Demon King – Chapter 291 – The Dorm Mom Comforts the Child

The next morning, staring at the note left by a certain girl, Eiya fell into deep thought…

“I’ll head out first, remember to take good care of yourself~”

The note only had this one line, but from it Eiya felt a faint trace of sadness…

She actually ran off in the middle of the night. Now her sister doesn’t even want to spend the night at home anymore? At this rate, maybe soon she’ll never come back at all… such a feeling faintly weighed on Eiya’s heart.

“Why are you the only one? Where’s that child? Still not awake?” Liu Wan, who had prepared breakfast, saw only one person come out of the room and asked aloud.

“She had something urgent, so she left very early…” After washing up, Eiya sat gloomily on the chair, her gaze toward her mother carrying traces of resentment.

So why did you have to drive sister away? You don’t even know how upset she was yesterday… why does she have to suffer like this?

“I see, then hurry up and eat breakfast, and remember to finish your homework after you’re done.”

“Oh…”

——Dividing Line——

In dorm 1503, the three boys who had already woken up were now deep in thought… because in their eyes, hanging by the side of the small black room’s bed, a silver-haired girl was soundly asleep.

Yes, literally hanging by the bed… the silver-haired loli lay sprawled on the bedside, with her head and arms dangling in midair. If not for the protective rail along the bed’s edge, she probably would have had a close encounter with the floor.

“When did she come back?”

“How would I know? She can fly, you know. Sneaking back through the balcony at midnight, how could we even notice?”

“Should we prop her up? Honestly, I’m kind of scared she’ll fall off…”

Yuki climbed up the ladder and, moving as quietly as possible, slipped into the small black room. Picking up the girl, he adjusted her position and gently laid her on the bed…

“My god, as expected from a mother who’s raised kids for years, truly professional…” Ziyu started his weird ranting again, while Yuki only replied with a ‘kind’ smile.

“Think carefully, the hardest person to wake up in our dorm is you… if Jixian and I didn’t call you every Monday morning, what do you think would happen?”

“No no no, Yuki bro, I was wrong…” Ziyu hurriedly begged for mercy. If those two really pulled that off, he’d probably sleep all the way to noon…

He’s not like a certain girl who doesn’t even care about school… skipping class for an entire morning, that really would be a disaster.

Some people might ask, why not just set an alarm? With an alarm in hand, how could you not wake up? Just this kind of thing, and you dare call it a threat?

Anyone who’s ever stayed in a school dorm should know, there’s always that one type of person who absolutely cannot be woken up by an alarm clock alone; they need all sorts of help from their roommates…

And often, this type of person sets their alarms ridiculously early, sometimes the earliest in the whole dorm. No matter how bizarre, how stimulating, or how deafening the alarm is ringing in their ear… even if the whole dorm jumps up, they can still sleep like a sloth.

But it’s not without its benefits. At least the rest of the dorm doesn’t need to set alarms anymore… because this kind of person’s alarm wakes up the roommates anwyays.

What’s even freakier is, once someone grumbles about wanting a bit more sleep, raising their voice a little… that person can somehow instinctively wake up, turn off the alarm, and go right back to sleep, as if nothing ever happened…

In dorm 1503, Ziyu perfectly embodied all these traits. If nobody called him up, don’t expect to see him awake before noon…

Yuki didn’t bother with his begging. Everyone was just joking around anyway, plastic brotherhood wasn’t proven this way.

After settling the girl, Yuki prepared to leave, planning to let her sleep a bit longer…

“Mm~ don’t go…” A childish murmur sounded. Yuki suddenly felt his arm being hugged, and when he turned his head, he saw his best friend clinging to his arm like a koala.

“Wow, a loli baby clinging to her mommy… Mother, hurry up and lull your kid back to sleep.” Still not learning his lesson, Ziyu saw this and started acting up again.

“Ziyu, don’t even think about waking up on Monday…” With another ‘kind’ smile, Yuki picked up the silver-haired girl and carried her back to his own bed.

“Yuki bro, this is dangerous, let me tell you, it’s not three years anymore, it’s five years…”

“Quit it, the little princess is sixteen already…” Jixian gave Ziyu a firm slap on the back, cutting him off.

“Oh right… then I get it. Yuki bro wants to raise her into a loli wife.”

“Ziyu, I’ve got some very nice calming sleep aids. Do you believe that before you go to bed tonight, those magical things will show up in your water cup?” Yuki felt that if he didn’t shut his roommate up now, things would only escalate further.

“I was wrong, please don’t do that…” Ziyu instantly caved in, so fast even Jixian was impressed.

“Alright, I’ll lull Lu Brat to sleep and take a nap myself… you two, keep your voices down.” After reminding them, Yuki tucked the blanket around him and the girl, holding her as he lay down.

“It’s you two who should keep it down…”

“Hey, you still dare to act up? Aren’t you afraid Yuki bro will actually mess you up?” Jixian shot at him, and Ziyu quickly shut his mouth.

“Let’s go, Yuki bro has to comfort the kid, we should give them some space…” Jixian patted Ziyu’s back, signaling him to head out and kill some time.

“Alright, son, daddy will take you out to play… so, where do you want to go?”

“You fucking looking for death, aren’t you?”

The two bickered their way out of the dorm… and even thoughtfully locked the door from outside, to prevent any classmates from accidentally barging in.

“Silly Lu Brat…” After the two roommates left, Yuki rubbed the girl’s head in his arms. “Seeing you like this, I can tell something unhappy happened at home, right?”

“But I’m always right here with you, no need to be scared…”

“Mmhm~” As if hearing his words, the little Demon Lord let out a cute sound. In her dreams, she nuzzled her head against her best friend’s chest.

“How are you so damn cute…” Looking at Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s adorable face, Yuki had the urge to bite down.

Suppressing that impulse, Yuki tidied her hair and lightly tapped Lu’s nose with his finger.

Anyway, there’s time in the future. Plenty of chances to bite, missing this one doesn’t matter… once he fully won her over, he’d have all the opportunities to taste this girl head to toe. ¹ :capoostare:

“You’re my lifelong treasure…” Yuki lay on his side, gently stroking his beloved’s little head, closing his eyes in satisfaction…

“I love you, Lu Brat…”

At least Eiru has Yuki to make up for her birthgivers… [/mfn]
