Demon King – Chapter 225 – Once Again Seeking Advice From The ‘Love Master’

“Hoo~” With her little head resting against her best friend’s shoulder, the Little Demon Lord looked completely relaxed while soaking in the pool.

Yuki only smiled. Even though the girl looked like she was enjoying herself, the hands clinging tightly to his arm betrayed the tension hidden in her heart.

“How does it feel?”

“Don’t tease me. Even if I’ve never done this before, I know things like this can’t work instantly, right?” She shot her best friend a glare. The comfortable warmth made Eiru melt softly against Yuki’s body.

“I meant how you feel… but seeing you like this, you seem to be enjoying it.”

“Because this is a still pool. With you here I’m not as scared… it’s just like taking a bath, isn’t it?” Her Majesty the Demon Lord explained her issue, then stood up and directly sat down on the ‘Demon Lord’s throne’…

Although the pool wasn’t deep, because of her height it created a strange sight: Yuki was sitting at the edge with water reaching his chest, while the silver-haired loli in his arms leaned softly against his chest, with only her little head left above the surface.

“You’re afraid of water yet you still dare to bathe? Oh right… you said before bathing wasn’t a problem.”

“Of course not, I wouldn’t dare to by myself… I only soaked once with Little Ya. Without you here I definitely wouldn’t dare to come…” As she spoke, the Little Demon Lord leaned back, her arms hooking around the boy’s neck.

“By the way, what are we eating tonight?” The ambiguous posture made Yuki blush, but Eiru didn’t care at all, only asking on her own.

“All you think about is eating… you little glutton.” Yuki smiled, slipping his hands under her arms to adjust her position slightly — otherwise if she slipped, she would plunge face-first into the spring.

“There’s plenty of choices here. Whatever you want to eat, you can. My treat.” Yuki pointed toward the many food stalls nearby and the restaurants further away. “Or if you like, we can go inside the hotel for something nicer.”

“Mm~” She replied, basking in the warmth of the spring, though who knew how much she had heard.

“It’s a shame your brother didn’t come. His bones really are… sigh…”

“My brother? Who? You know my brother?” The Demon Lord tilted her head in confusion. As far as she remembered, her best friend shouldn’t have known Cousin Miao, let alone her other cousins.

“Lu Brat, you silly loli… I already know you two are real siblings, and you’re still trying to hide it from me.” Yuki, half amused and half annoyed, flicked her nose. “Little Eiya already told me…”

“He’s not my brother…” She shook her head. The spring’s comfort was melting away the last of her brainpower.

“Then who is he?” Yuki only laughed, taking it as teasing and a joke.

“He’s your good brother~”

“Yes yes, my good brother…” Yuki squeezed the two buns of hair on her head, face full of helplessness.

“Rua! ¹ Ruarua Stupid Yuki Stupid Yuki! I want to eat hot spring eggs! That one!” The Little Demon Lord suddenly spotted the stall selling them not far away, and instantly started drooling.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go buy some for you…” Following her finger, Yuki also saw the stall — one of the hot spring inn’s signature products, with a fair number of customers gathered in front.

Just as he was about to stand up, Yuki felt himself forced back down by a powerful grip. Looking in confusion at the girl, he met a pair of terrified eyes.

“Don’t… don’t go…” Hearing that he was about to leave, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was instantly shocked awake — no matter how comfortable the hot spring was, it was still a pool of water…

“Don’t go, I won’t eat anymore… don’t leave me.” Eiru clung desperately to her only source of comfort and companionship. “I’m scared… I really am scared…”

“I won’t go, it’s okay…” Hugging the girl, Yuki gently patted her back to soothe her. “As long as you don’t hate me, I’ll never leave you…”

“Mm…” Curling up entirely in his embrace, they stayed like that for a long time before the little Demon Lord finally calmed down.

“Little Lu, I’ve been troubled about something…” After soaking a bit longer, perhaps just to pass the time, Yuki brought up a topic with the loli in his arms.

“What is it?” Eiru, who had been fiddling with his hand and playing with his fingers, tilted her head in confusion.

“It’s about feelings…”

“No problem, tell me… We’re good brothers. If you have a problem, I’ll definitely help you solve it.” Patting her barren chest proudly, Her Majesty the Demon Lord expressed confidence in her ability to handle such matters — after all, she had once talked someone down from a rooftop.

“You know I like a certain girl, right?”

“Mm, I just don’t know who. You’ve never told me…” This was one of the things the Little Demon Lord was most curious about. After all, she had almost never seen him closely interacting with any other girls.

If not for respecting his privacy, she would have already dug it out or investigated it herself. In middle or high school, if someone said they liked someone, then their friends would definitely troll and spread rumors.

“What’s wrong, does she treat you coldly? Do you think you have no chance?” As soon as she asked, Eiru was even more puzzled. That didn’t sound right… with Yuki’s looks, personality, and family background, no girl should be able to refuse him, right?

He was handsome, had a nice personality, and came from an incredibly wealthy family. And Yuki had always been caring. How many people have dreamed of this ideal boyfriend? Who is so blind… ² Me! I have glaucoma in my left eye! And like -13.00 glasses prescription!

“That’s not it. It’s just that she seems to only think of me as a friend, with no feelings beyond that… so it feels like things went off track.” Yuki smiled bitterly, giving his explanation.

“Confess! Are you stupid?” If there had been a table nearby, the Little Demon Lord would have slapped it for emphasis. “At least drop hints to show her you like her! That way she can at least sense your feelings.” ³ You dumb demon lord

What? I haven’t hinted enough already?! Yuki roared inwardly, but his face still kept its calm expression as he continued explaining…

“She’s kind of dense so she won’t pick up on it… And if I confess outright and she rejects me, then even being friends would be impossible…”

“That’s indeed a problem… Usually it’s better to give hints first. That way, even if you don’t say it outright, it helps the relationship move toward romance.” Resting her chin in thought, the Little Demon Lord also found the matter tricky.

If it were her… tsk, saying it was easy, but she had never liked anyone, so she didn’t really understand those feelings. Without that experience, she had no idea what she herself would do.

After thinking it over, Eiru decided that since this was about someone’s lifelong happiness, she had better be cautious and not give careless advice.

Translator Note

This little dumb demon lord. If this were a fantasy novel, she would’ve probably been tricked into the hero’s bed lonnnnnnggggggggg ago, and turned the genre into hero x demon lord romance.
