Demon King – Chapter 292 – The Quiet Demon Lord

“Mm~” A certain girl on the bed propped herself up with her arms and legs, and stretched lazily like a little animal.

“Awake, Lu Brat?” Lying on his side, Yuki looked at the cute sight before him, smiling as he patted her little head.

“Mmhm~” The little Demon Lord rolled over, turning half a circle until her back rested against her best friend. She wriggled against him, acting completely like a child seeking affection.

“Alright, alright… good girl~” One arm around her, Yuki reached out to scratch his beloved’s chin. “If you’ve slept enough, get up and wash your face and brush your teeth. When did you come back last night?”

“Around three or four in the morning? Didn’t check the time~ What time is it now?” With her eyes half closed, Eiru’s soft, adorable voice nearly melted Yuki’s bones.

“Almost noon, time to get up, little lazybug…”

Yuki lightly pinched her waist, and the ticklish girl immediately bounced up…

“Don’t pinch there! Bastard!”

“Alright alright, my bad…”

After washing up, the little Demon Lord, dressed in a black sheer nightdress, sat quietly at the edge of her bed. With her hands propped up behind her back, she gazed silently at the ceiling, lost in thought…

“Lu Brat, maybe put on another layer or something?” Yuki’s forehead was full of dark lines, because her outfit really was a bit much…

The black spaghetti strap nightdress she wore technically covered what it should, looking fine at first glance… but her panties were in full view, and that skirt hem barely reaching her waist was far too short, wasn’t it?

At the same time, her slender legs wrapped in black knee-high socks dangled in the air, constantly testing his fragile nerves…

“I mean… sure, it’s just the two of us in the dorm, but this is a bit too…”

“Mm? You mean this nightdress?” Hearing his words, Her Majesty the Demon Lord lowered her head and looked at her outfit…

“But you’re the one who bought this for me, remember?” The little Demon Lord hooked a finger under one strap on her shoulder and tilted her head at Yuki below.

Hiss… that cute yet seductive gesture made Yuki suck in a sharp breath. With succubus blood flowing in her, no wonder she was way too good at teasing…

“What? Don’t tell me you’re reacting to me? Think carefully, I’m your good brother…” Seeing her best friend frozen like an idiot, Eiru gave him a disgusted look. ¹ Eiru, you’re dense.

“Don’t you have a girl you like? Please mind yourself…”

Yeah yeah, mind myself. And who was it this morning who clung tightly to my arm and kept burrowing into my chest… Yuki complained inwardly as he stretched his hands toward the little girl above.

“Come down and change clothes, I’ll take you to lunch…”

Catching the silver-haired girl as she jumped down, Yuki was about to open the wardrobe to get her something to wear, but her hand pressed his down.

“I’ll just go like this, I’ll cover it with an illusion anyways… I don’t feel like changing.” Fluttering her wings, she drifted behind Yuki, resting her head on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his neck. ² This girl…

“Then let Jixian bring food back. I’m not letting you out like this…” Even if others couldn’t see, Yuki wasn’t about to agree to her stepping outside dressed like this.

“Oh…”

——Dividing Line——

“Say… isn’t the little princess way too quiet today?” After lunch, Ziyu glanced at the girl sitting back at the bed, spacing out again, and whispered to his two roommates.

Ever since she revealed her identity, the girl was always noisy and playful in the dorm. Seeing her so quiet now, the group really felt unaccustomed to it.

“She gets like this when she has something on her mind…” As the one who knew Eiru best, Yuki wasn’t too surprised… but there was still worry in his eyes when he looked at her.

“Did something happen at home?”

Hearing Jixian’s words, Yuki suddenly recalled what Jiaqi had said—that Eiru probably went home because of her sister. With this reaction now… could something have happened to Eiya?

“I’m going to sleep a bit…” Just as they were talking, the little Demon Lord’s face suddenly changed. Dropping that one line, she darted into the small black room and pulled the curtain shut…

While the other two were still exchanging looks, Yuki felt something was wrong—she’d just woken up, so how could she want to sleep again so soon?

So, under their odd gazes, Yuki crept up the ladder and pressed his ear to the curtain, trying to listen inside…

“Yuki bro, that’s real dangerous behavior…”

“Finally showing your true colors as a man?”

“Shh…” Yuki signaled for quiet, and both Jixian and Ziyu quickly shut their mouths.

With the room silent, Yuki could barely make out her sounds through the curtain.

Besides the unusually faint breathing, probably because of the curtain—there was nothing else inside. It really did sound like she was asleep.

But after listening for a while, the sound suddenly vanished without warning. Yuki’s heart skipped. Just as he was about to go in and check, the curtain was suddenly yanked open, and he came face-to-face with a pair of bright blue eyes.

“What… are you doing?” Eiru’s expression was very ugly. After all, someone creeping around suspiciously like that, who wouldn’t give them a nasty look?

“Ah haha… well, actually…” Yuki forced a laugh, unable to find an excuse. He knew perfectly well that this looked no different from a pervert.

“Being a perverted man isn’t wrong, but please mind yourself… you’ve got a girl you like, so don’t get weird ideas about your brother, thanks.” Saying that, the little Demon Lord rolled her eyes and yanked the curtain shut again.

It’s over, Lu Brat’s going to hate me… Struck like lightning, Yuki froze on the spot, while countless alpacas trampled all over his heart. ³ This is such a wild statement lmfao

Why did I have to meddle and climb up here like an idiot! If this leaves her with a bad impression, my whole plan to win her over will be ruined—Yuki regretted it bitterly, truly regretted…

“Yuki bro, that’s tragic…” Ziyu couldn’t bear to look at the sad scene anymore, turning away only to see Jixian covering his mouth, nearly bursting into laughter.

“Hey, you okay?”

“N…nothing…” Jixian waved his hand, trying to regain composure.

Unlike Ziyu, Jixian knew Yuki had feelings for the loli in the small black room. So this dramatic scene, along with her reply, hit his funny bone hard.

“Oh right, Jiaqi said he’s inviting me to dinner tonight… want to come too?” Suddenly, the curtain opened again, and Eiru poked her head out to ask the petrified Yuki…

Translator Note

Sometimes someone just wants to be alone. However, Eiru is on a time bomb before her body deteriorates too much… so maybe Yuki does need to just force it and bulldoze through everything… but who knows.
