Demon King – Chapter 66 – Can’t Think of a Title…

Translator Note

Author can’t think of a title again… Anyways thanks Sapidayo for the chapter!

The girl seemed to be in a deep sleep, but every time Yuki was about to leave, she would sense it and quickly hold on tighter. With no other choice, Yuki could only continue staying in the room.

He couldn’t just crouch next to the bed either. Thinking that he’d leave after a while anyway, and besides, with the blanket between them it couldn’t be counted as him taking advantage of her… Yuki climbed onto the bed and laid down beside the girl. The girl directly buried her face in his chest and held him tightly with her whole body.

Lying on his side on the bed, looking at the girl’s sleeping face, Yuki couldn’t help but reach out to her. He embraced her through the blanket, his palm rhythmically patting the girl’s back, like coaxing a child to sleep.

Although the girl’s body temperature was somewhat low, Yuki felt quite comfortable holding her. As time passed and drowsiness set in, Yuki felt his eyelids growing heavy…

Might as well sleep for a while… Thinking this, Yuki slowly closed his eyes. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he felt something touch his leg.

No way? The sensation on his leg made him quickly understand what happened. The girl’s feet, wrapped in stockings, were now wrapped around one of his legs. She was now like a koala, her entire body clinging to the person beside her.

“Are you using me as a body pillow?” Yuki felt somewhat helpless. He was, after all, a normal adolescent boy, and moreover, she was the girl he liked. The girl’s maneuver inevitably made his mind wander.

Thinking that it wasn’t sustainable, Yuki planned to pull his leg out. But as soon as he moved, the girl acted as if afraid he was going to run away—not only did she cling to him even harder, but her legs also restlessly rubbed against him from time to time.

This was too much—who could handle this? There was absolutely no way to sleep… What should have been a dreamlike scene now felt like torture, leaving Yuki wanting to cry but having no tears to shed. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night…

One night passed—

“Mmm…” It wasn’t until midday that the girl on the bed finally showed signs of movement.

The little demon lord slowly opened her eyes, and after releasing what was in her arms, she slowly sat up.

Her chest felt stuffy and somewhat painful, and her whole body felt weak. Eiru rubbed her eyes and surveyed her surroundings.

This wasn’t where she lived, but it looked quite familiar… Looking beside herself, she found a big cat lying next to her.

“So it was you that I was holding last night…” Reaching out to pet Gulu’s head, the cat laid there obediently with squinted eyes.

“You’re awake?” Hearing the movement inside, Yuki walked in from outside.

Last night, in the middle of the night, unable to bear it any longer, Yuki had grabbed Gulu to serve as a substitute. So in reality, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had indeed spent the entire night holding Gulu.

So it really is stupid Yuki’s house… Eiru sat cross-legged on the bed, staring blankly at Yuki standing in the doorway.

“Feeling better? I’ve prepared some toiletries for you—go brush your teeth and wash your face. You collapsed so suddenly yesterday that I could only bring you back here. Sorry for the intrusion.” Yuki scratched his head, explaining to the girl on the bed.

“Sure enough, it’s dead…” Taking her phone out of her pocket and pressing the power button several times with no response, the little demon lord turned to ask Yuki. “It’s fine, but don’t you have class?”

“How could I leave with you like this? I took a day off from school. As for you, since I didn’t know your name I couldn’t help you request leave. You should quickly contact the school to make up for it…”

So it’s the same model phone as Eiru’s… and even the phone case is the same. Looking at the phone in the girl’s hand, Yuki smiled, marveling at how many coincidences there were in the world, not thinking much of it.

“Thanks, could you charge it for me?” After handing the phone to him, the little demon lord slowly got up from the bed. After he took the phone, she dragged her wings and tail behind her as she slowly walked toward the bathroom…

“Oh right, the bathroom is…” Taking the girl’s phone and plugging it in to charge, Yuki turned around to tell her where the bathroom was, only to find she had already almost reached the bathroom door.

“What is it?” Being called by him, the little demon lord turned around, tilting her head to look at Yuki.

“No, nothing. The blue toothbrush in the blue cup is for you…”

Was it an illusion? He felt like she seemed very familiar with his house. This should be her first time here, right… Then Yuki patted his head, shaking the strange thoughts out of his mind.

Just as he came back to his senses, Yuki suddenly heard the girl coughing violently in the bathroom. And from the sound of it, it didn’t seem like it was just a simple cough..

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Feeling something was off, Yuki rushed in anxiously, but the scene before him left him stunned.

The girl was supporting herself with both hands on the sink, coughing hard. And on the sink, there was shocking bright red everywhere.

“Hey, are you okay? I’ll call a doctor right away!” The scene before him made it impossible for him to stay calm—he was about to rush to the living room to make a phone call. He couldn’t worry about her not being human now—his priority was saving her life!

“Don’t! Don’t!” The girl covered her mouth with one hand while waving the other to stop Yuki’s action.

“It’s just something small, don’t get so worked up, stay calm…” Although the girl still had her playful demeanor, the bright red liquid seeping through her fingers added a horrifying element to the scene.

Though she said this, in reality, when Her Majesty the Demon Lord first encountered this, she also thought she was going to die. She was so scared at the time that she sat directly on the ground and started crying. It was only later, through her intuition and subsequent developments, that she understood why.

“This happens when I wake up from forced hibernation—it’s quite troublesome to explain… I’ll explain it to you later. Anyway, it just looks scary but it’ll be normal soon.” Waving her hand, Eiru turned on the faucet and began washing away the blood…

Forced hibernation? This inexplicable term left Yuki slowly forming question marks in his mind. But considering the girl’s condition last night, it probably referred to her suddenly falling asleep, right?

“Be sure to tell me if there are any problems. In the meanwhile I’ll go make you something to eat…” Looking half in disbelief at the girl who was brushing her teeth while cleaning her blood from the sink. Seeing that she seemed better now, Yuki temporarily put his mind at ease and turned toward the kitchen.
