Demon King – Chapter 601 – Poaching Is Not Okay

“So why are you following me the whole time?! We are not even that familiar!”

She stomped her foot. With someone tailing her nonstop like this, the little Demon Lord felt she was already being very restrained by not cursing on the spot.

She never liked getting too close to people she was not familiar with. Even though sometimes, out of a desire for friends, she could be relatively warm toward people around her, this kind of directly sticking close, with conversations that did not even really click… if this guy had not outright provoked her, and if not for basic politeness making it awkward to throw hands, she would have kicked him away long ago.

“Because wandering around alone makes it easy to run into those robbers again. Wouldn’t it be better to follow senior sister and find a protective umbrella?”

Grinning a little foolishly, Wei did not really have any crooked intentions, but he admitted that he truly was attracted to the delicate and special loli in front of him.

A silver-haired loli senior sister! With that lively delinquent girl vibe, super cute looks, and she even jumped out to help him in a crisis… a loli stacked with this many rare attributes, any teenage boy would feel something stir in his heart, right?

“Tch… then why did you run out here in the first place? Study hard and improve every day, got it? Why is a student running around outside? Skipping class will get you caught, you know that?”

‘No, the way you are saying this really makes it sound like you are not skipping class yourself…’

Looking at the loli senior sister in front of him who had annoyance practically written all over her face, Wei was screaming complaints in his heart.

“I can guess what you are thinking. I am in the Honor Class, you know~ For me, strolling around here does not affect my studies at all. Not just anyone can copy that~”

She stuck out a finger and waved it in front of him, Eiru suddenly putting on a senior’s posture as she started lecturing this junior of hers.

“Huh? Second-year Honor Class? You?”

Even after the explanation, at least confirming that the girl in front of him was not some thug, that delinquent girl aura still made it hard for Wei to associate her with the image of a top student.

He definitely did not believe it. If Eiru really was a good student, then him following her around skipping class together would be painfully awkward.

It was like when you partied hard with your classmates all vacation, ready to face the storm together when school started, only to find out once you got there that they had all finished their homework already…

In Wei’s mind, Eiru’s image right now was also that type who hated studying just like him, skipped class directly, and lay flat. A delinquent girl, but not doing dirty things. The kind of simple-minded little hoodlum who loved standing up for justice and teaching small-time punks a lesson…

But when he thought about how such an amazing loli already had a boyfriend, his heart could not help but clench.

‘Which damn delinquent boy had tricked her? Could it be that after getting beaten up by her, he chose to use some other way to control her?’

“Senior sister, have you really not considered being my girlfriend? I think those little punks are not worth you putting your heart into… is someone like that really reliable as your boyfriend?”

Thinking it through like that, Wei became even more determined to pull this fallen girl out of the mud. His preconceived impression still made him feel that her boyfriend was definitely not a good person. Since that was the case, why not try himself? No matter what, he would not lose to some street punk, right?

“Huh? What nonsense are you saying? You are calling my wife a punk?”

Eiru froze for a moment, then her expression instantly cooled down.

“No no no, I mean, senior sister, you are always dealing with these kinds of people. Maybe after fighting them for a while you got familiar, got feelings and all… I really cannot think of what other kind of people you would associate with, but I just feel these people are not worthy of you?”

Realizing he seemed to have stepped on a landmine, Wei saw her fists clench and did not dare comment on that “wife” remark in her words, hurriedly explaining instead. It was not like he thought her punches hurt that much, but if he made her angry, how was he supposed to pursue her later?

“Let me make this clear first. I have zero interest in those punks. Don’t lump my wife together with them.”

Her clenched fist relaxed once more. Even though she knew it was a misunderstanding, having Yuki spoken ill of was absolutely her biggest trigger, so her tone remained icy.

“If I really had to say there is something admirable about them, it would be that brotherhood of theirs. But bullying others and robbing money, I despise that kind of behavior from the bottom of my heart, so there is no way I would take that kind of person as my wife.”

“And also, even though I know you said it because you don’t know him, if you dare say bad things about him again, I will beat you up on the spot. Not joking… and stop thinking about poaching either. I am very devoted and responsible. Once I have promised him, I will do my duty properly. Even though I have not yet…”

She patted her chest as she warned him and rejected his proposal. Just as the Demon Lord was about to say the words “have not fallen in love with him yet,” she suddenly realized her words got stuck right there.

Eiru did not realize that demons were actually a very pure race, and Demon Lords even more so. Words that went too strongly against their true feelings would instinctively meet resistance, and forcing them out was genuinely difficult. Just like before, when she could not respond to Yuki saying “I love you.”

“A-Anyway, poaching is not okay. Since your starting point was good, I will not hold it against you… remember this. Girls with boyfriends, or boys with girlfriends, are off-limits. You are not allowed to flirt with them, got it?”

Just as she was putting on a senior’s tone and lecturing the junior in front of her, she suddenly felt a pair of hands slip under her arms and lift her straight up.

“You really made me look for you, Lu Brat. I said you could relax a bit, but I did not tell you to really run around outside like this, did I? Got into another fight again?”

The little Demon Lord was just about to see which reckless bastard dared to pick her up like this, but when she heard that voice, she instantly went from an irritable cat to a soft little kitten, her whole body melting in his arms.

“I was just bored and came out for a walk… I did feel like fighting, but it did not happen. They ran too fast.”

She answered softly, the Demon Lord resting her hands lightly on Yuki’s arms around her, her head gently rubbing against his neck.

This scene had already left Wei completely stunned. The violent little delinquent girl who looked ready to beat someone a moment ago suddenly became as soft as the girl next door. The contrast was way too huge for him to process right away.

“And this is?”

Yuki also noticed the boy in front of him, and there was a hint of wariness and displeasure in his tone. This guy was alone with my wife just now?

“Oh, a junior who skipped class and ran out~ He got robbed, so I helped him out, and then he kept sticking to me.”

“Oh… I see.”

Hearing that, Yuki relaxed. He could tell that the boy in front of him posed no competitive threat, and once he knew the background, he stopped worrying.

“My girlfriend is pretty hard to deal with, right? Don’t let that delinquent look fool you, she is actually really cute~”

Yuki pinched the girl’s cheek in his arms, with a bit of a showing-off vibe.

“What are you showing off for? You picked these clothes for me too. If people mistake me for a little hoodlum, that is all on you!”

“That is because your own vibe fits it. The clothes just highlight it more, okay? And are you not super cute like this?”

Faced with this public display of affection, the awkward Wei was already completely dumbfounded. The senior sister’s contrast made his heart flutter even more, but at the same time, it clenched painfully. Did he just get heartbroken or what?
