Demon King – Chapter 753 – White Peach Golden Oolong Tea

Watching a group of police officers escort several high school-looking boys into police cars, the onlookers in the hotel lobby pointed and whispered among themselves, privately speculating about what had happened.

“Do you want me to arrange someone to take you back?”

After loading all those little beasts into the cars, Officer Li figured it was about time to send this girl home too. So he turned to the loli who was trailing beside him like a little lackey and asked.

“No need~ I’ve got plans with a friend later. Gotta go handle something~”

Being picked up and dropped off in a police car was certainly impressive, but Her Majesty the Demon Lord had her own matters to attend to. So she politely declined her “old dad’s” kind offer.

“Alright. Then be careful. And next time, you’re not allowed to do something like using yourself as bait again. Got it?”

“Wasn’t I helping you boost your performance stats~?”

Sticking out her tongue, the little Demon Lord replied playfully, only to receive a light knock on the head.

“I don’t need to boost any performance stats. What matters is your safety.”

Officer Li looked at the mischievous girl in front of him with helplessness. Wasn’t the whole point of doing this job to keep these kids out of danger? Letting a child act as bait completely defeated the purpose.

Even though Officer Li knew that dealing with a few punks like that was no problem for Eiru, in his heart she was still a child who needed care and protection. In some ways, she was far too naive. He genuinely worried that this silly girl would end up suffering for it.

“Alright, go have fun. Stay safe. Your parents still haven’t come back to Huanghai, right? If you can, head home early. Or bring your sister over to our place for dinner.”

“Mhm! Then I’m off, Daddy~”

“Go on, go on…”

After watching the little Demon Lord dash into the alley in a flash, several of Officer Li’s colleagues gathered around him. They had heard their interaction clearly and could not resist teasing him.

“Your daughter? You’re not going to send her home? But didn’t you just say her parents aren’t back in Huanghai yet?”

“What are you talking about? That’s my future daughter-in-law.”

“Huh? That small? Are you serious?”

“Don’t let her looks fool you. She’s already sixteen.”

“No way.”

Among the people at the police station who knew the identity of that silver-haired loli, the fact that she was dating Officer Li’s son was no secret. But for those unaware of the inside story, hearing this news left them utterly stunned.

“Alright, hurry up and take these brats back to the station. We’ve got plenty to deal with. No time for small talk.”

As the commanding officer, Officer Li urged his colleagues along. Soon everyone got into their cars and drove off, taking today’s catch back to the station.

—————

More than ten minutes later, in a tea restaurant in the city center, Her Majesty the Demon Lord sat at a table holding up the menu with a conflicted expression.

Beside her sat a golden-haired loli who was slightly bigger than she was.

“So, Sika Deer, you called me out just to treat me to a meal?”

“Huh? Yeah. I was actually thinking we’d split the bill… but treating you is fine too. I’m not poor anymore.”

The little Demon Lord patted the person next to her on the back with a carefree air, making the other girl feel utterly speechless.

“Oh right, Wulong Loli, after we eat I’ll take you to watch a show… though your blood pressure might spike.”

“A show? A movie? I don’t mind. I’m pretty free today.”

Since the latter half of that sentence had been muttered under her breath, Yunyan had not heard the part that might have made her suspicious.

“By the way, Sika Deer, those clothes you’re wearing… aren’t you cold?”

After giving Eiru’s outfit a once-over, Yunyan frowned, feeling even more exasperated.

This wasn’t some convention cosplay. Wearing something like that out in public, wasn’t she afraid of dying socially?

The improperly dressed Eiru sat next to Yunyan, who was wearing a beautiful little dress. To outsiders, the two lolis with different hair colors and completely different styles looked like a delinquent girl sitting beside a little princess.

“Hm? Not cold at all… looks good, right? My wife bought it for me~”

‘Your wife really has questionable taste…’

Yunyan grumbled inwardly, and Yuki’s image in her mind dropped another notch for absolutely no reason.

“Sika Deer, move over. I’m switching seats with you.”

Letting out a helpless sigh, Yunyan stood up. After moving Eiru to the seat against the wall, she sat down on the side facing the aisle.

The little Demon Lord had been slightly reluctant. As a macho man, she should be sitting on the outside to protect girls like Wulong Loli. But since the other girl insisted on sitting there, she did not argue.

“You really are just like Seven One said… you have zero awareness of being a girl.”

Tapping her good friend lightly on the nose, Yunyan looked at the silver-haired loli with a mix of helplessness and affection. She was so carefree she was practically like a tomboy.

She often chatted with Seven One and sometimes they talked about Eiru. Since Eiru had once revealed some of her personal circumstances to Seven One, Yunyan knew that she had been raised as a boy.

“Huh? You guys talk about me too? What do you usually say?”

“For example, how someone went to a hot spring and didn’t know how to tie up her hair, sat there looking pitiful and helpless until someone noticed…”

“Cough cough! Cough cough cough! Let’s not talk about that kind of thing!”

The Demon Lord loudly coughed to cut her off. There was no way she was letting that kind of black history continue.

“That’s what Seven One said. Sika Deer, you’re just a clueless kid with no sense of being a girl at all. You still have so much to learn. Though I really don’t know what your family was thinking. Your sister seems pretty normal…”

“No, no, no. I’ve always been a macho man. I’m different from Little Ya!”

The little Demon Lord raised both hands beside Yunyan’s eyes.

“And you, Wulong Loli, sometimes you need to polish your eyes too. Otherwise it’s really easy to get tricked.”

“Can’t you just call me by my real name? We’re in real life. Stop using my online name!”

“Because Wulong Loli is Wulong Loli! Always clumsy, always causing oolong mishaps, so you’re Wulong Loli!”

“Alright, alright! Stop! Order already!”

Raising her voice to end this mutual black history exchange, Yunyan grabbed the menu from the table and stuffed it into Eiru’s hands.

“Then let’s start with a White Peach Golden Oolong Tea~”

“Order food first! Why are you ordering a drink right away?”

“Because it’s one of the signature drinks from the milk tea shop I used to work at~”

Eiru nodded confidently, but that excuse clearly did not fool the loli beside her.

“That has nothing to do with it! You just want to mess with me!”

“What?! Is that so?”

“Don’t play dumb!”
