Demon King – Chapter 235 – Airplane Chess in Progress

“I pick truth…” Before long, the unfortunate Yuki’s piece got eaten by our little Demon Lord, making him the first casualty of the game.

“Let me think…” Eiru rested her chin in her hand for a moment. “What does the girl you like look like? Just tell me three things…”

She was curious about who it was, of course, but you had to leave a little leeway. Asking straight out who it was would be too much…

As soon as the question came out, Eiya’s expression changed, her eyes full of alarm as she glanced back and forth between Yuki and Eiru.

“She’s petite, lively in personality and sometimes a bit willful…” Yuki answered without hesitation. Those three points were vague enough that he wasn’t worried a certain loli would figure it out.

But hearing his answer, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly thought of someone, someone who was right here… She turned toward her sister, catching sight of her staring at Yuki in panic.

He… he… he likes Little Ya? The Little Demon Lord was stunned. Her best brother actually wanted to hit on her real sister? What was she supposed to do with that?

Thinking back to what had happened before at Yuki’s house, and remembering how Eiya always kept her from getting close to him, Eiru became more and more convinced she was right.

When did they start? How far had they gotten? But wait, hadn’t Stupid Yuki said she didn’t know he liked her? Little Ya sure didn’t look like she was unaware…

The more she thought, the bigger her headache grew. In the end she set it aside—she’d play the game first, and then eat another of his pieces later to ask for details…

Of the four, only Jiaqi remained totally oblivious to the mood. Wasn’t this just normal gossip? So why did it feel so awkward?

“Ok, my turn!” Before long, unlucky Yuki once again had one of his pieces sent back to the hangar by Eiya.

“I’ll pick tru—” Yuki scratched his head, but before he could finish he was cut off…

“No, you have to pick dare!” Eiya’s princess temper flared again. “Or I’ll bite you!”

“Uh… fine, dare then.” After all, she was just a kid. Yuki gave in, already bracing himself for whatever demand she’d make.

“Go kiss my sister, on the cheek.”

Yuki’s face flushed red in an instant. That was way too much—wasn’t she the one forbidding her sister from dating or getting close to guys? Why did she suddenly do this?

“?” Her Majesty the Demon Lord slowly typed out a question mark. “You’ve got issues, Little Ya…”

What was wrong with her sister? How could she let some guy come kiss a macho man? Even if it was just the cheek, that was still totally inappropriate!

And besides, wasn’t Stupid Yuki supposed to like her? Letting him kiss another girl right in front of the one he liked. Wasn’t that way too strange?

You have to admit, this loli’s half-boy, half-girl mindset was absurd—one second she treated herself as a macho man, the next she treated herself as a girl.

That said, girls kissing each other on the cheek as a show of affection wasn’t unusual, but for boys to do it was weird… that seemed to be a pretty common consensus.

I dare to kiss my best friend, do you dare to kiss yours?.jpg ¹ Kiss the homies goodnight.jpg

Jiaqi turned his head away, covering his mouth, but his trembling shoulders gave him away—he was dying of laughter.

“I don’t see the problem, just hurry and kiss her!” Eiya, ever eager for chaos, was thrilled to see the two idiots squirm.

“But I…” Eiru started to say, only to find Yuki already crawling toward her.

“You’re actually coming?!” The Little Demon Lord yelped and darted behind her sister. “That’s too much, calm down, calm down!”

“…” Yuki was silent. He didn’t want to… no, he really did want to… But yeah, it was way too fast. Still, they were playing a game, so he couldn’t just back out like a sore loser, could he?

“Little Ya, say something, this really isn’t right!” Little Demon Lord tugged at her sister’s sleeve, pleading in terror.

“Hah, so you do know it isn’t right? Miss Giving Myself Away～” Eiya smirked at her sister’s frightened face.

“Forget it then…” Eiya sighed, and seeing hope, Eiru relaxed.

But with a smooch, just as her guard was down, Yuki leaned in and pecked her cheek…

“Ah, ah… ahhh…” Realizing what had just happened, Eiru’s eyes swirled into spirals as she collapsed into her sister’s lap.

Jiaqi couldn’t hold it in anymore. He rolled on the floor pounding it with his fists, laughing his head off. If Yuki ever found out he’d just kissed Lu Brat, he’d want to crawl into a hole and die. ² Idk about that…

After the interlude, the game continued. But unlike before, Eiru no longer acted all carefree. Clutching her sister’s arm, she stared at Yuki in terror and wariness, afraid he’d suddenly come over and kiss her again.

Sure enough fighting poison with poison was very effective… Seeing her sister finally show a bit of girlishness, Eiya smiled in satisfaction.

As expected, her sister was just like her, all bark and no bite. This kind of shock treatment would scare her straight eventually.

Nuzzling her head against the loli beside her, Eiya lightly tossed the die—and sent one of her sister’s pieces back to the hangar.

“I’m not kissing him! I refuse!” After seeing Yuki as an example, Eiru panicked and dove onto the bed. She curled up under the blanket, leaving the other three dumbfounded.

“Uh…” Jiaqi’s confusion.

“Emmmmm…” Yuki had complicated thoughts.

Maybe… the shock treatment was a little too strong? Seeing her sister’s reaction, even Eiya wondered if she’d gone too far.

“You can choose…”

“Truth! I pick truth!” At the chance to choose, a little head popped right out from under the blanket, making the choice without hesitation.

“Alright…” After a moment’s thought, Eiya posed her question. “If you had to choose a partner, what would your requirements be?”

At that, Eiya glanced meaningfully toward Yuki—noticing, he sat up straight, ears perked, practically ready to take notes.

“Good-looking! And rich!” Eiru shook her head, giving an embarrassingly shallow and shameful answer—another example of someone who didn’t want to work hard. ³ Slacker Demon King!!!!!

Wow, sis, do you have no ambition at all? Eiya was stunned. In that moment, she seriously questioned their parents’ educational methods—if they knew they’d raised such a disgrace of a child by being neglectful, what would they think?

“Of course, personality matters more… But above all, the most important thing is mutual understanding and being able to get along well. As long as that’s there, nothing else matters…” With a bright, cheerful smile, the little Demon Lord shared her conditions.

Translator Note

Why would you care about your parents? They’re pieces of shit who abandoned Eiru to the wolves as soon as they could… No money, no help, just a room to sleep in…
