Demon King – Chapter 632 – Catching Up

“What? She was taken back? Went home?”

Yuki rarely lost his composure like this. He had originally planned to come over after school today to check on his little girlfriend and keep her company. Instead, when he arrived, the room was empty, her things were gone, the cats were gone, and the person herself was nowhere to be found.

Thinking she might have been taken away by someone who showed up at the door and bundled her off, Yuki panicked and immediately called his old man. The reply he got left him seething.

“They already did all that, and you still let her go back?! You should have brought her to our place instead! What kind of bullshit is this!”

He wanted to complain about why something this big was not even mentioned to him, but then he remembered it. That stubborn little girl had lost her phone. She really did not have any way to contact him.

“Damn it, I should have bought her a phone back then. Even if she refused, I should have forced it on her.”

After hanging up, Yuki grumbled in frustration. No way to contact her really was a massive pain.

He had planned to buy one for her originally, but that stubborn girl refused no matter what and would not let him spend more money. Since she was going to stay obediently at the hotel for a while anyway, Yuki had temporarily shelved the matter.

Eiru’s home was still some distance from the school. Going over at this hour, there was no guarantee he would make it back to the dorm before lights out. And without any way to confirm the situation over there, Yuki did not dare to just show up directly.

It was not that he was afraid of those trash parents. At worst, he could go over and give them a good verbal thrashing, listing out everything they had done to their daughter over the years. Even if it came down to forcibly taking her away, reason would still be on Yuki’s side.

What he was really worried about was causing trouble for his little girlfriend. When it came to things involving her, Yuki felt he needed to stay rational. He could not be sure whether she still had any lingering attachment to that home. Charging in headfirst might not be the best outcome.

At this very moment, in the home of the two girls, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was sitting on the living room sofa, using her own tail like a cat teaser to play with a little tabby. Beside her, Eiya was hugging the big cat and frantically burying her face in its fur, sucking it nonstop while the poor thing kept letting out nya nya sounds.

“Big sis, you think Gulu is this huge, so why does she sound so babyish when she meows?”

“Maine Coons are like that…”

Leaning back and slumping into the sofa, the little Demon Lord continued to occasionally lift her tail to tease the little tabby on the floor.

Using a tail to tease cats was something only Eiru could pull off. Eiya had tried it before too. The result was that in under three rounds, her sensitive tail got grabbed. The electric shock-like sensation made her collapse on the spot and declare defeat.

“By the way, where are Mom and Dad? Not home again today?”

“No idea, probably out busy with something. Anyway it has nothing to do with me. And while you’re at it, mention them less in front of me.” As she spoke, the Demon Lord extended a hand toward her little sister.

“Lend me your phone for a bit. I need to look for someone.”

“Looking for Brother Yuk? Then where’s your phone?”

Though confused, Eiya handed her phone over.

“Lost it at the rental place. Too lazy to look for it.”

“As expected of you…”

Although that pair of parents really were trash and useless, this time they genuinely went out to get real things done. They had seen Eiru’s injuries for themselves. This time they went out to see if they could find a suitable doctor.

So Officer Li, who had the same thought, contacted Ei Yuan again, planning to introduce him to the medical team dispatched from above.

The order from above was that they could not go against Eiru’s personal wishes or affect her life, so they could not directly come to her or make contact. They had not been able to find a chance at all. But if they could not intervene directly, then having her parents do it would solve the problem.

Officer Li did feel like this move had a bit of a passing the buck and making someone else play the bad guy vibe. After all, only he knew about Eiru’s relationship with her family. But considering the child’s physical condition could not be delayed, he did not say much.

And from Ei Yuan, he also got new information. That was that Eiya, who had recovered her memories, had told her parents certain things.

On the first night after Eiru returned home, Eiya, knowing that her parents were already aware of her sister’s situation, snuck into their room in the middle of the night and told them about a very serious issue.

Based on information obtained from the Insurance Mechanism, Eiru was still in an incomplete state. So once she expended too much magic power or suffered serious injury, extremely severe problems would arise.

“Although my sister’s body has very strong self healing ability, if it is not handled properly, it will just keep running into a dead end and wasting effort.”

Just like the hidden injuries on Eiru’s body. Her bones had been set wrong, so her self-healing ability could never achieve a satisfactory result. It just kept consuming magic power pointlessly. In the end, due to a lack of magic power, Eiru would fall into that same continuous weakening state that had appeared before.

So the couple rushed out early the next morning to look for doctors. Then, through Officer Li’s introduction, they met the medical team arranged from above.

What was a bit coincidental was that the leader of the team, the doctor who was scheduled to become Eiru’s dedicated physician, turned out to be a friend of Ei Yuan and Officer Li. The three of them had a very good relationship. Was it that their connections were wide, or was the world just that small?

“I really didn’t expect the person Officer Li introduced to be you, Yuze. To be honest, if he hadn’t introduced you, I was planning to come ask you anyway.”

Having not seen each other for a long time, Ei Yuan excitedly grasped the other man’s hand. Back in the day, the three of them had been genuine close brothers. When it came to this matter, there really was no more suitable candidate than him.

“Hahaha, you flatter me. If something comes up, I’ll definitely help. But when he first introduced it, he didn’t tell me it was your daughter.”

“There are some complications with my daughter’s situation. We still need…”

As he exchanged pleasantries, Ei Yuan suddenly looked troubled. He knew that Eiru’s issues needed to be kept confidential, otherwise it would definitely bring a lot of trouble later.

“Officer Li already told me about it. Don’t worry. But thinking about it, back then we started calling him Officer Li as a joke because he said he wanted to be a cop. And now, hahaha.”

“Yeah, and didn’t you also achieve what you said back then, becoming a doctor? Everyone’s doing pretty well now…”

While catching up and discussing serious matters at the same time, without a certain girl knowing anything about it, her medical treatment plan was decided just like that by the group.

“Oh right, shouldn’t we reapply for documents for Little Lu, like household registration and all that? Otherwise she’s still basically undocumented right now.”

With things arranged, Liu Wan suddenly remembered this on the way back.

“Half undocumented. She still has her old identity from when she was a boy, doesn’t she? If there are inspections or anything, just have her change back first. Let’s treat her injuries first. There’s no rush on the household registration.”
