Demon King – Chapter 598 – A Serious Demon Lord Gives Yuki a Headache

Classmate Li Yuki had been a bit troubled lately. His usually troublemaking and slightly black-bellied mischievous little girlfriend had been acting very strangely these days.

It was not that her behavior was abnormal. On the contrary, it was too normal, or rather, too well-behaved. Given Eiru’s personality, she was either sprawled in the dorm acting cute and slacking off, or wandering around causing all kinds of inexplicable incidents.

But for the past few days, she had been quietly staying in the dorm, seriously researching things. Although her focused and hardworking look was also very cute, Yuki really was not used to it. Most importantly, his wife’s frequency of acting cute toward him had dropped!

“So what exactly are you fiddling with all day while staring at Hulu…”

As a complete outsider, Yuki did not understand any of this stuff. He could only twitch the corner of his mouth while watching Eiru grab the little creature all day to poke and study it.

“It’s my companion beast. There’s a mental connection between us… I’m thinking about whether I can use this to crack whatever’s locked in my head, at least figure out what kind of mechanism it is.”

And there were three Amber Crystal fragments. Since Hulu was one of them, maybe she could also use Hulu to look for clues about the other two fragments… or maybe directly lock onto their position or something.

The little creature currently lying on the desk with all four paws curled up did not seem to have any objections to being treated as a research subject lately. Anyway, Eiru would never hurt her, and during the research process she even poured some magic power into it and stuff. That actually felt pretty nice to her.

“Alright, Lu Brat, stop feeding it magic power already. Haven’t you noticed Hulu is already half the size of a computer case?”

During this time, everyone had also noticed that Hulu’s size changed along with the amount of magic power. Originally, the little thing was only about the size of a tissue box. At this size, it was probably not going to be able to lie on Eiru’s head anymore in the future.

Of course, compared to it, the big cat sprawled on the floor sleeping was even more outrageous. But at least that cat was clever. If strangers came, it knew how to hide. And cats were liquid, after all. Hiding was ridiculously convenient.

“What’s there to worry about? I’ll just draw the magic power back later.”

Without even turning her head, Her Majesty the Demon Lord said this as she continued probing the mental link between herself and Hulu with her magic power.

“You can draw it back too? You even have that skill?”

“Nope. Just saying it casually.”

“…”

Seeing how focused his little girlfriend was, Yuki did not have the heart to dampen her enthusiasm. It was rare for this girl to seriously invest effort into one thing, and he also knew the reason she was being so earnest and proactive.

“Oh right, I suddenly remembered… Lu Brat, you should still find some time to attend a few classes lately, at least show your face. Our homeroom teacher is already really unhappy about you skipping class.”

Thinking about how the homeroom teacher had blown up during their last class meeting, and considering all the future issues, Yuki felt it was necessary to remind her.

“Huh? There are still teachers who care about me skipping class? Is he new?”

Hearing this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord turned her head back in surprise. This remark itself was full of things to complain about.

‘What the hell do you mean new. Has attending class become an unbelievable concept in your eyes now…’

Yuki held his head and sighed. But he knew that this homeroom teacher was not easy to fool. At the very least, he was not the type from the Problem Class who just gave up and let students run wild.

“Our homeroom teacher only teaches Honor Classes. Someone like you who skips class all the time, I bet he has never seen before… He’s pretty serious about things, so this might not be that easy to brush off.”

“I see… then if I ignore him, what will happen?”

Tapping her finger against her lips as she thought, Her Majesty the Demon Lord grew curious about the style of this homeroom teacher she had never met.

Yes, never met. Although she had gone to the classroom a few times, since being assigned to the Honor Class, Eiru had not once met her homeroom teacher. Every single time she perfectly missed him. It was honestly absurd.

“He’ll probably call your parents. Generally speaking, those are the only tricks teachers have. Anyway, you can judge it yourself. You understand this stuff better than I do… I’ve never seen anyone skip class like you do.”

“To be honest, I still don’t really want to go. Even if I go, they’ll just keep muttering about how I cheated and stuff…”

The little Demon Lord stuck out her tongue.

“They gossip about me behind my back every day. Even getting familiar with their faces feels pointless.”

Although Eiru did not really care what other people thought of her, being talked about to her face still felt unpleasant to some extent. When she was not there, they could talk however they wanted. That was their business. But going over there to endure those weird looks… who would go looking for that kind of discomfort?

“But calling parents… that would be troublesome too. I guess I’ll go meet that serious homeroom teacher comrade.”

With Eiya in her current state, the family was definitely already swamped. Getting a parent call at a time like this, leaving aside whether it added to their burden or not, just her mother’s nagging alone would be enough to annoy her to death.

“So annoying. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone to the Honor Class. Now that my grades are good, my mom’s expectations of me are definitely even higher…”

Sighing, the little Demon Lord stood up and walked over to Yuki, opening her arms toward him.

“Hug me.”

“Alright, alright. But I have to go to class… are you going to meet the homeroom teacher?”

Reaching out to hold Eiru, lunch break was almost over. If it were not to spend more time with his wife, Yuki would have already dragged Ji Xian and Ziyu to the teaching building.

“Later. I’ll go after school in the afternoon.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord rubbed against Yuki’s chest, and even the tail behind her swayed back and forth.

“Stupid Yuki, look. I made such a huge sacrifice by going to the Honor Class just to be with you. Shouldn’t you…”

“Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll help you get dinner today too, okay?”

“Hehehe~”

—————

“Please, do you think I want to push everything onto my future self? Look at my current state. It’s not even stable. If I force it now, we’ll both be done for, alright?”

“But sister, you really do have procrastination issues, right? You really don’t have any thoughts of slacking off?”

“No, where did you even learn that word? This is called clear division of labor, tapping into my own potential, got it!”

Stomping her foot, the silver-haired girl said this to the girl in front of her who was about the same size.

“And I’m your brother! Stop calling me sister so happily! How did you adapt so fast anyway!”

“But sister, you’re a bit shorter than me right now. I think it’s already nice of me not to call you little sister?”

The black-haired girl looked completely innocent as she even stretched out her hand to compare the tops of their heads.

“I can still grow taller! All past Demon Lords were tall big sisters. You’re smug now, but when the time comes, I’ll absolutely look down on you in every way with my height!”

“Tch. Just afraid that sister still won’t grow much taller when the time comes~”

“You!!! You’re the one who won’t grow taller!”

“Bounce back!”

“Bounce back invalid!”

They bickered in that uniquely childish way, but there was no anger on either of their faces. Under the shade of the trees, the two little girls only wore bright smiles befitting their age.
