Demon King – Chapter 847 – Reason Only Works on Those Who Reason

“Little Lu, it’s your first day of school. Be good and listen to the teacher. Try not to cause trouble, alright?”

On the first day Eiru went to elementary school, since she had been living back in Ei Village and wasn’t familiar with anything in the city, Ei Yuan personally walked her to the school gate. He was clearly uneasy, repeating reminder after reminder.

“But you also need your own judgment. Think about what’s right and what’s wrong. Don’t blindly follow others. Consider whether it makes sense before deciding.”

Seven year old Eiru nodded obediently. Back then she was still a good kid who took her parents’ words to heart. Besides, it was her first day of school. Of course she was nervous.

“Dad’s work is getting busy again. I won’t have much time to come check on you and your sister. So you need to learn to take care of yourself, okay? If there’s any problem, tell your mom.”

After talking for a long while, Ei Yuan thought about it and realized what he worried about most was his child getting bullied at school. In other kids’ eyes, Eiru might be seen as some wild country brat from the countryside. The chances of her being excluded or bullied were pretty high.

“If there’s a conflict, try to reason things out with everyone. If it can be discussed, then discuss it more. Dad still hopes that besides Jiaqi, you can make more friends.”

“Then what if they don’t want to discuss it with me?” Eiru blinked her big eyes. “That happened at Grandpa’s place too. They wouldn’t listen and just kept trying to pick on me.”

“Then don’t reason with them,” Ei Yuan said, reaching out to pat his son’s head. “Remember this. Reason is only for those who are willing to reason.”

“If you get bullied, you’re a man. Don’t just take it. People who bully others always pick on the weak. If you fight back and make them afraid, they won’t dare bully you again.”

Following her father’s teaching, although his original intention was to prevent her from being bullied, the result was that starting from elementary school, Eiru had already become a regular troublemaker who often got into fights with classmates.

Fortunately, she never slacked off academically. Her grades were always at the top. And since most of the fights were retaliations, even though she had been warned many times, nothing serious ever happened… other than her parents being called in every few days.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord had a better impression of Ei Yuan than of Liu Wan. One very important reason was the difference in their attitudes whenever she got into a fight and the school called home.

Liu Wan believed in harmony bringing prosperity, so she preferred to calmly negotiate with the other parents. If the fault lay with the other side, she would show willingness to compromise. If the fault lay with Eiru, she would scold her on the spot to demonstrate her stance on discipline.

Ei Yuan was different. He only cared that his child must not be bullied. Perhaps it was a man’s competitiveness, but whenever this kind of situation happened, the first question he would ask his son after arriving was always, “Did you win?”

If the problem was on his son’s side, he would make Eiru apologize immediately and say he would educate her properly afterward. Of course, due to work, that task was usually handed off to Liu Wan.

But if the fault was on the other side, Ei Yuan would not be happy at all. Unlike Liu Wan’s gentle and courteous tone, if the other side was wrong, he would refuse to give an inch and confront them head on. He would definitely stand as his child’s backing and demand justice.

Unfortunately, because Ei Yuan usually didn’t have time, it was almost always Liu Wan who came to school. And perhaps because the teacher wanted to avoid trouble, she also tended to call Liu Wan instead.

Gradually, Her Majesty the Demon Lord chickened out. Out of ten or so fights, Ei Yuan might show up once. Being suppressed by Liu Wan so often made her feel suffocated, so she simply stopped interacting with classmates other than Jiaqi…

When talking to Yuki about her childhood, the little Demon Lord’s face had been filled with resentment. Not only toward her strict mother, but also toward her father who could handle things yet rarely showed up.

Time returned to the present.

After trying to argue with logic and repeatedly getting shut down, swallowing grievance yet unable to out talk the other side, Xixia was both anxious and furious. Her face was already flushed red.

Well, of course. She was originally just a chuunibyou teenager. How could she possibly out argue a middle aged auntie who was famously stubborn? Not to mention one of those unreasonable bear parents.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord shook her head and reached out to pull Xixia behind her. Since this unlucky kid couldn’t handle it, then it was time for me to step in.

“Forget it. We won’t pursue this matter for now. You don’t need to keep pressing…”

Seeing that the other side had no intention of making the child apologize, dragging this out was pointless. So Eiru tossed out a step for them, using it to test their reaction.

“Little Demon Lord, this?”

Xixia had just opened her mouth to say something when the silver-haired loli in front of her turned around, raised a finger to her lips, and blinked at her. Clearly she had another plan.

“What do you mean pressing? What kind of attitude is that? My son was framed by that wild girl behind you! You say you won’t pursue it? We will pursue it!”

As expected.

The little Demon Lord sighed inwardly. She had originally thought that if this auntie was just trying to save face in front of her child, she could give them a step down first and then seek an explanation afterward.

If Xixia herself didn’t want to pursue it, that was fine. But if they wanted someone who did nothing wrong to apologize? Even if this dummy were foolish enough to give in, she, Eiru, would never agree.

“Dummy, let me teach you a lesson today. Reason is for those who reason. When dealing with people who don’t reason, you solve it with methods that don’t reason.”

That sudden line left both Xixia and the auntie stunned. Then, right before their bewildered eyes, Her Majesty the Demon Lord abruptly plopped down on the ground in a duck sitting position, covered her eyes with both hands, and began loudly fake crying.

“Waaah! They’re bullying us! They’re being unreasonable! How can they do this!!!”

A delicate and adorable silver-haired little girl suddenly bursting into loud sobs naturally drew plenty of attention from nearby visitors. As the commotion grew, even the amusement park security was attracted over.

Seeing that enough people had gathered, the little Demon Lord moved to the next step before the auntie could react. She began adding fuel to the fire, describing what had just happened.

“My sister and I came here to play. That little boy suddenly ran over and lifted my sister’s skirt and pulled at my pants… His mom didn’t stop him and even said it was our fault and demanded we apologize… Waaah!”

Her fake crying was extremely convincing. No one would believe such a cute little girl would lie like this in front of everyone. Not to mention she was telling the truth to begin with.

“Did that really happen?”

“That’s shameless. How old are you to bully two little girls like that?”

With one move, public opinion instantly tilted toward the two girls. A group of visitors immediately began criticizing the mother and son. The auntie might be fierce, but she couldn’t argue against a crowd. She was immediately pushed into a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, Yuki sat calmly at the side, sipping tea. Supporting his forehead, he watched his girlfriend’s brilliant performance with helpless amusement…
