Demon King – Chapter 160 – The Title Was Taken to Be Cooked

Translator Note

GG, author ate the title.

“Sis, are you okay?” Early in the morning, Eiya expressed great concern at a certain girl who was trying to stubbornly walk around despite her injuries.

“It’s not a big deal, don’t worry…” The little demon lord gritted her teeth. Although she said this, her legs actually hurt so much that she felt like she was about to cry.

But she was the older brother… She couldn’t lose face in front of her sister! As the older sibling, she had to stay strong and support her sister.

“After I disguise myself, remember not to call me sister…” After giving a few instructions, under Eiya’s horrified gaze, Her Majesty the Demon Lord stuck the tip of her tail into a wall outlet…

“Sis! That’s dangerous! You’ll get electro-“

“I’m charging up, don’t make a fuss…” Since she had to do energy absorption, conversion, and filtering manually, Eiru interrupted her sister’s words to avoid being distracted during the conversion process.

“Go change clothes and pack up first. The police will probably call us soon…” Eiru waved her hand to urge her sister along…

And she also needed to adapt to the pain first, since she’d have to interact with people in disguised form later, she couldn’t let anyone suspect that she was injured.

After Eiya went into the room, before long, the landline phone in the living room rang, and Eiru could roughly guess who was calling…

“Eiya, go answer the phone! I’m still charging…”

“Oh, oh…” Eiya hurriedly ran out from the room and answered the phone…

“Mm… okay, understood…” Seeing her sister nodding and responding with “mm-hmm, ah-ah,” the little demon lord checked her mana reserves. It should be enough to maintain her disguise for a couple hours.

She pulled out her tail with a few electric sparks still coming from the socket, and at the same time, Eiya hung up the phone.

“I’m going to wash my tail… Was that the police calling?” Limping toward the bathroom, Eiru turned back to ask Eiya.

“Yes, they’re asking us to come over to answer some questions…”

“You better remember what we talked about yesterday… This isn’t a joke.” Dampening a towel to gently wipe down her tail, the little demon lord gave a serious look to her sister.

“I know… but sis, are you really going like this? Why don’t you just say that you’re injured and I’ll just go by myself?”

“Stop fooling around. How do you think I would feel if I made you go there alone?” Hanging up the towel, Eiru slowly walked out, practicing how to walk normally without looking like she’s injured.

“Besides, I can’t make contact with people in my true form. Other than when I get injured while disguised, none of my injuries will show on the disguise…” The little demon lord gave a serious analysis. “If they examine me and think that I’m fine, things will be even more troublesome.”

“Then… let me carry you partway…” Eiya still couldn’t bear to let her endure such pain walking the whole way.

“I’m telling you, can you carry me for that long…” The little demon lord rolled her eyes at her sister. “You’re just a fourteen-year-old loli, how are you going to carry me?”

“I’m 155cm! Where’s the loli part! You’re the one who’s 140cm, you’re the stupid loli!”

“No, I’m your older brother.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord put one hand on her hip with a proud expression on her face.

“No, right now you’re just a younger sister.” Under Eiru’s surprised gaze, Eiya directly pinched her cheeks and started pulling.

“Let go! Let go! I’m your older brother! You can’t treat me like this!” With her face being pinched, Eiru frantically batted Eiya’s arm away with her left hand. “Let me go!!!”

“Call me big sister! Otherwise, I’ll never let you go!”

“Dream on! Eiya, you’re just my little sister!”

——Sisters fighting——

“Sis, you can do this too…” While on their way to the police station, Eiya looked at her sister floating beside her with admiration.

That’s right, just like when Yuki went to get takeout before, Eiru once again turned invisible. She wasn’t a masochist. How could she possibly walk the whole way?

“Be careful, other people can’t see me… don’t let people think you’re crazy.” Reaching out to tap Eiya’s head, Eiru kindly reminded her.

“I know… but you guessed right. The police seemed to have notified Mom and Dad…” Speaking of this, Eiya became somewhat worried.

What if Mom and Dad thought that Eiru didn’t take good care of her and indirectly put her in danger? Then they’d make her go home, and she couldn’t stay with her sister.

No way… I haven’t absorbed enough Eiruium yet… I haven’t played with the cat enough yet either. And now that sis has become like this, I really think that she isn’t taking good enough care of herself. There’s no way I could leave her alone and not care about it!

“What are you thinking about? Is there something troubling you?” Eiru looked at her sister’s troubled expression, and asked her with concern.

“I’m afraid that Mom and Dad might make me leave early…” Eiya said somewhat pitifully…

“That would be great, go back early…” A certain loli yawned. She couldn’t wait for Eiya to head home.

Not only did they have to squeeze into one bed, but there was an extra mouth to feed. Once they spent the sister-raising fund that Mom and Dad sent them, she’d have to make food for an extra person, which was tiring, okay?

If it was possible, she still wanted to save some of the money from her parents and pocket it, since she was really quite poor… Her concern for Eiya wasn’t fake, but having one more person at home also put a lot of burden on her. Plastic siblings… This was probably what that meant…

Silently complaining in her heart, Eiru’s main reason was that she thought the East District was too chaotic. Eiya shouldn’t have come to this kind of place at all. She had no clue what Mom and Dad were thinking…

“Sis… do you hate me?” Eiya sounded really disappointed. “We had just gotten to know each other again…”

“Huh? It’s not that… mainly it’s just inconvenient for you to stay here, and it’s not always good to squeeze into a single bed with you. I don’t have enough bed space…”

Eiru had no clue why Eiya was so disappointed and started explaining on her own, completely missing Eiya’s eyes getting darker and darker.

“Anyway, this is for your own good too. The East District is too chaotic… I can’t protect you properly in my current state.” Eiru waved her right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, at her.

“If Mom and Dad want to take you back, then that’s naturally for the best… But if they let you stay, I won’t drive you away either, don’t worry… After all, you’re my sister.” Reaching out to pat Eiya’s head, Eiru noticed her sister’s expression looked particularly… awkward?

“You just hate me, right! You hate me because I’m troublesome!” Eiya suddenly shouted loudly, scaring a certain loli who grabbed her and dragged her into a nearby alley.

“My little sister, didn’t I tell you that other people can’t see me? Do you want to be misunderstood and dragged to a mental hospital?” Once they entered the alley, Her Majesty the Demon Lord released her invisibility and began lecturing Eiya.

“Wait, wait, wait, I didn’t scold you, don’t cry!” But seeing the expression on Eiya’s face, who looked like she was about to cry, the little demon lord immediately panicked. Having little to no social experience, this was the situation she was least capable of handling.
