Demon King – Chapter 588 – The Demon Lord Gets Ambushed

Another uneventful week went by. Aside from keeping a cat in the dorm and slacking off, and working part-time at the milk tea shop, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s days were still just as ordinary.

“I think I should go home for a bit?”

Looking at the calendar on her phone and estimating the dates, after more than half a month, the little Demon Lord felt it was about time to head back.

“Huh? Because of little Eiya?”

Hearing that his girlfriend was going home, Yuki was first surprised, then quickly thought of the reason.

“Yep. I need to go back and check on her physical condition. Even though I’ve already used magic to patch her up and stabilize things pretty well, it’s still better to check regularly, just in case.”

While answering, Eiru pulled a pair of black thigh-high socks over her legs. Dressed in a casual outfit, she straightened her denim skirt and reached out to take the short jacket Yuki handed her.

“But Stupid Yuki, you’re really good at picking clothes…”

Turning around in front of the mirror, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was quite satisfied with her current look. She even felt that Yuki understood what suited her better than she did herself.

“Honestly, how long have you wanted to see me wear this kind of outfit? You look like you’ve seriously studied it…”

‘The first day I met you? Or rather, the first day I saw your loli form, the signs were already there.’

Yuki rubbed his head, thinking a bit embarrassed. It wasn’t really about desire or anything. Seeing a cute girl and wanting to see her wear pretty clothes was a pretty normal thing, right?

Seeing his awkward expression, Eiru more or less got the answer and didn’t press further. But with a sudden mischievous urge, she ducked under his line of sight and looked up at him with a half-smile, half-scheming little demon expression.

“Don’t look at me like that, it feels like you’re about to pull something…”

That expression made Yuki even more uneasy. Thinking back to all the pranks this girl had pulled before, or rather, when she was still in her male state messing with him, Yuki was really starting to crack.

“Forget it, I won’t tease you anymore. Look how scared you are.”

Waving her hand and putting away that expression, the little Demon Lord gave up on provoking Yuki. But with Yuki staying in the dorm during his free time, things were pretty boring, which made her suddenly think of something.

“I remember our school has quite a few interesting clubs, right? They usually have activities and promotions after class or on weekends…”

Although Yuki was pretty aloof toward strangers, his popularity actually wasn’t bad. He had quite a few familiar friends around him. With a golden signboard like him, there was no way no clubs had tried to recruit him. Her Majesty the Demon Lord definitely didn’t believe that.

“Stupid Yuki, you didn’t join a single one? You can’t tell me you found all of them boring. You need to broaden your social circle!”

“Be reasonable, Lu Brat.”

Yuki pressed his forehead.

“Didn’t you also not join any? How do you have the nerve to lecture me? Your social circle is way worse than mine.”

“I’d like to join too, but would anyone dare take me?”

Eiru spread her hands. Everyone in the school avoided her like the plague. Inviting her to a club? Don’t dream.

“You’re different from me. I’m a lost cause when it comes to making friends and all that. So having you is enough for me. But it’s good for you to make more buddies too. That way you won’t be bored when I’m not around.”

“I have you too, you dumb loli.”

Yuki said with a smile.

“Instead of wasting time on that, I’d rather spend more time with my wife. They’re nowhere near as important as my wife.”

“Correction, it’s husband, not wife. You need to get the positioning right.”

Raising an eyebrow, the loli still had a strong obsession with this point.

“No, it’s wife.”

“No, it’s husband!”

“Wife.”

“Husband!”

“Eh! Wife!”

“Husband… wait, fuck, are you messing with me?!”

Realizing belatedly that she had been led into a trap, the little Demon Lord instantly got flustered and furious. She jumped up and kicked Yuki hard in the knee.

“How can you say I was messing with you…”

Yuki clutched his knee and put on an aggrieved expression, which only made Eiru even more pissed off.

“Forget it, I’m not talking to you. I’m going back to the apartment to grab my stuff, then I’m heading home.”

Putting on her shoes, Her Majesty the Demon Lord picked up the still-sleeping little tabby and walked to the balcony. Seeing her about to leave, Gulu, who didn’t want to be left behind, quickly jumped onto her head.

Like a little sulk, the little Demon Lord snorted. She stepped onto the balcony ledge and spread her wings, about to leave, when she suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped.

“But… if you get bored, you can call me. Chatting with you is still fine.”

Turning back and making a phone gesture, she tossed Yuki a line full of tsundere flavor. Then Eiru kicked off with both legs. Her figure turned transparent as she left the dorm.

“Dumb loli… how did I never notice you had a bit of tsundere in you before?”

——Divider——

“Gulu, watch over Mango. I’m going to look for something…”

As soon as she returned to the rented apartment, the little Demon Lord put the tabby down. Without even taking off her shoes, she went straight into her room and started rummaging through things.

Gulu obediently did as Eiru said. It lay down beside the sleeping tabby and used its fluffy big tail to cover the little one, acting as a blanket.

“I need to return those two skirts I borrowed from Little Ya… and where did I put my towel?”

Going back and forth between the storage space under the bed and the wardrobe to find the things she needed to bring back, just as Eiru finished packing, her phone suddenly rang.

“Wife, I’m so bored, I miss you~”

“You asshole, we just separated, okay?”

Picking up the call and walking to the living room to sit down, the little Demon Lord didn’t even know how to complain anymore.

“Even if we just separated, I still miss you… I already can’t be apart from you for even a moment.”

“Li Yuki! Cut out this mushy crap, I don’t fall for that! Don’t forget I used to be a guy!”

Signaling him to get to the point, after knowing each other for so many years and understanding each other inside out, Her Majesty the Demon Lord didn’t believe Yuki was really this bored. There had to be a reason for this call.

“Oh, actually, I forgot something… this morning, not long after I got up, your phone got a call. It was your dad. You were taking care of Mango at the time, so you didn’t answer.”

Huh? That did seem to ring a bell. The little Demon Lord remembered that she had Yuki answer it for her in the morning. Anyway, it was probably just asking about how she’d been lately. They had been calling pretty frequently these days, all pretty low-nutrition topics, so she hadn’t really cared much.

“You didn’t seem to listen when I told you about it this morning. Anyway, your dad said he was going to drive over to see you… maybe to take you home or something. Hello? Lu Nrat, are you listening?”

At this moment, Eiru couldn’t answer anymore. Because she was focused on the call and searching for things, she had completely failed to notice what was happening outside the apartment.

Staring dumbfounded at the front door, Ei Yuan, with one hand carrying things and the other still holding the key in the door-opening position, was also staring back at her in shock.

For a moment, the scene fell into an extremely awkward atmosphere.
