Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World

(I see, INDEED! That's Pritis's 48 Gestures—Forty-Seventh Gesture…!)

"—— Love Shot!"

Suzuki muttered. At the same time, from all the giant crystals installed at regular intervals, a tidal wave of peach-colored shockwaves generated… Aina had such a hallucination.

With a heavy thud sound "dosu," Aina realized that Nephira had dropped her favorite weapon, Blitzberg, to the ground. In succession, "datadata," the Thunder-Lance Charge demons collapsed to the ground with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

Looking further behind her, Aina was completely lost for words. All of the several thousand soldiers that comprised the Demon Lord's Army had collapsed limply to the ground mid-march.

(W-What about the angels!?)

Next, Aina looked back toward Zhaviest. However, the angels were still drifting in the sky, not moving, as if they were unfazed.

"Not good!…huh?"

Aina struggled to squeeze out a bitter voice. However, Excella, who was standing next to her, shouted.

"No! The angels are afflicted as well!"

Upon closer inspection, the angels were still floating, but with their heads in their hands. The angels on land also had the same look of anguish on their faces.

"""AAH… AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"""

The angels' loud voices and screams echoed across the Miremia Plain. At the same time, there was a deafening explosion. The bodies of the angels were engulfed in flames and exploded with a thunderous bang. All the angels in the sky and on land were exploding to death one after another as if setting off a chain reaction.

Seeing this scene, Excella was even more surprised than Aina.

"No, why are they exploding?"

"They must have been vexed that he was cuter than them!"

"Angels... explode when they get vexed!?"

"The man-made artificial angels without a physical body, created by Zhaviest, were bombarded with an ultra-high concentration of Kyutie by Suzuki's Pritis. It's a foregone conclusion that they'll be unable to sustain their existence and explode!"

"I-Is it a foregone conclusion? THIS…! I, as an ordinary person, have no idea of what in tarnation you're talking about…!"

Aina thought that it was indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand this phenomenon. Zhaviest's face also twitched at the impossible sight.

"Seven thousand angels were annihilated…? What, kind of bullshit power is that…!

He muttered in a stunned tone. The army of angelic flock behind Zhaviest's back was all but obliterated. All that remained was the grass in the meadow, swaying in the wind. 　

Aina suddenly recalled her own conceited speech to Suzuki on Duma's ship.

"My love shot works on up to a maximum of 30 fiends at once!"

(Fufu–. I'm so embarrassed! I am so incompetent.)

After the self-mockery, Aina muttered to herself.

"You were right, you know, Lady Leelou. With his innate natural talent, he is a one-of-a-kind pritis user. I'm not even close to someone like Suzuki."

(It's so overwhelming that even my frustration vanished, you know. On the contrary, it's so refreshing. I wonder if this is what reverence feels like, you know.)

Aina, with all the strength she could muster in her aching body, shouted out to Zhaviest in a loud voice.

"Did you see it? Zhaviest!! An impossible-to-defend, shot-through-the-heart, invisible projectile that can penetrate thousands of targets at the same time!! That's a genuine Love Shot!! The power of a TRUE savior!!"

"Rotting skank…!"

Zhaviest glared at Aina with a fierce expression on his face. At that moment, Nephira, who was somehow able to stand while using Blitzberg as a walking cane, after being charmed by Suzuki's cuteness, exclaimed.

"S-Suzuki! Is not over yet! There's still, one more angel left!"

Aina also noticed an angel with a half-keloid face standing a short distance away from Zhaviest.

(Zhaviest's guardian angel! Somehow, it managed to withstand the love shot!)

Zhaviest laughed triumphantly as he gave his orders to the creepy-looking angel.

"Kakaka! Murder Suzuki! Cherubim!"

"Hihi! Hihi hihi hihi!"

Half of its four wings had been torn off, and it was wounded throughout its body. Still, the angel's uncharacteristically evil laugh rumbled out, and the powerful angel took flight to siphon Suzuki's life force from its roots. But a moment after reaching point-blank range, Suzuki, dressed in his holy garment, touched the angel's hand.

"Pritis's 48 Gestures—Fourth Gesture, 'Hands Clasping'"

"…Yaan–"

The moment Suzuki lightly grasped its hand, the cherubim emitted a charming voice that was hard to imagine coming from such a terrifying face.

Just by being touched by Suzuki as they passed each other, the cherubim exploded with a flash of light coming from its body.　

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

(How on earth could it all be over in a single blow? ———)

Like Aina, Excella was in complete awe of the hero who had obliterated the cherubim with a mere shot.

(Now all the angels have been annihilated! That was amazing! Lord Hero!)

The battle was now decided. Excella took a glance at Zhaviest, who must surely be despondent. However,

"Ka–… Ka–Kakakakaka!"

(Wha…?)

Contrary to Excella's expectations, Zhaviest was laughing happily.

"You're good, lad. I knew it, I should have killed you when I had the chance back then.—"

(He's only bluffing, that's all! I mean, he has no way to achieve victory now!)

Zhaviest, who had lost 7,000 angels, will only be slaughtered by the Demon Lord's army as he stands. Excella addressed Zhaviest, speaking in an imposing, royal voice.

"Please surrender! You no longer have a chance of winning!"

"No—u. That's not the case you know."

With a grin, Zhaviest disrobed out of his priestly garb.

"Ka–Kaka. I still have one more vial."

(Th-That's!)

The vial he retrieved bore a striking resemblance to the one that had been infused with the life energy of the destroyed Cove Town or the village of Leaven. The face of the previously calm hero grew impatient. The hero asked Zhaviest.

"H-Hey!! You have no more collateral compensation, do you!?"

"Have you forgotten? About my stronghold"

"The people of the Hill of Bliss…? That's…!"

"Everyone was either virgin maidens or children. Their power ratios were high."

(Every child and woman on the Hill of Bliss…?! Wh-What a terrible…!)

Thinking back on the smiling women and children, Excella felt a sense of helplessness. In hindsight, they were in a mass hypnotic state caused by the Heavenly Power. They were all killed for the sake of Zhaviest's angelic creation without even knowing it was happening…

After downing the vial in one gulp, Zhaviest wiped his mouth with his arm in satisfaction.

"Refilling Complete. I'm overflowing the most today."

"Zhaviest…!"
