Demon King – Chapter 244 – GOGOGO, Off to Military Training

“Emmmmm… should I wear this one or not?” Standing in front of the mirror, the naked little Demon Lord held up a beige dress against herself, debating what clothes she should wear.

“Wait a second… I’m going to military training, not a picnic. Why am I picking out clothes?” While fussing over her outfits, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly realized something was wrong.

After all, once she got there, everyone had to change into military uniforms anyway. What was the point of trying on clothes now? Patting her head, Eiru tossed the dress onto the bed…

That aside, she still needed to prepare some money to buy a military uniform for her true form at the base. After all, the school only gave her a male-sized set, and there was no way Eiru could report the measurements of her real body.

Though her plan was to stay in disguise most of the time, there would still be times when she needed to use her real body. So getting an extra uniform that actually fits her would make it easier to move around there.

“My savings…” Pulling open the drawer, the little Demon Lord counted the pile of paper bills inside, checking how much she had left.

“Over four hundred left… should be fine.” Spread out across the table was a pile of bills and coins in all sorts of denominations, ranging from ten yuan to one jiao ¹ 10 jiao is 1 yuan … but no large notes.

The reason she had all this cash was because this time military training officially didn’t allow phones. So she couldn’t count on mobile payment. Not only was it not supported, but she’d also risk having to pay for a confiscated phone.

“A uniform set is close to a hundred, right? That leaves about three hundred for other expenses. But wait, will they even have my size over there…” The Demon Lord fell into hesitation. With her height… emmmmm…

The school’s uniform only cost thirty to fifty yuan, but Eiru had checked online. Everything at the training base sold for far more than outside.

“Life is tough… better save it.” In the end, the little Demon Lord only took out half her savings. After all, food and lodging was covered, so she just needed to spend sparingly.

“Hm?” Eiru glanced at her phone and noticed a new message. As expected, it was from her best friend.

‘I’m heading to school first. Be careful during training. By the way, is Little Lu going too? When we get breaks, we should go visit her…’

Ah… The little Demon Lord scratched her head helplessly, then replied simply: she wasn’t in good health, so she wouldn’t be participating this time.

What a joke, taking you to see myself? Forget everything else, she couldn’t even answer just the question of what class she’d be in. It was better to just tell him Little Lu wasn’t going so he’d give up on that idea.

On the other side, Yuki looked at his best friend’s reply and actually felt relieved.

To be honest, with that fragile body of Little Lu’s, Yuki really feared she’d collapse. Eiru might be weak too, but since he was at least a boy, he could handle it.

Though they weren’t in the same class and might not even train in the same area, Yuki still planned to check in on his troublesome friend during breaks.

Still, he couldn’t deny a bit of disappointment. He really did want to see another side of Little Lu. And two weeks without seeing the one he liked would be rough.

“Ah… I really want to bring Little Lu home with me…” Rubbing his head, someone was falling into lovesick daze once again while walking. By now, his feelings for a certain girl had reached an almost obsessive level.

“Achoo! Who’s thinking about me?” The little Demon Lord sneezed. She had just finished dressing and was dragging along her oversized suitcase, ready to leave.

A white knit sweater, paired with a gray plaid skirt, and gray knee-high socks complemented this casual outfit—it didn’t look like something for military training at all.

“You’re already a full-fledged suitcase. Use your invincible wheels to take me to school!” Sitting on top of the upright suitcase at the door, the girl started acting silly again.

If the suitcase could talk, it would definitely curse her out. I’m just a suitcase, not a hoverboard, what the hell!

Her male disguise had already changed into the school uniform. The reason Eiru was setting out in her real form was simply because her magic was precious. Better to save it where she could.

She could just switch to her disguise once she reached somewhere hidden near the school. No big deal. Thinking this, the Demon Lord put on her black short boots and set off while dragging her suitcase…

“Mm~ lalalala~” Humming softly, the silver-haired loli who was dressed like she was going on a trip caught the attention of many passersby.

What Eiru didn’t know was that word had already spread through the neighborhood about an adorable silver-haired loli who lived nearby. After all, she looked so well-behaved and cute. Who wouldn’t like her?

The little Demon Lord’s suitcase was nearly as tall as her real body. A loli barely over 1.4 meters tall pulled a suitcase nearly 1.2 meters high—although it was strangely cute, it was also quite a bizarre sight.

A suitcase that big obviously had to be heavy. If not for being afraid of scaring the adorable girl, there probably would’ve been lots of people who would have rushed to help her drag it.

But Eiru paid no attention to the sympathetic and doting looks from strangers. As long as they didn’t crowd her or stare with malicious intent, she usually wouldn’t notice at all.

To save magic, the Demon Lord didn’t use magic to enhance her body for pulling the suitcase. So it was still a bit exhausting.

Every so often she’d stop to rest. And while the big suitcase was a pain to drag, it did have its perks… Like right now, Eiru was able to sit on it, swinging her legs with an easy carefree look.

In a side alley, a few thugs had noticed the impossibly cute silver-haired girl outside. They sneaked around, approaching her…

“Hey little girl, you’re so cute… We’ve got some candy and fun stuff to play with, want to come with us?”

Spacing out while sitting on her suitcase, the Demon Lord finally came back to her senses when she heard their sleazy voices.

“Haven’t we… met somewhere before?” Looking at their malicious faces, Eiru frowned. They looked a bit familiar, like she’d seen them before.

“Hm?” Reminded like that, the thugs took a better look at her face.

Silver hair, blue eyes, a deadly cute face and a striking figure, not to mention that signature flat chest… Cold sweat broke out as they remembered a certain afternoon from not long ago.

“Oh, I remember now, I think I already beat you guys up…” The little Demon Lord smacked her palm. “So you came here today just to be my punching bags?”

“Sorry! You’ve got the wrong people!” The thugs bowed deeply, then sprinted away.

What a joke. She had taken down more than twenty guys with metal bats before like it was nothing. Just the few of them? That was suicide. In the whole Eastern District, who dared cross this demoness?

“So boring… show some backbone. I thought I’d get a fight…” Clicking her tongue in disdain, Eiru watched them run away.

Enough resting… The little Demon Lord hopped down from the suitcase and kept slowly dragging it toward the school…

Translator Note

I want Yuki to find out Eiru’s real identity already smh…
