Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World

Vol. 2 - Chapter 6.4 - Hill of Bliss (4)

Afterward, Zhaviest invited them to join him for dinner. Takashi and the others, who had not eaten a good meal since the shipwreck, decided to take advantage of Zhaviest's hospitality.

In the dining room of the mansion, women, dressed in white, with smiling faces, served plates of bread, salads, chicken, and other dishes at the long table. Takashi was suddenly curious and asked Zhaviest.

"What's with all these women and children here?"

"Everyone, all of them, are those whose families were killed by the Demon Lord's army. This unworthy me is hiding them."

"How noble!"

Excella said as if she was deeply moved. Takashi nodded his head.

"I named this place Hill of Bliss. I wish the world could be a place where all the people around the world could live happily in this way."

Takashi nodded his head repeatedly. He felt that his ideals and Zhaviest's ideals were the same. Takashi was happy to know that others were thinking along the same lines and working hard to achieve it.

While eating, he glanced into the room next door. Little boys and girls were weaving flowers with smiles on their faces as if they were truly enjoying themselves. The heartwarming atmosphere scene was closer to Takashi's ideals.

(Suzukiland can't be left behind! More! There is more we can do!)

With positive determination, Takashi completely ate up his bread. After the meal, Zhaviest was still smiling as usual. However, he made an unexpected proposal.

"Lord Hero. How about a little clash? As an exercise to help digestion."

"A little clash, was it… EHH!? N-No, I'm!! I'm powerless against human opponents!"

"Excuse my discourtesy! I used the wrong phrase! We simply need to show each other what our capabilities are!"

"Ha-Haa. Well, if that is all…"

(I know my ability doesn't work unless there are demons, but oh well.)

They had received a place to stay, and a meal had been offered, making him unable to refuse. Takashi could do nothing but nod his head.

"I'm going to go make some preparations. When you have also finished your preparations, Lord Hero, come to the front of the chapel."

Zhaviest said and then left. As Takashi was about to leave for the chapel in the public plaza, Aina tugged on his sleeve.

"Please wait. I know he said it was to show each other's capabilities, but Lord Zhaviest is serious!"

"But, Mr. Zhaviest is a healer, isn't he?"

"That confidence… But then again, he may have abilities other than healing, you know."

After thinking about it for a moment with a serious expression on her face, Aina took out a package from her luggage and showed it to Takashi.

"This is something that was entrusted to me! It's for you, from Lady Leelou."

"F-From master for me!?"

The fact that she was giving it to him with this timing suggested that it may be battle gear. Takashi's heart was pounding.

(I knew it! Even though we're far apart, Master is still thinking about me!)

Such a happy feeling turned to doubt the moment he received the package. The package was unexpectedly light for a weapon or armor.

Takashi wondered why and carefully opened the package. Inside, a pink-colored outfit was folded up.

"Wh-What is this…?"

Unsure of the implications, Takashi lifted it and unfolded it in front of him. The full picture of the outfit became clear.

It was a one-piece outfit with a frilly miniskirt attached to a pink top. If looked at closely, you could see an embroidered one-horned rabbit on its stomach section.

"N-No, No, No, No!! This, is not for me! Definitely!!"

"T-That's right! Because, this looks like something a little girl would wear…"

Takashi and Excella looked at each other and laughed. However, Aina gave Takashi a glaring stare.

"No. It is unmistakably your OWN exclusive equipment!"

"My… equipment… this…?"

Takashi stared at it intently. Meanwhile, the rabbit embroidery seemed to be staring back at Takashi too.

"Equipment you said… this is not…"

After muttering those few words, Takashi slammed the pink outfit against the floor.

"Isn't this just CROSS-DRESSING!!"

At that moment, Aina's countenance turned bloodthirsty.

"W-What the HECK are you saying!? This is a Holy Cross-Dress made by Lady Leelou, you know!!"

"You just said it was CROSS-DRESSING!"

"Just hurry up and go change your clothes!"

"Can I even fit into these cheap-looking clothes that look like they came out of an issue of primary-school girl magazine? Master, are you making a fool out of me? Is that it!?"

"C-Cheap-looking was it…?"

"I mean, look at it! This crude pink! And the worst part is the embroidery on the stomach section! What the hell is with this overpowering, aggressive, poorly-made rabbit!? And there's even a miniskirt! Isn’t this already a penalty game, RIGHT?"

Thinking that Master Leelou was making fun of him, Takashi became very angry and vented out his anger. At that moment, there was a dry sound, and a sharp pain shot across Takashi's cheek.

"…Huh?"

Flabbergasted, Takashi presses down on his sore cheek. In front of him was Aina, who looked much angrier than Takashi.

"Apologize!!"
