Demon King – Chapter 367 – The Title Got Eaten Alive by a Tough Guy

“Something feels off?”

The three communicated with each other in a foreign language. One of them, squatting beside Eiru, suddenly sensed that something wasn’t right.

“What’s off? Hurry up and stuff her in. Someone might come any moment…”

Another urged impatiently, shaking the suitcase a bit… But that shake immediately made him notice something wrong.

‘This suitcase… was it really this heavy before?’

Just as he was pondering that question, the accomplice who had been responsible for sniping earlier suddenly thumped down, dropping to one knee on the ground.

“What’s wrong? Wait… what is this?”

The three finally noticed that something was wrong with their own bodies. An invisible pressure kept amplifying, pressing down on them… Before long, two of the three were already sprawled on the ground, leaving only one barely holding on, propping himself up with one hand against the ground.

“The fish bit the hook~ And it’s three imported big ones at that?”

A playful voice rang out. The three discovered that at some unknown point in time, the girl who had been lying on the ground had already rolled over and sat up.

These people had been hiding in the shadows the whole time, firing cold shots. In such a dim little alley, it really wasn’t easy to locate them quickly… So after getting hit by the first tranquilizer dart, Eiru had already come up with this current plan of playing dead and fishing them out.

And hearing these people speak fluent foreign languages, Her Majesty the Demon Lord also grew curious about their identities. They didn’t seem like human traffickers, nor did they seem like the kind she had imagined who would capture her and slice her up for research…

“Well~ even though I don’t know what you’re trying to catch me for, you don’t really look like human traffickers.”

The little demon lord propped her hands between her legs, sitting on the ground and smiling cheerfully at the three.

Because of the language barrier, the three couldn’t understand a word of what Eiru was saying. But judging from her unhurried and composed attitude, the strange condition afflicting their bodies was definitely the handiwork of the loli in front of them.

“What did you do?!”

With his whole body under crushing pressure, even after mustering all his strength, one of them could only barely shout out this single sentence.

“There’s no point asking her. She can’t understand us!”

Another pointed out the issue of their mutual lack of communication, his face full of indignation.

“No, I understand~”

The loli in front of them suddenly spoke their language fluently, causing all three to freeze in place for a moment, completely stunned.

“As for that question just now, I only amplified the gravity on your bodies by a few times, that’s all~ Don’t worry, it’s under control. Nothing bad will happen. It’ll just be very very uncomfortable, that’s all.”

With a mischievous smile hanging on her face, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s playful urges had been completely stirred up.

“Don’t blame me, okay~ After all, shooting tranquilizer darts at me and all that… to be honest, it really hurts.”

Eiru complained somewhat gloomily. After all, her entire body was still filled with numbness and weakness.

Even though she had promptly used magic to break down the drugs that entered her body, the effects that had already manifested couldn’t be eliminated immediately… So it wasn’t that Eiru wanted to sit on the ground, but rather that she truly couldn’t stand up for the time being.

“Anyway, let’s play a little game first… The loser has to answer one question, okay~”

With a little devilish smile on her face, the little demon lord spoke fluent foreign words. What sounded like childlike playful banter instead sent a chill down the spines of the three lying on the ground.

“Litlte Eiya, what are you looking at?”

Noticing Eiya flipping through a book on the desk, Yuki asked somewhat speechlessly.

Weren’t you supposed to be looking for clues about your sister running out in the middle of the night? How did you end up sitting at the desk reading a book… Are you not planning to look for your sister anymore?

“This is a book my sister left half read on the desk. I wanted to see if there were any clues in it.”

Eiya explained while keeping her gaze fixed on the pages, never lifting her eyes.

“Hm? This book is in Sakura language… Can you even read it?”

Curious, Yuki leaned over to take a look. After noticing the contents, he showed a surprised expression.

“Yeah, just happens that I can… I’m proficient in three countries’ languages, you know~”

Closing the book and hugging it to her chest, Eiya wore a slightly smug expression, clearly asking ‘Aren’t I impressive?’

“Huh? Then that really is impressive… I remember you’re fourteen, right?”

Lifting a cup of water and taking a sip, Yuki couldn’t help but marvel at Eiya’s intelligence. At fourteen, being proficient in three languages could only be described as a little genius.

“Actually, my sister taught me all of it. She’s the truly terrifying one.”

As she spoke, Eiya placed the book back where it had been.

“That’s true. Your sister’s ability in this area is honestly absurd.”

Yuki agreed wholeheartedly. After all, as the grade’s top student, he himself had been casually tutored into that position by her…

So no matter what Eiya told him Eiru could do now, Yuki believed he wouldn’t really be surprised. And then Eiya’s next sentence nearly made him spray his water out.

“My sister is proficient in thirteen languages, and she learned all of them on her own… In front of her, I really don’t even count as scratching the surface.”

“Holy shit, is she hacking? That’s way too insane!”

Nearly spraying out his water, Yuki failed to control himself and blurted out a curse.

Yuki knew that his little girlfriend was freakishly smart, but he never imagined she was freakish to this degree.

‘Lu Brat was only sixteen. Proficient in thirteen languages? Self taught? Is that even human… Oh right, she isn’t human to begin with… Then never mind.’

“So when dad and mom said she’d gone bad back then and her grades plummeted, I really thought it was ridiculous. I absolutely refused to believe it.”

As she talked about the past, Yuki’s reaction was exactly as Eiya had expected.

“And because my sister was basically raised free range, our parents never really understood this side of her at all… Plus, my sister never showed this side of herself in front of them. From childhood to now, they only ever thought she was an ordinary kid with just okay grades.”

“So I think your parents really are… never mind. Saying it in front of you would be rude.”

Yuki scratched his head. He truly couldn’t find the words to describe his girlfriend’s parents.

‘Are they really her biological parents? No wonder Lu Brat liked to say she was a free bonus thrown in with phone credit.’

“…” Eiya fell silent, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic.

“Alright, alright. There aren’t any clues in the room anyway. Waiting around isn’t going to help… I’m planning to go out and look for her. What do you say?”

Sensing the mood turning off, Yuki quickly changed the subject.

“I’ll go too! Two people searching is faster. I’ll check around the milk tea shop area first…”

Agreeing with Yuki’s proposal, Eiya immediately sprang into action and dashed toward the door.

However, just as she reached the doorway, Yuki slipped both hands under her arms and lifted her up. Turning her head in confusion, she was met with Yuki’s look that clearly said ‘you really are something else.’

“What should I say… you two really are sisters, huh?”

“What?”

Eiya looked utterly baffled. Weren’t they going out to look for someone? Why stop me now?

“Before you head out, could you please take a look at what you’re wearing?”

Yuki was completely defeated by this pair of silver haired loli sisters.

‘Why do you both love running outside in your nightgowns so much? Please, use a little common sense and pay attention to how you’re dressed, okay?’
