Demon King – Chapter 371 – The Prankster Demon Lord’s Sister-Pitting History

“I’m here, I’m here… huff… where are Lu Brat and Little Ya? What happened to them?”

At a small alley in the East District, a black haired boy was half squatting with his hands braced on his knees, looking completely out of breath.

“Little Eiya is here, but we still haven’t found Lu Brat yet…”

Yuki reached out and pushed the silver-haired girl beside him forward.

“Did you really need to rush over like that? Want to take a break?”

“Didn’t you tell me Lu Brat was in trouble? How could I not be anxious? And you couldn’t even keep an eye on your girlfriend? What kind of boyfriend are you?!”

Jiaqi shouted unhappily.

No matter what, Eiru was his childhood friend. If something really happened to her, Jiaqi’s level of anxiety definitely would not be any less than anyone else’s. With Yuki around and still something going wrong, it was impossible for him not to get emotional.

Yuki frowned. Jiaqi’s words really stabbed him right in the heart. But this time he was in the wrong, so he did not say much, only silently plotting how to tie up a certain girl.

“So what exactly happened to her? What’s wrong?”

“Calm down, Brother Jiaqi…”

Seeing his reaction, Eiya quickly stepped forward to soothe his emotions.

“My sister climbed out the window and ran off in the middle of the night while both of us were in the living room… so Brother Yuki and I are looking for her now.”

“Huh? Ran off? You’re searching for her?”

After hearing the rough outline of what happened, Jiaqi was stunned for a moment. After processing it, only one thought remained in his head.

‘Just this?’

“This little thing got you all worked up like this? It’s one thing if Yuki doesn’t know any better, but Little Ya, you’re still this nervous?”

For a moment, Jiaqi did not know how to describe how he felt.

‘I ditched my newly made good bros, took a taxi in the middle of the night to rush over here, and this is all it was?’

It was like when you are at school or work and your family calls urging you to come home, saying something happened. Then you hurriedly ask for leave, spend half the day traveling back home, only for your family to tell you the bedroom door is broken and won’t close…

That was pretty much how Jiaqi felt right now.

“Lu Brat climbing walls and windows to run off is a repeat offense. When we were kids, we climbed out windows to play all the time… once she’s had her fun, she’ll come back on her own. No need to look.”

Jiaqi rubbed his forehead and sighed, his face full of helplessness.

“It’s fine if Yuki doesn’t know, but Little Ya, did you forget that before you moved, Lu Brat even talked you into climbing out the window with her in the middle of the night?”

“Oh, that time I think… I fell and hurt my leg?”

With Jiaqi’s reminder, Eiya remembered that experience as well.

Before she was seven, Eiru was already a habitual window climber. Back then, they lived in a two story house. Whenever their parents did not allow them to go out, Eiru would basically choose to climb out and run off.

Sometimes she was egged on by Jiaqi, sometimes she wanted to sneak out to play by herself… and if it was back in their hometown, she would basically go out partying with Jiaqi every night.

Ei Yuan and Liu Wan were completely helpless about it. Thinking that boys being lively was a good thing, they mostly turned a blind eye to Eiru’s window climbing escapes…

Besides, at the time they were busy dealing with Eiya’s issues and had no extra energy to manage Eiru. With Jiaqi along, as long as nothing went wrong, it was fine…

Then one night when Eiya was seven, Eiru suddenly snuck into Eiya’s room and egged her younger sister on to climb out the window together in the middle of the night.

Because their relationship back then was genuinely so close it was ridiculous, Eiya quickly agreed. They planned to wait until their parents fell asleep before climbing out together…

Their plan was simple. Once the family was asleep, the two of them would start from the second floor window. First jump onto the outdoor air conditioner unit, then use it as a stepping stone to move downward…

Unlike a certain repeat offender who was completely at ease with this, Eiya had no window climbing experience and a frail body. First, the metal frame holding the air conditioner tore her skirt, then she stepped into empty air and fell straight down from the height of two floors…

The outcome was that Eiya broke her right leg, while Eiru was chased three streets away by her beloved parents wielding a feather duster… At the same time, to prevent similar incidents, the family moved houses and ended up living in their current high rise apartment in the West District.

“There was… something like that?”

Yuki looked utterly speechless. He knew Eiru was mischievous, but he did not expect her to be this bad.

“So Lu Brat climbing out windows is totally normal. No need to be so nervous…”

Jiaqi waved his hand indifferently. Yuki and Eiya looked at each other, feeling like they had made a huge fuss over nothing.

“But the East District is really chaotic. I was even attacked by a murderer here last time…”

Although she felt much calmer inside, Eiya was still worried about her sister wandering around outside like this.

“She told me about that. Didn’t she knock the other guy down in a few punches and kicks? You already know how good she is at fighting. How could something happen?”

Jiaqi scratched his head, unable to understand the direction of Eiya’s concern. With Eiru being that capable, no matter how wild she got outside, no one could do anything to her.

“But…”

Eiya tried to say something, but was quickly interrupted.

“Alright, alright, I’ll help you look for her.”

Jiaqi sighed helplessly.

“I’m already here anyway. We’re not as good at fighting as Lu Brat, so with more people we can at least watch each other’s backs.”

“Mm, mm, mm, then we’ll split up…”

“Don’t split up!”

The two boys said in unison…

“By the way, uncle, you’re still patrolling in the middle of the night? You’ve worked hard…”

The little Demon Lord lay on the back of a plainclothes officer, speaking with some emotion.

There were still plainclothes police patrolling outside at this hour. The public security on the East District side really was terrifying… Luckily, she had retracted her wings and tail in time. If they had been seen ahead, that would have been trouble.

As for those three international friends, although the language barrier prevented her from being sold out on the spot, once they were taken back, translators could always be found to question them in detail…

So to be safe, Her Majesty the Demon Lord used what little magic she had left to do a bit of work on the three of them. Using magically implanted suggestions and hypnosis, whenever they tried to say anything related to her non-human identity, they would temporarily lose the ability to express it through speech or writing.

As for the thugs in the alley… they were drunk anyway, and they did not even see clearly how she made her moves. Let them be.

“Um… I think I delayed your patrol? Maybe you should put me down. If I rest a bit, I can walk home on my own.”

Speaking weakly, Eiru could not help feeling apologetic… Did she cause trouble for others again?

“No need. This is also part of our duty…”

The other plainclothes officer beside them reached out and rubbed her head.

After all, they were not actually patrolling to begin with. This really could be considered part of their task… And even if this girl were not some special protected individual, they would not leave a little girl alone outside in the middle of the night.
