Demon King – Chapter 106 – I… Can’t Think of a Title

Translator Note

Happy Canada Day! Extra chapter today.

“Is she asleep?” After waiting outside for quite a while, when Jixian and Ziyu came back in, they only saw Yuki sitting in a chair with the girl curled up in his arms.

“Yeah, I’ll put her in Eiru’s bed later. Eiru sent me a message saying he’s not coming back tonight.” Looking at the girl in his arms, who seemed to have cried herself to sleep, Yuki reached out to smooth her hair.

“What happened to her? Why was she crying like that…” Ziyu scratched his head, expressing confusion.

“How would I know… I’ll put her in Eiru’s bed first, otherwise it’ll be hard to explain if the dorm supervisor comes by. Master Mu, come give me a hand…” Waving his hand, Yuki picked up the girl, preparing to hide her first.

Yuki was actually quite helpless too. After all, seeing his crush cry like that, whose heart wouldn’t ache? But she just kept crying and wouldn’t say a word, so he didn’t know how to comfort her.

He knew that rashly trying to comfort someone without knowing enough about the situation could very likely backfire. Rather than taking that risk, it was better to silently provide a shoulder for her to lean on and give her a place to cry and vent, which is better than any comfort.

“Oh…” Jixian took off his shoes, stood on the chair, crouched down and took the girl from Yuki’s arms.

After Yuki climbed onto the bed, the two were just about to make another handoff when an accident happened.

“What the hell is this?” Looking at the unknown object wrapped around his arm, Jixian froze. Following this strange thing with his eyes, he was surprised to discover that it was actually… a tail?

“Tsk, I forgot about that…” Yuki slapped his forehead—he hadn’t noticed that the girl hadn’t hidden her tail and wings.

Because her wings were retracted, he hadn’t noticed at first. But now, due to their movements, the girl in her drowsy sleep had subconsciously wrapped her tail around the person holding her, afraid of falling.

“How should I put this…” Yuki scratched his head. “A non-human girl… have you guys heard of that?”

“Tsk, a little devil… no wonder she’s so mischievous.” After some explanation, the two accepted Yuki’s explanation.

“Anyway, please help keep this secret for her.” Yuki pressed his palms together in a pleading gesture.

“I get it, I get it. But I didn’t expect you to have this kind of taste, Yuki.” Jixian wanted to wave his hand but found both hands occupied holding a little devil, so he couldn’t free them.

“After all, she’s a special individual. In movies and novels, she’d either be captured and dissected, or if she wasn’t dangerous, probably kept under house arrest, right?” Ziyu said seriously while talking about scary things. “But what do you mean by ‘this kind of taste’?”

“Ahem, nothing…” Yuki coughed lightly twice and reached out to Jixian.

“Give her to me. I’ll hide her in Eiru’s little fort first. She can sleep there tonight.”

“OK.” Handing over the little devil, the two quickly completed the handoff, then began a very important task—getting the tail wrapped around Jixian’s arm loose.

“Damn, why is it wrapped so tight?”

“Be gentle, don’t wake her up…”

“Shit, it wrapped back around! How is she so clingy?”

The three struggled for quite a while before finally getting that ridiculously long tail unwrapped. Ziyu and Jixian went about their own business below, while Yuki carried the girl into a certain ‘Demon King’s Castle.’

What the hell, where are Eiru’s bed sheets? As soon as he entered, Yuki stared wide-eyed at his buddy’s bare bed. What was this guy up to now?

Forget it… after the dorm supervisor finishes checking rooms, I’ll put her on my bed and sleep here myself. After all, who would have the heart to put such a delicate little loli on a sheetless bed?

“Go turn on the bathroom light. When the dorm supervisor comes, turn on the shower and say that Eiru is taking a bath.” After settling the girl, Yuki climbed down and gave instructions.

“OK.” Ziyu quickly sprang into action. After completing this small task, the three sat in their respective chairs and started eating the late-night snacks they’d brought back.

After all, it was just a sleeping little devil loli on the upper bed, which didn’t affect the three of them. They had to eat their snacks, do some light studying and review—they had to continue living normally.

“By the way, Yuki, I looked into what you asked me to.” While eating, Jixian suddenly spoke to Yuki.

“Hmm? How did it go?”

“Can’t find her, I completely can’t find her.” Jixian shrugged and looked at Ziyu. “You can ask this fool. Anyway, I looked through all of the first years and there’s absolutely no trace of that loli up there.”

“Don’t look at me, she wasn’t among the second years either.” Ziyu swallowed a mouthful of fried rice noodles, indicating that he too found nothing. “There weren’t even any absences among the second years. It would be impossible not to notice if she was missing.”

“First year is the same. Except for Eiru and a few people on leave, even those two problem classes had perfect attendance. Unless she’s a transfer student or something, there’s no way she could be a Seventh High student.” After saying this, Jixian picked up another pan-fried dumpling and put it in his mouth.

“I see. I’ll see if I can get the list of this year’s transfer students and new students from the teachers later… Thanks for the hard work.” Scratching his head, Yuki was even more puzzled. What exactly was Little Lu’s background?

“No trouble at all. Didn’t Yuki treat us to this meal? I definitely got my money’s worth.” Ziyu waved his hand, indicating it was a small matter. Just running some errands and getting a free late-night snack—he was making a profit.

“I think she just snuck in from outside. Otherwise, there’s no reason she’d come to the boys’ dormitory to mooch a bed. The girls’ dormitory doesn’t have such a bed shortage, right?” While munching on his snack, Jixian analyzed the situation.

“I don’t think so. This girl is quite familiar with the school. Don’t you remember the video someone took of her getting food in the cafeteria? She knows the cafeteria layout better than any of us.”

“Isn’t that because we order takeout all the time and rarely eat in the cafeteria?” Ziyu pointed out that their reputation as the takeout trio wasn’t earned for nothing.

In Seventh High, where ordering takeout wasn’t allowed, no one could match their experience in getting takeout delivered. Once caught, not only would the food be confiscated, but they’d also have to write self-criticism essays in the grade supervisor’s office. Besides patrolling teachers, security guards also actively cooperated with the school’s anti-takeout efforts. At Seventh High, only those with both intelligence and ability could enjoy the deliciousness of takeout.

Yuki had once jokingly said that rather than filling his stomach, ordering takeout was mainly about enjoying the process of outwitting security guards.

Avoiding patrolling teachers and guards, constantly coordinating with delivery drivers, changing pickup locations for food deliveries, even sending people to deliberately stand by the fence to attract teachers’ attention… various tactics emerged endlessly.

The process of getting takeout was one of the great joys of high school life…
