Demon King – Chapter 323 – Yuki’s Daily Worries

“Phew… Stupid Yuki went to class again…” During the afternoon class period, a certain girl wrapped herself up in a blanket, puffing her cheeks and grumbling…

“But he has his own life too, I can’t expect him to always stay with me…” Bundled into a lollito on the not-so-big bed, the little Demon Lord began rolling back and forth.

“Am I too clingy with him? I’m a macho man, why do I want him to stay with me?!” After several rolls back and forth, Her Majesty the Demon Lord realized something wasn’t right.

“Get up! Go out and play! I’m an independent, self-sufficient, modern good loli! I don’t need anyone to stay with me!”

Muttering nonsensical words, Eiru jumped up from the bed. She spread her wings and hopped down before going to her wardrobe to pick out some clothes for her outing…

In the end, the little Demon Lord put on a sky-blue plaid suspender dress with a white inner lining. Since the skirt reached past her knees, she paired it with a soft marshmallow petticoat for ease of movement and appearance… This everyday-style Lolita dress was a gift from her beloved younger sister, and today was her first time wearing it.

Sitting on a chair, she pulled on a pair of opaque white tights. Honestly, Eiru usually preferred dark colors like black, but with this outfit, white looked better.

Because of her wings, tail, and the horns on her head, darker shades like black or blue suited her more. Maybe she just disliked how childish white stockings looked on her?

For once, she tied her hair into cute twin-tails. With a pair of light blue round-toed shoes, she spun once in front of the mirror. Right now, she looked like a little princess from a fairy tale: sunny, cute, and full of energy…

Satisfied with the girl in the mirror, Her Majesty the Demon Lord turned and headed for the balcony. After all, she was a Demon Lord. How could someone who could fly walk out the door like an ordinary person? That would be too lame!

“Yuki, these days you keep staring at your phone after class… what are you looking at?” During break, Jixian patted his deskmate’s shoulder. Seventh High was strict about phone use. Normally Yuki would never pull his phone out except in the dorm, unless there was something important.

And by important, it almost always meant a message from his best friend. Even before he knew Eiru’s true identity, she had already been his special contact in his phone.

So whenever Eiru had something to ask her best friend, Yuki always replied within two minutes. After all, his phone would only vibrate even under Do Not Disturb when it was from her.

“Nothing much, just some things I’ve been concerned about…” Closing the webpage, Yuki tucked his phone back into his bag.

Regarding Eiru’s body, Yuki had already asked his father to use his connections to gather information about a certain suspicious stone. After all, he was just an ordinary student with limited abilities. For this, he had to rely on adults.

Even so, he couldn’t just do nothing. Whenever he had time outside of being with his little girlfriend, he searched online or asked friends for information.

Though he really wanted to buy a train ticket and run straight to where the Amber Crystal disappeared to investigate, he had promised his girlfriend that he wouldn’t let her problems interfere with his normal life…

And since she relied on him so much lately, he couldn’t risk her being hurt in the slightest. Their relationship had only just started. Leaving his girlfriend behind for this? What kind of boyfriend would that make him?

Theoretically, this unscientific stuff should be investigated by the girl herself, since she was the expert. But Yuki couldn’t bear to let her do it.

He knew his stupid best friend too well. She only worked reliably when it was someone else’s business, when she had to carry the expectations of others. When it came to her own issues, she always messed up.

And the more he understood her, the less peace of mind he had. With her brain short-circuiting so often, who knew what else she might pull?

So for now, all he could do was put aside those thoughts. Day to day, he just had to focus on taking care of his girlfriend, and only when he had spare time would he gather information and sort things out.

“Still thinking about the little princess?” Seeing Yuki spaced out, Jixian didn’t even need to think hard to know what he was brooding over judging from his behavior lately.

“Yeah… I miss her…” Yuki admitted openly. It wasn’t something to be ashamed of. “I really can’t bear to be away from her for even a single moment…”

“Pfft, if you miss her so much, why not just bring her here? She sticks to you anyway. If you two keep each other company, wouldn’t that solve everything? Besides, doesn’t she have that power to disguise herself?”

“Her body can’t handle it. Using that ability carries risks and costs…” Yuki sighed, giving a brief explanation. “So I don’t dare let her use it. It’s better she stays obediently in the dorm.”

“Keeping her locked in the dorm all the time, aren’t you worried? If you’re that concerned, keeping her by your side is safer. Besides, she’s a girl, and at her age she’s lively and playful. Shutting her inside all day can’t be good.”

“Don’t act like you’re that much older than her. She’s already sixteen…” Yuki slapped Jixian’s back. “Clumsy as she is, don’t treat her like a little kid.”

“Anyway, what trouble could she get into in the dorm? If she’s bored, she has Gulu to keep her company… unless he’s already wandered off? That girl’s always got a mess of problems, and trouble just seems to find her. I swear, if she leaves the dorm, something will happen.”

“And you don’t even know, if I hadn’t gone looking for her yesterday… She nearly got tricked away by some creep because her brain short-circuited. Thinking about it still makes me shiver…”

Tiredly, Yuki told his deskmate about what had happened last night. But what he didn’t know was that his little girlfriend, whom he worried about so much, hadn’t listened to him at all. She had already slipped out of the dorm, off who knows where having fun…

Translator Note

Yuki is completely lovesick for Eiru LOL
