Demon King – Chapter 386 – Did Eiya Run Away From Home?

“Little Ya ran away from home and her whereabouts are still unknown! How can you not be anxious at all?!”

Jiaqi asked urgently. He had rushed over precisely to discuss countermeasures with his childhood friend, but what was with this completely detached reaction?

Yuki, standing to the side, also frowned. His little girlfriend’s abnormal behavior made him uneasy as well. Still, he didn’t say much. After years of being together, although she often did stupid things, he knew that this crafty girl in his arms definitely had her own reasons.

“What’s there to be anxious about? Nothing’s going to happen to her… she’s not a kid anymore. When I was her age, I’d already run out and was living on my own.”

The little Demon Lord waved her hand dismissively, her casual tone carrying a hint of impatience, as if the one whose whereabouts were unknown wasn’t her own sister at all.

“No, she doesn’t have your kind of self-preservation ability… she’s just an ordinary little girl.”

Eiru’s attitude made Jiaqi a bit frantic.

“Leaving everything else aside, if she ran into someone with bad intentions… where do you get the confidence to think she’ll be fine?”

“Relax, you remember this thing, right?”

Eiru pulled out the jade pendant hanging on her chest and shook it a couple of times in front of Jiaqi.

“Jade is a very good medium for magic. I already turned Little Ya’s pendant into a protective charm… if she runs into danger, the magic I set up in advance will protect her.”

Ever since her sister was attacked by a criminal in an alley that one time, in order to prevent anything similar from happening again, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had put in a great deal of effort. Using the other party’s jade pendant as a magical medium, she constructed a complex self-regulating defensive magic array.

Considering that kids only grow up after falling a few times, the array was also set with a threshold. Ordinary falls or minor scuffles wouldn’t trigger it. Only attacks of a certain intensity could activate the mechanism. When triggered, the magic stored inside would form a protective barrier to safeguard the person wearing the pendant.

At the same time, the item itself also had a positioning function. With such insurance in place, the little Demon Lord didn’t need to worry about her sister’s safety at all.

“Then why… didn’t you make one for yourself?”

After hearing Eiru’s explanation, Yuki’s expression suddenly turned cold instead.

After all the messes that happened before, I thought your abilities were all active skills and that you’d be at a disadvantage if someone ambushed you. And now you’re telling me you can make something like this to protect yourself?

“Because I’m lazy. Ehehe.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord played cute.

“Making this kind of thing costs a lot of energy. I’m too lazy to bother.”

“Make. One. For. Yourself. Right. Now.”

Grabbing her cheeks, Yuki was getting genuinely angry from this girl’s antics.

“I don’t want to. This thing is basically just a simplified version of my own ability. Why would I go through all that trouble?”

Waving her hands and making a fuss, Eiru also started throwing a little tantrum.

“It’s like when you can clearly just put the food into a pot filled with water and heat everything at once with steam. But instead you insist on boiling the water first, then putting the bowls into the hot water to warm them. Isn’t that unnecessary and stupid?”

“Don’t try to swap concepts on me, you stupid girl!”

Yuki angrily tugged at his little girlfriend’s wings. An automatic thing like that, how could it be the same as manual?

“Stop, stop, we should talk about Little Ya first…”

Jiaqi spoke up to interrupt the interaction between the couple. As her childhood friend, he was very concerned about Eiya.

“Even if there’s no safety issue, you still have to consider other things… you know she grew up in a greenhouse. There’s a lot she doesn’t understand.”

As he spoke, Jiaqi let out a long sigh.

“I don’t know if your parents have called the police since they can’t find her… Lu Brat, how about we go look for your sister? Since you can locate her, you should know where she is right now, right?”

“Don’t make it sound like I’m monitoring her location all the time. That’s too much, not giving her any privacy.”

The little Demon Lord rolled her eyes.

“The positioning I set only sends me a distress signal at a specific magical frequency if she’s in danger.”

“So as long as nothing’s wrong, there’s no way for me to determine her location through that.”

“We think you should still go look for her, little princess.”

Jixian and Ziyu, who hadn’t spoken up until now, exchanged a glance and then voiced their opinion.

“After all, she’s your real younger sister who grew up with you. Even if you have some issues with her, this isn’t the time to throw a tantrum…”

Saying words that made Eiru’s head ache, it was obvious the two of them had misunderstood something.

From the couple in the dorm, they had pieced together some information about Eiru’s family situation. While they knew this girl doted heavily on her sister, after learning about her parents’ absurd behavior, they felt that she had at least some resentment toward her sister.

“No, did you guys misunderstand something?”

The little Demon Lord grabbed the horns on her head with both hands, the corners of her mouth twitching.

“We know you have some grievances toward your sister, but your parents’ issues… we don’t think your sister should be the one to bear that. And besides, according to Brother Yuki, your sister seems to care about you a lot.”

The two of them waved their hands, wearing expressions that clearly said ‘we get it’, while Yuki behind Eiru was already covering his mouth, snickering.

“No, what grievances could I possibly have against her? What are you even talking about?!”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord was on the verge of losing it.

“I dote on her a lot. I’m just not worried because I know nothing will happen to her!”

“But Little Ya’s whereabouts are unknown right now. No matter who it is, no one can guarantee nothing will happen to her, right?”

Jiaqi, the most anxious person present, continued pressing his point, trying to persuade the girl to go look for her sister with him.

“That’s enough already! She really won’t be in trouble!”

Eiru grabbed at her hair, growing impatient from Jiaqi’s persistent pestering.

“Alright, Lu Brat. If you don’t give Jiaqi some concrete proof, he won’t be able to feel at ease, right?”

Yuki stepped in awkwardly as a mediator.

“And you understand Jiaqi’s character better than I do. You should know how much he cares about you sisters.”

“Fine, fine, I get it…”

Tugging irritably at her hair a couple of times, the little Demon Lord seemed to make up her mind and suddenly lifted her head.

“Little—Ya—”

That shout from Eiru completely stunned the people in the dorm. With question marks all over their faces, they couldn’t understand what kind of stunt this girl was pulling now.

But then they saw something even stranger. The curtain of some girl’s little black room slowly parted, and a small silver-white head leisurely poked out from inside.

“T-Two little princesses?”

Jixian and Ziyu’s gazes moved back and forth. The identical silver-white long hair and deep blue eyes made the two of them, seeing two girls appear on stage together for the first time, fall into utter confusion.
