Demon King – Chapter 124 – Yuki Came to Deliver the Cat

After finishing dinner, the little Demon Lord was full and ready to go home. However, Qi Yi still had other activities to participate in, so she wouldn’t be returning to Qionglong City immediately. Instead, she found a hotel near the Huanghai Exhibition Center and planned to stay for two days.

“Be careful about your safety. Don’t go out at night, and try not to go anywhere alone.” Her Demon Lord Majesty advised the other party. After all, what she heard from the taxi driver on the way here still made her somewhat worried about Qi Yi’s safety.

“Silly loli, you’re the one who should be careful. Should I send you back instead? You’re so small, are you really okay going back by yourself?” Qi Yi found it somewhat funny. Compared to her, this little loli in front of her should be more worried about her own safety, right?

“I came here by myself, so why would I be afraid of this kind of thing? Don’t be a coward… After all, I’ve lived in Huanghai for so many years, haven’t I? You’re an outsider who’s unfamiliar with the place, so you need to pay more attention to your safety!”

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this. It’s getting late, so hurry up and take the subway back.” Looking at the sunset that was almost setting, Qi Yi quickly urged the other party to hurry home.

“Okay, then I’m leaving.”

“Get home safe!”

Qi Yi, who was worried about the other party, kept watching until she entered the subway station before turning back towards her hotel. But not long after she left, our little Demon Lord slipped out of the subway station again.

“Like hell I’m going to squeeze onto the subway… What am I, a masochist?” She had wings and could fly. If she couldn’t fly when coming here, surely she could when going back, right?

The little Demon Lord looked around, searching for a tall enough building for takeoff. She didn’t want to squeeze onto the subway with a bunch of people again. Moreover, she had been groped on the subway today. Although she had broken the other party’s hands, she still felt like she had suffered a loss.

Her Demon Lord Majesty was quite particular about such matters. Anyone who dared to grope her would never have a good ending. Oh, except for Stupid Yuki – that one was compensation she offered herself, so it didn’t count!

After finding a suitable building and easily getting inside using her appearance, the little Demon Lord took the elevator to the top floor, then climbed the stairs to the rooftop.

Of course, to avoid leaving any traces, Her Demon Lord Majesty had always had the habit of hacking surveillance cameras along the way when moving in her true form.

Compared to simply making surveillance stop working and power off from the beginning, with her increasingly skillful mana control, she could now casually tamper with surveillance footage to a certain degree. For her now, even if she walked past surveillance cameras, her figure wouldn’t appear in the footage at all.

Flapping her wings and flying up, after determining the direction, Eiru flew straight toward the clouds. When she reached a height where people on the ground couldn’t detect her, Her Demon Lord Majesty flew at full speed toward her rental apartment without any concerns…

Switching perspectives—

Although he had seen Eiru and Little Lu in the same frame several times afterward, Yuki just felt something was off. On his way to his best friend’s house, Yuki kept thinking about whether there was something wrong with all this.

After thinking for a long time without reaching any conclusion, he patted Gulu who was obediently following beside him, and Yuki felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, it was his own cat, but he couldn’t bring it home and had to ask others to help take care of it – anyone would feel awkward about this.

Fortunately, Eiru had gotten familiar with Gulu. If Eiru was still the same as when he first moved into the dorm, being terrified of Gulu, Yuki really wouldn’t know where to leave him.

“Be good when you get to Eiru’s house, and be obedient. When you see Little Lu, remember to help me bully her a bit, since she’s really too mischievous.” Arriving at the bottom floor of Eiru’s building, Yuki groomed the big cat’s fur while yapping. He stopped walking, and Yuki suddenly noticed something, looking up to see what seemed to be something flying in the sky.

But he couldn’t see clearly what it was due to the darkness. Before long, as the unidentified object approached, Yuki gradually made out its true identity.

His pupils dilated immediately, and the other party seemed to have discovered him too, circling in the sky as if being vigilant about something. After quite a while, a certain silver-haired little loli finally descended from the sky.

“What are you doing here?” After confirming there really was no one around, the little Demon Lord slowly descended, gently landing next to the other party. She couldn’t figure out why her best friend had suddenly come here at this time. Could he be here to mooch some food? But he should have eaten by now at this hour…

“Delivering the cat. Eiru said he’d help me take care of Gulu. Didn’t he tell you?” Saying this, Yuki shook the big cat in his hands.

“I think there was something like that…” Supporting her chin in thought, Her Demon Lord Majesty remembered she had indeed agreed to such a thing.

“But where did you go? Flying so conspicuously, weren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Yuki was also surprised. The girl should be the type who was afraid of being discovered and didn’t go out much. “Dressed so prettily, you didn’t go on a date, did you?”

“?” Eiru slowly produced a question mark. Although she knew it was a joke, she somehow felt the other party’s last sentence had a sour tone to it…

“So do you want to go on a date with me? I can be salty or sweet~” Patting her skirt, she half-jokingly responded. Little did she know that someone’s heartbeat quickened by a few beats after hearing this.

“As for why I chose to fly back, it’s because I was groped by perverts on the subway today. I don’t want to experience that feeling again, so I just flew back…” Shrugging her shoulders, Eiru had a nonchalant attitude. But when Yuki heard this, he immediately became tense.

“Who? They didn’t do anything to you, right? I told you girls need to be careful about safety when they’re out…” Grabbing the girl’s arm, Yuki looked devastated.

“Wow, your cool male god persona is ruined!” Breaking free from the other party’s restraint, Her Demon Lord Majesty ruthlessly complained. “And I’m fine. It was just too crowded on the subway, and those two guys took advantage of the crowd to grope me a few times. But don’t worry, I directly broke their hands.”

With hands on her hips, the little Demon Lord looked triumphant. Her cute little face was written all over with the words “praise me,” which directly made the person in front of her laugh.

“Pfft…” Unable to hold back his laughter, just as he raised his head to look at the other party and prepare to say something, Yuki suddenly felt something rush into his embrace.

“Mm~ hug for a bit~” The little Demon Lord buried her face in the other party’s chest, gently rubbing her head against him a few times. Her hands wrapped around the other party’s waist, and her tail behind her swayed back and forth, putting her happy mood on full display.

One hand around the girl’s back, the other hand rubbing her little head. Yuki expressed that he had gotten used to the girl’s occasional coquettish behavior. Rather than being used to it, he was particularly fond of it.

“Have you eaten? Do you want to go up and eat?” Eiru raised her head, her watery eyes staring at her best friend in front of her.

“I’ve eaten. But you’re back so late, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?” Hooking the girl’s nose with his finger, Yuki asked with a smile.

“I already ate, I was just asking.” Releasing her hands, the little Demon Lord left Yuki’s embrace and walked half a circle around him.

“I see… huh?” Just as Yuki was still savoring the remaining warmth on him, he suddenly felt his back sink. The girl pounced on his back, her hands around his neck, her whole body hanging on him.

“Carry me upstairs~” Shaking her head and acting cute, the little Demon Lord expressed that she didn’t want to climb stairs anymore.

“Alright, alright, my little princess.” Adjusting his posture to carry the girl on his back, he walked toward the stairs. Seeing the two were about to leave, Gulu quickly followed.

“Speaking of which, didn’t Eiru take you to the comic convention?” Yuki asked curiously. He thought his best friend would bring this cute little loli along.

“Bleh!” Making a face, Her Demon Lord Majesty expressed that she didn’t want to answer this question.

“Alright, alright, then has Eiru come back?” Thinking the girl was angry because his best friend didn’t take her along, Yuki very consciously changed to another question.

“He’s back… but also not really back?” Looking at Gulu who was following beside them, Eiru expressed that this statement actually wasn’t wrong. Usually when her true form was present, the Eiru you saw was just an illusion she created using your big cat.

Of course, how could Yuki possibly know these things? He simply thought the girl didn’t know whether his best friend had returned or not.

“Here, the door key.” When they reached the door, the little Demon Lord on his back took out the key and handed it to him.

“Mm, speaking of which, do you want to consider living at my place? All meals and living expenses included, you know?” While opening the door, Yuki still didn’t forget to try to poach some talent.

Although he already knew that Eiru and Little Lu weren’t a couple and wouldn’t develop into one, if possible, Yuki still really hoped the girl would come live at his house. Living somewhere else was still living, right? And under the same roof, it would be convenient for him to pursue her…

“I~ absolutely~ won’t~” The expected answer. Yuki didn’t say anything, just smiled, with more relief than disappointment behind his small letdown.

After all, if it were him, he wouldn’t suddenly agree to live in a member of the opposite sex’s house either. At least the girl still had this awareness and wouldn’t be easily abducted by others. This put him at ease quite a bit. Even if he left Little Lu at Eiru’s house, he didn’t have to worry about her being stolen by others.

“Stupid Yuki, let me ask you a question.” The girl on his back blew in his ear and suddenly spoke, asking a question that caught Yuki off guard.

“What kind… of girls do you like?”
