Demon King – Chapter 663 – Moving House?

“I already knew about this kind of thing…”

Looking at her close friend who rushed over after school to tell her everything that happened today, Yunyue smiled helplessly.

That said, Eiru no longer hiding things and openly announcing her identity as a girl was still pretty surprising to her. Now that it was public, she no longer needed to help keep things hidden for her. You could say a burden had finally been lifted off her shoulders.

“Huh? But didn’t you like her? Don’t tell me, Yueyue, you like girls?”

“I didn’t know she was a girl when I liked her…”

Every time this topic came up, Yunyue’s mood became a little complicated.

Secretly liking her was one thing. And although Eiru didn’t know it at the time, she could also be said to have protected her. For a very long time, she had been someone Yunyue relied on, an existence that let her avoid being bullied.

And now, that reliable boy had turned out to be a soft and cute little loli. Compared to herself, Eiru actually needed more care and guidance from others. When the person you relied on suddenly turns into someone more like a little sister, how could anyone’s feelings not turn complicated?

“By the way, is she in the classroom now? If it’s convenient, I kind of want to go see her… I haven’t seen her in a long time.”

Ever since that incident with Eiru, Yunyue had been afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep the secret, so she didn’t dare go visit her. After so long without seeing her, honestly, she missed her quite a bit.

“She should be in the classroom playing around with Li Yuki, right? I really didn’t expect those two to be a couple now…”

Just like those stories in novels or manga, where childhood friends who used to roll around together in the mud grow up and suddenly realize one of them is a girl. Having something like that happen right around them left the Su sisters pretty shocked.

“They’ve actually been together for quite a while…”

“So you knew everything, Yueyue, and still didn’t tell us, huh?!”

As she spoke, Su Qianchen suddenly realized this and grabbed Yunyue’s cheeks with both hands, venting her dissatisfaction.

“Mmgh, be gentler… I promised to keep it secret.”

“Hmph…”

After letting go, Su Qianchen crossed her arms and put on an angry look. But the other two knew she was just pretending. Keeping secrets was something everyone could understand, after all.

Meanwhile, back in the classroom, the little Demon Lord was wrapped up in Yuki’s jacket, as usual shrinking into his arms and enjoying the service of a large human heating pad.

Everyone else had already slipped away, leaving only the two of them alone in the classroom. Since Her Majesty the Demon Lord wasn’t staying at school now, this was the only way they could squeeze out time to cling to each other.

“Are you heading home in a bit?”

“Mhm, someone’s coming to pick me up.”

rubbed her small head against Yuki’s chin.

“By the way, aren’t you going to eat? You still have evening self-study, right? If you wait any longer, you won’t have time to go to the cafeteria.”

“It’s fine. Missing one meal isn’t a big deal. How could that be more important than staying with you?”

“No way! You have to eat!”

Hearing that, the Demon Lord immediately refused, breaking free from Yuki’s arms in one move.

“Look at how skinny you are… well, maybe not that skinny… but anyway, you can’t go hungry. People are iron, food is steel. Eating comes first, got it?”

Looking at the silver-haired loli standing in front of him, seriously lecturing him, Yuki felt extremely speechless. Anyone else saying this would be fine, but being told this by you, a dumb loli who doesn’t eat or rest properly and doesn’t take care of herself, was really not something he wanted.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go eat. Do you want a hug then?”

“Yes~ heehee~”

Diving back into Yuki’s arms, the Demon Lord hugged him like a cat, rubbing against him nonstop.

“Oh right, who’s coming to pick you up later?”

“Someone who doesn’t understand his own kid at all. He’ll drive over to get me.”

Eiru tilted her head.

“You should go eat first, yeah? I feel like he’ll be here soon. It’d be pretty troublesome if he saw us like this.”

“Okay.”

Yuki nodded, letting go of his little girlfriend and getting ready to head to the cafeteria. Before leaving, he turned back and made a phone-call gesture as he reminded her.

“If anything happens, call or message me. Even if nothing happens and you’re just bored, that’s fine too. I can always keep you company.”

“Mhm~ I’ll harass you, heehee~”

After cheerfully saying goodbye to Yuki, Her Majesty the Demon Lord wandered around the teaching building corridor out of boredom, waiting for her old man to show up.

It got dark very early. The corridor was pitch-black, but for Eiru, who had excellent night vision, this was nothing. Even though she was a bit timid and afraid of the dark, having grown up in her hometown village, this kind of feeling of moving around in the dark actually made her feel excited and stimulated.

While strolling through the dark corridor, the little Demon Lord suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the stairwell. Sneaking over to take a look, she saw that it was her old man, standing at the corner of the stairs, on the phone.

“Don’t tell me this stuff. Didn’t we just deal with it last time? What are your people even doing over there? Everything has to be handled by me personally, is that it?”

“I have more important things right now. I won’t be free until two months later… at the very least, it’ll be a month from now. That’s it, I still have to pick up my daughter.”

“What do you mean picking up my daughter is a small thing? There’s nothing more important than this right now, understand? I’m not letting anyone else pick her up, and I’m not letting her live alone outside either. At the very least, it’ll take one or two months to get things settled properly… alright, that’s it. Bye.”

Ei Yuan hung up the phone, almost worked up into anger by the person on the other end. But when he turned around, he found a silver-haired little cutie standing behind him, tilting her head and looking at him with those deep blue eyes sparkling like little stars, full of curiosity and confusion.

“Ah, Little Lu? When did you come over here… you could’ve just waited for Dad in the classroom.”

Seeing his daughter, Ei Yuan immediately put on a gentle smile and squatted down.

“Sorry I’m late… I’ll come earlier next time. You’ve been waiting a while, haven’t you?”

“I saw you on the phone, so I didn’t interrupt. I didn’t wait that long.”

The Demon Lord still tilted her head as she looked at the man in front of her. To be honest, she’d much rather Ei Yuan come even later.

‘The later you come, the more time I get to be clingy with Stupid Yuki. If you see us, it’ll just be a bunch of trouble again. I really don’t want to cause trouble for Stupid Yuki… he already worries enough about me.’

“So what was that about settling things for one or two months?”

Thinking back to what she heard on the phone, the Demon Lord’s instincts told her this probably had something to do with her.

“Oh, that. It’s just that your school is really far from home right now… and we’re not comfortable with you living outside alone, so we’ve been considering moving.”

They weren’t comfortable letting Eiru live outside by herself in her current state. If she commuted, picking her up every day wouldn’t be too troublesome. The problem was that Seventh High was just too far from their current home. They couldn’t possibly wake the kid up at four or five in the morning every day.

So after discussing it, the couple decided to look for a place with a better location. And since the guest room wasn’t suitable for Eiru to live in anymore, they would also need to set up a new, big room for their daughter while they were at it.
