Demon King – Chapter 772 – This Is a Big Deal, We Can’t Be Sneaking Around

“I’m playing at a friend’s house… yeah, at a friend’s place…”

The little Demon Lord answered the person on the other end of the phone in a perfunctory tone, her face full of impatience and displeasure.

“Eiya? She’s at Stupid Qi… Jiaqi’s house. Yeah, his parents are home too. Why does she have to go over? You’d have to ask her that, wouldn’t you?”

After finally dealing with the person on the other end, Her Majesty the Demon Lord hung up and flopped onto Yuki’s bed like a deflated balloon.

“Your parents?”

Yuki asked a question with an obvious answer. In truth, even before Eiru picked up the call, judging from the expression on her face, he had already guessed who it was.

“Who else would it be? Hardly anyone calls me normally…”

She rolled her eyes at him. Even though this time they had not spoken for long, every time the little Demon Lord talked to those two, she would feel an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.

A certain couple who had been on a business trip for days had finally returned home, only to discover that both their daughters were nowhere to be found. Naturally, that scared them enough to make a call and ask what the hell was going on.

“They even said they missed me, told me not to play around too much, and to go home early… tch…”

Clicking her tongue, Eiru felt irritated just thinking about how they had treated her in the past.

“Well, if it were me, I’d be pissed too.”

Yuki gave a helpless smile, reaching a hand behind his little girlfriend and gently stroking her back as if smoothing a cat’s fur.

“To say something blunt, Lu Brat. If they weren’t your parents, I might really have gone up and slapped them twice. So if you dislike them, I completely understand.”

“Huh? It’s not that serious…”

The little Demon Lord suddenly sprang upright from the bed.

“I do find them annoying, but it’s not to the point of hating them.”

A kid with Eiru’s personality simply hated trouble and disliked offending others. Even when faced with rejection, she would still try hard to mend the relationship. With that kind of attitude, it was genuinely difficult for her to truly hate anyone.

So toward that odd pair of parents, her feelings were more indifference and disappointment. No matter how helpless she felt, they were still her biological parents.

“Even though we’ve talked about this more than once, back then they only focused on Eiya and had me move out to live alone. Honestly, I can understand that…”

“I know they don’t truly not care about me. They’ve told me sorry and said they really do care about me and all that… The words are sincere, and the attitude isn’t fake, but I’m still upset inside.”

“That’s because you’re too soft-hearted and too sensible…”

Looking at the loli beside him swinging her legs with a displeased expression, Yuki slipped his arms under her armpits and lifted her straight onto his lap.

To be honest, after experiencing a childhood filled with that much regret, Yuki felt that even if Eiru had completely fallen out with them and cut ties, it would not have been excessive or strange at all.

But this girl was just too understanding, too used to considering others’ feelings. As an outsider, Yuki felt a strong sense of injustice on behalf of his little girlfriend.

“And Stupid Yuki, what gives me the biggest headache right now is… if they find out we’re dating, will they come and cause trouble again?”

Considering their personalities, Eiru did not think it was impossible. She was not afraid exactly. Worst case scenario, she could just run. But she had always kept her distance from trouble, and the last thing she wanted was to cause problems for Yuki’s family.

“Hm? When it comes to this, I actually don’t think they’d oppose it…”

Since the loli in his arms brought it up, Yuki frowned slightly. He had a different take on the matter.

“Don’t tell me you’re planning to tell them our whole story like you did with your parents and try to win their approval?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord looked horrified. Compared to Yuki, she understood those two far better and did not believe it would be that easy.

“You don’t understand those two at my house. My dad’s alright, but my mom’s desire to control Eiya and me is ridiculously strong.”

“So honestly, compared to my mom, I’m less bothered by my dad… even though he was the one who beat me back then…”

“I’m not saying this because of that.”

Ruffling Eiru’s surprisingly nice-feeling hair, Yuki smiled and slowly voiced his thoughts.

“You told me before, right? Your family works in home furnishing and decoration. I went and looked into it later and found that my family has actually had quite a few… you could even say stable collaborations with yours.”

In other words, aside from the fact that their fathers were friends, Yuki’s mom had already worked and interacted with Eiru’s parents.

Since their relationship was not that of complete strangers, and with one side of parents already giving their support, Yuki felt that their relationship was not something impossible to talk about. There was plenty of room to maneuver.

“Huh? I didn’t know that… But why does what you’re saying sound like some kind of business marriage plot from a novel? That’s so weird.”

The strong sense of déjà vu sent the little Demon Lord’s imagination running wild. Immediately, Yuki flicked her forehead lightly.

“Don’t mess around. If they were really the type to sell their daughter like that, I’d look down on them even more.”

After all, they were his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Yuki did not want to think of them in such an ugly way.

“I’m just saying everyone’s on good terms, so getting their support for us isn’t especially hard. The key issue is choosing the right timing to be honest with them.”

“Ugh… honestly, it’s such a hassle. I kind of want to hide it from them for the rest of my life…”

Tilting her head, the Demon Lord said something childish in her usual style, which made Yuki burst out laughing.

“No way. This is a big deal for us. What kind of nonsense is it to sneak around?”

“Ugh… and you have the nerve to say that? Think about before your parents knew we were dating. Weren’t you sneaking around too?”

“Ahem ahem… don’t nitpick the details. Besides, aren’t we out in the open now?”

Yuki coughed awkwardly. Rarely gaining the upper hand, how could the little Demon Lord possibly let this chance slip by? She immediately pressed the attack.

“Last night we were still sneaking around! What do you mean out in the open? You Stupid Yuki. Idiot Yuki.”

“Hey, wait a second. Weren’t you the one who sneaked in last night? What does that have to do with me?”

“You knew about it. You’re an accomplice!”

“Fine! Then next time I’ll just turn you in!”

“You dare? I’ll stew you!”

While bickering, the little Demon Lord waved her tiny fists and launched a “fierce” assault at the boy in front of her…
