Demon King – Chapter 887 – Love Rivals Everywhere

Even Yuki had to admit that what Eiru said made perfect sense. If the two of them were not being treated as siblings, there would be no way they could be this close to each other right now.

Thinking about it that way, compared to the pain of having to keep their distance, the grievance of not being able to announce it publicly did not seem like much. Besides, both families had already agreed. Not being able to make it public outside was not really something worth caring about.

“But Lu Brat, it’s exactly because we’re seen as siblings that people think we’re both single… you get what I mean, right?”

“I get it, I get it. It means you can’t cut off other people’s hopes, right? But the main problem here is you, Stupid Yuki. You have no idea how popular you are with girls. Quite a few of them have already come to me asking about you.”

Yuki had always been the school heartthrob level figure at Seventh High. His looks were solid to begin with, and his personality was good too. That head of silver hair added a few more points of handsomeness and mystery. Even though he tended to be aloof toward others, it did not stop plenty of girls from secretly wanting to pursue him.

“So I’ve had a massive headache over this. There were even boys among the love letters you got… Stupid Yuki, you really are… mm? A femme fatale!”

The moment Eiru finished speaking, smack, her little head took a loving blow from Yuki. He knew his girlfriend could be mischievous, but sometimes this unlucky brat really did not speak like a human being.

“Putting aside your weird phrasing, Lu Brat, do you think I don’t get headaches over this too?”

“Right? You know you have tons of pursuers. It’s such a hassle for me to deal with them for you! I don’t want to hurt those girls’ feelings either. Every time it just makes things super awkward for me.”

“Don’t want to hurt their feelings? In situations like that you should just reject them cleanly and decisively for me! Dumb loli!”

Yuki reached out with both hands and started tugging hard at his girlfriend’s elastic little cheeks.

Of course, that was just teasing. Yuki would never think Eiru would actually sell him out like that. This girl might be softhearted, but when it came to important matters she had never dropped the ball. Well, except when it came to her own affairs.

At the very least, Her Majesty the Demon Lord respected other people’s personal wishes. She would never make decisions for someone else on her own. So the kind of outrageous move where she accepted a private meeting invitation on Yuki’s behalf was simply impossible for her.

Even back when she had not fallen for Yuki yet, Eiru would not have made decisions for him. Let alone now, when there was absolutely no way she would hand Yuki over to anyone else.

Without realizing it, Demon Lord Eiru had slowly begun to feel jealousy when it came to Yuki. She herself had no awareness of it, but every time she saw love letters in Yuki’s desk or drawer now, a faint irritation would rise in her heart.

“At most I can help you brush them off. If I go reject them, not only will it hurt their feelings, it won’t even make them give up… this kind of thing can only be handled by you!”

Although the little Demon Lord did not really understand girls, she had at least watched some TV dramas. She had a certain impression that girls could be stubborn in that way.

Of course, that impression was largely thanks to Yunyue. Back then, that girl had been ridiculously persistent in chasing her. So Her Majesty the Demon Lord did not think her words could make those girls give up. It might even earn her the label of a scheming brother-con sister.

“Seriously, Stupid Yuki, your problem is way too troublesome… Look at me, I don’t have this kind of—mm! Why did you hit my head!”

Another chestnut landed on her. When she looked up and saw the hashtag marks practically written across Yuki’s forehead, the little Demon Lord’s eyes were filled with question marks. She could not understand what was going on.

“And you still have the nerve to say that? Do you know how many boys I’ve dealt with for you?”

“Stupid Yuki, stop messing around. How could someone like me possibly have people who like me?” Eiru waved her hand, assuming he was joking.

But then Yuki pressed her cheeks, and under her bewildered gaze, forcibly turned her head straight so she was face to face with his serious expression.

“So I don’t count as a person, is that it? Lu Brat, you really have zero awareness of how cute you are… Do you think many people can actually resist your charm?”

“Don’t be dumb. It’s not like I haven’t gossiped with them before… In our class, that ‘Most Want Her to Be My Girlfriend’ ranking the boys put together, number one was Su Qianmeng.”

As a loli who hung out with boys all day, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was naturally not clueless about this kind of gossip. She had double checked the names on that ranking. Out of the more than twenty girls in the class, she had not seen her own name in the top fifteen.

“I’ve seen the grade ranking too. Qianchen was still number one. I didn’t see my name anywhere near the front either… And besides, I haven’t received a single love letter or confession this semester. That makes it pretty credible!”

The fact that Yunyue actually ranked in the top three on that list had surprised Eiru quite a bit. But thinking about it, Yunyue had always been a school belle type beauty, and there was nothing to criticize about her personality.

Although some rumors had made her unpopular among the girls, those rumors did not circulate in the boys’ circle. It was not strange that she was well liked.

“Lu Brat, Lu Brat… you already know you’re in their circle. Do you think they would dare show you your real ranking to your face?”

Yuki held his forehead. After seeing a certain loli’s actual ranking, his blood pressure had practically exploded.

‘What the hell is this number zero spot? Are you guys all lolicons? My wife is amazing, sure, but suddenly finding out this many people are eyeing her, I can’t keep it together!’

“And as for love letters and confessions, why do you think you didn’t receive any? Because my love rivals are everywhere!”

Yuki kneaded Eiru’s little face to vent his resentment. For this brat, he had somehow ended up with a pile of strange nicknames.

By blocking all of Eiru’s pursuers at the door, Yuki had earned himself the bizarre title of a sister-obsessed big brother among their classmates. The reason this loli had been able to mess around at school all semester without anyone harassing her was because Yuki had scared them all off.

There was even a strange saying circulating among the boys. As the most popular girl in the entire school, pursuing the little Demon Lord naturally required passing the strictest test.

And that harsh test was Yuki. In everyone’s common understanding, if you wanted to pursue Eiru, you first had to pass him, the so called brother in law.

As a result, the harassment on Yuki’s side had doubled instead. A bunch of people tried to curry favor with him, hoping to use that as a breakthrough to chase that mischievous little loli.

It had even escalated to the point where, because there were too many pursuers, chasing the little Demon Lord of Seventh High had somehow become an underground competition within the school.

And a competition had to be fair and square. Trying to bypass Yuki and send love letters directly to Eiru would naturally be seen as cheating, with fairly severe consequences.

Of course, this competition had never had any real result from the very beginning. The winner had long since been decided. Even though Yuki had a headache over this matter all day long, as long as the little Demon Lord could play and fool around at school without worries, it was all worth it.
