Demon King – Chapter 770 – Teaching Objective

“Come on, Mommy will ask you one more time. What is our goal?”

“No cavities—ah!”

Before she could finish being cheeky, the little Demon Lord took a solid flick to the forehead.

“To become a la—dy—”

Reciting in a completely flat tone, Her Majesty the Demon Lord covered her forehead and even dragged out the last two syllables ridiculously long.

Watching this absurd scene, Yuki truly couldn’t hold it in. He covered his mouth and turned his face away. Even though he didn’t make a sound, his trembling shoulders completely exposed the expression on his face.

Eiru stared expressionlessly at the someone on the sofa who was mercilessly laughing at her, silently calculating how she would deal with him later.

“Mom, she really can’t become a lady… pfft hahaha, just let her go hahahaha.”

“Cut the nonsense. If you can’t become one that’s your problem. Our little Eiru is obedient, sensible, and capable… she can definitely reach the goal, right?”

“Right—”

Still responding in that robotic tone, the little Demon Lord let Ning Xin rub her head, her face devoid of expression while her heart held a completely different set of thoughts.

‘Right my ass. I’m a dignified macho man, why do I have to become a lady? Being a lady means being all restrained and delicate. Troublesome and boring…’

Hearing his mom say that, Yuki almost fell off the sofa.

‘What the hell? I’m a guy. Of course I can’t become a lady. Mom are you serious?’

Satisfied, Ning Xin released the silver-haired loli and sent her back to the room. Like she’d been granted amnesty, the little Demon Lord bolted straight into Yuki’s room in a flash. The spacious living room was left with just the silver haired mother and son.

“So Mom, are you seriously trying to raise her into a lady?”

Yuki did hope his girlfriend could receive proper guidance and education, learn the common sense a girl should know, and develop some self awareness as a girl… but if you were talking about turning her into some refined lady, he truly wasn’t thrilled about that.

Eiru’s personality and her past experiences were right there. As the saying goes, forced melons aren’t sweet. A lady’s image on her would not only look out of place, it would feel like forcing her into something she wasn’t.

Besides, the most adorable and charming thing about her, at least in Yuki’s eyes, was that tomboyish contrast.

“If possible, of course I’d want that…”

Ning Xin answered seriously.

“But judging from that girl’s situation, it’s basically impossible.”

Having raised a child before, Ning Xin could see what Eiru’s issues were. The main problem was that she wasn’t a little kid. The ideas she had already formed were far too difficult to correct.

So from the very beginning, she never expected her future daughter-in-law to become some elegant lady. It was more like administering a strong dose of medicine. However much she could instill, she would. At the very least, she had to hammer in the basic concepts of being a girl.

“Look at her. No sense of awareness at all. She wouldn’t even know if someone took advantage of her. If she runs into someone outside with bad intentions… I’m doing this for both of you.”

“I get it. She really does attract wolves easily…”

Yuki sighed helplessly at that topic.

The wolves eyeing his girlfriend, just the ones he personally knew about, were already several. As for how many he didn’t know about, or how many she had encountered before he was around, there was no way to tell.

“That just proves our little Eiru is cute… wait. She’s already run into people like that? And from your tone, it sounds like there were quite a few?”

“Too many. I can’t even count.”

Yuki slumped back into the sofa with a lifeless expression.

“Nothing happened to her, right? You have to protect her properly.”

“Let me tell you the truth, Mom.”

Hearing that, Yuki straightened up with a complicated look.

“I’d love to play the hero and be her knight in shining armor… but I honestly don’t get the chance. The situation just doesn’t allow it.”

What boy hadn’t imagined a hero saves the beauty scenario? Especially when it came to a girl he liked. No one would refuse to be the hero who rescued her from danger.

But everyone knew that a certain loli’s combat power was off the charts. Anyone who dared make a move on her had already been sent packing. Forget being a hero saving the beauty. The street punks in the Eastern District now detoured at the sight of silver white hair.

If she really ran into trouble, to put it bluntly, if there was someone she couldn’t beat, Yuki stepping in would just be feeding himself to the enemy. That was why he often felt powerless. Like he couldn’t do more for his girlfriend.

“Most of the time she doesn’t even realize someone has feelings for her. She just keeps calling them bro like an idiot… but that mentality and her love for causing trouble actually end up ruining those people’s plans and frustrating them.”

That treating everyone like a brother, completely oblivious attitude. Not just those wolves. Even when Yuki was pursuing her, he’d had to take a huge detour because of it.

“I’m not really worried she’ll get into serious danger. I’m more worried about her getting groped or taken advantage of without even realizing it… but her total lack of crisis awareness will cause problems sooner or later.”

“Education is urgent, Mom… if you can teach her well, I’ll be overjoyed.”

Listening to her son list all of Eiru’s issues, and recalling that foolish girl climbing into a boy’s bed in the middle of the night, Ning Xin felt the weight of her task grow heavier.

—————

“What were you talking about with your mom?”

Curled up on the bed playing Yuki’s game console, the little Demon Lord noticed him return and poked her head out from under the blanket to ask.

“What else? Talking about you.”

“About what? Where to hold the wedding, or which restaurant for the banquet?”

She lowered her head and kept playing, speaking as if it had nothing to do with her. The outrageous comment made Yuki blush.

“You’re already thinking that far ahead?”

Yuki sat down beside her with a smile.

“Looks like I need to prepare a wedding ring for you now…”

“No no no, forget that thing…”

Eiru quickly freed one hand to wave it dismissively.

“I really don’t like wearing jewelry. It’s uncomfortable. And as a macho man, wearing that stuff feels weird.”

“But if you really like that vibe, I can shrink my ring a bit and let you wear it instead.”

“…Lu Brat, do you know what you’re even saying?”

“Yeah. Want some yogurt?”

As she spoke, the little Demon Lord suddenly produced an unopened box of yogurt from who knows where and handed it to him.

Yuki didn’t stand on ceremony. He took it and prepared to peel open the top seal. But the moment he applied pressure, yogurt sprayed out from a tiny hidden hole in the middle of the box, splattering onto his pants… in a very delicate position.

“You fell for it!”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly tossed aside the console and jumped up on the bed, pointing at the yogurt stain on his pants and laughing maniacally.

“Good, Lu Brat. As expected of you. Truly your handiwork…”

Seeing Yuki turn his head and reveal a gentle smile, the little Demon Lord stopped bouncing. A chill ran down her spine.

“Your prank has caused serious damage to my soul and dignity. Next you’ll compensate me with your body~”

“Excuse me? What kind of pervert line is that? And what damage are you—wait! You still have yogurt on you! Don’t jump over here! Don’t come any closer!!!”
