Demon King – Chapter 558 – The Overcautious Demon Lord

‘What kind of international joke is this supposed to be?! Our family’s precious little cabbage, is that something those wild pigs outside can just lay a hand on?! Taking advantage of a gap, sneaking in while no one’s guarding her, stirring up trouble?’

As a full-blown sister-con, the moment Lin Miao thought about his clueless little sister possibly getting tricked by some wild brat out there, a nameless surge of anger shot straight up in his chest.

“Tell me honestly. Did you… Your big brother promises he won’t beat him to death.”

“No no no… absolutely not!”

Intimidated by her brother’s aura, Her Majesty the Demon Lord completely did not dare to reveal the fact that she was already dating Yuki. She was terrified her brother would run over and tear her little boyfriend apart alive.

“Really?”

“Really! Look at my sincere eyes!”

Eiru widened her eyes and stared straight at Lin Miao. This move might be extremely cute in her loli form, but in her male form… yeah, better not talk about it.

Lin Miao felt his scalp go numb from being stared at, but he was still doubtful. Rather than doubt, it was more that he did not dare to gamble. He knew Eiru’s personality too well. He was just too afraid this silly loli would get scammed.

“Anyway, no matter what, if you run into difficulties, absolutely don’t rely on outsiders. You have to tell me. Your big brother will definitely help you.”

“Mhm-mhm! I get it, I get it. I don’t like owing people favors either. And if I accidentally owe one, I’ll definitely pay it back.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord nodded like a pounding pestle, praying this topic would hurry up and pass.

‘That’s exactly what I’m afraid of…’

Lin Miao thought helplessly. Saying that favors must be repaid is logically correct, but with his sister… she was the type who would repay favors in a nearly obey-every-command manner. That was a huge problem.

If he said too much, he worried she would get annoyed, so Lin Miao temporarily ended the topic. Since he could not pry anything out here, he planned to see if he could extract something from Eiya later.

Over there, the adults had finished chatting and planned to go out for a walk. Aside from a few who stayed behind to watch the kids and slack off, the entire villa was now left with only Eiru, Eiya, and Lin Miao, the three siblings.

“Alright, while they’re not around, hurry up and take your sister to soak in the bath. She’s afraid of water, and I’m not good at taking care of her.”

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Miao quickly shooed the two little ones off to bathe, while giving Eiya some instructions, telling her to take good care of her sister.

“There’s an indoor hot spring pool in the bathroom. I don’t need to teach you how to handle it. Your sister’s body needs it. Let her soak longer, it’s good for her health…”

“Don’t worry, Brother Miao. I’m super reliable at this~”

Making an OK gesture, Eiya declared that she had experience taking care of lolis. Even though something seemed to go wrong every time, failure was the mother of success. Just learn more lessons.

“I’m warning you first. Your sister can’t take your messing around right now. Don’t stir up trouble, or I’ll definitely spank your butt.”

Although Eiya was often immature, occasionally bratty and prone to princess syndrome, overall she was still a considerate and thoughtful kid. Her biggest strength was admitting mistakes and correcting them, never repeating them.

But her biggest weakness was that non-repeated mistakes did not fall under that category, so she frequently caused all kinds of brand-new disasters. That was exactly what gave Lin Miao headaches and worry.

That said, bathing was not something that could really go wrong. The two girls were not little kids anymore. It was not like even soaking in a bath could cause trouble. Lin Miao stayed outside to keep watch, diverting and distracting anyone who came close, letting the two sisters inside soak in peace.

Otherwise, if a bunch of relatives found out that Eiru and Eiya, these two “siblings”, were bathing together, not to mention the gossip, the first thing to worry about would be whether Eiru’s legs would get broken.

After finishing the bath, Her Majesty the Demon Lord sat in front of the vanity. She was not good at dealing with her hair and basically never bothered with it, so this task naturally fell to her beloved little sister.

“Sis, your hair is really long…”

While tidying up Eiru’s astonishingly beautiful silver-white long hair, casually playing with it in her palm, even Eiya, a girl herself, found it hard to let go.

“Is it? I think it’s just average… Though at first I wasn’t used to it. It just felt really heavy.”

Originally a boy, Eiru naturally had very little awareness about hair length. Someone whose hair got forcibly cut the moment it reached the nape of the neck did not have much concept of this.

“My hair only reaches my waist. When yours is down, it goes past your knees…”

Long hair was beautiful, but taking care of it was a real hassle. Even though this was not the first time she had helped manage Eiru’s hair, Eiya still found it troublesome.

“I don’t really get it. I usually just tie a side ponytail and call it a day~ And that’s the only hairstyle I know~”

Shaking her head, Her Majesty the Demon Lord casually stated a reality that was extremely embarrassing for a girl.

“Don’t move around. If you’re not careful, I’ll yank out your ahoge.”

“Eek! Don’t touch the ahoge!”

“Then don’t move!”

After finishing her sister’s hair, Eiya sat down at the vanity to take care of her own hair. This was something she could not rely on her sister for. She could only do it herself.

Meanwhile, the little Demon Lord walked back and forth around the room, making preparations for sleeping tonight. She set up several magic formations with different purposes, just in case. Even if her parents got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, there was no need to worry about them seeing an extra loli on the bed.

“Two illusion ones, one sleep enhancement… emmmmm, what else? Let’s add a sensory adjustment too, to prevent them from coming over to touch a few times.”

Muttering to herself, before long, the spacious room was filled with all kinds of magic formations invisible to humans. But Her Majesty the Demon Lord was still not satisfied and wanted to add two more formations for soundproofing and odor isolation.

“Sis, I think this is already enough. You don’t have to go this far…”

Even though she could not see what was being set up, just from the movements, Eiya could guess how much preparation her sister had done.

“Worst case, you just get discovered. Then you won’t have to hide so uncomfortably anymore. With me here, they definitely won’t chase you away. If they dare, I’ll run away with you! We’ll make them realize their mistake!”

“Forget it. I never gamble on things that are uncertain. Not placing hope on uncertain outcomes is the smart way to live.”

“But when you’re addicted to gacha games, you don’t say that…”

“Cough! Cough cough cough! That’s different! Can pulling gacha be called gambling? That’s called bringing my paper wife home! You can’t catch a wolf without risking the kid!”

What followed was a bunch of hard-to-understand nonsense. Things like gacha having clear probabilities so it did not count as pure gambling, pity systems being there so results could be predicted, and so on. The room was instantly filled with cheerfulness… cheerfulness my ass. Right now, the room was full of nothing but awkwardness.

That said, Her Majesty the Demon Lord did not really have spare money to whale on games anyway. She was basically a carefully planned free-to-play player. With her strong financial planning skills, she would never spend big money on non-essential things.

“No, let’s add two more formations. Just in case…”

“Just in case my ass! You already said you set up two or three sleep enhancements. If you keep going, Mom and Dad won’t be able to get out of bed until next week!”
