Demon King – Chapter 243 – Preparations Before Military Training

Her vision was blinded by a vast azure light…

But from the feedback she was receiving from her senses, along with that suffocating feeling—there was no doubt she was underwater.

“Glug glug glug…” Her body instinctively struggled and as Eiru became aware of her situation, her fear of water once again spread in her heart…

Why was she underwater? She didn’t even have time to think about the question before a piercing pain shot through her body—something was stabbing into her.

Hands, arms, thighs, calves, chest, stomach… countless unknown things drove themselves deep into almost every part of her body. In the midst of that piercing pain, those strange things were forcing some unknown substance into her body.

Unable to see anything clearly, she couldn’t figure out what was happening. Her mind was filled only with pain and fear. She wanted to scream, but she was underwater… the moment she opened her mouth, a flood of water inevitably poured inside.

No, I don’t want this… anyone, please get me out of here…

She cried for help in her heart, but no sound came from her lips. The piercing pain, the suffocating pressure of the water, and her fear of water… under all these overwhelming sensations, her brain reacted with a natural defense mechanism—it shut her consciousness off.

“No!” With a scream, the little Demon Lord sat upright in bed. Her clothes were soaked through with cold sweat.

“That dream again… really scary.” After realizing where she was, Her Majesty the Demon Lord let out a breath—it was just another nightmare.

“Why am I always having these strange dreams lately…” She turned her body, sat by the side of the bed, and slowly pulled off her sweat-drenched clothes…

The day after learning that Eiya was one of the Daughters of Amber Crystal, she secretly flew to Crystal Amber Lake… intending to see if she could find a way to solve the problem afflicting her sister.

But the Amber Crystal had already disappeared, so of course she gained nothing. But ever since she returned, she would often have these strange nightmares like the one just now—in a way, it was also a discovery, though not one she wanted.

“Gurgle~” Standing up, Eiru stripped down until only her knee-high socks were left, before stretching lazily and glancing at the electronic clock on her desk.

“Damn, it’s not even five o’clock yet?” With her eyes wide, the little Demon Lord wondered if she should just go back to sleep again.

Her alarm was set for seven and the scheduled gathering time was at eight thirty. Everything was already packed, so she had nothing to do in the next few hours. If she didn’t sleep it would really be a loss.

But after a nightmare that was terrifying enough to leave a psychological scar, it was impossible for her to get sleepy again—just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

“But if I don’t sleep what can I even do…” Depressed, the little Demon Lord sat back on her bed and began pondering her life.

Gulu had already been taken away by Yuki last night, so she had no cat to cuddle… since she would be staying at the training base for two weeks, it was impossible to leave the cat with her.

“If I knew, I would have forced Stupid Yuki to stay with me last night…” With no one by her side, Eiru had taken quite a while to fall asleep yesterday.

And then she was scared awake by a nightmare, so she didn’t sleep much at all. And now, even though she wasn’t tired, her energy was still low.

Of course, asking her best friend to stay was only something she could think or say out loud, not something she could actually do—after all, he also had to pack for their military training, so how could he have time to indulge her whims?

“Guwu…” Puffing up her cheeks, Her Majesty the Demon Lord walked to the living room—since she had nothing to do, she might as well check if she had forgotten anything she needed…

After washing up, she squatted in front of her luggage. A bare, silver-haired girl was holding a handwritten checklist while cross-checking the items inside her bags.

Why wasn’t she wearing clothes? Because it was cooler… she was the only one home, so no one could see anyways. She could always throw on a skirt right before leaving…

Her tail curled around her arm, with the tip right beside her head. The little Demon King nibbled at the tip of her tail to release tension while double checking her list of items she needed..

“Looks like I packed everything; there’s nothing missing…” Tossing the checklist onto the table, Her Majesty the Demon Lord collapsed onto the sofa, continuing to chew on her seemingly sharp, but in reality really soft tail tip.

“It’s just past five… I still have so much time.” Glancing at the clock on the wall, Eiru got bored again.

“Stupid Yuki~ Eiya~ Stupid Qi~ I miss you guys so much…” Flopping onto the sofa like a salted fish, Her Majesty the Demon Lord started whining.

“I wish someone could give me a hug… being alone is so boring…” Stretching her body on the sofa with her gray knee-high sock covered legs swinging up behind her, Eiru looked just like a playful little loli right now.

“Achoo!” Having just gotten out of bed and biting into his breakfast sandwich, Yuki sneezed. “Weird, who’s talking about me…”

“Speaking of which, Lu Brat’s body is still pretty weak… should I pack some medicine for him?” After another bite of his sandwich, Yuki pondered out loud.

Although he kind of wanted to see his usually hyper and mischievous best friend getting thoroughly disciplined and humiliated, Yuki was still worried about his health. Although, military training would help with his fitness, so his participation definitely wasn’t a bad thing.

Yuki had already thoughtfully prepared things like spray medicine for bruises and such long ago… and considering Little Lu might also be attending, he even packed an extra can just in case.

Honestly, this military training was in some ways also his test—with so many people around, even if Little Lu had special abilities, she couldn’t stir up trouble… and if both Little Lu and Lu Brat showed up at the same time, that would fully confirm they were two different people.

“So I’ll bring plenty of food for both of them… meals at the training base aren’t great, and snacks and drinks are expensive there too…” Yuki had done his homework well, consulting senior students and doing some research online about the training base.

Snacks and drinks were, as expected, really expensive there, probably due to transport costs. From what he knew, whether it was his best friend or that scheming bratty loli, neither of them would be willing to spend money there.

And as for lodging… he didn’t know whether their group would be assigned to eight-person dorms or a big hall. Since they were in different classes, the chance of staying in the same room as his best friend was very slim…

“I hope he gets along with the others…” Yuki sighed, and bit into his sandwich again…

Translator Note

AHHHHHH anyways, I wonder if Eiru was experimented on in the past?
