Demon King – Chapter 698 – The Hero Is Not a Lucky One

Leaving aside the nonhuman parts and the difference in hair length, how do you tell apart a pair of loli sisters who look extremely similar?

When you stretch out your palm and hold it flat in front of the two of them, the younger sister, Eiya, will very instinctively place her chin on it like a cat… even though she herself might not realize what she is doing.

As for her dear older sister, although there is about a thirty percent chance she will react the same way, more often than not she will instead do what she is doing now when facing Yuki…

“Ahm~”

Faced with Yuki’s teasing, the Demon Lord bit down on his hand in one go. Luckily she knew her limits and did not use her teeth. Otherwise, those cute little tiger teeth would still hurt for a while if they actually bit down.

“Alright, good girl.”

Yuki reached out with his other hand and rubbed his little girlfriend’s head.

“It’s the long break. Want to go to the school store?”

“Okay… uh? Actually, you go instead. Just help me bring something back to eat.”

Just as she was about to agree, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly noticed a certain eager gaze outside the classroom and immediately changed her mind.

Better to hide in the classroom. That guy is way too troublesome. Being chuunibyou is not a big deal, it is even kind of fun. But don’t run over saying you want to pursue me, okay? There is no way I would ever agree.

Yuki felt a little strange that this girl had been holed up in the classroom all day, but he did not ask further. Outside the door, Xixia saw that the loli had no intention of leaving the classroom and very tactfully disappeared from sight.

“Judging by how you look so troubled, are you worrying about relationship stuff?”

After observing the situation for a while, Qianchen suddenly leaned over onto Eiru’s desk and asked teasingly.

“Let me guess. Someone is bothering you, but you do not want to add trouble to Li Yuki, so you are not saying anything, right?”

“Huh? How could you tell?”

Eiru thought about it and felt this was not something you could tell just by reading expressions. Could this person read minds or something?

“Just guessing. Mainly because you usually go hang out outside with Li Yuki, but today you are just holed up in the classroom… so I was guessing you were hiding from someone.”

“Emmmmm, I am indeed hiding from someone. It is pretty troublesome.”

The Demon Lord scratched her head. Even though she had been guessed correctly, she did not know how to explain it.

Because she had gone through a chuunibyou phase herself before, Her Majesty the Demon Lord understood very well that if you wanted to communicate with this kind of chuunibyou, you had to be on the same channel. But right now she did not know how to match channels in this regard, so she could only avoid that chuunibyou hero.

And there was another reason that was not very convenient for Eiru to explain. For some reason, she always felt that if she clearly explained things to the other party, it would trigger some irreversible consequences.

“Speaking of it, the heroes from that world were also a bunch of miserable people…”

“What are you talking about?”

Because her voice was very quiet, Qianchen did not catch what the loli in front of her had muttered.

“Nothing, just talking to myself.”

Brushing it off, and based on the information left behind by the various senior Demon Lords in her head, the Demon Lord really did feel some sympathy for those heroes.

Because demons were naturally much stronger than other races, not to mention the strongest among them, the Demon Lord… an existence like that was, under normal circumstances, simply not something other races could deal with.

But to counterbalance that, those chosen as heroes were born with strength, constitution, and intelligence far beyond other individuals. Although they were called children chosen by heaven, everything came at a price.

In that world, almost all heroes were extremely short-lived. After simple research, it was discovered that their so-called exceptional power and intelligence were all achieved by overdrawing their future.

This overdraft was innate, something they could not control even themselves. And only heroes who successfully defeated the Demon Lord could end this overdraft process, return to being ordinary, and escape from their fate.

At least, Eiru felt this kind of setup was completely ridiculous. Many heroes embarked on the path of defeating the Demon Lord not because the Demon Lord committed evil acts… but because they wanted to live, to escape from their fate.

“Even if he is chuunibyou, as long as he is not a hero from that world, it is fine…”

Resting her chin in her hands, the Demon Lord sighed. When she first saw Xixia calling himself a hero, she had actually been a bit nervous.

Because if a hero from that world really had chased over, it would truly become a battle for survival. She was just a Demon Lord who wanted to slack off. She did not like fighting and killing every day.

But after discovering that the other party was just a pure chuunibyou, she relaxed. Although there was a feeling of having worried for nothing and been messed with, the end result was good, so it was fine.

“I’m back~”

Yuki returned from the school store and plopped down beside Eiru, reaching out to pat the girl next to him and pointing at the bag in his hand.

“That fast? Did you cheat? Normally we always dawdle until the class bell rings.”

“That’s because I’m with you. When I go alone, what is there to dawdle about? Come take a look at what I brought. I brought what you like the most…”

He beckoned the loli beside him to lean her head over. After she leaned in, Yuki suddenly put on a mischievous grin and raised his free hand.

“Your favorite. A big slap.”

As soon as the words fell, before the hand could even move, the silver-haired loli beside him vanished on the spot. Yuki looked up and saw that she had already retreated to lean against the wall, her face full of an expression that said not a chance.

“Hey, you do not need to be that scared, right? There is no way I would actually hit you.”

Yuki felt a bit speechless. If she were still that boy from before, at most he would just lightly pat her or something. They had joked around like this plenty of times before. But now in this loli form, he would feel bad even before it hurt. How could he bear to hit her?

“Who is scared. But do not even think about taking advantage of me.”

Leaning against the wall and watching Yuki warily, Her Majesty the Demon Lord declared that she was no longer the same as before. With her invincible reflexes and speed, this kind of trick was useless on her.

“Alright, come over and eat. Stop messing around.”

“You are not going to hit me?”

“When have I ever hit you?”

Yuki laughed helplessly.

“And Su Qianchen, don’t look at me like that. There is no way I would hit her.”

“Fine, you will not hit me. Then I will hit you.”

With that, the Demon Lord pounced. Her little fists immediately started landing on Yuki. If this were back when she was still a boy, the two of them might have gone along with it and started roughhousing together. But now…

A loli using her little pink fists to hit a one-point-eight-meter-tall boy. There was no way the other side would have the heart to hit back. He could only endure it with a bitter smile and indulgence.

Even if the person herself might not have meant it that way, in the eyes of others, rather than roughhousing, it looked more like a little loli acting cute and coquettish.
