Demon King – Chapter 651 – A Sense of Happiness in the Bitter Cold

“Yuki, let me tell you, the homeroom teacher today was really…”

The moment Jiaqi opened the dorm door, he realized something was off inside. He immediately backed out and shut the door.

“Sorry, my bad.”

“Jiaqi, you’re done with your thing?”

Jixian and Ziyu had just gotten the takeout and were stepping out of the elevator when they saw Jiaqi retreating from the dorm. They quickly called out to stop him.

“If you’re going back, take your portion first…”

When they reached the dorm door, Jixian reached for it, but Jiaqi grabbed his hand and stopped him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well… Lu Brat is inside.”

Jiaqi said awkwardly.

“We probably shouldn’t go in right now.”

“Huh? The little princess is back? Haven’t seen her in ages. Shouldn’t we give our dorm pet a proper welcome?”

Hearing that Eiru was back, Ziyu got even more eager and reached for the door, but Jiaqi planted himself firmly in front of the two of them.

“Yuki is helping Lu Brat change clothes. If you go in now, the three of us are getting our eyeballs gouged out.”

“Ah… then just now?”

The two of them remembered clearly seeing Jiaqi close the door when they came out of the elevator. That meant…

“No, I didn’t see anything. She had her back to me, and Yuki was blocking her.”

Jiaqi denied it immediately, fighting to save his eyeballs.

And Jiaqi really wasn’t lying. That girl with her arms spread out did have her back to him, and with Yuki blocking her, all he could see were her gloves, her long stockings, and those cute little leather shoes.

Even if he couldn’t see what state Eiru was in, with Yuki holding a small dress in his hands, it wasn’t hard to guess how much fabric the girl in front of him had on. Good thing Jiaqi retreated fast. Otherwise, Yuki might have chased him down the street later.

Inside the room, the little Demon Lord had just put on a small shawl and turned toward the door to peek, only to have Yuki push her back again.

“What are you looking at? Take the shawl off and put the dress on first.”

“Just now… he didn’t see, right?”

With her hands raised high, Her Majesty the Demon Lord obediently let Yuki slip the sleeveless dress onto her, though her head still kept sneaking glances toward the door.

“You’re worried about that?” Yuki looked at her. “I thought you weren’t afraid of stuff like this.”

“I’m not afraid, but if someone sees… you’d be unhappy, right?”

She shook her head as she spoke. Hearing that, Yuki didn’t know whether to feel happy or annoyed.

“If you know that, then be more careful. Have some self awareness, you dumb girl.”

Yuki wasn’t expecting this girl to suddenly develop any kind of proper girl consciousness anytime soon. As long as she cared about him and paid attention to what would make him unhappy, that was enough. He could just latch onto that and slowly guide her.

“OK. So? How is it? Does it look good?”

After changing into the cute dress, the little Demon Lord spun around in place, one hand lifting the not very long skirt, the other tapping her lips as she asked for his opinion.

The black and blue color scheme carried a sense of elegance and splendor that didn’t lose out to white and gold. With the star decorations on the dress, it gave the silver-haired girl an air of a noble princess.

Compared to Eiya’s slightly goofy cuteness, Her Majesty the Demon Lord embodied mischievous charm to perfection. Unlike her younger sister’s somewhat restrained vibe, she was much more lively, her naturally impish little devil aura fully on display.

Yuki found himself staring. The dress was a short skirt with a sleeveless design, completely unrestrictive for his girlfriend’s energetic nature. It was clearly an elegant and noble outfit, yet on her it gave off a completely different feeling.

“Say something, idiot.”

Seeing Yuki still not reacting, the little Demon Lord bent forward slightly, tilted her head, and looked up at his dazed face from below.

“Say something. If you don’t, I won’t know if you like it.”

Puffing out her cheeks, Eiru reached out and poked Yuki’s chin with a finger.

That poke flipped some kind of switch. Yuki suddenly pulled the girl in front of him into his arms, startling her into shouting in surprise.

“Hey, what are you doing!”

“Wife. Wife, you’re so cute. Let me hug you. I can’t hold back!”

The noise the two of them made inside wasn’t small at all. At the very least, the three people eavesdropping outside now knew that Eiru had finished changing.

And with Yuki shouting nonstop about hugs and kisses and lifting her up, they could guess the couple was being all lovey dovey inside. So the three of them really didn’t know whether it was appropriate to go in right now.

“Hey, it’s cold. If we don’t go in and eat, the food’s going to get cold.”

“The couple inside is all fired up. Can you not say something so mood killing?”

“I’m a practical person. You want to eat cold food? If it really won’t work, we can go eat next door.”

“What about Yuki’s portion?”

“He can eat his wife.”

After a brief discussion, the three of them directly went as a group into the neighboring dorm, using not having their keys as an excuse. But with hot food stuffed into their mouths, thinking about how the couple next door was still feeding each other dog food, the three of them felt like even the food they were eating had lost its flavor.

“They’re probably still waiting for us outside, right? Should we call them?”

After being affectionate for a while, it was the considerate little Demon Lord who first remembered that there were still people waiting outside. Just as she was about to go open the door, Yuki grabbed her and pulled her back into his arms.

“What, haven’t you hugged enough? I can hug you anytime, but shouldn’t we open the door for them first? It’s cold out there. It’s not good for them to stand outside in the wind.”

“Of course it’s not enough. No, that’s not it. You know it’s cold, and you still dare go open the door dressed like that? Trying to freeze to death?”

Yuki really did dote on his girlfriend. Cute as the dress was, one look told you it wasn’t suitable for this weather. Braving the cold air just to show off her new outfit and get his reaction was really making things hard for the girl.

“I’m using magic to keep warm. That’s fine, you don’t have to wor… mm?!”

Before the little Demon Lord could finish, Yuki had already unzipped his coat and pulled her straight inside.

“It’s better to use less magic. It’s directly linked to your physical condition, right? Is it warmer now?”

Spreading his coat open to wrap her small body inside, Yuki asked softly, using his own body heat to warm her. Right now, he was Eiru’s coat and her little heater, shielding her from all the cold wind of this winter weather.

“Mhm.”

She rubbed her little head against the person behind her, clearly loving this way the two of them interacted.

Zero distance contact, feeling each other’s body heat. That sense of security from being held in his arms. Most importantly, being able to feel Yuki’s heartbeat.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s cute little face was now flushed red. Not from shyness, and not from the cold wind either.

It was because of an indescribable sense of happiness. The happiness of being protected and cared for by the one she loved.
