Demon King – Chapter 509 – Similarities Between Mother and Daughter

A few days later, just as Yuki had expected, after the initial panic passed and they discovered that aside from coughing, Eiya had no other issues, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan finally calmed down a lot.

That said, precautions were still necessary. Considering health concerns and to avoid any accidents, the two of them no longer allowed their daughter to wear wigs or dye her hair.

And now Eiya was, in the truest sense of the word, being tightly controlled. Not only did Ei Yuan personally pick her up and drop her off for school, she was not even allowed to go out on her own anymore.

Under this kind of high-intensity management, the things Eiya had previously promised Yuki and Jiaqi naturally fell through. Though honestly, what this girl cared about more was her milk tea, pudding, and ice cream.

“Wahahahaha, you’re really a little princess locked in a tower now, hahahahaha…”

On the phone, Her Majesty the Demon Lord mercilessly teased her little sister, who had come running to complain.

“How about it, jealous? Your big brother here is wandering around freely outside. Dad and Mom can’t control me at all!”

“Sis, you’re really trash…”

Eiya’s voice on the other end was full of resentment.

“I came to complain to you, okay? Can you at least care about my feelings a little?”

“What? That’s a thing? So you came to complain, huh? Don’t be scared. When your brother goes out to have fun, I’ll take photos for you. I’ll help satisfy your longing~”

The little Demon Lord said with a cheeky grin. Since her little sister was not actually in any danger, she did not need to be that restrained.

After all, what this girl regretted was just not being able to sneak out to eat snacks and desserts. There was really nothing to worry about. Normally she did not go out much anyway, so in practice it did not affect her all that much.

“I really think you’re trash…”

Even Yuki, who was grooming Gulu’s fur beside them, could not help but complain. Were these really biological sisters? This was way too fake.

“Relax, Little Ya doesn’t care about this stuff at all. As long as there’s food, she won’t panic. She’s just a little pig that only cares about eating.”

After hanging up, Eiru lowered her voice and explained to Yuki, but the person on the other end still heard it.

“You’re the pig! Like you’re not a foodie yourself! I’m telling you, next time there’s good food, you can only watch me eat it!”

‘Fine, fine, let them hurt each other…’

Yuki smiled helplessly and continued grooming the fur of the big cat in front of him. Gulu lay sprawled on the table, yawning with a lazy expression, looking extremely comfortable and satisfied.

“Your mom is really ruthless. She actually put Little Eiya under house arrest?”

After his girlfriend finished her call, Yuki could not help but complain to her.

Now he fully understood what Eiru meant by her mother’s intense need for control. He could understand worrying about her daughter, but directly putting her under house arrest was a bit too much.

“Well, actually, in this regard, Little Ya is pretty similar to my mom…”

With a plop, the little Demon Lord jumped onto the chair, clearly not surprised at all.

To be honest, even if her mother had directly made her little sister suspend school and stay home to recover, she would not have found it strange. When life was at stake, what did studying even matter?

“Similar how? Control issues?”

Yuki was a bit puzzled. In his impression, Eiya did not really show any strong controlling tendencies. She was a little spoiled, sure, but still within an acceptable range.

“Not that, okay? How should I put it? The two of them are the type who genuinely think they’re doing things for others’ good, with good intentions, but they’re extremely self-righteous. They always decide things for other people on their own, forcing what they think is ‘correct’ help onto them.”

Honestly speaking, this trait in both her sister and her mother gave the entire family headaches. Eiya was still relatively low-key and had not shown it much yet, but Liu Wan’s habit of acting on her own initiative made the two sisters the most direct victims.

For example, under the banner of tempering character and remembering hardship, she kicked Eiru out to live on her own. Or forbidding the physically weak Eiya from playing with wild kids outside. The most baffling part was that, to prevent Eiya from being led astray by bad friends like Eiru supposedly was, she even adapted the interpersonal tactics from the business world and drilled them into her own daughter.

As a result, Eiya was good at maintaining a cold, obedient good-girl image in front of others, and the fact that she never really made any friends was at least seventy percent her dear mother’s responsibility.

“The biggest difference between them is that Little Ya will admit her mistakes when she knows she’s wrong, but my mom won’t. She always thinks she’s right. Even if she realizes she’s wrong, she’ll think it’s because other people didn’t cooperate properly, didn’t adapt on the fly, that kind of thing.”

Eiru shrugged. This classic parents-are-never-wrong routine was actually pretty common in many places. It was just especially extreme in her family.

“I get it, I get it. My mom’s like that too. But if she’s really wrong, my dad will scold her. Once my old man speaks up, my mom will reflect on herself.”

Yuki said that their moms were actually pretty similar, it was just that his family situation was much better.

His fiercely competitive mother, who seemed incapable of admitting defeat or mistakes, looked somewhat cute in front of his father. Maybe that was love.

“My dad’s different. Let me tell you, my old man only ever indulges my mom. When I was little, so many times when Little Ya and I were pissed off by her and cried, it was always Dad who came to comfort us and apologize, but he never really blamed my mom. At most, he’d mention it lightly once in a while.”

“Heh. Then what do you think, in the future should I be like my dad, correct you when you’re wrong, or like your dad, indulge you and spoil you blindly?”

Yuki snorted with laughter and took the chance to tease the loli in front of him.

“Cut it out. I’m not the kind of person who refuses to admit mistakes. If I know I’m wrong, I always admit it.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord put her hands on her hips, puffing up her cheeks. Being lumped together with her mother made her angry.

“Yes, yes, you admit mistakes quickly, but you never know what you did wrong.”

Yuki reached out and gently poked her on the forehead.

“Even now, you still don’t have the slightest bit of how a girl should be.”

“No helping it, I’m a macho man~”

Eiru waved her hand.

“Expecting a macho man to play a little girl is impossible~”

‘Then who is the one who curls up in my arms every day and can’t fall asleep at night without me holding her?’

Thinking about the loli’s usual clingy behavior, Yuki did not even want to bother mocking her macho-man claim.

“Before you call yourself a macho man, please be aware that you’re wearing a short skirt right now. Don’t put your legs on the table. If someone comes in, you’ll be completely exposed.”

“Stupid Yu and Aunt Mu aren’t here anyway. It’s just the two of us, so whatever…”

“If you don’t care, then I’ll lift your skirt.”

“Wah! Get lost! You pervert!”
