Demon King – Chapter 32 – Cat Cuddling Is Pure Bliss

Translator Note

Sorry, no extra chapter today.

“Whew, that was close…” She said with one hand on her hip, and the other wiping away nonexistent sweat from her brow. The Demon Lord stood at the edge of the rooftop, bending over and peering down below.

Turning around, she surveyed the rows of solar panels covering the roof—probably for the dorm’s hot water system… Anyways, our little Demon Lord was about to join their ranks.

She picked a spot with decent sunlight and laid down, shifting slightly to keep her head in the shade so that the sun wouldn’t irritate her eyes.

“Nothing beats sunbathing~” The little Demon Lord said contentedly as sunlight warmed her body, converting solar power into mana, slowly filling up her reserves. The sensation of her mana replenishing was incredibly soothing…

“Meow!” A familiar cry suddenly rang out. The Demon Lord opened her eyes and looked towards the sound, finding Gulu lounging nearby, casually grooming his paws…

Hold on—this was the rooftop, technically the 20th floor. Had this guy actually climbed up five stories by jumping between the AC units?

She stared at the large cat in amazement, unable to fathom how something that size could get so high up without causing any commotion.

Gulu showed no intention of approaching Eiru, happy to remain in the shade, lying there obediently.

“Looking at him like this, he’s actually pretty good looking…” With his sleek long fur and striking features, he resembled a miniature lion. Gulu really did have the aura of a feline gentleman.

After watching for a while, the little Demon Lord rolled over onto her stomach and started playing with her phone. Chatting with her online friends, Her Majesty’s tail curved behind her, swaying in accordance to her mood…

Suddenly she felt something fluffy beside her. Glancing over, she found Gulu somehow much closer, settling quietly at her side.

“Good boy~” While scrolling through her phone, she occasionally petted the big cat with her head. In return, Gulu would nuzzle the girl back…

Human and cat lay there together, with Gulu’s long fur occasionally tickling Eiru’s arms and neck, making the girl burst out laughing.

“By the way, why are you so clingy?” Putting away her phone and rolling over, the little Demon Lord lying on the ground turned her head to look at the big cat beside her.

Seeing the girl flip over, Gulu suddenly stood up and climbed on top of Eiru, settling on her chest like he was being affectionate.

“Hmm?” Just as she was about to reach out and pet him, Eiru raised her hands, but Gulu placed his front paws on the girl’s small hands like they were high-fiving.

She happily laughed, with the little Demon Lord grabbing the big cat’s front paws and playing with them. Usually just sunbathing was somewhat boring, but being with Gulu made it pretty fun.

One loli and one cat played with each other on the rooftop. She’d long forgotten to ask why Gulu was so attached to her… Who cares anyways? At least she could cuddle with a cat.

The answer was actually pretty simple… After her transformation, the little Demon Lord’s constitution had changed. Unlike her previous nature that repelled small animals, she now had the type of aura that attracted and made them adore her.

Due to her past trauma, Eiru never actually tried to approach small animals during her two years as a loli. Naturally, she had no idea that her current self would actually be quite popular with them.

And Gulu was a Maine Coon—a breed naturally affectionate toward humans. The moment the cat laid eyes on the Demon Lord, he’d taken a liking to her, instinctively wanting to cozy up to her…

Sitting up high, the tired little Demon Lord cradled Gulu in her arms, sunbathing while appreciating the scenery.

Though the city view wasn’t particularly good, when you’re bored, looking out the window isn’t really about admiring the landscape. That sense of seeing everything laid out before you brings an indescribable feeling of tranquility.

A distant gunshot shattered the peace. Eiru frowned—Even if it wasn’t that loud, seemingly coming from far away, the little Demon Lord still could recognize that it was a gunshot.

“What the hell? Has the East District really gotten this chaotic…”

While the East District, being the old part of town, had worse security than the other areas, it was usually limited to petty theft. Even when small-time thugs and robbers acted up, they chose secluded alleys and places with few people.

After all, ordinary citizens weren’t allowed to carry guns. In a country where firearms were banned, getting a hold of a weapon was difficult enough… but firing one out in the open? That was basically asking to be served a prison sentence.

Looking in the direction of the sound after enhancing her vision with magic, Eiru spotted two armed robbers desperately sprinting down a street outside the school grounds. Behind them, several police officers were in hot pursuit.

“Uncle Li?” Among those officers, the little Demon Lord recognized a familiar figure. Turning her attention to the two being chased, the Demon Lord suddenly realized that one of the gunmen looked familiar too…

Searching through her memory, Eiru recalled the faces she’d seen outside her window the night before she was kidnapped…

“Gulu, get down for a sec…” She gently placed the cat from her arms onto the ground beside her, giving him a reassuring pat before standing up.

Standing atop the highest point of the dormitory building, the Demon Lord closed one eye, raised one hand horizontally, made a finger gun, and aimed at the two fleeing figures…

“As long as no one notices, it should be fine. I’ve got enough mana anyway… Consider it as returning a favor.”

Muttering to herself, as her words faded, the little Demon Lord began glowing a faint blue. Flowing into her arm, small complex magic circles began forming around the girl’s fingers…
