Demon King – Chapter 45 – Happy Birthday Demon Lord! (Part One)

The two brown-haired beauties sitting in front of Yuki and Jixian were twin sisters. The older sister’s name was Su Qianmeng, and the younger sister’s was Su Qianchen.

Qianmeng and Yuki and Eiru attended the same middle school, while Qianchen went to a different middle school. Because they were in the honours class, you could tell that both sisters were top-performing students. But why they chose Seventh High, a third-rate school, was something only the two of them knew…

Su Qianmeng had a quiet, shy personality with a gentle nature, and she rarely spoke. Her sister Su Qianchen was much livelier, with a bit of a tomboyish personality who could quickly get along with anyone.

“In that case, count me in. Sis, are you going?” Qianchen looked at Qianmeng beside her, who nodded slightly in agreement.

“Count my sister in too. Should we call Xiao Yue as well?” Resting her chin on her hand and making eye contact with her sister, Qianchen considered whether to invite her close friend.

“Wait, that’s the great Demon Lord Eiru we’re talking about. Aren’t you scared? And who’s this Xiao Yue? Is she even in our class?” Jixian fired off a series of questions, while Ziyu and even Yuki looked somewhat surprised.

Eiru’s title as Seventh High’s Great Demon Lord, though no one knew who coined the term, was pretty popular at the school.

Forget first-years—even second-year upperclassmen would be wary of hearing that name. In the three boys’ view, these two sisters’ reaction was indeed abnormal…

“Ah? Xiao Yue is Yue Yue… She’s not in our class, but she’s a classmate of that Great Demon Lord you mentioned.”

“So why aren’t you afraid? Even graduated third-year alumni are somewhat scared of him, right? Do you know him?” Ziyu asked the question all three were thinking.

“If you guys aren’t scared, why should we be? We don’t really know him, but Xiao Yue definitely does. We’ve at most seen him twice—something happened last semester and we owe him a favor.” As she explained, Qianmeng beside her nodded in agreement from time to time.

“So we’re skipping school? Should I call Xiao Yue and ask?” Because they trusted the honours class students, no teacher would come during this period. While asking, Qianchen pulled out her phone…

“We were originally planning to grab the cake and climb over the wall to escape, but with you girls along, that won’t work anymore. Let’s just wait until dismissal.” Jixian shrugged helplessly.

“Looking down on women? It’s just climbing a wall—Xiao Yue and I could do it in minutes…” Halfway through her speech, Qianchen suddenly felt someone tugging her sleeve. Turning around, she found it was her sister…

“Qianchen, sister can’t climb walls… maybe we should…” Speaking weakly, Qianmeng turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly.

“Don’t worry, if you want to go, I’ll definitely take you! No wall climbing then—we’ll just go after school.” Covering her sister’s cheeks with her hands and turning her head back to face her, Qianchen said seriously.

“Honestly, sometimes I really can’t tell which is the older sister and which is the younger…” Watching the sisters interact, Ziyu moved closer to his two roommates and muttered quietly.

In the pastry shop, the Demon Lord pressed her finger to her lips, staring intently at a pastry chef behind the window who had just finished a cake.

It was the ice cream mousse cake she wanted to eat the most, and it even had mango on top. The sweet-toothed little Demon Lord was practically drooling…

Watching the large cake in front of her get packaged and handed to a delivery worker, then loaded onto a motorcycle and driven away, Eiru could only look away. Puffing out her cheeks, a certain Demon Lord’s face was full of grievance and unwillingness…

“I want to eat a big cake too…” Muttering at a volume only she could hear, Eiru went to the cashier and showed her phone with the order number to the staff.

“Alright, your cake is already packaged. Here it is, little sister.” After confirming the order number, the cashier took out an exquisitely packaged small box from behind.

No matter how exquisite the packaging, it was still just a small box. Compared to that big cake from before, it was like a plain crepe with no toppings next to a five-layer luxury burger.

“These small cakes are usually afternoon tea desserts… Is this a gift for someone or for yourself?” Handing the box to the excessively adorable little loli in front of her, the staff member couldn’t help but reach out and pat Eiru’s little head.

“No, it’s my birthday today. This is my birthday cake…” With that additional blow, the little Demon Lord felt even more wronged. But no matter how wronged she felt, there was nothing she could do—who told her to be poor…

“Ah, sorry, sorry…” Realizing she seemed to have hurt this little loli’s feelings, the staff member quickly searched for ways to make amends.

Clapping her hands together, the staff member turned to open a small display case beside her, then took out a packaged small bag and handed it to the girl.

“Eh?” Somewhat confused as she accepted the bag, Eiru looked inside to find some small cookies.

“Sorry about that. Consider these a gift from big sister. Happy birthday, little sister.” Pressing her palms together with some apology in her voice, the Demon Lord received her first birthday blessing of the day.

“Thank you, big sister!” Having been at the pastry shop for so long, the little Demon Lord finally smiled. Seeing the girl’s smile, the staff member was momentarily dazed.

In quite a good mood, the little Demon Lord skipped along on her way home. Her already adorable looks combined with her lively appearance drew quite a bit of attention from passersby.

Arriving downstairs at her rental building, even though many people had noticed her, she didn’t encounter any problems on the way back. The Demon Lord carried her cake and small cookies, bouncing up the stairs…

Reaching her door, Eiru hummed a little tune while reaching into her pocket to find her key and prepare to open the door…

Just as the key entered the lock, noisy sounds came from the stairway. Turning to look, the Demon Lord saw six people emerging from the stairwell, walking toward her while chatting and laughing.

Seeing who it was, Eiru’s eyes widened and her humming stopped, looking like she’d just seen a ghost. At the same time, the group also noticed the little Demon Lord opening her door…

Maintaining the pose of inserting the key into the lock, our Demon Lord froze in place, completely losing her ability to think…
