Demon King – Chapter 576 – The Origin of the Demon Lord

After waiting for a while without getting an answer, Her Majesty the Demon Lord yawned, then reached out and rubbed her belly that she had just filled. Because he was still deep in thought, the dad sitting across from her did not notice this very childish little action.

“So, you really are dating her?”

Combining his son’s question just now with what had been happening lately, Ei Yuan frowned and asked.

“Nope, I was just asking casually. Just wanted to see exactly what kind of thing you guys are against, that’s all.”

After thinking it over for a bit, Ei Yuan also came to his own answer. He organized his words and gave a clear response.

“Your mom, I can’t say for sure. But as for me… if it really were that kind of situation, I’d support it.”

In Ei Yuan’s eyes, what parents cared about was never the behavior itself. Whether to support it or not should have been decided based on the impact that behavior produced.

They opposed early romance in the first place because they were afraid it would affect a child’s studies and life. With shallow experience, kids were easily influenced by other things. But if two people could support each other and make progress together, there was simply no reason to oppose it, right?

Thinking this, Ei Yuan even mocked himself a little in his heart. There was really nothing to hesitate about. If he opposed even this, then that whole parental theory of “it’s for the child’s own good” would completely collapse.

“Relax, I’m not dating her. And even if I wanted to, I couldn’t date her anyway. That’s an irresistible force.”

Eiru waved her hand. How could she possibly date herself? Was she supposed to split into two people or something?

If she actually had that ability, she would not have been caught by Yuki noticing the flaw back then. Still, luckily nothing happened that truly scared her. It was just that her best friend ended up craving her body. Pretty awkward.

Ei Yuan was doubtful about this and treated it as an excuse Eiru made because she was afraid he would oppose it.

A girl frequently running to where his son lived, and you tell him there’s nothing going on between them. Who are you fooling? Do you think people are stupid?

But Eiru had also given him a hint, and her grades really had improved. For the moment, he could not bring himself to oppose anything, and indeed had no grounds to oppose it. So the topic quietly passed in silence.

“By the way, you haven’t been getting into fights lately, right?”

After a while, Ei Yuan suddenly brought up another topic.

It was rare to have a chance to communicate and get to know his son like this. Not knowing how to start the conversation, it was honestly pretty awkward.

“Fighting?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord bit on her chopsticks and thought for a moment.

“Seems like not. Does one-sided bullying count?”

“I’m joking, I’m joking. Why would I go around fighting people? If they don’t feel tired, I sure do.”

Seeing the question marks practically popping up on her dad’s face, Eiru hurriedly waved her hands and explained.

“It’s good if there isn’t. When you first started high school, you got your parents called in because of fighting. I remember that very clearly.”

Ei Yuan sighed. Thinking back to the scene of the two of them being called in by the teacher, he still felt embarrassed.

“Oh, that time?”

Being reminded, the little Demon Lord also recalled that unpleasant memory. There really had been a fight, but she had purely been the one taking the blame.

Not long after entering high school, she had already begun her joyful routine of skipping classes and slacking off every day. Wandering around the campus out of boredom, she accidentally witnessed a very real case of school bullying.

A bespectacled boy who looked physically frail was surrounded by two or three other boys. One of them had him pinned against the wall and was holding out a hand to demand money, muttering about protection fees and the like.

“Wow, what a third-rate school bullying script…”

Eiru had complained at the time. When she saw that he was being held down because he could not hand over the money and the group was about to use violence on him, she stepped in to help.

The result went without saying. But afterward, Her Majesty the Demon Lord received a summons from the school leadership, wanting to hold her accountable for fighting and brawling.

That left her completely dumbfounded. No matter how you looked at it, she had been acting bravely to help someone. So what was with that attitude of wanting to deal with her? And those three losers, you were not going to do anything about them?

With the mindset that an upright person need not fear a crooked shadow, the little Demon Lord accepted the summons and swaggered into the school administration office. At worst, there was still that bespectacled boy as a witness. What was there to be scared of?

Then she was completely stunned. At the time, not being very familiar with the overall situation of the school, she ended up suffering badly in this regard. And the ones who reported her were none other than those three boys.

Once the whole story was told, the school leaders and teachers present all laughed. Because those three boys came from very wealthy families and also had excellent grades. Given their circumstances, there was simply no possibility of them collecting protection fees.

Then that bespectacled boy also went completely against her expectations. Whether he had been threatened or bribed, he chose to stand on the side of the people who bullied him. He even turned around and accused Eiru instead. The few of them had just been chatting normally, and she had suddenly run over and beaten up three boys.

With a very poor attitude about admitting fault plus her usual truancy issues, new and old accounts were settled together. And so Her Majesty the Demon Lord was happily called in with her parents. Hearing that their son had caused trouble at school, the two of them rushed over immediately.

“But Dad, you’re something else too. The first question you asked was actually whether I had won the fight…”

Propping her chin up with one hand, recalling Ei Yuan throwing out that question with a serious face back then, she seriously wondered if her ears had malfunctioned.

Compared to Liu Wan, who was so emotional that she wanted to slap her son across the face the moment she arrived, Ei Yuan was relatively calm. Boys fighting was actually pretty common.

As someone who had also grown up in the countryside, he had gotten into plenty of fights when he was young too. And with that sense of competitiveness, every man had his own blood and pride. His own son, of course, could not lose to others, right?

Of course, hitting people was still wrong, and apologies still had to be made. All the evidence pointed at Eiru, so Ei Yuan could not possibly indulge his child in this regard. The two of them forcibly pressed Eiru’s head down together to apologize. After a lot of talking and with help from relatives, they finally avoided having Eiru receive a formal demerit from the school.

After that incident, the little Demon Lord finally understood the degree of preferential treatment the school gave to top students. And that group of people had only been bullying other students to satisfy their own twisted interests. As long as they disguised it well enough, the school would always stand on their side.

But she was the Demon Lord. Anyone daring to mess on her head was absolutely intolerable. So some of the rumors about Eiru really were true. Fighting and such… as long as you did not get caught, it was fine.

Without evidence, there was no way to pursue her responsibility. And the school had always ignored her truancy anyway. Slowly, Eiru ended up being rumored as some kind of student with connections in the school. And thus the title of Eiru the Great Demon Lord spread.

Through her series of actions, bullying incidents within the school were inexplicably suppressed. Because those delinquents never knew when someone would suddenly jump out and beat them up. Naturally, they shifted their battlefield outside the school.

It just so happened that around that time, Seventh High also issued a notice about strictly investigating this. Completely unaware of the truth, the school thought all of this was its own achievement.
