Demon King – Chapter 436 – The 1503 Food Chain

“Eh? Pretty good today, huh. You didn’t run off anywhere.”

The moment he stepped into the dorm, Yuki noticed a certain silver-haired girl on the bed staring at him with a gaze full of resentment, and he could not help teasing her.

“How was I supposed to run? You’ve got the ring…”

Cheeks puffed out, she stared daggers at the person below. Her Majesty the Demon Lord was curled up on the bed like a cat, looking like she would pounce and attack at any second.

“Robber, pervert, lolicon, bastard…”

“Be reasonable. Didn’t you hand it to me yourself? I didn’t snatch it…”

Yuki rubbed his forehead, trying to argue, but then thought about it again and realized there was not really any point or room to argue anyway.

“You tricked me into giving it to you! I’ll bite you to death!”

As she spoke, the fluffed-up Demon Lord arched her back and lunged straight at him. That whole feline hunting posture was so standard that even the real big cat nearby would have to applaud.

“Eh, good girl.”

Faced with the aerial ambush from above, Yuki simply opened his arms and steadily caught her, smoothing her fur as he did.

No matter how perfect the posture and movements were, this girl was not actually a cat. No claws, no sharp fangs, plus Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s ridiculously light weight and embarrassingly weak strength. After all that, it just amounted to delivering herself straight into someone else’s arms.

“I’m going to bite you to death, you’re bullying me…”

Her cheeks puffed up even more, and she was already making the same purring sound as a certain big cat, but it was useless. In the food chain of Dorm 1503, she, Eiru, was below Yuki. No way around it.

“Good girl, good girl.”

Rubbing the little girl’s head in his arms, years of raising cats combined with teasing girls meant Yuki was already extremely practiced at this.

“Alright, hurry up and put me down. If they come back and see this, it’s embarrassing…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord lightly punched Yuki on the shoulder, urging him to stop once he had ruffled her enough and put her down.

As a macho man, if her roommates or childhood friends saw this shameful scene, it would be seriously humiliating. How was she supposed to survive in the future like that?

After placing the girl, whose face was full of dissatisfaction and resentment, onto a chair, Yuki was just about to leave when a slender tail was extended in front of him.

“The ring. Give it back to me…”

She swayed the tip of the tail placed in front of Yuki as she urged him. After all, without the ring, she really felt uncomfortable all over.

“No. You can have it back after you behave.”

“Then what counts as behaving? I’m obviously very well-behaved, okay!”

Eiru slammed the table and stood up from the chair. Using the height of the chair, she could finally be at the same eye level as Yuki.

“No. You’re too naughty. You don’t listen, and you don’t take care of your own body.”

Yuki shook his head and refused her request.

Because he doted on Eiru too much, he did not dare to really do anything harsh to her. But for matters like this, he had to give her a deep lesson. Taking away the ring was probably the best punishment at this stage.

“I’m telling you, without the ring I can’t even use magic. That means I don’t have any way to protect myself at all, you know?”

Seeing that force would not work, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly changed her fluffed-up attitude and switched to a calm, negotiating tone.

Of course, this was a lie to Yuki. Having the ring taken away at most meant she could not use her authority. It did not affect her ability to use magic. Although Eiru knew she could not really fool Yuki, it would still take time to see through it. As long as she could trick the ring back first, that was all that mattered.

“Lu Brat, actually, the way you are right now…”

Yuki just held his forehead and sighed, completely not falling for the trap the girl had set.

“When you lie now, it’s even easier to tell.”

“Huh? What? Is it? Where?”

Even though she knew she could not fool him, being seen through so quickly still surprised Eiru.

“In the past, when you lied, at most after a little while you’d show some subtle restlessness, and then your fingers would go curl your hair…”

Having known her for so many years, whether in girl form or male form, Yuki had completely seen through these little habits of hers.

There were still some other signs, but those two were the most obvious. And Eiru herself knew about them too, so Yuki did not plan to say more.

“Yeah, but that still takes a while, right? Seeing through it on the spot is way too outrageous…”

She asked in confusion. Originally, the Demon Lord’s plan was to trick the ring back first, but being exposed on the spot was not something she had expected.

“Because now you’ve got two extra things.”

Yuki pointed at the wings and tail behind Eiru.

“The tip of your tail has been drawing circles in the air this whole time.”

“No way! After my true form was exposed, I never lied in front of you! How could you possibly know what that reaction means!”

The Demon Lord slapped the back of the chair hard. She had not even noticed this habit herself. How did Yuki even pick up on something like that?

“But you’ve been nervous.”

Yuki patted her on the head.

“Trying to lie to trick me is another point for being not well-behaved. So the ring definitely can’t be returned.”

“Ugh…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord instantly wilted. Then her little head suddenly spun, and she thought of a new great way to ask for the ring back.

“Give it back to me, okay. You’re the best to me, right?”

Her tail wrapped around Yuki’s waist as the Demon Lord suddenly transformed into a clingy cat, lying against his chest and acting cute.

“Right? Husband.”

Her little face rubbed against Yuki’s neck. With the succubus bloodline in her body, she actually picked this sort of thing up pretty quickly.

“Wow. What’s this now? A coquettish little succubus offensive?”

Yuki did not hold back as he pulled her into his arms.

“This move is very effective. You succeeded…”

“Then…”

Joy lit up in Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s eyes, only for the next second to be drenched head to toe by a bucket of cold water.

“You succeeded halfway. I won’t hold what you did earlier against you, but the ring still can’t be returned. Because you’re not well-behaved.”

“Where exactly am I not well-behaved?!”

Eiru fluffed up again. She pushed hard with both hands, trying to get off him.

But she discovered that the person in front of her would not let go no matter what. No matter how much strength she put in, she could not push him away. Held tightly in his arms, without using magic, Eiru’s little bit of strength was no match for Yuki at all.

“You came to me on your own. How could I possibly let go? Succubus abilities are too strong, I can’t restrain myself. Be a good girl and let me replenish some Demon Lord elements. Let me absorb some loli.”

Yuki said with a grin, one hand reaching down to his waist and grabbing that tail that was just about to loosen and make a run for it.

“Hey, wait! This isn’t how the script goes! I acted cute to get the ring back, not to seduce you!”

Eiru panicked. This move was completely delivering herself into the wolf’s mouth. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, she had actively sent herself in…

“Wait, stop! Stop! I don’t want the ring anymore! Can you pretend I didn’t act cute just now? I really didn’t use succubus abilities. There’s no reason, there’s no reason at all!!!!!”

But no matter how she explained it, to the current Yuki, whether that girl had used succubus powers or not was no longer important at all.
