Demon King – Chapter 102 – The Tacit Understanding Between Two Bro… Two Sisters

If a certain loli’s current thoughts were known to student Yuki, he would definitely catch this dirty-minded loli whose head was stuffed with all sorts of messy things and give her a proper education.

After all, Eiru used to be a boy, so while she cared a lot about such things, she didn’t really have a proper understanding of them. Combined with her curiosity driving her, it led her to make such a rash decision. To put it bluntly, it was because she was too naive…

And honestly, the little demon king didn’t think anyone would accept her non-human self as a partner… she had long been mentally prepared to be single for life.

So since her best buddy took such good care of her, she might as well give him this… anyways, in Her Majesty the Demon King’s social circle, no one was more suitable or more deserving of her trust than Yuki, her most trustworthy best friend.

Would a certain loli’s parents, after learning the truth about their child, get so anxious about their ‘son’s’ rash self-sacrificing behavior that they’d drag her back home to reeducate her from scratch?

“But if he has a girlfriend by then, I’d better not cause trouble for others… breaking up someone else’s relationship would be too big a sin.” Stretching lazily, the little demon king who had changed clothes walked toward the balcony.

The perspective shifts to Eiya’s side. Her Majesty the Demon King’s dear sister was currently in her room organizing her things.

Except for high school seniors preparing for college entrance exams, summer vacation usually starts earlier for middle school than high school. While Eiru’s school was still preparing for final exams, Eiya’s summer vacation had already begun.

While organizing, Eiya noticed a photo album that looked somewhat old. Walking over to pick up the album, the cover showed a family photo of her entire family.

“How was big brother anything like he is now back then…” Looking at the photo, Eiya remembered when her big brother hadn’t rebelled yet.

In the photo, Eiya and Eiru stood in the center, with Eiya’s hands draped over Eiru’s shoulders, crossed in front of his chest. The two siblings had their faces pressed together, looking very close to each other.

“He’s really getting weirder and weirder now…” Stroking the photo, Eiya sighed.

In elementary school, her big brother was still a well-behaved child. Good grades, obedient, and “that one asian cousin”… Even though he was a bit introverted and didn’t really like talking to people. In front of his sister, he was both cheerful and lively.

Starting in middle school, she didn’t know if he was possessed by something, but he suddenly started skipping class. His grades also plummeted, and his teacher even visited their home many times…

Dad, Mom, and the teacher discussed it for a long time. Never mind them, even Eiya, who was usually closest to Eiru, didn’t know how a perfectly good, quiet, shy, well-behaved child had turned into a near-delinquent.

Normally, Eiru didn’t interact much with people, so in the end, everyone could only conclude that he had been influenced by his phone, video games, the internet, and such things, becoming addicted to entertainment.

(Phone: Every era needs such a scapegoat, and in this era, that scapegoat is me!)

Originally, the school almost expelled Eiru, but considering that in this society, education was everything… even if he was just going through the motions, they had to let their child graduate properly.

Finally, after Eiru’s parents and other relatives pulled strings and made various deals, the school reluctantly gave him a green light—as long as he didn’t violate major rules or affect others, the school would turn a blind eye to Eiru skipping class.

But after all this commotion, her big brother’s reputation at home was basically ruined. Except for a few who were big-hearted and didn’t care, basically all the family relatives wouldn’t give Eiru any face.

To let their son experience the hardships of life, and also to avoid Eiya being led astray, Eiru’s parents made a difficult decision—to let the only 13-year-old Eiru move out and live alone.

At the time, Eiya was extremely opposed to this. Although she was also disappointed in him and was opposed to it, no matter what, Eiru was still her biological brother who usually took good care of her.

After being persuaded by her parents, Eiya understood her parents’ good intentions and could only retreat to the side in silence. To this day, she still wondered if she had kept opposing it back then, the relationship between her brother and the family relatives wouldn’t be as strained as it is now.

To continue Eiru’s ‘education’, besides rent and the cost of some furniture, the two didn’t give Eiru any living expenses and let him figure things out on his own.

But since he was their flesh and blood, they couldn’t let him starve to death outside. Besides secretly helping him pay part of the utilities to reduce his pressure, Eiru’s parents also asked the landlord to help look after Eiru.

Of course, they didn’t need too much care, just making sure he wouldn’t have any major problems. And during these years of looking after Eiru, the landlord grandfather had also heard many rumors about Eiru, so naturally, he didn’t think much of this child with a bad reputation.

“Although it was his own doing, he must have suffered a lot, right?” Closing the album in her hands, Eiya stuffed it into a nearby drawer. “If he had just been a bit more honest back then, it wouldn’t have come to this…”

Moreover, starting two years ago, everyone felt that Eiru’s aversion to being home inexplicably intensified. Not only did his visits home become significantly less frequent, but he also spent less and less time there.

From previously coming home every Friday and leaving Sunday evening… to now barely being seen even during holidays. Their parents were also getting anxious, occasionally personally driving over on Friday afternoons or Saturday mornings to drag him back.

But even so, except during winter and summer breaks, Eiya basically never saw her big brother stay home more than a few times. Under these circumstances, the distance between Eiru and the family naturally grew further and further…

“How did I end up with such a brother…” Holding her forehead helplessly, Eiya felt particularly exhausted.

Along with exhaustion came some sadness and guilt. As someone who used to be the closest to him, she was completely unable to do anything for her brother, only able to watch helplessly as he went down the wrong path, watching the distance between them grow wider and wider.

“Although I know many things about you are just rumors, and I believe you wouldn’t do such things… but if you really make a move on a little girl, I’ll have to stop you before you make a mistake that’s irreversible.” Clenching her fists, Eiya made a firm resolution in her heart.

“How cute little Eiya was when she used to cling to me…” At the same time, being thought about by Eiya, her dear ‘elder brother’ was currently lying on the rooftop floor, with her two little legs bent backward and swaying in the air.

“Now she only knows how to be fierce with me… but this is all my fault too…” While sunbathing, while browsing through old photos of herself and her sister on her phone, the two ‘siblings’ quite tacitly reminisced together about the time when they were close.

“Sorry, little Eiya, it’s all because big brother was too stubborn…” The little demon king muttered to herself, showing a bitter smile on her face.
