Demon King – Chapter 606 – The Demon Lord Prepares to Act (Bonus Chapter)

“I don’t know the exact circumstances or timing either, but overall, I’m not some product of transformation or natural birth. This body is completely constructed from Abyssal Amber.”

Raising her hand in front of her eyes and examining it, the Little Demon Lord felt somewhat lost. She did not know when she had become like this, but this body that did not belong to her yet also belonged to her…

‘Am I still me, after all?’

“While you’re examining yourself, could you at least take off the gloves?”

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Yuki casually tossed out a small jab to ease the atmosphere.

“Nope. That big crystal is a total pervert. It insisted on making this body ridiculously sensitive. I told you already, if I don’t wear gloves to put a layer in between, I get really uncomfortable.”

Yuki smiled and said nothing. He reached out and pulled the girl into his arms, using his actions to show his stance.

‘No matter who you are or what you are, I love you, and I’ll always be with you.’

After a brief moment of closeness, Her Majesty the Demon Lord wriggled out of Yuki’s embrace and continued discussing her sister’s situation with him. With so much information now in hand, even if many details were still unclear, she could already roughly guess what her past self had done.

“Do you think the old you took back the portion of power belonging to Amber Crystal from little Eiya before the transformation in her body officially began? Then used memories as chains to start sealing things… but why would you seal that information?”

Trying to infer his girlfriend’s past thinking, Yuki switched through several lines of reasoning, but still could not arrive at a logically sound conclusion. There was no helping it. Magic was completely outside his field. Just understanding one Eiru was not enough. And besides, the Eiru of the past might not have been someone he truly understood anyway.

The Little Demon Lord shook her head again, rejecting his conclusion. In her view, the fact that Eiya was still having problems now meant that that power was definitely still causing trouble. It was entirely possible that she had not taken that portion of power away at all.

Thinking about it carefully, Abyssal Amber back then was already at the end of its rope. As an existence born from its final strength, how could she possibly have had the ability to do anything extra? Perhaps back then she was not even as capable as an ordinary little girl, just a frail loli through and through.

“If I did that back then, I must have had my reasons… If I couldn’t take that power away, then did I take something else from Little Ya? Or did I seal something else instead?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord pondered this. At the very least, she now had a clear direction. In the coming days, she would need to go see her sister lying in the hospital bed. This time, no physical checks, no mental checks. All her focus would be on the soul.

“Let me be clear. You’re only allowed to check. If there’s any problem, you discuss it with me. No dangerous stuff.”

The moment he heard the word soul again, Yuki immediately tensed up, gripping both of her small hands as he warned her.

As selfish and unpleasant as it sounded, Yuki truly only cared about Eiru. His earlier willingness to take care of Eiya was purely because she was her sister.

No matter how important Eiya was to Eiru, if it really came down to choosing one over the other, Yuki would not hesitate to abandon Eiya and protect the girl in his arms.

Saving people was fine, but absolutely not at the cost of yourself. This was Yuki’s only demand of Eiru. He did not say it out loud, but he believed the clever little imp in his arms understood.

“Saying more is pointless. Go…”

He gently kissed her cheek.

“Remember, protect yourself. I can’t live without you. When you hesitate, think carefully about that sentence.”

Returning his hug, the Little Demon Lord spread her wings and walked toward the balcony. Before leaving, she glanced back. After receiving Yuki’s affirmative look, she kicked off with her legs, spread her wings, and left the dormitory.

“Bro Yukii, you totally missed out by skipping this class meeting! I’m telling you, the homeroom teacher suddenly announced that… wait, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so worried? Did your wife mess something up again?”

A loud and carefree voice rang out. One of the clownish roommates noticed the strange atmosphere the moment he walked in. After scanning the room and failing to spot the loli, the confusion only grew.

“Huh? Lu Brat… she went to take care of something. If all goes well, she should be back soon, right?”

Yuki adjusted his emotions and smiled as he responded to his good buddies.

‘There shouldn’t be any problems, right? Then why did I suddenly feel so uneasy? Lu Brat… she wouldn’t do anything dangerous. She promised me. She wouldn’t go back on her word.’

As if sensing Yuki’s emotions, Hulu, who had been lying on the desk, lifted its head and looked toward the direction Eiru had just left. Not only it, even the two cats that had been messing around on the floor quieted down.

“This atmosphere… what the hell is going on? Why does it feel like something big is about to happen…”

Jiaqi shivered, leaning over to whisper to Jixian, who indicated he felt the same way.

“Change the topic? Like… weren’t you trying to chase Yunyue? How’s that going?”

“Damn it, I just ate dirt not that long ago and you already want me to pursue another one? Forget whether that makes me look like a scumbag, I’m scared stiff over here.”

Faced with such a topic from his so-called friend, Jixian almost wanted to slap him.

‘You bastard just want to see me eat dirt again, don’t you? What kind of brother does that?’

“Don’t be scared. Isn’t she still living at your place? You’ve got tons of chances. Maybe your parents drop by sometime and you’ll even meet the parents early.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Haven’t I already met Yunyue? As a father, I fully approve of you two being together.”

“The hell you say… I’m gonna make you learn who the real dad is today!”

Amid the roughhousing and heckling, the atmosphere in the room returned to its usual lively state. Watching his group of clowns, Yuki could not help but be infected by the mood, his heart feeling lighter.

“So who do you think will invite us to a wedding banquet first, the little princess and Brother Yuki, or my son and Yunyue?”

“Obviously me and Lu Brat first… and seriously, you two should just hold hands and go get married already. You’re more compatible than any girl.”

Yuki laughed and joined in the heckling.

“Me and Lu Brat already internally resolved it. You two can learn from us.”

“Resolve your ass internally! Does this idiot look like a girl to you? Even if he were a girl, I’d rather throw him off and stay single for life than get together with this unlucky bastard.”

“What the hell? Normally it should be ‘I’d rather jump off myself’, right? What’s with throwing me off?”

“Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I jump off perfectly fine? If someone’s getting thrown, it’s definitely you.”

“Dad’s not gonna argue with you, but if you really were a girl, I guess I wouldn’t be totally against it…”

Stroking his chin, Ziyu suddenly voiced a terrifying opinion.

“Holy crap, I’m gonna puke. Don’t be so disgusting! Ziyu, have you gone insane from wanting a girl too much? Even the mosquitoes in our dorm only bite you, shouldn’t you be satisfied already?”

Amid the noise, laughter, and chaos, Dorm 1503 once again radiated an atmosphere of joy and explosive energy.
