Demon King – Chapter 885 – The Hero Girl Raising a Kid

Wiping the nonexistent sweat from her forehead and watching the junior beside her start chatting with Su Qianchen, Her Majesty the Demon Lord finally managed to muddle her way through that troublesome question.

“Mm-hm, Little Demon Lord~”

A familiar voice rang out beside her. Eiru turned her head and, sure enough, saw the half-smiling face of a certain Hero girl.

“Yo, dummy… Getting used to wearing the school uniform skirt?”

Looking at Xixia, who was also dressed in the same small blazer, short skirt, and black stockings, the Demon Lord couldn’t resist teasing her a couple of times.

“It’s fine. But tights are still more comfortable… I don’t have your skill to pull off over-the-knee socks.”

“Well then, since you popped out, you were the one who sent him over to mess with me, right? If I weren’t familiar with Qianchen and the others, I really would’ve been screwed by you.”

“More or less~ But don’t call it messing with you, that sounds awful.”

Xixia shrugged. Getting a classmate to come ask Eiru questions had really been a last resort for her.

“His girlfriend didn’t want to ask about that stuff herself, so she handed it to him. Then he’s not exactly good at chatting with the girls in our class, and since he knows I’ve had some interaction with ‘Senior,’ he asked me to help.”

Unlike a certain loli, Xixia had genuinely lived among her classmates as a boy before. That special background gave her a subtle position in the class. You could say she acted as a middle communication line between the boys and girls.

“Well, that’s pretty good. You get along with both boys and girls, don’t you, Dummy?”

“I can talk to them, that’s all. But in the end they still think I’m kind of weird. Honestly, it’s more relaxing hanging out with you and the others, Little Demon Lord.”

‘Well, you used to be a hardcore chuunibyou.’

Eiru complained silently in her heart, not surprised at all by Xixia’s current situation.

Although the chuunibyou tendencies were still there, they weren’t as outrageous as before. The reason was probably that back then, the Hero girl’s brain hadn’t been working properly, and she couldn’t tell what would inconvenience other people.

“But speaking of which, Little Demon Lord, I remember you don’t really click with girls?”

“Yeah. So I usually hang out with the boys.”

The Demon Lord nodded. Even though she had grown much closer with her classmates this semester, old habits made her still prefer messing around with the boys.

Aside from Yunyue and the Su Qianmeng and Su Qianchen twins, who purely treated her like a younger sister and looked after her, as someone who had once been a boy, the Little Demon Lord truly couldn’t handle the other girls in class wanting to hug her and dote on her enthusiastically.

And she didn’t understand girl topics either. When she mixed in with them, she really couldn’t say much. But if she was with the boys, there were endless common topics.

When the boys gathered together, Her Majesty the Demon Lord would naturally blend right in. She did it so smoothly that most of the time, the boys in class would forget she was actually a girl.

Besides chatting, there was egging each other on, playing paper racing cars, showing off new figures and toys, ordering takeout together… She could join in any topic or activity. Naturally, her classmates were more than happy to have such a tomboy loli around. Most of the time, they really did treat her like a goofy bro.

But at the end of the day, she was still a little girl. Tagging along with the boys like that did create some problems, and it had started giving Yuki headaches.

Although Eiru now was better at protecting herself than before, she only guarded against malicious intentions or deliberate groping. As for accidental brushes, you couldn’t expect this girl to truly take them to heart.

Being a reasonable person, Yuki wouldn’t interfere with his little girlfriend’s social life out of selfishness. Not to mention, it was he who had helped her build bridges with their classmates in the first place.

But as the Demon Lord liked to tease him, Yuki really was a walking little vinegar king. If other boys had physical contact with her, even unintentionally, he absolutely wouldn’t accept it.

And yet this unlucky girl dove into the pile of boys every day. In that situation, getting bumped into was inevitable.

Left with no choice, Yuki had to drop his usual cold and aloof image and dive in with his little treasure.

The moment Eiru showed any sign of squeezing into the group, the white-haired “male mom” would prepare in advance, instantly transforming into a large human coat. While accompanying her into the boys’ circle, he would directly pull her into his arms, completely separating the little treasure in his embrace from the other boys.

It felt a bit strange at first, but over time, the class got used to the sight.

And honestly, if they really let that silver-haired loli drill into the middle of them, the boys themselves would feel awkward and restrained. So Yuki’s move actually allowed Eiru to blend into the boys’ circle even more naturally.

“By the way, how’s Heavyweight been lately? She hasn’t been coming to school with you these past few days, has she?”

Changing the topic, the Little Demon Lord leaned forward and looked at the air behind the Hero girl, not spotting the white-haired ghost loli anywhere.

After that incident, Eiru had considered bringing Shang home to look after her. But unexpectedly, that girl had taken a liking to Xixia’s house and simply refused to leave.

Who knew. Compared to the Demon Lord she understood relatively well, the white-haired ghost cub might have been more interested in the mysterious Hero girl in her eyes. Or maybe, after consecutively getting crushed by two Demon Lords, the little one who was used to bullying weaker opponents had developed some psychological shadow.

At first, Shang had clamored every day for Xixia to bring her to school to play. But once she came, she would wander around everywhere causing trouble. If not for a certain Demon Lord cleaning up after her, Seventh High really would’ve ended up with a daytime haunting rumor.

“She… Sigh, she’s done for, totally done for. Her eyes have already been dazzled by the colorful mortal world.”

Shaking her head, Xixia even felt that letting that unlucky ghost out had been a mistake. It hadn’t been long, and that country bumpkin of a girl had already learned how to surf the internet, completely turning into an otaku loli.

“She’s probably watching TV right now. Since she kept fighting me for my computer and phone, I got her internet TV on-demand. Now she just stays at my house watching horror movies every day.”

“And by the way, she only watches the ones with ghosts and monsters. She won’t watch crime movies at all.”

Watching alone would’ve been fine. But that unlucky kid dragged the ghost-fearing Xixia to watch with her every day. Every time the Hero girl heard the brat next to her pointing at vicious ghosts and demons on screen and calling them cuties, she felt goosebumps all over.

“But her being like this now isn’t so bad, right? She basically doesn’t cause you trouble anymore. Feels like she’s a lot more well-behaved now~”

“True… Anyway, if she acts up now, I just smack her butt. Sometimes I really feel like I’ve entered the parenting stage ahead of schedule…”
