Demon King – Chapter 198 – Truly a Full Day

The next morning, as soon as Her Majesty the Demon Lord woke up, she found herself assigned a whole pile of chores by her family…

Of course, the little Demon Lord was already used to it. Every time she came home, the family would definitely give her things to do—after all, as a man, she had to exercise more and share the burden of the household… ¹ Smh… Just show them your little loli true self… also I just realized, with Pickle shoving slacker demon king onto me, I’m now actively TLing 2 loli novels… oh no… am I worse than the lolicon cheese now?

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Eiru, disguised as a boy, absentmindedly gnawed on breakfast… her whole day had already been scheduled for her. There was no way she could slack off.

How miserable… as a little loli, every time she came home she had to do heavy chores. Weeding the fields, pinching off stray branches and leaves, carrying water for irrigation… there was always a mountain of work waiting for her.

If she could use her true form, this wouldn’t be anything. But since she had to hide her identity, and her disguise couldn’t use magic to strengthen her body… she really couldn’t handle it.

But she chose this path of secrecy herself, so she had to keep walking it, even while crying. After finishing breakfast, her mother brought over two medium-sized empty wooden buckets… under her gaze, Eiru could only take them and shuffle off to fetch water.

“So heavy…” Carrying the full buckets, she trudged step by step toward the fields quite far from home…

The buckets weren’t that big, and when filled with water they weren’t impossibly heavy… but Eiru’s strength was really pitiful! Carrying two at once, she could barely lift them, so she was just relying solely on her arm bones to hold them in place.

“Hurry up, didn’t you eat?” The men working in the fields grew impatient at her slow pace, shouting at her.

“Y-Yes…” Biting her lip, Eiru quickened her pace. The faster she walked, the heavier the strain on her hands became… her trembling arms seemed to protest against the overload.

Her family’s fields were quite large, spread across several places. After hauling water back and forth several times, she felt like her arms no longer belonged to her…

But that wasn’t all. Besides hauling water, she still had to use a hoe to pull up weeds. It looked easy, but was actually a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

You had to dig the weeds out by the roots, or it was useless. Too little strength, the roots stayed. Too much, and you ruined the soil and hurt the seedlings.

“This is too hard…” she grumbled, squatting in the field as she pulled weeds… she had done this every time she came home, so at least she was practiced.

Though her family treated her well, assigning her the smallest field, her frail body still couldn’t take it. But no matter how hard it was, she had to hold on. If she complained, they’d just think she was lazy.

“Ah Tu, stop rubbing on me… go play somewhere else.” Their watchdog, a big wolfdog, came over and affectionately nudged her as she squatted in the field.

Ah Tu was one of the few animals that had been close to her even before she became a loli, and he had a good relationship with her… but he was even bigger than her now.

And what surprised Eiru was that Ah Tu somehow recognized her after her transformation… several times when she was chased by the rural warlords, the geese, this wolfdog had come to the rescue.

Hearing her words, the wolfdog didn’t disturb her work anymore, but he didn’t leave either, he just laid down quietly beside the disguised loli.

“Good boy, I’ll give you ribs when we get back…” She rubbed his head, dumped the weeds she’d pulled into a basket, and moved on to the next patch…

After carrying the basketful of weeds back home, it was no longer her responsibility to decide what to do with them. Exhausted, she sat down at her doorstep. But just after barely resting a moment, the next round of chores came…

Hauling sacks of feed, catching chickens and gathering eggs at the third courtyard chicken coop, cleaning bird nests scattered across the eaves of the old house, herding the ducks to the family pond…

Ah, every day back home is so fulfilling… Eiru sighed in her heart, missing the days of slacking off in her apartment.

After helping move leftover sand and red bricks from the building to their designated places, Eiru finally finished her… morning chores—yeah right, you thought it was over? There was a whole pile waiting in the afternoon too.

On the verge of tears, too exhausted to eat lunch, she nibbled at it sporadically until finally a break arrived—everyone was on their lunch break…

On the villa’s rooftop, removing her disguise, the little Demon Lord looked at her hands that could barely move anymore after the day of overwork, pouting in grievance.

Plopping down on the ground with a smack, she thought, she had already rolled around in the dirt all morning, what did cleanliness matter anymore? With that, she lay flat on the floor.

“So tired… I have to run away tomorrow, or I’ll die here…” she moaned, exhaustion pulling her into drowsiness…

When afternoon came, disguised once again, she resumed her chores…

It was a pile of tasks that wasn’t much for normal people, but for her, they were almost overwhelming. By dinner, she could hardly walk.

Her hands and feet felt like they weren’t hers anymore. Listening to her grandpa and uncle praise her for her work today, the smile on her face was bitter and forced…

Why did I used to look so sturdy… and it doesn’t make sense, I was always skinny before, so why do I look so tough and hardworking…

Bearing pressure no loli should, she ate dinner, bathed, and collapsed on her bed back in her true form…

“Finally free, I must have pulled a muscle in my hand…” This had happened many times before, so she knew the pattern.

When overworked, at first you only feel tired, but the next day the real soreness comes, and she’d experience an unbearable full-body ache…

“I’m going to die… someone save me…” she whimpered, thinking there was no Demon Lord more pitiful than her—oh right, she was the only Demon Lord… never mind then.

“I want to go back and slack off… if only Stupid Yuki were here, he could massage my shoulders for me…”

At last, the loli remembered her old friend’s good points… he usually pampered her well, and when he heard her joints hurt on rainy days, he personally gave her a massage a few times.

She had to admit, his technique was really good, the pressure was just right… thinking of that, Her Majesty the Demon Lord moaned again. ² :capoostare2:

“Ugh… so tired, Stupid Yuki, I miss you…”
