Demon King – Chapter 266 – Mom and Dad

“So what’s with all the mystery?” On the rooftop, Jiaqi stretched lazily as he looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

“I might have to move out of the dorm soon. Do you want to live in 1503? You can apply, and I’ll ask Stupid Yuki to arrange for you to be transferred in…”

Eiru felt that since she didn’t have much time left, staying in the dorm didn’t make much sense. It would be better to live at her rental place, since it was closer to the milk tea shop and more convenient for work.

Besides, Jiaqi wasn’t that close with his new roommates yet. Moving him into 1503 would be good for everyone.

“What’s this, you’re finally thinking straight? You realized it’s not convenient for a girl to live in a boys’ dorm?” Jiaqi still wore his usual grin. Honestly, when he first heard his childhood friend was living in a boys’ dorm, he was shocked.

Even if she used to be a boy, now she was a little girl hanging around three grown men all the time… Anyone who didn’t know better would think some strange story was about to unfold.

That was why, for the sake of her reputation and safety, he had strongly objected at first, even planning to talk directly to her parents. It took a lot of persuading from Eiru to talk him down.

Now hearing that she finally intended to move out, Jiaqi’s inner thought was—ah, the child has grown up, she finally knows this isn’t proper, she knows how to protect her reputation. ¹ Nope… Jiaqi… She’s only doing this because she’s dying…

“Anyway, just think about it. That’s all, I’m heading to work now~” Seeing that irritating grin, the Demon Lord knew her childhood friend’s thoughts had gone in some weird direction again.

But she didn’t bother to explain. As long as the result was right, that was enough. After all, the Demon Lord never cared much about the process—what mattered more was figuring out how to handle her  physical issues.

“Although I’ve temporarily stabilized Eiya’s body, please keep an eye on her too… I can’t manage everything…” Before leaving, Eiru stuck her tongue out playfully, entrusting her sister’s matter to him.

After the trip to the hot spring villa, the two had already talked about Eiya’s issue… As expected, Jiaqi already knew she was one of the Daughters of Amber Crystal. As someone in the know, there was no one more suitable to look after her.

“Also, my sister might be dating Stupid Yuki… keep an eye on that too. If necessary, you can tell him about it.”

“Yuki and her? Now that you mention it, he did ask about you two before…” Jiaqi was stunned at first, then remembered Yuki had indeed asked about the legend from their hometown… Thinking about it now, he really did seem quite concerned about Eiya.

“He already knows about her condition, so you don’t have to worry he’ll dump her over it…” Back then, she hadn’t thought much and told him directly. Since his attitude hadn’t changed, it meant he wouldn’t reject Eiya because of it.

“That’s good… anyways, just watch over them, okay? I’m off now…” With that, the Demon Lord spread her wings, soaring into the air as her body slowly turned transparent.

“You can’t watch her yourself? She’s your sister, you know? You lazy bum, what are you even busy with…” Jiaqi had seen this scene before, so he wasn’t surprised. Instead, he grumbled at the fading figure. ² SHE’S FKING DYING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

After the girl’s escape, Jiaqi, as usual, dropped by 1503. Seeing a silver-haired boy sprawled like a salted fish, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Laugh at what, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet…” Yuki shot him a glare, clearly unhappy.

“What did I even do?” Jiaqi looked baffled and wronged. He hadn’t done anything.

“Don’t play dumb. Don’t tell me you didn’t know about Lu Brat. You actually managed to hide it from me…” ³ Oop, Jiaqi just exposed everything to Yuki 😀

“Honestly, I only found out about her after I came back from abroad, and you never asked me, did you?” Jiaqi spread his hands. “But you, knowing her situation, still let her live here? What are you trying to do?”

Jixian and Ziyu were both utterly confused, as if they were listening to nonsense. What were these two talking about? What’s up with Housewife Lu now…

“It can’t be helped. You’ve noticed her clueless habits, right? It’s even less safe if she’s outside…” Yuki said, meaning it was better to keep her close under watch. Otherwise, who knew what trouble she might cause.

“That’s true…” Jiaqi rubbed his chin. He also deeply understood that Eiru had no self-awareness as a girl.

“You two are like an old mom and dad! Why don’t you just get married already and raise Housewife Lu together…” Ziyu started stirring trouble again, and naturally received a dual beating in response.

——After evening self-study——

“I’m so mad, Stupid Yuki actually ditched me…” After her shift, still in her uniform dress, the Demon Lord carried a bag with several drinks as she flew toward the dorms.

He had said he’d come to drink something, so she’d specially made some of the shop’s most popular drinks. But even after closing, no one showed up.

On second thought, there was evening self-study, so of course they couldn’t come. In the end, she took the joke seriously. Thinking back, it was obviously a joke, but she had believed it.

Anyway, since the drinks were on the house and not deducted from her pay, she decided not to waste them and packed them up to bring back.

Landing gently on the boys’ dorm rooftop, Eiru released her invisibility and folded her wings back into her body. With both hands full, she used her flexible tail to open the stairwell door.

Closing it softly behind her, she turned to find a large cat waiting in the dark stairwell.

“Good Gulu, I brought you some treats too…” Stroking the big cat’s head with her tail, the Demon Lord headed downstairs with it.

“Yo, Housewife Lu’s back? Huh, and Little Lu too…” Opening the door was Jixian. Seeing the small figure behind his roommate, he turned to shout toward someone on a bed.

“Yuki, Lu Brat back with the loli again!”

Lately, Eiru had the feeling her best friend had started suspecting something. So during the past half month, she often disguised Gulu as herself to confuse him…

Apparently, this worked pretty well. At least Yuki didn’t act strange while dealing with both versions of her. The Demon Lord figured she had fooled him, but every now and then, like today, she’d use this trick again to prove that the two of them were separate individuals.
