Demon King – Chapter 382 – Yuki Being Forceful

“No, hold on. When you went out with Stupid Yuki to look for me yesterday, didn’t you not dye your hair either?”

As a ‘good older brother,’ the little Demon Lord really didn’t want her little sister pulling this kind of pointless stubbornness.

‘Tch, you still have the nerve to bring up last night…’

Yuki raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything, only quietly thinking about how to teach a certain stupid girl a lesson.

“I was wearing a hat yesterday, okay? Didn’t you see it?”

Eiya grabbed a lock of her own hair with each hand to demonstrate.

Of course, that was only part of the reason. The main thing was that the monitoring intensity of those lookouts wasn’t actually very high. Eiya only dared to go out because she slipped through a gap.

Those so-called lookouts arranged by their parents for her older sister were really just to prevent her from running away from home or something like that. Unless Eiru showed some obvious abnormal behavior, they had no intention of interfering too much. You could even say they were slacking harder than a certain girl.

After all, they were just nearby residents, not professional surveillance personnel. They were only entrusted by Eiru’s parents to occasionally keep an eye on someone’s movements.

So this bunch of slacking ‘lookouts’ naturally wouldn’t notice someone girl-fying herself. As for that silver-haired girl who often appeared at Eiru’s place, this was how they reported it. Your kid hooked up with a silver-haired girl and brings her home every day.

Last night it was already very late and basically everyone had gone to sleep. On top of that, Eiya didn’t appear together with Eiru, so it was even more likely they would mistake her for some ‘girl currently dating Eiru.’

If she went out together with her sister now, her silver hair definitely wouldn’t be able to stay hidden. What did silver-white hair mean? The people nearby might not know, but their parents definitely would.

At this stage, Eiya still planned to hide this matter from her parents. They had only just started to soften their attitude toward her sister and take her more seriously. If they found out about this now, her sister would end up being neglected even more.

“I can make a visual trick so that in other people’s eyes your hair will look black. That should be fine, right?”

The little Demon Lord thought for a bit and came up with a fairly decent solution.

“That would work…”

Eiya looked at Eiru with a more complicated expression.

“But sis, do you really want to go to Brother Yuki’s place that badly?”

“Eh?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord froze. When she reacted, she immediately realized she’d fallen for it.

“Yeah! Why do I have to go to your place anyway? I’m staying here nice and comfy. Why should I run over to your place? I don’t want to go out!”

Puffing up angrily as she glared at Yuki, Eiru felt it was all his fault for leading her astray.

“Stupid girl…”

Eiya held her face and muttered softly.

“Today, whether you want to go or not, you’re going…”

Yuki said with a smiling face, directly placing one hand on his little girlfriend’s head, right on that so-called ‘reverse scale.’

Under Eiya’s dumbfounded gaze, she saw her sister, who had been making a fuss just moments ago, suddenly freeze up like her internet connection had been cut. She stayed in a puffed-up cat pose, completely stiff on the spot.

“Y-you-you, what did you do to my sister?”

This hit Eiya’s knowledge blind spot. She had never heard of any ‘reverse scale’ before. All she could feel was that Yuki looked like he’d cast some kind of spell.

“She hasn’t told you yet?”

Yuki smiled and lifted his hand from Eiru’s head in front of Eiya. The other immediately came back online.

“Stupid Yuki, you…”

She had just let out a breath of relief and hadn’t even had time to complain when Yuki’s hand landed on her head again, forcibly cutting off her ‘internet’ once more.

“Ee…”

Yuki’s level of forcefulness made Eiya suck in a sharp breath. Clearly top and bottom. Looks like in the future my sister is probably stuck on the bottom, no chance to ever turn the tables.

“What happened yesterday taught me a lesson. I have to keep you firmly tied to my side… otherwise you’ll definitely sneak out again and cause a whole bunch of trouble, right?”

As he spoke, Yuki leaned close to the little Demon Lord’s ear and gently blew a few breaths at her.

Listening to Yuki, the completely helpless Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt like crying without tears.

‘What the hell is this? In the end Little Ya isn’t the yandere one, you are? And you want to tie me up?’

“Of course I’m not actually going to tie you up…”

Yuki sighed. He knew that for a naturally lively girl like her, restraining her would be pure torture.

“But accompanying me home and staying at my place for one night shouldn’t be a problem, right? My house has rooms too. If you really don’t want to walk, worst case I’ll just carry you back…”

As he finished speaking, Yuki let go and casually tossed two sets of casual dresses between the two sisters.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you.”

Regaining her freedom, the little Demon Lord held her head and stared at Yuki warily, afraid he’d suddenly launch another attack.

“Little Ya has to come too. Leaving you here alone wouldn’t put me at ease either.”

Turning to look at her little sister, Eiru didn’t forget about Eiya’s situation.

Even though it came from worry and good intentions, the reaction of a certain girl looked exactly like someone who knew their own head was being sent to the chopping block, so they dragged a pig teammate along to pad the fall. It left her dear little sister with a face full of black lines.

“If you can help me deal with my hair problem, then it’s fine… but what about Gulu?”

Eiya pointed at the curtain, where a certain big cat had already climbed halfway up.

“Nya?”

Noticing the gazes of the three, Gulu, exercising its cat instincts as it clawed at the curtain, tilted its head and cutely sold a moe pose at them.

“Whaa! My curtains! You demonic beast!!!”

“Did you see the message the teacher sent? Eiru’s grades have improved a lot.”

Ei Yuan’s face was full of joy, his tone extremely excited.

“Yeah, I told you. Letting him suffer a bit would make him understand he needs to work hard.”

Liu Wan had also received the news. Looking at Eiru’s latest report card information, the smile on her face wouldn’t go away.

“But isn’t this improvement a bit too big?”

Noticing something off about the jump in grades, Liu Wan suddenly pulled back her smile.

“Last time he went from near the bottom of the grade to just passing all subjects. This time he jumped straight into the top fifty of the grade? He didn’t cheat, did he?”

“Say that again and I won’t be happy. He’s your son too. Can’t you give him some trust? Does he look like someone who would cheat? What benefit would cheating even bring him?”

Hearing that, Ei Yuan also put on a serious expression, though in his heart he still stood on the child’s side.

“Maybe he just got lucky, guessed more questions right, and overperformed? And Little Lu has been very well-behaved lately. He hasn’t been fighting or causing trouble. Can’t you believe that he calmed down and really focused on studying? He’s not stupid.”

“Alright, alright, I won’t pursue it.”

Liu Wan also showed a bitter smile. She didn’t really believe her child would do something like cheating either.

“Now that his grades are up, should we consider bringing him back home? The kid’s been staying outside all this time with no one to take care of him. It always makes me feel…”

Ei Yuan seized the chance to suggest bringing Eiru back. There was no reason to keep leaving her outside anymore.

“Their sibling relationship has improved too. Bringing him back means they can look out for each other. It’s good for everyone, isn’t it?”

“We’ll talk about it later… aren’t his grades improving proof that my method works? And it’s good for boys to suffer a bit more.”

Facing her partner’s persuasion, Liu Wan just waved it off, brushing the topic aside. Eiru’s progress instead made her even more convinced that her parenting approach was correct.

“You said yourself it might just be luck and an overperformance. Let’s wait until his grades stabilize before talking about bringing him back.”
