Demon King – Chapter 699 – The Demon Lord Forgot Something Important

Friday let out early. After saying goodbye to Yuki at the school gate, Eiru took Lin Miao’s car back to her place.

During this period, because a certain pair of miraculous parents were away, Lin Miao had been in charge of looking after the two sisters. But considering that the girls were not little kids anymore, Lin Miao would not stay overnight here either.

And Eiru’s experience living alone outside had indeed reassured Lin Miao about leaving her together with Eiya. So although it was called “looking after them”, aside from picking them up and dropping them off, Lin Miao was actually not around most of the time.

After dropping his cousin off, Lin Miao drove off in a hurry toward the train station. He still had work matters to deal with, and being able to squeeze out time to give the girl a ride already counted as pretty good.

“So busy… wait, is someone missing?”

Watching her big brother’s car disappear into the distance, the Demon Lord swayed the tail behind her. Only then did it dawn on her that today, there seemed to be one noisy presence missing by her side.

“Huh? Where’s Little Ya?”

Tilting her head, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly remembered that her sister should have gotten out of school earlier than her today. Normally, by the time she got in the car, that kid would already be patting the seat and calling for her to hurry up.

“Even if I got out earlier than her today, Brother Miao should still have taken me to pick her up, right? What’s going on…”

Forcing her brain, which really did not want to think, to start turning, the Demon Lord began recalling everything that had happened today. Then, all of a sudden, she remembered that she had forgotten something important…

“Sis, have you thought of a solution yet? Today’s the parent meeting… didn’t you say you had a way? You should at least give me a reply beforehand so I can explain it to the teacher.”

Before leaving in the morning, Eiya had tugged on her sister’s arm and spoken pitifully. Even now, she still had not gotten a definite answer. Sis, your procrastination really needs treatment.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. No problem at all… just tell your teacher that someone from your family will come as usual today.”

Making an OK gesture, the Demon Lord, who already had a plan in mind, gave her sister a confident answer, telling her to leave everything to her.

With that reassurance, Eiya went to school at ease. Out of trust in Eiru, she did not even tell Lin Miao about this, only saying that he did not need to pick her up today and that her sister would handle it.

“Damn it, I almost forgot. Today is her parent meeting.”

Rushing into the house, having finally remembered what she had forgotten, the Demon Lord hurriedly went inside to fiddle with the preparations she would need to use later…

——Perspective Switch——

Sitting in her seat, Eiya propped her chin up with both hands and looked around at her classmates. Most of everyone’s parents had already arrived. Some were chatting with their children, others were talking amongst themselves, all waiting for the parent meeting to begin and for the teacher to arrive.

“So slow… who exactly is sis planning to send over?”

Including herself, only a few classmates still did not have parents present. Eiya felt nervous and wronged. For kids her age, honestly speaking, in an environment like this, having someone accompany you really mattered.

‘Although her sister said she would arrange it, it would not be Brother Yuki or Brother Jiaqi coming over, right…’

Just imagining that scene made goosebumps rise all over Eiya’s body.

‘Please spare me, that would be mortifying. Sis, don’t arrange things randomly. Even if nothing else, at least come over in your boy form.’

Eiya felt a wave of cowardice. If it really were some random arrangement, she would be embarrassed enough to want to dig a hole and crawl into it.

“Eiya, has your family not arrived yet?”

The last few classmates’ parents trickled in as well. Soon after, the homeroom teacher entered the classroom. After scanning the room, he noticed the silver-haired loli sitting all by herself.

“They should… need to wait a bit longer?”

With the teacher standing in front of her, Eiya grew flustered. After straightening her posture, she became so nervous that she did not know where to put her hands or feet.

“Alright then…”

The homeroom teacher did not make things difficult for her. Turning around, he announced to the parents in the class.

“Dear parents, our parent meeting will begin in five minutes. Please quiet down a bit. If there is anything you need to prepare, do so first.”

After saying this, the homeroom teacher returned to the podium and began organizing the materials needed later. Watching this, Eiya’s heart really jumped up to her throat. Staring at the clock on the wall, she silently prayed that her sister would be reliable.

Sis… hurry up already… I’m really freaking out…’

As if responding to her expectations, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the classroom. Although the others did not react much to it, the moment Eiya heard those steps, a great sense of reassurance and anticipation welled up in her heart…

‘Wait. This footstep sound feels…’

Listening more carefully, Eiya suddenly sensed something was off.

‘Wasn’t this footstep sound way too familiar? Could it be…’

Realizing a certain possibility, the heart she had just put down jumped back into her throat. As the sound drew closer, in her dumbfounded gaze, a small figure appeared at the classroom doorway.

“Ah… made it, made it.”

Holding the door and panting, a silver-haired loli dressed in formal attire muttered to herself at the classroom entrance.

All eyes in the classroom immediately focused on the loli at the door. Not just Eiya. The teacher, the parents, and her classmates were all staring at the entrance with blank looks.

After a moment, everyone’s gaze unanimously shifted toward Eiya inside the classroom. As if confirming something, their eyes moved back and forth between the two sisters.

Because Eiya was the class’ top student and star pupil, all of the parents actually knew her. Not to mention that she had such striking silver hair. Even if you wanted not to recognize her, it would be difficult.

But precisely because they recognized Eiya, they were confused. Since Eiya was sitting in the classroom, who exactly was the silver-haired loli dressed like a little adult standing outside?

“Ah, teacher, sorry. I’m Eiya’s older sister. Because the family adults are all on business trips and it’s not convenient for them to come, I can only attend today.”

Skillfully negotiating with the teacher at the podium, the Demon Lord faced the puzzled look on his face. Turned slightly sideways to the parents below, in a spot they could not see, she calmly held up her ID card in one hand to prove her identity.

“Oh, oh, alright… then please take a seat.”

The teacher had originally been wondering whether directly confirming her identity in public would make things awkward. Seeing the clever way the loli proved herself, he confirmed that she was not some kid who ran over to impersonate a guardian and invited her to sit down.

“Sis, why did you run over like this… at least, at least don’t use this identity?”

Watching her sister sit down beside her, Eiya lay on the desk and whispered softly. She really could not understand why her sister chose to come using this loli identity.

“Relax. I know what I’m doing. Just leave it to me.”

Rubbing her sister’s head, the Demon Lord wore a confident smile, as if everything right now was firmly under her control.

Seeing that expression, Eiya, who had originally wanted to complain a bit, chose to trust her instead and quietly lay back down on her desk…
