Demon King – Chapter 122 – The Very Popular Little Demon Lord

“What… what are you talking about!” Being flustered by the other party’s words for a moment, the little Demon Lord’s appearance formed a sharp contrast with her usual cunning image, making a certain JK girl very pleased.

“After all, between boys and girls, it’s more appropriate to use the term childhood sweethearts, right?”

“Stop talking! I’m going to change clothes! Help me watch my things…” Holding her clothes and standing up, after asking a staff member about the location of the changing room, Eiru ran toward the changing room in small steps, quickly escaping.

“I didn’t expect Sika Deer to be so cute. I wonder what kind of person her boyfriend is. But with such a cute little loli, ordinary boys wouldn’t bear to treat her badly, right…” Looking at Her Demon Lord Majesty’s retreating figure, Qi Yi expressed that she still trusted her partner’s judgment in people.

(Eiru: No, I really haven’t dated anyone, don’t overthink it.)

Before long, the little Demon Lord who had changed into military lolita came out of the changing room. Considering that this was a comic convention after all and wouldn’t cause any commotion, she ultimately chose to let her wings and tail out, since keeping them inside her body for a long time made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Under the backdrop of her outfit, this handsome and cute little loli attracted quite a bit of attention from the surrounding people from the first step she took out of the changing room. Besides the outfit’s enhancement, the wings and tail on her back, as well as the two horns on her head, added considerable points to the girl’s appearance.

“Wow, little sister, are you cosplaying Lu’s second design ¹ Lu/Ciel from Elsword ? So cute! Can you let me take a few photos? I’ll send them back to you!” A big sister holding a camera immediately noticed the little Demon Lord and quickly approached to request to take photos.

“Sure, no problem…” Having already considered the high probability of being photographed, Her Demon Lord Majesty had prepared herself mentally in advance. “But this is my first time participating in this kind of thing, so I don’t really understand poses and such…”

“No problem, no problem. Just be natural. I feel like you perfectly capture Lu’s aura. It’s like you’re Lu herself. I’ve never seen such amazing cosplay, little sister!” What seemed like polite words were actually the photographer’s genuine thoughts – she really had never seen such high-quality cosplay, as if the real character had jumped out from the screen.

Of course, it’s the real deal… I’m dressing up as myself, okay? Complaining in her mind, the little Demon Lord slightly raised both hands, keeping them not far from her waist, with her legs slightly apart, naturally striking a playful pose that caused exclamations from the surrounding people.

After changing several poses and taking countless photos, the photographer thanked her, exchanged contact information, and left with a satisfied expression. With this beginning, naturally more people made requests to the little Demon Lord. There were photographers hoping to take proper photos and pay her back, other cosplayers and fashion enthusiasts hoping for group photos, and quite a few ordinary visitors also joined the photography and group photo queue. For a while, the crowd around the little Demon Lord had reached a considerable level.

“Wow, Sika Deer is so popular.” The members of [Xiaoye Court] also noticed the situation on Eiru’s side. Some people voluntarily became flower protectors to prevent anyone from taking advantage under the pretense of group photos. Others voluntarily took on logistics work, buying water for little loli Eiru and such.

Unconsciously, the members of [Xiaoye Court] quite tacitly treated a certain Demon Lord as the guild’s mascot. After all, she was a loli… Without Her Demon Lord Majesty’s awareness, her position in the guild had already changed from being an ordinary member who was a cunning otaku boy to a loli mascot unanimously recognized by the whole guild.

However, if she knew, she would definitely feel that her dignity as a Demon Lord, which was almost nonexistent, had been challenged, and then started getting ruffled.

“I haven’t eaten lunch yet, let me go eat…” After standing in place being watched and photographed for quite a while, the little Demon Lord’s stomach started rumbling. Having not eaten lunch, she quickly pleaded with the crowd, and with the help of a group of flower protectors from the guild, finally managed to slip out from the crowd’s encirclement.

“I’m so hungry, Stupid Seven One. You promised to treat me to food…” As soon as she returned to the rest area where the [Xiaoye Court] members were, the little Demon Lord started complaining to her old partner Qi Yi.

“Okay, okay, okay, but there’s not much food at the comic convention. Either you go out and can’t come back in, or you go up to queue in that long, long line.” Saying this, Qi Yi pointed to the only food stall in the huge venue.

The food stall, without any other competition, operated with outrageous prices under a monopoly, and the queue was insanely long. After all, you were the only one selling food in the entire venue. If you didn’t want to go out and not be able to come back, unless you brought your own dry food or were official personnel, you could only solve your hunger problem at this stall. Large comic conventions having daily traffic of 100,000 people wasn’t strange at all. With such an exaggerated number of people piling up at one stall, you can imagine how scary that queue would be.

“Emmmmmm…” Looking at the queue that could last until who knows when, Her Demon Lord Majesty fell into a dilemma. Should she choose to go hungry and not waste this ticket, or choose to go out to fill her stomach and go straight home?

“Just kidding. Someone from the guild has already gone to queue and buy food for us. They’ll be back soon.” Seeing Her Demon Lord Majesty’s conflicted expression, Qi Yi couldn’t bear to continue bullying her.

“You should have said so earlier…” After complaining once, the little Demon Lord found a spot to sit on the cloth that guild members had spread on the ground. Although she really wanted to lie down and roll around, considering her image, she ultimately gave up this plan and sat down in a quite ladylike posture.

From when she finished changing clothes, if there were people familiar with her there, they could clearly see that Eiru was obviously much less mischievous. Her behavior was obviously much more well-behaved and dignified, restraining herself in all aspects and paying attention to her actions.

The reason for such a big change, besides the relatively minor image issues, was mainly because her tail and wings were outside, and she was afraid people would notice something suspicious. Because these two parts easily moved involuntarily with her emotions, the little Demon Lord had to control them well while also paying attention to the movements of her tail and wings.

At the same time, to avoid anyone accidentally touching these two sensitive parts, Eiru operated her mana in a special way, making her wings and tail temporarily lose any feeling as if they had been anesthetized. Although it didn’t affect her control, they had completely lost response to external stimuli.

After all, this involved the issue of identity exposure, and she never dared to be careless in this regard. If any commotion was caused, her life would be truly and completely ruined.

Although she was just sitting obediently in place, Her Demon Lord Majesty still attracted quite a few gazes. People passing by would basically turn their heads to look at her, and from time to time she could see some people holding up their phones to secretly photograph her. Moreover, whether it was her imagination or not, there seemed to be more people sitting near her.

After resting in place for most of the day, the guild members responsible for getting food finally returned with a bunch of food. Eiru’s eyes lit up – after being hungry for so long, there was finally something to eat…

Many people actually wanted to feed our little Demon Lord, but in the end, she declined. After all, Her Demon Lord Majesty was somewhat thin-skinned, and with too many people around, she really couldn’t handle it.

After eating lunch, there weren’t really any activities. Honestly, comic conventions – if you say they’re fun, there really aren’t that many playable projects. If you say there’s nothing fun about them, there are quite a few exhibition booths at comic conventions, and even just casually browsing around won’t be particularly boring. Moreover, the most important factor determining whether a comic convention is interesting or not depends on whether or not you go with other people, and whether or not they’re interesting people.

“Sika Deer, are you going to continue letting people take photos later?” Qi Yi asked casually.

“No way, I don’t want to be surrounded anymore. This afternoon I’ll just browse around casually.” Her Demon Lord Majesty decisively refused. She came to browse the exhibition and have fun. If she spent the whole day being photographed, then what kind of convention would it be?

The next activities were also simple – just a group of people browsing the exhibition everywhere. Occasionally when a few people came up wanting to take group photos with the little Demon Lord, she didn’t refuse either. As long as she wasn’t being blocked, taking a couple of casual photos wasn’t a big deal.

After an afternoon passed, the comic convention was almost closing time, and quite a few people had already left one after another. The little Demon Lord, who had long been tired from browsing, was now sitting in a seat provided by some esports exhibition booth, holding her phone and chatting with Yuki.

“How was it? Did you enjoy browsing the comic convention?”

“Just so-so. Honestly, I don’t particularly like this kind of crowded activity. And to be honest, it’s mainly just looking – there really isn’t much to play with.”

“Seeing you so bored, I should have gotten a ticket to accompany you if I had known. By the way, did that little loli from your house go with you?”

“What do you think? Besides, someone like you who can have fun with anything wouldn’t be bored anywhere, okay?” Although replying like this, Eiru was still complaining in her heart that it was good the other party didn’t come.

If her best friend really came, she wouldn’t be able to participate in the exhibition in her loli form. If that were the case, she’d rather not come at all, since the mana consumption was really unbearable.

“Stupid Seven One, let me change clothes and then let’s go out to eat?” Feeling that continuing to stay wouldn’t be interesting, Eiru raised her head and asked Qi Yi, who was also resting not far away.

“Sure, after all, I promised to treat today. You’re a local from Huanghai, so you definitely know where the good food is.” Qi Yi, who had similar thoughts, immediately responded to the little Demon Lord.

After all, most people had left, and the activities that should have happened had already passed. The huge venue was much quieter compared to noon. Some official exhibition booths had already packed up and were preparing to leave. For casual visitors like them, there wasn’t much left for them at the venue.

“OK, I’ll go change clothes. Wait for me here.” Holding the casual clothes she came in, the little Demon Lord ran toward the changing room and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“But honestly speaking, this ticket price really isn’t worth it. Maybe I’m just not suited for this kind of activity?” In the changing room, the little Demon Lord complained while taking off her outfit. Although she didn’t spend her own money, she still felt a bit sorry about it.
