Demon King – Chapter 409 – Today Is the Day Classes Are Reassigned

Eiru’s thinking was very simple. Rather than letting her future desk mate suffer the same lonely grievance as Yunyue did every day, it would be better to talk to the homeroom teacher and arrange for herself to sit alone.

I skip class and don’t attend lessons, so put me somewhere by myself. If she really said something like that directly to the teacher, wouldn’t that just be openly provoking them?

So that was basically impossible. All she could do was see if she could find someone who liked being alone to be her desk mate, achieving a win-win situation.

“So it’s not that I dislike you. I just don’t want you to feel wronged.”

On the way to the classroom, the Demon Lord explained while lightly kicking off with her legs, looping her arms around Yuki’s neck and letting herself hang in midair.

Even though he understood his little girlfriend’s reasoning, Yuki was still unhappy.

‘Finally in the same class, and you want my wife to sit with someone else? Even if I couldn’t openly blow up about it, I’d glare at them every day. You want to steal my wife and still sit there comfortably?’

“The problem you mentioned is actually easy to solve. You could just come to class.”

Using Eiru’s movement to straighten himself, Yuki smoothly bent his arms into a seat. The loli very consciously sat right down on his arms. The young couple still had that perfectly affectionate tacit understanding.

“I need to sunbathe to replenish my magic. I have a legitimate reason to skip class. I’m not just slacking off casually.”

Spouting serious nonsense, the Demon Lord gave a justification that, honestly, even she didn’t believe herself.

No, I originally believed that too. Yuki complained internally. After noticing that Eiru skipped class more often to stay in the dorm instead, he had already understood. This girl simply didn’t want to attend class and wanted to wander around freely.

“Alright, alright, I’m not messing around anymore. You know I don’t like being cooped up in one place, especially a classroom.”

Knowing she couldn’t fool him this time, the Demon Lord stuck out her tongue playfully.

“And dragging you along to skip class would be even worse. Students should prioritize their studies. Stupid Yuki, you’re not as smart as me. If it affected your college entrance exam and your life, I’d feel guilty forever.”

“Hearing that come out of your mouth feels really strange.”

The corner of Yuki’s mouth twitched.

‘You, who skip class every day, talking about students prioritizing their studies. This is knowingly committing the offense.’

“Okay okay, actually whether we’re desk mates or not doesn’t really matter. Even if I come to the classroom, I can still use illusions to interfere a bit and just hang out with you directly.”

Desk mates were one of the most important bonds in student life. Compared to her somewhat socially anxious self, Eiru still hoped Yuki could make more friends. Just don’t threaten her position as his number one best buddy.

“But I’m still annoyed.”

Yuki sighed.

“Forget it, do whatever you want. But if we do end up desk mates… emmmmm, never mind.”

He originally wanted to tell her to come to class more often, but it really did feel like it would be forcing her mischievous nature, so he swallowed the words back down.

Even if he said it, it honestly wouldn’t help much. Just look at poor Yunyue. Over the course of a month, how many times had she actually seen her dear desk mate? Though it was still much better than only seeing them once a year.

“Talking about this is useless anyway. We might not even be in the same class.”

Eiru patted Yuki’s back.

“This year’s science honor classes are different from previous years. They opened two that compete with each other. The class assignment list isn’t out yet. Everything’s still uncertain.”

‘No, we’re in the same class, and Jiaqi is there too.’

Yuki thought to himself. He had already seen the assignment list, but he wasn’t planning to say anything. He wanted to give this girl a bit more of a sense of surprise.

Unfortunately, Jixian, who had originally planned to choose the science track together, temporarily changed his mind because of his childhood friend and followed her into the liberal arts track instead. This made Ziyu unhappy for quite a while, loudly declaring that his son had a wife and forgot his father.

“I’m off, I’m off. If you have a lot of stuff, you can call me. I’m strong, I can help you move it.”

Reaching the floor where the second-year classrooms were, the Demon Lord said this while making a flexing gesture at Yuki. Then she jumped down from his arms and pattered off toward her classroom.

‘Strong my ass. Try not using magic.’

Watching the loli’s retreating figure, Yuki really couldn’t connect her fragile little body with the words strong.

Seriously, without that so-called magic, this girl wouldn’t even be able to solo the old hen her family raised back in the countryside. After all, Jiaqi had once described the embarrassing black history of someone being chased halfway down the street by a household hen.

“Morning, Yueyue. Why do you look so down?”

When she entered the classroom, the first person Eiru saw was naturally her former desk mate who had once had a crush on her. The other girl was slumped over her desk, looking listless and gloomy.

“We’re being reassigned. I’m unhappy.”

Seeing the person she thought about day and night, and still in male form, Yunyue showed her girlish side. There was a bit of coquettish sulking in her voice.

“What’s wrong? I heard your grades improved. This time you shouldn’t be in the problem class anymore. You should be able to go to a better class.”

Of course, this was just polite talk from the Demon Lord. To be honest, she didn’t actually know Yunyue’s grades anymore. She’d only heard that Qi Rong had been giving her extra tutoring.

“Do I look nice today?”

Yunyue turned her head from the desk to look at Eiru and suddenly threw out that question.

Only then did Eiru notice that Yunyue wasn’t wearing her school uniform today, but a black-and-white princess dress. That cute outfit paired with her shy, half-hidden expression. Eiru thought that if she were still a boy, she would probably already be completely charmed.

Sure enough, the other students in the class were also glancing over at Yunyue from time to time, more than enough to show just how great her appeal was.

Maybe because it was class reassignment day and the school didn’t plan to manage things too strictly, not only Yunyue but quite a few people were wearing their own clothes. But at a glance, Yunyue was still the most striking sight in the classroom.

“Now that classes are being reassigned, our last layer of connection is gone.”

Just as Eiru was spacing out, unsure how to answer, Yunyue slowly spoke, her tone full of regret and loss.

“So today I dressed up nicely especially for you. I borrowed the dress from Qianchen.”

As she spoke, Yunyue reached out and hugged Eiru’s arm beside her.

“I know you’re a girl and it’s not appropriate, but can you just let me hold you for a bit like this? Just today, just for a little while.”

“Uh… alright.”

Eiru sighed. Toward Yunyue, she had always felt a sense of guilt. After all, she really had delayed someone else’s feelings.

The person you love is destined to never be with you. For a girl in love, what could be more devastating than that?

Because of this guilt, Eiru had an extremely high level of tolerance toward Yunyue. If Yuki hadn’t confessed to her, perhaps out of softheartedness she really would have maintained her male identity and continued acting out this fake couple relationship between the two of them.
