Demon King – Chapter 55 – Sibling Resemblance?

“What’s with that expression… Did I say something wrong?” After speaking, Eiru noticed the other person had suddenly gone silent and his expression had become a bit strange…

“You… didn’t you realize what you just said?” Seeing the girl’s confused look, Yuki reminded her.

“What did I say? It was just…” Thinking back, our Demon Lord finally realized what she’d just said.

Her face immediately turned bright red, and her eyes became swirls. Steam seemed to be rising from the little Demon Lord’s forehead as embarrassment caused her brain to blue screen.

“No, don’t faint. Wake up!” Seeing her state, Yuki started shaking her while holding her up.

“I’m dizzy, I’m dizzy, stop shaking me!” Though not very polite, Yuki’s method was quite effective, immediately bringing our Demon Lord back from mentally rebooting.

“Then I’ll ask you a few questions. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.” Seeing that she’d returned to normal, Yuki let her go.

“Who treats girls so roughly… So what do you have to ask?” Muttering a complaint, Eiru, now back on the ground, patted her skirt and signaled for him to continue.

“Are you really not Eiru’s girlfriend?”

“I could be anyone’s girlfriend, but I definitely couldn’t be his…” Shrugging, the Demon Lord said that with a helpless expression. Everything she said was true—how the other person interpreted it was up to them.

“Then you and that upperclassman today—are you together?”

“Impossible!” Crossing her hands in front of her to form an ‘X’, the little Demon Lord directly denied his statement.

“I’m a standard single aristocrat with absolutely no plans to date. Besides, I didn’t even know that guy before today.”

“You really did fight with Eiru, didn’t you? I’ll help talk to him later. He’s a bit dense sometimes—don’t take it to heart.” Making a guess, Yuki smiled and reached out to pat the girl’s head.

Thinking that Eiru could be a bit oblivious sometimes, and might have accidentally made his girlfriend angry without noticing… He’d just remind him to apologize later. Yuki thought his best friend, though mischievous, was incredibly good-natured and generally wouldn’t hold grudges.

“You dummy Yuki! How could I even fight with him! Something like that is too hard!” Since she didn’t have multiple personality disorder, the little Demon Lord was so frustrated she started pounding his arm with both hands.

“Wait, what did you just call me?” Being pummeled by the girl’s small fists with a helpless expression, Yuki suddenly noticed the way she’d addressed him.

“Dummy Yuki. Haven’t I always called you that?” Stopping her pummeling, the Demon Lord glared angrily at the person in front of her, pouting.

“No, this is the first time I’ve heard that from you… Eiru taught you that, right?” Suppressing the urge to press down the girl’s puffed cheeks, Yuki asked awkwardly.

“Ahhh… I’m clearly single! What will it take for you to believe I’m not in a romantic relationship with him?”

“How about being my girlfriend?” Stroking his chin, Yuki casually said this.

“Fine, I’ll be your girlfriend… as if I’d say that! I treat you like a brother, and you want to hit on me?” Pointing at him with one finger while placing her other hand on her hip, the little Demon Lord loudly accused him.

“Alright, alright, just kidding. I’ll just ask Eiru later… Seventh High’s surroundings are pretty chaotic, so be careful, okay?” Yuki smiled, bent down to pinch the girl’s cheeks, then handed her two packs of gummies.

“I originally bought these for Eiru. I remembered that you also like sweets, so here you go. I’ll buy more for him later…”

“Hmph… Anyway, I’m single whether you believe it or not. I’m leaving…” Clutching the two packs of candy, the little Demon Lord turned to leave.

“Also, thanks…” Her voice was very quiet, as if embarrassed. Yuki didn’t pay much attention and gave her another reminder.

“Mm, go on. Stay safe.”

“Hmph…”

At this moment, a male classmate from Yuki’s class ran over looking for him, just in time to see Eiru leaving.

“Yuki, is that your sister?” The boy came over, glancing back and forth between the two several times before asking.

“Hm?” Only then did Yuki belatedly realize that the two really did look pretty similar.

Both had silver hair and blue eyes, and after noticing Yuki’s smile, the male student became even more certain of his guess.

It seemed their grade’s top student, the great Yuki, quite possibly had a sister complex. Seeing the usually aloof Yuki show such an expression, the boy nodded, thinking everyone indeed had unknown sides to them.

“Your sister goes to our school too? She looks pretty cute.”

Honestly, the boy was also somewhat captivated by that silver-haired little loli. He quickly said some nice things, hoping to leave a good impression on his future brother-in-law.

After all, attending Seventh High clearly made her a high school student. Even though she was small, she definitely wasn’t too young.

Yuki didn’t respond, reverting to his aloof demeanor. He waved his hand to indicate the topic was closed, and the boy wisely shut up…

Meanwhile, a certain loli, after leaving with her candy and juice, was climbing the stairs as usual to head to the teaching building rooftop for her sunbathing session.
