Demon King – Chapter 641 – Aren’t You a Boy?

When Jiaqi said “the homeroom teacher is here to catch you,” Eiru thought it was going to be some old otaku woman with a whole cabinet of figurines. She folded away her wings and stepped out to take a look, only to find that this was nothing like what she had imagined.

Eiya had followed along out of curiosity. Seeing her sister standing there dumbfounded, she opened her mouth to say something, only to be grabbed by a hand reaching out from the room behind her and dragged straight back inside by Jiaqi.

On the other side, the homeroom teacher was also lost in thought as he looked at the silver-haired loli in front of him. He did not know why, but he felt that this girl was strangely familiar, even though this should have been their first meeting.

And yet, the girl beside her, with a different hairstyle but otherwise looking almost like a twin, did not give him that feeling at all. Only this slightly more slender girl made him feel inexplicably familiar.

“Eiru?”

Before his brain had finished processing things, the word had already slipped out of his mouth. Even he did not know why he had suddenly called out that name, instinctively linking the girl in front of him with his own student.

The moment the words left his mouth, he realized how stupid he was being. Eiru was clearly a boy. Even if he could not remember what the kid looked like, they had definitely met before.

But then who was this child? He remembered that Eiru had a younger sister at home, but there should only be one. If this girl was his sister, then who was the other girl just now?

This was the downside of what a certain Demon Lord called her hinting ability. Even if no clear impression was left behind, even if no one could remember exactly what she looked like, the fact that they had met could not be erased.

So whether it was her loli body or her male form, as long as someone saw her again, they would feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Someone like the homeroom teacher directly linking her to her name in his head was not strange at all.

“Uh… h-hello, teacher…”

Having her name blurted out like that was an unexpected development, and it threw the little Demon Lord into a panic. Her mind went blank, and she responded with a full self-destruct level reply, completely stunning the person across from her.

‘Wait. I just randomly called out a name, and you really are Eiru? I know it was just a rumor, but how did a one-point-four-meter-tall little loli like this get spread around as the Seventh High school tyrant…’

The reactions from the two of them also left the parents at a loss. They could not tell what this situation was turning into at all. Had their child really never met her homeroom teacher before?

“Ah, that’s because I’ve been skipping classes all this time, so the teacher basically never saw me. It’s normal if you don’t recognize me.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord hurried to explain, because she could see the awkwardness on her homeroom teacher’s face.

Failing to recognize one’s own student was indeed pretty embarrassing for a teacher. But when it came down to it, this was the Demon Lord’s fault anyway, so since she had already blown her cover, she might as well give him an out.

“Ah… so that’s how it is. But shouldn’t you be… a boy?”

Watching his student suddenly turn from a boy into a one-point-four-meter-tall silver-haired loli, the teacher’s expression was indescribably strange as he tried to digest the information in front of him.

“Actually, Little Lu is a girl. It’s just that all her documents list her as a boy. We were planning to take her to get that changed after a while.”

“I see…”

After hearing the parents’ explanation, the veteran teacher was encountering this kind of situation for the first time, though he had heard of similar cases from colleagues before.

Some parents who desperately wanted a son would raise and educate their daughter as a boy. From the looks of it, Eiru’s family seemed to be one of those cases?

Even though something still felt off, this was someone else’s family matter, and it was not his place as a teacher to interfere. But suddenly, he realized another issue. Hadn’t Eiru been living on campus before?

“Wait. Even if the documents say male, you’re saying you knew Eiru was a girl, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. Is something wrong?”

Ei Yuan and Liu Wan exchanged a glance as they replied, not quite understanding what the teacher was getting at.

“I should remind you that she was staying in the boys’ dormitory at school. You let your own daughter live together with a bunch of boys?”

Having never thought about it before, the reminder hit the parents like a blow to the head. Their daughter had been sent into a wolf’s den? And they were the ones who sent her there? What had they even been doing?

“Little Lu, they didn’t do anything to you, did they? Something this important, how could you not tell us at all!”

Ei Yuan stood up in agitation, wanting to step forward and check on his daughter, but then remembered she was a girl now and pulled his movement back.

“Huh? They treated me pretty well… way better than you two, at least.”

She tossed out the sentence in a flat tone, glanced at Liu Wan on the sofa who looked like she was about to faint, and did not think it was anything worth worrying about.

‘What on earth was going on with this family…’

The homeroom teacher was completely unable to make sense of the situation now. At the very least, he could tell that Eiru’s relationship with her family was extremely bad. He guessed that this issue had caused some major conflicts between them.

But then again, how exactly had Eiru managed to blend into the boys’ dormitory… As he pondered that question, the teacher carefully sized up the girl in front of him. With her petite build, dressing her up as a somewhat androgynous little pretty boy did not seem all that difficult.

“nya~”

As if sensing the strange atmosphere, the massive creature that had been sprawled on the sofa sleeping lifted its head. Counting its tail, Gulu was now over one and a half meters long, and it was very easy to mistake it for an oversized plush toy.

Making its presence known, Gulu trotted over to its little owner and rubbed against her, successfully drawing everyone’s attention to itself and easing the tension in the room.

“Oh right, back to business… So Eiru taking leave was because she needed to change her documents? But she could still attend classes first. She shouldn’t fall behind.”

“No, teacher, you’ve misunderstood. Our Eiru is actually on leave because… her health isn’t very good.”

The parents explained awkwardly, pointing at Eiru squatting down to play with the cat. That was when the teacher finally noticed something was wrong with her.

They had been covered by gloves and long socks, so he had not seen them at first, but Eiru’s hands and foot joints were indeed wrapped in bandages. And judging from the way she walked, she had clearly suffered very serious injuries.

So it was sick leave then. In that case, why did you apply for personal leave for the kid? The teacher could no longer find words to describe the parents in front of him. Such a good child, and yet she had parents who handled things so unreliably.

“Then about the boarding arrangement, do you want to adjust it? You can’t keep letting her stay in the boys’ dormitory.”

“No, no. She’ll commute from now on. She won’t stay on campus anymore. Her father will be responsible for picking her up and dropping her off.”

Before Eiru could say anything, Liu Wan stepped in and finalized the decision.
