Demon King – Chapter 711 – Long in the Making

Eiru was lying facedown on her desk in the classroom, fiddling with her phone, boredly looking over the messages she had sent to her little sister. Yuki, sitting beside her, glanced over at the contents and could not help but frown.

“You just let Little Eiya go wander around the area by herself? Your heart is way too big, isn’t it? What if something happens?”

“Relax. There is no way anything will happen to her. Even if she drills into some back alley to stir up trouble, those lowlife punks would just turn around and run the moment they see her.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord was extremely confident in the intimidation factor she had built up around the silver-haired loli persona. Even if some freshly recruited small-time hooligans did not recognize her, the ‘seniors’ around them would definitely give them a reminder.

After all, they always moved around in small groups. And any precautions worth knowing should have already been communicated internally. Even if someone really lacked sense and made a move on Eiya, the jade pendant around her neck that Eiru had personally tampered with was not just a decoration.

While the older sister was leisurely slacking off without a worry in the world, on the younger sister’s side, Eiya was still in the alley, examining the three boys who had suddenly jumped out to ‘act righteously’.

Looking more closely, the other two did not seem particularly familiar, but it felt like she had seen them somewhere before.

With a finger pressed to her chin, Eiya searched through her memories, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not recall where she had met the two people greeting her.

“That brat really is no good. Just now he looked like he was about to confess, then he turned around and dumped you here… tsk tsk tsk.”

“He probably thought we were about to rob or beat him up. Just self-preservation. Human nature, human nature…”

While Eiya was thinking, the two of them criticized the guy who had run off, then half-squatted down to observe her reaction.

“Don’t be sad, little sister. A bad kid like that is not worth it, right?”

“I am not really sad. It is just kind of awkward.”

Eiya scratched her cheek and gave the three of them a small bow.

“But still, thank you. If he had really kept talking, I would not have known what to do.”

In this regard, Eiya was a bit like her older sister. When it came to people they were somewhat close to, neither of the two sisters was very good at rejecting others.

They both understood that this was not a good trait. Rather than being unable to refuse, it was more that when someone kept pestering them, and there was no particularly solid reason, they were not good at shutting things down completely. Always worried about ‘affecting a friend’s feelings’, there was not much they could do about it.

Now this was great. The appearance of these three had directly given her a reason good enough to refuse. Even if the other side came back later to confess and pester her again, she could reject him outright.

“It is fine, it is fine. If you have trouble in the future, you can come to us brothers for help. Though we are not around here all the time, so you can look for this brother instead!”

The two standing in front suddenly pushed forward the boy who had been shrinking back, looking shy and timid. They introduced him to Eiya with a somewhat solemn tone.

“Alright, thank you so much. But my sister might already be waiting for me at the school gate, so I will head off first!”

“Okay, go on, go on…”

After a simple farewell, Eiya trotted past the three of them with light steps. While jogging away, she continued thinking about the identities of the three who had suddenly stepped in to help. After thinking for a long time, she still could not remember where she had seen them.

The alley was rather dim, and she did not have her sister’s exaggerated night vision. She could only make out their basic appearances. Especially the one hiding at the very back, looking a bit shy. Among the three, he was the most familiar-looking.

“What is with you, why are you being shy? Wasn’t it you who asked us brothers to give you an assist?”

After Eiya left, the two boys who had spoken with her teased him in a joking tone, nudging the brother hiding in the back with their elbows.

“You went after the older sister, found out she had a boyfriend, so you retreated and decided to see if the younger sister would work instead, right? We can help you, but do not do anything immoral.”

“No, no… thanks a lot. At least we got a good start.”

He looked nervous from beginning to end. In the eyes of his two brothers, his behavior today was extremely abnormal.

“So what are you chickening out for? This really does not look like you. When you went after sis back then, you were pretty proactive. If the two of us had not stopped you, you probably would have gone straight to digging under someone else’s wall.”

At the request of one of them, the three had actually been observing here for a while. On one hand, it was to confirm whether the silver-haired loli was indeed the person they were looking for. On the other hand, it was to make sure they would not end up doing something like stealing someone else’s girl.

After spending several days confirming Eiya’s identity, they started looking for opportunities to close the distance. But Eiya was always picked up after school, and she rarely left the school gate area, so for a long time the three of them could not find a good chance.

Today, some punk kid conveniently made a wedding dress for them. Not only did he bring Eiya out, he also provided such a perfect opportunity for them to appear and get closer.

“Seriously, did you not say you had seen her younger sister before? And with this silver hair, how could you possibly mistake it? You dragged us along and chickened out for days just to confirm it. That is kind of ridiculous, right?”

“You probably will not believe it if I say it…”

The boy scratched his head, an awkward look appearing on his face.

“It is not that I could not recognize her. It is just that she really changed… by a tiny bit.”

He clearly remembered it. The older sister had silver hair, the younger sister had black hair. The black-and-white loli contrast had been extremely obvious. How did some time pass, and even the younger sister turned into a silver-haired loli?

“Anyway, whether you can get her depends on how well you two cooperate. Please! This is a super rare silver-haired loli. I do not want to miss this again!”

He clasped his hands together, looking humble and pleading. His sincerity instead made the two brothers feel a bit embarrassed.

“What are you doing? What kind of relationship do we have, why be so polite? We can only say we will try our best. Whether it works out or not, honestly, it still depends on you.”

“We have already helped you open the door. The rest is up to you?”

After spending so long just to barely get things started, even the two acting as wingmen felt a bit tired.

“When she comes to you for help, try to get some alone time and make good use of the chance. If you need anything, call us again. We have been hanging around here with you for so long that my parents have been asking why I am getting home so late.”

“Okay okay, thanks for the hard work. Let me treat you two to a drink?”

The teased boy patted his chest.

“After that, we will split up. Next is my solo performance time!”

The three laughed and chatted as they walked out of the alley. As the light fell on them, their appearances were fully revealed.

If a certain sister-protecting Demon Lord were here right now, not only would she recognize all three of them on the spot, she would probably get a little emotional as well.
