Demon King – Chapter 587 – The Demon Lord Missing a Few Pounds

In room 1503 at night, the boys were each busy with their own things. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her and that Yuki was also in the shower, Her Majesty the Demon Lord clutched her head in discomfort.

These past few days, especially at night, Eiru would experience a very brief period where her head would buzz nonstop, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But once she endured that bout of discomfort, everything in her mind would suddenly feel exceptionally clear. That light, refreshing sensation was actually pretty pleasant.

This wasn’t unfamiliar to the little Demon Lord. Most of the time it was the demon race’s inherited memories messing with her. What came along with it were usually bits of extra information, or certain sealed memories in her head getting unlocked.

“Just what is it this time… temporary emergency use, and incomplete? Are you talking about me?”

Still holding her head, the information wasn’t much, but it was far too scattered. Eiru spent quite a while before barely managing to sort it out. This time, it seemed to be something directly related to herself.

As she grew, the gap would also expand? A lack of magic power would accelerate the expansion of this gap. Combining that with her own physical condition, the little Demon Lord more or less understood what was going on.

“Even if you say it’s incomplete, I don’t know how I’m supposed to patch it up… if you were going to make something half-assed, why turn a loli into the main body anyway.”

Eiru lay face-down on the desk, grumbling. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it still caught the attention of the others.

“Little Princess, what are you talking about?”

“What’s with the self-talking, your Mango isn’t sleeping on the bed right now?”

Her strange, muttery behavior as a devoted pet owner naturally drew concern from her two roommates. They had also heard from Yuki that any tiny abnormal behavior from Eiru could be a sign of some kind of problem, so of course they didn’t dare treat it lightly.

“I already told you, my body’s not in great shape, but it’s not as serious as Stupid Yuki makes it sound… you two don’t need to worry so much.”

“No no no, Brother Yuki said you looked like you were about to kick the bucket on the rooftop that day.”

Faced with Eiru’s explanation, the two boys who already treated her like a little sister naturally didn’t buy it. Someone who never paid attention to themselves saying they were fine was absolutely not trustworthy.

“I wasn’t about to kick the bucket, I was just extremely weak… anyway, I wasn’t going to die. I’m a Demon Lord, okay. How could I just die that inexplicably?”

While they were talking, Yuki walked in, wiping his wet hair with a towel. After noticing the strange atmosphere in the dorm, he immediately turned his gaze to his own little girlfriend.

“Lu Brat, what’s wrong again? Feeling unwell?”

“Don’t treat me like a sickly person! At most I’m sub-healthy, sub-healthy, get it! Don’t think I’m getting sick every other day!”

After lights out, Her Majesty the Demon Lord obediently told Yuki the part of the information she had sorted out. Even though she didn’t care much about herself, since Yuki would get upset, she didn’t dare joke around about her own problems anymore.

“So basically, I’m a temporary emergency filler that somehow succeeded. Even though it worked, it was still because the process wasn’t complete? Anyway, the point is, I’m not complete.”

The little Demon Lord herself found it strange. She already knew she had been turned into what she was now by Amber Crystal, but she had no memory of ever coming into contact with it. She remembered her middle school days very clearly. Unlike her distant childhood, they weren’t filled with large blank gaps that needed recalling.

“I turned into this back in middle school, and Amber Crystal had already been missing for years by then… the timing just doesn’t line up. But the information in my head says so, and there’s nothing I can do about that.”

Yuki was also processing what she said. If her physical weakness was caused by being incomplete, then what could be done to make her whole, and thus get her out of potential danger?

Eiru herself didn’t know the answer, but combined with that inexplicable earlier urge to “find Abyssal Amber,” she had a bold guess.

“Look, I was turned into this by Amber Crystal, or you could say this body was formed from Amber Crystal… could it be that some fragments were left behind somewhere, so that’s why it says I’m incomplete?”

“That does sound possible, but the problem is where do we even find fragments?”

Yuki wasn’t stupid. Combining his girlfriend’s information, he had considered this possibility before as well, which was why he hadn’t stopped searching for clues related to Amber Crystal.

The most likely candidate, that bizarre stone, was currently downstairs happily playing with a certain big cat. The two of them looked at how cheerfully it was purring down there. You tell me that thing is part of Eiru… considering how mischievous it was, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

Photos, surveying data, whatever it was. The most important thing right now was whether there was any detailed information about Amber Crystal. Otherwise, no one could know if there really was some kind of gap or missing part. Forget about where it was for now. At the very least, they needed to determine how big the missing fragment was.

But Amber Crystal had spent years underwater, and before it disappeared, the internet wasn’t very developed either. So basically, there were no photos circulating online.

Back then, plenty of people had set their sights on that massive thing. They mobilized all kinds of manpower and resources, yet still couldn’t completely dig it out from the bottom of the lake. They couldn’t even move it by an inch.

The most outrageous part was that it had the property of being indestructible. Even drills couldn’t leave a single mark on it. To say that such a bizarre thing could have fragments, to be honest, neither of them really believed it.

“But that thing was so huge. If it really turned into a body… there’s no way you’d be this small, right? Could it be that you’re actually just a small piece, and the missing big chunk is somewhere else?”

Yuki sized up Eiru’s petite body. He had heard that Amber Crystal was at least ten meters tall as a gigantic crystal. Turning into a human body and ending up like this…

“Concentrated essence is the real deal! What’s wrong with being small! I’m telling you, I can punch you straight into the wall with one fist! You’re just thinking about those busty big sisters all day, aren’t you? Sorry for not having that kind of figure, okay!”

“Brother Yuki, that’s on you… isn’t the Little Princess being small super cute? Having such an amazing loli wife and still thinking about onee-sans, you really don’t know how good you’ve got it.”

Hearing Eiru’s roar, Jixian stuck his head out to criticize a certain life winner.

“You’ve got a legal, forever-young loli wife and you still think she’s small? Damn it, you’re looking down on us single dogs.”

Ziyu also stuck his head out, overwhelmed by discomfort.

“If you don’t want her, you can give her to me. I’m telling you, the Little Princess is totally my type, I don’t mind…”

“Get lost, Lu Brat is mine!”

Yuki suddenly pulled Eiru into his arms like he was protecting a cub. “I’m telling you, I like this small size. Compared to onee-sans and all that, I’m a firm loli faction member!”

After saying that, Yuki lowered his head, about to naturally give his little treasure a kiss on the forehead to assert his ownership, when he suddenly felt a chill around both wrists. Under the light, a certain familiar object gleamed blindingly.

“Comrade Stupid Yuki, given that your statements were far too dangerous, this Demon Lord has to cuff you.”

Gently snapping the “limited edition shiny bracelets” onto Yuki’s wrists, no one knew where the little Demon Lord had suddenly pulled that thing from.

“Who taught you that official tone… and where did this come from? That doesn’t look like mine.”

“Your dad~ He said if you had any improper thoughts about me, I should cuff you up. I’m very obedient!”

‘Obedient my ass. You just thought it was fun and wanted to stir things up.’

Looking at the Demon Lord’s cheeky grin, Yuki roared internally.
