Demon King – Chapter 872 – Aeroplane Chess Turned into a Punishment Game

“When was the last time we all played this together?”

“The hot spring trip.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord searched through her memory and gave a definite answer.

That’s right. The four of them had gathered together again, and with nothing better to do, they started playing Aeroplane Chess.

However, this time the seating arrangement was slightly different from last time. It was no longer two girls on one side and two boys on the other.

Each of the two lolis was sitting in the arms of the boy behind her. Who would have thought that the four good friends from back then would now end up paired off into two lovey-dovey little couples like this?

“Ready to roll. This emperor goes first!”

After deciding the order with rock-paper-scissors, Her Majesty the Demon Lord picked up the dice from the side.

Seeing her sister holding that familiar oversized die, about the size of a human head, Eiya immediately recalled some unpleasant memories. Her first reaction was to cover her head with both hands, just in case something came crashing down from above.

“Based on past experience, I sacrifice my tail! In exchange for one clothespin, give me a six!”

‘Your competitiveness in games is really something…’

Yuki silently complained in his heart. But when he saw the number facing up after the die landed, his eyes widened.

“Wait, what?! I was joking! It actually landed on six?!”

Even the little loli herself did not expect things to develop this way. She waved her hands frantically, trying to explain.

But just as Eiru was trying to bargain for her sensitive tail’s survival, a chill crept up her spine. Turning her head, she saw her dear little sister holding a clothespin in her hand, wearing a malicious smile.

“Be good~ It’s just a clothespin. It’s soft. It won’t hurt~”

“Then why do you even have something like that?!”

After a round of chaos, Eiya looked at her sister hugging her tail with a resentful expression. The familiar scene made her burst out laughing. Not just her, the two big boys beside them were also trembling at the shoulders, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

“Next is me, right?”

After Eiru finished her two rolls, Eiya took the die. Just as she was about to throw it, Jiaqi, who was holding her, suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered.

“Little Ya, you have a tail now too, you know?”

Her heart trembled. Her hand shook, and the die slipped right out. It rolled across the floor a few times before a big ‘6’ came into everyone’s sight.

Before Eiru could even get up to avenge that earlier clip, Jiaqi had already swiftly clipped a clothespin onto the hollow heart-shaped cutout at the tip of Eiya’s tail.

The little girl jolted violently like she had been electrocuted, finally experiencing what it felt like for her sister to have her tail bullied all the time.

“Brother Jiaqi!”

“Ah, sorry. My hand moved too fast…”

“What kind of person are you?! Are you just used to bullying me or what?!”

“Yes.”

Jiaqi puffed out his chest, wearing an infuriating expression that practically said I’m honest, praise me.

“You?!”

Although they had made a fuss over it, Eiya did not remove the clothespin from her tail. And after that, the two boys kept clothespins at the ready. A perfectly normal game of Aeroplane Chess suddenly turned into something with a very strange atmosphere.

“Lu Brat, roll a six. Hurry, roll a six.”

“What are you trying to do?”

The little Demon Lord rolled her eyes at Yuki behind her, whose face was practically stamped with the words harboring evil intentions. Although she looked unwilling on the surface, she did not explicitly refuse either.

And then another big ‘6’ appeared in front of them.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord let out a sigh and obediently offered her tail in front of Yuki.

From that moment on, the nature of the game subtly changed. The two boys went from not wanting to lose to desperately hoping the girls would roll sixes every time.

And the two loli sisters went from being competitive to—

‘Please don’t roll a six! I’m begging you!!!’

The number of clothespins on their tails gradually increased. A perfectly good game of Aeroplane Chess had somehow turned into a punishment play session for the two little girls.

But judging by the way the sisters obediently stretched their tails out in front of the boys, combined with the blush on their faces, perhaps on some level, they were enjoying it too.

The game went on for quite a while. Slumped in Yuki’s arms, the little Demon Lord’s body trembled from time to time. Under the assault of who-knows-how-many clothespins, she finally lost the ability to continue playing.

“D-Don’t clip anymore… I can’t play anymore.”

On the opposite side, Eiya curled up in Jiaqi’s arms was not much better. Her two legs covered in white stockings were limp on the floor, twitching slightly. Even the lightest touch to her tail would make her let out a sharp cry.

“Not playing anymore, not playing anymore, Stupid Yuki…”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord gently tugged at the hem of the person behind her. Seeing the pitiful look in her eyes, Yuki immediately understood what his little girlfriend meant.

“Then I’ll take Lu Brat back to the room first.”

Carefully coiling her tail and placing it in her lap, Yuki scooped the little cutie up in a princess carry and used the secret passage to bring her back to her room to handle the aftermath.

After the two left, Jiaqi remained in the room. Looking at Eiya, whose head was resting on his thigh and whose whole body had gone soft and limp, he did not know what to do for a moment.

As a pure and innocent teenage boy, he had not even figured out what state Eiya was in right now.

“Little Ya, now what?”

“Now what your head! W-Wah! I can’t take it anymore… It’s all your fault! You made it so I can’t hold it in anymore!”

Eiya covered her face, breathing heavily. As if she had made some great decision, she spoke in a hesitant, embarrassed voice.

“Go… go get the stuff in the wardrobe… ugh, the stuff in the wardrobe and bring it to me!”

“Huh? Didn’t you say you’d only tell me what’s in the wardrobe after you fell in love with me?”

“Just hurry up and go!”

Though confused, Jiaqi obediently did as he was told. But when he opened the wardrobe, the colorful items inside almost blinded him.

“Little Ya?! What are these?!”

“Waaah! I already told you I’m a bad child!!!”

Blushing furiously, Jiaqi carried the suspicious items over to Eiya’s side. Having never seen a scene like this before, his brain was practically on the verge of overload.

“This… LittleYa, I didn’t expect that in private you actually…”

“Stop talking already! I have no face left! Even my sister doesn’t know about these things… She doesn’t understand this at all. I don’t even dare let her find out.”

Climbing onto the bed and removing the clothespins from her tail one by one, the silver-haired loli felt like she had socially died. She was so aggrieved she was almost about to cry.

But in the next second, she felt herself fall into a warm embrace.

“Don’t say that, LittleYa… The fact that you think these things are proof of being a bad child actually shows that you’re a good child.”

“Hm? Didn’t expect you to be quite smooth with words…”

Jiaqi’s comfort and attitude immediately put Eiya at ease. The air between them seemed to heat up slightly, turning ambiguous.

But suddenly Eiya realized something. That line sounded oddly familiar.

“Wait. Isn’t that exactly what Brother Yuki said to my sister back then?”

“Isn’t it normal to ask him for some experience?” Jiaqi laughed awkwardly after being exposed. “But Little Ya, don’t worry. I won’t dislike you because of this kind of thing. Isn’t it kind of cute?”

“Cute your head! Get out already! What, are you going to help me deal with it?!”

The atmosphere had just turned ambiguous, only to be mercilessly blown away as her childhood sweetheart kicked him out of the room without hesitation.

Standing at the door, Jiaqi scratched his head, completely confused by the development.

‘Why is this script different from Yuki and Lu Brat’s side? Did I mess up somewhere?’
