I’m Not the Final Boss’ Lover

Chapter 124



It was a heartbreaking question, but it was all within the upper range.

It would have been rather strange if Deca, one of the most skilled archers in the expedition, hadn’t noticed.

Fabian answered flatly.

“Oh. I got into a quarrel with another expedition on my way here.”

“That’s why you’re late?”

Deca clicked his tongue low and closed the book. Then he looked at Fabian seriously and added with concern.

“Don’t make me stand up so much. You never know when, where, or how you’ll meet, and it’s never good to be pestered for no reason.”

“Okay. I won’t do that from now on.”

Fabian nodded gently.

“Yeah. You must be feeling uneasy and distracted…. Let’s sleep now.”

“Okay.”

Decca, who was deceived by Fabian’s natural acting, lay in bed without knowing anything and slept.

Fabian, who got to bed one step later, looked out the window. The moonlight was exceptionally bright today. As if to reveal his sins.

Fabian tried to cover himself with the blanket as if he didn’t know.

It was not until his vision was covered with darkness that he could relax.

I dug up the dirt and before too long April’s face appeared, completely white. Gritting my teeth, I rushed to brush away the dirt that had spilled on her face.

I tried to pull April out of the hollow, but she was dug deeper than I thought and it was not easy to pull her out.

“Wait.”

Meyer stepped up. For me, the hard work, like pulling out a tree by the root, was easier for him than pulling out a radish.

Meyer laid April on the ground. April still couldn’t come to her senses.

I immediately looked at the status window to see what was going on. April’s strength was still intact, but she was still unconscious.

I asked August in concern.

“Are you sure she’s okay? Why won’t she come to her senses?”

“Body damage and mental damage are separate. She’ll get herself together in a little while.”

I let out a low sigh of relief. As August said, it wasn’t long before April’s eyelashes trembled

“April, are you okay?”

“… Jun.”

April opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes were still hazy as if they had not escaped from helplessness. It was then that I finally felt completely at ease.

“It’s been detoxifying, but it’s going to be hard to move right away because of the aftereffects.”

“I know.”

April couldn’t even nod her head and just let her lips quiver.

I smiled bitterly at the sight of her. I’m glad I took precautions just in case.

When we parted after the dungeon attack, I had an uneasy feeling and hurriedly grabbed April to warn her.

April didn’t like it. She didn’t seem to want to doubt Fabian that much.

However, she nodded that she would do what I said in the end because I was forced to insist.

Thanks to that, I was able to meet April before she left.

Everything seemed to be going away simply, but I couldn’t easily believe it.

I could have called it doubt sickness. There’s a saying that you have to knock on a stone bridge before you cross it.

I asked April carefully.

April was alarmed by my repeated and inexplicable requests. She had a faint suspicion that I was trying to take advantage of her.

Even I thought it was a gentle attitude like a scammer doing voice phishing.

I wanted to tell her it was okay if she didn’t like it that much, but I had a feeling that Fabian would continue to try to find a way.

I didn’t give up and persuaded April. It was not until I swore to St. Marianne that I could accept her as a party member.

‘That’s a relief.’

I really didn’t know if Fabian would try to kill her.

What I used on April was「Holy Devotion.」

Holy Devotion was not omnipotent, and there were several conditions.

Due to the requirement that it can only be used within the same party members, I was forced to let April join the party and transfer her damage to the other party members.

Of course, I tried to designate myself as the person to be transferred, but Meyer and August jumped when they heard the story.

Meyer was so violent that it was a lie that he had ever been obedient. He was really fickle.

I asked back awkwardly.

Meyer looked at me curiously.

Rationally, it was the right choice. Meyer would not be intimidated by Fabian’s current attack power, even if it was fatal.

However, I felt uncomfortable and uneasy putting Meyer forward. A corner of my chest tensed up strangely and uncomfortably.

What was more frustrating was that I had no idea why…

Still, as the leader of our expedition, was it appropriate to be swept away and hurt by what I had done?

I thought long and hard but could not get a clear answer.

No matter how much I tried to explain my discomfort, August and Meyer were deaf to it.

In any case, I had no choice but to accept reason and logic and decided that Meyer would be my designate.

And the three sat in Meyer’s drawing room and waited for the time to come. Rather, I hoped that dawn would rise without anything going on.

Meyer calmly suggested.

As long as Fabian attacked dungeons, he was a necessary evil for Meyer. That’s probably why he kept him alive even though he was a thorn in his eye…

Now Fabian seemed to have been so irritating that even such beliefs were covered for a while.

She’s still on guard now… No matter how attached she was to Fabian, it was definitely not a good choice for us to ride out and kill him. Once again I emphasized.

Meyer said as if it were annoying.

At Meyer’s coercion, I breathed a low sigh.

With Meyer and August, April may not be eye-catching, but the position of the main healer of the main party was not given to anyone.

We carried August around now, but as the party grew bigger, healers needed one more decent backup.

In the meantime, the moment that I waited for and did not wait for arrived.

As soon as Fabian’s blade penetrated April’s abdomen, the wound was conveyed to Meyer.

The moment I saw the blood trickling from Meyer’s abdomen, I regretted that maybe I had made the wrong choice.

Of course, Meyer was calm about the pain of being stabbed. He was fine, but… My heart, watching him, was not.

Injuries to expedition members in dungeons are more frequent than I thought, so I was used to them. It wasn’t something I should be in such a hurry about, but I couldn’t help but feel my heart sink.

No matter how good the treatment would be, would it be worth the pain it would cause Meyer?

At this moment, I couldn’t nod in agreement at all.

Apart from the fact that my mind was in turmoil, August treated Meyer well.

However, blood was constantly flowing from his wounds, as the cause of his injury was not here.

August, who saw the color of blood, muttered quietly.

Meyer clicked his tongue in disgust.

The word “poison” made me change my state in a panic. In spite of Holy Devotion, April’s strength was slowly waning.

I had to save April first.

I decided to fold up the complicated emotions that were plaguing my mind again and focus on what I needed to do right now.

We rushed to the place where the party window appeared, but April was not there.

It didn’t take long to recall that she would be buried.

As a result of such a hurry, I was able to save April safely.

April came to her senses, but she was still out of it. She murmured blankly with a hazy face due to the aftermath of the poison.

“I really… I guess I got the wrong person.”
