Demon King – Chapter 791 – Pure Manly Hero?

This family really has a story behind it…

Twitching her ears slightly, the little Demon Lord was not deliberately eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people outside. It was just that the words Demon Lord had been mentioned, so she had no choice but to listen in and see what was going on.

After thinking for a while, Eiru looked at Xixia, who was bent over writing problems, and spoke.

“Hey, Dummy, let me ask you something…”

“Dummy? Me?”

Xixia pointed at himself to confirm. After glancing around and making sure there was no third person present, he finally confirmed that she was indeed calling him.

“How am I a dummy?! Since when did I have that kind of nickname? You Demon Lord really are…”

“Add three more final boss problems…”

“Sis, I was wrong…”

With just one light sentence, Xixia immediately folded on the spot. It seemed that even a hero, when reduced to being a student, could not escape the fear of practice problems.

“So, adorable Demon Lord Sister, what did you want to ask me?”

“You’re a boy, right?”

Resting her chin on her hand and sizing him up, the little Demon Lord asked in an extremely uncertain tone.

“What kind of question is that? I’m a pure man! Look, my ID card and student card are right here. I’m definitely male, okay!”

Watching him skillfully pull out all sorts of documents to prove his gender, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could easily tell that this unlucky guy had clearly been questioned about it more than once because of his delicate appearance and temperament.

“Mhm, got it, pure man…”

“Why do you sound so perfunctory! You don’t believe me, do you? Then I… I? What was I going to do?”

In his agitation, he almost blurted out something inappropriate. But suddenly, Xixia seemed to lose focus entirely, slipping into a dazed, trance-like state.

“???”

After a moment, he recovered, yet it was as if he had already thrown the whole matter to the back of his mind. He stood there blankly, looking like he could not remember what had just happened.

“It’s nothing. Just keep doing your problems…”

Eiru sighed. The brief flash of light from the pendant hanging around his neck had not escaped her notice.

Before, it had only been a personal guess. But after this simple test, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had already obtained the answer she wanted. As expected, the only one kept in the dark was this kid himself.

Even though she had seen through everything, the little Demon Lord had no intention of exposing it. On one hand, it was someone else’s family matter and not something she should interfere in. On the other hand, she had a vague feeling that if she pointed it out, it might trigger some irreversible consequence.

Casting a complicated glance toward the living room, Eiru suddenly found herself thinking about her own situation. The difference was that the couple outside had always done their utmost to stay by Xixia’s side and care for him.

“Take this mirror with you. Make sure to keep it safe…”

Reαⅾ on KаtRеаⅾіոɡCаfе

After a full day of tutoring, just before leaving, the little Demon Lord took out a small mirror about the size of an adult’s palm. Its craftsmanship was exquisite.

“What’s this?”

Xixia curiously examined the little gift Eiru handed him. After staring at it for a long time, he could not see anything special about it. It just looked like an ordinary mirror.

But if Yuki were here, he would definitely recognize this extraordinary mirror. Was this not the very tool the two of them had once used to spy on Eiya and Su Qianmeng’s dreams?

“You’ll use it in the future. Remember, don’t let your pendant touch it. Not even once!”

“Sis, can we not talk in riddles? What exactly does this mirror do?”

Seeing the serious look on the loli’s face, Xixia carefully put the mirror away, even taking out a piece of cloth to wrap it up with meticulous care. He handled it so gingerly, as if he were holding a piece of silken tofu that would fall apart with the slightest shake.

“Ah, you don’t have to be that careful. This thing isn’t worth much… I’ve still got dozens of them, and I can make them whenever I want.”

As if performing magic, she suddenly pulled out more than ten identical mirrors. That move made Xixia, who was only halfway through wrapping his, look like a complete clown.

“So it’s mass-produced! I thought it was some incredible magical artifact!”

“For ordinary people, it really is incredible…”

She let out a whistle. In the eyes of normal people, this mirror was an extremely precious item. But in her eyes as the Demon Lord, it really was nothing rare.

Even in that other world, tools for peering into dreams were extremely scarce. Solving crimes, searching for clues, lifting certain curses… Their uses were wide-ranging, but they were incredibly difficult to create. Naturally, they were rare and valuable artifacts.

But with authority in her hands, these were indeed things she could casually produce. Unfortunately, in this world, there was no way to widely market magical artifacts. Otherwise, she really could have earned some pocket money through her little handicraft business.

“Anyway, you’ll naturally use it when the time comes. This is also the thing I said I needed your help with before. So work hard, pure man Dummy Hero. I’ll be back tomorrow to check your homework.”

“Don’t give me such a long and weird nickname!!!”

The moment Xixia finished complaining, Eiru’s magical clone transformed into a streak of blue light and dissipated on the spot.

Meanwhile, the little creature that had been lying on top of the Demon Lord’s head almost got thrown to the ground by that sudden disappearance. After barely steadying itself and floating midair, human and beast stared at each other with wide eyes.

“She forgot you again? Looks like you’ll have to go home by yourself…”

“Goo!!! Yi!”

—————

At the same time, back at home, Eiru’s main body, having just reabsorbed the clone’s magic power, scratched her head as if she had forgotten something.

“Did I forget anything? Probably not… I already told him everything I needed to.”

After glancing around and finding nothing out of place, the little Demon Lord tilted her head and ultimately gave up thinking about it. She continued holding the game controller and playing the game on the TV.

“Sis, time for your medicine. Didn’t you say you had a headache? Stop playing so many games.”

Before she could even play for long, her dear younger sister Eiya appeared behind her, holding a bowl of soup that gave off a strange smell.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord immediately jolted like a cat with its fur standing on end. She slowly turned her head to look at the bowl in her sister’s hands, her expression gradually growing ugly.

“My dear little sister, your brother suddenly feels that his body no longer has any abnormalities! So this bowl of medicine can just…”

“Cut the crap! You’re just scared of bitterness! Drink it, damn it! Hurry up!”

“You’re the one who brewed this, right! Definitely you! Then I absolutely can’t drink it!”

“Do you think I’m allowed in the kitchen?! Of course Mom brewed it for you! Stop making excuses! Brother Jiaqi, I’ll hold her down. You pour it in!”

“Got it!”

Jiaqi popped out from who knew where, snatching the bowl from Eiya with a face full of schadenfreude.

“Wait! I think this… Mmph, ah—!”

Before she could finish begging for mercy, the little Demon Lord was already pinned down by Eiya, her mouth pried open as well.

“Hehehe, here comes the chicken soup!”

Saying something utterly bizarre, Jiaqi tilted the bowl and poured the entire concoction into his childhood friend’s mouth…

“Ugh! Mmmghhh!!!!”
