Demon King – Chapter 691 – Merry Christmas Eve!

“I already have the sharpest spear and the toughest shield in this world. Today, I will charge into battle and defeat that Demon Lord who bewitched people’s hearts!”

The self-proclaimed “Hero” who made a habit of picking on a certain girl had no idea where he dug up a set of magical equipment during the break between classes. Before setting off upstairs to find his target, Xixia was facing his good brother and delivering a full-on pre-battle declaration.

Listening to his buddy’s baffling speech, Wei looked at the scene in front of him. A baguette in the right hand, a slab of dark rye bread in the left.

‘Brother, if you don’t think this is embarrassing, I do.’

“Good brother! Right now I am a brave knight! I’m going in! Silently bless me from behind!”

After throwing out that line, Xixia, holding two pieces of bread and transforming into the Bread Knight, struck a knight’s charging pose. Ignoring Wei’s attempts to stop him, he boldly rushed toward the stairwell.

Something this embarrassing only needs one person. Since he couldn’t stop him anyway, Wei didn’t have the guts to follow this guy upstairs and die socially together. So what exactly was wrong with him? Did he really like that silver-haired senior that much?

When thinking didn’t get him anywhere, he gave up on thinking. Wei returned to the classroom and waited for the class bell to ring. During that time, he heard quite a few people discussing how there had just been some genius upstairs holding bread and cosplaying a medieval knight. Wei covered his face in embarrassment just listening to it.

The class bell rang, the teacher entered and announced the start of class, but that brave knight still hadn’t returned. Wei glanced at the empty seat beside him and couldn’t help feeling a bit worried about his chuunibyou-ridden friend.

Halfway through the lesson, the guy who had gone off to subjugate the Demon Lord finally came back. After reporting in and getting permission from the teacher, he returned to his seat. Wei let out a sigh of relief, but also noticed the gloomy look on his face.

“What’s wrong, my Xia bro? Where did your sharpest spear and toughest shield go?”

“I couldn’t brake in time on the stairs and rammed straight into the second-year grade director. My face… my equipment was said to be too dangerous, so it got confiscated.”

“Pfft…”

“Are you laughing at me?”

Seeing the other guy immediately flop onto the desk to hide his expression, Xixia felt a surge of annoyance. Damn it, the expedition failed before it even began, the weapons got taken, and now my good brother is laughing at me?

“No no, my bread knight… pfft hahahahaha, sorry, I really can’t hold it in, hahahaha…”

And then Wei, because his laughter was way too unrestrained, got kicked to the back of the classroom to stand as punishment.

“Stupid Yuki, stupid Yuki, today is Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve!”

Little fists thumping against Yuki’s chest, the Demon Lord’s face was filled with excitement.

“Hm? And?”

The couple had no idea that someone had just tried to launch a sneak attack on them. Seeing how she looked, Yuki couldn’t help feeling a bit expectant, wondering if she had prepared some kind of surprise.

“So I’m giving you an apple! An apple a day keeps the doctor away from me!”

Yuki stared blankly at the big red apple placed in his hand. Ah… this? That’s it?

“Just kidding. Do you want to come play at my place today? Ever since we moved, there hasn’t really been a chance. Today’s a good opportunity!”

For Yuki, this proposal was irresistibly tempting. He had no defense against it at all. Now that Eiru was picked up and dropped off for school every day and watched pretty closely at home, Yuki had never had the chance to go see her new place.

But this morning, both Ei Yuan and Liu Wan had already taken off because of a company business trip. Although Lin Miao had been asked to handle picking up the two sisters, Lin Miao was much easier to talk to. As long as Her Majesty the Demon Lord said the word, she could easily not need him to pick her up and take her home.

Of course, with Eiya the younger sister around, the Demon Lord didn’t expect any kind of private world for just the two of them. Thinking the same thing, the two decided it would be more lively and called all the good brothers from Dorm 1503 over.

After enduring the long-awaited day until school finally let out in the afternoon, Her Majesty the Demon Lord led the group of brothers, and the whole bunch headed toward the nearby subway station in a grand procession.

Along the way, they each bought a cup of milk tea. When they went through subway security, an interesting little incident happened.

“What’s that?”

The security officer pointed at the milk tea in Ziyu’s hand. Out of the five of them, he drank the slowest, and up to now he had barely touched it.

“Milk tea.”

Ziyu answered with a hint of pride, as if he were saying, I have milk tea and you don’t, jealous or not, jealous or not?

He was usually this obnoxious anyway, so everyone was used to it. The security officer had been on the job for many years and had seen all kinds of people, so naturally he didn’t take such a small thing to heart. He just pointed at the milk tea in Ziyu’s hand and said one sentence.

“Take a sip.”

“Nope.”

Looking at this genius with a mix of shock and disbelief, Eiru’s group all popped a question mark over their heads, and at the same time, with perfect synchronization, took a step to the side, distancing themselves from this idiot.

Who is this? Don’t know him, don’t know him. We don’t know someone this stupid.

“Holy shit, seeing it once beats hearing about it a hundred times. It really is a man’s dream house!”

The moment they entered the secret gaming base of the Eiru sisters, Ziyu began his embarrassing performance. Though to be fair, the others were thinking pretty much the same thing.

Pulling Yuki over and sitting down on the sofa with a grin, the more everyone praised the place, the more smug Eiru felt, until she was reminded by Eiya beside her.

“This was designed and set up by Brother Mia. What are you being proud about?”

“Damn it, don’t ruin the mood! Stupid Qi, quick, Little Ya is here, come bully her!”

“I’m your own sister! Sis, you’re selling me out?!”

Faced with her sister’s betrayal, Eiya’s face was full of grief. But as Jiaqi appeared behind her, she didn’t really have any room left for grief.

“Stupid Yuki, Stupid Yuki.”

Sitting sideways on Yuki’s lap and wrapping her arms around his neck, the Demon Lord whispered into his ear in a voice full of temptation.

“Stay the night with me today, okay?”

Normally, after something that ambiguous was said, the group of brothers and trash friends nearby should have started making weird noises and cheering. But the main instigators, a certain pair of dumb brothers, were busy fighting over the controller and happily gaming, as if they hadn’t heard what Eiru said at all.

Of course they heard it. They were just used to it by now. Without realizing it, in their subconscious minds, they had already come to see this as something completely normal and ordinary. You two sleep together every day anyway. Small scene. Seen it plenty of times.

“If Brother Miao weren’t away from home, let’s see if you’d dare be this wild…”

Helplessly complaining about her sister’s tendency to give herself away, the only one in the room who actually reacted was Eiya. But sitting on Jiaqi’s lap herself, she wasn’t exactly safe either. She had to stay on guard at all times against attacks from behind.

‘But… why was Brother Jiaqi completely motionless today? Normally, shouldn’t he have already started pinching my cheeks and messing around?’

Sneaking a glance back at the person behind her, seeing how well-behaved and restrained he was, Eiya honestly felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

‘Could it be that Brother Jiaqi… finds me annoying now, and hates me?’

Christmas eve, but they still have class at school? Not holiday? What kind of tyrant school is that….
