Demon King – Chapter 81 – No! Stop Right Now!

After finishing the phone call with his mother and handling some miscellaneous matters, Yuki called his roommate to inquire about today’s situation at school.

“Alright… today was just review, right? That’s good…” Yuki wasn’t too worried about the teacher suddenly teaching new material. After all, with final exams coming up, review was definitely more important.

“It’s fine, I’ll definitely be back before room check tonight. Just have Jixian save me two yakisoba breads for a late-night snack.”

“Oh right, tell Eiru for me to be prepared—when I get back today, I’m going to teach him a lesson…” With a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, the bombs a certain loli had dropped today were too shocking.

It was one thing for a little loli who’d been raised as a boy since childhood to be naive… but how could a 16-year-old boy also be so clueless?

Since the girl had already given her heart to his best friend, Yuki certainly wouldn’t let him continue to be oblivious. After taking so much from her, he should at least take responsibility!

For the first time, Yuki felt a headache over Eiru’s carefree personality. Someone like him probably didn’t notice the girl’s feelings at all, right?

As for taking advantage of her, that blockhead definitely had no malicious intent. At most, he probably just treated her affection like they were playing house, right? Someone like him probably hurt the girl’s heart without even realizing it.

He needed to teach him a proper lesson and make him take responsibility. Even though he didn’t know how far those two have gone, it was definitely past just hugs. Just the fact that they were living together and slept in the same bed would affect the girl’s reputation if it got out.

“Relay what message? Housewife Eiru hasn’t returned to the dorm since last night, okay?” On the other end of the phone, Ziyu’s tone sounded quite helpless.

“What did you say? Eiru hasn’t been back since?” Yuki keenly sensed something was wrong.

“Yeah, good thing my son and I were clever and covered for you two. I thought you were together—you’re not?”

“Who’s your son? Getting brave again?” Jixian’s voice came through the phone, and Yuki could already guess what would happen next.

“Whoever responds is my son…”

“You’re done for. Today, only one of us can make it to the evening self-study alive.” Even through the phone, Yuki could feel murderous intent from the other side.

“My son is starting trouble. Anyway, give him a call and ask. If someone’s missing for more than two days in a row, it gets hard to cover for them… hanging up now!”

“Alright…” Just as Yuki finished speaking, only a beep remained on the other end.

“Maybe when I get back, there’ll only be that phone left at the scene?” Chuckling at his own joke, Yuki put the phone down from his ear and began worrying about his buddy.

Normally, Eiru didn’t like going home much. Unless his family pressured him on weekends, he could probably stay in the rental apartment until the end of time and never go back.

If there was an emergency at home and he needed to rush back, it was unlikely that he wouldn’t tell Yuki. But he was currently in Eiru’s rented apartment—if he wasn’t here, and hadn’t gone back to the dorm, where could he have gone? Could something have happened to him?

Thinking this, just as Yuki was about to dial Eiru’s number to check up on him, the bathroom door suddenly opened. The sound of the bathroom door opening immediately diverted his attention.

The little demon lord slowly walked out of the bathroom. After seeing Yuki not far away, her gaze slowly changed from relaxed to resentful.

It had taken four whole tries to suppress the fire, and now her legs were so weak she could barely walk. Her body was limp without any strength. Her Majesty the Demon Lord was so tired she didn’t even have the energy to get angry. She was just aggrieved—besides feeling wronged, she only found Yuki annoying right now.

“What’s wrong with you?” Noticing something off about the girl, Yuki asked with concern.

“By the way, you took quite a long bath… You didn’t almost faint in there, did you? Try sitting down and resting for a bit?” Unable to figure out what was wrong, Yuki thought she might be like this due to bathing too long combined with a poor constitution.

After all, neither Eiru nor she had much money. Eiru was fine since he had his support, but it wouldn’t be strange for the girl to have poor nutrition and a weak constitution…

Looking at the girl’s frail, petite body, Yuki became even more convinced of his assessment.

Wait? What was she wearing? Yuki suddenly noticed that her clothing seemed somewhat wrong… wasn’t that Eiru’s T-shirt?

A 16-year-old boy’s T-shirt worn by a little loli barely over 1.4 meters tall. The completely ill-fitting clothes looked like a dress on her, giving off both a shut-in sister vibe while also appearing somewhat comical.

“Didn’t I buy you clothes? Why are you still wearing Eiru’s clothes…” Yuki felt both amused and exasperated, asking her a question with mixed feelings.

From the look of it, it was obviously not the first time the girl had worn his clothes. These two had a much more intimate relationship than he had imagined…

“Are you an idiot? I obviously washed them!” The already somewhat displeased little demon lord rolled her eyes. “Who doesn’t wash new clothes once to rinse them?”

“I didn’t think it through…” Holding his head, Yuki felt somewhat helpless. “Then what about your underwear? Did you also wash the emergency set I bought you?”

“Of course! Outside clothes are one thing, but everyday clothes at home, pajamas and such—newly bought items definitely need to be rinsed! Especially underwear.”

After all, new clothes came directly from factories and could very likely have residual chemicals on it. Especially undergarments—unless absolutely necessary, it was better to wash newly bought clothes once before wearing them.

“So what’s your underwear situation now? You didn’t change?”

“I’m not wearing any.” Stating something terrifying in a matter-of-fact tone, Yuki couldn’t imagine how a girl could say such things in front of a guy.

“You… besides Eiru’s T-shirt? You’re not wearing anything underneath?”

“Yeah, I’m at home anyway. Not so bad other than it being a bit uncomfortable and breezy… Walking on her weakened legs, Her Majesty the Demon Lord said things that once again horrified Yuki while slowly making her way to the sofa.

“Wearing it or not makes no difference anyway… I’m flat to begin with, so besides panties, I normally don’t wear a bra either.”

Yuki was too shocked to speak… As a guy, he couldn’t really comment on a girl not wearing a bra. But saying such things so casually in front of someone else… should he say that she was “worthy of being raised as a guy since childhood”?

“Forget it, I don’t understand these things.” Sighing, Yuki picked up his phone again. “I have some errands to run and need to leave soon. Be careful when you’re alone here, okay?”

“Eh? Not staying for dinner? You treated me to lunch, so I wanted to keep you here for dinner.” Eiru’s tone was somewhat surprised—she had planned to make dinner more elaborate tonight to repay the favour.

“No, no. If you were cooking personally, I might consider it.” Glancing at the kitchen stove height, Yuki was quite certain that Eiru was normally responsible for cooking.

The girl in front of him couldn’t even reach the stove height—how could she possibly cook personally? He was just teasing her… With Eiru not here, she’d probably just order takeout, right?

Speaking of which, he’d known her for two years and didn’t even know her phone number… He should ask for her contact information later and transfer her some money for takeout.

“I do the cooking myself. I’m normally the one who cooks. There’s food in the fridge too—if you stay, I can make something good today.” Tilting her head, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt somewhat puzzled.

“Huh? Eiru doesn’t cook?” Yuki felt somewhat surprised. After all, he knew that Eiru was pretty good at cooking—Is he actually lazy enough to have a loli barely over 1.4m tall cook for him?

Damn, so envious… I want a housewife loli to cook for me. Thinking this, Yuki made his decision… He was definitely going to mooch off her for dinner!

“Then I’ll stay today to try your cooking!” Yuki smiled. “My business isn’t too urgent anyway—just delivering something to my dad.”

“Ok! I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. So far, no one who’s eaten my cooking has ever said they were ‘unsatisfied’!” Her tail held high, anyone could see that she had pride in her cooking.

Other than Jixian and Ziyu who ate her pickled vegetable fried rice once, only Yuki has ever eaten her cooking before. While feeling proud, Her Majesty the Demon Lord silently complained internally.

“Alright, alright, little Lu is the best…” Meanwhile, Yuki watched the little loli frantically radiating “praise me” vibes with an aunt-like smile.

But speaking of which, could she reach the stove? Looking at a certain silver-haired little loli with her weak legs walking step by step toward the sofa, Yuki couldn’t help but doubt it…

“I’ll stay for dinner then. Let me call Eiru first—he hasn’t returned to the dorm all night, and I’m a bit worried about him.” Having handled the girl’s situation, Yuki picked up his phone again, preparing to call his buddy to confirm his safety.

Although he said this, Yuki felt he probably couldn’t get through. The call last night had already indicated that his phone was off—it was very likely out of battery. Since he hadn’t returned here or to the dorm, he probably couldn’t find anywhere to charge it…

“Wait! What are you doing?! No! Stop right now!” The little demon lord, who had reached the sofa, immediately became flustered upon hearing his words and hurried to try and stop him.

Quickening her pace, in her urgency, she forgot that her legs were currently very weak. Eventually, she lost balance and stumbled, falling directly onto the sofa.

At the same time, Yuki had already dialed the number on his phone. At the exact moment the little demon lord fell, her phone, which she had placed on the table before bathing, rang, to both of their astonished gazes…
