Demon King – Chapter 839 – Clear Roles of Attacker and Receiver

When the first ray of morning sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains and landed on his face, Yuki frowned. The glaring brightness made him uncomfortable.

Anyone who has gone to high school knows that if you can see sunlight while lying in bed in the morning, it means one thing. There is no class today.

Realizing it was the weekend, Yuki rubbed his eyes and prepared to catch a bit more sleep. Lying on his back facing the ceiling, he instinctively reached out to hug the girl beside him, only to find that he was hugging nothing but air.

Opening his eyes in confusion, Yuki nearly jumped in fright.

A pair of deep blue eyes was directly above his head, staring straight down at him.

“You’re awake?”

Straddling Yuki’s stomach, the little Demon Lord sized up the person beneath her. After a moment, she reached out and pinched his nose.

“Are you trying to scare me to death? It’s early in the morning. Why are you up so early instead of sleeping? Go back to sleep for a bit.”

Yuki stretched and was about to sit up when he suddenly sensed something off. After realizing what it was, joy immediately spread across his face.

“Lu Brat? You recovered?!”

“Sort of. Temporarily~”

Pinching his nose was not enough. Seeing that the person beneath her was fully awake, Her Majesty the Demon Lord mischievously used both hands to start tugging at his cheeks.

“What do you mean temporarily… Don’t tell me there’s still a problem?” Yuki was speechless. Was this thing going to relapse or something?

“Like an old-fashioned TV? Before it’s fully repaired, when the screen gets all static you can smack it and it’ll temporarily go back to normal, but after a while it gets static again?”

After thinking for a bit, the little Demon Lord used a strange example to describe her condition. In short, it was not completely fixed yet. It would relapse from time to time.

“By the way, do you know why you lost your emotions?”

“I don’t know…”

Yuki went quiet. Then again, it made sense. Subconscious matters were not something the person involved could remember. Anyway, the problem was mostly resolved. Whether she remembered or not did not make much difference.

“Hm? Looking at your expression… so you know why?”

Noticing the change in Yuki’s face, the Demon Lord immediately realized something.

Eiru could vaguely sense that something had happened to her, otherwise she would not have prepared so many protective measures for Yuki.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed the pendant she had given him that hung around his neck. After lowering her head to confirm something, the cute little face of the Demon Lord immediately darkened.

“It’s been used. So… you entered my dream?”

“Mm… yeah.” Yuki answered without hesitation.

The next second, the ear of the boy beneath her was twisted by his girlfriend who was still straddling him.

“Are you tired of living? What did I tell you? Do you know how dangerous mine is? If I hadn’t prepared that for you, you wouldn’t have come back. Do you think you’re brave or something?”

“Ow ow ow! Wife! Wife, that hurts!”

“Can you two stop flirting and fighting this early in the morning…”

“Yeah… it’s the weekend… let people sleep a bit…”

Two weak voices came from the other beds. The little Demon Lord immediately lowered her voice and waved her hand to set up a soundproof barrier before continuing to settle accounts with the person beneath her.

“What did I tell you that day? Do you know how dangerous mine is? I guessed you’d find a way to sneak in. Good thing I made safety measures in advance…”

“This is the first time I’ve seen you this angry, wife. Are you worried about me? I feel so mo—ah! It hurts! My ear’s going to fall off!”

“Still talking back?” The Demon Lord wore an extremely kind smile. “Do you know how worried I was? If something had happened to you, I…”

“I was the same… I was afraid something would happen to you too…”

“Eh?”

Looking at the girl frozen on top of him, Yuki reached up and gently stroked her silky silver hair.

‘Honestly, you’re the one who makes me worry more all the time. Now you understand how I felt back then?’

“Look at yourself usually. You don’t cherish yourself, you love stirring up trouble, and when something happens you always carry it alone. If something happened to you, I’d be scared to death too, okay? Now do you get it? Why I always tell you to take good care of yourself? Because you’re the most precious treasure in this world to me.”

“Ugh… don’t say sweet stuff like that right now. I’m supposed to be scolding you…”

Letting go of his ear, the little Demon Lord placed both hands on his chest. Puffing out her cheeks, her blushing face looked especially cute and amusing in Yuki’s eyes.

“It’s not just sweet talk, right? I’m scolding you too. If you want to lecture me about this kind of thing, you better set an example yourself, okay?”

‘Why did this suddenly turn into me getting lectured?’

The Demon Lord felt aggrieved. She had clearly been the one scolding him. How did she suddenly become the passive one again?

‘No, I have to straighten up. I can’t let Stupid Yuki lead me by the nose. This round should be mine—’

‘Huh?!’

Just as Her Majesty the Demon Lord was thinking about reclaiming control of the conversation, Yuki suddenly sat up, wrapped his arms around her, and flipped her over, pressing her beneath him.

“Caught an opening. Lu Brat, you let your guard down.”

“Don’t forget I’m the Demon Lord!”

Even though she had suddenly been pinned down, the little Demon Lord was not flustered at all. The gap in their combat strength was enormous. As long as she got a bit serious—

“Wait! You’re attacking weak points again?! Stop! I’m the one lecturing you! Stupid Yuki, you can’t—mmph~”

The moment Yuki’s hands wandered to certain sensitive spots on her body, the calm smile on Eiru’s face disappeared. Having long since seen through her thoughts, how could Yuki possibly give her a chance to turn the tables?

So even with the huge gap in combat power, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was still completely restrained by him. Facts proved that at least in front of Yuki, she could only forever be the receiver.

“So, Lu Brat~ will you protect yourself properly from now on?”

Yuki grinned wickedly. In an instant, their usual attacker and receiver positions were restored.

“Obviously… I was the one lecturing you—mm~”

“So will you?” As he pressed for an answer, his hands once again began making mischief.

“I will! I will! Stop rubbing, not now!”

“But Lu Brat, just protecting yourself isn’t enough.”

“What else do you want from me…”

The little Demon Lord’s voice carried a hint of tears. Why did she get subdued so inexplicably again?

“In the future, if something happens, you’re not allowed to carry it alone. You have to come to me. Don’t be afraid of troubling me. Got it?”

“What? Shouldn’t you handle your own matters yourse—ah! Don’t rub! Don’t rub! I’ll listen! I’ll listen to you, Stupid Yuki! I’ll be good!”

“Such a good girl~ Then let me give my dear wife a little reward~”

Even though he had gotten his answer, Yuki clearly had no intention of letting the mischievous loli in his arms off so easily. His hands once again grew restless.

“I’m your husband… wait? Reward? Stop… stop your hands! You just want to bully me, don’t you?! Ah! No! Spare me!”

The new day had only just begun, and Her Majesty the Demon Lord was already limp on the bed, declaring defeat under Yuki’s assault.
