Demon King – Chapter 530 – Clearly Roommates, Yet the Relationship…

From far away, Xuenan had already spotted that beautiful silver-white long hair. Filled with delight, she was just about to go over and continue building rapport with that adorable girl when she suddenly noticed an unexpected figure beside her.

“You two… how do you know each other?”

Seeing Eiru sitting so intimately on Yunyue’s lap, Xuenan clenched her teeth slightly, feeling a mix of unwillingness and resentment, like a beloved toy was about to be snatched away by someone else.

Did Yunyue hear her descriptions and then deliberately go over to get close to her? No, that did not seem right. She herself had never even hugged this child before. From how things looked, these two must have known each other for quite some time already.

‘Who do you think you are, daring to be this close to Lulu?’

Xuenan’s gaze toward Yunyue was practically shooting flames. Meanwhile, the latter still looked completely baffled. After all, who would expect that simply making a friend could offend someone?

“You didn’t tell her? Aren’t you roommates?”

Seeing Xuenan’s puzzled expression and the subtle atmosphere between the two, the little Demon Lord leaned close to Yunyue’s ear and asked quietly.

“It’s actually pretty awkward. Our dorm relationship isn’t that good… usually we just exchange a couple of words at most. We’re basically acquaintances who are barely familiar.”

Yunyue looked embarrassed. Honestly, having this kind of relationship with your roommates was pretty shameful.

Because of how tight-knit everyone in 1503 was, Her Majesty the Demon Lord found it hard to understand such a situation. Living under the same roof, spending so much time together, wouldn’t you naturally become close? At the very least, closer than ordinary friends, right?

But when she thought about how Yunyue had been isolated by her classmates for an entire year, Eiru felt that maybe she could understand after all. Still, Xuenan’s fiery glare felt a bit excessive. Did the two of them have some kind of grudge?

The sight of the two whispering to each other only further stirred Xuenan’s emotions. She closed the distance in a few quick steps and reached out, trying to pull that girl off her roommate’s body. But the movement was too sudden, and instead of succeeding, she startled Eiru, who directly dodged Xuenan’s attempt to grab her wrist.

“Lulu, be good and listen to me. The person behind you used to be from the Problem Class, you know… At Seventh High, nobody should be unaware of what kind of people are in that class, right?”

Realizing that she had scared the other party, Xuenan quickly adjusted her demeanor and began speaking gently, reasoning with the girl.

“Those who stay close to vermilion turn red, those close to ink turn black. Lulu must not learn bad things from people like that, okay?”

“Um… even though I’m a bit small, I’m not a child, right?”

The little Demon Lord felt uncomfortable with Xuenan’s coaxing-a-kid tone. And saying that right in front of Yunyue, was that really appropriate?

“And I used to be in the Problem Class too, you know? We were classmates back then…”

“Huh? Don’t mess around, Lulu. Didn’t you say you’re in the Honor Class now? In the same class as Li Yuki and the others?”

Xuenan looked like she was hearing complete nonsense. Going straight from the bottom-tier Problem Class to the Honor Class? If that were true, even cheating in a game wouldn’t be this outrageous.

“It’s true. We were even desk mates.”

Yunyue said as she reached out, holding up both of Eiru’s palms with her hands. There was more than a hint of pride in her expression and tone.

She was not someone easy to bully either. Normally she just could not be bothered to argue over trivial things. Being generous was one thing, but that did not mean she was a punching bag.

Besides, she was usually polite and courteous toward Xuenan. And now this woman was deliberately slapping a label on her in front of her good sister? If you show no mercy, then do not blame her for returning the favor. Naturally, Yunyue was not about to give Xuenan a pleasant expression.

“Hahaha, you think I don’t know?”

Xuenan laughed as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world. Desk mates? Honestly, there were not many people in the entire grade who did not know who Yunyue’s desk mate was.

“Look at this girl, then think about what you just said… Your desk mate was that Seventh High demon king Eiru…”

Halfway through her sentence, Xuenan’s laughter stopped, because she suddenly realized something. This silver-haired girl in front of her seemed to be named Eiru too.

Because she simply could not connect the harmless-looking girl in front of her with that infamous demon king everyone at Seventh High knew, she had never made the association when the girl introduced herself as Eiru before.

“You… you’re that one who skips class, gets into fights outside school, beats up teachers, and even looted the school’s exam archive… that Eiru?”

Looking at the innocent, harmless girl before her, Xuenan would never believe she was the number one legendary figure of Seventh High.

“What exactly have I been rumored to do…”

The little Demon Lord was already too tired to complain about these rumors.

‘The first parts were still manageable, but what the hell were the later ones? Why not just say I robbed a bank?’

“So now you get it. We’ve known each other for a long time. Since you think everyone from the Problem Class is beyond saving, then isn’t she the same?”

Resting her chin on top of Eiru’s head, Yunyue’s words were filled with blatant provocation. Those things you just said happened to insult your ‘dear Lulu’ as well.

“That’s impossible. You’re just a little girl. How could you possibly have done those things?”

Xuenan did not even think this girl could beat her in a fight.

“So were all those just rumors?”

“Other than skipping class, you could say they’re basically all rumors…”

Normally she could not be bothered to explain, but since Xuenan already believed it like this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord did not mind clearing her name a bit.

“So the fighting outside school was fake too?”

Yunyue leaned in close to Eiru’s ear and teased softly.

“That one doesn’t count. They were the ones who started it, okay? I was just defending myself. They were just too bad.”

“I see. Then Lulu naturally isn’t a problem student at all. But you’re different, Yunyue. You have a record, okay? You’re a genuine problem student!”

Seeing people through tinted lenses really made a difference. Xuenan selectively ignored the part about skipping class. After clearing Eiru of wrongdoing in her own mind, she immediately took the moral high ground and started accusing Yunyue instead.

“A record?”

The little Demon Lord turned her head in confusion. Having neglected her for an entire year, she truly did not know much about her former desk mate’s past.

“Yeah. She’s been involved with those delinquents outside school. I even heard she did a lot of indecent things with those boys.”

“That. Is. My. Younger. Brother.”

Yunyue said each word through clenched teeth. Looking at Xuenan’s smug expression, if Eiru were not present, she really would have wanted to rush up and slap her twice.

“So what if it’s your brother? You being involved with that group is still true, right? Hurry up and let go of Lulu. I already feel disgusted that you’ve dirtied her.”

“You! You’re the one who’s involved with them! Are you sick?”

With her innocence being smeared like this, there was no way Yunyue could keep sitting there and taking it. Emotions surging, she immediately tried to stand up and confront the other head-on.

But just as she was about to rise, Yunyue suddenly felt a small hand press down on her shoulder, stopping her. Lowering her head, she saw the girl in her arms calmly looking at her.

‘I believe you.’

Yunyue read those words in Eiru’s eyes. Influenced by her, she slowly calmed down as well.

“Xuenan, you say Yuyue is indecent and has dealings with those delinquents outside school… do you have any evidence?”

Turning her head to stare at Xuenan, Her Majesty the Demon Lord naturally would not allow her good friend to be slandered like this. Since you think there’s a problem, then you should at least produce some actual proof.
