Demon King – Chapter 239 – Sleep Paralysis?

“How do you know Big Senior?” On the way back to the room, the little Demon Lord tugged at her sister’s sleeve, asking curiously.

“I’ve been to that milk tea shop where you work…” Eiya only answered halfway before immediately changing the topic.

“What do you plan to do in the future? Are you really planning to hide this from Mom and Dad your whole life?”

“Well, I never liked going home anyway, so it makes no difference… once I get into college, I’ll do some part-time work and just not return any more.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord answered without hesitation. Just like Yuki and Jiaqi had said, she really didn’t like her family—except for their grandma, and her sister and brother.

“…” Eiya fell silent. She understood her parents’ thinking, but that didn’t mean she supported or agreed with it.

She had argued fiercely with her parents over Eiru’s situation, but in the end nothing came of it… all she could do was change from openly opposing her parents to secretly supporting Eiru.

Eiyuan and Liu Wan had good intentions. They thought Eiru had gone astray, so, as a boy, letting Eiru suffer a little outside and experience the hardship of life would help bring him back on track…

Though they had secretly arranged help, truthfully, Eiya felt that pushing a child out like this was no different from shirking responsibility—maybe they thought it was for their child’s own good, and convinced themselves of it… but it really was irresponsible. ¹ Yes, Eiya is the only person in that freaking family with any common sense.

And adding to that, she herself had treated her sister poorly before… and though it had been from a misunderstanding, Eiya still felt she had no right to persuade her sister to go home—besides, she also felt that even if she did, it might not be good for her sister.

“But sorry, I was chatting with her too long and kept you up so late…” Eiru pressed her hands together apologetically to her sister.

She had gotten too engrossed in talking with her old teammate, and by the time they came out, it was already past midnight… leaving her sister bored and waiting for so long, the little Demon Lord felt guilty.

“I’m fine,I’m just a bit sleepy… just be my pillow tonight.” Eiya yawned, showing she didn’t mind. After all, it wasn’t her first time staying up late with her sister, so she was used to it…

“But so you actually had the ability to hack cameras, I thought you really didn’t care about being filmed naked…” After all, the camera thing earlier was pretty scary, especially for a girl.

“Well, I don’t want to be dragged in for questioning… worst case scenario, without these backup measures, I might have already been caught and dissected.” The Demon Lord shrugged, speaking casually, but truthfully she was terrified.

“By the way, I left my room card in the power slot, so I didn’t take it. Did Yuki return yours to you?” Reaching their room, a yawning, exhausted Eiya asked about their keycard.

She had reminded her sister during the airplane chess game. If her sister forgot, the two of them would have to spend the night dressed like this in the dark hallway.

“He did, I wouldn’t dare forget something you told me.” Eiru took out the card and opened the door…

“Ahh…” Synchronously yawning, the sleepy sisters didn’t even bother with the lights. After shutting the door, they went straight to the bed.

Shedding their bathrobes, the two naked sisters hugged each other… the only thing they wore were black-and-white knee-high socks. The silver-haired lolis curled up together on the bed, eyes closing as they quickly drifted into dreamland…

The perspective shifted to Yuki, who got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. After washing his hands and drying them, he slowly returned to bed…

Lying down, pulling the blanket over, Yuki turned to his side, reached forward to grab the soft pillow beside him, and hugged it…

After sleeping for a while, Yuki rolled onto his back again, and then something terrifying happened—he suddenly felt like he couldn’t move.

Sleep paralysis? In his half-awake daze, that was Yuki’s first thought—but then he heard… a string of muffled noises coming from on top of him.

The hell? For real?! Yuki snapped fully awake, opened his eyes, and saw a scene he’d never forget—it wasn’t sleep paralysis, but Demon Lord pressure!

Two silver-haired lolis were lying on top of him fast asleep. Most shocking of all, from the look and feel of things, the only piece of clothing on them were two pairs of socks…

Their heads rested against his chest, sprawled on him in deep sleep… one hand around each other’s back, one hand resting on his shoulders. From their mouths came soft, muffled sounds as they slept peacefully… ² Gutter… what the actual fuck happened…

(Teddy bear in the Demon Lord’s room: Bro, it’s just two lolis on top of you. Happens to me all the time, calm down…)

What the hell, you two little succubi? Oh, I get it, this is one of those dreams… but I only love Little Lu! Why did Eiya show up too? This feels so wrong…

In his confusion, Yuki doubted himself for the first time—could he actually be a playboy, wanting both sisters at once?

Honestly, if this were real, Yuki felt he would have no face left to pursue his love, Little Lu—they were real sisters! Even without bringing up ethics, if he did that, he’d really become trash.

Though Eiya was cute too, he truly had no feelings for her in that way. It made no sense… they weren’t even that close, it wasn’t like he loved anyone just for having silver hair!

No, I only love Little Lu Loli! This dream is testing me! I must hold firm… as long as I just go back to sleep naturally, it’ll be fine — I absolutely cannot betray Little Lu!

With that thought, Yuki wrapped his arms around the two girls in his embrace, keeping them safe so they wouldn’t fall off him… even if it was a dream, he had to protect them.

So the three silver-haired kids slept in this warm yet bizarre posture, with the girls’ steady breathing lulling him back to sleep…

(Jiaqi: Damn it… you three bastards! Can’t you think about my feelings, trying to sleep on the bed right next to you?!)

And so, without knowing it, Eiya had actually saved her sister from a crisis—because if only one girl had been there, who knows what Yuki might have done, thinking it was a dream… only the heavens would know.

(About the Demon Lord’s parents, I’m not trying to wash them clean… they do care about the Demon Lord, but the way they show it is all wrong.

What I’ve always portrayed is parents whose intentions are good, but whose behavior is deeply flawed—good intentions, but unqualified execution.

Since some readers thought they were being shown as utterly hopeless, I wanted to clarify.

If they were truly hopeless, the Demon Lord would never go home again in the future—and we can’t just leave her without a home… rua!)

Translator Note

ruarua… I still can’t forgive the parents though! I need to see them get slapped after it’s revealed who Eiru really is! And them being scolded by everyone!
