Demon King – Chapter 202 – Eiya’s Still Protecting Her Sister

At the bus station, a black-haired loli, a silver-haired loli, and a black-haired boy were sitting on the seats outside the small convenience store while waiting for the bus.

The three of them looked like siblings, though their relationship seemed neither too good nor too bad… The black-haired loli glared viciously at the black-haired boy, baring her teeth at him while he could only smile helplessly.

Meanwhile, the silver-haired loli beside her was happily munching on food, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere around her.

This Little Eiya is too protective of her sister, isn’t she? Even though treating Brat Lu like this is a good thing, it makes communication a little hard… Helplessly, Jiaqi wondered how he could get along with the black-haired loli in front of him and restore normal interactions with them.

“Aren’t you two going to eat? I can’t finish all this alone…” With bread in her mouth, the little Demon Lord tilted her head and looked at the two sitting beside her.

“I already had breakfast… More importantly, let me see your hand, is it better now?” Spotting an opening, Jiaqi shifted his attention back to his childhood friend.

“Thanks to the treatment you helped give me, it’s a lot better now… Although it’s still sore, it’s not a big problem anymore.” Just as she was about to hand her arm to Jiaqi, who sat on her left, Eiya, sitting on her right, decisively intercepted her sister’s hand.

“No, let me see!” Eiya grabbed Eiru’s hand and inspected it, occasionally raising her head warily to glare at Jiaqi sitting on her sister’s other side.

“I don’t really like you, but thank you for taking care of my stupid sister these past few days…” Stroking her sister’s still slightly swollen arm, Eiya’s tone carried concern with a hint of a tsundere attitude.

“But that doesn’t mean you can steal my sister away! If you want to, you’ll have to get past me first!” She once again bared her teeth and pulled her sister into her arms, acting every bit the protective little sister.

“Why do you think he’s going to steal me away… Our relationship is perfectly normal, okay?” Her Majesty the Demon Lord, held in her sister’s arms, muttered as she bit into her bread. She still didn’t understand why her sister was so against her childhood friend.

“Shut up! No talking! You clueless stupid loli!” Eiya knocked on her sister’s head, then fixed her sharp gaze on Jiaqi, who could only return an awkward auntie-like smile.

“Even if my sister is stupid and cute, as long as I’m here, don’t think you can trick her away!”

“Yes yes yes, I won’t trick her…” Jiaqi sighed, exhausted from the misunderstanding.

The truth was, his childhood friend’s personality and appearance right now were exactly his type, the perfect image of his ideal partner… ¹ Scorching Calamity: Life-Burning Severance this guy So to say he had no feelings for Eiru was impossible.

But their relationship made it difficult. They were too close, and the contrast was hard to accept… Not to mention, he knew there was once a boy’s soul living inside her.

This wasn’t like some childhood friend who turned out to be a girl all along. If Eiru had always been a girl, he might really have tried to pursue her… But the fact remained, she had once been a real boy, only later turning into a girl. Psychologically, it left a barrier he couldn’t easily cross. ² Coward

As a straight guy, unlike Yuki who had spent enough time with the loli form of Eiru, Jiaqi still couldn’t bring himself to see her that way… At least not until he got over that hurdle in his heart.

Still, he didn’t want to see this girl being naive and taken advantage of by others. As her childhood friend and brother-in-arms, he would do his best to look after her and correct some of her careless habits.

At the very least, with such a protective younger sister, she shouldn’t be easily tricked, right? Thinking this, Jiaqi felt relieved and even grateful that his childhood friend had such a caring sister.

“Don’t touch my head!” When Jiaqi smiled and ruffled Eiya’s hair, she instantly exploded in outrage.

“And don’t touch my sister’s either!” The next moment, Eiya protectively covered her silver-haired sister’s head, glaring like he was some shady guy with ulterior motives.

But truth be told, Eiru’s hair wasn’t just smooth and silky… Even though it often looked slightly fluffy, it was never messy.

Especially when tied up into ponytails, whether a regular ponytail, a side ponytail, or twin tails, it always had that fluffy squirrel-tail look. ³ My hair’s the same way ngl

So no matter if it was Yuki, Jiaqi, or even Eiya herself, anyone who noticed her hair always wanted to run their hands through it for comfort.

“Guhhh, my hair’s all messed up, stop rubbing it…” As her sister absentmindedly petted her hair, the little Demon Lord protested in discontent… though it had no effect at all.

After waiting a bit longer, the scheduled bus arrived. The three quickly gathered their things and boarded the long-distance bus heading for Huanghai.

“Dizzy… I feel sick…” Sitting between the two, the Demon Lord was once again suffering from her usual motion sickness.

Unable to endure it, Eiru tilted her head onto her childhood friend’s shoulder… only for Eiya to notice immediately and quickly yank her sister over to her side.

Big sis, I’m so tired… Why do you always just offer yourself up like this? Eiya grumbled in her heart, shooting another vicious glare at Jiaqi.

Sitting on the outermost seat, Jiaqi felt wronged but couldn’t say anything. He just pulled out his handheld console and started playing. By now, he had gotten used to the constant hostility from his friend’s overprotective little sister.

After some time, when Jiaqi glanced back at the sisters… the two little lolis had their heads resting together, already fast asleep.

The nearly identical sisters, holding hands and using the armrest between them for support, leaned against each other and slept sweetly.

Every passenger who noticed couldn’t help but feel healed by the sight of the black-and-white loli sisters’ blissful faces… Quiet, well-behaved lolis really were like little angels—that was the collective thought of the passengers.

(Though in truth, the silver-haired one was actually a little demon…)

After several hours on the road, the three finally arrived at Huanghai City. But as they got off the bus, two men also stepped down right after them. The men trailed behind, following the sisters all the way to their apartment building.

“The little devil and her sister have returned home safely; there were no problems along the way…” Watching the three enter the elevator, one of the men reported on his phone.

“Good, thank you for your work. Your task is complete. That child doesn’t usually go out much, so the daily watch can be handed over to the next group.”

After receiving the reply on the phone, the two men followed their orders and left the residential area.
