Demon King – Chapter 522 – Under an Ordinary Daily Life…
When Yuki returned to the dorm, he found a certain girl holding her phone and talking away, humming and responding now and then. She looked like she was having a pretty good chat.
“Alright alright~ no problem no problem. I’ll go with you.”
“Aren’t you someone who doesn’t like making phone calls?”
After Eiru hung up, Yuki asked her. He had felt that she had been on the phone more often lately, which was pretty unusual.
“I don’t really like it, yeah, but I can’t exactly stop people from calling me, can I?”
The little Demon Lord shrugged.
“Look at my call log. It’s all incoming calls. I barely ever make any, okay?”
“Did Little Ya ask you to go out with her again? Didn’t she get grounded? She can still go out?”
What Eiru had said on the call was heard by the two of them. Based on the content, Jiaqi immediately thought of that unlucky grounded girl.
“Nope. It’s the Wulong loli. Just something I promised her before…”
“Wulong loli? Who’s that?”
Jiaqi obviously didn’t know Yunyan and scratched his head in confusion.
“Just a girl who’s just as dumb as her. You don’t know her.”

Yuki patted Jiaqi on the back, then turned to look at his own little girlfriend.
“Is it the thing where she went drinking with her boyfriend and asked you to go with her?”
“Yep. But who are you calling dumb? You’re the dumb one, okay?”
Her Majesty the Demon Lord finally realized someone had been badmouthing her and immediately blew up. She fluttered her wings and floated into the air, glaring down at him from above.
“Alright, enough about that. You remember what we agreed on before, right? You’re not allowed to sneak off by yourself.”
With both hands on the girl’s shoulders, Yuki very naturally pressed her back into the chair and started tidying her incredibly nice-to-touch hair.
“Hey hey hey, did you mess something up? What did I tell you before? Lu Brat is really bad with alcohol…”
Jiaqi got a bit worked up. If he heard right, Yuki was planning to take his childhood friend to drink. What was he trying to do? Don’t tell him he was planning to take advantage of her after she got drunk…
“Relax. I won’t let her touch it. She’s not suited for that stuff.”
Yuki cut him off.
“Don’t think weird things. I’m more afraid she’d go crazy after drinking and beat me up.”
“Get lost. I’m not drinking that stuff. And even if I did, I wouldn’t have such bad drinking manners. Even if I went crazy, I wouldn’t hit you.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt she was being underestimated. As someone who considered herself a macho man, she naturally felt she had to argue this properly. Besides, she was theoretically someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Anything that went into her mouth couldn’t possibly affect her.
“Then why are you hitting me right now?”
Looking at the girl smacking his arm in protest, Yuki immediately teased her.
“You’re asking for it, aren’t you? I’ll smash you…”
“Knees?”
Jiaqi couldn’t help tossing in a cheap line. The little Demon Lord who was rolling up her sleeves froze on the spot.
“You’re dead. I can fly. I’ll smash your head right now!!!”
Once again suffering a critical hit due to her height, Eiru jumped up and started hammering her sharp-tongued childhood friend’s head. Of course she held back. Otherwise, with one real punch, something would seriously happen.
“By the way, what about Little Eiya? Didn’t you promise to take her along?”
Watching Eiru beating Jiaqi up, Yuki sighed helplessly and suddenly remembered that kid.
“Huh? Her… I really want to take her too, but she can’t leave the house. What can I do?”
Her Majesty the Demon Lord spread her hands, wearing an annoyingly flippant expression.
“So it’s not like I’m going back on my word, right? She can just stay home and be a princess. Her dear big brother here will send her photos of going out to have fun. Probably. If I remember.”

“You’re so scummy…”
Looking at the girl patting her flat chest, the two guys complained in unison.
—————
The days that followed were pretty ordinary. Nothing major happened. Aside from the dorm supervisor still dropping by for surprise inspections from time to time, though the frequency was much lower…
The silver-haired couple in dorm 1503 were showing affection every single day. Meanwhile, the relationship between Xuenan and Jixian seemed to have returned to how it was before. Only Ziyu, the lone single guy, was forced to swallow double portions of dog food every day, feeling extremely miserable.
“Hey… didn’t you say before that someone in your dorm brings his girlfriend back?”
Holding Jixian’s hand, Xuenan asked tentatively. She wasn’t sure how far her plan had progressed and needed to pry some information out of him.
“Yeah. What about it? Those two are showing off their affection every day and souring the other guy in our dorm to death.”
Thinking of Ziyu’s expression like he had swallowed an entire lemon, Jixian couldn’t help but laugh. Forget brotherly bonds. Real brothers love seeing each other suffer.
“He still… brings his girlfriend back every day? I feel like that’s not very appropriate.”
Xuenan frowned, unable to understand the situation for a moment. So even now, that Yuki and that girl still hadn’t been caught?
‘No way. Does their dorm supervisor not check this kind of thing? I already reported it. And from how Jixian puts it, they bring her back pretty often. There’s no way they wouldn’t get caught, right?’

Of course, she could never imagine that the entire dorm 1503 had never once worried about whether Eiru would be exposed. The reason they were driven so crazy was mainly because there were two small animals being kept in the dorm. A mere dorm supervisor had no chance of ever catching that Demon Lord.
Hearing Xuenan’s question and feeling her grip on his hand tighten a little, Jixian came back to his senses and looked at the person beside him with concern and confusion.
“I’ve wanted to say something about it too, but they’re a loving couple. There’s nothing I can do. And their situation is kind of special. I can’t really say much about them.”
To be honest, even though Eiru was raised as a boy and her non-human identity couldn’t be judged by common sense, Jixian still felt that a girl living among a group of guys was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.
That said, everyone’s character was pretty decent, and none of them had any strange thoughts about her. Of course, a big part of that was because they had treated her as a brother from the start. That preconceived notion made it hard for them to develop any ideas.
You can’t exactly have ideas about a good bro, right? Yuki was a special case. His relationship with Eiru had long gone beyond that of normal friends or bros. If you swapped one of their genders and put them together, it wouldn’t be strange at all.
“What kind of special situation? Is there something special about them?”
That piqued Xuenan’s curiosity. Aside from what her plan required, she was already full of curiosity about that silver-haired girl.
“Huh? That… I don’t really know either. I just say it like that, but it’s not really my place to dig into other people’s private matters…”
Realizing he had let something slip, Jixian decisively started playing dumb.
Even though the person beside him was the one he loved, Jixian still knew clearly what could be said and what couldn’t. Not to mention he had already promised Eiru and Yuki to keep things secret. Once that girl’s situation got out, it would definitely cause a huge impact…
