Demon King – Chapter 897 – The Little Ghost’s New Clothes

After thinking it over, Xixia felt that the place that could best let the little ghost beside her experience the city atmosphere was still the shopping mall.

“Even though I don’t like shopping… taking you around is fine.”

Supermarkets, phone stores, milk tea shops, all kinds of restaurants… Shang had seen rough ideas of them online before, but seeing these things in person left this guest from who knows what century completely dumbfounded.

“Whoa! Whoa! So much food here! What’s that, so many phones! Can you play games on them?!”

“Watch it. Don’t just stand there staring like an idiot. If someone notices, that wouldn’t be good.”

After being together this long, the Hero Girl had more or less figured out some of this little ghost’s traits. She existed yet did not exist at the same time. It sounded a bit like quantum mechanics. If ordinary people did not meet certain conditions, they simply could not see her.

Only when someone’s gaze focused on Shang, and the longer they stared at her, her figure would slowly appear and become clear before that person or even a camera.

So if someone who did not know saw that situation, they would probably think it was haunted. Though calling it haunted did not seem wrong either.

However, as long as the gaze shifted away midway, or Shang left the line of sight during the process, the problem would be solved. And ordinary people would not be bored enough to stare at empty air, so the chance of her being discovered was actually quite low.

But just in case, Xixia still had to keep the heavyweight beside her moving at all times. Even if passersby probably could not see her, malls had surveillance cameras.

“Heavyweight! Let’s play a game.”

While walking, as they passed a certain shop, the Hero Girl’s expression suddenly changed. She reached out, hugged the little ghost, and covered her eyes with one hand.

“What what? Is it a surprise for me?”

The moment she finished speaking, Shang felt gusts of wind rushing past. Xixia suddenly picked her up and ran.

“Okay, we’re good.”

After running a short distance, the Hero Girl set her down and gently patted her back.

“??? So what happened?”

“Nothing. Let’s keep shopping.”

Glancing at the internet café behind them, Xixia let out a sigh of relief as if she had just escaped a major crisis.

Feeling baffled, the little ghost’s gaze soon locked onto a Lolita clothing store. Her eyes lit up and she immediately floated over.

“They sell clothes here! So many wives inside! What they’re wearing looks so pretty.”

“Don’t call every pretty girl wife… did you forget how you got beaten up by Little Demon Lord?”

However, the little thing did not listen to the warning at all. She drifted into the shop, looking left and right, examining the beautifully dressed girls everywhere, envy filling her heart.

“Wuu. Clothes nowadays are so pretty. But I can only wear this.”

Looking down at her plain white dress that she had worn for ages, the little ghost’s eyes dimmed. But as a ghost, she really could not wear other clothes. She could only stand here and drool over other girls’ outfits.

“Hm? Now that you mention it, I just remembered.”

Being reminded, the Hero Girl recalled something a certain loli had told and entrusted to her not long ago.

“The Demon Lord said you wear only one outfit all day and it’s kinda pitiful, so she asked me to bring you a set.” As she spoke, Xixia reached into her bag and took out a delicate little box.

“Don’t mess with me. I’m a ghost. This outfit stayed on me because it was offered as a sacrifice together with me back then. Even if I can wear clothes while materialized, didn’t you say I’m not allowed to materialize outside?”

“That’s thanks to our all powerful Demon Lord~”

Xixia said with a grin and pulled the little one straight into the fitting room. Even though others could not see her, changing clothes was still better not done out in public.

After all, Shang was a girl, so Eiru could guess this little one’s longing for pretty clothes. After all, even she and Xixia had ultimately fallen under the charm of all kinds of cute skirts.

Considering a ghost’s traits, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had studied for quite a while before finally tinkering up the ability to spiritualize objects. The ice cream Eiya fed her before was one of the results born from that ability.

Once inside the fitting room, Xixia did not immediately let Shang open the box and change into her new clothes. Instead, under the little ghost’s puzzled gaze, she started touching here and checking there as if searching for something.

“What are you doing?”

“Hm? Looking for hidden cameras. The Demon Lord said when entering private fitting rooms you have to be careful. There aren’t many, but you still need to watch out for secretly filming cameras.”

While explaining, after confirming everything once with her eyes and hands, Xixia also took out the pendant on her chest and used the magic Eiru had pre-set inside it to scan for cameras.

As a pure girl who did not even understand what tally marks written on a thigh meant, the Hero Girl in the Demon Lord’s eyes was currently a delicate white lotus that needed heavy protection.

So Eiru taught her everything she could understand about protecting herself, and even stuffed a bunch of miscellaneous spells into her pendant for emergencies like this.

“She really takes good care of you. Aren’t you two sworn rivals?”

“Same to you. She worries about you a lot too. She often asks me about you and sometimes stuffs me with things she prepared for you.”

After confirming there was no problem, Xixia sat on the fitting room chair and opened the box. She was also curious what kind of pretty skirt that black bellied Demon Lord had prepared for this little ghost.

After changing, the happy little ghost spun in circles before the mirror, admiring her current appearance inside it.

“Stop spinning. You look silly. What are you even doing?”

The Hero Girl held her head, looking at the completely empty reflection in the mirror, then at the little ghost happily spinning. She did not know whether to suspect her own eyes or this girl’s brain.

“Wifey wifey, so what am I wearing?! Is it pretty is it pretty?”

“So you freaking can’t see it at all! Then why the hell are you spinning at the mirror! Pfft hahahaha…”

She shouted that complaint, but seeing the outfit on Shang, the Hero Girl could not help laughing.

The little thing, either from excitement or angle issues, had not recognized what she was wearing. But Xixia could see it clearly. When she helped her change earlier, she had been holding in laughter the whole time.

“Super cute, my little maid Shang~ Now you’re a Heavyweight little maid!”

Xixia admired the little ghost in her maid outfit. Sure enough, that Demon Lord was still full of bad ideas.
