Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World

Vol. 2 - Chapter 6.2 - Hill of Bliss (2)

Serphiano put her hand on her chin and pondered.

(If we only look at what just happened, it would be a mind-controlling type ability but... it is different, isn't it? The control over the spider was probably only a part of its power. The essence of that ability is, with the power of Holy Light as a foundation, that power is then applied in various forms...?)

Serphiano bit her lip quietly as she thought.

(If that was the case, it would be a troublesome ability.)

And the greatest mind in the Demon Lord's Army further pondered the issue.

(But, how did he acquire a holy power so mighty that it could wound Grant?)

In this world, there exists such a thing as magical theory. Serphiano could not believe that the holy power that had wiped out five skeleton soldiers completely without a trace and had scorched Grant's body, which boasted iron-clad defense abilities, had come from a single human.

Serphiano closed her pair of eyes and slowly opened her third eye instead. And then, she takes a bird's eye view of the situation, breathing quietly as if in meditation.

(If, hypothetically speaking, the events in Cove town and the village of Leaven were not a rebellion within the Demon Lord's army… The humans that died because the life force was siphoned out of them… The disappearance of the Demon Lord's army troops stationed in the area…)

Before long, Serphiano opened all three of her eyes.

"Indeed. Everything that happened, all those incidents, it was all the deeds of that one person, wasn't it?"

(It siphons the life force out of living beings and transforms it into the power of a holy light that destroys us, the demon race———that is the true nature of the "Heavenly Power"?)

After seeing through the enemy's abilities, Serphiano informed Nephira in a dignified voice.

"In preparation for the campaign in the Miremia Plains, let's rally half of the Demon Lord's army forces stationed in the various regions back to the Imperial Capital."

"But… nine times out of ten, wouldn't it be a trap set by the enemy?"

"I don't give a flying fuck. After annihilating a town and a village that served as storehouses for the Demon Lord's Army, he shamelessly and boldly delivered a declaration of war. There's no way I could ever tolerate that."

Instead of a night raid like the Salvation Crusaders, he went out of his way to deliberately use a demon as a messenger. He must be very confident in his abilities.

(Even so, we have already seen through most of the enemy's capabilities. In that case, let's daringly accept this challenge, overturn all their plans, and crush them even with all their tricks!)

"Fufufu! Human race! Show me what you can do!"

Serphiano exclaimed, showing a devilish side that she does not usually display.

Hearing Serphiano's voice, silence fell over the area. Soon after, Nephira timidly began to speak.

"B-But…"

"The Thunder-Lance Charge is also encouraged to participate. I want about three hundred troops, including Kiru, to march towards the Imperial Capital."

"N-No, uhm… Dame Serphiano."

"Ah, No need to worry. I will transmit the information via crystal ball communication."

Nephira repeatedly glanced at Serphiano and then looked away. Serphiano smiled at Nephira, who seemed uncharacteristically anxious.

"I understand what you are trying to say! Of course, there is also the possibility of being a diversion tactic. It might be possible that they are trying to draw attention towards the Miremia Plain and retake the Imperial Capital. Even if that is the case, there is nothing to worry about. You can rest assured."

"N-No. It is not exactly that. Dame Serphiano…"

Nephira was at a loss for words. Serphiano suddenly realized it.

(Whaaaaat, is that what you meant?! It's been a while since I showed you my dreadful side, isn't it!)

Serphiano laughed. However, Nephira pointed to Serphiano's chest area and said awkwardly,

"Dame Serphiano…! One of your breasts is hanging out…!"

"…Huh?"

Serphiano looked down and saw her own chest. The right half of the white dress was partially ripped, and, as she was told, one of her tits was peeking out.

"Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaa!? WHHHYYYYYYYY!?"

She thought that Grant had protected her perfectly. However, the heavenly power had slipped past Grant's defenses and burned off a part of Serphiano's dress.

(Wa-Wa-Wait a minute! So, since that moment, I've been…?)

Serphiano's face turned bright red, and she yelled at Nephira.

"Say something SOONEEEEER!"

"I WAS GOING TO MENTION IT! But you said things like, 'No need to worry' or like, 'I understand what you are trying to say' and wouldn't listen to me! You made me wonder if it was just inconsequential."

"It's not INCONSEQUENTIAL at all! With a tit out, going 'boing!', I said things like 'show me what you can do' while laughing!? Didn't I end up looking like an IDIOT!? That was the case, RIGHT!?"

Serphiano loudly pressed Nephira. Thereupon, Nephira stutteringly replied.

"Y-Yes! You looked like an idiot!"

It was said plainly. Grant nodded his head in agreement with an "Ugha!" Furthermore, the surrounding guard soldiers, who thought she asked them all, also shouted in unison, "You looked like an idiot!"

Serphiano, while hiding her exposed breast, violently slammed her fists containing her resentment into the marble floor.

(B-Bastard!!! Shitty Humble Herald of the Heavenly Power, Zhaviest!! I'll absolutely crush you to smithereens!! I'll make sure of iittttt!!)
