Demon King – Chapter 552 – The Demon Lord Preparing to Run Away

With her daily schedule completely flipped, even by the time her parents got off work and returned home, that certain loli was still sunk deep in dreamland…

“Stupid Yuki… so stupid…”

“How did you two siblings discuss it?”

After coming back, Liu Wan went straight to her daughter to ask about the family trip.

“She said she doesn’t want to go, so I’m not going either. I can’t just leave big bro alone at home, right?”

Thinking of how down her sister had looked earlier, Eiya really couldn’t bear to leave her alone at home. Skipping one outing was fine. Staying behind to keep her company was better.

“You didn’t try to persuade him? Didn’t you really want to go out? You kept pestering your dad and me about this… forget it, I’ll go talk to him.”

Liu Wan made to go find her son to discuss it, but Eiya grabbed her arm.

“He’s still sleeping. Don’t disturb him for now.”

“What time is it already? Flipping day and night like this, what kind of behavior is that?”

Using fixing her schedule as an excuse, Liu Wan still planned to go in and drag someone out of bed.

“Mom, let him sleep…”

“Alright alright, I’ll listen to you, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go talk to your dad about something.”

Having no way to deal with her daughter, Liu Wan could only give up on waking Eiru and instead walked into her own room to discuss things with the person inside…

Just as Liu Wan said, having been cooped up at home for so long, Eiya really was getting stifled. So she was genuinely looking forward to this family outing.

But with Eiru not going, she still felt like something was missing. Even though she was usually pretty immature and often made mistakes, once she realized she was wrong she would correct herself… after those previous lessons, she really couldn’t bear to let her sister suffer any more grievances.

“Well, staying home and playing is fine too… anyway, the goal is to help sis patch things up…”

Lying on the desk and fiddling with the pen in her hand, Eiya showed a slightly helpless smile. The current Eiru really was like a child, making people unable to resist wanting to dote on her… vaguely, this silver-haired loli lying on the desk already showed signs of turning into a full-on sister-con.

It wasn’t until close to twelve that Eiru finally woke up from her dreams. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she had just returned to her room when she saw her mother sitting on her bed, clearly waiting for her.

“Mom, what is it?”

Sighing inwardly, seeing this setup, the little Demon Lord already knew her purpose. Either she was here to issue a notice, or to issue an ultimatum.

“The day after tomorrow, the whole family is going out to play together. I told you about this already, right? I’m notifying you to get up early then and go out with your sister… got it?”

“Didn’t I already say I’m not going?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt a bit speechless, but it wasn’t like she could flip out over something like this. She could only patiently explain.

But her dear mother didn’t respond at all. After dropping the notice, she walked straight out of the room, with no intention whatsoever of considering her opinion, instantly giving the person left behind a massive headache.

‘Whatever, you do you. I’m not going anyway… what, are you going to drag me out of bed then? If worst comes to worst, I’ll go hide at Stupid Yuki’s place tomorrow… what, are you going to go there and grab me?’

Thinking like that, Her Majesty the Demon Lord locked her door, flopped onto the bed, grabbed her phone, and planned to talk to her dear little boyfriend about today’s events.

“Totally OK. I’d love for you to come stay a couple of days. I’ll figure out a way to get my mom out of the house!”

“Hey, you really are a model of filial piety…”

Seeing Yuki’s baffling message, the Demon Lord couldn’t stop herself from wanting to complain.

“Just kidding. My mom’s going out of town for work these next few days. It’s just my dad at home, and he can’t wait to drink the wedding wine from me and you.”

(Officer Li: ??? I never said that. You little bastard, don’t put words in my mouth.)

“Uh… anyway, my mom’s still forcing me to go tomorrow, so I’ll go hide at your place for a couple of days. I don’t want to go out and play. It’s tiring, troublesome, and there’s nothing fun anyway.”

“Then should I tidy up the room for you in advance? I’ll just wait here for you?”

Looking at the message Yuki sent, every word between the lines overflowed with anticipation for her arrival. Eiru could practically see how excited he must be in front of the screen.

“No need for that. I’ll just sleep in your room… or what, do you dislike sleeping together with me?”

“No way! That’s even better! I haven’t hugged my wife in so long, sob sob sob, wife I miss you so much.”

“Fuck off, stop being so cheesy, thanks!”

Yuki’s syrupy words gave Eiru a full-body case of goosebumps. Even if that’s what she typed, in terms of how much she missed him, she wasn’t really any better.

“Do you want me to pull an all-nighter with you today?”

“No, just go to sleep properly. I’m only staying up because I don’t want to see my parents… you don’t have that kind of problem, do you?”

“But wife, being alone at night, won’t you be lonely, desolate, and cold, needing your dear husband me…”

“Get lost, and also! I’m the husband! Pay attention to our respective status!”

“You finally remembered to correct that?”

This kind of exchange was pretty much routine between the two of them. In terms of how they communicated, aside from Yuki occasionally blurting out some cheesy love lines, everything else was pretty much the same as before, still carrying that flavor of bickering buddies.

After chatting for quite a while, seeing that Yuki was starting to lose steam, the little Demon Lord sent him off to bed and ended the chat. Only then did she realize that her own stomach was growling.

“Huh? I forgot to eat dinner? Truly worthy of me!”

With a hop, Her Majesty the Demon Lord jumped out of bed and headed to the dining area to look for the food her family had left for her. While at home these days, she was basically eating just this one meal a day, then going back to her room to slack off until dawn…

“Have your dad take you downstairs to buy some snacks and other things. Tomorrow everyone’s going out to play together.”

The next evening, after dinner, Liu Wan suddenly tossed out that line to Eiya.

“Huh? Didn’t we say we weren’t going? Why are we suddenly going again… could it be that big sis is going?”

Eiya was a bit confused, but even more surprised and delighted. She had already planned to rot at home, and suddenly she could go out and play?

“Mm, she agreed. It’s vacation, you kids should be going out more… go buy the stuff first, I’ve already bought the tickets… and your Cousin Miao and the others are coming too. Quite a lot of people are going this time, it’ll be lively.”

“Oh oh! Dad, Dad, let’s go!”

Overjoyed, Eiya didn’t notice anything amiss. After putting on her shoes, she grabbed Ei Yuan’s hand and rushed out of the house, heading downstairs for a big shopping run.

Watching her daughter so happy, Liu Wan showed a doting smile. Looks like this girl really had been stifled at home lately. She really did need to be taken out more.

With that side notified, what remained was… looking at the tightly shut door of a certain room, Liu Wan reined in her earlier tenderness, replacing it with an air of unquestionable seriousness.

‘The whole family is going out to play with your sister. How could you possibly be missing, you little brat? Especially when your sister is the one who wants your company the most.’

‘Trying to run? Not a chance.’
