Demon King – Chapter 131 – Even Sleeping on the Sofa Needs a Pillow

“Don’t cry, I’m not yelling at you…” Seeing the girl’s teary-eyed appearance, Yuki panicked and quickly let go of her hand to explain.

“I’m not crying!” Although the reason was different from what Yuki thought, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s tears at the corners of her eyes left her with no credibility at all.

“Okay, okay, you’re not crying, you’re not crying…” Quickly grabbing two tissues, Yuki wiped the tears from the corners of the girl’s eyes while coaxing her.

While wiping, Yuki suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong with the girl’s clothes under her short cape. It looked like… There was a hole?

“Alright, alright, I really wasn’t crying.” Holding stuff in her left hand, the little Demon Lord shook her head to try and make him let go of her.

“There really is something wrong with your hand, what happened?” Yuki became more certain of his deduction and asked again.

Normally, when faced with this situation, she would’ve broken free by pushing him away… but she only shook her head without moving her right hand at all, which was very abnormal.

“I already said I just bumped it… Ah, what are you doing!” Eiru, who was planning to continue being stubborn, before the other party suddenly reached out and lifted her cape.

“This…” Yuki stared at the hole in her clothes, stunned. A bandage caught his eye through the hole in her clothes, before noticing that the bandage was stained red.

“What happened?!” Grabbing the girl’s left shoulder to prevent her from escaping, Yuki was quite frightened by this scene.

He clearly remembered that she didn’t act like this before she went out… What exactly had she been doing outside? What had she encountered?

“Alright… It’s not a big deal. Just got stabbed once…” Seeing that she couldn’t hide it anymore, the little Demon Lord came clean, but still maintained a  casual attitude.

“You…” Yuki’s face was full of surprise. He couldn’t understand why the girl could so casually say such terrifying words. Does she not know how to take care of herself at all?

“Actually, I acted heroically!” Thinking about it, Her Majesty the Demon Lord used what she thought was a passable explanation, “Then I was gloriously wounded in the fierce struggle!”

(Masked man: MMP ¹ Basically translates to ‘son of a bitch’ , I got taken down immediately after one sneak attack stab, what fierce struggle was that?)

“Don’t worry, the wound has been treated.” Seeing the other party’s worried expression, Eiru quickly explained. “Just need to change the bandage from time to time and rest for a while to recover.”

Although it looked scary, this kind of external injury wasn’t worth worrying about in a certain Demon Lord’s eyes. After all, as a member of the demon race, her healing ability was not just a little bit stronger than ordinary people… Compared to internal injuries and chronic problems like her bones and joints, an external wound wasn’t really a big deal.

“Should I take you to the hospital? Can’t you just hide your wings and tail?” Seeing such a scary injury on the girl’s petite body, Yuki felt his heart drop, but more than that was self-blame for not protecting her properly.

“No, no, no, my demon characteristics aren’t just reflected in the extra parts on the outside.” The little Demon Lord was so scared that she shook her head like a rattling drum. “Don’t underestimate doctors’ observational skills, they could easily tell I’m not human.”

“Besides, a treatment for a human might not necessarily work on a demon, this kind of injury is already sufficient just handling it like this at home.” Putting down the bag, the little Demon Lord grabbed Yuki’s arm with her left hand and gently shook it.

“Really, it’s fine~ Stupid Yuki… trust me~” Her sweet, coquettish tone made Yuki somewhat unable to resist.

“Alright, I trust you…” Having said that much, Yuki couldn’t say anything more. “The wound must be very painful, right? You’ve suffered a lot…”

Reaching out to touch the other party’s bandage, afraid of hurting the girl, Yuki’s movements were very light and measured. Heartache, sadness, self-blame, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, wishing that he was the one who got hurt instead.

“Well… It’s okay now, it doesn’t hurt as much anymore.” Since the other party already knew, Eiru was too lazy to hide the medicine and bandages anymore, dumping them all onto the table.

“But the wound can’t touch water, so I can’t bathe today.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord pulled open a small drawer concealed under the sofa, taking out a small first-aid kit. “So you sleep in my room tonight, I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.”

“What?” Yuki somewhat doubted whether he had heard wrong.

Are you kidding? You’re a little loli, and an injured patient at that, how could I possibly let you sleep on the sofa? And if you’re sleeping on the sofa, how could I, a grown man, have the nerve to just sleep on your bed? Wouldn’t that be shameful?

“I don’t want to get on the bed without bathing, so sleeping on the sofa is better tonight.” Ignoring Yuki’s reaction, the little Demon Lord organized the things on the table into the medical kit while talking to herself.

After all, she was quite particular about cleanliness… Besides, Yuki had already bathed, and firstly the sofa couldn’t fit two people, secondly it would be wasteful to have a bed and not use it. So after thinking for less than five seconds, Eiru made the decision to let her best friend sleep in her bed while she slept on the sofa.

“No way, I’m also someone with dignity. If you’re sleeping on the sofa, how could I have the nerve to sleep in your bed?” Yuki shook his head, firmly refusing. “How about I just make a bed on the floor in the living room, and if your wound hurts in the middle of the night, I can get up to take care of you.”

“No need, no need, I don’t need anyone to take care of me. Besides, we’re good brothers, so if there’s a spare bed, how could I let you sleep on the floor?” The little Demon Lord waved her hand, indicating she had the ability to take care of herself.

“No, I’ll still sleep on the floor.”

“That won’t work, you have to sleep in the room.”

——Two idiots arguing——

“Fine, fine, you sleep in the living room… you’re so stubborn.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord held her head helplessly. “But I won’t make a bed on the floor for you, there aren’t that many blankets.”

“You put the sofa back down, it’ll be enough for two people to sleep, so you can sleep on the sofa with me.”

“Eh?” Yuki was confused, he really didn’t expect this development.

“Eh what eh? The past few nights when you were sleeping, didn’t you enjoy hugging me? Or are you saying you’ve gotten tired of hugging me after a few times?” Eiru put on an expression like she was looking at a scumbang, “Offering to be your pillow, and you’re not happy about it anymore?”

“Happy, I’m happy… but I’m a bit afraid of hurting you at night.”

“Come on, just be more careful? Position yourself properly and don’t use too much force, how could it hurt? Why do I feel like this conversation is getting weird…”

Rolling her eyes at the other party, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly felt the topic was somewhat off.

“Anyway, that’s settled, when it’s time to sleep later, we’ll put the sofa back down. For now, watch a movie with me and keep me company, we still have a while before bed, so with all this food just treat it as passing time.” Stuffing the organized first-aid kit into the drawer, Her Majesty the Demon Lord pushed Yuki onto the sofa to sit down, then used the remote to turn on the TV in front of them.

Skillfully selecting two movies that looked quite interesting, the little Demon Lord turned around, hugged a bag of potato chips, before plopping down on Yuki’s lap…
