Demon King – Chapter 741 – What Should We Do on Valentine’s Day?

“Speaking of which, Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, right? Brother Yuki and the little princess, you two got any plans?”

While eating hotpot, the guys in Dorm 1503 were chatting at the same time. Jixian suddenly thought of the topic and casually brought it up as extra seasoning for the meal.

“Seriously? There’s hotpot in front of you and you’re choosing to eat dog food instead?”

Ziyu immediately protested. Wasn’t today supposed to be brothers only, no one acting like a dog? Why did the conversation suddenly turn into barking halfway through?

“Hm? Valentine’s Day is February fourteenth, right? The world’s first computer was born on that day… so on such a special occasion, I plan to stay home and properly keep my computer company.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord dropped that bombshell and instantly raised the topic to a strange new level. Yuki originally had no intention of bullying the two single dogs in front of him, but his little girlfriend’s words made him awkward all of a sudden.

“Oh? Then what does the little princess plan to do with her computer? Play games? Watch anime? Or spend the whole day lurking in group chats?”

“Watch NTR.”

“???”

Question marks instantly filled Yuki’s head. Not just him, Jixian and Ziyu almost sprayed the cola in their mouths. Was that something a carbon-based lifeform would come up with? What the hell was inside that girl’s brain?

“Don’t do that kind of thing! Lu Brat, can’t you do something normal? Let’s watch pure romance, okay? Pure love supremacy!”

“Bleh~”

The little Demon Lord made a face. Obviously, she was feeling mischievous again today, dancing on Yuki’s fragile nerves as usual. If she didn’t stir up trouble, her whole body felt uncomfortable.

“Looks like you’re getting cocky, Lu Brat…”

Seeing the bad smile and that face she was making, Yuki realized she was just messing around again. A gentle smile appeared on his own face. Then, under everyone’s confused gazes, he slowly reached out his hand and took out something very familiar… a ring.

“Wait?! When did you take that?! That’s not allowed! Let’s just eat hotpot properly, okay? It’s late at night, don’t do something that stimulating—”

“No, no, Lu Brat. I have to let you understand the beauty of pure love.”

As he spoke, under his little girlfriend’s horrified gaze, Yuki squeezed the ring in his hand hard…

“Stop! What you’re saying has absolutely nothing to do with what you’re doing right now!!!”

So much for not abusing single dogs. Watching the two of them fool around, Jixian and Ziyu silently took a bite from their small bowls. Even the beef in their mouths somehow didn’t taste as good anymore.

Especially Jixian. After this wave of dog food mixed into the hotpot, he suddenly regretted bringing up the topic. Speaking of which, wasn’t the little princess’s younger sister over at Jiaqi’s place? Wait, then what were those two doing right now?!

— Scene change —

“Woooah~”

“Woooah!”

“Daaamn…”

“Can you three stop making weird noises over there? And you’re not even changing the tone… what the hell is wrong with you?”

Facing his roommates’ strange, teasing voices, several anger marks popped up on Jiaqi’s forehead. Ever since Eiya entered the dorm, those three hadn’t stopped their insinuating commentary…

Especially now. When his childhood sweetheart sat directly on his lap like usual, their strange howling reached a whole new level.

“Didn’t expect you to have this much guts. Even if the dorm supervisor isn’t checking rooms tonight, how did you manage to bring a girl in?”

“And isn’t she Eiru’s little sister? She was the host of tonight’s party too, right? Didn’t expect you to be this capable. You even managed to hook up someone this top-tier?”

“We can’t clear out space for you guys tonight, so keep it down later, okay~ Tsk tsk tsk. Oh, and remember, five years minimum, be careful.”

Listening to his roommates’ bizarre remarks, Jiaqi’s headache got even worse.

‘The girl is right here, okay? Can you stop talking dirty? Don’t corrupt my Little Ya!’

Fortunately, he had anticipated this. Before they started talking, he had already put headphones on Eiya and started playing music for her. His hands were still gently covering her ears. Although he bullied her often in private, when they were outside, Jiaqi was extremely protective and doting toward the little childhood sweetheart in his arms.

“First of all, we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend. The two of us, and Lu Brat, that is Eiru… the three of us grew up together. To me, this girl is like my own little sister.”

Even though he no longer saw Eiya purely as a sister, since their relationship wasn’t confirmed yet, Jiaqi knew very well to protect her reputation as a girl.

“So I’m just taking care of her for a bit. I’ll send her back later.”

Although that was the truth, judging from the wicked smiles on those guys’ faces, Jiaqi could tell his explanation wouldn’t do much. But he couldn’t blame them… if he weren’t personally involved, even he would think that explanation sounded like bullshit.

It was all that stupid Lu Brat’s fault. Who the hell throws their own little sister into a boys’ dorm… and not even their own dorm, but someone else’s? After pulling something like that, how the hell was he supposed to explain it to anyone?

“Brother Jiaqi, I’m hungry…”

Tugging at Jiaqi’s hand, Eiya blinked her watery eyes and looked at him pitifully.

Having been hungry all evening, her little stomach was already growling. She had waited so long and still hadn’t seen her sister bring any food over. Did she forget about her?

“Wait a bit. Who knows what your sister is doing…”

Jiaqi scratched his head. He wasn’t like Yuki, who always kept a stockpile of snacks in the dorm specifically to feed girls. Watching Eiya go hungry right now, he really had no solution.

He knew Eiru sometimes genuinely forgot things, but she shouldn’t have drunk that “Forget-Your-Kid Milk” to the point that she forgot she had parked a whole girl here, right?

Just as he finished speaking, knock knock knock. The sound of knocking echoed at the door. Jiaqi quickly put the girl in his arms down and ran to open it. As expected, the delivery tool had arrived!

“Huh? Why so slow? And why are you the one delivering it, Yuki? Shouldn’t Lu Brat be the one bringing the food over…”

Seeing Yuki at the door holding a huge bowl full of hotpot ingredients, Jiaqi looked around but didn’t spot that silver-haired girl.

‘She didn’t just run off, did she? Leaving her sister here like this, are you trying to cause trouble?!’

Just as that thought appeared in Jiaqi’s mind, Yuki spoke and dispelled it.

“Uh… how should I put it? She originally said she’d deliver it herself, but right now, Lu Brat… is temporarily unable to move.”

As he explained, there was a trace of embarrassment on Yuki’s face. After all, he was indeed the culprit this time. Things got a bit too heated. That girl had already collapsed.

“These were all blanched by Lu Brat for little Eiya. She said they’re all her favorites… even the dipping sauce was mixed according to her taste. Tell her to hurry up and eat.”

Dipping sauce… the moment he heard those two words, Jiaqi immediately understood why his childhood friend had dumped her sister here.

Topics of conversation, boys’ activities and so on were secondary. The most important reason was that they were eating hotpot. And when it came to hotpot, the most important thing was definitely the dipping sauce.

Jiaqi knew very well that at home, Eiya was strictly forbidden from entering the kitchen. If she were allowed to freely create her own dipping sauce… then everyone at that hotpot table might as well not eat at all.
