Demon King – Chapter 415 – The Tough Guy Couldn’t Think of a Title, So He Ate It

In the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived. Honestly speaking, the sunlight in this area was pretty good. Her Majesty the Demon Lord had comfortably basked in the sun all day, replenishing part of her magic power.

Looking at the little girl beside her who was constantly fiddling with the river snail in her hands, Eiru was just about to say something when the phone in her pocket rang at a rather inopportune moment.

“Ah? Hold on, I’ll take a call…”

Estimating the time in her head, the Demon Lord lowered her head to look at the phone screen. Sure enough, it was a call from a certain silver-haired girl-protecting fanatic.

“Hello? Stupid Yuki… yeah, I’m still here. You’re almost here? Want me to go find you? Uh… wait here for you? That works too.”

These past few days, Yuki also knew where his little girlfriend had been going. Around dismissal time, he would arrange a car to wait at the school gate. The moment school ended, he would get into the car and rush over without stopping to pick up the girl.

“Is your good friend coming to pick you up?”

Seeing Eiru put away her phone, little sister Liru asked as she stood up from the bench.

“Ah, yeah… you’re heading off too? It’s getting late anyway, you should be going home as well.”

Stuffing the phone back into her pocket, the Demon Lord did not feel anything unexpected about it.

These past few days, Yuki had been coming to pick her up every time. And every time around this hour, Liru would also obediently leave this place. To be honest, the Demon Lord even had the feeling that someone was accompanying her.

“Go home early. You’ve been messing around outside all day, your parents are probably worried sick.”

Eiru reached out and patted Liru on the head. The girl obediently rubbed against her palm, then after politely saying goodbye, she quickly ran off until she was out of sight.

“So nice. Little Ya used to be this obedient too. In the end, now all she knows how to do is mess around and throw tantrums.”

Watching Liru’s disappearing figure, the Demon Lord thought of how her younger sister used to be a little angel.

“Lu Brat.”

While she was sighing, the familiar voice coming from not far away pulled Eiru back to reality. She turned her head and saw a figure walking toward her.

“Mmm… hug me.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord stretched out both arms and showed Yuki a lazy, spoiled expression. The mount had arrived. She did not need to walk anymore.

“You’re really lazy.”

Skillfully lifting Eiru up, Yuki smiled and lightly scraped his finger across his little girlfriend’s nose.

“That said, why have you been coming here every day these past few days? Aren’t you afraid of water? Or is there something here that caught your attention?”

“The sunlight here is nice. And being afraid of water, I’m not going down there anyway, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the river breeze. This area is also one of the places with the best air quality in Huanghai.”

Resting her head against Yuki’s shoulder and rubbing against it, Eiru did not mention that she had made a new friend here.

Of course, the reason for not saying it was simple. This new friend was only nine years old. As a tough guy, she was afraid that saying it out loud would make people look down on her.

Age gaps were not a joke. Kids might interact with older children out of admiration or yearning, but how many people were willing to play around with someone much younger than themselves?

Friendships across generations were rare, and they mostly happened between adults who had already turned into corporate drones. In the minds of underage kids whose mentality was not yet mature, playing with younger children was a sign of childishness and something to be looked down upon.

Of course, the Demon Lord did not think Yuki would look down on her for it. But face still mattered. And more importantly, she did not want Yuki to see her as a child. Even though the way she was acting spoiled right now was not much different from a kid.

“Fine, I won’t care anyway. Just don’t cause any trouble again.”

Yuki adjusted his arms, confirming that the girl was sitting steadily. With one hand protecting her back, he walked toward a small sedan by the roadside.

“We’re home.”

Pushing open the dorm door, the two silver-haired figures greeted the two roommates inside in unison.

“Tsk, the young couple finished feeding people dog food outside and came back to keep feeding it?”

There was a strong sour lemon tone in Ziyu’s voice. But actually, lemons were quite appetite-stimulating. Presumably, someone could eat even more dog food.

“Aunt Mu, you’re actually back? You’re not going on a date with Xue something… oh right, with your little Xuenan?”

Noticing that someone who usually was not in the dorm at this time was present, Eiru jumped down from Yuki and ran over to Jixian, gossiping curiously.

“She has her own things to do and her own social circle too. How could I possibly stick to her every day?”

Jixian’s mouth twitched.

“You think everyone’s like Bro Yuki, turning into superglue and sticking to people all day?”

“Be reasonable, okay? I give her plenty of space. What do you mean superglue?”

Hearing Jixian describe him like that, Yuki immediately became unhappy. He was extremely attentive to Lu Brat, and he kept the distance that should be kept properly, alright?

“But that said, Lu Brat really doesn’t have any social circle besides the few of us. Aside from her pile of idiot online friends.”

“You can just say I have no friends, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord rolled her eyes at Yuki and shrugged indifferently.

Eiru looked lively and outgoing, but she actually had a bit of social anxiety. Aside from being a social butterfly online, her initiative communication with others was either out of politeness or out of necessity, and it always stayed on a superficial level. Of course, that did not include the times she was being mischievous and messing with people.

However, if others took the initiative to talk to her, Eiru would respond. Combined with the fact that she was not good at dealing with other people’s advances, while it was impossible for this girl to actively seek you out as a friend, as long as you showed a bit more enthusiasm, it was actually very easy to be accepted by her.

Some people might ask about Liru. Although a certain Demon Lord was interested in her for unknown reasons, it was actually because the other side first came to her that their relationship became familiar.

“But Aunt Mu, there’s still no progress with her, huh? Be more proactive and bold. I think with the guaranteed win buff of a childhood sweetheart who drops from the sky, the other side shouldn’t have any reason not to respond to you.”

Using her unique thought process, Her Majesty the Demon Lord dragged the topic back again.

“Lu Brat, play fewer GAL games. And those two at most count as childhood sweethearts who were separated for a while. It hasn’t reached the level of dropping from the sky. Besides, she’s more like a high mountain flower. Aunt Mu’s situation isn’t that easy.”

Complaining about his little girlfriend, Yuki also joined in the analysis.

‘No, is that really the point? Doesn’t ‘childhood sweetheart who drops from the sky’ usually refer to girls? And why do you know so much, Bro Yuki? Dare you say you haven’t played fewer of those games than the little princess?’

While muttering internally, listening to the exchange between the two silver-haired figures in front of him, the expression on Jixian’s face grew increasingly strange.
