Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 2Vol. - .8 - The Slaves Of The Phantom Ship (8)
"This is the classroom where Suzuki will be doing his training."
Smiling, Serphiano quickly turned on her heels.
"In any case, let's go to the castle next. We are currently in the middle of remodeling it into a Demon lord's castle, so please assess our progress…"
As soon as she did, Nephira's face lit up in surprise.
"P-Please wait! From now on, Suzuki training will take place here, right?"
"Yes. So I thought we'd kill some time somewhere in the meantime."
"No, No, No! Since we have come all this way, let's do a Suzuki's class visitation!"
"E————eh! Nephira... you really are overprotective, aren't you?—!"
"I-I will observe the class, no matter how overprotective I may seem! Since I'm almost like Suzuki's guardian!"
"A commander's adjutant is not supposed to be protected by the commander. But, well, I understand. Then, Nephira, please observe the class. Then, Aina and the rest…"
Serphiano's gaze turned to Excella and Aina. Excella opened her mouth hastily.
"S-Since we are Suzuki's slaves, we will do 'Slave Visitation' as well!!"
"S-Slave Visitation…?"
Nephira muttered, her mouth gaping open. Seeing this, Excella suddenly became quiet.
(AAAHHHHHH–!? I regret saying such strange things!)
"What, is that…?"
Serphiano also had a strange expression on her face. Excella's face lit up, burning with shame. Eventually, Nephira snorted "fuun," and pointed at Excella.
"In case you didn't know, she's Suzuki's slave. I think it's a good idea to let them participate."
"Suzuki's slaves, huh?… that's fine. Aina's group, you two slaves will be allowed a visitation. This is for future reference, so make sure you study hard!"
Serphiano told them this without so much as smiling, though. Excella bowed her head profoundly.
"Y-Yes! I greatly appreciated it!"
(How can my opinion, as a human being, be approved when Lord Hero is not here?! I knew it! The world is changing little by little, Lord Hero!)
Excella was happy to feel a faint glimmer of hope. However—
"Well then, let's all go inside the classroom."
—the moment Serphiano opened the sliding door, a chill ran down Excella's spine.
(Ugh–! This is…–!)
The buzzing sound of demons with hoarse voices. The demons with evil-looking vicious expressions were sitting wherever on chairs and desks.
Excella felt as if she had wandered into a monster's lair and became agitated, but Nephira asked Serphiano in an indifferent tone of voice.
"Dame Serphiano. Who are these demons?"
"They are low-ranked soldiers who have freshly joined the Demon Lord's Army."
"Newcomers, huh? No wonder they all have bad attitudes."
They were chatting as if they were ignoring the appearance of Serphiano, the Staff Officer, and Nephira, the commander of the Thunder-Lance Charge. However, neither Serphiano nor Nephira paid attention to them and just stood silently behind them.
One of the demons turned its head and looked back at Serphiano.
"Excusee me! Is class not starting yet~?"
"Please wait a few more minutes. Your homeroom teacher will be here shortly."
Despite Serphiano's amicable response, one of the demons threw his feet up on the desk.
"For fuck's sake! Why the hell's it taking so long? What kinda jerk's this teacher, anyhow?!"
"I can't stand this! Idiot scum."
Excella gulped down saliva in the presence of these hooligan demons.
(I-I knew it! They have their own one or two peculiarities, right? Lord Hero... Are you going to be alright fitting amongst these people?)
At that moment, the door opened with a bang. The eyes of the class all turned toward that direction at once.
A lion-like beastman, more than two meters tall, crouched down, ducked through the door, and entered the classroom.
"…I'm the instructor, Leos."
He said in a low voice, but there remained a buzz in the air. A demon threw his feet up on the desk while laughing, and Leos walked over to him.
"Hey, bastard. I'm talking now, aren't I?"
"Ooh—? What is it, teacher?"
"Listen here. Remember. In front of me, 'talking in class is…"
The demon was still laughing loudly. Excella's heart was pounding 'Doki-Doki' on her chest.
(He seems to be a very strict teacher!! Most likely, he will say, "Talking in class is prohibited!!" Will he punch him?!)
The next moment, Leos's golden pupils dilated.
"'Talking in class is an infraction punishable by death'!!"
He said and then swung his sharp-clawed arm. The demon's head rolled around the classroom after receiving such a powerful blow from Leos, and black blood gushed from its neck like a fountain.
"""EEEeeeeeeek!?"""
The classroom was soon filled with the screams of the demons, but the moment Leos glanced at them, the class became completely silent.
Of course, it was not only the demons. The cruel and bizarre sight of that scene made even Excella shudder.
(No!? He was killed just for talking in class!? "Talking in class is punishable by death"!? Don't you think that's TOO STRICT!!?)
After the encounter with Duma, Excella had another tremendous and unpleasant foreboding.
