Demon King – Chapter 318 – The Demon Lord’s Dumbed Down Mode

In the end, they didn’t want to blow things out of proportion, so the two of them only planned to give him a little warning, just enough for him to remember.

The little Demon Lord grinned as she grabbed the guy’s hand, dislocating his bones and joints piece by piece before resetting them again…

It had to be said, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was really getting experienced at bone setting… repeating it over and over, bringing the guy excruciating pain without leaving any real damage.

Aside from Yuki’s initial punch and Eiru’s kick to his stomach, after all that torment, Lei Wu’s body actually didn’t suffer any meaningful harm. Even if he was taken for a checkup, they wouldn’t find anything.

That way, even if this bastard wanted to hold them accountable, he wouldn’t have anything on them. You say I hit you, got proof? Not a single injury, what a joke.

After the two of them gave their warnings, they let him go. The disgraced senior grabbed his stuff and fled in a sorry state.

“Ah, that felt good… been a long time since I vented like that.” Eiru stretched lazily, but just as she was about to turn away, Yuki pressed her shoulder down from behind.

“W…what is it?” She turned her head and saw Yuki’s face, smiling kindly. Overwhelmed by his aura, she couldn’t help but shrink back…

“That guy’s been driven off, he probably won’t dare bother me again. So…”

“Yeah, his problem is solved…” Yuki turned his little girlfriend around to face him.

“Now we need to solve… your problem.”

“M…my problem? What about me?” Yuki rarely wore such an expression, so the little Demon Lord was already feeling intimidated.

“Why didn’t you just go back to the dorm? What were you doing out here?”

“Because I didn’t eat… ah! My deluxe beef sandwich!” She tried to explain, but once she saw her dinner lying on the ground, ruined, she instantly panicked.

“I spent over thirty yuan on that… my dinner…” She was on the verge of tears. For someone already not well-off, this was adding insult to injury.

“Forget that for now. Why didn’t you go back to the dorm? You could’ve eaten there. Before you left, what did I tell you? Pay attention to your own safety, remember? Did you just forget all of it?” Yuki wasn’t in the mood to joke with her now. He had to properly teach this stupid girl a lesson so she would remember.

“If I hadn’t felt uneasy today and happened to come find you… do you realize what could have happened?”

“You’re so fierce…” Eiru pouted. “Besides, he couldn’t beat me, so what could he do?”

“Oh?” Yuki raised his brows. “That brings us to the second problem… why didn’t you fight back just now?”

Yuki’s eyes were sharp. On the way over, he clearly noticed that at first, facing the harassment and groping, his little girlfriend was ready to resist. But after the guy said something, she suddenly froze up, forgetting to even resist. Luckily he arrived in time, otherwise who knew what might have happened.

“I… he’s in third-year honor class, I was afraid of causing trouble…” Her voice grew smaller. “You know, I’m in problem class… if they pin something on me and expel me…”

“So what? You got scared? When your personal safety is at risk, the first thing you think about is the consequences of fighting back?” Yuki’s temper flared. That was nothing like Eiru’s usual style. After becoming a girl, had she actually gotten dumber?

“And did you forget? The school records don’t even have your real identity, right? No matter how you fight back, even if you half kill him, no one can trace it back to you.” Yuki pointed out the flaw in her thinking. She was practically a ghost student, what was she afraid of?

“Eh? I forgot…” The Demon Lord smacked her head, looking like she couldn’t believe she hadn’t thought of that. Yuki could only sigh.

“Did becoming a loli really make you stupid? You used to be so sharp… just now you even thought of snapping his fingers and resetting them, that’s not dumb at all.”

“I just… overused my brain today… I really couldn’t think straight.” She held her head, still feeling dizzy.

After all, she had interfered with the sight and hearing of dozens, maybe hundreds of customers, building illusions in their minds while also altering the surveillance footage in the shop…

Illusion-type powers weren’t easy. Like doing 3D modeling, every angle and detail had to be seamless.

And on top of that, she was handling orders, making all kinds of drinks, and at the same time burning through magic to suppress her organ failure. After hours of that, the fact she didn’t crash on the spot was already impressive.

So Yuki wasn’t wrong. His little girlfriend, after relaxing from that workload, really was in a dumbed-down state… and quite a lot at that.

After hearing her explanation, Yuki hugged her tight, heart aching. She was carrying so much, and he couldn’t share any of it. As a boyfriend, wasn’t he just useless?

“Don’t work part-time anymore, okay? I’m really afraid something will happen to you. You’re my most precious treasure right now. I don’t want even the smallest accident to happen to you.”

“If I don’t work, I’ll starve… don’t make things harder for me, okay?” She rolled her eyes. “But I could go in my male body instead…”

“No. You said you can’t use magic in that form. What if you can’t suppress the organ failure then?” He rejected it immediately.

“My demonic self-healing is back. As long as I’m not overworked or gravely injured…”

“No. I won’t allow even the tiniest risk. I’ll crush all danger in the cradle.”

“You’re so unreasonable! This won’t work, that won’t work, then what am I supposed to do?” She smacked his shoulder in frustration. He was making things really difficult for her.

“It’s because it’s for you! On this, I have to be unreasonable!” Yuki didn’t back down. When it came to his partner’s safety, he couldn’t afford to take chances.

“Fine then. From now on, when you work… I’ll come with you. At the very least, I’ll personally take you there and bring you back. After work, you can just rest on me like this.” He carried her in his arms, letting her little head rest against his chest.

He also felt guilty. He had scolded her without understanding the situation, and he didn’t even know how to help her.

“What about night study…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it… evening study is nothing compared to you.” He kissed her gently on the forehead as he spoke.

“By the way, can you still use illusions? Just fool the guards. I’ll take you out for steak…” Yuki hadn’t forgotten she skipped dinner. Consider it compensation. He’d treat her to something good.

“Really?!”

“Yeah. So, shall we?”

“Yes!”

Translator Note

Good guy Yuki. Maybe even I’d consider straightening out for a guy like him :chiiunderstand:
