Demon King – Chapter 197 – Yuki Reconnected Successfully (Extra)

“I got beaten by my mom… it hurts so much…” The little Demon Lord lay on the bed with headphones on, talking on the phone with Yuki, who had been offline for a long time.

Her butt hurt so badly that she couldn’t even turn over to lie on her back. Even though she had pants on at the time, that didn’t help much for the delicate little loli…

“You’re okay right? Do you need to put on some medicine? By the way, why are you using Lu’s phone at home?” Yuki asked with concern, then suddenly noticed something odd.

“Because he lent me his phone… ugh, it still hurts. So what did you call him for? Don’t tell me you just wanted to chat again?” While spouting nonsense, Her Majesty the Demon Lord rubbed her sore butt and let out painful groans.

“Uh… let’s not talk about that, you should put on some medicine.” Yuki didn’t know what else to say, quickly changing the subject and advising the loli to treat her bruises.

What was with this girl’s parents anyway, even if she was a bit mischievous, she wasn’t that bad, right? Even if they were raising her like a boy, with such a delicate body, how could her mom hit her so hard…

In his heart, Yuki’s impression of this loli’s parents grew worse and the misunderstanding deepened again… after all, he didn’t know that in her mother’s eyes, she was just a clueless big boy. Boys had sturdier bodies and could take a beating, so a spanking to make them learn was the most normal thing.

“It’s so boring here, there’s nothing to play with, nothing tasty to eat and my sister even went to grandma’s… the water and electricity is unstable, the internet doesn’t work… life is miserable.”

Listening to the girl complain, Yuki was speechless… did this girl live in some countryside village?

And this description felt oddly familiar, could it be that she went back to Lu’s hometown with him? But she said it was her own mom, so that couldn’t be…

“Where’s your home? If I have time I’ll come visit you. I’m free now anyway.”

“You can’t come, it’s way too far… even driving on the highway without traffic takes four or five hours.” The little Demon Lord stuffed a pillow under her stomach and hugged it while trying to kill Yuki’s idea.

If he really came, she’d be exposed on the spot. Not to mention, in this poor countryside there was nowhere for him to stay. He couldn’t possibly stay at her house, right?

Even if he did stay, since no one prepared, the other rooms were piled with junk and thus uninhabitable… if he actually came, she’d end up stuck sharing a room with him, with just the two of them. ¹ :chiiunderstand:

“So you went back to your hometown? I thought you just went home…” Yuki stroked Gulu’s head at his side. “That really is inconvenient.”

“By the way, what did you do to get beaten? You don’t seem like the type to cause trouble.”

“I went out with my childhood friend for a whole day without telling my family… eh heh~” Though she said it righteously, Eiru knew she was in the wrong this time.

In the countryside it really wasn’t so safe. Running out all day without telling your family could make them panic.

Not only her parents, apparently even her grandpa and uncle dropped farm work to go looking for her… finally after hearing from Jiaqi’s parents who told them the two had gone out together, the whole family relaxed.

Her family had emphasized again and again not to run around when back in the village, and if she had to go out, to tell them so they wouldn’t worry… breaking both rules, the loli naturally got a harsh beating as soon as she returned.

“Uh… I think you really should tell your family when you go out.” From this, Yuki thought her family actually cared a lot about her, not as bad as he thought.

“By the way, Stupid Yuki, you remember Hui Jiaqi right… he came back from abroad.”

“Of course, we played together all the time in elementary school. He really came back… wait? How do you know him?” Sensing something wrong, Yuki instinctively felt a sense of crisis, though he didn’t know why.

Ah, slipped up again… the little Demon Lord smacked her head in annoyance, quickly using her foolproof excuse—please, other me!

“Of course Lu told me! He went back home, right? He told me about it.” The Demon Lord’s righteous excuse.

“His phone is with you, how did he tell you? I’ve visited his home, there’s no reliable way to contact him…” Yuki wasn’t about to be fooled by such a lame excuse.

“You’re definitely trying to fool me, I get it now, so you…”

“No no no, it’s not what you think!” Her Majesty the Demon Lord panicked, this was bad, exposure now would be too much.

If Yuki knew the loli always clinging to him and acting cute was the same as his big rough friend, Eiru couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be grossed out, unable to eat, and their friendship might instantly end.

(Yuki: Yes, friendship will end… fast forward to love starting.) ² This author has the same thoughts as me 😀

“You must have gone back with Lu to his hometown!” The voice on the other end froze the loli in place. ³ Idiot Yuki

Sorry Yuki, I overestimated you, I thought you’d figure it out… She grumbled inside, but still felt glad he was this dense.

“Yeah, you’re right! I went back with him…” Since he already gave her a way out, the Demon Lord shamelessly went with it…

“Why’d you go back with him… I give up on you.” Yuki held his head, completely exhausted.

“But I had nowhere else to go… honestly I was dragged back. Wouldn’t it be better to slack off in Huanghai?”

Listening to her, Yuki formed a guess—that Lu and the loli’s parents must be good friends, otherwise they wouldn’t trust their kid with them.

From the spanking, it was clear Lu’s elders also disciplined her. The loli’s obedient attitude showed she accepted them as family too…

Now Yuki even suspected maybe the loli was adopted by Lu’s parents? If not that, at least a goddaughter or something…

So this girl was Lu’s little sister? Yuki now had a headache… he knew his rough friend wasn’t a sis-con, but he was absolutely a sister-protecting maniac.

When two close girlfriends talk, if one says she likes the other’s brother, the reply will be “oh great” or “what’s good about him”.

But if two close brothers talk, and one says he likes the other’s sister—then the next scene would be a real-life brawl…

Crap, with Lu being such a sister-protecting maniac… if I tell him I like little Lu, would he actually kill me on the spot?

Translator Note

Don’t worry Yuki, your Eiru and little Lu are the same people!
