Demon King – Chapter 142 – Chat Channels Gradually Synchronizing…

“Uh…” As soon as these words came out, Eiya immediately put on a look of ‘caring concern.’ The terrifying atmosphere that His Majesty the Demon Lord had worked so hard to build just went poof…

“I didn’t expect it but… you’re also a chuunibyou…” Eiya sighed, “I’m supposed to be the one in that phase… though you’re in second year of high school, so I guess it’s ok that you’re still a chuuni.”

“But why do your eyes glow?” Eiya curiously touched the corner of the other party’s eye, “Are they some kind of special colored contacts? You actually sleep without taking them off…”

As she spoke, Eiya closed her mouth. Because she noticed that the other party was staring straight at her, with a serious expression on her face.

“My brother… what exactly happened to him?” Eiya’s voice became much quieter, “The not being human thing, that’s a joke, right?”

“I’ve already given you the answer. How you react and handle it is your problem.” Closing her eyes and turning away, the little demon lord indicated that she had revealed enough and didn’t want to continue.

“My brother isn’t here right now, is that also why?” Eiya asked tentatively, “Because he’s afraid of affecting me? Does night time have some bad influence?”

“He’s right here, you just can’t see him…”

“He disappears at night?” With the other party’s back to her, unable to see her expression at all, Eiya started to panic.

Eiru didn’t answer. Uncertain about her younger sister’s attitude, being able to say this much was already going all out for her. She was also panicking like crazy right now—why was she so impulsive and revealed so much?

It was all because of that weird dream, which had lowered her psychological defenses considerably. If she got exposed and rejected, she probably wouldn’t even have this rental place to live in… How would she live her life after that!

“Please tell me, big sister… don’t speak in riddles…” Eiya, who had lost all sleepiness, sat up and gently shook the girl in front of her.

“You tell me first, how would you treat your brother?” Pretending to be calm as she asked, the little demon lord anxiously waited for her younger sister’s answer.

“Can you tell me, can you guarantee that no matter what he becomes, you’ll be able to accept him?”

“I… probably can’t.” Eiya lowered her head, “It would still depend on the situation.”

“If he became a monster or something, I really couldn’t guarantee whether I could…” The words Eiya spoke made Eiru’s heart instantly turn half cold.

After all, if he became something like a zombie with no rationality that only attacked people, no one would be able to accept that, right? It would certainly hurt and she’d be very sad, but no matter who it was, they wouldn’t be able to accept the thing itself, right?

On the other side, having a cross-server chat with her younger sister, Eiru curled up her body and lowered her head, her heart full of complexity and pain.

As expected, her younger sister still couldn’t possibly accept the non-human version of herself… Fortunately, she hadn’t revealed enough for it to be irreversible. Thinking of this, Eiru suddenly felt like crying.

Even her sister, who could be said to be closest to her, couldn’t accept the changes in her body. What about when it came to mom and dad? Getting kicked out and becoming a lab rat in the dream… those things might actually happen.

“But! No matter what, from today until bedtime, I saw that he was still fine! He even coaxed me, so my brother definitely isn’t some kind of monster!” Seeing the other party’s silent appearance, Eiya spoke up again.

“You said he can’t appear at night, so he must only become dangerous at night, right? If that’s the case, then there must still be room for recovery!”

“What are you talking about?” His Majesty the Demon Lord was somewhat confused…

What do you mean can’t appear at night? And where did being dangerous come from? Did she say any of these things just now? What weird things had this girl imagined again?

“As long as he’s a normal person, even for just one day or one minute, he’s still my brother. And my brother’s condition must still be salvageable! I’ll definitely find a way to turn him back into a normal person!”

“After all, you dare to let him out during the day, and only lock him up at night. This proves that most of the time, my brother’s condition is controllable, isn’t it?”

“So, please take me to see him. I’m very worried about him…” Eiya pleaded. She really cared about her big brother’s current condition.

“Hah… alright then.” Although this girl’s thoughts were somewhat fantastical, Eiru had received a satisfactory answer. The stone in her heart had finally fallen…

Eiru turned around and climbed up, W-sitting on the bed ¹ Imagine her legs being in kind of a W, google it if you’re confused , staring at this familiar yet somewhat strange sister of hers with a serious look, and slowly began to speak:

“You have to promise me first, although I don’t force you to accept him like nothing happened… Even if you find him disgusting and reject him, I won’t mind. But at least, if you can’t accept it, please help keep it secret and don’t cause him more trouble. He didn’t choose to become like this.”

“No problem, as long as he maintains his rationality, I could never reject him! Don’t worry!” Eiya promised earnestly, having already prepared herself mentally to meet an alien.

“Alright then…” Breathing a sigh of relief, the little demon lord supported herself with her hands between her legs and slightly lowered her head toward the other party.

“Touch my head.”

“Huh? What the heck? Aren’t you taking me to see my brother?” Eiya was confused. Why did she always change topics so quickly?!

“Just touch it when I tell you to! Hurry up!” Seeing the other party’s lack of response, the little demon lord shouted somewhat impatiently.

“Oh… okay…” Although she didn’t understand, Eiya still put her hand on the girl’s head, “What next?”

“Move your hand to the side, toward my ears.”

Eiya obediently moved her hand according to the other party’s request, and suddenly felt like she had touched something invisible.

“What is… this?” Gently exploring with her hand, under her amazed gaze, a pair of strange things on the other party’s head gradually faded into view…

“Horns?” Although it was dark in the room and Eiya couldn’t see very clearly, based on the outline and the feeling in her hand, she could roughly determine they were almost like horns.

“Wait? Then the tail I saw behind you today?” Thinking of the morning’s events, Eiya suddenly realized something. Along with her words, a rope-like thing climbed onto her hand and wrapped around her arm.

Looking closely, it was exactly the tail she had seen in the morning. Following the direction of the tail, the other end was connected to the back of the girl in front of her.

Non-human body parts, plus what the girl had just said, combined with all the weird things her big brother had said today…

Although those words seemed fine when she first heard them, now that Eiya thought about it again, recalling those words, she suddenly felt like everything could be explained.

“Brother?” Looking at the silver-haired little loli sitting obediently on the bed with her hands supporting herself between her legs, Eiya felt that her worldview had been greatly impacted.

“Good evening, Eiya~” Tilting her head and smiling, beneath the seemingly calm exterior, a certain loli was actually more panicked than anyone else right now…
