Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 6.1: The One And Only Special Technique (1)

Gharaga stretched his snake-like neck---glaring at the large mansion---and spat on the ground.

"A disproportionate number of ssslaves in a disproportionate estate. What a joke. I'm here to teach him a lesson about the real world."

Excella felt a roar in her mind. Gharaga's thoughts were inherently natural for a demon. The fact that a human got accepted by demons was truly ridiculous.

(But! Why doesn't the power of Lord Hero work on Gharaga?)

Excella couldn't understand. However, it was no use thinking about it now. What she needed to do was to protect Kate and Clarice. Excella kept her arms outstretched and glared at Gharaga.

Suddenly, Gharaga's figure disappeared from her vision. Hearing Kate's scream, Excella turned around. Gharaga had taken Clarice from Kate and held her up with one hand.

(N--No way! I couldn't see his movement at all! This is an Adamantine-rank soldier of the Thunder-Lance Charge!)

Seeming to be in a lot of pain with Gharaga holding her by the back of her underwear, Clarice started crying loudly.

"Please don't do it! I have heard that eating human babies is against corps regulations!"

"You know your way around. I remember the last time they cut out my tongue and put me in jail. It took a while to regenerate."

"T--That's why!"

"Well... but, I'll think about it after I eat."

Kate, who had lost her child, screamed and tried to run toward Gharaga. Orneo held Kate from behind.

"You can't go! He'll kill you! Just a tad more! Lord Hero will return soon! Until then, bear with it!"

(Just a tad more...? Could it be?!)

Excella looked beyond Orneo's line of sight. Across from the garden gate. She saw Suzuki walking toward the villa.

"Lord Herooo!!"

Perhaps he heard Excella's cry. Or perhaps he saw the current spectacle. Suzuki dropped the bag of fruit he was carrying to the ground.

Gharaga also seemed to notice Suzuki in the distance.

"Did he come back? Then let's have the baby before he gets here."

Excella thought it was a miracle that Suzuki had returned at such an opportune time. But Suzuki was more than fifty meters away. No matter how fast he ran, he would never make it here before Clarice got eaten by Gharaga.

Gharaga happily held up the crying Clarice with one hand. Gharaga's mouth opens wide, with drool dripping down through his fangs.

(Please! Lord Hero!)

Excella clasped her hands together as if in prayer and closed her eyes.

"What in tarnation..."

At the sound of Gharaga's deadpan voice, Excella slowly opened her eyes.

"Lo--Lord Hero...?"

Excella expected the hero to come running at full speed with a determined expression on his face. But even at a time like this, the hero was hopping around on one leg, alternately shuffling his feet.

(S--Skipping? He's skipping happily!! What a thing to do at this critical moment!!)

"Ke-ke-ke. What the hell. What a stupid gait!"
