Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World

"You had a bad stomach, was it…?"

Leos stared at Suzuki from head to toe while muttering in a low voice.

Unbelievable, but Suzuki's stomach must have really been hurting as he kept holding his abdomen in distress. Moreover, he was also fidgeting, probably from the awkwardness of being late.

As he stared at Suzuki, Leos' mouth almost dropped open. However, he pinched his side with his finger–in a way that no one else would notice.

(Guh–! As expected, this guy is cute! And to the point of being bewitching!)

"…Fuun. Well, it's fine. Sit down."

While averting his gaze from Suzuki's cuteness and maintaining his composure, Leos informed Suzuki.

Suzuki was surprised to see dead bodies of demons scattered here and there in the classroom and said, "Eh? HUH? What the hell is this!" but headed to his seat as instructed by Leos. Then he sat down on a chair.

The appearance of Suzuki suddenly caused a stir among the demons.

"H-Hey. That guy, he was late, and he wasn't even rebuked!? We've been getting killed for the slightest thing!"

"No matter how cute he is, that is favoritism! …HUH–!?"

Leos was standing behind the two demons who spoke. The two victims' heads became encased by the beastly hands of Leos. Then, he crushed them like smashed fruit.

"'Talking in class is punished by death'—— Don't make me repeat myself! Die!"

"What was that!? Scary!!"

Suzuki shouted. While watching the frightened Suzuki by his side, Leos was inwardly gloating.

(Kukuku. Finally, I've come this far. The plan is on course.)

Ever since Leos had seen him at the Demon Lord's Army's campaign meeting, he had been planning to kidnap Suzuki. If he could get his hands on the most unprecedentedly adorable human ever, he would be able to revitalize the Beast King's Oni Squad, which was on the verge of being dismantled after his Commander, Raigus, was killed in battle. No, it would not be impossible to gain even more influence than that.

The Commander adjutant of the Beast King's Oni Squad, Leos, recalled what happened a few days ago. Gahbell, a tiger-faced beastman who had been with him for many years and addressed him as "Brother" despite not being related by blood, spoke to him in a low voice.

"Brother. So how are we going to abduct Suzuki?"

"A demon training for low-ranking soldiers will be held in the imperial capital soon. Serphiano, the head advisor, is looking for instructors to teach there. I'm going to be one of them."

"EH!! Brother as an instructor? Is it going to WORK OUT!? And won't other demons be running for the position!?"

"Irrelevant. All of those demons, I suppose I'd kill them. That way, I'll be the only candidate."

"I-Indeed!! As expected, you are so smart, brother!! In fact, you might be a natural instructor, you know!!"

"Fuun. In any case. I will become an instructor and give a class in front of Suzuki. Then, I will fail Suzuki with a very difficult question that will be impossible for him to answer. After that, Suzuki and I will be left alone together for a remedial class. That way, I would be able to safely abduct Suzuki without ANYONE noticing."

"Pawrfect!! Brother, FOR REAL! You are so smart!!"

With this plan in mind, Leos first went to meet the Head Advisor of the Demon Lord's Army, Serphiano.

"Well then Master Ork. I am appointing you as Demon Training's Instructor."

"I'll do my best! Buu!"

The pig monster was shaking its huge body happily. It seemed that the selection of instructors had already concluded.

(Tsk. This is bad...)

Leos hurriedly petitioned toward Serphiano.

"Wait, Dame Serphiano. I want to be an instructor, too."

"Oh, my. That's troubling, isn't it? It's already been decided!"

"I really want to educate the lower-ranked soldiers! For the future of the Demon Lord's army!!"

Passionately in his plea, Master Ork snorted fiercely and lashed out at Leos.

"Why, you! Don't get in my way! Buu! I've been chosen to be the new instructor! Buu!"

Leos glared at Master Ork and jerked his steel-clawed right arm in a large motion.

"Shut up, Pig Bastard! Die!"

"Buu BUU——–!?"

Master Ork's head flew through the air. The claw attack of Leos instantly shot out and cut off the thick-as-a-log head of Master Ork. Trampling on the tumbled head with his long-clawed foot, Leos grinned.

"Kukuku. The passion for becoming an instructor has reached its peak."

"I-I said it had already been decided… you slaughtered the chosen candidate…!?"

The next moment, Serphiano, who was trembling slightly and muttering to herself, broke out into a blossoming smile.

"Wonderful! What a strong passion for education! I have been looking for a highly motivated instructor like you! Teacher Leos! Please take over the role of the deceased Master Ork———I mean, that you have slain, and teach at the demon training program!"

"Yes! I'm going to educate those stupid low-ranked soldiers to become great soldiers of the Demon Lord's army! Right, sometimes even by killing them! Kukukuku! Hahahahaha!"

…After recalling how Serphiano had recognized him a few days earlier, Leos glanced at the Thunder-Lance Charge's Nephira, who stood a few meters behind Suzuki, watching with her arms crossed.

(To avoid raising suspicions from Nephira, I'll have to tread lightly, won't I...)

Leos' sharp, beastly eyes sharpened even more.
