Demon King – Chapter 840 – The Wife Ran Off

For high school students, sleeping in on the weekend was truly a beautiful thing. Waking up naturally and sitting up from bed, Jixian and Ziyu felt absolutely refreshed.

Vaguely, they remembered that a certain couple had been fooling around and showing off their love early in the morning. But when they looked toward Yuki’s bed, they did not see any trace of that silver-haired loli.

“Brother Yuki? Where’s the little princess?”

Looking under the bed only revealed Yuki sitting alone at his desk. The situation left the two of them completely baffled. What the hell? Your wife just vanished like that?

“She ran off… Maybe I played around a bit too much?”

Yuki scratched his head awkwardly. Scaring the loli away like that, maybe he had really bullied her a bit too hard?

“Oh, got it! No dog food today! Nice!”

Ziyu immediately threw his hands up in celebration. Jixian, on the other hand, looked a little concerned.

“Aren’t you going after her to coax her?”

“Coax what? Son, you don’t actually think those two would fight and have conflicts, do you?”

Ziyu smacked Jixian lightly. In his eyes, those two having an argument would be the biggest joke in the world.

“Yeah, I guess? Wait, who the hell are you calling son?”

“Whoever answers is my good son~”

The two on the bed immediately started wrestling again. Yuki shook his head. He had seen this scene too many times already. He barely reacted anymore.

And Ziyu was not wrong. Forget how close the two of them were and how unlikely it was for them to argue. With Eiru’s temper, at least when it came to Yuki, she would never truly get angry at him.

He understood his little girlfriend’s personality better than anyone. But honestly, with her suddenly running off like that, Yuki was still a bit confused.

“Poor Brother Yuki, abandoned by his wife, all alone.”

“Too tragic, too tragic. Brother Yuki has to treat us today. Spend money to vent the pain in his heart…”

“Hey, you two?” The more they talked, the weirder it got. Black lines appeared on Yuki’s face.

“If you’re awake, go brush your teeth already. We’ll head down to eat in a bit…”

“Got it, Brother Yuki’s treating!”

“Treat your ass!”

After the two finished washing up, the three brothers gathered to discuss where to solve lunch.

Such a perfect weekend, eating at the school cafeteria would be a waste. After some discussion, they picked a nearby restaurant with a decent reputation.

But just as they packed up and were about to leave, Yuki’s phone suddenly chimed with a notification. Under his roommates’ curious gazes, he lowered his head to look at the message. His expression changed drastically.

“I’m bailing! Caw caw caw! You two go eat!”

With a bang, the dorm door shut. Yuki threw out that line and bolted, leaving the two roommates standing there in confusion.

“It’s… his wife, right?”

“Who else could it be?”

The message on the phone only contained a simple address and the words “twenty minutes.” But Yuki immediately understood Eiru’s meaning. The moment he left the school gate, he hailed a taxi and rushed straight to the address.

—————

“This is the place, right?”

After arriving at the destination, Yuki looked around but did not spot that cute little figure.

Glancing at the time again, the limit was twenty minutes. He had arrived in fifteen. If she had not arrived yet, that was pretty normal.

So he decided to wait in place. While fiddling with his phone, he looked around at the surroundings. He was honestly curious why Eiru had asked him to meet in the commercial district. That girl did not like going out and rarely went shopping.

He was staring at the shop across the street, thinking, when he suddenly felt something lightly kick his calf. Turning around, he saw a pair of sapphire-like blue eyes staring at him with mild displeasure.

He was just about to say something when the little Demon Lord’s outfit made his eyes light up.

She wore an unbuttoned white shirt as an outer layer. The hem of the shirt reached the side of her knees, accentuating her petite figure, loose and wide like a coat.

Underneath was a black and white striped T-shirt. Opaque black tights paired with ultra-short hot pants, and on her feet were short boots with a bit of a sporty feel.

Her long silver-white hair was tied up, most of it tucked into a small British-style top hat on her head, with only a small portion left outside. It made her look extremely clean and refreshing.

With this casual anime-style outfit, hands in her pockets and slightly bent forward while sizing him up, the little Demon Lord now carried a somewhat androgynous, lively little brat vibe.

“You got here that fast? I clearly gave you such a tight time limit…”

Out of a small desire for revenge from the morning, the time she gave had indeed been a bit deliberately tricky. If Yuki had delayed even a little while changing clothes or packing up, there was no way he would have made it within twenty minutes.

Of course, even if he had been late, Eiru would not have minded. It had only been a small prank. But not only had Yuki arrived on time, he had even arrived early. That was something she had not expected.

“It was just a coincidence. When I got your message, I was already about to head out…”

As he answered, Yuki realized he could not take his eyes off the girl in front of him.

‘Even though it was different from her usual style, I totally get this look too. As expected, my wife looks good in anything.’

“I thought you’d be a bit late, so I went into the shop behind you to browse around first… When I came out, I saw you standing here spacing out.”

She shrugged. Maybe because of this outfit, her mannerisms felt a bit like when she used to act as a boy. Combined with her height, she looked like some arrogant little brat from next door.

Out of nowhere, she pulled out an oversized pair of sunglasses and put them on. After taking her hand out of her shirt pocket, Her Majesty the Demon Lord grabbed the hand of the boy beside her.

“You’re wearing gloves, just like I thought.”

Having guessed it before she even pulled her hand out, Yuki smiled at the cute little black gloves on her hands.

“Of course. Didn’t I tell you my hands are sensitive?”

She rolled her eyes at him. Then she suddenly remembered he had said he was about to head out before receiving her message. Had she interrupted his original plans?

“You said you were heading out. Where were you going?”

“Ah, it’s nothing. I was just going to eat with those two… Since you suddenly ran off without saying anything, I thought you weren’t coming back today.”

“Isn’t that your fault?” She lightly kicked his leg again. “After what you did this morning, I had to change clothes, okay?”

“And you know why I asked you out, right? I shouldn’t have to spell it out, right?”

“No, I don’t~ Please let my cute Lu Brat say it clearly~”

Seeing the wicked smile on Yuki’s face, the Demon Lord knew he was playing dumb. Annoyed, she opened her mouth to say something, but her delicate little face suddenly flushed red, and she swallowed her words back down.

“Ugh… Anyway… I don’t know when I might turn back into that emotionless state again… So while I’m still normal, I just wanted…”

Just a moment ago she had looked displeased and cocky. Now she was suddenly acting shy, completely like a bashful little girl.

“You wanted to go on a date?”

Yuki’s response was a heavy kick to his calf.
