frustration. But Axion didn’t care and smiled and waved his hand.

“Hahaha, joking too. Ginia will be in charge of security in my territory. And…”

“In short, you mean that you will mobilize all the Red Wolf troops as labor for the development of your territory.”

Ginia sighed and added.

When the Red Wolf troop’s reaction was unusual, Axion finally turned around in confusion.

“Why do you all look so unhappy? I’m paying you a lot of money?”

“It’s not about the money, it’s about having to keep going after the captain.”

“Still, you’ve gotten used to it.”

“Getting used to it is such a terrible thing!”

Began shuddered with a strange sound.

Well, I can’t help it with Axion, who has the manpower to be useful. I have no choice but to give up.

Then let’s aim for the trio who don’t have their own troops. When I looked back at the trio with a smile, Nova and Sevi quickly turned their heads and avoided eye contact.

Wow, no loyalty.

As expected, Julieta is the only one to believe in. I looked at Julieta when I was happy, but she just smiled awkwardly.

“I’ve got Robur……”

“Everyone doesn’t want to study, traitors.”

I murmured angrily. Meyer, who was listening quietly, carefully looked at me and added.

“You and they have different curricula anyway, so you can’t take classes together.”

“’That’s not the point. It’s just that I don’t want to study alone.”

I grumbled angrily at Meyer’s response to the context-blindness. Then I looked back at the children earnestly.

“Can’t you study with me since everyone doesn’t need a wedding gift?”

“Haha.”

“Hahaha… What do you want?”

They wouldn’t say they would study even if they died. Giving up, I sighed deeply with my hands upon my hips.

Then Julieta opened her mouth as if she had suddenly remembered something. However, as if she had made a mistake late, she blurted out the end of the sentence.

“Oh, yes, Vice Commander. Later on… Oh, no.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t want to tell you on such a good day…“

There was anxiety and embarrassment on Julieta’s face. But it didn’t matter at all, I waved my hand out.

“No, it’s okay.”

If I had to say, I was the type of person who didn’t care much about packing seaweed soup in a lunch box to an exam room.

It wasn’t until I repeatedly said it was okay that Julieta said carefully.

“Can you lend me that mental wizard later? I’m afraid my parents are going to be a bit of a nuisance.”

However, it was a bit of a disaster to deal with it physically, Julieta added with a slight smile.

“Of course.”

Agreeing fully with her mind, I nodded a little louder.

Thus the banquet, which I don’t know if it was a wedding reception or a title ceremony launch, proceeded until late in the evening.

The other members of the expedition were also happy to think over their knighthoods and territories again and again.

Nova introduced me to his family. They were so much alike that you did not have to ask where Nova’s firmness came from.

They bowed their heads and said that they were worried that Nova might have caused trouble. I roused them and told them how well Nova had done in the battle against the Demon King.

Then, surreptitiously poking Nova in the side, I whispered.

“You said she looked like me, your sister.”

“Not that you look alike on the outside…”

Nova smiled shyly. After a few moments of wondering where to begin, Nova became cautious.

“My sister is the matriarch of my family. When my father limped, she took responsibility for everything by herself. My sister piggybacked me and raised me too. That way, after my head grew a little bit, I knew I had to do something for the family.”

That was exactly what it was like to join the Black Knights. Nova smiled as he revived the moment.

“It’s a gamble, honestly, isn’t it? An expeditionary force is… At first, she asked me if I was going to die or if I was crazy.”

“You were there to take the entrance exam.”

“After all, the day before I was to go to the exam to join the Black Knights, she gave me weapons and equipment as if she had given up. I had to take a sword as well, or I would fail the exam.”

Nova suddenly chuckled. I waited quietly for Nova to speak.

“I later found out that it had been bought for me with money from my sister’s wedding fund. In the first place, my family didn’t have enough money to buy the weapons in the first place.”

Nova’s gaze became nostalgic as he looked at his sister who was talking with Julieta. The water in Nova’s eyes smeared a little and quickly disappeared.

“It’s hard, but she doesn’t rely on those around her, she doesn’t say a word about being weak. Still, she reaches out every time for her brother who is lagging behind, just like you.”

“I think your sister is more amazing than me.”

I blurted out in admiration. It wasn’t just words in my mouth, but I meant it.

Nova changed the subject, touching his neck in embarrassment, feeling refreshed that he had confided the story he had been pushing to the back of his mind.

“Haha, I’m already going to pay back the borrowed wedding money a hundred, no, thousand times over. Only the Vice Commander’s wedding will be difficult, but we will still hold the wedding ceremony in a plausible manner…”

“If it is not enough to pay back 10,000 times, tell me as well. Because I have to pay her the honorarium for sending the Black Knights an excellent shield.”

I laughed loudly and hit Nova’s firm chest. Nova also smiled, unsure, and put his own big fist on mine.

As the two of us continued our conversation, Meyer’s eyes narrowed again as he talked with Axion and August from afar.

Anyway, he’s very sensitive.

But since it was a happy day, I decided to let Meyer’s rhythm match that of the new groom. I gave an exaggerated shrug.

“Ugh, the Commander’s eyes are utter ax eyes, ax eyes.”

“Haha. I think we’ve reached the edge of the proximity gauge. Well, we did talk for a long time. I’m used to that now.”

Nova laughed as if he understood. Just then Nova’s family called Nova. It was God’s timing.

“Well then, I’ll be on my way.”

As soon as Nova gave a brief silent bow and vacated his position, Sevi interrupted with a flourish.

“What were you talking about?”

“About Nova’s family. He said his sister had a hard time.”

“Aha.”

Sevi nodded his head.

Come to think of it, the biggest worry in the special unit was Sevi.

Nova has a family, and Julieta has Robur. It was impossible not to be concerned about Sevi being alone in a Grand Duchy at such a young age.

Sevi stared at Nova and his family and muttered to himself.

“Nova is lucky to have a family.”

“Yes. Still, it’s a relief. Anasta and Jeanne will go with you.”

At least I wasn’t the only one who had such concerns.

Anasta was worried about Jeanne and Sevi, who were still young, and requested that Jeanne and herself be assigned to a territory that belonged to the Grand Duchy of Sevi. It seemed that she would probably be there all the time, watching and helping.

Sevi mumbled something to himself for no apparent reason.

“You don’t have to treat me like a child.”

“We’re not treating you like a child, we help each other. Anasta and Jeanne can count on you to be there for them.”

“Hmph.”

Sevi snorted, but he didn’t seem to mind.

While Sevi wanted to be treated like an adult, it was not easy for adults to welcome the idea of actually being away from home alone and left in an unfamiliar place. Especially if he had been with the Black Knights for several years.

Besides, there was no guarantee that no one would try to take advantage of Sevi due to becoming a grand duke at such a young age. For this reason, I was very pleased with Anasta’s proposal.

Sevi asked suspiciously with a mumbling voice.

“Didn’t the Vice Commander make her do it?”

“Me? To Anasta?”

“Anasta is blind to the Vice Commander.”

Sevi was certainly right. I don’t know whether the root of this was devotion or loyalty, but Anasta had some blind faith in me.

My guess is that she could not forgive herself for believing that Fabian was a hero’s timber. This reaction manifested itself as blind obedience to me.

But Sevi’s matters had nothing to do with me. I shook my head.

“Not at all. If Anasta hadn’t said she’d go with you, I wouldn’t stick Anasta to you, but I’d force you to stay in the castle until you became an adult.”

“Then I should thank Anasta.”

“No, you don’t want to study that much?”

“The Vice Commander made the dungeon study inherently rigorous.”

Sevi chuckled.

So it’s my karmic reward after all. I sighed as if I had no choice.

At that moment, Sevi lowered his voice as much as he could, looking at the faces of the people around him, and whispered,

“By the way, Vice Commander, His Excellency was checking to see how much holy water is left, but I think you should know.”

“Thank you, Sevi.”

It really helped me to guess what was going to happen. I made up my mind to let Sevi’s credit go high and let him be free from his studies.
