Demon King – Chapter 365 – Ill Intentioned Individuals

“Huh? There’s a little cutie here… coming out dressed like this in the middle of the night, how about coming to play with your big brothers?” A sudden voice rang out. The little Demon Lord turned her head and noticed a few people dressed like punks lurking in the shadows of the alley.

They were holding beer bottles in their hands, reeking of alcohol all over. But judging from their relatively steady walking, these punks probably weren’t completely drunk and still retained a fair amount of awareness.

“Yo, this is way too pretty. Top tier goods… though a bit small.”

“So what if she’s small. A white haired loli this high quality… and I’ve never tasted something this tender before. How about having a fresh try today?”

The group spewed all kinds of filthy words at the girl in front of them. Perhaps because it was late at night, or because of the alcohol, they didn’t notice that she was floating in midair, nor did they notice the wings and tail behind her.

“Tsk…” The moment she noticed other people nearby, Eiru had already reduced the amplitude of her wing movements to avoid them noticing anything unusual about her body.

Without saying a word, she watched their movements closely to prevent them from suddenly lunging forward. At the same time, Her Majesty the Demon Lord subconsciously checked several points of magical energy circulation in her body, just in case the glowing functions suddenly activated again and startled people.

The protruding spikes on her wings, the patterns on the wing membranes, and the spikes on the ring… these parts of Eiru’s body that made her vaguely resemble a crystal chandelier not only had a protective coloration function that changed color according to ambient light, but also possessed the ability to emit light through magical energy.

Though it was called protective coloration, in reality it only shifted within the blue purple range. There was no way it could turn bright red or anything like that. The horns on her head, the tip of her tail, and the ring itself also had this kind of pseudo camouflage, but they didn’t glow.

“Little cutie, come have a drink and play with your big brothers. We guarantee you’ll feel amazing.”

“What kind of third rate pickup line is that…” The little Demon Lord held her head with one hand, genuinely feeling a headache. Normally, punks like this would be one punch each for her… but these guys reeked of alcohol. She really didn’t want to touch them.

“Don’t say it like that. Come play with your big brothers. We guarantee we’ll give you a wonderful experience.” The leading punk burped. With lewd smiles on their faces, the group stepped toward Eiru one by one.

“Tsk, can’t be helped. I promised Stupid Yuki I’d protect myself…” Disgust was written all over her face. The little Demon Lord smacked her lips, placed both hands behind her back, and flexed her finger joints a few times.

“Wait? Doesn’t she look kind of familiar?” After getting closer, one of the punks showed a surprised expression, as if he had recognized the loli in front of him.

“Familiar my ass. Pin her down first. Anyone dressed like this in the middle of the night definitely isn’t anything good.”

“Wait no, she looks like—!”

Although he realized something was wrong, it was already too late, because the brothers beside him had already lunged at the girl with lewd grins.

“Alright alright, don’t panic. Your sister can protect herself. Don’t forget how good she is at fighting.” Inside the room, Yuki sat by the bed, soothing a different certain silver haired girl’s emotions.

“And Brat Lu promised me she’d protect herself. She always keeps her promises. I also taught her some ways to tell whether people have ulterior motives.”

Even though he said that out loud, Yuki was actually panicking like crazy inside, not much better than Eiya at all. But as a grown man, he couldn’t show it. If the girl in front of him freaked out again, the situation would really spiral out of control.

Fortunately, what he had just said wasn’t wrong. Eiru really did have the ability to protect herself. In most situations, no one could really do anything to her.

Still, sneaking out without a word and even deliberately disguising her tracks… fine then, Brat Lu, you really went too far this time. When you come back, I have to give your butt a good spanking.

Even after calming down a bit and realizing things weren’t as serious as he initially imagined, Yuki still decided on a punishment for his girlfriend. Being cheeky comes at a cost, Brat Lu.

“She won’t not come back, right?” Eiya hugged her head and asked timidly. “The Eastern District is really chaotic. Running around outside in the middle of the night… what if she gets captured by some organization for research?”

“Alright, stop imagining things so wildly.” Yuki couldn’t help laughing at the girl’s imagination. “You’ve been watching too many novels and movies. Where would some mysterious research organization even come from?”

Thinking about it carefully, Eiya was a second year middle school girl after all, right at the chuunibyou age. Having a vivid imagination was understandable. And even if there really were some research organization, judging by Eiru’s combat ability, they’d probably just be a bunch of people delivering themselves to their deaths.

“And don’t worry. Your sister will definitely come back. This is her only place to stay. She can’t possibly go back to…” As he spoke, Yuki suddenly realized a problem. Should he tell Eiya about Eiru living in the boys’ dorm?

“Go back where?” The moment his words trailed off, Eiya’s curiosity was instantly piqued. “Does she have another place she lives?”

“Go back… to my place or your place, right? Do you really think she’d be fine leaving this place unused and running off to those two places?” After thinking it over, Yuki chose to keep it hidden.

Because he couldn’t guarantee that Eiya wouldn’t explode again if she found out about it. Judging by how protective she was of her sister before, she most likely wouldn’t allow Eiru to live in a place like a boys’ dorm.

After all, several guys including a certain loli who called herself a macho man were completely unfazed by it and had even grown used to this kind of life. So Yuki did have a bit of a selfish motive here. He still wanted to stay together with his little girlfriend, sleeping every day with a little demon loli body pillow.

“That’s true. If my sister’s fine, there’s basically no way she’d go home.” Saying that, there was a hint of loneliness in Eiya’s voice.

“As for going to your place… if she dares, I’ll tie her up. Only when she understands the difference between men and women will I let her out!”

“Uh, young lady, that idea is pretty dangerous. Education is good, but you can’t play like that, right?” Yuki’s mouth twitched. He complained verbally while feeling relieved inside that he hadn’t mentioned Eiru living in the boys’ dorm earlier.

However, Yuki forgot one thing. He himself seemed to have once thought about tying up a certain loli and giving her a proper lesson. But that was only a thought. Both emotionally and morally, he would never actually do it.

On the other side, in the alley, Her Majesty the Demon Lord patted off the nonexistent dust on her hands, looking like she had wrapped things up. In front of her, several human shaped indentations were embedded into the alley walls.

“I hit a bit too hard, but nothing will happen.” The little Demon Lord rubbed her wrist. She had controlled her strength and used magic to protect those people. The ones embedded in the wall would be fine, just hurting too much to move for a few days.

Just as Her Majesty the Demon Lord was inspecting her handiwork, a sound tearing through the air rang out not far away. Several unknown objects flew toward her back at extreme speed.
