Demon King – Chapter 846 – The Protective Demon Lord Is Full of Mischief

“You little brat! Apologize! Who taught you that? Is lifting girls’ skirts supposed to be fun or something?”

Although she hadn’t been exposed, having pressed her skirt down the moment it was lifted, Xixia’s face was still flushed with shame and indignation.

This was a pure-hearted girl who was so restrained in her movements that she constantly worried about whether her stride might cause a wardrobe malfunction. Faced with something like this, how could she possibly keep her composure?

“Who cares about you! You’re so pretty, but you’re this mean! You tomboy! You tigress!”

“Tomboy? Ti-Tigress?”

Having been called this for the first time in her life, Xixia immediately sank into dejection, even if her life had been unusual, she still wanted to properly be a girl, you know?

Because she was still in the stage of working hard to transition from a boy to a normal girl, Xixia cared a lot about her image right now. Being called that by a kid now, did it mean she’d been coming across as terrible all along?

“Don’t overthink it, you’re still pretty cute~ At least in this Monarch’s eyes, you’re a very cute girl~”

The little Demon Lord who had caught up gently patted Xixia’s back, comforting her, cheering her up…

‘Was there really any need to take a bratty kid’s words to heart?’

Come to think of it, it was rather subtle, both were similar cases of transitioning from boy to girl. The loli Demon Lord couldn’t care less about others’ opinions of her (except Yuki’s), while the maiden hero seemed to have lost some of her former thick skin.

Hearing Eiru say this, Xixia’s mood did ease up quite a bit. But recalling the earlier story about a certain Demon Lord and hero, she still had some doubts.

“Demon Lords are naturally predisposed to like heroes, aren’t they? Little Demon Lord, can your evaluation really count as a reference?”

“Hey, my hero is only Stupid Yuki, alright? That thing left behind by that predecessor, the ‘hero’ mentioned in there is an adjective, not a profession!”

As the two were bickering, seemingly upon spotting Xixia grabbing hold of the bratty kid, the irate voice of some middle-aged woman suddenly rang out from not too far away.

“What wild girl is that, grabbing my son? A grown person like you, picking on a little kid? Have you no shame?”

Hearing this voice, Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly remembered something. She approached the bratty kid, placed her hand on top of her own head to measure, then nodded with satisfaction…

“Mhm, shorter than me, definitely a little kid.”

That’s your focus point… Xixia was at a loss for what to say for a moment, while the bratty kid, seeing another pretty sister suddenly appear, also had his eyes light up, his hands starting to get a bit restless again.

But then he disappointedly lowered his head, because he noticed Eiru was wearing a pair of super short hot pants, leaving him with no angle to strike.

“What’s up? Want to lift mine too, you little bastard? If you actually succeeded, your little life wouldn’t be safe, you know? You just dodged a bullet~”

Even if she were wearing a skirt, there was no way she’d let him succeed, alright? Not to mention the gap in reaction speed between them, but even if, just hypothetically, her skirt did get lifted, if Yuki over there saw it, he’d really come over and tear the little bastard apart with his bare hands.

“Take your hand off her, who do you think you are to touch my son?”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman had already rushed over, and without any explanation, started slapping at the hand Xixia had wrapped around the bratty kid.

The little Demon Lord quickly reached out and pulled Xixia’s hand back, helping her evade this malicious attack, even if being hit wouldn’t actually hurt her, she didn’t want her friend to suffer the slightest grievance.

“Little Demon Lord?”

“Don’t panic, now that his mom’s here, he won’t run.”

Just as Her Majesty the Demon Lord said, seeing his protector had arrived, the bratty kid simply stopped trying to run and hid right next to the middle-aged woman, even putting one hand on his hip, his face full of smug satisfaction.

“You need to explain yourself. A grown person like you, bullying a little kid?”

The middle-aged woman initially wanted to direct her criticism at the two girls, but after sizing up the height of that silver-haired loli… figuring this kid probably wasn’t much older than her own son and communicating with her would be pointless, she decisively poured all her power onto the taller girl.

“It was your son running around lifting girls’ skirts! I just wanted an apology, and that girl over there… Huh?”

Trying to find the earlier victim of the bratty kid’s attack, but the other party had already left at some point. Xixia looked left and right but couldn’t find her.

“Running around lifting skirts? He lifted yours? My son is such a good boy, how could he possibly do that… You’re slandering him! Looking for excuses to bully my son, are you?”

“And look at you, wearing a skirt this short, is that proper? Anyone can see you’re not a decent girl, just looking for a fight to bully my son, aren’t you?”

‘My skirt… short? Dressed improperly?’

Xixia was dumbfounded, starting to doubt her own fashion sense, today’s clothes weren’t chosen by her mom but by herself.

‘So my own choices really are problematic? See, I am a boy, not good at this kind of matching thing, am I?’

“No, your clothes are normal and very cute… Bratty kids are spoiled by tiger parents, so you don’t need to take a tiger parent’s words to heart either.”

Sensing Xixia’s thoughts, the little Demon Lord shook her head, slightly rose onto her tiptoes, and leaned her little head close to Xixia’s ear to whisper comfortingly.

A pretty and cute little blazer, a knee-length half skirt, opaque pure white tights paired with a pair of short white leather boots that reached just below the calf… No matter how you looked at it, there was no way it was improper, alright?

At the end of the day, the woman had already prejudged and labeled her, so no matter what you wore, the outcome would be the same. Even if you were wrapped up head to toe, she’d still find a way to call you improper.

“Hey, looks like something’s going on with Lu Brat over there, you really not going to check it out?”

Noticing something seemed to be happening with his childhood friend’s side, Jiaqi from not too far away patted Yuki, who was still immersed in reminiscing.

‘Wake up! Your wife’s getting hassled over there!’

“Hm? Oh… no need, Lu Brat can handle it.”

Taking a look at the situation over there, Yuki could also guess his little girlfriend was helping out the hero girl. Looking at the other side, the typical lineup of tiger parent plus bratty kid… small potatoes, no threat to her at all.

“You serious? Lu Brat, she…”

“Don’t panic, this matter probably has nothing to do with her…”

Since it was Xixia’s matter, Eiru would definitely handle it properly. That’s just the kind of person she was, it was fine if she suffered a little loss herself, but she absolutely wouldn’t agree to the people around her being wronged.

And even if it really did have something to do with her, she could handle this kind of thing too… After all, this should probably count as one of the few things her dad actually properly taught his kids, right?

So the little Demon Lord was actually pretty good at dealing with this kind of tiger parent, let alone this time they’d messed with her friend. Then they couldn’t blame her for being full of mischief, could they?
