Demon King – Chapter 732 – A Curious Misunderstanding

“Seriously, Lu Brat, this time I really think you’ve got some twisted sense of humor…”

Holding his forehead, after learning how poor Jiaqi had been arranged so thoroughly, Yuki genuinely felt sorry for him.

Eiru, after all, had turned into a girl while still in the middle of her mental development. She didn’t have that kind of discomfort that came from a gender change. In fact, she had become a girl at seven years old. You could basically say she had always been a girl, it was just that no one knew.

Whether boys or girls, most people had at some point envied the other gender. Boys envied girls for being able to wear pretty little skirts. Girls envied boys for the conveniences in life. Thoughts like wanting to become a boy or a girl were actually quite normal.

But unlike those goofy netizens online who shouted all day about wanting to transform, Yuki and Jiaqi were real tough guys. Maybe they had once entertained such thoughts, but now that they both had someone they liked, turning into a girl was nothing short of torture.

Not to mention Jiaqi had to run right in front of the girl he liked…

Imagining himself in Jiaqi’s situation, Yuki felt that his emotions were very stable. Stable enough that he was already so embarrassed he wanted to board a rocket overnight and leave Earth.

“Huh? You mean Stupid Qi’s thing? But that’s what Little Ya wanted.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord tilted her head and threw out a sentence that made Yuki suck in a sharp breath.

“You mean… little Eiya? She knows Jiaqi has turned into this now?”

‘So you two sisters are teaming up for a psychological execution?’

Yuki could already picture Jiaqi, humiliated in front of the girl he liked, going home afterward and smashing his head against the wall.

“No, she doesn’t know. Little Ya just asked me to send someone over. I saw Stupid Qi was pretty free, so I sent him.”

As for what kind of trouble her little sister had been stirring up recently, Eiru herself wasn’t entirely sure. But the girl had her own sense of limits and had taken protective measures, so Her Majesty didn’t have much intention of interfering.

The two sisters had always been strictly managed by their parents. Aside from the period when Eiru lived alone outside and had some freedom, most of the time their parents would comment and interfere in almost everything they did.

Now that Ei Yuan and Liu Wan were on a business trip and only the two sisters were left at home, putting herself in her sister’s shoes, Eiru naturally didn’t want to tie Eiya down in the house the way their parents would.

If it were Ei Yuan and Liu Wan, the idea of Eiya going out to meet an online acquaintance would be absolutely out of the question. But now the one in charge was Eiru. As long as proper precautions were taken and there was no danger, she felt letting her sister go out and interact with more people and things would broaden her horizons.

“Sis, it’s like this… I’ve got some rather troublesome situation over here. Can you help me out?”

Before heading out today, Eiya had suddenly gone to Eiru to ask for help. Eiru had already vaguely guessed that her sister was involved in something, so naturally Her Majesty wasn’t stingy with her assistance.

The method of helping was simple. At a specific time, go to a certain place and back her up. Eiya’s plan was to keep her alone time with that person within a very short window. If the guy made any strange moves, her sister could immediately rush out and scare him off.

But because she was afraid that telling her sister she was dealing with some scumbag would make her worry, and she didn’t want Eiru to stress over it, Eiya had never discussed the details with her from start to finish. So Eiru only knew her sister needed someone to show up for support. She had no idea what the specific situation was.

Considering how mysterious her little sister had been and how obvious it was that she didn’t want to explain, Eiru respected that everyone had their own little secrets. So this time, she didn’t even plan to go personally.

And thus poor Jiaqi became the errand runner. Completely kept in the dark, he was thoroughly plotted against by his childhood friend.

“Based on Stupid Qi’s personality, after losing track of the two of us, he’d definitely choose to wander around outside.”

Even though Jiaqi had been abroad for years, many things about him in Eiru’s memory hadn’t changed.

“And then he won’t know where he actually wants to go, so he’ll just wander aimlessly. All I did was, when he didn’t know where to go, let my magic clone give him a little push and subtly guide him toward a certain location.”

Step by step, she guided Jiaqi toward the destination Eiya had sent over. Her Majesty the Demon Lord even calculated the timing down to perfection. If someone who knew the truth checked the time now, they would find that Jiaqi’s arrival matched exactly the time Eiya had provided.

And so, under layers of calculation and guidance, the silver-haired girl that Jiaqi had been turned into stumbled cluelessly into a tea restaurant. After pushing open the door and walking in, he had no idea why he had come to this weird place.

“Why did I come here? I’m not even hungry…”

Still questioning his existence as he walked down the aisle, Jiaqi had just passed a sofa table when a pair of hands suddenly reached out and dragged him inside.

“Wah! Big sis! Hug hug!”

Jiaqi froze. Hearing that absolutely unmistakable voice, he slowly turned his eyes and saw that a silver-haired girl was hugging him tightly, her adorable face pressed against his, rubbing back and forth.

“You came at the perfect time! I almost lost control of the situation. Good thing I’ve got you as backup! The timing is just right too!”

‘Who am I? Where am I? What is she talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word…’

Breathing in the pleasant fragrance from the girl, Jiaqi’s face flushed red, and his brain gradually slipped into blank mode.

Although the two of them had been close before, it was mostly just Eiya sitting on his lap and hugging him normally like siblings. Today, with Eiya actively rushing over to hug and rub against him like this, it was truly his first time experiencing it.

Even if she had mistaken him for someone else, having the girl he liked cling to him like this… If that didn’t make someone’s heart race, then what kind of man would he even be?

And looking at Eiya’s outfit, perfectly hitting his XP system, Jiaqi swallowed hard. His little heart pounded wildly.

‘No, I can’t take advantage of her like this…’

Even though he thought that, Jiaqi didn’t have the courage to confess his identity. If she treated him like a pervert and distanced herself, he would really go crazy.

Caught between hesitation and indulgence, Jiaqi sank into the gentle embrace and clingy affection of the girl he loved, suffering and enjoying it at the same time.

Meanwhile, in another city, as Eiru walked beside Yuki, she suddenly let out a disdainful click of her tongue.

“Tch…”

“Lu Brat? What’s up?”

“Nothing. I just suddenly feel a bit annoyed…”

Her Majesty waved her hand. She couldn’t quite figure out what that strange feeling in her chest was.

“For some reason, I’ve got this feeling that my little sister is handing herself over for free.”

“Not to that extent. She’s not you, Lu Brat. I think she’s pretty clever.”

He responded half teasing, half comforting. But in Yuki’s heart, an entirely different line of sarcastic thoughts was running.

‘Why does what you just said sound so painfully familiar?’
