CHAPTER 5

He spoke in a friendly voice, and he was a long way from my head.

"Let's go back to the base and talk about the details of the Demon King attack."

"… Is there any time to adjust?"

"I believe in your ability to adapt."

"I don't know what you believe so much about me…"

"You're reliable if you participated in the Demon King War as a support class."

"It looks like I was abandoned in the second round."

"That's because Fabian Ignis is stupid."

His voice sounded strangely cheerful.

I never thought I'd stand side by side with Meyer and curse Fabian.

This made me really think I was a part of the Black Knights rather than the Fabian expedition.

I met with bitterness and self-help.

"I know. He was so stupid."

CHAPTER 2. I'm With the Black Knights Now.

"Now, this is Jun Karentia, who has joined our Black Knights."

"Hello, I'm Jun Karentia, the supporting wizard…"

I bowed down. The eyes of the Black Knights dressed in black uniforms and armor were on me.

Their faces were all interwoven with absurdity and devastation.

Although we attacked the dungeon together, the joining of the Black Knights was one thing.

A stranger suddenly encountered in the dungeon joined the Black Knights!

It was understandable that they were puzzled because it would be the first time they had seen such a first time seeing.

However, it was only hitting from the gaze.

There was no one who dared to be courageous enough to fill their curiosity ahead of Meyer.

Every time Meyer strode, the people parted like Moses' miracle.

I swallowed my saliva and caught a glimpse of that Meyer.

'He's really handsome.'

Even when playing the game at the beginning of the release, they were all looking for the possibility of Meyer's recruitment because he was handsome.

However, Meyer was an unsolicited character, and many lamented the fact.

'At first, I didn't know that Meyer was the final boss of the true ending.'

Meyer raised his voice.

"Axion!"

"Yes, sir!"

A weak, scholarly handsome man wearing glasses, with a curled red hair down to one side, came quickly.

The magical energy that you can feel just by looking at his hair. It was the Fire Wizard, Axion Plama.

He was also a celebrity, if not as much as Meyer. He was a key figure in the Black Knights' team, who could not follow fire magic.

"I hope you take good care of her, as she's a life-and-death colleague."

"That means, she's the main force of the expedition…"

"Yeah. She is a talent who will be the vice commander of the Black Knights."

"Vice… Commander?"

Axion's eyes were wide open with astonishment. And my eyes were wide open with him.

I snapped at Meyer and bit him.

"Wait. Vice Commander?"

"Gasp!"

Axion jumped up and down with more surprise than before. Did I do something wrong?

But before asking so, Meyer replied.

"Didn't I say I would treat you the best?"

Meyer responded and laughed as if it were natural. But it wasn't a problem that could easily be overlooked.

It wasn't the vice commander, but the vice commander level! There is a subtle difference!

I just thought that he would only be nice to me, and not give real power…

Meyer sighed, as if he had noticed the signs of stirring.

"Everyone is eager to become the vice commander of the Black Knights, but you don't seem like it."

"I know my place well."

So I begged Meyer to step back, but he had the cheek to say.

"But if you're a vice commander, you'll be treated more heavily than you are in the history books… But if you don't like it."

"Okay, I'll do it, vice commander.."

Meyer pinpointed my carrot point. I answered with a grain of salt if Meyer would bite.

Meyer laughed loudly.

I must have looked domineering on the Buddha's palm, being influenced by the words he said. Huh!

Axion stared blankly at such Meyer and my talk. He didn't think I'd shut my mouth.

Meyer smoothed his chin satisfactorily.

"Okay. I got a definite answer.. Axion, please explain about the Black Knights until we return to the base."

"… Yes!"

Axion answered sharply with a voice full of discipline. Even so, he looked at me with a glance.

As soon as he notified Axion, Meyer looked back at me and added in a relaxed voice.

"Well, Jun, I'll go get the results of this dungeon. Ask Axion what you want to know."

As soon as I nodded, Meyer turned around and disappeared.

Axion looked at Meyer's back and me alternately with eyes full of astonishment.

"Wow…. I've never seen Your Excellency do that."

"Well, it's not an ordinary appointment."

"No, other than that, no, of course it's weird, but…."

Axion was talking gibberish. It seemed that he couldn't understand Meyer's actions.

"You just touched Your Excellency, and he didn't say anything."

"… Is that so amazing?"

I suddenly became the vice commander, but is holding onto his arm more serious than that?

Axion began to engross himself in his own thoughts, leaving me out.

"He'd look contemptuously, or he'd throw the arm away… Besides, he made a joke…"

"Hey, Axion?"

"Well, it's exceptional that he chose an expedition member in the first place. It's definitely worth it when you look at efficiency… We've lost two-thirds of our time in the dungeon."

Axion muttered to himself, falling into a world of his own.

The appearance of him moving back and forth between reality denial and recognition did not seem like he was in his right mind.

I hesitated without realizing it, and Axion, who belatedly came to his senses, welcomed me with a big smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's just a little confusing because it's not common."

"… Just in case, I didn't ask him to accept me as a Black Knight. Your Excellency suggested it first."

I answered back by recalling the story I had with Axion in the dungeon.

Axion objected to joining me alone in the dungeon.

It was because it was suspicious, and if I wanted to be a black knight, it would be very troublesome.

However, Meyer strongly insisted on joining.

'I should have noticed something strange since then…'

But it is too late to regret.

Axion kept picking on me while breaking the dungeon.

I, who was annoyed by it, eventually made 'St. Marianne's oath' to Axion.

It was the absolute vow of the wizards that they would never ask to be accepted as the Black Knights.

Of course, I have never asked him to accept me as a black knight.

Meyer did.

"Ah, the oath you swore to St. Marianne. I should apologize. I was sorry then."

It was a quick turn of events. At this point, it was surprising.

I replied with a shameless nod.

"Well… That's possible. I know what it is like to look at a support type wizard."

"But by meeting you, I realized how helpful a support-type wizard is. Thank you for expanding my narrow insights, Jun. Please call me Axion. I'm responsible for the long-range attack of the Black Knight 1st army. "

Axion then reached out his hand. It was a handshake for reconciliation.

I looked at the hand with emotionally moved eyes.

Meyer's faithful right-hand man was very unhappy with the Fabian expedition getting more and more successful in the first round and going up and down like Meyer.

Since they were busy closing each other's dungeons, there was no occasion to encounter each other often, but whenever they encountered each other, there was always a loud noise.

'Looking at me, I ignored him, asking if there was a support type magician in the expedition.'

Anyway, he didn't have a good personality… He was mean.

As much as he did, I thought he was going to add more.

But I couldn't help but wonder how he was so willing to welcome me.

As the dealer next to Meyer, there was nothing bad about being in a good relationship.

I smiled lightly and held his hands together.

"I look forward to your kind cooperation."

"There's no question that you were exceptionally sensitive in this dungeon. This time you were in charge of the dungeon command and was tested by the commander. But since the beginning of the dungeon, there were variables…"

I don't really care about the commander Meyer, but I thought Axion would step up and crack down on me.

"Did I ruin the evaluation?"

"No, you gave me a very good evaluation. Thank you."

The bending eyes were smeared with goodwill. It was rather embarrassing to acknowledge my ability more simply than I thought.
