Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World

"Innyaaaaaaaa–!!"

Leos intended to shout out "Incorrect," but the only thing that came out of his mouth was a lovely squeal similar to the chirp of an animal. Suzuki's eyes rolled back in his head.

"Yn-Instructor Leos!? What the heck did you just say?"

(What did I just say...? This meeeeeeeeeeee!!)

Leos couldn't believe it himself even more.

(I've never made that sound before in my life! C-Calm down! I'm Leos, Commander Adjutant of the Beast King's Oni Squad! I've dived through countless life-or-death scrapes! Compared to that, this is nothing!)

It was no longer a matter of failing Suzuki or abducting him. Leos' heart was about to burst.

(Not good! If I keep looking at Suzuki any longer, I'm going to lose my mind!)

Still, Suzuki was demanding an answer. And yet, "incorrect" ——— that one word would not come out of his throat.

(Shit! What the hell, am I going to do? I don't know! I don't even know… what's going on anymorenyan!)

Leos clenched his fists with all his remaining rationality. Blood dripped from his palm.

"T-The answer is… tsk, for the next class… it will be homework…!"

"Eh–! Ho-homework?"

"Goddamn moron! Don't always think you can easily get the answer from your teacher! Think by yourself frantically until the next class! That is real learning!"

"Y-Yes! I understand, Instructor Leos!"

"Today's demon training session is now over–!!"

After shouting that, Leos ran out of the classroom as if he was trying to escape.

……

"What are you doing, brother!? I thought you were bringing Suzuki with you!!"

In a grassy area away from the classroom at the training institute, the tiger beastman Gahbell raised his voice at Leos. However, Leos looked at his sworn younger brother, Gahbell, with a very different eye, kinder and clearer than usual.

"I, today, I realized the beauty of education…"

"B-Brother?"

Recalling how Suzuki had called him "Instructor Leos" during the training session, Leos wriggled and sighed, "Hanyan." He then started to walk aimlessly.

"No, Please WAIT! Weren't you going to use Suzuki to REBIRTH the Beast King's Oni Squad?!"

"I will not. I have decided to devote myself to my vocation as a teacher."

"Are you really going to become a teacher!?… Te-Where are you going!? Brother!?"

"I'm going to make a question set workbook for tomorrow's class. And, instead of 'Brother,' just call me 'Instructor' from now on."

"From now on…? EEEEHHHH…!"

Leaving Gahbell with his mouth gaping wide open, Leos walked away.

Leaving the grassy area, he walked alone in the Imperial Capital. And then, in an isolated alley, Leos, who checked that he was alone, blushed, and put his hand on his own heart, which was beating wildly.

"Haa Haa Haa…!! Teacher… Beautifulnyaa…"

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

While Suzuki was attending demon training sessions with Leos, Serphiano was busily running a quill over a sheet of parchment. On her desk, stacks of papers piled up in a mountain. The most intelligent demon in the demon lord's army was being bombarded with an avalanche of clerical paperwork from a variety of matters.

(Good grief. I hate it when I have to work even on days like this!)

She left the classroom with a disinterested look on her face, but in fact, Serphiano wanted to observe Suzuki's class. Even so, she couldn't neglect the workload that had piled up.

(Ugh—. I also wanted to see Suzuki in his lesson—)

After letting out a small sigh ——— Serphiano's face contorted into a grin.

(Fufufu! But it is fine! I have a secret that Nephira does not kn—ow.)

She looked at the time, and her smile grew even more.

(The training should be over by around now, I think?)

From the cleavage of her dress, Serphiano pulled out a small crystal ball, different from the ones she had given to Nephira and the other commanders of the Demon Lord's army. Placing it on the desk, Serphiano poured magic into it.

Soon, Suzuki's face appears in the crystal ball, looking perplexed. Serphiano's heart fluttered.

"Yaho—! Is my face, being projected correctly—?"

"Y-Yeah. It's displaying… or perhaps I should say, this's amazing. It's like a video call…"

Serphiano had secretly given Suzuki a crystal ball in advance. Looking at Suzuki's adorable face, Serphiano asked with a "dokidoki," feeling excitement and thrill.

"I have something very important to tell you… right now, are you alone—?"

"Ah, yeah. Since I'm on my way back from the washroom. What was the important thing?"

"What kind of demoness is your type, Suzuki?"

"N-No, I don't have a type of demoness in particular, but…"

"Well then, well then—. Ufufu! How about me—?"

"EEH–!?"

(He's so embarrassed—! A—h! So cute—!)

After that, Serphiano continued chatting with Suzuki as if she were trying to relieve some of her grief at not being able to watch his class. And then…

"Ohgyu–"

As usual, Serphiano vomited blood.

"Eep–!? What's wrong, all of a sudden?"

"Ah, I'm fine. Long crystal ball transmissions can take a toll on the caller's stamina. Gobyu!"

"What kind of dangerous communication device is this!? Then, shouldn't you hang up already?!"

"No, I won't. This is for the sake of the Demon Lord's army-byu!"

Serphiano was so excited and agitated that she did not even care about vomiting blood.

(Even though Nephira is there, Suzuki and I are sneakily video-calling over the crystal ball! How sinful and immoral! How stimulatingly pleasant!)

She didn't care about the blood running down her cheeks either. Suzuki, however, seemed quite worried, and as his face turned pale, he shouted.

"No, geez, you are covered in blood and are frightening!!"

"Not at all. I can still keep going-byu!"

"Your sentence-ending has also become strange, and even your eyes are bleeding!? … H-Huh? Wait a minute…"

"Suzuki? What's wrong?"

"Uhm… an undead is summoning me. Eh… From Duma's—— is it?"
