Demon King – Chapter 464 – Someone Is Trying to Poach Her

“The happy water’s finished. Let go of me first, I’ll go get you another cup too…”

After quite a while, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly struggled a bit, signaling that she was going to leave for a moment.

After all, monster movies are about big scenes and watching monsters. This one was clearly padding its runtime with emotional scenes from non-monster perspectives most of the time. Eiru had zero interest in that, so she planned to take this chance to restock on happy water. Otherwise, just dry-munching chips was way too uncomfortable.

“Buy cola if you’re buying cola, but don’t take this chance to secretly do anything weird, got it?”

Yuki let go of her hand. He knew this girl had certain unavoidable needs in some aspects, but this was a public place, so it was still necessary to warn her.

“Or should I go instead? Or I’ll go with you…”

“No need. I’m not that shameless. This kind of thing can be suppressed temporarily with magic anyway. And I’m just buying cola. I’ll be back soon.”

Waving her hand to reject him, and to avoid blocking other viewers’ sightlines, the little Demon Lord crouched low, using her small stature to quickly slip between the rows of seats before leaving the theater.

“Honestly… even if you didn’t bend over, with your height you still wouldn’t block anyone.”

Watching his little girlfriend leave, Yuki muttered quietly, then shifted his attention back to the big screen.

Anyone who’s been to the movies knows that in most theaters, stuff like cola and popcorn is usually sold outside the ticket checkpoint. If you run out to buy it, you’re probably not getting back in.

That said, those snack stands are actually not far from the checkpoint. Not many people do it, but if you pay a small errand fee and ask someone at the entrance to bring stuff in for you, it’s not impossible.

So Her Majesty the Demon Lord planned to use that method. She paid a few yuan as an errand fee and asked someone outside to bring her two cups of cola and some snacks. But when she reached the checkpoint, she spotted a familiar figure.

“Tsk, why do I see you everywhere?”

The little Demon Lord looked at the ‘acquaintance’ beside her who was also planning to ask someone to buy things, her face full of disgust.

“What kind of thing is that to say? We haven’t seen each other in a while, have we… I’m just here to watch a movie.”

The corner of his mouth twitching, Agui, who had been offline for who knows how long, also hadn’t expected to run into this silver-haired girl here.

“By the way, how did you think about what I said last time?”

While waiting for the person outside to bring their stuff over, Agui showed a subtle smile and suddenly dragged out a certain inappropriate topic from before.

“I still consider you a friend for now, so I’d advise you not to joke about that kind of thing…”

Eiru rolled her eyes at him.

“My guy at home doesn’t agree, so don’t even think about it.”

“No way? You actually told him?”

“Obviously. He’s my boyfriend, after all. Isn’t this the kind of thing you need to ask for his consent on?”

The little Demon Lord put one hand on her hip and looked at the person beside her with an unhappy expression.

Agui looked completely dumbfounded. His understanding of this girl’s pure and stupid level had just been refreshed. So this girl was dumb enough to dare tell her boyfriend about something like that? And her boyfriend didn’t react much after finding out?

“Are you two really a couple? I’m kind of confused by you guys…”

While feeling bewildered, Agui was also screaming internally that this was bad.

No wonder her attitude toward him today was full of disgust and coldness. So her boyfriend knew already. No good, he needed to think of some kind of remedy. Who knew what her boyfriend had warned her about.

“Tsk, I’ll explain it to you briefly, so you won’t come bother me with this weird crap again.”

Just as Agui was worrying, an impatient voice from the girl rang out.

Rubbing her head irritably, and to cut off this guy’s thoughts once and for all, Her Majesty the Demon Lord briefly explained the story and nature of her relationship with Yuki. Of course, anything beyond common sense was definitely left out.

While they were talking, the cola and snacks they ordered were also brought over by the person outside. After getting their things, the two of them continued chatting as they walked back toward the theater.

“So that’s how it is. He really does like you a lot… but toward him, you’ve always just felt brotherly, best-buddy kind of feelings, huh?”

Nodding, Agui organized the information in his head, trying to sort out something useful from it.

“More importantly, you… don’t tell me you actually have a girlfriend?”

Eiru’s attention, however, was on the two cups of drinks Agui was carrying. Clearly, he wasn’t here alone.

“Of course not. I’m just a single dog. Compared to girls I can’t get along with, I’d rather have you be my girlfriend.”

Agui laughed loudly, not sure if he was joking or serious.

“Give it a rest. Stupid Yuki already said it, you’re just lusting after my body. If I didn’t think you were still okay to talk to and could be a friend, I would’ve kicked you out long ago.”

Eiru showed nothing but disdain toward Agui’s advances. If you really liked me, how could you have made that kind of weird request that day?

“Well, you can’t put it that way. If I didn’t like you, why would I lust after your body?”

Agui said in a flippant tone.

“Anyway, I do have a pretty good impression of you. It’s just that knowing you have a boyfriend makes me feel a bit unwilling to accept it.”

“Huh?”

That straight ball left Eiru stunned, her footsteps stopping for a moment.

“Honestly, I also think it’s a bit of a pity. He likes you, you don’t like him. It feels like you’re wasting each other’s time… but since it’s your own choice, of course I’ll respect it.”

Seeing that his offensive seemed effective, Agui struck while the iron was hot, trying to instill certain ideas into her.

“It’s not like I don’t like him. Don’t make me sound like some scumbag girl stringing him along… I’ve tried hard to like him too, okay? I don’t want to let down how much he likes me.”

Having her sore spot hit, Her Majesty the Demon Lord lowered her head, her expression somewhat dejected.

“I’m not saying that about you. I just mean dragging it out like this isn’t good either… if it really isn’t suitable, then it’s better to cut it cleanly.”

“You’re trying to incite me to break up?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord revealed a dangerous expression.

“If that’s your goal, I’d advise you not to stir up trouble.”

“No no, I’m just analyzing it for you properly… You don’t want to leave his side right now. Since it’s not because you like him, then what is it?”

Agui hurriedly denied it and began laying out his reasoning.

“It’s just because he’s one of your very few closest friends, and you don’t want to lose him… but if things really stay like this with only one-sided feelings, breaking up is just a matter of time.”

“When that happens and you lose him, you won’t even have someone by your side anymore… wouldn’t it be better to keep some distance now while you haven’t crossed the line, and find a guy you actually like instead?”

“For example, I’m not bad at all. If we got together, then even if he ended up liking another girl later, you’d still have me to keep you company, right…”

Agui kept talking endlessly, while the little Demon Lord lowered her head in thought. For a while, no one could tell what was going through her mind right now.
