Demon King – Chapter 50 – Plans in Preparation

The little Demon Lord felt that her best friend was quite reliable… Since he felt comfortable enough to entrust the task of bathing Gulu to her, despite her complete lack of experience, it meant that it should be easy, right…?

Sure enough, Maine Coons weren’t just unafraid of water—this breed particularly loved playing in water. Combined with Gulu’s especially good temperament, the bathing process went quite smoothly without any mishaps.

After washing Gulu, the little Demon Lord sat on a small stool washing her hair while Gulu splashed in a basin of warm water in front of her, occasionally leaning in to rub against her legs. It was actually quite a relaxing shower, which was completely different from other cats, where their baths more resembled a battlefield.

“I’m starting to wonder if you’re actually a dog…” Rinsing the foam from her hair, the Demon Lord wrapped her waist-length silver hair in a towel.

“Meow!” Gulu suddenly jumped out of the basin and pounced into Eiru’s arms.

“Ah! Don’t be so sudden! Your wet fur is making me all itchy!” The little Demon Lord was currently completely undressed, and the big cat’s damp fur making direct contact with her skin made the ticklish girl giggle uncontrollably.

“Next door is at it again… Really, so improper.” From an unknowing neighbor.

The little Demon Lord’s reputation went even lower.

The little Demon Lord in her nightgown held Gulu while blow-drying its long fur. The big cat in her arms curled up obediently, showing no fear of the hair dryer—clearly not its first encounter with this device.

“You’re not really a dog, are you?” Not being afraid of water or baths was one thing, but not even fearing the hair dryer—this guy’s behavior didn’t seem like a cat at all.

Complaints aside, at least Gulu being well-behaved saved Eiru a lot of trouble.

After all, with ordinary cats, even if she could use magic to enhance her strength and forcibly hold them down, if she stressed out the cat too much, it could be dangerous. There were quite a few cats that had literally been scared to death by baths and hair dryers because they were too stressed…

Lying on the bed holding Gulu, the Demon Lord was quite happy having such a fluffy thing to hug. Though the teddy bear was also fluffy, it couldn’t compare to the warm feeling of holding Gulu—much more comfortable to hold…

Speaking of which, there were still several pieces of cake left—she’d take out another piece to eat later. Reminiscing about the cake’s taste, the little Demon Lord couldn’t help but almost drool. No good, she’s getting too greedy.

“Mmm~” Suddenly burying her face in the big cat’s fur to nuzzle, startling Gulu into a couple meows before quickly settling down.

“But what about you during summer vacation… I’d quite like to take you back if possible. Eiya would probably be happy, but mom and dad would definitely kill me…” Talking to herself, this Demon Lord was now treating herself as Gulu’s owner.

There was also the convention issue—how should she handle that extra ticket? She didn’t know who she could go with…

The 500 yuan Yuki offered to sponsor was ultimately declined by the Demon Lord… After all, she wasn’t someone who liked freeloading off others. Always being taken care of by someone else made her feel embarrassed.

As for whether to buy memorabilia at the convention… Honestly, aside from official booth merchandise and some artists’ works, or other booths’ items—take body pillows for example—were not only expensive but of worse quality than just buying it online.

The always frugal little Demon Lord wouldn’t waste money on such things. For memorabilia, she couldn’t afford the artists’ works anyway—participating in official activities for small prizes would be enough.

“Better see who I can go with first, don’t want to waste the tickets.” Muttering while pulling out her phone.

Just opening her WeChat, she discovered her game guild group was in an uproar. Looking closer, these people were indeed discussing convention meetups.

Eiru actually played quite a few games, including several mobile games. The one she’d entered now was her main PC game guild group.

Though not very large in scale, the guild was pretty famous in-game. Whether PVE or PVP, they were among the top-tier guilds.

Being a small guild made up of friends, relationships between members were actually quite good. Eiru had been there quite a while and could be considered a veteran member.

“Convenience Store bro, are you going to Huanghai’s convention this time?” Catching this line, the little Demon Lord’s interest was piqued.

‘Convenience Store’s’ game ID was 71—who knows why this person used numbers for their ID. The group connected this ID with a real convenience store chain and gave him this nickname, which he’d accepted…

‘Convenience Store’ was Eiru’s longtime in-game duo. The pair had achieved certain accomplishments in both PVP and PVE, gaining some fame across the entire server. The Demon Lord was quite concerned about whether her old duo would come or not.

“Not going, didn’t get tickets. Total loss. You guys go—I wanted to see Qiandong Loli’s real appearance.” The reply came quickly, and everyone could feel the resentment from the other side of the screen.

“Get lost! I’m a tough guy! Not a loli! I need to correct my image! When we meet, you’ll know you were wrong!” The tragic player called Qiandong Loli was still getting called a loli by everyone else.

Internet friends were like that—the more you tried to seem like a tough guy, the more they’d treat you as a loli. Though honestly, no matter what you did it happened anyways.

Whether vehemently protesting or silently showing disdain, nothing could change the established image. From the moment you were labeled as a loli, your behavior and attitude no longer mattered…

Incidentally, our Demon Lord, due to her usual carefree online persona and having used her male voice in group voice chats, was considered a standard shut-in boy by guild members.

Seeing he wasn’t going, the little Demon Lord was somewhat disappointed. She’d quite wanted to see her old partner’s real appearance.

Getting up from her bed, the Demon Lord took a piece of cake from the fridge while opening his private chat window…

(PS: Gulu has already been neutered, so whether it’s male or female doesn’t matter…)
