Demon King – Chapter 110 – Rooftop Conversation

“Uh… as long as you’re happy…” Yuki was almost getting used to a certain loli rambling from time to time.

“Fried chicken and hamburger, Stupid Yuki, you actually ordered this for lunch?” Opening the bag, the little demon king’s eyes immediately lit up. “French fries! My favorite!”

“Alright, alright, hurry up and eat…” Yuki held his head helplessly. “It won’t taste good if it gets cold… and I need to ask you some things after you finish eating.”

“Mm-hmm!” Putting on disposable gloves, Her Majesty the Demon King grabbed the fried chicken with both hands and took a big bite, immediately showing a blissful expression.

“Stupid Yuki… you know what?” Chewing on the fried chicken, the little demon king asked her buddy beside her somewhat unclearly.

“Do you know what appears on your face if you eat fried food often?”

“Uh… are you trying to say these things are too unhealthy?” Yuki felt somewhat awkward… talking about this while eating it so happily isn’t quite right, is it?

“No, no… what appears on your face is, of course, a smile!” Saying this, she took another bite. “Mmm! Eating fried chicken is so good!”

“Even if you’re happy, you can’t eat too much. Having it occasionally is fine…” Yuki was immediately amused by the girl’s reaction and reached out to tap her little head with his finger.

“Give me another can of happy water! Glug glug glug…” The little demon king picked up a can of cola next to her and gulped it down…

“Don’t drink so fast…” Seeing the girl drink more than half in one go and looking like she was choking, Yuki quickly reached out and gently patted her back.

“Stupid Yuki, it seems you don’t understand the essence of happy water’s happiness…” Having caught her breath, Her Majesty the Demon King stared seriously at Yuki beside her.

“The essence of happiness?” Yuki was a bit confused. Why did this sound familiar? It seemed  like something Eiru had said before…

“Could it be… drinking the fizz?”

“Of course… a can of cola costs two yuan, and the first sip is worth one yuan and eighty cents.” Eiru held up the cola can in her hand, gently swaying it under the sun.

“Twenty cents is for the aluminum can… the rest is just sugar water. The most stimulating, fizziest, most throat-burning first sip is the happiest part of drinking happy water… so of course you have to drink more on the first sip.”

“Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy… hurry up and eat.” Yuki wasn’t unable to understand this—honestly, he occasionally did the same thing.

“This shop’s packaging is pretty good too… Let me tell you, when I used to order takeout, those shops often stuffed the happy water together with the food!” The little demon king suddenly changed the topic and started complaining to Yuki.

“Then, when it was delivered, the cola was warmed up by the food, right? You’ve said this many times…” Halfway through his sentence, Yuki suddenly stopped, realizing that the person in front of him wasn’t his buddy.

His buddy would often complain about the weird situations he encountered when ordering takeout before, whenever Yuki got him cola with his takeout. He could almost recite it by now.

“Exactly, how can you drink cola if it’s not cold? Warm happy water has no happiness at all!” Swinging her legs in the air, the little demon king took another bite of fried chicken with a dejected expression.

“Why did you stop talking? And what did you want to ask me?” Seeing her buddy suddenly go quiet, she turned to look and found him staring at her with a thoughtful expression.

“Just asking if you’ve seen Eiru. His phone is off and I can’t reach him…” Snapped back to reality by her question, Yuki asked what he wanted to know.

“I saw him. He left right after the exam finished. You won’t find him.” Her Majesty the Demon King replied without changing expression—after all, she was telling the truth, just depending on how you interpreted it.

“I see… were you in the same exam room as him?”

“Bleh…” However, the girl only answered him with a silly face, leaving him momentarily speechless.

“Forget it, how did your exam go?” Yuki was too lazy to pursue this and changed the question.

“So-so, around forty points… how about you?” The girl looked nonchalant, as if this was quite a decent score, making Yuki wonder if he had misheard.

Forty points on a 150-point test… so this girl was a bad student? But not everyone could be like Eiru… This girl skipped class every day, so bad grades were normal.

Thinking this, not wanting to discourage her, Yuki just patted her little head without answering.

“Stop pretending…” The little demon king rolled her eyes at him. She knew exactly what he meant. “It’s not like I don’t know how good your grades are. I know your level better than anyone.”

“Alright, alright, do you want me to tutor you? Forty points is indeed a bit low.”

“No way, this score is fine.” Eiru turned her head away. “I’m not planning to get good grades anyway. Slacking off is happiness.”

“Well…” Yuki felt somewhat troubled. After all, in society, grades were still quite important. This girl’s attitude was even more problematic than his buddy’s…

After all, Eiru was doing it intentionally and said he would perform seriously on things like college entrance exams, not joking around with such matters. But this girl… maybe because she wasn’t human? So she didn’t care?

“Honestly, I’d really like you to be in the same class as me…” Yuki sat down next to the girl, looking earnest.

“You and Eiru both don’t have many friends… I’d really like you both to be in my class so I can look after you.”

“Emmmmm…” This was the first time she’d heard this. The little demon king was surprised but also sat quietly listening to him continue.

“Eiru probably wouldn’t agree, so I’ve never talked to him about this. Besides, with his ability, you should know—if he wanted to, even my position as the top student would be his.”

“As for you, you’re usually pretty silly, and I’m quite worried about you being bullied by others. Plus, you’re a transfer student or something, right? So I think as one of your few friends, I should take better care of you.” Yuki reached out and brushed the silvery-white hair from the girl’s forehead.

“This final exam and next semester’s first monthly exam will determine class arrangements… Once grades come out, they’ll probably arrange the classes immediately, right?”

“So, would you like to be in the same class as me? There’s still a chance with the next monthly exam. If you’re willing, let me or Eiru tutor you. You’re pretty smart, so catching up definitely won’t be a problem…” Yuki took out a tissue and wiped the oil from the corner of the girl’s mouth while talking.

“I’ll think about it…” Eiru lowered her head, getting conflicted internally.

He’s in the honors class! If I go there, my whole life would probably change completely. But looking at him, he really seems to want me to accompany him… Ahhhh, this is so hard for me!

“By the way, are you choosing science or liberal arts? I forgot to ask just now… Eiru and I both decided to choose science. Generally, girls choose liberal arts more often?” Yuki suddenly realized a serious problem.
