Demon King – Chapter 284 – The Title Ate the Macho Man

(tn: rip author, I guess no more slacker demon king)

“By the way… I have a question to ask…”

“What is it? You’re not going to ask me why I did this, are you?”

“You sealed away all the memories, what if your future self… before recalling them…?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already calculated it. Based on the speed of assimilation and theoretical exhaustion, before that happens the seal will loosen due to magic depletion. There will be enough time for her to solve the problem.”

“Then why not solve it now? Why wait for your future self?”

“Come on, think about how old I am this year? Besides, I can’t solve it now anyway. It’s like if I take cold medicine now, it won’t cure the cold I’ll get in the future, right?”

“I see…”

—— Dividing Line ——

A strange dream… opening her sleepy eyes, the Demon Lord lay sideways on the bed with a dazed expression.

Looking down, Eiru noticed that Yuki was hugging her tightly from behind while also holding both her hands—as if afraid something might happen to her or afraid she’d run away.

Because she had broken his thing, Yuki’s compensation request was very simple—don’t ask, just be my body pillow at night. Anyway, it wasn’t the first time, so Her Majesty the Demon Lord naturally agreed.

“Wuhoo～” Rubbing her back against the person behind her, the half-asleep Demon Lord grabbed Yuki’s hand and directly bit down on his finger.

“???” The sleeping Yuki was jolted awake and almost jumped out of bed… but quickly remembered there was a girl in his arms, so he forced himself to stay still.

“You naughty loli, biting people…” Helplessly watching the silver-haired loli nibbling his finger, Yuki smiled and pinched her little cheek before hugging her close and shutting his eyes again.

“Can’t eat anymore～ Stupid Yuki…” While lightly biting, the Demon Lord also mumbled vaguely…

As if not satisfied with just that, the sleeping Eiru turned over, then opened her mouth wide toward him…

“Let go! Lu Brat, you’re biting my chin again! What’s wrong with you!” Yuki almost jumped out of bed again. “Why do you like biting things so much?!”

——A night passed——

“I don’t want to go to class…” Wearing a white nightdress, the Demon Lord lay on Yuki’s bed, poking her little head out over the side to look at the three roommates packing up for morning study.

“You say it like you’ve ever been to class…” Having finished washing up, Yuki muttered while changing clothes, “You just don’t want to leave the dorm, right?”

“Eheh～” Her Majesty the Demon Lord stuck out her tongue mischievously.

“Well, the school doesn’t care anyway… if you’re staying in the dorm, just don’t run around.” Jixian patted the girl’s little head and handed her a box of soda crackers.

“Mhm～” Rubbing her head against his palm, Eiru’s behavior made the three boys feel like they were raising a pet in the dorm.

“By the way, where’s Gulu? Did he not come back last night?” Looking around the dorm and not seeing the big cat, Ziyu asked.

“In the little black room, sleeping. These last two days Gulu’s been hogging my bed…” The Demon Lord pointed to her little black room with an annoyed look—that was supposed to be her bed, why was it occupied by a cat?

“That’s what you get for sleeping with Yuki and feeding us dog food every day, now your bed’s been invaded by a third party, huh?” Ziyu mocked immediately—he’d had enough of these two shoving dog food in his face all the time.

“What do you mean dog food? We’re just good brothers… don’t make it sound like I’m dating him, okay?”

Stupid Yuki already had a girl he liked, and besides, who would have feelings for their good brother? Plus she used to be a boy… people can’t, or at least shouldn’t…

“Mhm mhm, good brothers…” Compared to the mostly joking Ziyu, Jixian, who knew the truth, couldn’t hold back a laugh. After giving Yuki a meaningful look, he patted him on the shoulder.

The most distant thing in the world is I like you, but you treat me like a bro… So, brother, you’ve got a long way to go.

Yuki was embarrassed, knowing their relationship was a mess right now… but he didn’t dare make a move. If she didn’t accept, it would be a disaster.

“And actually, it was because Gulu dirtied my bed after running around outside that I went to sleep with Stupid Yuki…”

“By the way, I want fried noodles for lunch, Stupid Yuki remember to bring me some…” Looking at her best friend zoning out, Eiru used her flexible tail to brush his hair. “From Xiao Chao’s place, make sure to get extra carrots and beef, I’ll pay you back when you get back.”

“Alright, alright… and don’t eat in bed, got it? And remember to brush your teeth…” While nagging, Yuki pressed her little face in his hands and rubbed it before leaving with the other two.

“Alone again～” Left alone once more, the Demon Lord started rolling around without a care for ladylike manners…

——POV Change——

“I always feel like my sister’s actively giving herself away…” Changing into her uniform for school, Eiya had been feeling a little weird these past few days.

“Oh well, with Brother Jiaqi and Brother Yuki looking after her… I don’t need to worry so much.” Comforting herself, Eiya didn’t know that her dear sister was actually living in the boys’ dorm.

After brushing her hair and touching up a few silver strands with black dye, Eiya glanced at the daily safety-check text from her sister before slinging her bag over her shoulder, stepping into her height-boosting shoes, and getting in her father’s car for school.

“Dad, during this holiday I want to go stay with my brother for a while…” Sitting in the passenger seat, Eiya made her request.

“The Eastern District is so chaotic. It’s fine for your brother since he’s a boy, but why are you, a girl, always wanting to run over there?” Eiyuan frowned. “If you really want to see him, I’ll bring him back instead.”

“No, I just want to play there～ with big bro there, nothing will happen, right?”

“You say that, but remember last time you two…”

“Didn’t big bro protect me last time? So don’t worry…”

Come on, she’d seen her big sister’s combat power—anyone who messed with her was done for.

“Fine, just be careful… your brother’s still working part-time, so he’s probably short on living expenses. Help me slip him some money, but don’t tell your mom, just say that it’s your allowance.”

“Got it, always secretly giving him money… Dad, are you really that scared of Mom?”

“I just don’t want the trouble, you know how your mom is… Last time for Little Lu’s birthday you gave him a game console, you think your mom didn’t notice? Wasn’t it me covering for you?”

“Pfft… So how did you fool her that time, Dad?”

“I told her it was a router.”

“Uh…”

Translator Note

So the father is better than the mother? Hmm…
