Demon King – Chapter 51 – Air Conditioning Is the Demon Lord’s Lifeline

Gulu also came to the living room, but it didn’t seem interested in the cake and just jumped onto the table to lie down.

The little Demon Lord took out a small ball from Yuki’s bag and casually tossed it over… Gulu started playing with the ball on the table.

“Silly Seven-One, you there?” While putting cake in her mouth, Eiru sent a private message to her longtime gaming partner.

“What’s up, Sika Deer ¹ The sika deer (Cervus nippon), also known as the northern spotted deer or the Japanese deer, is a species of deer native to much of East Asia ?” The reply came quickly.

Sika Deer ² Shikanoko is also half sika deer I think? was naturally our little Demon Lord’s gaming nickname. However, it’s been a pretty long time since then, and she couldn’t even remember the origin of this name anymore. But having been called it for so long, she’d gradually accepted the nickname.

“You’re really not going this time?”

“How can I go without tickets? Besides, didn’t you say before that you weren’t interested and didn’t want to go? Why the sudden question?”

“Changed my mind. I have an extra ticket—give me your address and I’ll mail it to you?”

Remembering her extra ticket, Eiru thought she could consider inviting this longtime partner to go together.

“How much! I’ll transfer the money!”

“No need, just treat me when we meet…”

“Deal!”

With the ticket issue resolved, she’d also just finished the cake in her hands. The little Demon Lord stood up and stretched, then headed toward her room.

“But that convenience store guy actually lives in neighboring Qionglong City—it’s not too far to come…” Looking at the address he’d sent, Eiru casually scheduled express pickup service by mail.

Seeing Eiru about to leave, Gulu stopped playing. Picking up the ball in its mouth, it jumped down from the table and followed behind her.

“What’s wrong?” Having finished her tasks and set her phone aside, the Demon Lord stood by the bed, somewhat puzzled by the cat that kept following her.

“Chirp chirp chirp…” Dropping the ball from its mouth, Gulu made a strange noise.

Huh? What the heck? Was that a bird call? The Demon Lord was stunned, taking quite a while to react. She remembered Yuki mentioning that Maine Coons ate small birds, so they learned some bird calls.

“Nya!” Gulu suddenly leaped up. The dazed little Demon Lord didn’t react in time and Gulu jumped on top of her.

“Eh? Ah, what are you doing!” Looking at the big cat that had pounced on her and was now sitting on her stomach, the little Demon Lord couldn’t figure out what it wanted.

“Meow~” Gulu just lay there on her chest, gently nudging a certain loli’s chin with its head in an affectionate, cute manner.

“What are you…” Just as Eiru was about to get up, Gulu, sitting on top of her, sensed the person below trying to escape and stretched out its paws to firmly pin her down.

Several attempts to get up ended in failure. Afraid that she might injure the cat, Eiru didn’t dare to use a lot of force… Though honestly, without using magic, she might actually be weaker than the big cat.

So our Demon Lord stopped resisting and let the big cat on top nuzzle her all over.

“I need to brush my teeth… Get off me.”

“Meow~” Gulu lay on Eiru’s chest, sniffing and acting affectionately. You could tell that Gulu was more fond than normal of the little loli in front of it.

“Alright, that tickles, stop playing.” Being tickled by its fur made her giggle, but surprisingly, Eiru didn’t really dislike this feeling.

“Purr purr~” Hearing this, Gulu stopped playing around. The sound he made somehow seemed both happy and annoyed. The big cat now lay obediently on the little Demon Lord like a child who’d done something wrong.

“Okay, okay, I need to brush my teeth, silly cat.” While speaking, she picked up the big cat and set it aside. Our Demon Lord could finally get up…

Watching Eiru’s retreating figure, the big cat on the bed suddenly took a stance, getting ready to pounce on something like a spring.

“Meow!” Pushing off with its hind legs, it aimed directly at the little Demon Lord’s swaying tail.

“Eh~ nice try…” The prepared Eiru lightly lifted her tail, causing the big cat behind to miss completely. Not only that, the tail turned an arc in mid-air and directly wrapped around its waist, lifting it up…

“This lord won’t fall for the same trick twice!” At this moment, the Demon Lord stood with hands on hips, looking down smugly at Gulu suspended in mid-air by her tail.

“Hehe…” Setting the cat back on the ground, she turned and entered the bathroom, closing the door. Having successfully teased the cat, the little Demon Lord was quite pleased with herself.

Wait a minute, something seemed wrong. Doing something like that made it seem like her tail was a cat toy, didn’t it… The hand holding her toothbrush paused in mid-air as a certain Demon Lord suddenly felt she was the one who’d really lost.

After finishing her wash-up and walking out of the bathroom, she saw the big cat sitting obediently by the door waiting for her… Eiru crouched down and extended both hands. Seeing this, Gulu directly jumped into her arms.

“Mmm~” Returning to her room, the little Demon Lord flopped onto the bed holding Gulu, making cute sounds.

Fluffy things really were more comfortable to hug, and this one was warm too… Due to her constant 20-degree body temperature, holding Gulu felt like a hand warmer in the winter—super warm and comfortable.

It looked like the teddy bear might fall out of favor these next few days…

Due to her abnormal body temperature, our Demon Lord was both sensitive to cold and heat. Fortunately, she had the universal solution of magic power… Everyday, a considerable portion of her magic was used as an air conditioner/heater.

With the help of magic, she could wear a cotton coat in summer or run to Siberia in a tank top in winter without any problems…

Someone might ask: it was summer now, and Huanghai was in the south—wasn’t the little Demon Lord afraid of overheating while hugging Gulu?

Because she had air conditioning! The existence of AC meant that Eiru could save mana she’d otherwise use to lower the temperature indoors. As long as she was home in summer, the AC was definitely running 24/7…

Summer AC plus comforter was the basic set-up of a shut-in. The air conditioning hummed away, blowing 16-degree cold air. The little Demon Lord hugged the cat that served as a hand warmer, curled up in her comforter, and looked like she was in bliss…

“Mmm~ so warm and cozy~” With arms and legs wrapped around the big cat beside her, she felt like she could stay like this for the entire weekend.
