Demon King – Chapter 571 – Going Home

Unlike the two lolis who were on vacation, most people still had to work. With the three days and two nights coming to an end, everyone was getting ready to go back to their own homes.

Yesterday, Yuki had spent half the day accompanying his little girlfriend, but today he had already checked out early and returned to Huanghai City. In the first place, he had chased after Eiru to come here. Now that everyone was leaving, there was nothing for him to linger for.

After packing up their things, the family discussed heading to a restaurant to eat first before returning to Huanghai. Sitting in her cousin Lin Miao’s car, the little Demon Lord pressed her forehead against her younger sister’s forehead, carefully using her magic to examine her condition.

Eiya was still in the same drowsy state as yesterday. Once was fine, but two days in a row was definitely not normal. Noticing this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord took advantage of the moment when no one else was around.

“There’s nothing wrong with Eiya, right?”

Lin Miao asked while driving. Since Eiru had explained things to him before, he knew what she was doing. And as a hardcore little-sister lover, he was genuinely worried about Eiya too.

“That’s weird, there really isn’t anything wrong?”

This was the first time the little Demon Lord had run into something like this. Every indicator of Eiya’s body was normal. Her magic analysis, which had never failed her, had actually come up empty?

‘Could it really be that this dumb girl just hadn’t rested enough?’

Forget hidden illnesses, even the tiniest, normally negligible bodily issues would stand out like a light bulb in the dark in front of her absurd magic analysis.

So, being extremely confident in her own abilities, Eiru now leaned more toward believing that there was nothing wrong with her sister at all. At least, there couldn’t possibly be a physical problem.

Sleeping soundly through it all, Eiya naturally had no idea about any of this. Anyway, at this point, she felt like she could never get enough sleep, having already surpassed her older sister in terms of sleepiness.

Since she couldn’t find the problem, there was no point in dwelling on it. After eating at the restaurant, Her Majesty the Demon Lord leaned against her sister and slept the entire way back. Until they returned to Huanghai City, Eiya didn’t wake up even once, remaining in a hazy sleep until they got home.

“Did you… sleep enough?”

Eiru gently pinched the back of Eiya’s neck, trying to wake her up a bit.

“If you keep sleeping, it’ll be evening already. You didn’t even eat lunch.”

“I slept enough… haa~”

Before she could finish speaking, Eiya let out a huge yawn, instantly making the scene awkward.

“You’re not still sleepy, are you?! Are you a pig?! Or are you sick?!”

“I slept enough! And I’m not a pig!”

The two sisters bickered as they got out of the car and headed upstairs. Lin Miao stayed behind to park the car and carry the luggage. Eiru wanted to help, but he turned her down.

To avoid their cousin being discovered, Lin Miao had driven a bit faster, arriving home well before the girls’ parents. That was what allowed the two girls to slip straight back inside like this.

Then, the moment they got home, Eiya went back to her room and collapsed straight into bed, falling asleep again and leaving her dear older sister completely dumbfounded. Before Eiru could even complain, she suddenly felt something heavy drop onto her head.

“Goo yi!”

That familiar cry instantly revealed the other party’s identity. Smiling, the little Demon Lord lifted the affectionate little creature off her head, rubbing her cheek against it in return.

“My little Hulu, long time no see. You know your dear papa is back?”

Hearing that, the little thing froze for a moment, then started waving its two front paws while going goo yi goo yi, as if it were arguing about something.

Others couldn’t understand what it was saying, but of course, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could. As if she had heard something deeply unpleasant, her face immediately darkened.

“I’m the husband. Stupid Yuki is the wife. You should call him mama, not me. He’s the male mom… wait, that term sounds like I’m losing out. He’s your mama, got it?”

But the little thing in her arms just shook its head and went goo yi goo yi, clearly acting like an ‘I’m not listening, I’m not listening’ kind of brat.

“Forget it, you’re still young. I’ll correct you later. But seriously, weren’t you with Stupid Qi? How did you suddenly end up here?”

Just as she was wondering that, the phone in Eiru’s pocket suddenly rang. When she looked at the caller ID, it was actually Jiaqi, the guy who practically never called anyone.

For this guy to take the initiative to call, something big must have happened. Thinking that, the little Demon Lord hugged Hulu with one arm and took out her phone with the other, answering the call.

“Lu Brat, Lu Brat! Your little thing is gone! I just went out to eat, and when I got back to the room it was gone. Only Gulu was left. I thought it went out to play, but it still hasn’t come back!”

The moment the call connected, Jiaqi’s anxious voice came through. Looking at the little creature in her arms, who was staring at her innocently, the little Demon Lord felt awkward. So you snuck back on your own, huh?

“Uh… Hulu is with me right now.”

“What? You called it back without even telling me. Do you know how scared I was…”

The other end of the line let out a sigh of relief, but that was immediately followed by nonstop complaining, a barrage that left the loli utterly speechless.

Hulu must have sensed that she was coming back, so it slipped back early to wait for her here. It was pretty smart, but how did it know she was coming back today? From the looks of it, Stupid Yuki hadn’t gone over either…

As she was puzzling over this, Eiru noticed that the little creature’s gaze was fixed on Eiya, who was sleeping on the bed. Watching her sleep, its tail swayed back and forth, though it was unclear what it was thinking.

“By the way, do you know why Eiya has been so sleepy these past two days? I feel like you should know something,”

The little Demon Lord asked, throwing her question at the little creature as she realized something.

One demon and one beast stared at each other in silence for quite a while. Then the little thing licked its tongue, slightly opened its mouth, and said…

“Meow~”

“??????”

Eiru’s head filled with question marks. This really threw her for a loop. You don’t even know what species you are, and after hanging around with cats for so long, you’ve learned how to meow like one?

Before she could recover from the mental chaos, the little thing suddenly placed both paws on her, and the patterns on its body lit up. As it activated its magic, the little Demon Lord felt a portion of the magic within her own body being mobilized as well.

“Eh?”

Seeing the patterns on her wings glow blue as well, Eiru was surprised, but she didn’t resist, letting it guide her. She wanted to see what this little thing was trying to pull.

The glow from the patterns on her wings and on Hulu’s body kept intensifying, making quite a commotion. Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were performing some large-scale magic. Even Eiru herself thought so.

Just as she felt the driven magic reach a peak, as if something was about to be activated, the light suddenly went out. In an instant, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.

“Damn it, you little wastrel! Do you know how precious magic is?! It’s not for you to use as LED lights!”

After confirming that nothing had changed, Eiru’s expression shifted from surprise to confusion, then to anger. After experiencing that time of extreme magic deprivation, even though she now had a large surplus, she was usually reluctant to use magic at all. And you use it like this, you little spendthrift, what the hell are you doing?

So angry was she that she was about to give the little thing in her arms a round of waist-drum discipline. Just as she tucked Hulu under her arm and raised her palm high, there was suddenly movement from the bed beside her.

“Ah, I’m awake!”

The silver-haired girl on the bed suddenly sat bolt upright in one sharp motion…
