Demon King – Chapter 49 – The Offline Big Cat Comes Back Online!

Translator Note

Thanks Enncie for the chapter!

The three of them actually collectively raised Gulu in the dorm. They generally split Gulu’s expenses and cared for him equally, though Yuki, being relatively well-off, contributed a bit more…

Normally Yuki went home on weekends, so weekends were handled by Ziyu and Jixian, who lived far away and stayed at school as boarding students.

However, what a coincidence!—this weekend, everyone from room 1503 had to go home. With no one in the dorm, nobody else could take care of Gulu.

“None of our three families allow cats, so we can’t take him home. We can only leave him at your other place…” Yuki smiled helplessly, left with no other option.

“I don’t mind, but how do you guys usually handle holidays? You’ve had this cat for a while, right?” Hearing this, Eiru was somewhat puzzled—how had these people hidden the cat during winter break?

“Actually, not that long—just this semester. It’s just that Gulu is very affectionate, so you’re probably under the illusion that we’ve had him for ages…”

“What? Then what about summer vacation? Haven’t you guys thought about it?” The little Demon Lord was shocked—hadn’t these people considered the problem of summer and winter break?

“Not ‘you guys’—’we.’ You’re part of room 1503 now, so Gulu is your cat overlord too…” Putting his arm around Eiru’s shoulder, Yuki looked like he was successful in draggin Eiru in.

“By the way, the reason why you were able to move into room 1503 was partly because there happened to be an empty spot, but the real reason was because I suggested to the school that they bring you in…”

“Holy crap! You dragged me onto a pirate ship!” Hearing this, the Demon Lord yelled. Had his best friend deliberately dragged him into this for the sake of this cat?

“Don’t overthink it. Without bringing you into 1503, do you think with all those rumours about you, you could get along well with others?” Seeing through Eiru’s thoughts, Yuki quickly explained.

“I could, right? Look how well Qianmeng, Qianchen, and Yue Yue get along with me.”

“So you want to live in the girls’ dorm? Don’t let me stop you!” Yuki said, while making a ‘please go ahead’ gesture.

“That’s not impossible…” Eiru muttered quietly, expressing disdain.

“What? You really want to go? Even if the school doesn’t kick you out, those girls definitely will!” Shocked by his best friend’s inappropriate thoughts, Yuki quickly tried to dispel Eiru’s abnormal ideas.

“You still haven’t explained to me—what about summer vacation? Next Thursday and Friday are our finals, then summer vacation starts immediately. Are you planning to put that cat in a pet hotel?

It was already mid-July. After next week’s final exams, they’d be done with school. The following Monday they’d pick up their grades, then summer vacation would begin… If they didn’t handle Gulu quickly, there’d be big problems.

“Summer vacation is indeed a problem. Gulu doesn’t eat cat food, and I can’t possibly leave him at a pet hotel. How about…” Before finishing the second half of his sentence, Eiru decisively interrupted Yuki.

“Don’t even think about it. You know my status at home. Even if I raised a rabbit, my parents would kill someone… let alone such a big cat.”

“No, no, no, I mean, since no one’s here anyway, why not just leave Gulu here?”

“Huh? I’m going home for summer vacation—I can’t stay here every day. Forget about just caring for it daily, what if it starts wrecking the place? Who is going to stop him?” Eiru firmly refused. This big cat pounced at the sight of her tail—who knew what else it might do.

“Relax, Gulu is very well-behaved.”

“I don’t care. No matter what happens today, I will never agree to that cat staying here!” The Demon Lord showed a determined attitude, indicating that even if the sky fell, she wouldn’t budge an inch…

“Then I’ll trouble you with this. I’ll move everything upstairs. Remember to give him a bath—the shampoo is in this bag…” Ten minutes later, Yuki set down what he was carrying, finished explaining the important points, waved goodbye, and escaped.

Holding the abandoned big cat, the little Demon Lord and Gulu stared at each other, both wearing bewildered expressions.

They were around fifteen to twenty minutes away from school on foot, so Eiru had wanted to make things difficult by saying she’d agree to let Gulu stay the weekend, if Yuki could bring the cat within 20 minutes.

But, who knew that Yuki would have come prepared? He’d already stored Gulu along with a pile of necessary pet supplies at the downstairs security office.

Seeing the cat show up before her in less than five minutes, Eiru felt only regret. After knowing each other so long, her little schemes had been completely seen through by him…

“I won’t be gentle when giving you a bath, so behave yourself… though this is also my first time bathing a cat.” Halfway through speaking, Gulu suddenly felt himself slowly sinking down. The boy holding him had suddenly transformed into a loli.

As for why she was holding rather than hugging him—Eiru thought that he was dusty. She’d be mad if she got her formal uniform dirty…

Wrapping her tail around the cat-specific shampoo, Eiru carried Gulu to the bathroom. So while sometimes inconvenient, having a tail was really handy in daily life!

Setting down the big cat and closing the bathroom door, the little Demon Lord also began undressing. Since she was going to bathe anyway, might as well wash together. Better than having this cat unsupervised outside, potentially wrecking the house while she bathed.

As for being seen naked… it was just a cat anyway, so who cared if it looked? Having mentally prepared herself, the Demon Lord didn’t really mind.

Turning on the shower to test the water temperature, the little Demon Lord picked up the big cat from the floor. Closing the glass door, both person and cat began enjoying their warm shower…
