Demon King – Chapter 206 – Eiya Watching Horror Movies Is Like a Cat

“Little Eiya are you done yet…” Sitting in the living room flipping through TV channels, the little Demon Lord was clearly showing signs of impatience.

“Almost done…” Eiya sat in front of the mirror, answering while combing her hair…

“You’re really so slow! You’re the one who said we were going out to play…” Her Majesty the Demon Lord shut off the TV and ran to the doorway of Eiya’s room—she wanted to see what on earth her sister was doing to take so long.

“Okay I’m finished!” Just as she tied up her hair, Eiya stood up, grabbed her bag, and ran toward the door, bumping straight into her sister.

Stare… Eiru looked unhappily at her sister. Two pairs of blue eyes stared straight into each other, making the atmosphere turn tense.

“Alright, let’s go～” Eiya tapped her head shyly, sticking her tongue out to act cute. ¹ Tehepero~

“Unbelievable… do all girls take this long to get ready to go out?” Eiru sighed, her face full of helplessness as she turned and walked toward the front door.

“But sis, you’re also a girl now.”

“No, I’m a real man. Do you ever see me dragging my feet like this?” The little Demon Lord shot back immediately… even if her body was female, she’d always be a true man.

“Okay, manly sis… but did you forget the shoes you hid in your room?” Seeing her sister heading to the door, Eiya reminded her.

Because she feared being found out, all of Eiru’s real clothes and shoes were hidden in her room. So even if she went to the shoe cabinet by the door, she wouldn’t find her own shoes.

“Ah, I forgot…” Under her sister’s gaze full of loving care, the little Demon Lord ran back to her room and came out clattering with a pair of round-toed leather shoes.

“So where are we going today?” Squatting to put on her shoes, Eiru turned her head to ask Eiya. Last night this girl said they’d go out today, but she never said where.

“Let me warn you first, if you dare mention the word ‘shopping’, I’m going back to my room to sleep.”

The memories of going shopping with her father and the two women in their family, only to end up as their bag-carrying mule was still vivid. The word ‘shopping’ was practically traumatic for Eiru.

“Don’t worry, no shopping… even if we did, I wouldn’t make you carry any bags.” Eiya patted her sister’s head, reassuring her.

“Easier said than done, when you can’t carry stuff it always ends up with me…” The little Demon Lord opened the door. “So where are we going exactly?”

“Milk tea, movies, and food!”

That’s it? In Eiru’s head those were the only words. As a shut-in, you drag me outside just for this?

“Okay, actually there’s more… I heard that a new console just came out. Want to go try it out?” Seeing her sister’s sulky face, Eiya quickly added.

“You? You’re interested in stuff like that?” Eiru was surprised. Her sister might play games, but only casually…

And as for determining hardware, specs, or whether PC or console was better; Eiru knew her sister had no clue—she was exactly the type who thought a higher price tag meant better performance, a prime target for greedy shopkeepers.

If others walked in with 3000 yuan and got tricked into spending 18000 yuan instead, Eiya would walk in with 18000 yuan and leave after spending it all on a machine worth 3000 yuan instead. She was a rich fool, the kind merchants loved.

“Because you like it. I don’t understand technology anyways… and if you’re there, I won’t get ripped off.” As they walked down the road, Eiya spread her hands, clearly saying it was all for her sister’s sake.

“You’re getting a new computer? Or a console?”

“Just looking… we don’t have to buy.”

“That’s true…”

—Sisters on the move—

“So… the movie you were planning on watching with me is a horror movie?” Looking at the ticket in her hand, the little Demon Lord’s face twisted. To tell the truth, she was actually terrified of them.

“Yeah, I am, so what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re scared… didn’t you used to watch horror movies all the time?”

Bullshit, those so-called horror movies she’d watched before were half comedy… and she’d been so young she didn’t even understand half of it, so of course she hadn’t been scared.

“Weren’t you the one scared of these movies…” Thinking about it, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was puzzled. Since when had her sister grown this bold?

Wasn’t this the same girl who got scared after watching a movie about a rat plague, to the point where she couldn’t even go near a trash can for a whole month? And now she watches stuff like this?

“That was before. While you were living away, I trained myself, I won’t embarrass myself again…” Eiya waved it off.

“Let’s hope so…” Since her sister wanted to watch, Her Majesty could only risk her life to keep her company. Hopefully the movie wasn’t too scary.

At the entrance they bought a tub of potato chips, each carrying a cup of soda as they walked into the theater…

—Twenty minutes later—

“Eiya… could you be a little more gentle? You’re hurting my arm…” Looking at her arm covered in scratches looking like a cat had mauled it, Eiru’s mouth twitched…

Every time a scary scene came on, the theater filled with screams and gasps from the audience…

Eiru and Eiya were no exception, but the difference was that while Eiya was frightened, Eiru kept getting hurt by her sister scratching her arm.

This girl had gripped her arm the entire time, and whenever she got frightened, she’d dig her nails straight into her flesh. Who could stand that?

“Please, stop scratching… I think you’re scarier than the ghost on the screen right now…” The little Demon Lord almost cried as she begged her sister… Sis, what happened to not being scared?

Focused entirely on the screen, Eiya didn’t even hear her. Her Majesty realized with horror that her sister had even latched her other hand onto her arm too.

When the movie ended, looking at the scratch marks and nail gouges on her arm, Eiru turned with a blank expression toward Eiya.

Eiya scratched her cheek, embarrassed… Even if it was because she was scared, so she could say it was unavoidable, she knew she was in the wrong and didn’t dare say much.

“Next time I’ll bring a pillow for you to scratch” Still expressionless, the little Demon Lord muttered. “I think you’re a cat, so I’m curious if those claws of yours could shred a pillow…”

“I was wrong… I’m sorry, sister…” Eiya pressed her hands together in apology. “Don’t be mad at me, okay? Next time I’ll be gentler…”

“I never get mad at you～” Hearing her sister’s last words, Eiru suddenly beamed.

“Because I’m the brother, how could I ever get mad at my sister～”

“Mhm, mhm, so you’re not mad right?”

“Right. Which is why I’m gonna beat you up!” With that, Her Majesty the Demon Lord lunged at her sister…
