Demon King – Chapter 304 – Big Recess Time

The second break in the morning at Seventh High is a big recess. During this twenty-minute rest period, most students choose to lie down on their desks to catch up on sleep.

But Yuki clearly wasn’t part of that group. Rather than sleep, he wanted to go up to the rooftop to keep his little girlfriend company and see what she was doing…

“Hey Yuki bro, are you really planning to praise Yue Yue in front of the little princess?” Jixian yawned. Clearly, he also planned to nap a bit like the Su sisters already lying on their desks to get through the later classes.

“Don’t be stupid. Is there any girl in the world better than Lu Brat?” Yuki rolled his eyes at him. “I’m going to find Lu Brat. You stay here and take a nap.”

“Alright alright, go spread your dog food already…” Jixian waved his hand and lay down on his desk, closing his eyes.

Taking out the snacks and drinks he’d bought from the school store during the last break, Yuki put them into a small plastic bag before picking it up and leaving the classroom…

“My cute little Lu Brat?” With a heart full of anticipation, Yuki knocked on the rooftop stairwell door, gently pushed it open, and began searching for a certain cute girl’s figure…

Going by that girl’s usual habit, she’d normally be sitting on the edge of the rooftop relying on her ability to fly… with that in mind, Yuki first scanned along the rooftop edge, but didn’t see the familiar figure.

Weird? She’s actually learned to behave and not sit on the rooftop edge? Yuki was puzzled and began strolling across the rooftop with the bag in hand…

“Lu Brat… where are you?” After going around the stairwell to the other side of the rooftop, Yuki spotted a small figure curled up in the corner of the railing.

“Pfft, silly girl, what are you doing sleeping here…” Yuki laughed as he hurried over, but then noticed something wrong with her condition. The words caught in his throat mid-sentence.

The silver-haired girl wasn’t resting with her eyes closed as he’d thought. She was sitting curled up with her knees hugged to her chest in the corner. The normally lively sapphire eyes had lost their light, staring straight ahead like a pool of stagnant water.

“Lu Brat! What’s wrong with you?!” Shocked by her state, Yuki tossed aside what he was carrying and rushed forward to scoop her up.

Holding her, Yuki noticed even more that something was wrong—Eiru’s breathing was very rapid yet also abnormally shallow, completely unlike her normal condition.

Noticing who was holding her, the girl raised her head slightly to look at him. Her lips moved a little as if to speak but no sound came out… she didn’t even have the strength to make a sound now.

“I’ll take you to a doctor, hang in there! It’ll be okay! It’ll definitely be okay!” Yuki was really terrified, holding her as he ran toward the stairwell. In his panic he didn’t notice the girl frowning at his words.

“Don’t…” Just as they were about to reach the stairwell door, the little Demon Lord used all her strength to finally squeeze out one word from her throat.

“Hm? Lu Brat, how are you? Are you okay?” Hearing her voice, Yuki quickly stopped and checked her condition.

“You… want me… to die? Still… taking… me to the… doctor…” A weak voice came from her throat. If not for the internal pain and overall weakness, Eiru would have jumped up and hit him.

That reminded Yuki that his little girlfriend wasn’t human. If he impulsively took her to the school infirmary he might ruin her future life.

“Sorry, I acted on impulse… how are you feeling now?” From the fact she could make a sound, Yuki felt she seemed a tiny bit better, so he stopped to check her situation before deciding what to do.

“Okay… just… body weak. Rest… a while will be fine…” At this moment Her Majesty the Demon Lord was so weak that even a single syllable took all her strength to produce.

“Don’t talk anymore. You’ll rest here right?” Seeing how strained and difficult her speech was, Yuki quickly sat down with Eiru in his arms, letting her lean on him to rest.

“Go… to… class…”

“Don’t talk. I’m not going to class. You’re more important… and class just ended anyway.” Yuki quickly put a finger to her lips. “Rest and recover well. Later you have to explain clearly about your condition.”

“I… no…” The little demon lord showed an unhappy expression but was immediately interrupted again by Yuki.

“You can be willful about anything else, but not this… this kind of health issue you must explain to me properly.” Yuki’s expression was so serious it was scary. If not for her being sick, he would have knocked her on the head to make her remember it.

“Ugh…”

“Alright don’t speak anymore, just rest in my arms for a while…” As he hugged Eiru tightly, he couldn’t hide his heartache and tenderness beneath his serious expression, and it completely spilled out.

“You’re my girlfriend, my life’s greatest love… you absolutely can’t have even the slightest accident, understand? You’re supposed to be with me for life…”

I’m just a first love okay! And we’re only trying things out, don’t just directly decide the rest of my life like that! I only responded to your feelings! Listening to his heartfelt confession that was giving her a headache, the little Demon Lord screamed inwardly…

First, she wasn’t human. Second, she used to be a boy. Add on that she didn’t have much time left… she wasn’t suitable or able to walk the whole way with him!

Besides, the beauty of first love lay in the nostalgia brought on by regret… very few first loves in this world actually go to the end. Wasn’t this stupid Yuki getting carried away!

Yuki of course didn’t know what the girl in his arms who couldn’t make a sound was thinking. If he did, he might really grab her and spank her bottom…

I only love you, stop with the twisted logic… you stole my heart and still want to run. As the one who loves you most, I won’t allow you to become that kind of heartless girl—he’d probably lecture his disobedient, silly, adorable lover like that…

He’s completely gone overboard… thinking this, Eiru became even more determined not to let him know her true physical condition. She knew very well how stubborn her best friend was.

If he found out… forget that they were a couple, even as best friends he’d give up on his studies and life to run all over the place trying to solve a hopeless problem…

No, absolutely not. He can’t know… she herself dying was one thing, but ruining someone else’s life, especially her best friend’s… what kind of thing would that be? And so the little Demon Lord secretly made up her mind.

Eiru, when can you please learn to rely on other people… You can be happy too…
