Demon King – Chapter 214 – The Sister-Protecting Demon Lord Sold Her Sister

Luckily Yuki’s parents didn’t come home tonight. Otherwise, if they saw the pair of black-and-white sisters in the house, Yuki’s leg bones might not survive…

(Though actually, both of them were white-haired…)

The completely oblivious Demon Lord had already snuck off with Yuki’s handheld console into his room to have fun, leaving only Eiya in the living room, who seemed to have something to discuss with him.

“Um… the yogurt bites are finished, you know?” Yuki shook the empty wrapper in his hand, indicating that she shouldn’t expect to get more from him.

“Not that…” Eiya shook her head, looking a bit conflicted.

Borrowing someone else’s things without permission, her upbringing always taught her she should apologize and give thanks… but if she said it out loud, her hair color secret would be exposed. That was why she was so torn right now.

“If it’s that hard for you, then don’t say it for now…” Yuki patted her little head, then suddenly realized something.

“Wait… did you get shorter?” Compared to when he’d seen her at the milk tea shop before, Yuki felt like her height had definitely shrunk quite a bit.

“Why are you asking that too!” Eiya bristled, “Is it really that obvious?!”

“So it is obvious? Then you really did shrink?” Yuki’s expression turned complicated… At this age, shouldn’t girls be growing? What kind of problem would cause her to shrink?

“Enough! Don’t ask! I don’t want to talk about it!” Eiya clutched her head, flustered. Of course she knew about the weird problems with her body.

That was why she often wore shoes with heels or inserts, to hide her strange height issues. Yes, Eiya’s height mysteriously fluctuated between 140 and 150 centimeters.

She more or less knew the reason why, but just like with her hair, it was a secret she had to keep deep in her heart. If anyone in the know found out, it would definitely cause serious problems.

“Anyway! I used your stuff today without permission! I’m really sorry! But I can’t say what it was!” Eiya suddenly bowed deeply to Yuki, looking so serious that Yuki couldn’t help but laugh.

“I don’t know what you used, but since you’re this thoughtful about it, I’m sure it’s nothing bad…” Yuki ruffled her little head. “And I know your brother really well. You’re his sister, so I won’t be harsh with you.”

“But can I ask you a few questions?” Yuki suddenly sat down, gestured for her to sit, as if to discuss something important.

“Go ahead?” Though uneasy, Eiya still sat down on the sofa.

“Your hair is dyed, isn’t it?”

“??? How do you know that?” Eiya’s face instantly went pale. There was no reason for anyone to know this secret.

“Because I’ve dyed my hair before too, so I can see some signs…” Yuki scratched his head. Though that was only part of the truth.

When he was washing his clothes, he confirmed the black stain on them was definitely from hair dye. And on the pillow in his room where Eiya had laid her head, he also found the same stain.

“Tch, I miscalculated…” After hearing Yuki’s explanation, Eiya clicked her tongue in annoyance. The last time she had used hair dye was quite a while ago, which was why today she decided to wash her hair and redo it.

“I don’t know why you dye your hair, but I hope you can be confident, and don’t care too much about what others think… That’s something your brother taught me too.” Yuki still wore his gentle smile, thinking her reasons might be the same as his.

“Of course I’m not saying you can’t dye it, I wouldn’t interfere like that…” Worried she’d misunderstand, Yuki quickly added.

“I have my reasons, but it’s not convenient to say… I’m not afraid of people’s opinions, and it’s not because I want to look good either.” Eiya hugged her hair, speaking softly with her head lowered.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that… I want to ask, what’s the deal with little Lu in your family?” Seeing her mood drop, Yuki quickly shifted the topic to the main point.

“What do you mean… by that?” Eiya blinked, not fully understanding his question.

“You said she’s your real sister, but then she said she was raised as a boy. Didn’t you grow up together? And when I visited your house before, I don’t recall ever seeing her…”

“Oh, that. We did grow up together… and she always lived with my brother, and being raised as a boy is true too. Honestly, it’s complicated, so it’s hard to explain…” Since she promised her sister to keep it a secret, Eiya could only reveal so much.

“I see… then where’s your brother? Why would he let two little girls like you wander around on your own? If I hadn’t been there today, you’d have been sleeping on the streets, you know that?” Yuki’s face turned stern, still shaken after thinking back on what happened.

“Ah… that, hahaha…” Eiya scratched her head with an embarrassed laugh…

Would you believe me if I said my brother was here the whole time… She had thought since her sister was so strong, they could take care of each other, so going out should have been fine. She hadn’t expected her sister to dare to fall asleep with her too…

To be fair, the little Demon Lord wasn’t wrong either. The only reason she dared to sleep alongside her little sister was because Yuki was right there.

Eiru’s dependence and trust in Yuki was honestly ridiculous… As long as he was by her side, she felt that no matter how much trouble she caused, her beloved best friend would always clean up the mess for her.

“After you two fell asleep today, someone showed up claiming to be your sister’s friend, brought a few people and tried to take you away…” Yuki rubbed his forehead, saying something that made Eiya’s face change dramatically.

“If some people hadn’t stepped in to stop them, honestly, I might not have been able to protect you on my own… It was just too dangerous today, so I had to bring it up.” Yuki sighed. Since telling the loli herself would be pointless, he could only hope Eiya could handle it.

“You know your sister’s personality better than I do, maybe even more than anyone. So if you get the chance, please talk to her seriously.” As he spoke, Yuki reached out to tidy the hair on her forehead.

(Eiru: And you say you’re the one who understands me best?)

“Stupid Yuki! What are you doing to my sister!” A certain loli’s roar came from not far away.

The moment she came out, she saw her little sister sitting on the sofa with her head down, while Yuki’s hand was reaching toward her like he was teasing her… The Little Demon Lord stormed over, pulling Eiya protectively into her arms.

“So you’ve got your eyes on my sister, you lolicon!” The Demon Lord bared her teeth. “My sister’s only fourteen! At least wait until she grows up!”

So it’s fine once she grows up? Behind her, Eiya’s expression turned complicated — Sis, are you protecting me, or selling me?

“No no no, I don’t have any ideas about her…” Terrified that his beloved might misunderstand, Yuki frantically waved his hands. “I was just talking to her, that’s all…”

“If you want to go after my sister, you’ll have to get past me first!” Eiru didn’t even bother with his explanation, rolling up her sleeves with a face ready for a fight.

“If you’ve got urges, take them out on me, don’t you dare think of my sister! She’s still too young, she can’t be dating ye— ow, Eiya, why’d you hit me?” Halfway through her rant, the Little Demon Lord took a flick to the forehead.

“We. Are. Going. Back. To. The. Room.” Grabbing her by the collar, under Yuki’s dumbfounded stare, Eiya dragged her sister back into the guest room…
