Chapter 49: “Leviathan’s Coming Over?!” ②

As soon as Natsuki got home—with Leviathan tagging along—he was greeted by Koume Lucifer’s flying kick.

“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WITH NATSUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!!”

“BUGEH—?!”

Koume’s foot buried itself straight into Leviathan’s face.

And the next second—he was airborne.

At this rate, he was going to crash straight through the neighbor’s wall.

So, just before that happened—Natsuki quickly reached out and grabbed him by the collar.

“—Kkff.”

“Ah, sorry.”

Unfortunately, he had grabbed a little too tightly—Leviathan let out a weird choking sound before slumping over, coughing violently.

“…Natsuki. Take it back to where you found it.”

“Can you not talk like I just picked up a stray?”

“If it were a cute little woof-woof or meow-meow, I’d gladly beg Mama Haruko to let us keep it. But this thing? Absolutely not. Seriously, both that damn Satan and damn Leviathan keep popping into the human world like it’s a weekend getaway! Do you guys even care how much of a nuisance you are to normal people?!”

“LIKE HELL I WANNA HEAR THAT FROM YOU, DAUGHTER OF THE DEMON KING!!”

Still wheezing from Koume’s brutal kick, Leviathan’s forehead twitched with rage.

Forget jealousy—these two just straight-up didn’t get along.

“Natsuki, be careful. This one may look all cute and innocent… But he’s a guy.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“…You knew and still brought him here? Listen, Koume-chan’s a bit concerned about this. I don’t wanna say anything insensitive in this age of ‘diversity’… But don’t you think it’s a little too soon for you to be stepping into that world?”

“No! Look, obviously there isn’t a single middle school boy who isn’t at least a little curious about traps—But that’s just, you know… a teenage thing.”

“…Fine. It’s only natural for a middle schooler going through puberty to be curious about certain things…BUT LEVIATHAN IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE!!!“

“ARE YOU HIS DAD OR SOMETHING?!”

Leviathan, who had been completely ignored until now, erupted in a fit of rage—

Magic surging around him as he screamed.

His voice…

Was different.

Unlike before, it was rougher—more husky.

“YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST KICK ME IN THE FACE LIKE THAT, HUH?! THAT’S MY MONEYMAKER, DAMN IT!!”

“Consider it a reward. You should be thanking me.”

“LIKE HELL I WILL!! I’VE GOT OVER A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, YOU KNOW?! I CAN’T STREAM WITH A BUSTED FACE!!“

“Oh, please. If anything, you just got cuter. Besides… are you sure about this?”

“Hah?!“

“Your real voice is slipping out.” 

“—Oh.”

Leviathan—who had just been yelling in a deep, raspy voice—Sounded far more aggressive and masculine than Natsuki had ever heard before.

So that meant—

His usual cutesy way of talking? It was all an act.

…And for some reason, that was kind of a shock.

“…Ahem. Aaaah, aaah. Geez, Koume-chan, you can’t just go around kicking my cute little face! That’s a no-no! Hmph!”

“It’s way too late to start acting all cutesy now.”

Natsuki didn’t know what to say anymore.

But seeing Leviathan’s cute little face dripping with a nosebleed was kind of pitiful…

So, without a word, he quietly handed him a tissue.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Minor spoiler: Koume actually thinks Leviathan is adorably unfair and kinda envies him.

Which is why…

Every time they meet, they end up “arguing” like this.
