Demon King – Chapter 559 – The So-Called Couple

Late at night, the parents of a certain pair of loli sisters were sleeping soundly in their bed. But their beloved younger daughter was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

On one hand, she was worried and nervous. After all, Eiru was right there in the room. If the two of them woke up, her sister would have nowhere to run. Even though she had made preparations, Eiya did not understand magic, so she had no idea how effective those things really were. Feeling scared was unavoidable.

But that was only secondary. The real issue was that somehow, right now, there was an extra person on her bed who was seriously interfering with her sleep. Just as she had her eyes closed and was forcing herself to calm down, a certain loli inexplicably felt her way onto the bed and crawled in.

Startled by the sudden movement, Eiya was just about to scold her a bit. But seeing the other party’s hazy, half-asleep state, it did not look intentional at all. Could it be that her sister was sleepwalking? Or half-asleep without much awareness?

But she had already wanted to hug Eiru and sleep together anyway. Since the person had delivered herself, there was no reason not to hug her, right?

Looking at the silver-haired loli curled up with her back against her, constantly burrowing into her arms, Eiya unapologetically spread her arms and treated her sister like a body pillow.

“Hehe~ so warm~ stupid Yuki hug~ want hugs…”

‘Hiss.’

Hearing that, Eiya immediately sucked in a sharp breath. Her blood pressure shot straight up. The amount of information packed into that sentence was kind of insane.

‘Could it be that my sister was sleeping in the same bed as Brother Yuki every day?’

‘Good grief. That Yuki was something else. It had not even been that long, and he had already gotten my sister into bed? The two of them did not seriously do everything they were supposed to do already, right? Raw rice cooked into cooked rice?’

Her thoughts spiraled wildly, and now Eiya really could not sleep at all. She was panicking. The family did not even know yet that Eiru had turned into a girl. If this was already a case of raw rice turned cooked, and their parents found out, would their blood pressure not explode on the spot? And then regret it so hard they would mentally shatter?

“Can’t help it. My body temperature is low. I just like being held. It’s really warm…”

The murmured sleep talk snapped Eiya out of her overthinking. Now she finally understood why Eiru had climbed onto her bed. She was just looking for an embrace, satisfying her need for warmth.

Because she had not been held by Yuki while sleeping for a long time, and she already had a strong need for this to begin with, the little Demon Lord, in her drowsy state, sensed the presence of something nearby radiating body heat. Naturally, she treated it as Yuki and crawled over. To put it bluntly, she had been spoiled rotten by Yuki in this regard.

Luckily, of the three beds in the room, Eiya was sleeping on the middle one. Otherwise, if positions were different, Her Majesty the Demon Lord might have ended up feeling her way onto her parents’ bed instead. As for the consequences, one could only imagine them.

“Besides that, ever since I was little, Dad and Mom never really hugged me much either. Now that my body has become like this, I especially want to be held and act spoiled. Every time I see them hugging Little Ya and the other kids in the family, I get so jealous I could die.”

“Sister?” Hearing this, Eiya froze for a moment, and then a wave of heartache surged up for her.

“But I’m a boy. I can’t act spoiled with them, and I can’t ask them to hold me. Even if I really lowered my head and asked, I’d only get scolded for being immature, or they’d just ignore me.”

“They won’t, sister. I’ll think of a way to make them hold you. Don’t think like that. I’ll definitely help you make this wish come true.” Hugging the girl in front of her tightly, Eiya had always been thinking about how to mend their family relationship.

The most important thing was to let her sister let go of the knot in her heart and be honest with their parents. But she also had to test their parents’ attitude first. Otherwise, if they could not accept the current Eiru, then things would really be beyond saving.

“Now I have you. Stupid Yuki, you hugging me is enough~ When I’m unhappy, I’ll just get hugs from you. Every time I burrow into your arms, I feel happy and at ease~ hehe~”

Ah this… Eiya, who had still been thinking about the previous issue, went completely blank. This was bad. This was really bad. Mom, Dad, if you do not hurry up and deal with your daughter’s issues, the cabbage in our family is really going to run off with an outside pig.

Immersed in her dream, the little Demon Lord naturally had no idea what Eiya was thinking behind her. She happily talked to the Yuki in her dream about her future plans. For some reason, dream-Eiru was indeed much more honest than usual.

In her plan, she would definitely get into the same university as Yuki. Then she could smoothly break free from her parents’ restraints and happily live together with Yuki outside.

Living expenses could be covered by working part-time. University would not be like high school where she was constantly nagged to go home. After becoming an adult, many things would become much more convenient, and there would be relatively more freedom. In that situation, she could completely stop relying on her parents and slowly repay Yuki for taking care of her through her own efforts.

So Eiya was not wrong in thinking this way. If a certain pair of magical parents remained completely unaware and did not make up for their mistakes… then the cabbage in their family really was going to fly away.

“No, it’s not like I like you. I really don’t. But I definitely have a good impression of you. As for why? How should I put it… I haven’t felt that kind of heart-throbbing feeling yet.”

A long time ago, Eiru and Eiya had, out of sheer boredom, discussed the topic of love and liking someone. Even though the two lolis had zero romantic experience, when it came to talking nonsense, they were both extremely convincing. And one thing they reached a consensus on was that liking someone would definitely come with a feeling of inner throbbing.

Whether it was hearing their voice, seeing them, or even just sensing that they were nearby. If you liked someone, then because of their existence, you would definitely experience a kind of uncontrollable throbbing, like your heart racing.

Of course, as time passed and you spent more time together, this feeling would gradually fade due to familiarity. Otherwise, having your heart race anytime and anywhere would easily cause problems.

But no matter what, the two of them believed that this throbbing was the sign of liking someone. If it did not appear, then it meant you did not like that person.

Taking a thoroughly academic attitude, the two girls even planned to find someone with relationship experience to verify their theory. But they did not have many friends, and everyone was a single dog. There was no good candidate for a while.

In the end, Eiru suddenly thought of someone who had once liked her. Although the relationship never happened, if it was about liking someone, Yunyue did meet the criteria.

A phone call was made to ask about this question, and Yunyue gave them a very clear answer. When she liked Eiru, she really did experience that kind of inner throbbing.

So because she had never experienced this throbbing feeling in her heart, the little Demon Lord had never thought that she liked Yuki. Even when listening to his occasional lines that could stir her heart, she was only simply shy.

But there was one thing Her Majesty the Demon Lord had to admit. Yuki had already shifted from the position of best friend to a much more subtle and much more important place.

Having become someone who could no longer live without Yuki, in a certain sense, she really had become his captive. And Yuki’s heart had long since been captured by her.

So then, two people who had already captured each other, were they not exactly what one would call a couple?
