Demon King – Chapter 841 – The Demon Lord Who Doesn’t Understand Romance

So-called dating is basically strolling around, going to the amusement park or the zoo together, or watching a movie or something like that. What you do specifically isn’t important. What matters is that the two of you are together.

But who exactly is Her Majesty the Demon Lord?

In Yuki’s words, this unlucky brat spends every single day chasing after all kinds of thrills just to kill boredom. If she doesn’t force herself to calm down and think for a bit, she wouldn’t even know what counts as normal.

“So our date… is catching thieves and grabbing those little punks who collect protection fees?”

Watching Eiru casually plant her foot on yet another unlucky guy and pin him against the wall, Yuki held his forehead.

Though from the very beginning, he hadn’t really expected his girlfriend to come up with anything remotely normal or romantic anyway.

The reason she dragged him to the commercial district was because this area had relatively more pickpockets. And after that, they ran into a nearby alley. Since there was a private middle school right next to it, there were naturally quite a few punks inside who treated the students like walking wallets and charged protection fees.

“What are you talking about? Maintaining public order is everyone’s responsibility. And besides, this is helping Daddy reduce his workload, okay?”

The little Demon Lord turned around with a bright grin. Without even looking back, she caught the hand that tried to sneak up on her from behind. With a slight press on a couple of spots along the arm, she numbed the punk’s hand completely without actually injuring him.

“Playing hero, huh? I think you’re just itching for a fight.”

Yuki complained about this loli who looked suspiciously like a delinquent girl. It wasn’t his first time seeing her fight. Though this was the first time seeing her in loli form, and the viewing experience was… pretty unique.

At least now he understood why she had unusually worn shorts today.

She had clearly come prepared to fight from the start. With how she kept jumping up to throw flying kicks, if she’d worn a skirt, she would have flashed who knows how many times already.

Well, at least she knew how to avoid wardrobe malfunctions.

Though knowing her personality, it was probably more that she found skirts inconvenient. Yeah. That sounded more like her.

“Lu Brat…”

“Alright, alright, I’ll take you somewhere fun.”

Seeing Yuki hesitate like he wanted to say something but held back, the little Demon Lord trotted over and hooked her arm around his.

Her expression, which had just been that of a domineering delinquent girl, instantly turned into that of a coquettish little girl. The sharp contrast left the group of punks sprawled on the ground staring in a daze.

“Where to, where to? Does Stupid Yuki have any good ideas?”

“Wasn’t today your plan?! You were the one who asked me out!”

“Then let’s go eat—ah! Why did you hit me again?!”

“All you think about is driving all day.” Yuki rubbed his fist. “After all this time, who doesn’t know what’s inside that little brain of yours?”

“Hm? Rare opportunity. You’re really not going to eat me? Otherwise after a while I’ll go back to that emotionless puppet state again.”

“Be serious!”

“Okay, okay… but I really don’t know where to go.”

Seeing that Yuki was a bit unhappy, the little Demon Lord quickly restrained herself. But when it came to planning date locations and stuff like that, she genuinely wasn’t good at it.

If she got serious, Her Majesty the Demon Lord could absolutely arrange a perfect plan. But she was too used to acting on impulse. Her brain needed some warm-up time before it would properly start running.

If it wasn’t necessary, she would absolutely not use her brain. Most of the time, like now, she preferred to toss the problem onto Yuki and let him decide.

So in a way, had he spoiled her rotten?

“You… don’t have anywhere you actually want to go?”

“Hm… as long as I’m with you, it doesn’t really matter where we go, right?”

Eiru tilted her head. Right now, she just liked staying by Yuki’s side. Everything else wasn’t important.

“But if I have to pick somewhere!”

The little Demon Lord suddenly remembered something. She pulled out her phone, opened the navigation map, and pointed at a strange location that Yuki didn’t recognize, starting to explain.

“Here. Right, if you go around this way there’s an alley. Follow it all the way to the end and there’s an abandoned storage room!”

“And?” Yuki frowned. He already had a bad feeling about this.

“Near Seventh High, the three main punk gangs. The smallest one, the ‘Demon Lord Gang’… hm? Sounds a bit chuunibyou? Anyway, their base, or the place they usually gather, is right here!”

“You’re not done fighting yet?! We’re on a date! Since when did you turn into a battle maniac?! And why do you know so much about these punks?!”

“Because before, I played the long game to catch a big fish. I pretended to be weak and got captured by them. Then when they brought me to their base, I happily beat them up.”

She tapped her lips with a finger while saying something that made one’s blood pressure spike. But what Yuki didn’t expect was that something even more ridiculous came next.

“That day I was probably dressed kind of like a delinquent? After I beat them into submission, they unilaterally started calling me Big Sis. It sounded a bit weird, but kind of pleasant?”

‘Wait.’

‘With this development… that rumor about Eiru unifying the surrounding punk gangs. Don’t tell me that thing was actually true?’

The corner of Yuki’s mouth twitched.

‘My obedient baby loli somehow grew crooked and turned into a delinquent gang leader. What do I do? Waiting online. Very urgent.’

“As if. I never hung out with them, okay?” The little Demon Lord rolled her eyes. “I told you, it was one-sided. I never acknowledged it.”

For one, she had never truly hurt anyone. For another, she wouldn’t attack people casually. Even if they were punks, unless she caught them in the act, she wouldn’t be bored enough to go looking for trouble.

“Then why are you dragging me over there?”

“Isn’t dating about showing off affection? I’ll find you an audience so we can sprinkle some dog food…”

“No need! Lu Brat, you really have nothing to do with the word romance!”

—————

Under Yuki’s strong insistence, the little Demon Lord reconsidered the date plan. After thinking about various novel and anime scenes she’d seen before, she finally settled on one option.

The haunted house.

“This is your definition of romance?”

“Yeah. If I get scared and shrink into your arms, isn’t that the kind of development you’re hoping for?”

Facing those innocent eyes, Yuki helplessly covered his face.

Right. In this regard, her thought process was no different from a straight guy’s. She wasn’t like a normal girl at all.

“Fine, let’s say I understand that… but tell me, why did you call the three of them too?!”

Pointing at the trio beside them striking mysterious poses, Yuki really had the urge to crack open Eiru’s little head and see what kind of structure was inside.

“You’re not scared of this stuff, Stupid Yuki. If I get scared alone, that’s embarrassing. Of course I need people around my level to boost my courage. At least there’ll be someone to cushion the fall. If it’s embarrassing, it can’t just be me!”

You literally just said you’d shrink into my arms…

Yuki didn’t even want to complain anymore. A perfectly good two-person world ruined. Did this unlucky brat even know what a date was?

“Don’t panic. The Hero will repel all ghosts and monsters. So Demon Lord and Demon Lord’s little sister, I will protect—”

““No need! A man protects his own wife!””

The two boys directly cut Xixia off, each pulling their own silver-haired loli into their arms.

“Uh… didn’t you say you called me to boost courage?”

Still holding that strange pose, the Hero girl looked completely dumbfounded after being shouted down.

‘So today… Did I just come here to eat dog food again?’

Translator Note

Uh, so, this hero girl… isn’t she basically the female version of Ziyu?
