Demon King – Chapter 685 – Yuki Is Worrying Himself Sick

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another two or three weeks had gone by. In the final stretch before the end of the semester, everyone was nervously preparing for the final exams.

Except for one particular loli. She truly had nothing to fear. Under Seventh High’s class placement rules, even Yuki did not dare slack off. In an environment like this, the only one who could continue openly slacking was her, and no one else.

Although after choosing between arts and sciences there would no longer be any large-scale reshuffling of classes, the Honor Class was a special case. Every midterm and final exam each semester, students whose grades dropped significantly might be brushed out, while those with major improvements had a chance to enter the Honor Class.

No matter the reason, any student who made it into the Honor Class would not want to be brushed out. On top of that, students from other classes were fairly hostile toward this group. If you really did get kicked down, you would not have an easy time.

However, Lao Ban, their homeroom teacher, was extremely disgusted by this kind of elimination system and always did his best to protect the students in his class from being transferred out.

So under his protection, the pressure on their Class Two was not nearly as insane as that of Class One next door, which was also an Honor Class. At the very least, there was plenty of room to maneuver.

Resting her chin on her hands and looking at everyone in the classroom nervously reviewing, the little Demon Lord yawned, feeling somewhat bored.

Sleeping to pass the time was not an option either. She was not sleepy at all. She could not disturb the classmates around her, including Yuki. The teacher was also on the podium, so she could not be that disrespectful and pull out her phone to play. Fine, the real reason was that her phone was out of battery anyway.

“Why didn’t I check whether the charging plug was connected last night… sigh…”

Puffing out her cheeks, Her Majesty the Demon Lord quietly complained about her own carelessness, her gaze occasionally drifting toward Yuki beside her, who was earnestly reviewing.

That said, today was not entirely without good news. She had heard that the new house was finally finished, and today her cousin would take the two sisters over to have a look. Thinking about this, the anticipation in her heart lifted her mood a little.

Eiru boredly looked around. As expected of the Honor Class, not a single person was slacking off. In contrast, she herself stood out like a crane among chickens in this environment.

Although it was a self-study period, during class time there would not be anyone wandering around the hallway outside. Aside from teachers and administrators occasionally patrolling, the only others were students helping carry things back and forth between classrooms and the teachers’ office.

Lying on her desk and staring boredly at the hallway outside, while the little Demon Lord was spacing out, a male student holding a stack of test papers walked past the door again. As he passed, he even glanced in her direction.

Students helping teachers carry things around was a common occurrence. Casually glancing into other classrooms while passing by was not strange either. She did not know the person outside, and logically speaking, this was nothing more than an everyday trivial episode that should not have caught Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s attention at all.

But who was Eiru? She was the kind of person who, when bored out of her mind, could count the feathers on sparrows passing by outside the window. In a state where she had nothing to do, she observed small details extremely carefully.

Hadn’t he passed by a bit too many times? This seemed like the third time she had seen him. Normally, was there really that much stuff for one student to carry in a single class period?

And Eiru felt that the male student outside did not look like he was just casually glancing into the classroom either. His gaze seemed to be heading straight for her. Was she overthinking it?

Although she felt a bit suspicious, the little Demon Lord was not about to chase him out and question him with a “are you peeking at me.” That kind of move would be awkward, not to mention impolite. If it turned out to be a misunderstanding, it would be even worse.

“Impossible. Even Stupid Yuki took several years before liking me. How could I have that kind of charm?”

Eiru muttered to herself while lying on the desk. As she did, a hand suddenly landed on her small head and gently rubbed it.

“What are you talking about? I liked you very early on, alright? It wasn’t love at first sight or anything that exaggerated, but don’t underestimate your current charm.”

Yuki had just finished reviewing a portion of material and was about to take a break. He happened to hear the girl beside him muttering to herself and could not help reaching out to rub her head while refuting her.

Back then, he had been scared to death that this girl would be chased away by someone else. While getting along with her, he had been constantly hinting at his feelings toward her, yet this stupid loli simply could not read it.

“Have you forgotten how many people have been eyeing you before? If you don’t properly recognize your own charm, it’s really hard to gauge other people’s intentions. Protect yourself properly, okay?”

“Honestly speaking, aside from you… would anyone really have thoughts about their own bro?”

The little Demon Lord stuck her tongue out while lying on the desk. Everyone was calling each other brothers. Once you got familiar, how could there be that many messy thoughts?

“Jiaqi counts as one, right? And besides… people outside don’t know you used to be a boy. Even if they did, if they’re not familiar with you, why would they care about that? They’d still drool over you all the same, alright?”

When interacting with boys, she always treated herself as one of the guys. Although after confirming their relationship, Eiru had restrained herself quite a bit in this troublesome aspect out of a sense of responsibility toward being someone’s girlfriend, her inner thinking had not changed much.

“So what happened this time? Why are you suddenly complaining about your own charm again? Did some other guy mess with you?”

Ever since she had made her identity public, this particular loli, with her delicate looks and cute aura, had attracted no small amount of harassment from other boys. To be honest, it had given Yuki a massive headache.

Afraid of gossip or being reported, the two of them had not made their relationship public. Although in daily life Yuki guarded the girl beside him tightly, leaving no opportunity for others, most people still felt that the two were siblings. Mainly because of that silver hair.

So why did Eiru still have no awareness of her own charm under these circumstances? Because under Yuki’s murderous gaze, any boy who came up to talk to her did not dare show too much.

And she herself was a problem loli who liked to call everyone brother. She did not respond to straight balls. She could not even sense Yuki’s feelings. Were you really expecting her to notice other people’s intentions toward her?

As for love letters, these pseudo straight balls could indeed attract the little Demon Lord’s attention. Unfortunately for them, every single one had been intercepted by a certain wife-protecting individual.

So during this period of time, although quite a number of love letters had been sent to Her Majesty the Demon Lord, under Yuki’s protection, she had not seen a single one. She had not even seen a scrap of paper.

Yuki himself had also received quite a few love letters. Now add in his little girlfriend’s share. The double, overwhelming flood of these things had once made this child-protecting male-mom seriously consider dumping the whole pile directly onto Lao Ban’s desk.

Every single day, Classmate Yuki was worrying himself sick over his adorable little girlfriend.
