Demon King – Chapter 383 – Eiya Wants to Skip a Grade

While meeting Eiya’s request, whether out of a prankster’s mindset or for some other reason, the little Demon Lord chose a different approach. She directly interfered with the perception of the people and electronic devices around them, making the figures of the two sisters vanish from their sight.

After this move, in the eyes of the surrounding neighbors, only Yuki came out of the house. The two siblings inside and that silver-haired girl were all still obediently staying indoors.

Not to mention those so-called ‘lookout’ neighbors, even the PR personnel secretly keeping an eye on that certain girl probably still thought she was quietly staying inside the house…

Arriving at Yuki’s place, just as he said, there really wasn’t a single person at home. And perhaps taking the holiday into account, Yuki had even deliberately given the housekeeper some time off. Though more likely, it was because he was afraid his little girlfriend might cause some kind of trouble.

“So why are your parents never home no matter when it is?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord was completely unrestrained. She plopped down on the living room sofa with a plop and started complaining.

Although it was a good thing that Yuki’s overly child-protective, borderline obsessive mom wasn’t around, honestly speaking, during a short holiday like this, having absolutely no one at home… maybe Yuki staying alone made him a bit lonely, and that was why he dragged her over to keep him company?

“You know what my mom does… the company has a ton of issues to deal with, so she basically doesn’t have something like a vacation.”

Yuki pressed his forehead. He did feel sorry for his mother.

“Then what about your dad? Didn’t he get transferred back for work? He’s still that busy?”

Eiru asked as she picked up a tangerine from the table, peeled off a segment, and fed it to Eiya beside her.

“Him… his line of work is special. And recently there’ve been some troublesome matters, so he got busy again.”

“Feels like you’re kind of like us too. You basically didn’t get much time with your parents either…”

Listening obediently to the exchange, Eiya swallowed the tangerine and shared her thoughts.

“Huh? Haven’t Mom and Dad always been with you?”

Hearing that from her little sister, Eiru was a bit surprised. In her impression, weren’t their parents always revolving around Little Ya?

“No. Sis, you don’t really understand Mom and Dad’s schedule… aside from Mom occasionally having some free time, most of the time they’re working.”

Eiya frowned slightly. But thinking about how Eiru had been away from home for years, it was normal for her not to know.

“Do you remember Uncle Ling? You should have seen him a few times before.”

“I vaguely remember him. What about him?”

After rummaging through her memory, Her Majesty the Demon Lord barely recalled such a person.

“He’s actually the driver our family hired. A lot of the time when I go to school or cram classes, he’s the one who picks me up and drops me off.”

“Huh? Our family even has money for a dedicated driver?”

The little Demon Lord was a bit dumbfounded.

“And usually isn’t Dad the one driving you? I don’t see him that busy. Sometimes he even drove me to school…”

“Put it this way. You know Mom can’t drive, right? Mom and Dad don’t have the same schedules. Uncle Ling mainly drives Mom around… and helps run some errands. If there’s a need, he runs errands. He doesn’t really count as a dedicated driver.”

As Eiya explained, she peeled off a tangerine segment and stuffed it into her sister’s mouth.

“Dad picking you up is him deliberately making time. Especially when you come home for holidays with lots of stuff, he’ll make time to pick you up…”

“So what? I should thank him for being so considerate? Thank him for remembering my existence despite being so busy?”

Eiru’s face darkened, her tone full of disdain.

“Alright, that’s not what I meant… I was just explaining our family’s current situation to you.”

Eiya sighed.

“Let’s not talk about this. Brother Yuki, will there really be no one at your place for the next few days?”

“Nope. Don’t worry. You can mess around however you want here.”

Yuki gave them a firm answer. To avoid gossip and other troubles, he had deliberately cleared the house for these two girls.

“Anyway, you both have clothes here. Go take a shower first later… Little Eiya, I also have the hair dye you want. Remember to take a can when you leave.”

Yuki called the two of them into his room and opened his wardrobe in front of them.

He said clothes for two people, but in reality, they were all Eiru’s clothes. Curious about where Yuki hid these women’s clothes, the two girls were completely stunned when they saw him open the wardrobe.

‘What the hell? You hide women’s clothes in your own wardrobe? How did you fool your family…’

Eiru’s reaction was actually fine, but Eiya was truly dumbfounded and shocked.

Everyone knows that moms, when they have nothing better to do, often come over to rummage through your wardrobe, fiddle with your stuff, and then leave without even closing your room door.

Not just the wardrobe. Moms will occasionally rummage through your room in general. Under this almost carpet-search mode, hiding things is basically impossible. Even Eiru hadn’t dared to keep her little skirts at home before.

Yet Yuki’s operation made both of them widen their eyes even more. They watched as Yuki pressed a few raised spots inside the wardrobe in sequence. A not-too-big, not-too-small hidden compartment appeared just like that. When he opened it, a whole pile of little girl dresses and underwear and socks were neatly folded inside.

“Stupid Yuki… what is this? Playing a spy movie?”

The little Demon Lord’s mouth twitched. I only hide mine behind men’s clothes and in a small locked cabinet. You going this high-end is way too ridiculous, okay?

“I had it custom-made a while ago. Considering you might live here in the future… I had to find a more convenient place to store them.”

Yuki smiled awkwardly and took out two sets of nightdresses, handing them to the sisters.

“Then why is it in your room’s wardrobe?”

Eiya took the clothes and sharply caught the key point.

‘Of course my wife is going to sleep with me, so it has to be in my room. Where else would I put it…’

Obviously Yuki wasn’t going to say that out loud. He just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Yuki’s smile, the little Demon Lord felt a sudden chill for no reason. But she didn’t think too deeply about it. Tilting her head in confusion, she hugged the clothes and ran off to the bathroom.

—————

“By the way, sis, I want to discuss something with you…”

After bathing, Eiru and Eiya lay on the bed in the guest room, wrapped in blankets, talking sisterly secrets.

“Hmm?”

“I want to apply to skip a grade, then come to Seventh High and be with you. Is that okay?”

If Eiru had been drinking water, Eiya’s words would probably have made her spray it all out.

‘What the hell? You, a poster child top student, want to skip a grade just to come to the worst high school in the entire city?’

“Reason?”

“Because I want to stay with you.”

Eiya looked into her sister’s eyes and spoke seriously.

‘In the time I have left, I want to spend more of it with you.’

“You…”

Eiru felt a headache coming on. Even if she agreed, there was no way Eiya could get past their parents with this request.

What’s more, the East District is chaotic and Seventh High has a bad environment. As a good older brother, Eiru didn’t want Eiya’s bright future to be affected by these unstable factors.

“No. I don’t agree.”

Eiru shook her head and rejected her sister.

“Back then, a big reason I ran to Seventh High was because of you. I admit I was a bit extreme and immature at the time, but I did it so Mom and Dad would put all their attention on you… and now you want to run to Seventh High too? Then wouldn’t everything I did be for nothing?”
