Demon King – Chapter 730 – Waiting for Reinforcements

As long as Wulong loli could clearly see this bastard’s true face… Thinking that way, everything Eiya was doing was to make sure that a poor girl wouldn’t keep being kept in the dark by such human trash.

Although the plan was progressing fairly smoothly, Eiya herself was actually stuck in a dilemma. In order to protect herself without alerting the other party, she had been guarding against Agui at every turn, leaving him absolutely no opening to exploit.

But the problem was right there. If she truly gave him zero openings, then in everyone else’s eyes, the relationship between the two of them would just look like that of ordinary friends.

In fact, if someone else were to see the way the three of them were interacting right now, they might even think that this Agui was a decent guy playing the role of a protector. That kind of contradictory outcome was not what Eiya wanted to see at all.

Only by letting Wulong loli see his scumbag side of flirting with other girls could she achieve her goal. But Eiya also wasn’t confident she could fully play the role of bait. If things really went wrong and she got treated like a lamb and eaten, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

She had only met Wulong loli a few times, and most of those encounters were actually from her sister’s memories. Even so, this cute blonde girl big sister was quite likable to Eiya. Knowing about something like this naturally stirred up a sense of pity, making her want to help.

It wasn’t just about fearing she might get dragged in herself. She remembered the first time they met. Even though it was only for a short while, Eiya had indeed seen something in that Wulong loli… signs of yandere potential.

So in Eiya’s plan, the timing of letting Yunyan see things also had to be carefully controlled. Otherwise, if it was misunderstood as her actively seducing someone else’s boyfriend or something, forget about exposing the truth and letting her see Agui’s real face. The other side might rush over with a knife at the first moment and stab her as a homewrecker.

While preparing all aspects of the plan, just like how Agui was looking for a breakthrough to get some alone time with her, Eiya was also searching for an opportunity to break this deadlock. Gritting her teeth, she finally decided to make a sacrifice today and go all in.

Just like before, she spent most of the time sticking with Xueli, giving that scumbag absolutely no chance. When the timing felt about right, sure enough, Xueli, seeing that the sky had darkened quite a bit, brought up the idea of heading home.

“It’s winter, it gets dark early… Should we head home now? It’s not very safe around here after dark.”

Thinking that if the two girls kept sticking together, him tagging along would just look like a joke, Agui was also planning to go along with Xueli’s suggestion. Just when he thought today would once again end in complete failure, something unexpected happened.

“Hm? Then Sister Xueli, you go home first. Someone’s coming to pick me up, so I can stay here a bit longer.”

As she spoke, Eiya suddenly shot Agui a meaningful look.

“Hm? As for me, I’ve got a few brothers driving over later. We’re heading somewhere together after that. Leaving Yaya little sister alone here wouldn’t be safe, so I’ll keep her company for a bit.”

Agui, who had originally planned to immediately respond to Xueli’s suggestion and bail, suddenly had other thoughts after hearing Eiya’s words. When he caught the hint in the look she threw at him, he was overjoyed and immediately changed his plan.

“Uh? Then I’ll head back first… Yaya, be careful.”

Thinking about how this guy had always maintained a polite, gentlemanly distance during this time together, Xueli felt that at least in public, he probably wouldn’t dare do anything harmful to Eiya.

And Eiya seemed to have known him for quite a while. Compared to having no one around and risking some kind of accident, having someone accompany her did seem more reassuring. So in the end, Xueli didn’t object to the two of them clearly wanting some alone time.

“Don’t drink anything he gives you. Stay in crowded places as much as possible. Anyway, be careful.”

Although she had snuck out and was eager to get home for fear of getting scolded, Xueli still bent down and whispered a few reminders into Eiya’s ear, unable to fully relax.

“Alright, I’m off. You two better not pull any funny business while I’m gone… If I catch you, there won’t be any good ending for you. Bye.”

Leaving behind that joking line, Xueli said goodbye to the two of them and hurried off.

‘This counted as being alone now, right…’

After Xueli left, Eiya stirred the straw in her cup, occasionally sneaking glances at Agui sitting across from her. Sure enough, the moment Xueli was gone, his gaze never left her.

“What are you looking at?”

Since he kept staring at her, her little sneaking glances had definitely been noticed too. Eiya decided to be direct and took the initiative to start a conversation.

“Hm? Looking at you. I just think you’re really quite cute.”

“Hey, careful. That’s five years minimum.”

She replied with a playful expression on her face. Normally, this kind of line could be taken as a joke, but knowing what he was really thinking, Eiya felt so disgusted she could almost throw up.

“What do you mean? You’re just petite and adorable. I don’t see you as a kid at all.”

‘Right. You’re just lusting after me and my sister, wanting to trick both of us into your bed. Deal with me first, then use me as leverage to deal with my sister, right.’

If this were the past, Eiya might actually have gained a bit of goodwill toward him. But now that she knew everything, all she felt was revulsion and disgust.

Judging by this guy’s usual habits and methods, even if it was just a guess, he was probably the type who played PUA mind games. If he wanted to proceed steadily, then on a first time being alone like this, he probably wouldn’t make any big moves.

That was the point Eiya was betting on. But it wasn’t really a gamble. Since she dared to plan being alone with him instead of slipping away with Xueli like usual, it meant she already had backup prepared.

‘Hopefully big sis doesn’t drop the ball… That chuunibyou hero should have already passed on the information he needed to notify her.’

Although her sister always gave off an air of being silly, cute, and unreliable, Eiya trusted her abilities deeply.

Just like Eiya had predicted, after Xueli left, Agui’s actions did become noticeably more proactive, but he still maintained a certain distance and didn’t recklessly push forward.

Just as she relaxed a bit after that thought, when Eiya reached out to grab a tissue from the table, his hand suddenly landed on the tabletop right next to her palm, startling her badly.

“Ah, sorry. I also wanted a tissue. Almost touched your hand, so I avoided it.”

Scratching his head, Agui continued to put on that honest, simple facade.

“Oh right, look at this. It’s super fun.”

A bad feeling started to rise in her heart. Eiya was just about to make up an excuse like going to the restroom to leave for a bit when Agui suddenly used showing her something interesting on his phone as a pretext to move over and sit down beside her.

‘Eek?!’

Eiya was so startled that she quickly shifted half her body away. She had zero desire to be close to this scumbag beside her. But suddenly chasing him off would make things look suspicious, so she could only endure it silently for now.

‘Sis, when is your support getting here?!’
