Demon King – Chapter 431 – Ziyu Tormented by Mosquitoes

A few days passed, and life for the members of Dorm 1503 did not seem to change much… aside from the dorm now having one extra little guy who was not picky at all.

Since it was the first time officially coming into contact with the outside world, the little guy’s curiosity was off the charts. Sniffing here, touching there, wanting to experience absolutely everything.

“That’s Gulu’s canned food! Hey! Don’t bite it!”

“Holy shit my homework! Don’t eat my book!”

“Stop stop stop, that’s eye drops! You don’t drink that!”

That overwhelming curiosity had Dorm 1503 thrown into chaos every now and then. Especially when Eiru was not around and there was no one acting as a translator, the few guys truly got an early taste of how painful it was to take care of a kid…

“Fuck, it’s finally behaving. I’m dead…”

Ziyu slumped back into his chair, wiping nonexistent sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand as he sighed.

“Compared to this, Gulu is actually really well behaved…”

Looking at the big cat sleeping obediently on the desk, the guys all thought the same thing.

Jiaqi had originally been part of the group too, but after witnessing just how mischievous the little guy was, he decisively slipped away and ran. After all, he did not live in 1503 anyway.

“Goo yi~”

After playing itself out, the little guy curled into a ball, using the big cat beneath it as a flesh cushion, closed its eyes, and went to rest.

“It really needs to learn to understand human speech as soon as possible. Otherwise when does this ever end?”

As one of the parents, Yuki was completely exhausted. This brat was way harder to handle than a certain loli.

“Speaking of which, aren’t you going out with your little wife today?”

Seeing that Jixian was just as wiped out, Yuki suddenly shifted the topic onto him.

These past few days, Jixian had been launching a more proactive offensive toward Xuenan. Although he had not confessed yet, the relationship between the two of them had indeed taken a huge step forward.

Holding hands, eating together, casually going out to buy things… Even though they had not made things official, judging from how glued together they were every day, they were basically already there.

So the fact that Jixian was not accompanying his almost-girlfriend today and was instead staying in the dorm to help take care of the kid was quite surprising.

“Xuenan went out of campus with her friends. As a grown guy, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to butt into a group of girls…”

Jixian smiled awkwardly. Leaving space for the other party was something he understood.

“But I still envy you, Bro Yuki. Your little princess basically hangs out with guys all the time. There’s no circle you can’t blend into…”

Honestly, when it came to this, pretty much every guy who had a partner would envy Yuki. There were no issues of mutual misunderstanding or being unable to integrate into each other’s circles.

“Even though that’s true, that’s actually what gives me the biggest headache…”

Hearing his roommates’ words of envy, Yuki sounded helpless instead.

Think about it. A girl who hangs out in a guy’s circle every day is bound to have contact with other guys, right? Your wife playing with other guys all the time would make anyone’s feelings complicated.

Yuki knew Eiru’s special circumstances, and he understood that she could not possibly have those kinds of thoughts toward other guys. But with possessiveness at play, he still did not really want Eiru getting too close to other men.

On the other hand, Her Majesty the Demon Lord barely played with girls either. Yuki also knew that if he really interfered, Eiru would basically have no social circle left at all, which would not be a good thing for her.

So even though Yuki had a headache over it, he would not actually interfere. But whenever there was a chance, he would definitely stay by her side. Not just for protection, but also to give the girl some confidence and a sense of security.

“Be grateful. You guys all have wives. I’m the miserable one here. Even with the little guy’s buff, I still can’t pick up any girls.”

Ziyu complained as he reached out and slapped a buzzing mosquito to death beside him.

“These past few days have been weird too. There are way too many mosquitoes. I even went to the convenience store to buy two bottles of mosquito repellent.”

“Really? But in our dorm you’re the only one with type O blood. With you here, we’re not scared at all.”

Hearing this, the other two mercilessly teased him.

“Be human. And besides, isn’t that stupid loli working outside also type O blood?”

“Let’s not even talk about whether mosquitoes bite demon race type O blood. Her body temperature is 20 degrees, and what she exhales is not carbon dioxide either. Mosquitoes can’t even find her.”

Yuki smiled slightly as he stated a cruel fact.

“Just be a good little mosquito-attracting night light. Sacrifice yourself and bring happiness to the whole dorm…”

Jixian said with a laugh as he patted Ziyu on the shoulder.

“Fuck you, is that how you talk to your dad?”

“Son, are you crazy? I’m your dad!”

Watching the two of them get into another scuffle, Yuki covered his face and opened his tablet, clearly already used to this…

—————

“Golden oolong milk cap, one cup each~ Half sugar, no ice~”

In the evening, the little Demon Lord returned from her milk tea shop part-time job, also bringing some drinks back for her roommates.

“And one more cup, I’ll go give it to Stupid Qi~”

As Eiru spoke and was about to turn and leave the dorm, Yuki pressed her down from the side.

“I’ll go. You stay here and rest first…”

“Oh…”

Watching Yuki’s back as he left the dorm with the drinks, Her Majesty the Demon Lord quietly scooted her head over next to Jixian.

“What’s up with him? He feels kind of off…”

“Jealous, obviously. What else could it be…”

“But I was just bringing milk tea. What is there to be jealous about?”

Demon Lord-style confusion.

“You’re still young, you don’t understand… When you grow up then…”

“You’re the one who’s small!” Her Majesty the Demon Lord instantly blew up. She hated it most when people said she was small. Even though, in every sense, she really was quite small.

“First, age-wise, I’m the same age as you. Second, who calls a macho man small! I’m telling you, if I pulled it out… Oh, I don’t have one. Never mind.”

As she spoke, Eiru suddenly wilted completely…

“????”

Jixian was utterly dumbfounded. There was no way he did not understand what a certain girl meant.

Up above, Ziyu, who was spraying mosquito repellent everywhere, also froze in place. They knew that this girl had been raised as a boy, but this was way too open, right? Did she have some kind of gender identity disorder?

(Yuki: Yes, she has intermittent gender identity disorder, and it’s very severe.)

“Damn it, so why are there so many mosquitoes!”

Up above, Ziyu was once again dragged back to reality by the buzzing near his ears. I clearly sprayed mosquito repellent, alright? There’s no reason for this! Where are so many mosquitoes coming from in this weather?

“Maybe there’s something especially attractive about you~”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord stuck out her tongue, quietly glancing at the little guy on the desk…

Author Note

Fun fact: mosquitoes that bite people are all female~

Translator Note

Author really have grudge against Ziyu TvT

But setting that aside, I’m happy Ziyu doesn’t get a gf, otherwise I’ll be the only miserable guy left…
