Demon King – Chapter 310 – What? The Loli Has to Run a Kilometer?

“Lu Brat, you… are really together with him?” In the dorm, Jiaqi leaned toward the obedient girl sitting at her seat and asked carefully.

“He confessed to me… so we’re trying it out…” The Demon Lord’s cheeks flushed red as she guiltily turned her face away.

“Not to be rude, but you used to be a boy… well, right, now you’re a girl…” Jiaqi stopped mid-sentence as he realized what he’d said, his face turning awkward.

“But I still think you agreed too casually…” Jiaqi scratched his head. “But since it’s your choice, I can only bless you two.”

“Mm~”

“By the way, Lu Brat, what’s this smell in your dorm? It’s sweet, but I can’t tell what it is… not like perfume…” Jiaqi sniffed the air but couldn’t figure it out.

Hearing Jiaqi’s question, the Demon Lord sat with her hands on her thighs looking obedient, but the blush on her cute face had already spread to her neck.

“But Lu Brat, if that guy ever does you wrong, you could still consider me.” Jiaqi squatted to face his childhood friend and pointed at his own face, starting to advertise himself.

“Get lost! She’s my wife!” Yuki, fiercely protective, pinched the cartilage on someone’s shoulder without mercy. Trying to steal my girl? Dream on!

“Wow wow wow, so afraid Lu Brat will be taken away?”

“Of course I’m protecting my wife! You don’t know how amazing she is…”

“But she’s Lu Brat! You’d even take your bro’s friend…”

“But now she’s a little girl! And she’s my wife!”

Jixian and Ziyu sat at their desks expressionless, munching on biscuits as they watched. We can’t compete anyway, so let’s just watch them squabble…

At the center of it all, Eiru was pinching her socks with both hands on her lap. The conversation in front of her was about to make her die of embarrassment on the spot.

“Enough! Stop talking already!” In the end, the girl exploded.

“By the way, this Thursday and Friday is the physical test, and Monday is the monthly exam. What do you guys think?” Jixian looked at the school calendar and asked once things had calmed down.

“Damn it, another thousand-meter run? I’m done…” Ziyu flopped onto his chair. “Can’t they just take this stupid thing out of the physical test?”

“You can run a thousand meters in under four minutes, what are you whining about… I’m at 4:10 and I’m not complaining.” Jixian rolled his eyes. “It’s Yuki who’s awesome, easily under three and a half.”

“By the way, Jiaqi, how fast can you run? Did you have to do this run abroad?” Yuki didn’t answer but asked Jiaqi instead.

“Three and a half at least? I exercised a lot abroad…” Absentmindedly answering, Jiaqi kept studying the calendar stuck to Jixian’s closet.

“Awesome, awesome… all pros, top grades too, I’m jealous.” Ziyu clapped and hooted, and Jixian reacted about the same.

“Are you guys gods? How can you be good at both studies and sports? I’m over four minutes and I’m falling apart…”

While they discussed excitedly, a certain physically weak girl sat quietly, trying to lower her presence. Humans don’t share the same sorrows. I only find them noisy.

You can at least finish the run… but I’m just a loli! I can barely run 800 meters. And you want me to run 1000? Why do I have to run the extra 200?!

Yes, for this girl, every year’s physical test was a nightmare. With a body far weaker than normal, she had to take the boys’ physical test. What else could you call that but a nightmare?

If she could take it in her true form it’d be better, but in her male disguise she couldn’t use magic to enhance her body. In theory she could interfere with cognition to let people see her true form, but with so many people present and the need for physical exertion, combined with the heavy magical load, it was bound to cause an accident.

So every year at the physical test, except for the sit-and-reach, her poor results sheet was stamped with a glaring ‘Fail’ in every category.

“By the way, little princess… her?” With Jixian’s reminder, the four finally turned their attention to the girl.

“Right, Lu Brat, your test results have always been failing, right…”

Isn’t that obvious? How am I supposed to pass? Don’t look at me like that. Try having a girl in class take the boys’ tests. Inwardly grumbling, the Demon Lord grew angrier and more wronged the more she thought about it. Why did she have to suffer such unfair treatment?

“She’s a loli, passing boys’ events would be a miracle…”

“But isn’t she a demon? Theoretically her body should be stronger than humans…”

“Come on, Lu Brat’s weak as hell. Without her tiny bit of magic, any one of us could take twenty of her.”

Hey, Stupid Qi, did you just say I’m weak as hell? Hashtags popped on Eiru’s forehead. I’m right here. If you’re going to insult me to my face, at least lower your voice!

“No, Lu Brat knows several martial arts and her reaction speed is way beyond human. In a straight fight, you might not beat her.”

Hmph, as expected, Stupid Yuki knows how to talk. Hearing her best friend’s praise, the Demon Lord felt a little smug again.

“But she’s weak. Strength beats skill. Even if she maxed her techniques, her stats are too low. Without magic, she can’t scratch me, and one touch from me would finish her.”

Please, don’t say such cruel things right in front of me… The little Demon Lord’s dignity as a macho man was deeply wounded as she buried her head in her arms, already crying inside.

“Anyway, let’s think of a way to help the little princess. You guys don’t want her collapsing on the track, do you?” Jixian, watching the girl, probably guessed her thoughts and offered a suggestion.

“No way, right? She looks weak but if she grits her teeth she should finish these events… at worst she’ll be tired… probably…” Looking at the girl’s thin arms and legs, Ziyu’s voice grew softer until even he didn’t believe himself.

“Emmmm… I think even 800 meters is pushing it for her.”

“Be confident, halve it. 400 meters is pushing it…”

“More confident, I think 200 meters would already cost her half her life…”

That’s going too far! The Demon Lord roared inwardly. Hearing them tease her like this, her heart at this moment was breaking.

Translator Note

Poor Eiru, I can’t imagine being forced to participate in physical tests when her body is literally breaking down…

Other than that, the author has provided us with “wedding dress eiru”! Unfortunately, this is the best quality I can get.
