Demon King – Chapter 553 – Writing Empty Checks on Both Sides

“I already said I’m not going! What the hell are you doing!”

Waking up to a notice that they were leaving tomorrow genuinely made Her Majesty the Demon Lord angry this time.

“Didn’t you promise your sister you’d go with her? If you hadn’t agreed, she wasn’t even planning to go. Do you know how happy she was when she heard you agreed? And now you’re changing your mind at the last minute?”

“????????”

This one really broke Eiru’s brain.

‘When the hell did I ever agree to go with my sister? So you thought me saying I wasn’t going to you was just tsundere bullshit?’

Just as the little Demon Lord was thinking about going to Yuki’s place to hide for a bit and had barely finished drafting her escape plan, her mother’s next sentence stunned her on the spot.

“Anyway, I’ve already bought the tickets, counted by head. The rooms are booked too. It’s not easy to refund now. So tell me, are you going or not?”

“Fine, I’ll go…”

Letting out a sigh, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could only give in.

Because she had always lived a frugal life, the little Demon Lord knew very well how shameful waste was. With tickets and rooms already booked, sticking to the principle of not wasting things, she could only choose to submit. Even though it wasn’t her money, wasting it still hurt her heart.

This move, this move was writing empty checks to both sides. Telling Eiya that Eiru had agreed so she wouldn’t cancel the plan, then telling Eiru that Eiya was going because she had agreed.

Even taking advantage of how these siblings cared about each other, then piling on top of that Eiru’s deep-seated aversion to waste. A mom like this was truly trash among trash.

“Then remember to get up early tomorrow and adjust your biological clock. And your sister is downstairs buying things. If you want to buy anything or get something to eat, you can go down too. I’ll transfer you some money.”

As she spoke, Liu Wan took out her phone, already preparing to send Eiru some shopping money.

Maybe out of a trace of guilt for manipulating the kids’ feelings? This time, Liu Wan unusually transferred Eiru quite a lot. A full three hundred yuan. Aside from living expenses, this loli had never once received that much money in one go from her mom.

“Thanks, Mom!”

Seeing the transfer pop up on her phone, the Demon Lord instantly tossed all her unhappiness out the window. It wasn’t that she was money-grubbing, it was just that in some aspects, this girl was genuinely very easy to satisfy.

Of course, one thing was one thing. Giving her allowance just meant she wouldn’t nitpick about being forcibly dragged into this trip. Some old scores were not something that could be settled so easily…

After eating, Eiru didn’t hesitate at all. With a bunch of “wah wah wah” noises coming out of her mouth, she ran straight out the door. That childlike reaction left Liu Wan rather puzzled.

Yes. Staying in her original body for too long meant that when emotionally excited, even while in her male form, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could easily be “possessed” by her loli true body.

“That kid… did he really go bad and become some kind of delinquent?”

For the first time, Liu Wan began to doubt the rumors about Eiru. If delinquents were like her son just now, wouldn’t that be way too embarrassing?

‘Forget it, forget it. He’s behaving now anyway, isn’t his academic performance improving? He’s just a bit rebellious in temperament, that still needs correcting…’

While clearing the dishes off the table, Liu Wan was already thinking about future educational policies and strategies for her son.

“Jelly, pudding, fries, seaweed~”

Back in her loli form, the little Demon Lord, wearing a home-style nightdress, went on a shopping spree in the supermarket downstairs.

This outfit had also been bought for her by Yuki, but it wasn’t that barely-covering silk nightdress. Even though she usually lacked any awareness of herself as a girl, the little Demon Lord still had a sense of shame. So what she was wearing now was actually a much more normal and conservative nightdress.

“Ah, speaking of which, I ditched Stupid Yuki… I should probably apologize to him.”

Even though she was being forcibly arranged by her mom, suddenly thinking of her little boyfriend made the Demon Lord feel that she should make it up to Yuki.

“Since I don’t know how to apologize anyway, I’ll just do whatever he says~ I’ll give him a chance to order me around for a whole day~”

Clasping her hands together, she made that decision. Just like that, without knowing it, Yuki scored a massive win.

Who knew what kind of expression those parents would have in the future when they found out their precious little cabbage had already been eaten to this extent by an outsider pig? Especially when they didn’t even know they had such a little cabbage in the first place, and it still got eaten by a pig…

“Wow, bro, you’re awake! You even came out?”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Eiru was promptly hugged by a silver-haired loli who looked very similar to her.

“Hm?”

Following behind Eiya, Ei Yuan naturally saw the figure being hugged. He frowned slightly, but didn’t think too much of it.

“Yeah, Mom gave me some allowance to come buy food…”

“Ohhh, so you really agreed then… let’s go together, together!”

Both girls were caught up in excitement. After seeing each other, they completely forgot to confront things properly. The result was that Liu Wan’s almost laughably flimsy empty check actually managed to fool them just like that…

“Wake up, wake up! Little Lu, wake up!”

Early the next morning, the door was banged on loudly. Combined with the constant twisting of the doorknob, not just the person inside, but the entire house could forget about sleeping any longer.

“Ahhhhh, are you insane? I just fell asleep…”

Muttering complaints under her pillow, the little Demon Lord, with some serious morning grumpiness, was genuinely irritated right now. Gulu beside her was in a similar mood, constantly shaking its fur to vent.

Because her schedule was completely flipped, Her Majesty the Demon Lord knew that falling asleep at night was basically impossible for her. So she had planned to just pull an all-nighter until departure time. That way she wouldn’t oversleep, nor would she get annoyed from being woken up.

According to her thinking, trips usually worried about traffic jams and such, so they should leave as early as possible. She figured she could probably stay up until around seven or eight without a problem. For that, Eiru had even specially bought two cups of coffee yesterday. Though with her physique, it was actually useless. Just for psychological comfort.

But the family, thinking they should let her sleep a bit more, pushed the departure time back to ten in the morning. Great. At eight o’clock, the little Demon Lord finally collapsed… and less than two hours later, she was woken up by the knocking outside the door.

So really, unconsulted, one-sided kindness was very likely to bring about negative effects. The morning grumpiness that Her Majesty the Demon Lord had been trying so hard to avoid was still triggered by these people…

After rolling around on the bed for quite a while to barely calm down, she transformed into her male form and finally walked out of the room with an extremely sour expression.

“Going out to play and you’re still dragging your feet. Hurry up and brush your teeth… still not enough sleep? Didn’t I tell you to go to bed early last night?”

She was greeted head-on with a round of scolding. Her Majesty the Demon Lord was naturally unhappy inside, but it wasn’t convenient to lash out. In the end, she just smacked her lips, rolled her eyes at her mother, and ran off to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.
