Demon King – Chapter 70 – In the Lolita Store

“I expected this. It would be strange if a physical store had my size…” With her hands behind her back, the little demon lord turned her face to the side. Even though she said that, she couldn’t help but be disappointed.

Yuki could only smile awkwardly on the side… When they first came in, she had been more excited than anyone else. Running around in the store, looking here and there, her eyes full of little stars.

Even though she ran around the store, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was still very well-mannered. On the surface, she looked like a troublesome child, but if you observed her carefully, you’d find she was very careful to avoid not only other customers, but also the mannequins and clothing.

Her excitement didn’t last long. After Eiru wandered around in a circle and ran back to Yuki’s side, it was like a bucket of cold water was directly poured over her head.

“I’m really sorry, but for your sister’s body type, we… temporarily don’t have any sizes suitable for her…” The shop assistant nearby was apologetically explaining to Yuki.

Mistaken for siblings again… Yuki was somewhat speechless. But since they both had silver hair and blue eyes, being misunderstood was normal. However, since he had… other thoughts about the girl, he was a bit displeased.

Then came the scene from the beginning. Muttering quietly, the little demon lord started absentmindedly complaining…

“Stop looking, let’s go…” The little demon lord grabbed Yuki’s hand, planning to leave.

“You go look at other things first, I’ll see if there’s another way.” Pulling the girl back and crouching down to pat her head, Yuki pointed to some areas not far away in the store, telling her that she should look at some accessories first.

“Emmmmm, alright…” She was quite skeptical about Yuki’s solution, given that he didn’t know anything about the topic. With a “since we’re already here” mentality, Her Majesty the Demon Lord ran alone to the shelf on the other side to see if there were any accessories suitable for her.

“Money isn’t a problem. Could you look again? She really wants to wear this type of little dress…” After the girl left, Yuki smiled embarrassedly and pleaded with the female shop assistant in front of him.

“But such a small child—I really suggest you take her to a children’s clothing store. Look at the clothes in our store—most are one-size-fits-all, and she simply can’t wear them.”

“Do you accept custom orders?”

“We don’t. We only have ready-made stock. Shopping at Lolita stores is like shopping on Taobao—most Lolita girls who come here are actually hoping to find dresses they like that have been discontinued, so they come to try their luck.”

“I don’t understand any of this…” Yuki scratched his head, wondering if buying clothes was really this troublesome.

As the two were talking, a girl in gothic Lolita walked into the store. Seeing Yuki talking with the shop assistant, her eyes lit up and she walked over in quick steps.

“Ah, hello.” The shop assistant also saw the girl walking over quickly, greeted her and nodded. From her attitude, this person seemed to be a regular.

“What happened?” Yuki was sizing up the other person when she suddenly spoke, her deep voice startled him.

Holy crap, a crossdressing boss? You couldn’t tell at all without hearing the voice! Yuki was completely stunned.

Though he’d seen them online before, they were usually either heavily photoshopped or painful to look at. Even the good-looking ones, you could easily tell that they were a guy.

But this person in front of him—this appearance, this temperament… directly refreshed Yuki’s understanding of a crossdressing boss. As long as they didn’t speak, no matter how you looked, she was just a beautiful girl in a gorgeous gothic dress, right?

“Cough cough…” Seeing Yuki’s expression as if he’d seen a ghost, the other person coughed lightly twice. Yuki immediately noticed his rudeness, quickly straightened his appearance, and smiled apologetically at the other person.

“This is a regular customer of our store, a senior Lolita enthusiast.” Introducing him to Yuki, the shop assistant said, in Yuki’s eyes, some terrifying words.

“It’s like this—this gentleman wants to buy a nice Lolita outfit for his sister, but his sister’s body type is really too…” Explaining to the Lolita enthusiast, the shop assistant pointed to the little demon lord looking at accessories not far away.

“Uh… she is a bit too small.” Looking at her height of just over 1.4 meters, the Lolita enthusiast held her chin, indicating it was indeed difficult.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Yuki felt like the other person was a bit disappointed when he realized that he was buying clothes for someone else.

He was probably just overthinking it… Yuki patted his head, threw this weird thought out of his mind, and then asked this senior crossdressing boss in front of him.

“Can you think of a solution? We came all this way, and I don’t want her to leave disappointed…”

“Ermmmmm…” After thinking for a moment, the Lolita enthusiast seemed to remember something, suddenly clapped, and said to the shop assistant.

“What about that ‘prize’ your store won before? Hasn’t it been impossible to sell? Could you bring it out to try?”

“Right! I’d given up hope of selling it and forgot all about it. I’ll go talk to the manager and have her bring it out for her to try.” The shop assistant suddenly brightened up and hurried toward the back.

“Won a prize? What prize?” Yuki was confused. What riddles were these people speaking? Shouldn’t riddlers be in Arkham?

“It’s a sarcastic way of saying something, like ordering something but realizing that it was defective.” Seeing Yuki’s confused face, the Lolita enthusiast explained.

“Previously, a girl ordered a custom Lolita set from another shop, but ended up missing the final payment, so they left it here. Then when this store was ordering stock from there, the shop threw this set in to make up the numbers.”

“Because the girl who ordered it had some issues with her body, and it was made quite small. It simply couldn’t be sold and has been gathering dust in the warehouse. The manager of this store has been troubled by it…”
