Demon King – Chapter 735 – An Unexpected Gala

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Friday night arrived, the day of Seventh High’s year end gala. Students entered the school gymnasium in orderly lines by class, waiting for the grand event to begin.

“Hey, Yuki, where’s Lu Brat?”

iaqi, standing behind Yuki in line, noticed that the silver haired loli who was usually inseparable from him was nowhere to be seen.

“Yuki, she didn’t pull some illusion trick again, right? Is she standing next to you and we just can’t see her?”

Jiaqi looked back and forth through their class line but could not find his childhood friend anywhere. He even reached out to feel around beside Yuki, but found nothing strange.

“No. She said she had something to slip away for back in class. I have no idea where she is now…”

Yuki shook his head, then suddenly realized something and turned to Jiaqi with an incredulous look.

“Why are you here? Didn’t Lu Brat turn you into her and shove you onto the stage?”

“Hey! Do you want me to go up that badly?! Me being here is the normal situation, okay!”

A few black lines appeared on Jiaqi’s forehead. Still, since a certain Demon Lord had not come to mess with him this time, he was quietly relieved. But thinking about it, Yuki had said that girl loved lively school events like this. She had been looking forward to it, so why would she suddenly run off for something else?

“I actually think it would be pretty good if you performed… And didn’t Lu Brat apply for you?”

“No application! Thank you! If she had, there’s no way I wouldn’t have heard about it! And people who perform have to rehearse!”

In the end, the whole idea of them going up to perform had just been teasing. No one had taken it seriously. Like Jiaqi said, anyone performing had to attend rehearsals.

They had all been out having fun these past few days. None of them had gone to do any of that. So clearly they were here to be spectators, not to go on stage.

Under the teachers’ arrangements, the students had all taken their seats. While waiting for the show to begin, some people were eating snacks, some were chatting. The entire gymnasium was buzzing with noise.

‘Lu Brat, where did you run off to…’

The seat that should have belonged to his little cutie had been taken by someone else. With Ziyu on his left and Jiaqi on his right, Yuki found himself literally surrounded by men. It was not enough to give him a headache, but he definitely felt irritated.

At an event like this, not being with his wife was truly a regret. But thinking about how boys and girls were arranged in separate rows and could not sit together anyway, even if Eiru were present, the invincible Lao Ban would never actually let her sit beside Yuki.

Thinking that way, Yuki felt a bit better. Rather than sitting among a bunch of unfamiliar girls, given his girlfriend’s temperament, she was probably perched up on one of the steel beams near the top of the gym. That was her true VIP seat.

Jiaqi had the same guess. Just as the two of them raised their heads toward the ceiling of the gymnasium, the lights across the entire venue suddenly went out. Seventh High’s year end gala officially began.

As the lights dimmed, the noisy gym instantly fell silent. All eyes turned toward the stage, and the stage lights came on. Several hosts stepped into view.

But the moment the audience clearly saw the situation on stage, a wave of shocked exclamations erupted. Yuki and Jiaqi were completely dumbfounded.

“Respected teachers…”

“Dear fellow students…”

“Good evening, everyone!”

Two boys and two girls stood on stage as hosts, taking turns delivering the standard opening lines. Among them, the pair of silver haired loli sisters dressed in black and white dresses instantly became the focus of the entire audience the moment they appeared.

Fluently reciting the host script, the two lolis showed not a trace of stage fright. Their performance was no less steady than the two older boys beside them, handling the situation with ease.

“Hey, hey, hey, why is the little princess up there as a host? Something this big and you didn’t tell us, Brother Yuki…” Ziyu turned to Yuki, but seeing that his mouth was hanging open just the same, he wisely shut up.

“No, forget Lu Brat… Why is Little Ya up there too? She’s not even from our school, is she?”

Jiaqi could not wrap his head around this bizarre situation. It was like everyone in a slacker dorm agreed to rot together, and then out of nowhere one of them suddenly passed the IELTS exam. No warning at all. No one had any idea when those two girls had gotten involved.

“Maybe Lu Brat pulled some strings. Like getting Little Eiya to come study at Seventh High next year or something…”

Yuki’s guess was actually pretty close to the truth. When a certain loli suddenly came up with the idea of applying to be a host, her dear little sister naturally wanted to participate too.

Although Eiya was not a student of Seventh High, she already ranked at the top of her own school. As long as she used the promise of coming to Seventh High for high school as leverage, the teachers and administrators here would not be able to refuse something as minor as hosting a gala.

It was true that both Eiru and Eiya would feel nervous and afraid in front of large crowds. But Eiru wanted to set an example for her little sister and not embarrass herself. Eiya did not want to disappoint her big sister. That mutual feeling, combined with the reassurance of standing together, formed a delicate balance with their stage fright.

Their excellent memory meant they did not even need scripts like the two boys beside them. Showing off the lively cuteness unique to lolis, Eiru and Eiya perfectly completed the opening segment and announced the first round of performances.

After finishing the announcement, the sisters bounced backstage. At the same time they left the stage, Yuki’s phone received a message that seemed to have been scheduled in advance.

‘Surprised? Come backstage. There’s a VIP seat for you~’

Following the instructions in the message, Yuki left his class’s seating area, circled around the stage, and arrived backstage. Looking around, he saw many students and teachers preparing for upcoming performances.

Not spotting anyone immediately, Yuki did not dare to just walk in. He stood there craning his neck, looking around for the two sisters, when a chilling voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Who’s there? Sneaking around. This is backstage. Unrelated people are not allowed near here! Instead of staying with your class, you’re peeking around here. Turn around! Which class are you from? Who’s your homeroom teacher?”

A deep baritone voice paired with a stern tone. It was the aura of food chain suppression. Yuki was so frightened that his whole body stiffened. While thinking about how to deal with this teacher or administrator, he slowly turned around.

But after turning around, where was there any stern and angry teacher in front of him? There were only two silver haired lolis standing with their backs to him, hands covering their mouths, shoulders trembling as they tried desperately not to laugh.
