Demon King – Chapter 255 – Yuki is Going to Catch Someone

In short, whether Lu Brat and Lu Loli were the same person or not, right now Yuki sincerely hoped they weren’t—otherwise his wife was going to run off with someone else! ¹ EXACTLY!!! SO YOU GOTTA GO RUN AND CATCH YOUR WIFE!!! YOU FOOL!!!

While Yuki was stuck in his own tangled thoughts, Eiru and Yue Yue had already bought their things and were heading off in another direction, completely unaware of the trio secretly watching from behind.

“By the way, I’ll call you Yueyue, so what will you call me? Don’t even think about using Lulu…” The Demon Lord said as she gulped down a big mouthful of coke.

“Mm… then, how about… hubby?” Yue Yue pressed her finger to her lips and suddenly threw out a bizarre answer.

“Pfft!” Hearing that, Eiru nearly choked, spraying Coke everywhere.

“Puhahaha…” Seeing this ridiculous sight, Yue Yue couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

“Just kidding, just kidding, no need to react so big.” Yue Yue pulled a pack of tissues out of her pocket and handed them over, still smiling brightly.

“That joke was way too much. Come up with something normal…” Eiru grumbled as she wiped up the mess, clearly rattled more than amused.

After everyone finished the live-fire shooting activity, the afternoon quickly passed. After dinner, everyone returned to their dorms, waiting for the evening training assembly.

“Lu Brat… are you dating someone?” By the water tower on the fourth floor, Yuki dragged his best friend over and asked with a deadly serious expression.

“Huh? What?” The Demon Lord looked completely baffled, then after a moment realized what this was about. “You mean Yueyue?”

“Yeah, I saw you with her this afternoon… when did you two get together?” From the look on his buddy’s face, Yuki guessed the two really were a thing. And sure enough, Eiru was even calling her Yueyue now.

“It was during training actually… she asked me if I could be her boyfriend.” Thinking back on it, Eiru herself felt the whole thing was surreal.

“So when exactly did this happen?” The confession time was clear, but Yuki still wanted to know when they started getting close. And how had they managed to keep it hidden from him?

“It was the same day, really. We got familiar chatting in class… then on the bus she asked me to be her boyfriend.” Eiru shrugged. “It was just something within my ability, so I agreed.”

Within your ability? That’s just picking up a girl! Yuki silently cursed to himself. And moving this fast? Confession on the same day? What kind of insane efficiency is that?

If Yue Yue had heard this conversation, she probably would’ve smacked her crush on the head—don’t make it sound so casual! I’ve liked you for ages!

“Alright, fine… just be careful.” Yuki figured his buddy knew what he was doing. If he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t have accepted her confession. Thinking that way, he should probably give his blessing.

“By the way, I’ve got a question, and you have to answer honestly…” Yuki slapped his cheeks, steeled himself, and looked at Eiru seriously.

“W-What?” Swallowing nervously, Eiru suddenly felt uneasy under his best friend’s gaze.

“You and Little Lu… what exactly is your relationship?”

“Oh, that’s what you’re asking? We’re siblings, you know that.” Eiru let out a sigh of relief and answered without hesitation.

Lu Brat was Eiya’s older brother, LittleLu was Eiya’s older sister… and in a sense, Little Lu could be considered younger than Lu Brat. So calling them siblings made perfect sense.

Since it was technically true, it wasn’t a lie. Naturally, she showed no guilty reaction. Just like that, she successfully fooled the one person who supposedly knew her best.

Perhaps Yuki never realized that knowing someone too well could actually become a weakness. Who would have thought he’d stumble on the one thing he should never have missed?

Still, Yuki remained somewhat suspicious, but at this stage, he didn’t want to dwell on it. Then again… maybe he should speed up his pursuit of Little Lu?

After Yuki left, the loli in question switched back to her true form once she was sure no one was around, flying up to the water tower.

Perched high with her legs swinging, the demon lord yawned widely from exhaustion.

“So tired… so sleepy…” she muttered, crawling back into the loft she’d been using as a bedroom. Pulling the coat over herself, she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

“A short nap will do… I should’ve kept Stupid Yuki here to hold me for a bit…” Setting an alarm on her phone, the little Demon Lord cuddled into her coat and drifted off.

“Tsk… I’m an idiot, I forgot to give him the stuff.” Reaching the first floor, Yuki realized he was still carrying a small plastic bag meant for his best friend.

“Forget it, I’ll just put it in his suitcase.” Scratching his head, he decided not to bother the rooftop slacker who always hung around the tower.

At the big dormitory, Yuki quickly found his buddy’s oversized suitcase under the window.

Placing it flat, he glanced at the four-digit lock and smiled faintly, spinning it straight to his own birthday.

0-1-2-0. With a crisp click, the lock opened smoothly. Really, these two using each other’s birthdays as passwords was ridiculous.

“He really packed a lot… I’ll just stick it here.” Muttering to himself, Yuki tucked the bag inside. But just as he was about to close it, something caught his eye.

Beneath his buddy’s folded clothes was a piece of fabric that didn’t belong—yet looked oddly familiar.

Driven by curiosity, Yuki lifted the clothes slightly, and what he saw made his eyes widen.

A black crop top, a black pleated skirt with blue star patterns, and a short-sleeved jacket with semi-transparent sleeves—this was the exact outfit he’d once bought for Little Lu Loli!

Digging deeper, Yuki even found the military loli uniform and the black wedding dress he’d gifted her before. Why on earth were these clothes brought to training camp?

His expression growing more and more complicated, Yuki carefully put everything back, closed the suitcase, and stood in silence for a long while.

Finally, placing the suitcase back beneath the window, he turned and rushed upstairs to the fourth floor…
