Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 2Vol. - .4 - The Slaves Of The Phantom Ship (4)

"A-At the speed of the Immortal Fleet, w-we'll be in the Imperial Capital tomorrow. G-Get some rest."

"Uh-huh."

Nephira replied to Duma without hesitation. Surprisingly, Duma went away peacefully.

In the corridor, individual compartment cabins lined up side by side. Next to Nephira's compartment cabin was Suzuki's, and next to that was Excella's. After confirming that Suzuki had entered his own separate cabin, Nephira also entered hers.

It is a simple room with a bed, as well as a desk and chair in a corner. Nephira still stood near the door, remembering the incident between Duma and Suzuki.

She tried to act composed, but inside, Nephira was on edge. There aren't many demons that would dare to stand up to Duma. In addition to her eerie puppet doll's appearance was the threatening, murky black aura emanating from her body. Any knowledgeable demon should be able to sense the danger of Duma the moment they see her.

(And yet, Suzuki did not. He's got a tendency to be rash, doesn't he?)

But, well, Nephira thought that such a thing was also cute and innocent.

(Be that as it may… If I hadn't stopped her earlier, that bitch Duma would have bit Suzuki! RIGHT? I won't allow you to sink your teeth into Suzuki ahead of me!)

Nephira's face suddenly flushed red as she imagined the scene of her lips crawling on Suzuki's neck.

(A-All right… Let's go…!)

She opened the door and headed for Suzuki's cabin. Nephira took a deep breath in front of his door.

(At last, the moment I've been waiting for has arrived!)

She groomed her hair with her hands. Then, suppressing her eagerness, she knocked on the door. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Suzuki. Are you there?"

"Nephira…?"

"I'm coming in."

Twisting the rusty brass door knob, she entered Suzuki's cabin. As soon as the door closed, Nephira quickly locked it.

"It would be dangerous if the Duma were to enter here."

She nonchalantly said, but her true intentions were different.

(Fufufu! This is now a locked room! No one is going to get in my way today!)

Unlike Leirune, there are no Thunder-Lance Charge demons around. It is just the two of them.

While Nephira's two hearts leaped with joy at the prospect of spending honeymoon time with Suzuki, she suddenly noticed Suzuki sitting on the bed with a pained expression on his face.

"Hey. What is wrong?"

"I'm feeling a little sick. Probably seasick."

"I see."

Nephira sat down next to Suzuki. She then patted her thighs.

"Rest your head here."

"EH! B-But…"

"It's a lap pillow. It'll calm you down."

Suzuki hesitated, but it seemed that he was really in pain, and eventually, he laid his head on Nephira's lap.

"…Uhm. It is probably helping me calm down."

"Fuun. I'm glad."

She said it bluntly, but Nephira's two hearts were pounding so hard they felt as if they were about to jump out from her.

(Haa Haa Haa! I'm not composed at ALL! Cute, Suzuki is cute! I want to kiss him! Haa Haa Haa Haa!!)

A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye as she was so excited and lost in her fantasies. Takashi lifted his head from her lap.

"I feel a little more relaxed. Thank you. Nephira."

(Ah–!? You're not getting away today!! I'm going to press forward all at once!!)

Such opportunities are rare. Nephira renewed her resolve. Then, her smiling face at Suzuki was replaced by a slightly stern one.

"If so, Suzuki. Show me proof of your loyalty for today!"

"P-Proof of loyalty? Uhm… K-Kissing… T-The back of your hand, correct?"

"Uh-huh. That's the proof of loyalty in the Thunder-Lance Charge."

"It's kind of embarrassing, but…"

"Hahaha. Fool. What in the world are you misunderstanding? The proof of loyalty is simply a display of a retainer's relationship with one's lord. No need to be embarrassed at all."

"T-That's RIGHT! I suppose it's just like hugging in foreign countries!"

"What do you mean?"

"Ah? No, it's a matter of speech. Then, Nephira. Your hand."

"Wait. We've changed the rules a little bit recently. Instead of the back of my hand…"

Nephira brought her face closer to Suzuki's and exclaimed with bloodshot eyes.

"You're going to perform the proof of loyalty on my loins!! Haa Haa Haa Haa!!"

"No, what kind of proof of loyalty is that!?"
