Demon King – Chapter 69 – How to Become a Smooth Talker

“Hmm hmm hmm~” Humming a little tune, Eiru bounced along in front, looking like she was in a good mood.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord was also someone who knew shame—after having her buddy carry her downstairs, she jumped down from him herself. After all, she didn’t want her buddy to have strange rumors spread about him because of her.

Yuki followed closely behind her, acting casual. But in reality, his attention was entirely focused on the loli in front of him, afraid that if he wasn’t careful, she would disappear.

Go home, take a bath, play games, sleep… the little demon lord had already arranged her day of slacking off clearly in her head. While humming, she suddenly thought of a very important problem.

At home… did she still have women’s clothes there? A certain loli belatedly realized that she had brought all her clothes to the school dormitory.

“I’m finished, finished, finished…” Eiru suddenly hugged her head and crouched down, her face full of despair. With everyone in the dormitory, there was absolutely no way she could go back there and change clothes.

“What’s wrong?” One second she looked so happy, and now the girl suddenly crouched down muttering something—Yuki was confused.

“I… I… I don’t have any extra clothes.”

“Huh?” Hearing this inexplicable statement, Yuki somewhat suspected this child had slept too long and made herself stupid.

“Don’t you live at Eiru’s place? Do you not have any clothes there?” Yuki thought about it and asked the only possibility he could think of.

“No… There are no clothes for me there right now.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s voice was pitifully small.

Yuki scratched his head. Her tone was usually like that whenever she felt guilty, wronged, or uncomfortable.

“What about your own home? I’m asking about your own house.”

“I can’t go back there…” Her voice carried a trace of loneliness. Eiru crouched on the ground and lowered her head, as if talking about her home was a sore spot.

“Sigh… forget it, come with me.” Yuki grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled her toward him.

“Eh eh eh? Where are we going?!” Even though it was sudden, she trusted him, so the little demon lord let him pull her away…

“Mmph…” Looking at the shop in front of her, Her Majesty the Demon Lord puffed out her cheeks.

The two stood in front of a women’s clothing store. Seeing the girl’s expression, Yuki was confused about what he had done wrong.

“Although I really want to call you an idiot, you are a guy after all, so I can’t blame you for not knowing…” The little demon lord roughly guessed his thoughts—he probably wanted to buy her a set of clothes, right?

Buying clothes and such, the little demon lord naturally had no objections. But the shop Yuki chose was indeed a bit…

“This is a store specializing in lolita! What are you trying to do?!” Eiru pounded the fool beside her with her fists. Buying clothes for fun was ok, but lolita dresses—where else could she ever wear them!?

“Lolita? Aren’t these just pretty dresses?” This touched on someone’s knowledge blind spot. Scratching his head, Yuki expressed his innocence.

“More or less. Most of them are quite gorgeous, though there are some simpler ones too…” Eiru indicated she had a certain level of understanding, since she had too wanted to get a few after seeing how pretty the designs were.

But after seeing the prices, Her Majesty the Demon Lord chickened out. One of the three money-pit hobbies ¹ The three ‘money pit hobbies’ are Lolita fashion, BJD dolls, and Hanfu lived up to its reputation—nope, can’t afford it, goodbye!

“Let’s change stores. I can’t afford it. Though Lolita dresses are beautiful, most are very expensive—only rich women can afford to play with them…” Looking at the pretty little dresses in the window, the little demon lord felt somewhat sad. She took his arm, planning to pull Yuki away quickly.

Never mind other girls—even her own sister had a couple pretty lolita dresses, giving her a bitter taste in her mouth. Even so, what she couldn’t afford was what she couldn’t afford—there was nothing she could do.

Although there were budget-friendly Lolitas, due to her body type, the little demon lord could only wear custom-made dresses since standard sizes were very difficult for her to fit into.

Most budget Lolita dresses were sold in standard sizes, and very few of them offered to custom make them, so no matter how much a certain demon lord wanted one, she was basically out of luck.

“Who said that you’re paying? I’ll buy one for you—only from this store.” Grabbing her hand in return, Yuki indicated that they were definitely going in today.

“It’s too expensive, I don’t want to spend too much of your money” According to Eiru’s nature, anything others treated her to had to be paid back. With her limited finances, she felt bad about letting others spend money.

“I know. You don’t want to owe me a favor, right?” By subbing in his best friend’s personality, Yuki quickly guessed why she hesitated.

“I’m not doing this for you—I’m doing it for me.”

“What? You want to crossdress? In Lolita?!” Her Majesty the Demon Lord was quite startled by this statement. While shocked, she looked at him with an expression that said “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”

“Where did your mind wander off to… You said that these dresses were pretty, right?” Crouching down and flicking the girl’s nose with his finger, Yuki said with a smile.

“Yeah… so?”

“So these dresses, when worn, must look very pleasing to the eye.” Yuki continued speaking seriously in a way that could cause misunderstandings.

“Is that your reason for wanting to crossdress?”

“I’m not crossdressing. I’ll buy the clothes, but you’ll wear them.”

“Huh? Then how is that ‘for yourself’?” His inconsistent statements left the little demon lord baffled. But his next sentence made her face turn bright red.

“Because this satisfies my wish—I want to see you wear it~”
