Demon King – Chapter 636 – Mistakes Should Not Be Avoided

After being lectured by their younger daughter, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan returned to their room in rather heavy moods. They each busied themselves with their own things and stayed silent for a long while. The first to break the silence was still Liu Wan, who could not hold back her emotions.

“Why did you tell Eiya about this? I always hid it from her when I hit Eiru before… don’t you know she gets worked up the moment she hears things like this? Can you think about the consequences before doing something!”

At the dinner table, when Eiya curiously asked about the cause of her sister’s injuries, her dear father did not hold anything back. Right next to someone’s horrified gaze, he told her everything from start to finish. That was how the scene at the table earlier came to be.

“If you did something, you should take responsibility for it. What’s with all this hiding and covering up, does that look right? You think avoiding it and not letting her know will solve the problem? If she asks her sister, wouldn’t she find out anyway? Can you really hide it?”

As the head of the household, Ei Yuan really could not understand this line of thinking from his partner. Making a mistake and then wanting to cover it up? Come on, you’re the mother of two children. Ever heard of teaching by example? Do you want the kids to also become people who avoid problems and hide their mistakes?

“But this time it’s so serious. Fine, now look at this. Little Ya doesn’t even talk to us anymore. You satisfied now?”

“Satisfied with what? If you’re wrong, then admit it early and fix it openly. If you keep hiding it, maybe once she finds out, she’ll directly drag Little Lu and run away from home. Would you be more satisfied then?”

“And Little Lu has been home for so many days now. Haven’t you noticed?”

Ei Yuan slapped the bedside cabinet and shouted at her.

“In all these days, has she ever called us Mom or Dad even once? You still don’t realize how serious the problem is? You might not want these two kids, but I do. I’m telling you, no matter what happens, I absolutely cannot give up on the two of them!”

While the two of them were arguing, in Eiru’s room not far away, the two girls knew nothing about what was happening in their parents’ room. They were just inside petting the cat and chatting, giving off a strong sense of huddling together for warmth.

“By the way, why did you start wearing skirts? Didn’t you dislike skirts before?”

Reaching out to grab the little creature that flew past her head into her arms, the little Demon Lord looked over her sister’s rare nightgown outfit, while her other hand was also kneading her own companion beast, Hulu.

“I don’t have a choice. I’ve got an extra tail now… wearing pants isn’t convenient.”

Swinging the tail behind her, Eiya explained that her tail did not have the ability Eiru’s had to pass through clothes or be retracted. Wearing pants made it easy to press on her tail.

“You could wrap your tail around your waist?”

Making a circling motion around her own waist, Her Majesty the Demon Lord offered her sister a suggestion.

“I usually do that, but with pants it still gets pressed… so I can only wear skirts.”

“But sis…”

Eiya suddenly put both hands down in front of Eiru, lifted her head, and stared straight at her.

“W-what… what is it?”

“I’m sorry…”

As she spoke, guilt weighing on her heart, Eiya leaned her little head into her sister’s chest.

“Huh? Why are you suddenly apologizing?”

Eiru looked completely baffled, her brain not processing the situation at all. Out of nowhere, what were you apologizing for?

“Because… in the end, all the suffering you went through was because of me.”

After seeing her sister’s life, Eiya also knew just how much Eiru had sacrificed for her and for this family.

She had almost given up her entire childhood, and in the end what she got in return was only estrangement from her family. She was even beaten for no reason at all, and received those heartless words from the father she respected so much, words that broke her heart.

“I couldn’t even keep our promise… I’m sorry. I’ve always been dragging you down, sis, and always thought I was being clever.”

“It’s a small problem. As long as you’ve got me in your heart, that’s enough～”

Ruffling her sister’s hair, the little Demon Lord had always doted on her. Even if she was often immature, she could still tell that there was always a place for her in the other girl’s heart.

Even back when the two of them, as ‘siblings’, were in a cold war, and even when her rebellious streak flared up and she did not want to bother with her sister… didn’t they still order milk tea and always get one for the other, split a cookie in half to share?

But Eiya did not see it that way. She only felt that in the end, everything was her responsibility. If not for her, her sister should have enjoyed a normal life.

If not for her, Eiru would not have been kicked out of the house, and could have received her parents’ care. She would not have been turned into a Demon Lord by Amber Crystal because of her, and would not have squeezed her magic power dry and overdrawn her body for her sake, living every day on edge.

“Stupid loli, you have to think about the good side of things~ Without you, how would I have ended up with Stupid Yuki? If I didn’t turn into this loli form, I could only be brothers with him, right?”

“Remember how you used to yell about not letting Yuki steal me away or something… now you’re encouraging us in every way. Stupid loli~” As she spoke, Eiru reached out and poked her little lamb on the forehead.

“Because… I’ve seen everything you and Brother Yuki went through. Once you understand your story and your feelings, I think no one would oppose it, right?”

‘I was just afraid you’d get tricked away because you’re dumb, not trying to tie you down and forbid you from dating. Since you’re so important to each other and you trust each other, why block it at all?’

“Wait, you said you saw… what do you mean?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord sensed something was off. What did she mean by saw? That phrasing sounded really suspicious.

“Literally what it sounds like. Before, didn’t you keep me inside your body as part of the demon race to nourish and transform me, and only returned me recently? That part was inside you watching the whole time. When it came back to me, of course I saw it.”

“F-from… from when did it start?”

The little Demon Lord’s body trembled. If she understood correctly, didn’t this mean this girl had seen all of her experiences?

“From when you were seven~ And all those sneaky things you did with Brother Yuki, I saw all of them~ Sis, you’re super clingy.”

“Forget it. Forget it right now. Kids aren’t allowed to see such dirty stuff. You filthy loli, stupid little sister!”

Completely unsurprisingly, upon learning that she had been thoroughly seen through from every angle, the little Demon Lord went berserk on the spot. If not for her injured limbs making it hard to move, she would probably have already pounced over and the two sisters would be wrestling by now.

The next morning, after climbing out of bed, brushing her teeth, and washing her face, the little Demon Lord ate breakfast while staring at a wheelchair placed in the living room, falling into deep thought.

This thing… where did it come from? It wasn’t here yesterday, right? And no one else needs it. Don’t tell me it’s for me to sit in?

Imagining herself sitting on it while Ei Yuan and Liu Wan pushed her from behind, Eiru felt a wave of disgust. Forget it, forget it. Self-reliance was the true way. Who wanted those two to push her anyway?

“Little Lu, it’s not convenient for you to walk right now, so Mom and Dad had this custom-made for you…”

Ei Yuan came out and pushed the wheelchair in front of his daughter. Seeing the look of dislike on her face, he had a pretty good idea what she was thinking.

“Dad knows what you’re thinking… it’s electric. The controller is on the left side. You don’t need us to push it.”

‘Oh, that’s fine then.’

Hearing that, Her Majesty the Demon Lord found it much easier to accept. Driving it herself was fine, as long as she did not need those two to help her.

“Then, want to sit on it and try? If there’s no problem, we’ll use this to go see the doctor today?”

“Mm.”
