Demon King – Chapter 804 – Eavesdropping

“I have a question, Little Ya, you… are you sleepy right now?”

Lying on the small compartment bed and looking at the girl curled up in his arms, Hui Jiaqi suddenly had a doubt pop into his head.

Actually it was not just him. Eiya had almost the same thought in her mind.

‘Yeah wait? We’re not freaking sleepy and we can’t fall asleep anyway, so why the hell did we climb into bed this early?’

So the two of them awkwardly climbed back out of bed again. At this hour they had no idea what they should even do. After a short discussion they decided to go check what a certain silver-haired loli was doing right now.

At the moment the little Demon Lord had already finished bathing and returned to her room. With a towel wrapped around her hair, she sat on the bed in a duck-sitting posture, gently wiping and tidying that silver-white long hair of hers that was top tier in every aspect.

When did she even learn to take care of her hair? Wasn’t it because Ning Xin had dragged her into a room and crammed a crash course of girl precautions into her… Back when they lived in Dorm 1503, her hair had basically always been handled by Yuki.

Although it was still a bit fluffy with stray frizz, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s hair now did not look as messy as before. If she did not tie a ponytail and just let it fall, that waist-length hair really did make her look like a gorgeous little princess.

“Even so, taking care of hair is really troublesome…”

On the bed there was also a phone on speaker. Eiru complained softly toward the other end to Yuki.

“You tell me, I’m a macho man, why the hell am I dealing with this kind of hassle?”

“Honestly, Lu Brat, this doesn’t even count as troublesome for you, right… You don’t even get what normal girls get, like that monthly good friend thing or whatever. Be content.”

“That’s why I don’t want to become a girl, it’s such a pain… If I hadn’t turned into a girl my life right now would be so comfy.”

“Hey, no way. If you didn’t change, where would I find a wife?”

The moment Yuki heard that he was not happy. He would rather thank that huge crystal for sending him such an amazing little loli…

‘Lu Brat, that kind of thinking is dangerous. I need to kill it early.’

“I’m just saying. No need to get so worked up. This macho man will marry none but you. You don’t need to be scared or anything.”

“Ahem, you sure it’s not me marrying you?”

“I’m a macho man, I’m a Demon Lord! Of course it’s this emperor marrying you! Wife, what’s wrong with you?”

Every time he heard that loli on the other end speak in a childish voice about macho men and wives, that intense contrast made Yuki want to laugh.

Meanwhile inside the secret passage behind the wardrobe in the little Demon Lord’s room, a certain newly established couple who had run over from the game room to check things out because they could not open the door were discussing whether they should press their ears against it and listen to what was going on inside.

“No, I mean, what could your sister even be doing at this hour? Didn’t she bathe and go to sleep?”

“Not necessarily. Either she’s chatting on the phone with Brother Yuki first… or maybe, hmm? Her needs in a certain area are pretty strong, so there’s a high chance she’s doing that.”

“Doing what?”

“You’ll get it if you think in a dirty direction.”

After thinking for a moment, Hui Jiaqi’s face instantly turned red.

‘No seriously, what’s wrong with you, you little loli? Instead of leaving her alone for that kind of thing you dragged me here to eavesdrop?’

“Come on, Little Ya, it’s not appropriate for us to eavesdrop on that kind of thing. Let her play by herself.”

“I’m not planning to eavesdrop on that.”

Eiya rolled her eyes at the person beside her, wondering if this guy had mistaken her for some kind of perverted loli.

“Can’t I gossip a bit? I just want to hear what she normally talks about with Brother Yuki, how they flirt…”

‘You couldn’t actually be clueless about how to date and want to learn something from your sister, could you…’

Hui Jiaqi looked at the girl in front of him pressing her ear to the door and listening seriously, and that possibility flashed through his mind.

But honestly speaking, there was really nothing to learn from the daily chats of that silver-haired couple. After all, either they were fooling around and teasing each other, gossiping about random fun stuff, or roasting each other like stupid bros… aside from the lovey-dovey moments, their interactions were more like a pair of best buddies than lovers.

“Oh right, Little Ya and Stupid Qi confessed to each other… in the end it was Little Ya who took the initiative and coaxed the truth out of him.”

“Just as expected, just as expected… If little Eiya didn’t take the initiative, Jiaqi would probably stay in one-sided love his whole life.”

‘Wait, what the hell, why am I getting roasted the moment I start listening?’

Urged on by his childhood sweetheart, Hui Jiaqi finally pressed his ear against the door too… and the instant he did, he heard those two jerks making fun of him.

“No, Little Ya, don’t laugh… If I’m pushed hard enough I can be aggressive too, alright? Look, today I was actually the one who confessed first, right?”

“Yeah yeah yeah, you’re totally right.”

The smile on Eiya’s face could not be hidden at all. Looks like Jiaqi’s cowardice was going to be teasing material for a long time.

“Little Lu, have you seen your little sister? If you see her tell her to go to bed early. It’s getting late.”

Unable to find her youngest daughter outside, a certain mother forced herself to come to Eiru’s door and ask.

Of course she also wanted to try whether she could use this chance to open up a conversation with her eldest daughter. Living under the same roof yet not saying a word to each other all day was indeed pretty awkward for a mother and daughter.

“Ah okay, I’ll tell her right away.” After replying, the little Demon Lord turned her head toward the wardrobe.

“Did you hear that, you two little brats eavesdropping? Hurry up and go sleep.”

‘What? We got discovered?!’

The moment their big sister said that, Eiya grabbed Hui Jiaqi and bolted from the scene… If they got remembered for this, neither of them would end well.

“My hair’s dry too, time to sleep… Stupid Yuki, you should sleep early too. Uh? Actually you probably won’t sleep that early. Anyway I’m sleeping first. We’ll talk tomorrow. Bye~”

After saying goodbye, Her Majesty the Demon Lord hung up. Actually while bathing she had already been yawning nonstop and getting sleepy. If Ning Xin had not warned her not to sleep with wet hair, the old her would have already faceplanted onto the pillow and snored away, then woken up the next day with all kinds of headaches.

“Good night, Gulu, Hulu, Mango~”

Looking at the three little ones on the bed, Eiru reached out and gently rubbed their heads, then hugged the giant teddy bear Yuki gave her and lay down, closing her eyes.

—————

The sound of clinking chains echoed beside her ears. Opening her eyes, the little Demon Lord once again returned to that pitch-black space.

“Eh? There’s more?”

She tried moving her body, but along with the clattering chains, Her Majesty the Demon Lord sitting on the throne realized her range of movement seemed to have shrunk again.

This time it was not just her wrists, neck, and ankles… her waist, the horns on her head, even the spikes on her wings and her tail were all now locked with shackles and chains.

“This time preparations are already complete… you won’t be able to wake up anymore.”

It was still that strange voice, but this time as the voice drew closer, a figure gradually stepped out of the darkness that was incomparably familiar to Eiru.

After seeing the other party’s appearance clearly, the little Demon Lord widened her eyes. Because aside from having a pair of crimson eyes, everything else was practically carved from the same mold as herself.

“Curious who I am? Then I’ll tell you…”

With a hint of smugness in her voice, the red-eyed “little Demon Lord” reached out and hooked Eiru’s chin.

“I am…”

“Stop. Don’t. I don’t want to know. I didn’t ask you either, so please don’t flatter yourself.”

“Huh?”

The smile on her face instantly froze. Eiru’s unexpected reply directly left this evil-aura-radiating “Eiru” completely dumbfounded.
