Demon King – Chapter 861 – The Big BOSS Looks a Bit Off

“By the way, Sis, you used to get into fights all the time and made Mom and Dad get called over… have you ever been to the principal’s office?”

As a well behaved, top of the class good kid, Eiya had at most only ever been to places like the teachers’ office. Not just her. In the eyes of many students, somewhere like the principal’s office was supposed to be a mysterious location that only bad students ever set foot in.

“Hm? Actually, the most I’ve ever done is report to the dean’s office… like the grade dean or the discipline director.”

After thinking back, Her Majesty the Demon Lord realized that even a problem student like her had apparently never actually visited a place like the principal’s office.

“What about you, Dummy?”

“I don’t break school rules! And the most I’ve done is go to the grade dean too…”

Suddenly being asked that, Xixia bristled, not quite understanding what kind of image she had in the eyes of this loli Demon Lord.

“Weren’t you charging around everywhere with bread before?”

“That’s ancient history! Do not bring it up again! The current me doesn’t need bread to fight anymore!”

“So you did need it before?”

While teasing the hero girl together, the three of them kept moving toward their destination. Before long, Eiru suddenly found the surrounding scenery looking a little familiar. The gust of cold wind that swept past made her realize something as well.

“The ghost’s about to show up. You two turn your heads away.”

The little Demon Lord, who had been standing between them, gave a warning while switching places with her younger sister. Sheltered beneath her wings, the two girls obediently shifted their gazes toward the window.

A large hand suddenly stretched out. It was immediately blocked by a hand from Her Majesty the Demon Lord. Along with the rest of its body, the thing was directly flung out in one smooth motion.

She did not even glance at the fierce ghost the entire time. Not because she was trying to act cool. It was purely because the thing was too horrifying to look at. She did not want to see it and end up having nightmares at night.

The fierce ghost, once again sprawled on the ground, stared blankly at the ceiling. A trace of confusion flickered within its crimson, ferocious pupils. After being humiliated for the second time, it suddenly began to doubt its ghostly existence.

The troublesome part was that the space within this campus was completely chaotic. You could walk up one floor from the first floor and inexplicably end up on the third floor. Then if you went up from the fifth floor, you might somehow return to the first.

Even within the same floor, the corridors, classrooms, and rooms were all scrambled. If you went from the stairwell on the second floor toward the restroom at the end of the hallway, you might pass by an office that should have been on the third floor corridor halfway through.

This bizarre situation caused the three girls no small amount of trouble. It took them quite a long time before they finally arrived outside the principal’s office.

“Good thing this hellhole isn’t twisted to the point where the space behind doors is scrambled too…”

Eiru muttered softly with one hand resting on the doorknob.

At least the door was not playing tricks on them. Whatever room it was supposed to be led to what it was supposed to be. If it had been like some horror movie she once watched where every door opened to a random location, the three of them really would have broken down.

Now that they had reached their destination, what kind of scene would be waiting behind the door? Eiru could not help swallowing nervously, imagining what kind of Big BOSS might be sitting inside.

Under the equally tense gazes of the two girls behind her, Her Majesty the Demon Lord gently twisted the doorknob.

And found that it would not budge.

A few question marks seemed to pop up above her head. Looking down, Eiru was instantly blinded by the utterly mismatched aesthetic in front of her.

‘What the hell. Why would an old, timeworn wooden door like this be fitted with a modern electronic keypad lock? Was this some kind of post modern retro? This door probably was not even as sturdy as the lock itself.’

While complaining wildly in her heart and considering the risks of breaking the door down by force, Eiru could only grit her teeth and clock in for some overtime. She began using her magic to crack the keypad.

Originally, the proper process for this hellish place was to search all over the campus for clues to the password that would unlock the principal’s office door. But unfortunately for the system, there was a cheat level Demon Lord here. This three person squad had directly started engaging in what the game administrator would call blatant cheating.

“0, 7, 1, 6… Why does this number look so familiar?”

As long as it was an electronic device, nothing could stump Her Majesty the Demon Lord. It did not take long before the door lock was cracked. It was just that this string of numbers gave the loli a strong sense of déjà vu.

She applied force to the handle again. This time it turned.

After signaling the two girls behind her not to stray too far, and setting up every protective measure with her magic, the little Demon Lord gently pushed open the old wooden door in front of her.

The battered wooden door creaked loudly as it moved. Hearing that noise, the loli knew their plan to sneak in quietly was ruined. So she simply went all in, shoved the door wide open, and spread a faint blue protective barrier in front of herself.

Holding her hands out in front to maintain the barrier, the three girls looked inside.

What they saw was nothing more than an entirely ordinary office.

A desk. A small reception table. Several little chairs. A large bookshelf.

Everything inside looked extremely old, but there did not seem to be anything abnormal. Except that it was unbelievably clean, as if someone had been regularly tidying it.

There was nothing at all.

The little Demon Lord suddenly felt like an idiot for being so cautious. She was still standing there posing like some chuunibyou in front of thin air. Realizing that, her small face instantly flushed red.

“What the hell! All that work for nothing!”

As if venting her frustration, Eiru entered the room with the two girls and kicked a disposable plastic cup that had been carelessly tossed onto the floor.

With her rough movement, the water inside the cup, seemingly only half drunk, spilled out and soaked a patch of the floor.

Wait. Half drunk…

Seeing that, the little Demon Lord seemed to realize something. At the same time, beneath the desk where the girls could not see, there came a creaking, scraping sound, like something was being moved.

“Wah!”

Immediately pulling Eiya and Xixia behind her, Eiru once again struck that pose with her hands extended, spreading the protective barrier.

Then, under their horrified gazes, something slowly emerged from beneath the desk.

“Hm? Guests? This is the first time I’ve had any…” A somewhat lazy yet childish voice sounded.

A small silver white head popped out from under the desk.

“Hm? I don’t really have anything to treat you with. Just sit wherever…”

The white haired girl who had suddenly appeared rubbed her sleepy eyes. After glancing at the three guests in front of her, she propped herself up against the desk and slowly stood.

Only after she stood straight did Eiru and the others realize that the girl was not even as tall as the pair of loli sisters in front of her. Judging by that, this child was probably only around one point two meters tall.

‘Hm. If Little Ya and I count as lolis, then what would she be…’

While thinking something strange in her heart, Her Majesty the Demon Lord did not relax her guard. You cannot judge a person by appearance. Anyone able to stay in a place like this hellhole would absolutely not be some harmless cutie no matter how adorable she looked.

“My name is… hm? I forgot what my name is too. You can just call me Shang? I’m so sleepy. I’ll sleep a bit more~”

After tossing out that inexplicable sentence, the tiny white haired girl flopped down onto the desk with a soft smack.

And the desk collapsed.
