Demon King – Chapter 162 – I’m Torn

After eating, their parents dropped off the two siblings (sisters?) at a certain girl’s residence and left to go back to work.

“It hurts so much! It really hurts…” As soon as their parents left, the little demon lord quickly dropped the act. She reverted to her true form and collapsed on the sofa, wailing.

“The wound definitely tore open. Eiya, quickly get the medicine box…” Seeing the bandages on her shoulder already stained red with blood, Eiya didn’t dare delay for a moment and hurriedly brought out the first-aid kit…

“Gently! Gently! There’s a lot of blood… the bandages must be stuck to the wound!” Eiya carefully helped her sister unwrap the bandages, but the pain was still unavoidable. If not for her leg being fractured, she probably would’ve jumped from the pain.

“It really hurts so much. Dad was too rough, wasn’t he?” Eiru said tearfully, complaining to her sister.

“Who told you to say that you were sore… You should have found a better excuse…” Eiya was also quite helpless. “And you were telling me to leave. Now you can’t live without me, can you?”

“When did I ever tell you to leave…” The little demon lord felt baffled… And even without you here, I could handle my own problems myself, okay?

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore…” Eiya carefully unwrapped the bandages with gentle hands and asked a serious question:

“How long do you plan to hide this from Mom and Dad? You can’t possibly keep it a secret forever, right?”

“Don’t say that… I really do want to hide it for the rest of my life… Letting you know was purely a moment of generosity, plus an accident.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord said heartlessly, making Eiya angrily pinch her waist hard.

“Ow! What are you doing!”

“Punishment for hiding it from me!” Eiya didn’t feel good about it.

Her sister was such an amazing adorable loli who had been by her side for two years, and she hadn’t noticed at all… The more Eiya thought about it, the angrier she got, and she pinched Eiru’s waist hard two more times.

“Ow! Stop messing around!” The little demon lord was scared and dodged twice to the side, since she was ticklish, so she really couldn’t handle this kind of torment.

“Hmph!” Eiya lowered her head and stopped paying attention to Eiru, and instead focused on unwrapping her bandages.

“How did I offend you now…” Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt very wronged… Girls’ thoughts really are so hard to guess.

After bustling around for a while, they finally managed to reapply the bandages again. Eiru slowly stood up and limped toward the room.

“Help me out. I need to wash the blankets and sheets. Help me take them off…” Asking her sister who was following behind for help, the little demon lord began tidying up her bed and moving everything aside first.

“Meow?” Gulu, who seemed to have just woken up, looked at the two sisters bustling about and tilted his head… Without causing trouble for the two, the big cat obediently ran to the living room to find water.

“Why do you suddenly have to wash your sheets and blankets?” While helping Eiru remove her bedding, Eiya asked somewhat strangely.

“I didn’t shower yesterday! And you carried me into bed! I definitely need to wash it!” Speaking of this made the little demon lord somewhat angry. Originally, she had planned to sleep on the sofa, but in the end, her workload increased anyways.

“Were you always this much of a clean freak?”

“I had blood on me, Eiya! Medicine and blood, plus dirt from fighting outside… Yesterday, to find you, I basically beat up the entire East District!”

“Um… speaking of that, sis, you aren’t usually that strong. Why are you so good at fighting?” Her sister’s heroic appearance had left a deep impression on her. It was completely different from the usual frail girl that she seemed to be.

“Mana reinforcement. As long as I have mana, I can enhance my physical abilities…” There really wasn’t a point in hiding it, so Eiru answered truthfully. “Theoretically, there’s no upper limit. As long as I’m willing and have enough mana, I could probably even punch through a building.”

“Oh, so you’re charging your mana through the outfit?” Eiya suddenly remembered her sister’s tail-charging behavior this morning. “So you’re electric-powered?”

“Give me a break. If I tried to do that, just seeing the electricity bill would make me collapse…” The little demon lord rolled her eyes at her. “I was just using the outlet to recharge because I was in a hurry. Normally I’m solar-powered…”

“Solar-powered?” Eiya was confused. What kind of tech was this?

“Yeah, whenever I skip class, I go to the rooftop to sunbathe… I can convert solar energy into mana… You think I’m skipping class willingly? Oh wait, I guess I really am doing it willingly…”

“Mandrake?” Eiya tilted her head and threw out a new term.

“My dear sister, that joke wasn’t funny at all…” Eiru said that she didn’t laugh at all. Why did it feel like she just got insulted?

“Ah, sorry…” Eiya also felt that her comment was inappropriate and awkwardly scratched her cheek.

The little demon lord sighed. She was too lazy to keep arguing with her sister… Compared to this, she was more troubled by her bathing problem.

With the wound basically screaming “I tore open”, it obviously couldn’t get wet. Today, she definitely couldn’t take a shower… Her Majesty the Demon Lord genuinely felt uncomfortable at the thought of not being able to bathe for two days straight.

If she just stayed at home for the two days without bathing, that would still be acceptable… But she not only went out, but got into a fight, and got injured. Getting all dirty like this without being able to shower was really just too uncomfortable.

“What a headache…” Her Majesty the Demon Lord covered her head with one hand. She had been wearing this outfit for two days now. She felt like she was being unfair to this beautiful outfit Yuki had bought for her.

“Let me handle it… Just washing the sheets and blankets is fine, right?” Taking the things from Eiru’s hands, Eiya said that although she couldn’t really do much, she could still help around the house somewhat.

“Sis, you got up pretty early this morning, and you look pretty tired… Go sleep on the sofa for a while. I’ll wake you up in the afternoon.”

“Sorry for the trouble… But don’t sneak out again, okay? If you’re bored, just stay in the room and play on my PC, understood?” Given the opportunity to slack off, the little demon lord naturally would take it, but before going out, she still reminded Eiya.

“If something happens again, we’ll both be done for together… Don’t cause me any more trouble.” A certain girl was imagining some tragic ending, covering her face like she couldn’t bear to watch.

“Don’t worry. After all that happened, you think there’s any way that I’ll sneak out again? Besides, you still need me to take care of you!” Eiya waved her hand, telling Eiru not to worry…. and the latter, after getting assurance, walked out of the room.

“Stupid sister, with your meager abilities… don’t I still have to take care of you…” Muttering as she went, Her Majesty the Demon Lord lowered the sofa back and laid down…

Whatever, whatever, I feel too tired right now to worry about her. As long as she doesn’t cause more trouble… Compared to that silly girl, I’m really about to die of exhaustion. It’s really tiring, not having any mana…

Let me nap, but just for a bit. I just need to keep an eye on that girl’s movements… Yawning, the little demon lord slowly closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of peace…
