Demon King – Chapter 370 – Even a Tough Guy Can’t Think of a Title

“Isn’t that way too cowardly? If you don’t go up and clash head on even once, what’s the point… I even designed matching equipment for you. Can’t you at least explore a bit?”

Watching the three fleeing in panic within the illusion, Eiru felt rather bored.

‘I made this thing to watch a proper game clear run, you know. You guys not cooperating makes it no fun at all. You clearly performed pretty well in the earlier rounds and even cleared half the progress…’

Complaining inwardly, just as the little demon lord was considering whether to lower the game’s difficulty, a wave of dizziness and weakness accompanied by a splitting headache suddenly struck, causing her mind to blank out for a moment.

‘Crap, I got too carried away and didn’t pay attention to my mana consumption…’

Immediately realizing her condition, Her Majesty the Demon Lord lowered her head, clutching it with a pained expression.

Unable to maintain domination over the other party’s five senses, the illusion was naturally dispelled. The scene before the three unlucky men’s eyes shifted abruptly as they were forcibly pulled out of the illusion.

As their consciousness returned to reality, what greeted their eyes was the sight of a certain girl holding her head with one hand, looking extremely uncomfortable…

Although they did not understand the situation, seeing that Eiru seemed in no condition to pay attention to them, the three exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus.

Following the usual routine, many people in this situation might feel that an opportunity had appeared and give rise to thoughts of turning the tables and killing the other side.

But the three were at least half seasoned veterans. After suffering such a massive and inexplicable loss at Eiru’s hands, how would they dare keep messing around? Taking advantage of the moment when this little demon on the ground had not reacted yet, the three hurriedly scrambled up, planning to make a swift escape.

“What’s going on? What are you doing?”

Just as the three were about to flee, several people ran in from both ends of the alley, shouting and questioning them.

Although confused as to why people would still come to a place like this in the middle of the night, the three did not want to stir up more trouble. Anxious to leave, they were just about to brush it off when they suddenly remembered the language barrier problem.

While they were panicking, the people who arrived afterward noticed the girl sitting on the ground with a pained expression, and their faces immediately changed…

“What did you do to her? Come with us!”

“On the ground that is? A gun? And a case?”

Noticing the items the three had failed to put away in time, the four young men who entered the alley later immediately connected it to something unpleasant.

“This is? Tranquilizer rounds?”

Squatting down to pick up the small items scattered beside Eiru, one of them recognized what they were.

“Little girl, are you okay? Don’t be afraid, we won’t hurt you…… If you’re feeling unwell, do you want to go to the hospital?”

One plainclothes officer stayed by Eiru’s side to check on her condition while trying to soothe her emotions.

“You three, come with us.”

Showing their credentials to the dazed trio, the two plainclothes officers also contacted other colleagues in the process.

However, these international friends could not understand a word they were saying, and could only roughly guess the other party’s profession from their actions. Did they attract the cops this time? No, they had to find a way to shift attention and distance themselves.

“Don’t be fooled by her, that girl isn’t human!”

“She’s a demon! Very dangerous!”

“She’s an enemy of humanity! We almost died by her hands just now!”

The three spoke excitedly in their native language, trying to sell out a certain demon to divert attention. But when they turned back, they discovered that the wings and tail of the silver-haired girl on the ground had already vanished without a trace, and she now looked completely like an ordinary frail girl.

‘What the hell? What kind of nonsense are they talking about…’

Unable to understand their language, several plainclothes officers frowned.

‘So they were foreigners? That made things troublesome.’

They keenly realized the seriousness of the matter. If the existence of this girl were known by overseas forces, there would surely be endless trouble…

After exchanging words briefly, they quickly made a decision. They split into two groups. Two stayed behind to guard the three men and wait for reinforcements, while the other two would first take the girl to get a physical checkup and report today’s situation.

“Kid, are you alright? We’ll take you to see a doctor first, okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine, no need to go through all that trouble! I’m just a bit dizzy and have a headache…”

The little Demon Lord panicked and hurriedly waved her hands in refusal. She really did not want to expose her identity, and these were all police uncles. She absolutely could not let them find out.

“Did these tranquilizer rounds hit you? If so, that’s very serious… You must get checked.”

One of the plainclothes officers frowned deeply.

“These are commonly used foreign hunting tranquilizer rounds. If they hit a human body, there can be serious problems.”

“No no! They didn’t hit me! They all missed! I-I-I… I was just a bit scared! So my legs are kind of weak… Yes! That’s it!”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord forced a smile, using her barely functioning brain to desperately think of ways to cope.

“Look, these are for animals… and most likely for large animals! If I’d been hit, how could I still be awake?”

“That’s true, but I still think you need to get chec—”

“Really no need! I’m completely fine! Sorry for bothering you so late at night! I’ll head home now!”

Cutting the other off, the little Demon Lord laughed awkwardly while trying to stand up and leave this troublesome place…

But with the lingering effects of the tranquilizer and the weakness from mana depletion, her softened legs simply could not support Eiru’s delicate body. Before she could fully stand, her center of gravity slipped again and she fell forward…

“Careful!”

The plainclothes officer beside her reacted quickly, reaching out to support the silver-haired girl in front of him, preventing her from ending up face planting the ground.

“How about we send you home first? It’s not safe for a little girl to be out alone so late……”

The two sighed. They could understand why Eiru did not want to get checked and did not press her further.

“Ah? No no, I’m just a bit tired. I can rest here for a while and walk back myself.”

Since the effects of the tranquilizer would not disappear in a short time, and fearing her condition might be exposed, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had originally planned to wait until they were gone, then float home using magic…

“Enough. You’re not feeling well. We’ll take you home.”

Using a tone that allowed no refusal, one of the plainclothes officers reached out and lifted Eiru up.

Given the sensitive nature of the situation, once the follow up personnel arrived, they would still need to question the three men at the scene. Considering all factors, they decided to get Eiru away from the scene as soon as possible.

So what kind of mess was this anyway? She went out to catch a peeping tom and ended up in this miserable state… Complaining inwardly, the little Demon Lord lying in the other’s arms now developed another headache inducing problem.

If the other two silver-haired ones at home saw her in this state, they would definitely go berserk again… No, she had to think of a way to fool them. Otherwise, her butt might really end up blooming tonight…
