Demon King – Chapter 347 – Yuki Came Rushing In

“Open the door! Lu Brat! I know you’re in there!” Just as she was about to lean toward the peephole in confusion, that familiar voice from outside scared the little girl so much she staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Stupid, stupid… Stupid Yuki? Wasn’t he supposed to be busy at home over the weekend? Why was he suddenly here in the middle of the night? And without saying anything beforehand… Thinking maybe something urgent had happened, the Demon Lord quickly opened the door.

“What are you…” Eiru opened the door, but before she could even finish the question, Yuki suddenly lunged forward, grabbed her shoulders, and began checking her up and down.

“What are you doing? What the hell is this? At least close the door, if someone sees us like this…”

With a bang Yuki slammed the door shut, grabbed the little girl, and tossed her onto the sofa. Holding her down, his attitude flipped completely from usual as he began running his hands all over her.

“What the hell are you doing! Not saying a word, what’s going on with you!” Her Majesty the Demon Lord was a bit frightened by his behavior, clutching herself and scooting to the side.

Big-hearted as she was, even if she couldn’t pick up on someone flirting with her, this kind of blatant thug-like behavior, especially knowing clearly he liked her… if she still stayed completely unbothered, she might as well be chained up at home.

“Did he do anything to you? You didn’t agree to anything, right? Nothing happened, right?” Yuki’s face was full of panic… he had only let her out for one afternoon and she’d really delivered him a giant scare.

Just as Yuki was considering whether to drag this girl back home and tie her to his side, our little Demon Lord finally snapped out of it and smacked him on the head with her little fists.

“How could that happen! I’m not that shameless! Do you think I’m an idiot?”

“With how well I know you, when it comes to this stuff you really are an idiot…” Yuki’s worried expression didn’t fade, looking like a nagging old woman.

“Hey! I know I’m slow sometimes but I’m not stupid!” Not happy at being insulted, the Demon Lord let out a protest.

“Alright, enough talk… tell me everything that happened today from start to finish. Don’t leave out a single detail.” Yuki stared seriously at the girl in front of him. His beloved little girlfriend often didn’t even notice when people took advantage of her, who knew if she’d gotten herself into trouble this time.

“Can’t I not say it?” Eiru turned her head, looking a little guilty. After all, she’d wanted the gift to be a surprise… blurting it out like this felt really embarrassing.

“No! You have to tell me every single detail, no skipping anything! This is important!” Seeing her hesitant attitude, Yuki panicked—had something really happened that this girl was afraid of telling him about?

“Don’t worry, no matter what happened I won’t throw you away… I promise. So just say it, I can take it.”

“Huh?” The little Demon Lord blinked. She felt like he had completely misunderstood something, but for the moment she couldn’t figure out what.

“Then if I tell you… you won’t yell at me?”

“Yeah, go on…” Yuki swallowed hard, already bracing himself for the worst.

“So… that’s how it went, I don’t think I left anything out.” Tilting her head, finger tapping her chin, the little Demon Lord struck a cute pose, indicating that was everything she could remember.

Yuki finally let out a breath of relief. At least things hadn’t reached the worst case… good thing he’d warned her in advance, or this stupid girl might have walked right into a trap.

“As for gifts or whatever, just having you is enough for me… you don’t need to go through all that.” Stroking his little girlfriend’s head, Yuki was honestly touched by her intentions.

“I was going to give you a surprise, but I’m broke…” she muttered, turning her head away, her tone full of grievance.

“If you’re short on money, just come to me. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely don’t listen to other people’s nonsense… got it?”

“Oh~” Her Majesty the Demon Lord responded half-heartedly, only to have her head get whacked.

“Ow! Why are you hitting me!” The little Demon Lord held her head, glaring fiercely at Yuki, baring her teeth like a tiny ferocious kitten.

“Hitting you because you left something out.” Amused by her look, Yuki reached out and pinched her little nose.

“I didn’t! I told you everything!”

“Yeah right, I bet you definitely had a thought like ‘maybe what he’s saying makes sense’, didn’t you?” Yuki sighed helplessly, as if seeing straight through her.

“I guess… I kind of did?” The Demon Lord hugged her head, recalling that moment when she’d been totally confused by the guy’s words and really had thought something like that.

“All that ‘accumulating experience to give you a better first time’ crap might sound nice but I think it’s just…”

“It’s fucking bullshit!” Yuki for once actually swore. “You think any man would be happy knowing his girlfriend did that kind of thing with someone else?”

“That’s why I didn’t agree… I still wanted my first time to be with you…” The Demon Lord looked aggrieved. “I just said it sounded reasonable, I never said I’d go along with it.”

“Thinking it’s reasonable is already a huge problem!” Yuki held his head. He was really at his wits’ end with this girl—how did her family even raise her? Not a shred of common sense… oh right, her family never taught her, that explains it.

“Then should I just let you do me first? That way you won’t have to worry about the first time…” The Demon Lord let out a terrifyingly offhand remark, making several metaphorical pound signs pop up on Yuki’s forehead.

“I know you’re trying to be good for me, but listen carefully… this is absolutely not something I will allow.” Yuki spoke earnestly to the girl in front of him. “You belong to me, I won’t let anyone else touch you.” ¹ Man, I wish my gf would-

“Eiru, not just the first time, every time is mine… all the problems and experiences, we’ll explore and solve them together. So stop thinking about all that messy stuff, alright?”

“Huh? Oh… okay.” Eiru clutched her horns and nodded softly… she still didn’t completely get it, but at least she understood his attitude about this kind of thing.

“Remember, this kind of thing should only happen with someone you love. So… I’m still working hard to make you fall in love with me.” Yuki smiled and rubbed the girl’s hair. “So until that day comes, you’ll protect yourself, right? You promised me.”

“Mm~”

Hearing her response, Yuki showed a satisfied smile. Maybe because of childhood regrets combined with her current condition, his little girlfriend’s mind and habits had become quite childlike.

In truth adulthood was just a facade. What Yuki sought was an equal love, everything built on mutual trust, respect, and understanding.

So he could only wait for this girl’s mind to mature in that regard, to understand the meaning of all this… only then, if she still willingly crossed that line, would it truly be worth it.
