Demon King – Chapter 622 – Manly Men… A Manly Man Who Can’t Think of a Title

Today was the first weekend that a certain girl spent staying at the hotel. What was surprising was that Yuki, the well known wife doting maniac, was instead staying at home today and did not run off to the hotel to accompany his little girlfriend.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Yuki looked restless. His gaze kept drifting back and forth between the wall clock and the kitchen, as if he were calculating the timing of something.

“Bro, you’re not going out today? I remember that even when you came back on weekends before, you’d still go out to play…”

From the guest room, Xueli stuck her head out through the doorway. As she spoke, she was still chewing on a potato chip.

Because of her studies, she had to stay at Yuki’s place temporarily for quite a long while. But even though she was living here, she had no idea what had been going on around Yuki lately, nor did she know what kind of situation his future sister in law was in.

“By the way, what are you stewing? Is it for Second Uncle? He’s not resting today, right? Are you going to bring it over to him later?”

Soon, the beeping sound of steam from the pressure cooker came from the kitchen. Before Xueli could even finish speaking, the door to the master bedroom opened.

“Who said he’s not resting today? You mess around with your chaotic junk all day and don’t even know who’s at home, huh?”

Feeling a bit speechless toward his cousin, Yuki scolded her while suddenly remembering that he had something he wanted to discuss with his dad.

“Little Li, help me keep an eye on the soup on the stove. I’ve got something to talk to my dad about…”

Leaving her with that instruction, Yuki stood up and went over to pull his dad along. Officer Li understood right away and followed his son back into the room, closing the door behind them.

“Stewing it for that girl?”

Officer Li had also heard the sounds coming from the kitchen. His son rarely cooked soup or anything like that. Aside from for the two of them as a couple, the only one who would get that kind of treatment was probably his future daughter in law, Eiru.

“Yeah, but Dad… can you help find her a doctor or something? Lu Brat’s situation is a bit…”

“Didn’t she say she didn’t want to? Why bring this up again? What happened now?”

Officer Li frowned. He was also very eager to have Eiru receive a professional medical examination and treatment as soon as possible.

But the orders from above were very clear. On the premise of ensuring her safety and not letting her find out, Eiru’s own wishes were the top priority. So if she did not agree, no matter how anxious they were, there was nothing they could do.

“Nothing special really happened… it’s just that the weather’s getting colder, and Lu Brat might start having some problems.”

Once the weather turned cold, Eiru’s hidden ailments would be affected to some degree. The most direct manifestation was that in cold weather, her hands and feet would noticeably lack strength. And coupled with her current condition, Yuki was really worried about what would happen in winter.

After coming clean about her identity, the little Demon Lord had also told Yuki about the main source of her hidden ailments. Back when she was first learning how to fly, because she was unfamiliar with it, she kept bumping into things and falling from heights, getting injured that way.

“The worst injury back then was to my left hand. Even though I did get it reattached and all… when it gets cold, during the worst few days you know about, even lifting a workbook becomes difficult.”

But when situations like that happened, she could forcibly use magic to drive it. So in Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s view, as long as it did not affect her daily life, there was no need to pay much attention to it.

“Now that she’s injured like this, it’s definitely going to worsen together with those aftereffects. In previous winters there were days when she couldn’t lift things. This winter, I’m afraid she won’t even be able to raise her hand.”

“I see. I’ll ask those doctors for their opinions… and since you’re closer to that girl, you should also do more psychological work on her and get her to obediently accept treatment.”

With both hands on Yuki’s shoulders, Officer Li felt that this situation also needed to be reported upward.

The more they understood and fed back Eiru’s condition, the better they could prepare in advance according to her situation. That way, once she finally agreed, they would not be scrambling at the last moment and could provide her with the most comprehensive medical services right away.

After that, Yuki also took the opportunity to discuss Eiru’s family situation with his dad. Officer Li’s stance was to see what Eiru herself wanted. After something like this happened, even toward an old friend he had a good relationship with, it was hard for him not to feel disappointed and resistant.

If Eiru wanted to go home, he would not stop her either. The choice was in Eiru’s hands. He would simply look after her as much as possible before she made a decision.

“Dad, honestly… even if she wants to go back, I’m really not willing to let her. What kind of parents treat their child like that and beat her into this state?”

Compared to the emotionally agitated Yuki, his dear dad was far calmer and more rational about it. Working in this line, he had seen scenes far more outrageous than this.

Things like parents finding childcare troublesome and directly stuffing the child into a bag and hanging them up, only to not even realize they were injured after falling. Or getting drunk and muddle headed, mistaking identities and beating their own son half to death thinking he was someone else.

Not every day perhaps, but every few days, Officer Li would receive cases that left people not knowing how to react. And even within his own family, on his wife’s side, wasn’t there also an example of someone who abandoned a child and then shamelessly came back wanting to act like a parasite?

So regarding Eiru’s family situation, he would not say it was nothing. But having seen so many absurd things, he would not be particularly shocked or emotional about it either.

That was why he did not think there was anything wrong with his son’s thoughts. It was a very normal reaction. No matter who you asked to take a look, no one would think those two in Eiru’s family were qualified parents.

Do those two care about Eiru? If you say they do not, they have always had the intention of grooming Eiru to inherit the family business, and that intention has not changed to this day.

But if you say they do care, then they have put the majority of their attention on the other child instead. Under the so-called idea that boys should be independent and self-reliant, not only did they let Eiru suffer grievances, they also hypnotized themselves, slapping a justified label onto their neglect of their child.

This was also a problem many parents had. They fundamentally did not know they were wrong. They only believed that they had done their best, and that it was the child who was immature and troublesome.

As someone who had been through it, parents indeed had more life experience than children, and they would use their own experience and standards to handle matters involving their kids. This attitude, which could be called arrogance, made it difficult for them to face the opinions of those immature children. More often than not, they believed they themselves were correct.

Officer Li was also aware that he had this issue to some extent. But rationality also made him understand one truth more clearly. Nothing was absolute. Even the most experienced veteran could still make mistakes.

That was why the way Officer Li and Yuki interacted had always been based on mutual supervision, tolerance, and understanding. From a young age, he had repeatedly told Yuki that parents could also make mistakes, and that if there were any problems, he must speak up.

But unfortunately, this father spent most of his time working away from home and did not have many opportunities to spend time with his son. And compared to him, Yuki’s mother was not nearly so easy to talk to.
