Demon King – Chapter 627 – Changes and the Truth

Outside the hospital ward, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan, who had rushed over in a hurry, were talking with the nurse who had been waiting there the whole time, asking about their younger daughter’s condition.

“Doctor, my daughter has woken up, right? How is she now, can we go in and see her?”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. She has woken up, that’s correct… but there are some things we need to explain to you in advance. You’ll need to be mentally prepared.”

Faced with the anxious parents, the nurse looked somewhat troubled. It seemed she did not quite know how to explain the current situation, giving people a hesitant, stop-start sort of feeling.

In the empty ward, Eiya, who had been offline for who knows how long, sat on the bed, somewhat bored as she looked around at the ceiling and the scenery outside the window.

The noisy commotion at the ward entrance also caught her attention. She guessed it was probably the nurse explaining things to the people outside? In her heart, Eiya speculated that maybe her family had come to see her…

Because some rather special conditions had appeared on Eiya’s body, the hospital had arranged a dedicated nurse to look after her. During the time she was sleeping, she had also digested quite a bit of the extra information and memories that had appeared in her mind. After waking up, she had noticed some changes in her own body as well.

“So this is what big sis was talking about… the transformation that already happened and couldn’t be dealt with in time?”

Looking at the slender tail that had appeared between her legs, Eiya felt a bit speechless, but not particularly surprised.

Different from her sister’s, this little tail of hers was clearly in an underdeveloped state… like something that had grown halfway and then been forcibly stopped.

Eiru’s tail had a very beautiful purple-blue gradient, with a much more complex structure. Eiya’s was different. It was simply a hollow heart shape, and the color was also a kind of faded white.

The hospital side was also completely baffled. How did this kid suddenly grow an extra part while sleeping? But after comprehensive sampling and examinations, they discovered that Eiya had only gained this tail… everywhere else, she was completely no different from an ordinary human girl.

Recalling her childhood memories, Eiya did know what this was about. Because the Amber Crystal transformation started before birth, Eiru had taken away the parts of her that had already been transformed into demon kind. This tail now was merely the manifestation of the demon kind portion that remained.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you take care of this part properly… once it’s returned later, you’ll just have an extra tail, that’s all. You won’t even count as a half-demon, you’ll still be an absolutely pure human girl, you know～”

Her sister’s words from before sealing her memories still echoed in her ears. Letting out a helpless sigh, Eiya casually started fiddling with the newly grown tail on her body.

“It’s a pity I don’t have big sis’s ability to retract it? It’ll probably still affect daily life a bit…”

As she was talking to herself, the ward door was pushed open. Not only her parents, but also her uncle and aunt, along with quite a few relatives, had rushed over after hearing that she had woken up.

Eiya was startled and instinctively tried to hide her tail, but she was still a step too slow. Ei Yuan and Liu Wan, who entered first, saw the thing she was holding in her hand. Even though the nurse at the door had already explained it, they still froze for a moment.

“Your daughter just has an extra tail. We’ve already given her a full physical examination… there are no adverse reactions. We even invited biology experts to assess it. She’s not some kind of monster, she’s still just an ordinary human girl.”

Everyone in this family knew about the Daughters of Amber Crystal. Hearing that Eiya had grown an extra tail was not all that surprising. After all, many families who had Daughters of Amber Crystal had done analyses and summaries, speculating whether those lumps appearing on the girls’ backs were undeveloped wings or tails or something like that.

“No need to hide it, Dad and Mom don’t mind this…”

Ei Yuan stepped forward and gave his daughter a big hug.

“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters, as long as you’re fine…”

“Mm…”

Being hugged, Eiya also hugged her father back. Her gaze swept through the crowd, but she did not find the figures she was looking for.

“Um, where’s my brother? And Brother Miao didn’t come either?”

As soon as this question came out, the expressions of the relatives all turned awkward. Noticing their reactions, Eiya tilted her head, even more puzzled.

“Your Brother Miao is away on a business trip. As for your brother… something happened, so he can’t come over for now.”

Liu Wan explained awkwardly. She felt that some kind of change had appeared in her daughter, but she could not quite put her finger on what it was.

“Right, do you still remember the day your brother came to see you?”

Ei Yuan also remembered the important matter, placing his hands on Eiya’s shoulders as he tried to confirm something with her.

“Emmmmm, I remember… and then I just kept sleeping until I woke up these past few days, right? You mean that day?”

“Yes yes, what did he do to you that day… do you have any impression?”

“I don’t remember much… but being able to wake up, I really have my brother to thank for handling the Amber Crystal matter.”

In front of her parents and a whole crowd of relatives, Eiya spoke out the truth.

“Don’t look at me like that… I’m not stupid.”

Seeing everyone’s incredulous expressions, Eiya covered her mouth and chuckled.

“Even if you all kept it from me, I could still use my own methods to investigate what was going on with my body. And my brother knew too, it was him who helped me solve this problem. Without him, I probably wouldn’t have made it, right?”

Watching their daughter smile as she spoke these truths, Liu Wan finally understood what that sense of change she had just felt was. Compared to before she fell asleep, the Eiya who had woken up was livelier in temperament, but also much calmer… she no longer had that tendency to suddenly fly into a rage while talking.

“So… your brother… saved you?”

Ei Yuan found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

‘Eiru’s previous actions… were they to save his younger sister?’

Although Ei Yuan really wanted to say that stabbing someone with a knife hardly counted as saving them, after calming down and hearing the word Amber Crystal, he suddenly remembered… that dagger in Eiru’s hand, it seemed they had never found it afterward?

The ward was only so big, she could not have taken it away. It could not have just vanished into thin air, right? But if it was something related to the Amber Crystal, then nothing that happened would be strange… saving someone through such a terrifying scene did not seem entirely impossible either.

“Mm… He helped me solve the Amber Crystal problem. Now I’m no longer a Daughter of Amber Crystal. But rather than solving it… it’s more like my brother took on the ‘curse’ from the Amber Crystal in my place.”

Eiya tapped her finger against her lips. Having received all the memories and information from the Insurance Mechanism, she spoke a sentence that made the expressions of the entire family in front of her change drastically, like a bolt from the blue.

“So now… she should be the ‘Daughter of Amber Crystal’ instead.”
