Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 1Vol. 2 - .7 - The Advent Of The Immortal Fleet (7)

He then noticed that Nephira also had a serious expression on her face as she looked at him. Takashi swallowed hard at the tense atmosphere brought about by her seriousness.

He then noticed that Nephira also had a serious expression on her face as she looked at him. Takashi swallowed hard at the tense atmosphere brought about by her seriousness.

"Suzuki. Demon training is extremely tough. I'll give you one word of advice."

"Ah, yes!"

"If at any point during your training, you find yourself thinking 'This is too hard,' 'Maybe it's impossible,' or 'My head hurts today,' let me know right away! Feel free to take measures such as resting, non-attendance, or the like. And above everything, if you find yourself thinking, 'I just can't get over it,' or 'I knew it, it is still too tough,' then you can quit. That's all!"

(Wow, such a relaxed education!)

She may be overprotective as if spoiling a child, but still, with Nephira by his side, nothing seemed to be a big problem. Takashi felt relieved at this thought.

"Well then, bring Suzuki's luggage."

Nephira clapped her hands. Three demons carrying large leather bags marched in.

"T-That's a lot of luggage. It's only three nights and four days, right?"

"Most of it is your snacks."

"No, I don't need all this much food, though?"

"B-But… without your snacks, all your luggage will be reduced to be carried with one hand?"

"If that's the case, that's fine!"

"I see... But take at least a few candies with you."

"Candies, was it…!"

At the time Takashi was embarrassed, feeling that Nephira treated him as a toddler, skeleton soldiers hurriedly rushed in.

"Lady Nephira. The Commander of the Immortal Fleet, Lady Duma, has arrived from the Imperial City!" freewёbnoνel.com

"Wha…! They're already here!? Moreover, why is it Duma…!"

When Nephira heard it was Duma, her face changed color. The air around Nephira suddenly became tense. Seeing this situation, Takashi became anxious again.

(What in the world? What kind of demon is coming…?)

The door to the throne room opened with a loud "gigigi" click sound. At the end of the red carpet spread out in a straight line, the Commander of the Immortal Fleet of the Demon Lord's Army, Duma, wearing a black dress, stood in a slightly inclined position.

The Meru-Kiru sisters and all the other Thunder-Lance Charge demon soldiers within the king's throne room bowed their heads in unison. Takashi felt strange seeing the sight of the fierce-looking demons of the Thunder-Lance Charge kneeling before Duma, who had the physique of an elementary school girl.

In the midst of all this, Duma walked unsteadily and awkwardly. From a distance, she looked like a small and fragile girl, but upon closer inspection, you could see that her skin color was different in some places, as if they all had been pieced together. Her elbow joints revealed by the scant dress turned out to be spheres.

(A p-puppet doll demon! Come to think of it, she was at the campaign meeting!)

As Takashi looked at Duma, Duma also glanced at Takashi.

"Kike! Kiki ke ke ke!"

And then she laughed in a high-pitched voice. In her mouth, densely packed needle-like teeth could be seen.

(Eep–!? She is laughing at something after seeing me…!!)

Duma exchanged a few words with Nephira and then approached Takashi.

"Y-You are Suzuki, aren't you? I-I-I, Duma…"

Facing a puppet-doll demon that speaks in halting tones, Takashi was not at ease with its eeriness.

From this demon in front of him, he smelled something far more dangerous than ordinary demons—— and Takashi quickly made up his mind.

(All right! For the sake of the future, I'm going to give Pritis a shot!)

"Duma! Nice to meetcha!"

Takashi forced a smile and extended his right hand to Duma.

(Pritis's 48 Gestures—Fourth Gesture, 'Hands Clasping'!)

The moment Duma shook his hand, Takashi activated the "Pritis" gesture, one of the forty-eight gestures that enhances Takashi's cuteness taught by his teacher, Master Leelou.

(Cold–!)
