Demon King – Chapter 60 – Just a Monster Girl

“So? Are these cosplay props?” While stroking the little demon lord’s wings and tail, Yuki didn’t look very convinced.

“Yes…” Enduring the physical discomfort, Eiru bit her lip and didn’t dare to elaborate.

The wings and tail were among her sensitive spots. If she didn’t bite down on something, she might’ve made a strange sound, which would completely give her away.

Yuki was also at a loss. No matter how he looked at it, the girl’s behavior was too suspicious. Although judging from her expressions and mannerisms, there didn’t seem to be any problems…

But that was only limited to people who weren’t familiar with her. In Yuki’s eyes, the girl’s behavior was completely different from her usual lively and mischievous self. Standing there quietly with her hands behind her back was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

“Then why didn’t I see them earlier?” From what he remembered a moment ago, the girl wasn’t wearing a tail or wings, and they looked like they were too big to just hide somewhere. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air.

“Because I just put them on…”

“Then why are you looking away?”

“Because the sun is getting in my eyes…”

Sunlight? Today was clearly cloudy! Even stray cats wouldn’t come up to sunbathe… Looking at the cloudy sky that blocked almost all the sunlight, Yuki didn’t even feel like pointing out how lame that excuse was.

‘Hurry up and let go, you bastard…’ His Majesty the Demon Lord endured the urge to pull her tail away from his hands, screaming internally.

“This texture… this must have cost quite a bit, right? These wings and tail look just like the real thing… How is this ring floating?” While speaking, Yuki even gently pinched the ring on her tail a few times.

“There are magnets inside! Think about it… we’ve known each other for so long, and you’ve never seen them before. If they were real, then how would I be able to hide them? They couldn’t have just suddenly appeared, right?” Putting on a brave front, Eiru was internally dying, but she tried her best not to show it.

“That’s true, I’ve known you for over two years now and never seen them before. Speaking of which, you still haven’t told me your name…”

“Well, about that… Eek!”  With Yuki looking at her somewhat resentfully, the little demon lord was about to brush it off when he suddenly pinched her tail hard. The sudden attack made her whole body tremble slightly…

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s static electricity, static electricity! I just got shocked! So why did you suddenly come back here?” Eiru waved her hands, gave a random explanation, then quickly changed the subject.

“Oh… didn’t you say you were also a student at Seventh High? I subconsciously mistook you for Eiru earlier and thought you were like him and skipping class. I came back to remind you that class is about to start…” Getting prompted by her, Yuki told her why he came back.

“Okay, okay! I got it! You should hurry to class!” Just for this? Her Majesty the Demon Lord was already feeling the urge to hit someone…

“Do you want me to walk you back to your classroom? What class are you in?”

“No need! Go to class by yourself! Let go of my tail!” Forcefully slapping the hand that Yuki was using to grab her tail and making him let go, the little demon lord directly pushed him to the stairway entrance.

“Alright, alright, then I’m leaving. Make sure to be on time…” Helplessly walking into the stairwell, Yuki looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Bye!” As her voice fell, Eiru slammed the door shut with a bang, and the rooftop door was heavily closed.

Lying against the door and listening for a while, after confirming there was no movement on the other side of the door, the little demon lord breathed a sigh of relief and crouched down by the door.

“I almost got exposed. If he treated me as a monster, my life would be ruined, and it’d be over for me…” Hugging her own tail and on the verge of tears, the little demon lord was really quite frightened this time.

“Silly…” Yuki actually hadn’t left. He heard everything as he leaned against the door…

When the girl yelped after having her tail pinched, although it was inconspicuous, he still noticed it. At that moment, he had already guessed what it was…

Wasn’t this just what people online often called a monster girl? Honestly, something like that scored more points from him… But he could understand why she would be worried, which was natural. After all, in real life, not everyone would be so open-minded.

The little demon lord, holding her head, had just calmed down and stood up when she was suddenly embraced by a pair of hands from behind.

“Eek?!” Her heart, which had just calmed down, started racing again. Her Majesty the Demon Lord was so frightened that her tail went rigid.

“Dealing with this all by yourself must have been hard on you…” Just from the voice, Eiru knew who was hugging her from behind.

“You you you… why did you come back again?!!” Not daring to move at all, the little demon lord’s voice trembled, not even daring to turn her head.

“I came to keep you company? I saw that you were scared, so I came to comfort you.” Pulling her in, he lifted her up in a princess carry.

“Aren’t your wings and tail cute?” He teased the little loli in his arms, making her blush.

“Don’t say strange things…” Covering her face with both hands, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Was this still the Yuki she knew? Did he take some wrong medicine?! Screaming internally, Eiru even suspected if the guy in front of her was an impostor.

Although she could break free from him and escape at any time, for some reason, she just couldn’t bring herself to do so…

Carrying her, Yuki walked over to the railing and sat down. One hand embraced the girl in his arms, letting her sit sideways on his lap.

“You… Do you already know everything?” Asking tentatively, Eiru somewhat suspected that he had known who she was all along.

“Hmm? I know about the wings and the tails now?”

“Aren’t you afraid of me? Having a tail and wings is pretty strange, isn’t it?” Completely opposite to her usual lively and mischievous self, Eiru was now curled up in Yuki’s arms like a child who had done something wrong.

“I’m not afraid. Aren’t you quite cute?” Pinching the girl’s cheeks a couple of times, Yuki smiled.

“But looking at it this way, although some parts are different, you’re quite similar to a video game character. One that Eiru and I used to play… you’re just missing a pair of horns on your head.”

“I have them…” Her Majesty the Demon Lord placed both hands on her horns, and with a gentle motion, the pair of blue-purple curved horns she had hidden were revealed…

“You really do have them… Does Eiru know about your secret?” Yuki curiously touched the horns on her head.

“He knows…” Since it seemed he still didn’t know that she was actually his best friend, Eiru went along with the opening he had given her.
