Demon King – Chapter 271 – The Demon Lord Can Ghost and Dance

“Idiot idiot idiot!” Walking along the sidewalk in her round-toed leather shoes, Eiru kicked a pebble hard as her dissatisfaction and resentment nearly condensed into something tangible.

“I was just trying to help him, what’s wrong with giving him some experience before graduation?” The little Demon Lord pouted, kicking another stone away in frustration.

“I’m offering myself for practice and he still rejects me just because he despises me… come on, I’m half a succubus, so it shouldn’t be that bad of an experience, right? Anyways, when your wife hates you later, don’t blame me for not warning you…” She glared in the direction of Yuki’s classroom before suddenly crouching down by the roadside like a deflated balloon.

“So infuriating… I don’t have much time left so I was giving him a chance to enjoy himself; letting him take advantage of me, and he still refused.” Hugging her knees under a tree by the teaching building, the Demon Lord sank into disappointment again…

“Guess I really was rejected, huh? He doesn’t even want me when I offer myself… I’m useless.”

“No no, I can’t think like that…” The little Demon Lord slapped her cheeks to cheer herself up. “He has someone he likes, so of course he’d turn me down… isn’t that proof of his loyalty?”

Comforting herself with that excuse, Eiru stood up and stretched. Just as she was about to leave, a voice called out…

“Junior, what a coincidence… we meet again.”

“Hm? You are… oh, senior.” Looking at the familiar figure with a gentle smile, Eiru quickly recognized him—it was Senior Lei Wu, who had chatted with her in the cafeteria at the end of last semester.

“Junior, what happened just now? I saw you crouching under a tree looking upset…” Lei Wu asked with a concerned expression.

“I just had an argument with a friend, it’s nothing serious…” The little Demon Lord waved her hand dismissively—it wasn’t even an argument, more like a one-sided scolding.

“But senior, shouldn’t you be in class? It’s not break time… and if I remember right, you’re in your third year, aren’t you?” The Demon Lord suddenly realized something was off. Why would a student be wandering outside at this time? Even if he was fetching materials for a teacher, that wouldn’t take him outside the building.

Everyone knew how busy third years were. Once you hit your third year, there were basically no more electives like PE or computer classes—so this senior had no reason to be out here.

“Yeah, my third year is really busy… you’re in your second year now, right?” Scratching his head awkwardly, Lei Wu didn’t want to admit he had snuck out since he feared it would make him look bad.

“Don’t change the subject, why aren’t you in class?” Eiru frowned, pressing the issue.

“I skipped, alright. Didn’t you skip too? Anyway, I’m in the third year honor class, so skipping a class or two won’t matter.” Realizing he couldn’t hide it, Lei Wu confessed. But then again, this girl was also skipping, so clearly she wasn’t some goody-two-shoes.

“I was planning to sneak out with some friends to do karaoke and grab a bite. Want to come?” Lei Wu reached out his hand, inviting the cute little junior.

“Sure… I’m bored anyway. But if you’re sneaking out, I suggest you change clothes.” Glancing at his school uniform, Eiru offered her advice, based on her own wall-climbing experience.

Wearing a uniform to climb walls? Be careful your pants don’t rip. Even if they don’t, those trousers aren’t meant for climbing. And if a teacher spots you outside in uniform, you’re just asking to get caught.

“Of course I know, it’s not my first time sneaking out. I’ll go change first. If you want to come, I suggest you change too, that dress uniform isn’t convenient either. I’ll wait for you by the east grove wall… see you.” With that, Lei Wu walked toward the third-year boys’ dorm.

“Guess I should change too…” Looking down at her own uniform, the little Demon Lord agreed she needed something more suitable. ¹ Eiru… sigh, no matter how powerful you are as a demon lord, this is…

—Back in the dorm, changing clothes—

“This outfit isn’t bad…” Choosing an outfit Yuki had bought for her, the little Demon Lord spun once in front of the mirror before nodding in satisfaction.

A black short-sleeved windbreaker with translucent blue-trimmed sleeves over a black mesh crop top, matched with a trendy miniskirt decorated with blue stars. It was so short it barely covered her thighs, but it gave her a bold and streety vibe.

Her lower body was styled in a trendy yet sporty look. Her small feet slipped into a pair of black-and-blue robot-looking platform boots. A garterbelt was attached to her right leg’s black-and-blue striped knee-high sock, while her left leg wore a solid black opaque knee-high sock, held in place with a waistband strap and a sporty brace.

The asymmetric straps solved the problem of socks being impractical for movement… this sporty and trendy outfit was perfect for climbing walls.

“Not bad at all…” Putting on a pair of black gloves decorated with blue stars, the little Demon Lord bounced on her toes. Despite how it looked, the boots weren’t heavy at all and fit comfortably.

The outer mechanical frame was just decorative, preventing the boots from slipping off but making them harder to remove. She admired herself in the mirror, looking like a delinquent girl ready to stir trouble.

“But… it’s so lewd…” Stylish and cool as it was, the outfit showed too much skin, and inevitably she blushed.

The more she admired herself, the more aroused she became. Her succubus blood started to stir within her—yes, she was actually getting turned on by her own reflection. ² Ah……… well, better than that other guy

“Just for a bit… is fine…” Removing the most troublesome piece of fabric, Eiru covered her face with her hands and sat down before lifting her long, slender legs wrapped in knee-high socks onto the desk in front of her…

An hour and a half passed as the girl indulged herself in her dorm room, venting the suppressed urges of her succubus nature… ³ Gutter…

Meanwhile, at the east grove wall, a figure in sportswear stood impatiently with his arms crossed. ⁴ Good. Die.

“So slow, did she bail on me? Is she standing me up?” Lei Wu scowled. If she didn’t show, all his preparations would be wasted.

“Damn it, forget it, something’s wrong with this. Consider yourself lucky this time.” He pulled out his phone and made a call.

“That bitch flaked, don’t waste the drug. Save it for next time… relax, there’ll be plenty of chances. Next time we’ll all have our fun with her.” ⁵ I’m pulling out my bow.

—Meanwhile, back in the boys’ dorm—

“Hah… huh… did I… forget someone?” With her legs still propped up on the desk, the little Demon Lord slumped in her chair, breathless and dazed, faintly sensing that she had forgotten something…

Eiru had no idea she had just skirted the edge of disaster. Because of that moment of indulgence, she had unknowingly saved herself.

(PS: After her loli transformation, Eiru actually became quite skilled at singing and dancing…)

Translator Note

Well… this chapter certainly happened… But Eiru really is at fault here… how dense can someone possibly be without turning into a black hole…
