Demon King – Chapter 653 – The Grass by the Nest, Being Targeted?

While a certain pair of parents were anxiously driving around outside searching for their missing daughter, they had no idea that the cabbage they raised so carefully had already invited the wolf into the house and even brought the pig that was going to root her up straight home.

“They’re really way too shippable…”

Watching her older sister cling to Yuki’s clothes like an overly attached cat, Eiya clasped her hands in front of her chest, little stars sparkling in her eyes.

After sighing in admiration, Eiya turned her head to look to the side. A certain someone was sitting next to her, grabbing a few strands of her hair and messing around with them, seemingly trying to tie a knot.

“So… why are you here?”

‘Brother Yuki coming over as her sister’s boyfriend was perfectly normal. But Brother Jiaqi, what’s your deal? Why are you here? Don’t you have class tomorrow?’

“Ah… because it’s a rare chance? Came over to mess with you?”

Jiaqi thought about it for a bit. To be honest, he didn’t really know himself why he was here right now.

“Rare my ass… you’ve been coming over to stir up trouble every chance you get lately. You were just here last weekend.”

Puffing out her cheeks and muttering quietly, even though the guy next to her kept messing with her hair, Eiya didn’t really resist.

By the way, because a certain girl had put on that black and blue dress, Jiaqi had also egged on his childhood friend, wanting to see how the two of them would look wearing this matching pair of dresses together.

Since it wasn’t really an unreasonable request, and Eiya herself did have similar thoughts, she obediently changed into the outfit as well. As a result, the room now had two extremely cute girl lolitas, one in blue black and one in white gold.

What guy doesn’t like cute girls? Seeing the sisters in such perfectly matched outfits, the two boys couldn’t help pulling out their phones, having the sisters squeeze together and strike several poses, snapping photos to keep as mementos.

“So I did listen to you and put this on. Can you rein it in and stop playing with my hair already?”

Reaching out to lightly smack Jiaqi’s mischievous arm, Eiya puffed out her cheeks. With that girlish reaction, anyone who didn’t know better would think she was acting cute toward her boyfriend.

“Look at how much Brother Yuki dotes on my sister. Can’t you learn from him a little?”

“Huh?”

Hearing his childhood friend’s complaint, Jiaqi froze. He opened his mouth, and only after a long while did he squeeze out an expression that was hard to describe and start complaining.

“Yuki is Lu Brat’s boyfriend. The way you’re saying that makes it sound like I’m your boyfriend or something. I don’t have that kind of intention, alright?”

“In your dreams. Who’d want a boyfriend like you? If I’m going to look for one, I’d want someone like Brother Yuki, someone who dotes on his girlfriend. Look at you, all you do every day is bully girls. Only a masochist would fall for an idiot like you.”

Eiya waved her arms and bared her teeth, then suddenly seemed to think of something. She placed one hand under her chin, quieted down, and calmly said a line that shocked everyone present.

“Though that said, someone did confess to me a while ago…”

The moment those words came out, Jiaqi froze on the spot. The little Demon Lord and Yuki also stopped being affectionate, and all three of them turned their heads in unison, staring at the white haired girl in disbelief.

“What’s with those looks? I know my personality sucks, but I’m not that hopeless, right?”

Being stared at made Eiya a bit uncomfortable. She wasn’t particularly narcissistic, but given her base traits, she didn’t think being confessed to was anything strange.

Everyone present understood that. Eiya was undoubtedly in the category of a beautiful girl… or rather, a beautiful girl. Honestly, the strangest thing was that only now had someone confessed to her.

“No, I mean, Little Eiya, you’re only in middle school, right? Starting relationships in middle school already?”

Yuki opened his mouth. No matter what, the girl in front of him was his future sister in law, so it was necessary to remind her a bit.

“No. I didn’t accept. We’re not dating. Besides, didn’t you already like my sister back when you were in middle school too?”

‘Hm? How does she know that?’

Yuki lowered his head to look at the treasure in his arms. Noticing his movement, the silver-haired girl hurriedly shook her head, denying it and indicating she hadn’t sold him out.

“Forget that. Who’s that brat? Let me tear him apart first.”

The most worked up person there was actually Jiaqi, who bullied Eiya on a daily basis. He was cracking his knuckles now, and no one doubted that the next second he’d rush out to find the punk who dared set his sights on Eiya and teach him a lesson.

“Calm down. I already said I didn’t accept. It’s a boy from the class next door. Honestly, I’m not that familiar with him.”

Eiya reached out and pressed down the fist beside her.

“And why are you so nervous anyway? It’s not like you like me.”

“But you two are childhood sweethearts. He feels like someone’s chewing on the grass right by his nest.”

The Demon Lord shrugged. As the one who theoretically should’ve been the most nervous, she was instead completely calm.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t worried about her sister being tricked away by some bad boy. Just like how Jiaqi’s parents didn’t believe their son could get a girlfriend, the little Demon Lord also didn’t believe many boys could tolerate her sister’s temper.

Although she looked like a well behaved girl on the outside, Eiya was actually extremely willful. If it weren’t for part of her soul constantly syncing with Eiru and influencing her, in such a pampered home environment, she would’ve been spoiled rotten long ago.

To put it simply and bluntly, it was this. You want to chase my sister? Don’t be stupid. Actively looking for suffering isn’t a good habit.

“I don’t know why, but your reaction is kind of pissing me off, sis.”

Muttering a couple of lines, Eiya continued talking about what happened earlier.

Ever since she stopped using hair dye to hide her real hair color, Eiya’s turn back rate at school had skyrocketed. And the boost in looks brought by her silver white long hair really made the boys at her school’s hearts flutter.

“And during that time, the most common topic the boys in my class talked about was me. A few girls who hang out with the boys secretly told me.”

Of course, along with popularity, silver white long hair also brought all kinds of trouble. Yuki had once been troubled by his silver hair, and now Eiya was encountering the same problem.

Even with her parents’ guarantee, the teachers and the dean still privately sought Eiya out, hoping she would dye her hair back to black to avoid bringing unnecessary negative influence to other students.

But that really put the girl in a difficult spot. If hair dye could solve her hair color problem, why would she have needed to ask her sister to make that troublesome wig in the first place?

But aside from the few people who knew the truth, no one would believe her even if she said it. Being called in every few days for ideological talks, and not daring to tell her family about it, Eiya had indeed accumulated a considerable amount of stress lately.
