Demon King – Chapter 843 – Problem Girls Gather Together

“No matter what, I’m a genuine Hero officially certified by the little Demon Lord! You can’t refute that, right?”

Xixia, who had somehow started bickering with Eiya again, suddenly pulled out this magical “official certification,” leaving everyone momentarily at a loss for words.

‘And Senior even said there’s a truly evil Great Demon Lord in this world that I need to defeat—’

Seeing Eiya unable to argue back, Xixia crossed her arms over her chest, her face brimming with confidence and pride.

‘Sure, we all know you’re the real deal. It’s not like we don’t believe that stuff… but the problem is you’re genuinely this chuunibyou!’

Everyone present silently complained in their hearts. After all, this Hero being this dumb wasn’t something new.

“Speaking of which, you actually came as soon as we called this time? Not resisting anymore? Weren’t you practically kicked out of your house before?”

Faced with that question, the Hero girl smiled faintly. The moment she saw that expression, Her Majesty the Demon Lord knew she had asked the wrong thing again.

This unlucky idiot is about to start again!

“Because my parents said that even a Hero, on the journey to defeat the Demon Lord, can’t travel alone. They need to make companions and work together! I think they’re absolutely right, so I ran over!”

‘Good lord.’

To be able to repackage “go make more friends and stop staying cooped up at home” into something like that? Parents who could not only keep up with their daughter’s chuunibyou logic but even prescribe the perfect cure accordingly were truly rare.

“But I’ve never seen a Hero make companions out of the Demon Lord and her relatives,” Eiru complained while holding her head. “You’re supposed to defeat the Demon Lord, and you’re hanging out with her instead. That’s kind of weird, friend.”

“Relatives? Isn’t it close friends?”

“Sigh. This is my wife.” The little Demon Lord tugged on Yuki’s clothes.

“This is my little sister.”

Eiya, who had just been pointed at, mischievously waved at Xixia.

“And this is my brother-in-law…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord pointed at Hui Jiaqi behind Eiya.

“So aren’t these all relatives?”

Listening to that highly questionable statement, Hui Jiaqi, who had just been named, suddenly wanted to say something. But after opening his mouth, he realized he couldn’t actually refute it.

“Huh? All relatives… then what about me?”

So this was a family outing?

‘Then did I just awkwardly wedge myself in here?’

Thinking that, Xixia suddenly felt strangely out of place in this small group.

“So, brave young girl, would you also like to become a relative of me, the Demon Lord?”

Seemingly seeing through her awkwardness, the little Demon Lord suddenly ran over, flashing a mischievous grin as she threw out an even stranger question.

“Huh? Me? A relative?”

Xixia froze. She looked at Yuki first, then turned to glance at Hui Jiaqi holding Eiya. Her brain began to overheat.

“Wait… don’t they both already have girlfriends? You’re not suggesting… No! That’s way too improper!”

Sure, there were Heroes in stories who opened harems, but she was a girl! There was no way she could open some crystal palace of her own.

No one knew what kind of nonsense she had just imagined, but the Hero girl hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

“Hahahaha! Didn’t expect you to be unexpectedly pure! So does that mean you want to find a boyfriend in the future?”

“Huh? Ah?”

Realizing she had been completely led around by this scummy Demon Lord, Xixia’s face instantly turned bright red. Embarrassed and furious, she rushed forward and started tickling Eiru’s sides.

“I don’t! I haven’t even figured it out yet! It’s all my parents’ fault! They should’ve just raised me as a girl properly… Now it’s turned into this and I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do in the future!”

“Hahaha! Stop! Stop! That tickles! Stupid Yuki! Hahahaha… Stupid Yuki, save me!”

The little Demon Lord had initially planned to break free directly. But to her slight horror, she discovered that the Hero girl’s strength was now just as overpowered as her own. Combined with the fact that being tickled and laughing sapped her strength, she genuinely couldn’t escape for the moment.

“Not going to save your wife?”

Seeing Yuki remain unmoved despite the cries for help, Hui Jiaqi nudged him with his elbow, thinking he might not have noticed.

“Huh? No need. Just besties messing around. Nothing serious will happen. Besides, she brought this on herself. A prankster like her deserves a little lesson.”

Though the details were different, the Demon Lord and the Hero in front of them were indeed two unusual problem girls who both lived as boys. In this peculiar aspect, they shared a strange common ground. You could genuinely call them an unconventional pair of besties.

Sitting on Hui Jiaqi’s lap, Eiya suddenly seemed interested as well. She jumped down and ran over to her sister, joining the battlefield.

With the three girls tumbling together, and since Eiya was relatively much weaker in strength, both Eiru and Xixia consciously held back their power.

While the girls gathered on one side, the two boys took the opportunity to sit down and chat about their own topic.

Yes, their own topic. Not a “boy topic.”

Because real boy topics didn’t need to be whispered away from the girls.

The three girls combined couldn’t even make up one normal person. They were all problem girls. When it came to certain topics, not only would they not avoid them, they would eagerly crowd in. Once they started talking, they were even more “authentic” than actual boys.

“So you heard what Lu Brat just said. Hurry up and call me brother-in-law.”

“Call your ass! You just want to take advantage of me!”

Hui Jiaqi barked back, then immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped into the chair. Looking at Eiru being “besieged” by the two girls in the distance, he let out a jealous sigh.

“You and Lu Brat will graduate high school… Anyway, once she’s an adult, you can get married, right? Unlike me, my side’s still pretty shaky… I’m jealous.”

“The way you put it… wait. You know about Lu Brat’s dad?”

“Of course I know. Her mom doesn’t, though. Her dad deliberately kept it from her.” Hui Jiaqi patted Yuki’s shoulder. “I’ve basically been treated as half a son by their family. You think I wouldn’t know about something like that?”

“Damn it! Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

Yes, Hui Jiaqi had already caught wind of the fact that Eiru’s dad supported his daughter’s relationship. The reason he hadn’t told his good brother Yuki was purely because he wanted to mess with him.

“But you don’t need to be so pessimistic either. Since they treat you like half a son, her parents probably won’t be that against you dating Little Eiya.”

And his own parents had even said that if he managed to win Eiya over, they would directly prepare a marital home for the two of them.

No matter how you looked at it, Hui Jiaqi’s side seemed way more stable than his.

“So, Yuki, you’re too naïve… Some things parents say can’t be taken seriously.”

His own parents were clearly joking because they looked down on him. Who knew whether they’d blow up once he actually went and picked someone else’s cabbage?

And precisely because he was treated like half a son by Eiru and Eiya’s family, it would be easy to misunderstand that he was using that relationship to make a move on their daughter.

If this ever became public, Hui Jiaqi felt that the probability of getting jointly criticized by both families was far higher than the probability of receiving their support.
