Demon King – Chapter 751 – Catching a Turtle in a Jar

After Eiru left, the overly excited Cannon Fodder A ran back to the alley where his buddies were waiting. As he described what had just happened, he gestured wildly with his hands from time to time, shamelessly bragging about the eloquence he absolutely did not possess.

“She’s resting alone at that hotel. I’ve got the room number too. In a bit, we’ll get ready and head up together to her room and properly deal with her.”

Hearing that things had gone so smoothly, the group immediately started rubbing their hands together, eager to try. They could hardly wait to rush straight into the hotel and handle that top-tier silver-haired loli.

“If too many of us go in at once, it’ll raise suspicion. I suggest we split up and enter in batches, then meet up on her floor. If too many people show up together, the hotel staff will definitely start paying attention to what we’re doing.”

“Right. The longer we drag this out, the more trouble we’ll get. This time we just settle it fast and get some leverage. We’ll have plenty of chances later.”

After some discussion, they reached a consensus. This time, one of them would make the first move, and the others would provide cover.

But when it came to deciding who would get to enjoy this sweet opportunity, the group immediately split into fierce disagreement. The prey this time was far too tempting. None of them were willing to hand the chance over to someone else.

Since no one was willing to back down, an argument was inevitable. They argued over contributions, over ability, over age, over seniority, and in the end it devolved into the classic method of letting fists do the talking.

Resting her chin in her hands, a silver-haired little demon had somehow appeared atop the alley wall at some unknown point. Lying there like she was watching a movie, she enjoyed the spectacular fight scene unfolding below. Their internal brawl nearly made the loli burst out laughing.

‘With cohesion like this, and you still think you can set me up and handle me? Are you kidding me…’

Swinging her little legs from time to time as she lay on the wall, the Demon Lord found that holding back her laughter was honestly quite a challenge.

By the time the idiots finished beating each other up, none of them had noticed the small spectator who had been watching the entire show. When they finally determined a winner among themselves, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had already disappeared without a trace.

Although he had looked utterly pathetic in front of Eiru, Cannon Fodder A actually displayed decent intelligence during this ridiculous internal melee. He conserved his strength the entire time, hovering at the edge and observing, and in the end became the fisherman who profited while the snipe and clam fought.

On top of that, he had indeed been the one to negotiate with Eiru. Even though the others were dissatisfied, in their current battered state they had no choice but to grit their teeth and hand the opportunity over to him.

“Fine, you got lucky. Later you’d better bring that girl out more often so we can all have some fun too. If you try to hog her like Agui did, you know what’ll happen to you.”

“Hah. I’m not some dog who forgets his brothers the moment he gets a benefit. Of course I won’t leave you guys out in the cold. Just do your part and cover for me. We’ll have plenty of chances to play with her in the future… her little sister too.”

After a few utterly pointless exchanges, the group took a short rest and began heading toward the hotel that the silver-haired girl had mentioned, splitting into batches just as planned.

Since they already knew the room number and floor, they entered in groups of two or three and hid near the stairwell on that level. Only the final winner, Cannon Fodder A, remained behind. Once everyone else was in position, he slowly got up and leisurely made his way over.

But when he reached the hotel entrance, he spotted Eiru’s petite figure in the lobby. She was standing in front of a vending machine, one finger pressed against her lips as she stared inside, seemingly trying to decide what to choose.

“Tsk. If Stupid Yuki were here, he could just help me pick…”

After waiting quite a while for her entertainment to deliver itself with no movement, the little Demon Lord had come downstairs to buy some snacks and pass the time while munching on something. But the moment she saw the items inside the vending machine, her indecisiveness kicked in again.

“Oh my, little sister Eiru, what are you doing here?”

The boy patted his face and arranged what he believed to be his most friendly expression before walking over to strike up a conversation.

“Hm? You finally came? Then I don’t need to buy anything. Let’s hurry and get down to business…”

“Huh?”

The girl suddenly ran away from the vending machine. The boy stood there dumbfounded as he watched Eiru jog over to the elevator and stop in front of it.

When he saw her beckoning him over, the confusion in his heart turned into wild ecstasy. So the prey was not only delivering herself to the door, she was practically dragging the hunter along too.

On the way to the room, the boy occasionally tried to chat her up, fishing for more information about Her Majesty the Demon Lord. From time to time, he slipped in a few hints about benefits. His filthy intentions could not have been more obvious.

The others, hiding by the stairwell and watching the two walk side by side toward the room, felt another wave of displeasure. Thinking back to how someone had hovered on the sidelines the entire fight and still won, they suddenly felt indignant all over again.

“Now that we’re here, I’ll just say what kind of benefit I want, alright?”

As Eiru opened the room door, the boy finally stopped restraining his lewd thoughts. A vulgar grin spread across his face as he stepped toward her.

“Y-You… what are you trying to do?”

Forced backward step by step, Her Majesty the Demon Lord looked like a helpless girl cornered in fear, her face filled with apprehension.

But this was not entirely an act. The little Demon Lord was genuinely wary right now. She absolutely did not want to be touched by someone harboring such filthy intentions toward her. Honestly, it was disgusting.

“We’re already here. Do you really still need to ask what I’m going to do? It’s fine if you don’t know. You’ll find out soon enough!”

Having no intention of sharing even a single scrap with the brothers outside, he planned to shut the door and lock them out, hogging everything for himself. What he did not know was that this very action inadvertently saved his fox-friends outside once.

But just as his hand reached out, one of the quicker ones sensed something was wrong and rushed forward, slapping his hand away. Some people, after all, are the type who will still insist on courting death even when given a chance to live. You simply cannot save them.

“Damn it, trying to hog her? We agreed to work together. You get first dibs and still want to lock us out?”

“You bastard! You can watch from the side while we have our turn. Hog her all to yourself?”

“Don’t be scared, little sister. It’ll feel really good and really fun in a bit~”

Several boys suddenly crowded into the room. A few of them even started approaching her with vulgar expressions. The little Demon Lord’s face turned pale with fear. In front of them, she spun around and darted straight into the bathroom.

“Be smart and come out. If you behave, we’ll make sure you’re nice and comfortable!”

“Yeah, if you don’t listen, you’re getting punished later, okay?”

Worried that she might call someone inside, the boys knew they could not drag this out any longer. They began pounding and kicking at the bathroom door.

“Wait, it’s not locked! Hahahaha! Did this girl get scared stupid?”

One of them grabbed the doorknob and, to his delight, discovered that the bathroom door had not been locked at all. It looked like the girl had been so flustered she had forgotten such a basic step.

Amid their jeering laughter, the boy twisted the handle and pulled the door open.

With a sharp click, a pair of gleaming silver bracelets snapped around the wrist that was still gripping the doorknob…
