Demon King – Chapter 302 – The Macho Man Didn’t Want to Title This

After feeding his little girlfriend breakfast in the cafeteria, Yuki held her hand and walked to the floor where his class was located.

“You’re heading to the rooftop, right?” At the stairwell, Yuki asked as he noticed Eiru letting go of his hand to continue upward.

Tch, what a dumb question. Where else would she go but the rooftop… Yuki smacked his head, annoyed with himself for asking just to keep talking.

“Yeah, I told you before, sunbathing is my main source of magic power.”

Since their confrontation that day, Yuki often asked about her body out of concern. So he had some idea about her current condition.

Of course, for her own reasons, the little Demon Lord hid the truth of her body’s degeneration. Maybe she didn’t want him to worry, or maybe she just found it troublesome.

“If your magic runs out, will you collapse like last time?” Yuki recalled the day he first brought her female self home, when she suddenly fell asleep on the roadside. She later explained that it was some kind of rest state.

“Yeah… so I try to avoid it.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord stroked her chin thoughtfully. “But I guess it doesn’t matter now. Worst case, I just fall asleep in your arms~”

“Don’t joke. Take care of your body. Get going.” Yuki hadn’t forgotten how she vomited blood the next morning. That sight was something he never wanted her to experience again.

“Alright, enough talk, I’m off.” The little Demon Lord stuck out her tongue. “If you miss me, bring me something tasty after class~ Bye bye~”

“Mm, bye…” Waving, Yuki couldn’t help but smile as he watched her raise her hands and dash upstairs.

“Woohoo~ I hardly got any sun last week, my magic’s running low…” Arriving at her familiar rooftop, Her Majesty the Demon Lord brushed off a spot and plopped down.

“Since I’m in a relationship now, I can’t just keel over so quickly…” She patted her cheeks. “No more slacking. I’ll stay stable for a while so I can spend more time with him…”

Eiru didn’t believe Yuki could find a way to save her. Deep down, she had already sentenced herself to death. So she hid her condition to keep him from worrying over useless things and burdening his life. ¹ You idiot, he has so many resources to use to help you look for the dumb amber crystals smh

“Am I his first love? Then I need to leave him with beautiful memories…” Hugging her curled tail, Her Majesty whispered to herself.

She regretted it a little. Not that she had agreed rashly, but that she hadn’t considered her condition. By the time she realized, they were already officially a couple.

Now she was conflicted. With only a few years left, she couldn’t stay with him for the long run. Didn’t that make her irresponsible?

“Meh… no point worrying. What’s done is done.” The ever-optimistic little Demon Lord quickly made up her mind.

Since she had agreed, she would take responsibility before her end came. She would let him experience the beauty of love and leave him with memories. Especially since she was his first love.

That way, when she left, the memories would cushion the pain. He wouldn’t be too heartbroken or scarred. With his qualities, he would definitely find a good girl later. ² Yuki, your wife is trying to run again.

“Think of it as practice for him. With me as experience, he won’t be clueless with someone else later… but actually, he’s already pretty good at taking care of people.”

No, no… The little Demon Lord shook her head, tossing away unnecessary extra thoughts. Later was later. Right now she was his girlfriend, and she needed to take her role seriously and respond to his feelings properly.

Love was about mutual effort. Since he had given her his affection and cared for her, she had to do something in return.

“But what can I even do for him… it feels like he doesn’t need me at all?” Thinking this, Her Majesty sank into gloom again. He was too perfect. She felt useless.

“In the end, maybe the only thing I can offer is letting him use my body for practice…”

“Yuki, you’re in a good mood. Getting a girlfriend really changes a guy.” Jixian teased, noticing his deskmate’s irrepressible smile.

“What? Yuki got a girlfriend?” Before Yuki could answer, Qianchen in the front turned around, her eyes burning with desire for gossip.

Her dear sister Su Qianmeng might not have reacted so dramatically, but the way she kept turning her head showed she was just as curious.

“Uh… damn you for talking so much.” Yuki froze for a second, then smacked Jixian’s shoulder.

“My bad, Yuki. I’ll watch out next time…”

“So you really have a girlfriend? Who is it?” Qianchen leaned over her desk, practically climbing onto it. If not for Jixian holding her back, her excitement might have flipped the desk. Girls gossiping really was terrifying…

“Remember that little princess—cough, I mean that silver-haired girl we saw at Eiru’s birthday?”

“Yeah? Super cute… wait, don’t tell me it’s her? She’s just a kid!” Thinking of the adorable girl, Qianchen’s eyes filled with suspicion and disdain.

“She’s in middle school, right? How could you…”

“No, she’s in high school. Sixteen. She goes to our school.” Yuki didn’t want the label of creep, so he explained, exasperated.

“Her? Sixteen? A high schooler? Here?” Qianchen looked baffled. Even Su Qianmeng didn’t look convinced.

“You didn’t see that viral video last term? Someone filmed a silver-haired girl in the cafeteria getting food…”

“Eh? That was her? No wonder she looked familiar… She’s really from our school? Which class?” With Jixian’s reminder, the sisters recalled.

Of course, the two had seen that widely spread video from Seventh High. They just hadn’t thought much about it. Now with this reminder, they finally connected the dots.

Translator Note

Well, to be fair, Yuki really does look like a criminal with how Eiru looks…
