Demon King – Chapter 780 – The Demon Lord Is Shameless

After staying inside awkwardly for quite a while with no idea what to do, the muddleheaded pair of Childhood Sweethearts didn’t talk much, yet very tacitly ran out of the little cubicle together.

And the moment they came out, they saw Eiru with both legs lifted high and resting on the back of the sofa, her whole body lying in a posture that was practically upside down over the backrest, still playing her handheld console.

Does she even know she’s a girl… At this point, let alone Eiya, even Jiaqi didn’t want to complain about anything related to ladylike behavior anymore.

“Sis, can you sit normally?”

Sitting down helplessly beside her sister, Eiya reached out and helped pull down her skirt and press it in place, preventing a certain loli from almost exposing herself due to gravity.

A pair of sisters in matching black, blue, and white gold twin dresses leaned against each other interacting. In Jiaqi’s eyes it really was a beautiful scene.

But the younger sister sat properly and gracefully, while the older sister had zero girlishness and was hanging upside down over the sofa back playing games. The contrast was honestly way too obvious.

“Hm? You two finished? Out already? Did you do anything?”

The two popped out silently, and only then did the little Demon Lord notice they had come out. Her gossip heart slightly stirred, so she immediately asked what the two of them had been doing inside.

“Uh… why would we be doing anything? Or are you expecting something, Sis? Or what exactly do you want us to do?”

Eiya and Jiaqi exchanged a glance and read the same meaning in each other’s eyes. That teasing reaction full of implication. The silver-haired loli lying on the sofa definitely had something wrong today.

‘Is your sister a bit off today?’

‘I don’t know. It’s not like she only started being shady today.’

Watching this pair of childhood friends communicate nonstop with their eyes, Her Majesty the Demon Lord revealed a gratified smile. Ah, they already have this level of tacit understanding. Nothing to worry about.

“Forget it. Serious topic. Sis, I’m going out tomorrow. I’m going to a classmate’s house… I might not be back until night.”

‘Classmate’s house?’

Hearing that, Eiru shifted her gaze away from her game screen and looked at Eiya, who was speaking seriously.

Didn’t Little Ya not really have many friends and wasn’t especially close with her classmates? Since when did she have a classmate she was close enough with to spend a whole day at their house?

“Male classmate or female classmate?”

“Male.”

“???”

Seeing the confusion and shock in her sister’s eyes, Eiya quickly explained what was going on. Specifically, her homeroom teacher was worried they’d slack off during vacation, so he organized a holiday mutual help study group. This was also part of Eiya’s holiday homework.

“No, group is group, tutoring I can understand… but letting you, a girl, run alone to a boy’s house? Is your teacher okay?”

‘Why does that sound so weird coming from you, Sis? Even though I don’t know who it was that kept running alone to Brother Yuki’s house whenever she felt like it.’

Even though she was complaining inside, to avoid misunderstanding Eiya still explained the structure of this so-called study group.

Simply put, five people per group. One top student acts as leader and guides four students with relatively weaker grades. They schedule time during vacation to tutor them. The benefit is that the leader gets noticeably less homework than everyone else.

Aside from the leader, group members were usually arranged as two boys and two girls. But because there were slightly more boys than girls in Eiya’s class, her group became one of the few with three boys in it.

Eiru remembered that when she was in middle school, her class teacher had also organized similar mutual help groups, so she quickly understood. Of course, for her back then who skipped class all day, you can arrange whatever you want, if I actually participate I lose.

“So it’s basically one big shot carrying four deadweights, got it… as long as it’s not you going alone to a boy’s house.”

While saying that, the little Demon Lord shifted her gaze to Jiaqi, who had nothing to do and had been listening beside them the whole time.

“?”

As Eiru suddenly pointed at him, a question mark practically popped over Jiaqi’s head. No one knew what weird idea this loli full of bad water was plotting now.

“Stupid Qi, you look pretty free anyway. Why don’t you go with Little Ya tomorrow?”

“Hey, don’t just make plans for someone else on your own…” Jiaqi was speechless. “This is a bunch of middle schoolers’ business. What would I, a high schooler, be doing there?”

Even though he really was pretty free during vacation, it wasn’t like he had nothing to do at all. Not to mention tutoring people was troublesome enough, going along with Eiya to a classmate’s house, if someone misunderstood and rumors spread that he was her boyfriend or something…

“You’re not going?”

“Not going. I don’t even have a reason to go.”

“I see… then I won’t force you.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord turned her gaze back to her game screen again. That unconcerned look somehow made Jiaqi feel uneasy. Was Lu Brat the kind of person who gave up that easily?

“At Little Ya’s school, I heard she was rated the school beauty. Number one on the list of girls most people want to date~”

The moment those words came out, a question mark popped over Eiya’s head instead.

‘There’s such a thing? How come I didn’t know? Sis isn’t making this up, right?’

“I also heard the people who want to pursue Little Ya line up from the classroom door all the way to the teachers’ office door… what’s that saying again? The one near the water gets the moon first, right?”

Speaking in a calm tone while playing her game, every sentence Eiru said made Jiaqi’s heart thump.

“Going to a male classmate’s house for tutoring. What a great opportunity. If there happens to be some brat inside who likes her, and there’s no teacher around like at school, and the distance is close enough, if he grabs the mood and confesses or something…”

“I’ll go! I’ll go, okay! Lu Brat! Why are you so shameless?!”

Using the calmest tone to say the most piercing words, each sentence cut into Jiaqi’s heart like a knife. Just imagining the scenario Eiru described, he couldn’t hold it in at all.

‘Are you kidding me? Some punk outside wants to lay hands on my Little Ya?’

“Hm? Am I? I think I’m just listing possibilities.”

Tapping her lips with a finger, the little Demon Lord tilted her head and acted cute, but in Jiaqi’s eyes right now, this childhood friend of his looked unbelievably punchable.

“Um, it’s just a study group… it’s not that serious…”

Eiya weakly raised one hand to voice her opinion, but Jiaqi walked behind her and placed both hands on her shoulders, seriously cutting her off.

“It’s fine. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

“But Brother Jiaqi, you just said you didn’t want to go…”

“That was me not thinking it through. My fault. Your sister’s right. A girl going alone to a boy’s house really isn’t appropriate.”

Even as he said that, Jiaqi still shot a fierce glare at the silver-haired loli on the sofa who was covering her mouth and snickering.

‘Fine. I know you’re digging a pit for me to jump into. I’ll step in it, alright?’
