Demon King – Chapter 155 – Her Majesty the Demon Lord Is Still On the Road Looking for Her Sister

“Not here… not here either…” Just walking out from the warehouse of some thug hideout, the little demon lord looked like she was about to cry.

What are you crying about? We haven’t even cried yet! This was the collective sentiment of all the fallen delinquents behind her.

No, she had to think positively… Maybe Eiya had already gone home and was waiting for her there… But how was that possible?! Even now she still wasn’t picking up her calls…

Although the signal coverage in the East District wasn’t great, she should be able to find plenty of places with signal and pick up her call, right?

And it was already getting dark. No matter how much Eiya liked to play, she would at least check in to let her know she was safe, right? Obviously something troublesome had happened…

Having visited almost all the delinquent hideouts in the East District, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was no longer worried about her sister being kidnapped by delinquents. She must have encountered some other kind of trouble.

“Whatever, hibernation or not, Eiya is more important.” Finding a building of suitable height, her tail extended and wings spread, the demon lord who was anxious about her sister, activated the mana dormant within her body and opened her arms while standing on the rooftop…

On the other side, Eiya walked out of the supermarket carrying a couple shopping bags of stuff…

“It’s so late already?” Looking at the darkened sky, Eiya frowned. But more than anything, she was more worried about her sister’s situation.

“No phone call even now, she’s been sleeping way too long…”

Because Eiru wasn’t human, her body had many complications that even she couldn’t figure out, Eiya was somewhat worried that something might be wrong with her sister’s body for her to sleep this long.

“I need to hurry back… If she keeps sleeping like this, even if there’s nothing wrong, she’ll sleep herself into trouble…”

Looking at the phone’s navigation, Eiya carried her things and walked quickly toward the apartment building where Eiru lived.

“It’s quite far. Sigh… carrying bags with no one to help is really tiring.” After crossing several intersections, Eiya already felt her arms getting sore.

Because of the poor signal, she couldn’t rely on her phone’s navigation for directions the whole time. She could only determine a general direction and then walk there through her own sense of direction.

The East District was different from the developed West District. There were quite a few old buildings and clusters of small alleys here, densely packed together like a maze.

When her parents had come to pick someone up before, she had heard them emphasize that in the East District, you should take the main roads whenever possible. Unless you were a local who had lived here for several years, it was easy to enter the small alleys but hard to get out… People unfamiliar with the roads could easily get lost inside if they weren’t careful.

Most importantly, her sister had emphasized to her that the small alleys in the East District often had small-time thugs and delinquents lurking around. Even locals generally wouldn’t go in unless they really had to… Walking in there was just asking for trouble.

But now Eiya faced two choices: one was to take the main roads as usual, but that would mean going around several intersections and walking much further; two was to go straight through the small alleys, and if things went smoothly, directly pass through the cluster of buildings and save more than twenty minutes of travel time.

After thinking about it, the soreness in her arms from carrying things plus worrying about her sister made Eiya grit her teeth and walk into the small alley.

Overall, Eiya really was overthinking it. With her sense of direction, as long as she took navigating seriously, generally speaking, even in this kind of complex alley cluster, she wouldn’t get lost.

As for the, unbeknownst to someone… Almost all the delinquents in the alleys of the East District were wiped out by a certain someone.

Eiya walked inside carefully, checking her surroundings. Honestly, this kind of experience was unexpectedly quite thrilling and interesting for someone like her who had grown up sheltered.

According to what she had seen on maps earlier, after passing through this current cluster of alleys, she only needed to pass through one more cluster to reach the street where her sister lived.

“It really is like a maze…” Carefully determining her route, Eiya was still somewhat afraid that she might’ve gotten lost.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. Before long, she saw the streetlights and found the exit on the other side of the alley.

Arriving at the main road, Eiya breathed a sigh of relief. This success also added quite a bit of confidence… She had saved more than ten minutes of travel time and in her eyes, experienced some of the thrill of adventure. Wasn’t that a win?

Crossing the street to the other side and checking maps, Eiya didn’t have as many qualms this time. She confidently walked into the small alley.

But after she had been in the alley for some time, two men sitting by the roadside picked up a bag and also followed her in…

— The perspective shifts to Yuki —

Having just finished helping his mother move a whole bunch of stuff, he was sitting on the sofa in his mother’s office resting.

“This is the guy that Lu caught when she saved that guy?” Looking at the news message pushed to his phone, Yuki’s eye twitched a bit.

“Frustrated in love, attempted murder with intent to take revenge on his lover… I guess Lu was a witness, so that guy wanted to silence her?” Reading through the specific details, Yuki felt somewhat fortunate.

Good thing that she was a demon and had knocked this guy down in minutes. But the injury she received really made his heart hurt. Such a cute loli, and this person could actually bring himself to hurt her?

“But these small alleys in the East District really are paradise for these criminals… When will someone finally clean them up…”

Although he thought this, Yuki was also clear that actually cleaning them up would be extremely difficult. After all, the most efficient method would be to tear down all those old buildings and rebuild them all, the residents definitely wouldn’t agree to that.

Those living in these urban village buildings were basically all older generation people with generally very stubborn personalities. The elderly’s nostalgic psychology made it very hard for them to accept new residences, so naturally they would cling to their places and refuse to leave.

“Anyway, this kind of thing isn’t for us to worry about…” Scratching his head, Yuki smiled wryly.

After all, just worrying about it was pretty pointless… As an ordinary citizen, besides trying to be careful not to enter these small alleys, there wasn’t anything else they could do, right?

“Mom, is Dad coming home for dinner today?” Yuki asked his mother, who was organizing company documents nearby. “If he’s coming back, I’ll have Auntie make more food?”

“He’s probably not coming back. If he were, he’d say so… Your father hasn’t come home more than a few times all year…”

“That’s true…” Yuki fiddled with his phone and sent a text message to the housekeeper at home.

Although his old man had recently been transferred back to work near home and could come back… basically he still ate dinner at work. If he was coming home for dinner, he would generally say so in advance.
