Demon King – Chapter 47 – Can’t Think of a Title, Rua

“Ermmmm…” Eiru, now back in male form, stared at the three girls in front of him, struggling to remember who they were…

Everyone else had come to celebrate his birthday—he couldn’t just ask “who are you?” Even if they looked familiar, there was no way he’d actually remember who they were!

Therefore, the scene became quite awkward. The others didn’t know what to say either, so they could only watch as Eiru and the three girls stared at each other.

“We’ve only met a few times, so it’s normal that you don’t remember us.” Finally, Qianchen broke the awkward silence.

“He barely shows up to class—he probably doesn’t even recognize his classmates.” Yue Yue turned her face away, unsurprised by the current situation.

“That’s not true! I do recognize you! You’re that… that…” As he spoke, he supported his chin and fell into thought again.

“See? He doesn’t even know what my name is. He just shows his face in the morning at school, then disappears for the whole day.” Shrugging, Yue Yue had an ‘I knew it’ expression.

“Well, we can just get to know each other now.” Ziyu played the role of peacemaker.

“I should probably explain, or it’ll be too awkward.” After exchanging glances with her sister, Qianchen finally began explaining the whole story.

The area around Seventh High was quite chaotic—this was common knowledge throughout Huanghai’s East District. It was fine on campus, but once you left the school gates, it was somewhat common to be harassed by local delinquents.

The Qianmeng and Qianchen sisters were famous beauties at Seventh High. Compared to boarding school students, as day students who had to go home, they were harassed much more by the local delinquents. Though the school paid great attention to the honours students’ safety, and had security guards escort day students a considerable distance, it was impossible to prevent one hundred percent of the time…

The two sisters were on their way to school once when they were running late. To save time, they chose to cut through an alley… As a result, some thugs seized the opportunity and cornered them inside.

At the critical moment, Eiru, who was also running late, ducked into the same alley. Seeing a group of delinquents surrounding someone and blocking his path, he yelled at them in annoyance.

The yelling worked—the group’s attention immediately shifted from the sisters onto Eiru. The hot-tempered ones were already swinging their bats and charging forward…

The outcome was predetermined. The little Demon Lord wasn’t human at all—even in disguise, she wasn’t something a mere group of thugs could handle. Without even being touched, the entire group was already beaten to the ground.

“What the hell? So violent?” Clapping his hands and clicking his tongue in annoyance, Eiru’s gaze shifted to the two sisters.

“Are you okay?”

“We’re… we’re fine.” The sisters, who had thought of Eiru also as a delinquent, breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the two with a confused gaze, even if they looked a bit familiar, Eiru wasn’t interested in them. Bending down to pick up his backpack, Eiru jogged away from there…

“Oh, it’s you two!” Eiru slammed the table and stood up. “Thanks to that incident with you two, people started spreading all sorts of weird stories!”

“That was only one time? At most that was the start of the rumours… It spread because you got into several more fights with them afterward.”

“If it weren’t for that time with you two, I wouldn’t have kept fighting with them! It’s all your fault! Give me back my reputation!”

“Alright, stop embarrassing yourself.” Yuki pressed down on Eiru’s head, making him sit down. “They came to thank you and celebrate your birthday—don’t make a scene.”

“Tch…” Lying on the table, Eiru looked displeased.

Yuki was also helpless. Though his best friend was quite reliable in getting things done, sometimes he acted like a little kid.

“Anyway, thank you for that time. Xiao Yue was the one who told us who you were…” Saying this, Qianchen turned to smile at Yue Yue.

The sisters had later tried to find Eiru to thank him, but discovered they couldn’t find this person anywhere on campus. Later, when Qianchen told her close friend Yue Yue about this incident, Yue Yue confirmed Eiru’s identity through those strange campus rumors.

But both Eiru and Yue Yue were part of the ‘problem class’. In contrast to the honours classes, Seventh High had specifically created two classes to house problem students and those with hopeless grades.

As honours class sisters, it really wasn’t appropriate for them to go to the ‘problem’ class. There was serious animosity toward the honour students there, and even if they went, they probably wouldn’t find Eiru, who always skipped class.

Finally finding an opportunity to interact with Eiru, the sisters decisively brought Yue Yue along for support, using the birthday celebration as an excuse to come thank Eiru.

“No need to thank me—I wasn’t there to save you. If they hadn’t blocked the road, I probably would have just walked past…” Waving his hand, Eiru indicated he was really just a passerby.

“Also, we met your girlfriend—she’s super cute, but she was a bit shy and ran away… Could you introduce us? We’d like to get to know her too.” Qianchen suddenly jumped topics, catching Eiru off guard for a moment.

Huh? Girlfriend? Do I have a girlfriend? Eiru looked around, bewildered by what they were saying. It took quite a while before he realized what this so-called ‘girlfriend’ was about.

This is bad, bad, bad! He’d only wanted to brush it off then without thinking it through. Now he was screwed—he’d be labeled as a loli-con! How could he introduce her to them!

The Demon Lord was completely flustered. He couldn’t tell them he was dating himself, could he?
