<…>

<It’s my first time kissing, but I’m mistaken that I’ve done it so many times? Nonsense!>

Meyer shouted in exasperation, but Jun pretended not to know, her mouth clenched like a clam.

<… I think it’s because you’re good at everything you do with your body, Commander. Don’t get any ideas.>

He was good at everything he does with his body, and he could often tell the difference between something he was good at from the start and something he was not.

But after saying that a few times, Jun just shook her head.

Thinking she was in a tight spot, she pushed Meyer away and said once and for all.

<And today’s incident is an exception. Don’t kiss me like this next time. I won’t do it either.>

<Jun!>

Meyer called out to her, but Jun did not care and took advantage of the opportunity to run away at once.

Meyer chased after her, but it was after she was already far away.

Her long gray hair, flying in the dark corridor, remained in his vision like a silver universe.

Jun repeatedly denied that anything had happened, but Meyer didn’t believe her.

Her blank expression, and the vivid feeling left in her body…

Made Meyer’s conviction stronger and stronger. Surely they had kissed before.

But… When exactly?

“I can’t remember at all.”

Meyer remained alone in the office where Jun left and ruffled his hair.

Ever since he was born he remembered clearly what he saw and heard.

The scornful stares of his parents, their exclusive behavior as if they would be cursed by him if he touched them even a little…

But the kiss with Jun remained as faint as a dream.

It was dim and hazy, as if it would soon dissipate if only he did not concentrate.

This made him even more curious to know the truth.

“But Jun will never tell me either.”

Maybe if he persistently asked, she would let him know as if she gave up.

But he wasn’t happy about it either.

It was because Jun didn’t know Meyer was so persistent and tenacious, and it would be a big deal if she hated such a man, saying he was unattractive.

Just thinking about it made his whole body go cold as if a blade had grown near his heart. It was not terrible, it was hopeless.

Meyer tried to shake off his silly thoughts and remember something pleasant to feel a little better.

It wasn’t going to be easy.

People without gold in their hands didn’t have to worry about losing it, but once they had it, things would change.

He was so happy at that moment when Jun accepted him that he didn’t want to do anything that Jun hated.

He didn’t think that falling in love with someone would be something that would make him so trepidatious.

Even the slightest tone of voice or gesture of the other person’s hand bothered him…

But there was a certain fullness of joy in it.

Every time Meyer acted to Jun’s liking, she would involuntarily bend her eyes and smile.

Meyer was willing to adjust to her many times just to see her smile.

If anyone saw him like that, the reputation of the Black Knight would be ruined, but Meyer could let go as much as he wanted.

However, he couldn’t help but feel a tightening pain in his heart.

Of course, Jun had told him that she liked him, too.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe her.

It was just that he knew for sure that her love and his love were not the same in size and weight.

He couldn’t imagine all the happiness in his life without Jun, but Jun would be happy enough without having to be so sure.

Meyer couldn’t stand the sight of her getting even a little close to someone else, but he also knew very well that it was all pointless. It was impossible for him to monopolize her.

He knew that, but he couldn’t resist…

Unknowingly, soaring jealousy burned in Meyer.

Jun looked at and understood all of such annoying self.

But that was not because Jun liked him, but because he was useful.

He was the strongest being as the head of the Black Knights, so she needed him to achieve the purpose of defeating the Demon King…

If so, then… What if peace comes after defeating the Demon King?

He wondered if she would be so generous as to forgive him for his brash and annoying jealousy.

Jun was a kind person with a lot of compassion. So she wouldn’t abandon him any time soon… She would probably try to stay by his side because of his love.

He had a memorandum with Jun as if it were a Bible, but that wasn’t enough to loosen him up. He needed more other safeguards.

Therefore, all Meyer could do now was to defeat the Demon Lord and save up the maximum number of good deeds before he became useless to her.

Don’t bother Jun with jealousy, don’t do anything she doesn’t like…

Then maybe someday, she would like him as much as he liked her.

So he was really surprised when Jun kissed him, and at the same time, he was nervous that she might like him even more than he guessed…

Meyer’s hand smoothed his lips as if he were fumbling with happiness.

It was hot as if the heat from the moment he’d locked lips with Jun was still there.

Her lips carved her name into Meyer’s heart like a brand.

The moment he touched Jun, the elation of that moment when she assured him that she didn’t hate him…

But as if to mock himself, a sense of deja vu came over him that he could not recall.

‘It’s already after she kissed me… Why is she keeping it a secret that we’ve kissed in the past? Of course, there may be circumstances, but… If she explains it, I would understand.’

She was too difficult and complicated…

Then, he remembered another idea. He couldn’t understand why he couldn’t remember it.

It was as if the accident was biased only towards Jun, and he hadn’t been able to see the surrounding area yet.

He didn’t remember himself, and Jun was definitely not going to tell him. Then why didn’t he just find someone else?

That’s right… Like August.

He kept him on Jun from the beginning, so he might know something about Jun that he didn’t know.

Meyer, who found the way, immediately called August. There was no delay.

***

“It looks like I did something bad to Jun, could it be…”

Meyer opened his heavy mouth.

While he actually called for August, he had a hard time opening his mouth to ask anything.

He couldn’t blatantly ask about kissing Jun.

If he was really as mistaken as Jun said…

Even because of that possibility, he had no choice but to ask around.

“I don’t remember at all. But I definitely remember…”

Meyer’s forehead showed the line of his frustration.

In the middle of the launch, August was brought in and listened to Meyer’s story without hesitation.

From the moment August was summoned by Meyer, he had roughly guessed the circumstances that would welcome him, so he could not be too embarrassed.

After all, it was all about Sister Jun.

And his prediction was accurate.

“Jun won’t tell me. Do you have any idea?”

Of course. August immediately noticed what Meyer was saying.

He thought it would be revealed to the surface someday.

You can’t cover the sky with your palm.

There was a limit to how long one could hide the truth, and it was only a matter of time before Meyer found out.

August cried out in a low voice with a sigh.

“I see you’ve finally noticed.”

“As expected, you knew!”

Meyer’s expression changed mysteriously.

The joy of finally being able to know what he was curious about and the subtle displeasure that August knew something about Jun he didn’t know were mixed.

However, Meyer tried to erase such feelings and welcomed August’s words.

August opened his mouth with a sigh.

“Yes. Your Excellency hurt sister….”

“I kissed Jun… What?”

“Pardon? Kiss?”

“No, that’s not it. Who got hurt?”

Their confused glances passed each other. Meyer and August both realized that they had made a firm mistake.

And the enormous wavelength of the opponent’s words.

“Your Excellency, did you kiss sister? It wasn’t forced, was it?”

“Let’s talk about the kiss later for now and talk about it again. I hurt Jun?”

He didn’t think it was something to talk about later. August’s forehead frowned.

But for such a protest, Meyer’s momentum was unusual.

His anger flared up visibly. It was obvious that he was going to hear the truth from August’s mouth.

Eventually, with a sigh, he confided what he knew and had seen for himself.

Meyer listened quietly to August’s story. Sparks flew in his eyes as he gritted his teeth.

“…that’s what happened.”

August caught a glimpse of Meyer’s mood.

Meyer’s face had turned cold when he learned the whole story. They say that when people get too angry, they become expressionless, and that’s what Meyer looked like right now.

Meyer suppressed his anger and asked.

“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

“The Vice Commander didn’t want me to reveal it.”

“Still!”

It would have eased Meyer’s anger a bit if he had been able to give a more reasonable explanation.

But August had no talent for that. He told Meyer the truth.

“And it was not necessary to reveal it to Your Excellency. I and the Vice Commander reached an agreement.”

At the end of August’s words, the boiling lava finally exploded.

Meyer exclaimed with anger with an active volcano-like momentum.

“Jun Karentia!!”
