Demon King – Chapter 105 – After All, She’s Just a Child

Translator Note

Gutter at the start…

“Mmph~” With her upper body lying down, her hands and head resting on the bed’s guardrail, the little demon king slumped softly on the bed like a little kitten.

“No energy left~” After reading the little books and getting restless inside, having just finished doing some indescribable things, her face flushed, with her tail wrapped around her thigh, she didn’t want to move at all.

“Wait…” While resting comfortably, Her Majesty the Demon King suddenly realized a very serious problem. “Did I forget to put down a towel?”

Stiffly turning her head, looking at the large wet stain on the bed sheets and the moisture she could still faintly feel between her thighs, Eiru knew she had messed up again.

“Ahhhhh!!!” A slightly childish scream echoed through the fifteenth-floor corridor of the boys’ dormitory…

“I’m a bad child… I’m a bad child…” Muttering under her breath, the little demon king hung the washed bed sheets on the balcony.

“Wah! I’m ruined! I’ve learned bad things! It was one thing at home, but I actually did this kind of thing in a boys’ dormitory!” Her Majesty the Demon King, having come to her senses, started crying as shame and embarrassment hit her directly.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m a bad child…” Rubbing her eyes, Eiru didn’t even know who she was apologizing to.

“But it really felt good… if just self-generating electricity feels this good, then if it were…” Muttering with her head down, but soon she shook her head, throwing such thoughts out of her mind.

“Wah, I’ve learned bad things!” Crying again like a little child, “I couldn’t resist the temptation, it’s my fault…”

For Eiru, who used to be a boy, it would be strange if she wasn’t curious about such things. Similarly, due to her lack of knowledge in this area and the education she received at home before, she also felt quite fearful of this unknown territory.

While feeling anticipation and curiosity, she also felt helpless and afraid. After becoming a girl, unable to confide in anyone, she had to explore and research many things on her own.

Unable to talk to anyone, unable to consult anyone, let alone seek help… the fear brought by this ‘unknown territory’ was something she had to bear alone.

Eiru was very smart, even perhaps too smart. Good at reading people and situations, she could keenly react to things around her. But no matter how smart she was, no matter how mature she appeared, her mind was still just that of a child.

Generally speaking, sixteen years old is already an age where one starts growing up and gradually moves toward maturity. Children at this age no longer rely solely on others’ help and already have their own understanding of many things.

But the little demon king was different. At fourteen, ‘he’ had already become a ‘she’. During this delicate age when one should receive proper guidance and start growing as a person, the little demon king received no guidance or help from elders at all. Being an immature child at the time, it was impossible for her to mentally grow.

Adding to this, her existence was too special. Although she appeared cheerful and lively on the surface, she was fundamentally unwilling to really talk to anyone except for Yuki… leading to Eiru’s psychological growth being somewhat stunted over these two years, with virtually no mental development or change.

Whether it was injuries or psychological questions about various things… and having only been a girl for two years, she had no way to seek help from others about anything related to being a girl.

Carrying too many burdens alone, her stunted growth had made her into a very contradictory child.

Learning faster than her peers, having superior strategic and planning skills, as well as being able to live independently, meant that she was objectively far smarter than her peers. That’s why she could live alone outside for two years, and even when injured, she could handle things herself.

But when facing unexpected emergencies and things in unknown territories, she showed more immaturity than anyone else. Just like when facing Officer Li, the first time her identity was exposed in two years scared her so much she forgot to even try to cover it up slightly.

At the same time, toward people she trusted, she would also act unusually childish and dependent. That’s why she constantly acted cute and charming toward Yuki, because he was almost the only person she could trust…

The current little demon king, even though she wasn’t aware of it herself, desperately needed someone who could guide her and whom she could depend on mentally. But obviously, such a person didn’t exist at this stage, and she could only continue walking alone.

Yuki was indeed worthy of her trust and someone she could depend on. But Yuki was ultimately just a sixteen-year-old big boy, also immature in many ways, and therefore wasn’t able to properly mentor Eiru.

Only adults with mature character and life experience could meet the little demon king’s current needs. Perhaps only on the day her parents learned the truth about their child would the little demon king receive true care and guidance…

Now Eiru was in this fear of the unknown. Thinking she had already learned bad things, she sobbed for a long time. Her mouth opened and closed as if she wanted to say something…

But in the end, she still closed her mouth… because she realized that she couldn’t find even one person she could call out to for help, not even someone who could provide slight comfort to her heart through words alone.

Perhaps Yuki counted as one, but he was ultimately just her best friend, a friend who was completely equal to her in status and position in her heart. Eiru naturally didn’t want to depend on him too much, and also didn’t think he could help her in this regard.

“I want to go home…” With her head down, Eiru sobbed quietly. For some reason, she really wanted to go home. She wanted to confess everything and receive love, care, and guidance like Eiya did.

When people feel helpless, they always think of their home. After all, their home should be a safe space—no matter what storms you face outside, as long as you can go back home, you’ll be able to endure it all.

But thinking was just thinking; she knew this was impossible. After all, it was because of her own actions, step by step that she had fallen to this point. Moreover, with those nightmares she often had, she didn’t dare tell her family about her current situation at all.

“Little Lu, I’m back… what’s wrong with you?” After the evening study hall ended, Yuki had just opened the door when he found a figure standing on the balcony, crying like a tearful beauty.

“Ah this…” Not only was he stunned, but Jixian and Ziyu who entered after him were also frozen.

“Wuu…” Rushing into Yuki’s arms and crying, leaving Yuki unable to react to what was happening.

Jixian was the first to react, quickly closing and locking the dorm door behind them to prevent people passing by outside from seeing what was happening inside. After doing this, he silently gestured to Ziyu.

Ziyu immediately understood Jixian’s meaning, and the two quietly slipped onto the balcony, leaving all the space for the other two in the dorm…
