Demon King – Chapter 210 – Family Ethics Drama

Yuki joined the sisters on their mall shopping trip, the three walking side by side… Eiya stood between Yuki and Eiru, keeping them apart.

Holding her sister’s hand, the little Demon Lord looked a bit down—normally with Yuki around, she wouldn’t have to walk, she could just let him carry her; her life would be so easy…

“What’s wrong, Little Lu? Do you want me to carry you?” Yuki noticed the loli’s dejected expression and leaned in to ask.

He knew her well enough—as clingy and lazy as she was, it was probably because her sister was present that she didn’t dare act spoiled, right?

“Yes…”  The Demon Lord happily began to answer, but then met Eiya’s emotionless blue eyes…

“Forget it, no need…” Eiru immediately chickened out, turning her head away, not daring to meet her sister’s gaze…

The little Demon Lord puffed her cheeks in frustration, suffering silently. Yuki was one of the few people she could act spoiled with, and now she couldn’t… what was this nonsense…

——The mall trip full of pressure——

“What the hell…” Yuki stared at the two lolis, one black-haired, one silver-haired, both fast asleep leaning on each other, and began questioning his life choices…

Seriously, forget about Brat Lu, what was up with these girls’ parents? Who had the guts to let two lolis who could fall asleep in a mall just wander around on their own?

The two were hugging a game console box, sound asleep in the mall’s rest area—they both had a habit of afternoon naps, and since they hadn’t slept all day, by dinner time they couldn’t hold on any longer and dozed off together.

In sixteen years, Yuki had never seen anything like this… after thinking it over, he decided to call his best friend, telling him to hurry over and pick up his two sisters.

But when the silver-haired loli’s phone rang in her pocket, Yuki knew it was hopeless—that bastard had given his phone to his sister again…

“I give up, Lu Brat, you’re really something…” Yuki held his head in frustration, trying to figure out how to get these two lolis home…

First priority: get them out of here. With the mall’s cold air conditioning, if they caught a chill it’d be bad… With that thought, Yuki picked up both lolis at once…

He was glad he usually trained his body. Otherwise, carrying two lolis plus their stuff, including a game console, would’ve been impossible…

Their little heads rested on his shoulders as he endured the complicated stares of passersby, struggling to make it to the mall entrance where he flagged down a taxi…

The most absurd part of the trip was when some random guy showed up, claiming to be Little Lu’s friend. He offered to help carry one of the girls, but Yuki flatly refused…

Nonsense. Sure it was tiring, sure it was troublesome… but these were his future wife and sister-in-law, how could he hand them to some stranger?

Then the so-called friend—Agui—suddenly changed his face, bringing along two or three others, and under the banner of “I suspect you’re kidnapping lolis,” tried to snatch them from his arms…

At the critical moment, two or three young men appeared out of nowhere, blocking them. They signaled Yuki to hurry and get away, and whatever they said to Agui and his friends, it worked—they quickly backed down…

Leaving the mall, Yuki wondered where to take the girls—he wasn’t sure if anyone was at their home, and he didn’t have the key to Lu Brat’s apartment either…

After a moment’s thought, he decided to take them back to his own place. Once they woke up, he’d contact Lu Brat to pick them up.

——Car engine humming——

Yuki’s home was usually empty, but with help from the building’s security guard, he managed to get the sisters and their things settled in…

He carried Eiru into his room first, laying her on his bed… then returned to the living room to bring the other loli in.

Passing the full-length mirror in the living room, Yuki suddenly paused… there was a large black stain on his shoulder.

Had something dirtied his clothes? Frowning, he didn’t think much of it and continued carrying the girl into the room…

He gently laid Eiya beside her sister, covering them both with a blanket, taking a moment to admire their sleeping faces…

Looking closely, aside from the different hair color, they actually looked quite alike, very much like sisters… and if he remembered right, they both had blue eyes…

Yuki’s face suddenly changed as a strange thought hit him—could they really be blood sisters? If so, was Eiya also a demon? Then what did that make Lu Brat? Adopted?

He had been to Lu Brat’s home many times before, and he had never seen Little Lu there. She shouldn’t have been a family member… so why did she look so much like Eiya?

Yuki remembered once joking with his best friend—saying he didn’t look like his sister at all… if Lu Brat really was adopted, then hadn’t he stepped right on a landmine?

Yuki suddenly felt like he had been dragged into some kind of family ethics drama, completely unable to understand Eiru’s family makeup…

“No no, let me sort this out again…” He shook his head and tried to organize his thoughts…

Eiya called Little Lu her sister, and at the mall even said she was her real sister… at the time he thought it was just a child’s tantrum.

But from Eiya’s attitude and concern toward Little Lu, plus their similar looks, them being real sisters was very likely…

Lu Brat had also said Eiya was his real sister, though he also complained about not getting along with her and even joked that they didn’t look alike at all…

Everyone seemed to be telling the truth, so clearly someone didn’t know the full picture… Thinking about it, Yuki’s head began to ache. He felt like he had grasped something, but also nothing…

After piecing it together, Yuki had a conclusion that would make the little Demon Lord spit blood in rage—Eiya and Little Lu were real sisters, but Eiru might not be related by blood, and didn’t know the truth himself.

(Little Demon Lord: How do you take a bunch of correct pieces and fit them into something so ridiculously wrong?)

Maybe Eiru’s family really was a family of demons, hiding it from him… maybe that’s why his family never treated him well, because he was of a different race.

But then what about Little Lu? From what she’d said, her family didn’t treat her well either… yet today Eiya clearly cared for her deeply…

Yuki clutched his head, feeling like it was about to explode… This circle was too messy. What the hell was going on!

Tsk tsk tsk Yuki, you’re so close, yet so far.
