Demon King – Chapter 570 – Mentally Exhausted Eiya

“Your cousin took your sister and ran off?”

“Yup. Little Ya slept in really late today, sorry for making you wait so long~”

Opening the door to let Yuki in, before she could even close it, the Demon Lord pounced straight onto him and hooked her arms around his neck.

“Ah, so warm~ having a large warm body pillow really is the best…”

“So in your eyes I’m only good for that, huh…”

“Then add a triple companion package~ Play with, eat with, chat with~”

The little Demon Lord spun half a circle in midair and ended up clinging onto his back, leaving the responsibility of closing the door to Yuki.

While closing the door, Yuki found it a bit strange. Hadn’t Eiru’s cousin gone full ultimate sister complex? Logically he wouldn’t really leave such a silly girl alone in the house, right? This wasn’t even their own home.

“He took Little Ya to the amusement park. As for me, I’m not interested in that stuff, and I couldn’t exactly stand you up, right? But as the price for letting me stay here alone, I’m not allowed to sneak out.”

And because Eiru was a habitual escape artist, even locking the door couldn’t stop someone who could fly. So every half hour, she had to send her dear cousin her location. You could say the anti-girl measures were taken to the extreme.

But that was exactly what the Demon Lord wanted. If she wasn’t allowed to go out, did that mean she couldn’t bring someone in? Because she had to send her location regularly, they wouldn’t suddenly rush back to do a surprise check, and they definitely wouldn’t think that she could still bring a friend into the house.

“They all went out to play early in the morning. Then I don’t know what was up with Little Ya today, but she slept until almost noon… sorry about that.”

While apologizing, Eiru was also a bit puzzled. When she slipped out yesterday, Eiya had already fallen asleep, and when she asked her, there didn’t seem to be any issues like being uncomfortable sleeping. Eiya was usually someone who slept early and woke early. There was no reason for her to wake up this late.

But sometimes people just suddenly want to sleep longer. There was nothing particularly strange about it. Compared to that, the Demon Lord suddenly remembered a serious issue.

“Wait, I just remembered. If you’re here… where’s Hulu? Who did you dump it on again?”

“Tsk tsk, it took you a whole day to remember? Of course I dumped it on our comrade Jiaqi. And I dumped the cat on him too. It should be total chaos over there right now, right?”

That big cat was usually very well-behaved, but cats as a species tended to get nervous in unfamiliar environments. Depending on personality, they would more or less have stress reactions.

“No way. Forget Hulu for now… Gulu was super well-behaved the first time it stayed at my place?”

The little Demon Lord didn’t believe it. It wasn’t like she had never taken care of that cat before. It wasn’t anywhere near as scary as Yuki made it sound.

“That’s because you were there. You’re special. Gulu was especially close to you the first time it saw you, remember?”

Yuki scraped his finger lightly across his little girlfriend’s nose and started telling her about the first time he brought that big cat home.

At the same time, over at Jiaqi’s house, a miserable young man was clutching his head with both hands, staring at the disaster in front of him, his entire being frozen in a state of silent screaming.

“I’m begging you. One of you is a cat, and the other is… uh? I don’t even know what you are… but you’re not huskies! Stop tearing the house apart!”

A big cat and a small creature were bouncing around the room, jumping onto the air conditioner one moment and onto the TV the next. Scratching the sofa here, chewing on the cabinet there, the place was such a mess that it was about to drive someone insane.

‘This wasn’t how it was supposed to be! Forget Hulu, but wasn’t Gulu usually very well-behaved?!’

Holding the chewed-through network cable and several bits of furniture wiring in his hands, Jiaqi had already mentally cursed someone countless times.

“Wow, wouldn’t Stupid Qi be taking off over there? You did it on purpose, didn’t you? Why are you so evil?”

Rolling around on the bed, the little Demon Lord couldn’t help but roast Yuki’s dark side.

“I swear on heaven and earth, I really didn’t mean it… besides Jiaqi, I didn’t have anyone else I could ask. With you not around, Aunt Mu and the others weren’t convenient either. I couldn’t just hand them over to people I don’t trust, right?”

Yuki cried injustice. Leaving them with Jiaqi was really just out of necessity. But if there truly was no other way, he would still bring the two little guys with him to come find his girlfriend. After all, his girlfriend was the most important.

“Mm… can’t be bothered to care~ play games with me. Did you bring the console? Link up!”

“I did, I did. How could I dare forget what you told me? You’re my most beloved little treasure.”

“Can you not be so mushy?”

The little Demon Lord made a look of disgust.

“We’re all macho men here, we don’t eat that…”

“Alright alright, treasure, my bad…”

“I said don’t be so mushy!”

“Still not fully rested?”

While lining up under the roller coaster with Eiya, Lin Miao saw his cousin still yawning and felt a bit surprised.

‘Big sis, you’ve already slept twelve hours. Are you a pig? How are you still not rested?’

“I feel like you’re thinking something bad, bro…”

Eiya suddenly felt uncomfortable for no reason.

“But maybe I just slept too much? After passing a certain threshold, sleeping more just turns into grogginess.”

“But don’t worry, bro. I won’t fall asleep on the roller coaster. That’s something only my sister can do… haaw~”

While saying something packed with complaints and information, Eiya yawned again, making it genuinely worrying whether she would fall asleep before even getting on the ride.

Rеаԁ oո ΚatReαԁіոgСаfе

As for falling asleep on a roller coaster, Eiya wasn’t wrong. Aside from people with truly weak nerves who fainted from fear, which usually meant they didn’t get on the ride anyway, only a certain girl could get bored enough to feel sleepy on such an attraction.

Still, she didn’t know what was going on today. She had clearly slept a lot, yet it still felt like it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t sleepiness or fatigue. Her body and mind were both in a normal state, but she just inexplicably wanted to sleep. This was the first time she’d encountered such a situation. It couldn’t possibly be from being scared by that snake yesterday, right?

But when she thought of that snake, remembering the scene of it opening its mouth wide to swallow her sister whole, Eiya shuddered violently and snapped awake. That scene was truly terrifying. She really couldn’t handle it.

“You alright? I’m really worried you’re mentally worn out from being scared by that snake yesterday…”

As a sister-obsessed cousin, Lin Miao immediately noticed Eiya’s little reaction. He patted her head and asked with concern.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Scary is scary, but… whoa, you little brats, why are you dragging me?”

Before Eiya could finish speaking, the two little nephews in front of her grabbed her hand and ran forward. It was their turn to ride the roller coaster.

“Alright then, Little Ya, good luck. Your bro won’t ride with you… I can’t handle those little demons.”

Waving as he watched Eiya get dragged onto the ride, Lin Miao didn’t follow. Instead, he walked straight toward the exit.

“Hey! We queued for so long, why aren’t you riding?! And how can you dump responsibility like that!”
