Demon King – Chapter 84 – Yuki’s Little Schemes

“Aha haha… Well, of course it was the handsome, dashing, charming big brother Eiru who told me!” The little demon lord scratched her head while laughing it off with her buddy.

She really has no shame… Yuki fell silent. Her reaction made him even more certain of his speculation.

Silently calculating in his mind how to set a trap for her, Yuki was determined to find an opportunity to catch her red handed.

“Forget it, forget it. It’s not really a problem…” Yuki waved his hand to indicate he wouldn’t pursue it further, and the girl across from him immediately looked as if a massive weight was lifted from her shoulders.

For now, it’s better to treat them as two separate people… At least until I catch her in the act, I can’t be completely certain. If I’m wrong, then it would be a huge problem.

And honestly, if the girl across from him was really his best friend, Yuki didn’t know what attitude to take toward her. After all, they’d always been like brothers—honestly, it would be pretty awkward… With their current relationship, saying he suddenly wanted to pursue her wouldn’t be something he’d struggle with, but he had to consider her feelings too, right? Who knows what she’d think?

Even if he caught her red-handed later, Yuki planned to temporarily observe her attitude before making his next move. Besides, he still couldn’t be completely certain…

Yuki listed several possibilities in his mind. Since he was already thinking in this direction, being a bit more imaginative wouldn’t be strange.

If the two of them really were the same person, then it’d be a big deal—he had no reason not to tell him. Either his speculation was wrong and there was no such thing at all, or Eiru was afraid of something…

But what could he be afraid of? Was he afraid of being rejected because he wasn’t human? That was impossible—he’d already shown he could accept it, so something like that didn’t hold any weight.

Maybe he couldn’t control the change? The process of transforming between loli and male states was forced? Maybe that’s why he didn’t tell him.

Did it change randomly? Or did it require meeting certain conditions? After considering several possibilities, Yuki finally formulated a rough plan in his mind…

First and foremost, he needed to find a way to confirm whether these two were actually the same person.

If they weren’t, he’d investigate their relationship to decide whether to play matchmaker or directly pursue the girl.

But if you are the same person… Thinking this, the corners of Yuki’s mouth slightly rose.

First, investigate the conditions for her transformation, and find out why she was hiding it from him. Then he could probe her a bit, confirm what she was thinking, and then…

“Your smile is so disgusting. Can’t you just eat properly?” Seeing him staring at her with a silly grin, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt a chill down her spine.

Although his smile looked fine under the backdrop of his good looks, for some reason, Eiru just felt something was off about it.

“Ah, sorry, sorry.” Being called out like this, Yuki’s smile stiffened and he quickly lowered his head to eat the food on the table.

While shoveling food in his mouth, Yuki continued thinking about the girl’s situation. When he thought about it, he felt both excited and expectant, but also somewhat afraid.

He both hoped that his guess was correct but also somewhat hoped the girl and Eiru weren’t the same person. Right now, he was caught in this contradiction.

He hoped it was true because he knew Eiru well enough. If they got together, they wouldn’t need to start from scratch like with other people—it would be much easier…

But since they’d been like brothers before, honestly, being together would still be somewhat strange. Although Yuki felt he didn’t mind, the girl’s attitude toward him so far left him quite uncertain.

“I’m full… good luck to you.” During his contemplation, the girl suddenly put down her chopsticks and stood up from her chair.

“What? You’re only eating that much?” Looking at the food on the table that had barely decreased, Yuki immediately felt a tremendous pressure—he definitely couldn’t eat all this…

“Mm, so you need to finish everything that’s left. If you dare waste even a bit…” As the girl spoke, Yuki watched in amazement as the metal soup spoon in her hands was easily bent and crumpled into a ball like dough.

“You’ll end up like this thing.”

“I’m going to wash some clothes first. You can eat slowly, no need to rush.” Having intimidated him, the little demon lord casually tossed the metal ball next to Yuki and slowly walked toward the bathroom.

People really can’t be judged by appearances. Despite such a frail little frame… Yuki swallowed hard and tentatively reached out to touch the metal ball on the table.

Although he wanted to dismiss it as a prop, the feeling of the spoon in his hands told him this was definitely not some fake meant to fool people. This girl had really just crumpled a metal soup spoon like it was paper with her bare hands.

Scary, scary. This girl was terrifyingly strong and had potentially violent tendencies. It was better for him to eat his food quickly, else if she got angry, the one getting crumpled into a ball next would probably be him…
