Demon King – Chapter 762 – If You’re Not Beaten for Three Days, You’ll Climb Onto the Roof

The little Demon Lord had originally considered staying the night. But once Ning Xin actually urged her to stay, she suddenly felt too embarrassed to accept.

Being clingy was her default state and she wasn’t afraid of losing face. But with Yuki’s mom right there, staying over and getting all lovey-dovey with him felt… weird. And if his mother actually saw anything, Yuki definitely wouldn’t have a good ending.

But if she behaved herself and did absolutely nothing… wouldn’t that be even weirder?! They were clearly a couple. Living under the same roof and not touching each other at all? For a loli who had been starved of affection for years and whose succubus attributes were off the charts, Platonic love was completely impossible. She couldn’t hold herself back.

“I won’t stay tonight. My little sister is still at home. There are no adults there, so I’m not really at ease…”

In the end, Her Majesty the Demon Lord chose to politely refuse and used her sister as a shield.

“Your sister?”

Catching those key words sharply, Ning Xin suddenly remembered that back when she had misunderstood Eiru before, Yuki had indeed mentioned that she had an honor student younger sister at home.

“Yeah. This is my little sister… We look alike, right?”

To make it more convincing, the little Demon Lord took out her phone and pulled up a photo of the two sisters together, handing it to Ning Xin.

Though we didn’t look alike at all before… Eiru complained inwardly. People always said girls changed a lot as they grew up, but the changes in Eiya’s appearance after being affected by the Amber Crystal were completely beyond normal. Anyone comparing old photos might even think she’d had plastic surgery.

“Oh my, there are no adults at your house and it’s just the two of you? That’s too worrying. Quickly tell your sister, I’ll drive and pick her up too…”

“Mom, can you not light up every time you see a silver-haired loli… And our house doesn’t even have that many rooms.”

Seeing his mother’s reaction, Yuki held his forehead helplessly. So dragging one daughter home to treat as your own isn’t enough, and now you want the other one too?

‘What kind of condition does my mom have? Why is she suddenly so obsessed with collecting other people’s daughters? And she gets emotionally excited whenever she sees a silver-haired loli… Is this an illness? Can it be cured? Waiting online. Urgent.’

“What do you mean by that? You’re fine with two little girls staying home alone? What are their parents even doing…”

Ning Xin frowned.

“And what do you mean there aren’t enough rooms? As long as you sleep on the sofa…”

“So I have to sleep on the sofa no matter what?! Can’t my sister share a room with you instead?”

—————

At the same time, back at Eiru’s house, Eiya was still sitting astride Jiaqi’s lap, pondering what exactly that earlier sentence of his had meant.

‘I’m his bad girl? What does that even mean? It’s probably not what I think it means, right? If it is… was it a slip of the tongue? A joke? Or is he planning to prank me again?’

Clearly, Jiaqi’s childhood and his countless daily pranks had left a considerable psychological shadow on his little childhood sweetheart. Although recently, for some reason, Eiya seemed to have gained the upper hand, as if she were turning the tables.

But after being messed with so many times, Eiya still had to stay alert. Even if Jiaqi suddenly looked her in the eye and bluntly said “I like you,” this unlucky girl would still have to weigh whether there was some hidden trap behind those words.

“I was just teasing you. Why are you blushing?”

Although Jiaqi said that, under Eiya’s direct, unblinking stare, it was actually him who turned his head away with a red face and admitted defeat. If a certain Demon Lord saw this pathetic reaction, she would definitely yell that he was hopeless.

He had blurted out something that sounded like he was making a bold move while his brain was overheated. The moment the words left his mouth, Jiaqi regretted it. From his perspective, if Eiya didn’t accept it, their relationship would truly be finished.

Luckily, she suspected he was just playing a prank. Realizing that, Jiaqi actually felt relieved.

‘Thank goodness. If she figured out I really liked her, wouldn’t all our closeness look like I was being a pervert?’

“Brother Jiaqi, you can’t joke about things like that…”

Eiya puffed out her cheeks.

“Playing with a girl’s feelings is something only scumbags do, you know?”

Saying “I like you” to a girl and then immediately following it with “just kidding” would get someone chased along the Huanglong River with a brick in hand if it were anyone else.

“Even if I can’t twist open a bottle cap, I can still twist open your skull, Brother Jiaqi… If you joke like that again, I’ll kill you.”

“You’ve got that kind of strength?!”

Jiaqi’s heart skipped. After witnessing similar moves from her sister, he wasn’t entirely sure whether Eiya was bluffing.

Though her sister would never have the problem of failing to open a bottle cap. For a loli with such a steel-straight-man mentality, there was no pretending to be weak. She would just twist the thermos into a spiral to scare people.

“No, I’m just bragging… If I really had that kind of ability, would I still be bullied by you?”

Clicking her tongue, Eiya felt envious of her sister’s unmatched monstrous strength. If she had that, Jiaqi wouldn’t dare bully her even with a hundred guts.

“But come to think of it, you’ve been bullying me a lot less recently. I’m almost not used to it…”

Tapping her chin with a finger, Eiya grinned mischievously and voiced her guess.

“Do you have someone you like now, so you’re afraid she’ll misunderstand if she sees? And that’s why you only dare to be close to me in private?”

‘Hey, what’s wrong with you, you little loli? Why do you make it sound like I’m some scumbag who cheats behind his girlfriend’s back?’

“Let me guess. The person you like… could it be Xixia? That chuunibyou hero? Did you fall for him because he helped you once?”

Seeing Jiaqi’s face full of black lines while he kept silent, Eiya burst out laughing. Then she followed up with another blow, and the person in front of her instantly showed a look of horror.

“Oh! I guessed right?”

Seeing the change in Jiaqi’s expression, Eiya became excited at once. Then she got a sharp knock on the head.

“Right my ass! And Little Ya, are you secretly a fujoshi or something?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Oh, sorry…”

Eiya froze for a moment, then realized Jiaqi probably didn’t know about a certain someone’s little secret.

“But it’s not impossible for boys to like boys, right? I’m not that into it, but I’m not against that kind of development either, Brother Jiaqi.”

“I’m straight! What kind of garbage are you stuffing inside that little head of yours?! No, I have to twist your head open and see what the hell is inside!”

Roaring, Jiaqi placed both hands on either side of his little childhood sweetheart’s temples and began drilling them vigorously.

If you’re not beaten for three days, you’ll climb onto the roof. Looks like he’d treated her too well recently and she’d forgotten how terrifying he could be. The kid had started floating.

“It hurts! It hurts! Bro! It hurts!!!”

On this day, Eiya once again recalled the childhood fear of being dominated and bullied by Jiaqi.

Translator Note

Huh? What is that certain someone’s little secret?

Could it be Xixia the chuunibyou is actually a girl?

No… there is no way, right?

Otherwise, why would his mom had asked him to find a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend?
