Demon King – Chapter 30 – Morning: The Showdown Between A Cat and A Loli

Translator Note

Thanks Enncie for the chapter!

In the early morning, three early risers washed up on the balcony, trying to keep the noise down.

“Morning study starts in half an hour. Should we wake him up?” Jixian, who’d finished washing first, asked Yuki.

“That guy took a week off—the school probably doesn’t even know he’s here. And even if he didn’t have a week off, he’d show his face in class for five minutes max before leaving.” Yuki replied casually while drying his face with a towel.

“What a rebel…”

“Isn’t he worried about getting expelled?” Ziyu voiced what Jixian was thinking, glancing helplessly at the little black fortress.

“Shh… keep it down. Eiru’s relatives have worked on several projects with the school, so as long as he doesn’t cause major trouble, they’ll turn a blind eye.”

“Ohhh… I see.” The two made exaggerated sounds of understanding.

“Let’s go, let’s go. We still need to eat breakfast, and who knows how long we’ll wait for the elevator.” Yuki urged the other two—elevators were always a wild card.

The dorm building had 19 floors with about ten rooms per floor. Nearly a thousand boarding students had to share just three elevators. Aside from one so-called “emergency elevator,” the other two alternated between odd and even floors.

On average, students effectively had only one and a half elevators available—not even two! During rush hours for school and dismissal, the scene could only be described as elevator warfare.

After changing into their school uniforms, the three tiptoed out, carefully locking the door behind them before rushing off to battle for elevator space.

The subject of their discussion—a silver-haired little loli cuddling a cat half her size—drifted between being asleep and awake.

“Gulu~ baby~” she cooed in a spoiled tone. The big cat’s fluffy texture felt like an oversized plushie, and the little Demon Lord couldn’t get enough.

As if afraid of waking the girl, Gulu stayed still, nuzzling Eiru’s cheek gently before settling back down. Gulu used the girl’s arm as a pillow, eyes closed, and let her hold him close.

The large cat acted like a protective nanny watching over the little loli beside him. Inside the small black sanctuary, one person and one cat with two tails swaying—a picture of perfect harmony…

Maine Coons are a long-haired breed, quite large in size, with a gentle temperament and forms strong bonds with humans. Having this big kitty suddenly slip into her bed last night had genuinely terrified the little Demon Lord.

But once she discovered how affectionate it was toward her, she who’d always been shunned by small animals was instantly overjoyed, cuddling to her heart’s content. The anxiety from her fear of being discovered melted away under this fluffy therapy session…

Snuggling together, both human and cat fell asleep. The little Demon Lord’s first night in the dorms passed in a fuzzy, healing bliss.

“Mmph~” After who knows how long, the little Demon Lord in her little hideaway rubbed her eyes, yawned, and slowly opened them.

“Meow~” Seeing the girl awake, Gulu got up, shook himself, and wriggled out of Eiru’s embrace.

“Don’t run away, let me cuddle with you more~” Sitting up in bed, one hand rubbing her eyes while the other beckoned to Gulu who’d retreated to the foot of the bed.

Finally having a cat that actually liked her, Eiru—who’d always dreamed of playing with a cat—wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away.

Gulu sat at the foot of the bed, head down, licking his paws, completely ignoring the demon lord’s summons. When he looked up, he found that the girl had somehow suddenly appeared right in front of him.

Bracing herself with her hands, human and cat sat at the foot of the bed in nearly identical poses, staring each other down.

After a mutual staring contest, just as the little Demon Lord reached out to hug him, Gulu suddenly spun around and slipped through a gap in the curtains. Leaping down from the bed, the big cat landed squarely on the chair below.

“Wait, don’t run away!” Eiru quickly pulled open the curtain, trying to give chase.

“MRROW!” The cat on the chair suddenly let out a fierce, threatening yowl at Eiru.

Our little Demon Lord, halfway down the ladder, heard the battle cry and scrambled back up to her bed in alarm. Having been chased down two city blocks by cats before, she assumed that Gulu was readying up to tear her face off.

The Demon Lord on the bed slowly poked her head out, sneaking peeks at Gulu grooming himself below. Noticing Eiru’s gaze, Gulu looked up, sending her little head ducking back under cover.

Hugging her knees and curling into a ball, the little Demon Lord finally remembered her fear of getting chased by cats. She’d gotten way too carried away—if even tiny cats could scratch her hard enough that she needed to flee, what chance did she have against this behemoth?

As a guy she might’ve been less intimidated, but now she was a loli… That cat was half her size! If it pounced, she’d be completely overpowered.

“Meow!” The big cat below kept calling up at her while Eiru huddled above, not daring to respond, praying for the beast to wander off and play somewhere else.

After an extended meowing session, happy silence finally returned. After waiting ages without any movement, the little Demon Lord sighed in relief. She’d just lowered her hands and turned around when she came face to face with a pair of emerald green eyes…

“Meow!”

“AAH! Don’t bite me, don’t scratch me!” Her Majesty scrambled to the head of the bed, flailing wildly in the process. Her tail shot up like she’d been electrocuted, standing up straight as a rod.
