Demon King – Chapter 315 – The Busy Demon Lord

After school in the afternoon, Eiru slipped away to her part-time job. Following Yuki’s instructions, she did not transform into her male appearance, and only interfered with the perception of those around her using magic.

Since there was evening self-study, most boarding students solved their dinner problem during this short window before evening classes…

Aside from Eiru, the other members of Dorm 1503, including Jiaqi, also had their dinners before evening study and quickly headed to class.

During the first evening session, Yuki was called away by his homeroom teacher. As Jixian had said, he had taken far too many leaves of absences recently. As a student under special cultivation and attention from the school, his absences naturally drew notice from the teachers…

Luckily, Yuki had already rehearsed an excuse with Jixian, and he brushed it off with the reason of being physically unwell. Being a top student and one of the school’s faces, the teacher didn’t question it too much. They only reminded him to take care of his health before letting him go.

“Sigh…” Yuki slumped onto the desk, sighing endlessly, leaving his dear deskmate and roommate speechless.

“What’s wrong, don’t tell me our cover stories didn’t match up and you got caught? Did you get scolded?” Jixian asked while thinking there was no way. He had told Yuki the leave excuse word for word, how could it go wrong?

“Not that, I just miss Lu Brat…” Yuki explained with an embarrassed smile.

“Seriously? She only went to work… You two are practically sharing a bed every night now, and that’s still not enough for you?”

“I can’t help it, right now I don’t want to be apart from her for even a minute… You don’t understand what it’s like to be in love.” Yuki, caught up in his romance, was already showing withdrawal symptoms without his daily Eiruium.

“Tsk, are you showing off? You think I won’t get jealous? Fine, you win, I am jealous.” Jixian put on a disdainful look, but couldn’t keep it up long. That disdain quickly melted into envy.

After all, Eiru’s looks were ridiculously cute, and her personality and way of communicating were perfectly tailored to most guys’ preferences. Even Jixian could see it, and not far away, Jiaqi’s reaction was even more obvious. Hearing their conversation, he was so bitter it was as if his teeth were about to fall out.

“You and Lu Brat actually sleep in the same bed at night?” Jiaqi’s tone was full of resentment. After all, he once had a chance to have the girl share a bed with him too.

Back then it wasn’t just Eiru, but also her younger sister Eiya. They had stayed in the same room for several days, and he had slept on the floor, completely missing his chance with the loli sisters. ¹ MOSHI MOSHI KEISATU DESUKA!????

Jiaqi regretted it bitterly. Only after losing it did he realize how precious it had been. Before, he hadn’t thought much about Eiru, or rather, he had suppressed those thoughts. Now that she had been stolen by Yuki, he finally saw the value of his childhood friend. ² Nyeh nyeh nyeh loser!

During summer vacation, he clearly had plenty of chances to win her over. At the time she was very attached to him, their families had a good relationship, and no one would have objected to their match… He had heaven’s timing, the place, and the people on his side. So why? Was this really the fate of a childhood sweetheart losing to someone who appeared out of nowhere?

“Well… Lu Brat really is clingy.” Yuki laughed awkwardly. Her lack of security due to missing parental affection and her need for warmth due to her cold body temperature had made his little girlfriend incredibly clingy.

“Stop rubbing it in. I want to hug Lu Brat too…” Jiaqi groaned, burying his head into the desk. “She’s my childhood friend, and I’ve barely hugged her at all.”

“Alright Yuki, you stole someone’s childhood friend, don’t keep provoking him…” Jixian patted Yuki’s shoulder. “If you’re going to feed us dog food, at least keep it in moderation, or you’ll choke us all.”

Though he complained, Jixian could tell this couple was considerate of others, and they controlled the amount of affection they showed.

Eiru usually only crawled into Yuki’s bed after Jixian and Ziyu had fallen asleep. And even then, the two only cuddled and slept. If anything else happened, no one in the dorm would get any sleep.

“Sorry, sorry… I’ll be more careful next time…” Yuki pressed his palms together and apologized to the friend who looked ready to bang his head against the desk.

“It’s fine, I was just venting…” Jiaqi waved his hand. “But you, treat Lu Brat well. She’s been through too much pain and hardship, it hurts me just watching her…”

“If you ever make her suffer, I’ll take her back without hesitation. Don’t give me that chance.”

“Of course not…” Yuki said. He adored that girl too much to ever let her suffer.

But more than that, what really worried him was letting this silly girl work alone. Before, it wasn’t a big deal since she was a boy, but now she was a clumsy cute loli. He really hoped nothing would go wrong…

Meanwhile, the very girl they were worrying about was fluttering her wings, busily flying between the counter and the preparation station. Today, her senior Xinyue had taken leave, so from receiving orders to making drinks to packing them up for delivery, every task fell to her alone.

Because it was the evening rush hour, the milk tea shop was nearly at full capacity. With too few staff and delivery orders on top, the poor girl was so busy she wanted to curse.

While interfering with the vision and hearing of everyone around her, she also simultaneously had to calculate every detail of the illusion, making sure no one noticed anything strange.

One moment she was flying to the counter to take new orders, the next she was darting to the station to make new drinks. She was so busy she even started using her tail…

“If they don’t give me a raise today, I’m slacking off next time…” she muttered while making a drink, using her tail to lift the finished cup, seal it on the machine, before moving it back onto the counter.

“You have a new delivery order…” The nightmarish notification sounded again, making Her Majesty the Demon Lord wail and work even faster.

“Hey bro, get me a half-sugar, less ice, signature milk cap tea…” A new customer called out his order.

“Okay! Okay!” she shouted, rushing back to the counter to operate the machines. Even with an extra tail, it wasn’t enough. Right now, the Demon Lord wished she had eight arms.

“Why am I this busy? Damn it!”
