Demon King – Chapter 550 – Did the Brat Actually Do a Great Deed?

“Showing off huh? Go on, keep showing off? Weren’t you super hyped just now?”

Gently poking her sister’s cheek with a finger, her tail swaying back and forth, Eiru looked at the unresponsive Eiya lying on the bed with a playful expression.

“Trying to fight me? You’re still way too green.”

The moment she reverted to her true form, the little demon’s nature was fully unleashed. Her smug tail was practically sticking straight up into the sky.

Because she was afraid of hurting this idiot girl, Her Majesty the Demon Lord did not dare use either magic or the combat techniques she was skilled in. But without those, plus all the extra concerns, to say something embarrassing, she honestly might not even be able to beat her sister. Roughly a three to seven split. Yeah. Three for her, seven for Eiya.

But a Demon Lord has a whole pile of strange and weird abilities. At her core, she was a caster. And a caster should act like a caster, not rush in headfirst like some guy obsessed with fighting in red form.

The silver-haired loli on the bed who looked almost asleep was Eiru’s handiwork just now. She had made her sister fall asleep, but not completely asleep.

“You can hear my voice, right? You can feel me poking you too, right? You’re just a little sister, got it? Realize your mistake yet?”

The Demon Lord looked completely like a victor. This round was big sis, no wait, big brother educating a naughty little sister, protecting the dignity of a macho man.

Eiya on the bed was gritting her teeth in fury, but even that could only stay in her head. Her dear sister had only put her body to sleep while leaving her consciousness awake. Aside from temporarily losing her vision due to her eyes being shut, all other senses were fully intact.

Just you wait. When I wake up. I swear I’ll hang you up and beat you.

“Relax. You’ll be back to normal when you wake up tomorrow. If you want to sleep, just sleep like you normally do. I didn’t force your mind to stay awake.”

Eiru naturally had no idea what kind of useless rage her sister was having internally. She was doing this mainly to hurry up and get her to sleep.

Kids should sleep properly in the middle of the night. Stop going crazy.

Sitting down at Eiya’s usual homework desk, the little Demon Lord started fiddling with her phone. Yuki had said he could stay up all night to keep her company, but she rejected him. Staying up late wrecks your health.

Using the home WiFi, she explained the out-of-credit situation to Yuki through messages. But to cut off any thoughts of him staying up late to accompany her, she did not top up her phone credit and also forbade Yuki from topping it up for her, forcibly pushing him to go sleep.

But once everyone was asleep, the Demon Lord became bored. Aside from petting Hulu’s fluff as it hopped around, this night was destined to have no entertainment at all.

The next morning, as the first cry of a child rang out from outside, a bleary-eyed Eiru lifted her head from the desk.

Ah, the little nephew is awake. Once they get up, I should be able to go back to my room and sleep. With that thought, Eiru yawned, switched back into her male body, and went to the living room to wait for her room door to open.

But reality slapped her hard in the face. Her uncle and aunt simply put the awakened little brat outside the room, then went right back to sleep with their heads covered, leaving her completely dumbfounded outside.

No adult would just leave a small child alone outside to run around. Her uncle and aunt had raised their own child by hand, so there was no way they would make such a low-level mistake with their little grandson. Which meant their intention was obvious. There was Eiru in the living room. Let him watch the kid after waking up.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me. I’m the worst at dealing with kids.”

Watching the two-year-old little devil hopping around by her legs, the Demon Lord’s head was about to explode.

It was not until ten in the morning, with her head constantly bobbing like a dragonfly touching water, that Eiru finally heard a door open. Looking up, she saw that it was actually her father who had gotten up.

“Little Lu, go sleep in my room for a bit.”

Seeing how exhausted his son looked after not sleeping all night, Ei Yuan patted his shoulder, signaling that he could go sleep in his room.

Shaking her head, the Demon Lord decisively rejected the proposal. If she fell asleep, she would not be able to maintain her male body. If her dad went back into the room to grab something and found a silver-haired loli lying on the bed, that would be a huge problem.

“Stop being stubborn. If you’re not used to sleeping on the sofa, go sleep in my room. Your mom went to work. There’s no one there, no one will bother you.”

Ei Yuan’s tone grew a bit firm. No matter what, this was his own son. Seeing the kid like this after not sleeping all night made him feel awful.

Using her exhausted brain to think for a bit, Eiru pointed at the little nephew playing nearby, using him as a shield. Someone had to watch the kid. No sleeping.

“I’m watching him. You go sleep.”

“No.”

“Eiru.”

Ei Yuan was already a bit angry. He could not understand what exactly his son was being stubborn about.

It was the same when riding in the car. Even though he got terribly carsick, the kid still stubbornly refused to sleep. Even though these were small details, Ei Yuan truly could not figure out what his son was doing.

“I… I’ll go.”

Pissing off her dad would only cause trouble. The Demon Lord immediately caved, but she already had a plan in mind.

She would first go to her dad’s room and just rest with her eyes closed. Or wait until her uncle and aunt came out, then relocate. Worst case, wake her little sister and have her cover, then go sleep in her room.

Dragging her exhausted body, Eiru slowly walked toward her father’s room. Watching his son’s back, Ei Yuan suddenly felt a sense of confusion.

‘He looked the same as always, but his walking posture and habits… was it just an illusion? Why did Little Lu, at one meter sixty tall, look like a little girl when he walked?’

Only after the room door closed did Ei Yuan withdraw his doubts, shifting his attention back to the little brat in the living room. Kids around one or two years old were the hardest to deal with. One moment of inattention and something could easily go wrong.

“Ugh… so sleepy, but I can’t sleep…”

Flopping onto the bed like a salted fish, Eiru felt the mattress beneath her like a magical abyss, making her body feel completely unable to move.

‘No, I can’t hold on… no, I can’t sleep, but the bed is so comfortable, I really want to sleep… Eiru, you have to get up. You can’t fall to the bed like this…’

Her mind a complete mess, even though the little Demon Lord tried her best to keep her consciousness intact, from the moment she lay on the bed, her awareness kept drifting away uncontrollably.

‘I’ll be discovered… no, Eiru, you can’t sleep. You’re a Demon Lord. You have to hold on… Zzzzzz…’

But at this critical moment, the living room suddenly erupted with a child’s cry like an air raid siren, instantly jolting the Demon Lord awake.

‘Holy shit, the brat actually saved me?’

Thinking that, the Demon Lord felt a wave of lingering fear. If she had fallen asleep just now, she would have been done for. No, no. This kid absolutely deserves a reward. He’s getting two packs of candy.
