Demon King – Chapter 429 – The Little One Still Has No Name Today

After hearing the story of that stone, and learning the origin of the little one, Ziyu once again began his embarrassing performance…

“Please! Just give me a girlfriend! Turning Gulu into a catgirl works too!” ¹ Ziyu has the same wish as mine!

“Meow?!”

A chill ran through the big cat, which let out a strange cry. Shuddering violently, it shot up the ladder and burrowed straight next to the girl.

As for Jixian sitting on the chair, although he did not show anything obvious, he still felt a stir in his heart after hearing that. He started secretly calculating whether he should make a wish, maybe have this little one bless him so he could successfully win over Xuenan or something…

“Ziyu, Gulu’s already neutered…”

“Then isn’t that even—”

Before Ziyu could finish, his forehead took a solid hit from a Demon Lord’s tail.

“Humans can’t, and at the very least, they shouldn’t!”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord said righteously while rubbing the big cat’s head beside her.

“Why not? Brother Yuki can hook up with a little demon, so why can’t I hook up with a little catgirl?”

Ziyu-style grievance.

“First of all, I’m the Demon Lord! Second, it’s me hooking up with Stupid Yuki, not Stupid Yuki hooking up with me… no, wait, anyway, it’s not him hooking up with me! I’m a macho man!”

The little Demon Lord immediately corrected the mistake in Ziyu’s wording, but the more she talked, the more she tied herself into knots.

“Gui?”

The little one, born not long ago, had no idea what these living treasures were doing. It simply tilted its head, continuing to act cute and maintain its curiosity toward everything around it.

After gaining normal senses, the little one no longer needed to use its special magic power to sense people’s psychology. Since it now had a more convenient way to interact with the outside world, it decisively deleted that skill.

1… 2… Skill Telepathic Perception has been forgotten. The little one successfully learned how to properly use the five senses.

Without the ability to directly read thoughts, the little one needed to relearn everything around it. In its current state, it was no different from a newborn baby… except that it did not cry and fuss all the time, which was a good thing.

When it was first activated by Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s magic power and finally freed from being a stone, the little one had been extremely excited. And knowing nothing at all, combined with the sense of closeness it felt toward Eiru, it had immediately treated the silver-haired pair it saw first as its parents.

So Eiru and Yuki’s mood right now was pretty complicated. They had not even officially become a couple yet, and they were already raising a kid? Although more often than not, they still treated the little one as a pet…

Of course, with most of her memories and knowledge sealed away, Her Majesty the Demon Lord naturally did not know the little one’s specific relationship with her. She could feel that there was some kind of connection between them, but she simply regarded it as a fellow demon race member.

(Eiru: That’s not right. I’m clearly a native human of this world who turned into a Demon Lord later on. Who the hell is a fellow townsman with this thing!)

But none of that affected the little Demon Lord raising it as a pet. Although its ability to interfere with how surrounding things developed was quite dangerous, it was also true that only she could keep this little one in check.

In the end, the trip yielded no real gains, but she somehow picked up a strange creature as a pet. This little one was not picky either. It could even eat plastic bags if you showed it, which in a sense made it quite environmentally friendly and easy to raise.

“Hey, come up here. Let me rub your tail a bit.”

The little Demon Lord shook her own tail and issued an order to the little one. Putting everything else aside, that squirrel-like fluffy tail really did feel nice to stroke.

Perhaps because of the special connection between them, compared to its confusion and curiosity toward others, the little one was always able to understand Eiru’s words and obediently follow her commands. Sure enough, before Eiru even finished speaking, it was already flapping its wings and flying onto the bed.

“How about giving it a name? Calling it hey-you-all-the-time isn’t very convenient, right?”

This was not the first time Yuki had suggested naming the little one, but Eiru clearly had not taken it to heart. After all, she could casually call out, and it would know whether she was calling it. To her, there really was no difference.

“Then I’ll call you Dog Egg.”

As she spoke, Her Majesty the Demon Lord reached out and patted the little one’s back.

Before the people below could even start complaining about this naming genius’s level of laziness, the usually obedient little one showed its displeasure.

The little one kept shaking its head, its tiny cheeks puffing up. It was obvious that, understanding exactly what Eiru had said, it was extremely dissatisfied with the new name she had given it.

“Then Cat Egg? Meow Egg? Woof Egg?”

The little Demon Lord, too lazy to think, tossed out a series of bizarre names one after another.

“Lu Brat, if you’re hungry and want to eat egg waffles or something, I can go to the cafeteria and buy some right now…”

Yuki finally could not help but complain. ‘Are you picking a fight with eggs or what?’

“Fat Dog, Fat Cat…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord immediately changed course and removed the word egg from the names. But with her brain refusing to turn, there was no way she was going to come up with anything normal.

“Don’t just give it random names because it looks like both a cat and a dog. And compared to a dog, doesn’t it look more like a fox?”

“Aren’t foxes canines? So that makes it a dog.”

Eiru reached out and rubbed both Gulu and the little one. Her lazy posture paired with her deliberately annoying remarks carried a faintly punchable vibe.

“Alright, let’s stop discussing names. We’ll talk about it later.”

Yuki hurriedly ended this fruitless topic. If he let the girl upstairs keep going, who knew what even more outrageous names might come out.

“Little one, come give me a hug… and while you’re at it, find me a girlfriend! Or you can turn into a girl yourself, that works too!”

Ziyu spread his arms, still obsessing over his desire to get out of being single.

However, without the special connection that Eiru had, the little one could not understand a word Ziyu was saying. Now perched on Eiru’s head, its face was full of confusion, with even a hint of what the hell is this guy doing.

“He says he wants to find a girlfriend, and that it can be anyone.”

Enjoying the fluffy comfort on her head, Her Majesty the Demon Lord narrowed her eyes and acted as Ziyu’s interpreter. Though the content of this translation seemed a bit…

“Yeah yeah yeah, I want a girlfriend! As long as I stop being single, that’s fine! I don’t want to keep eating dog food anymore!”

Not knowing the glorious deeds of that stone, Ziyu did not realize the seriousness of the situation at all. Instead, he nodded frantically to confirm it.

After hearing Eiru’s translation, the little one was first confused. Then, after seeing Ziyu nodding in confirmation below, it stood up on Eiru’s head…

“Holy shit, that’s blinding! Does that mean I have hope of getting out of being single?!”

If he had been half-doubting at first, once the purple-blue glow began radiating from the little one and filled the entire dorm, Ziyu’s heart was filled with joy. This time, it was real.
