Demon King – Chapter 904 – You’re Jealous! Go on, be jealous!

“Stupid Yuki, what are you doing?”

Having come back after taking care of some things, the little Demon Lord was lying with her upper body draped over the back of the sofa. Looking at Yuki, who was sitting there fiddling with his phone with a busy expression, she couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Huh? Nothin’, nothing.” Unexpectedly, Yuki showed an uncharacteristically guilty and flustered look, hurriedly putting his phone away.

If Jiaqi were here right now, seeing this scene, he’d definitely know there was a good show to watch, but unfortunately, he was currently having trouble saving himself right now.

Because he’d been too chicken to make a move right up until the end, that certain coward had already been dragged back to his room by his furious childhood sweetheart. What kind of shura field was going on inside, no one else could know…

“Mmm? Like that?”

Tilting her head, Her Majesty the Demon Lord didn’t suspect a thing. Although she was very curious, since Yuki didn’t want her to know, she wouldn’t keep prying.

“But I wonder how Little Ya and him are doing over there. No good show to watch~”

Watching his little girlfriend lazily lying on the sofa, this attitude of not probing further, of absolute trust in him, made Yuki even more guilty…

She was so open about it, and he was acting like a thief. Wasn’t that a bit unfair to her?

Thinking like that, Yuki felt there was no need to hide something like this. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and opened the screen in front of Eiru.

“It’s just, discussing some stuff about the game with my in-game apprentice… She suddenly asked me for advice on something, haha…”

“Oh~ then just talk about it?” The little Demon Lord wasn’t very interested. After casually glancing at Yuki’s phone, she reverted to that lazy posture.

“Not Lu Brat, I’m chatting with someone else, you know?”

“So what? What’s the problem with that?”

The little Demon Lord could vaguely sense what Yuki was trying to express to her, but chatting with other friends wasn’t really a big deal, right? It’s not like you’re saying that just because you’re in a relationship, you can’t interact with anyone else?

“My apprentice is a girl.”

“A girl? That’s nice. Female players are pretty rare in the game you’re playing… Well then, you should take good care of her.”

Although they played a lot of games together, due to differing interests, Eiru and Yuki also had some games they played privately. For example, the one Yuki was talking about now, his dear little girlfriend hadn’t gotten into.

Yuki had originally been hiding it because he was afraid it would make Eiru uncomfortable. But now that he’d come clean, the girl’s carefree attitude was starting to make *him* uncomfortable instead…

‘I’m having a lively chat with another girl here, you know? And you have no reaction at all? Where’s your possessiveness? Show me some!’

“Lu Brat, she’s the first apprentice I ever took in this game. I taught her almost everything myself, single-handedly brought her from a complete noob to a reliable, fixed teammate… We grind dungeons together a lot too.”

While explaining, he was dropping heavy hints. Originally afraid Eiru would get jealous, now Yuki somehow vaguely wanted to see this girl get jealous.

“That’s nice~ A girl apprentice you raised yourself… And then?”

Listening to Yuki’s introduction, the little girl was swaying her head, not only not caring at all, but even urging him to continue the rest of the story.

“Also, I usually give her some in-game items, equipment too… So in the game, she’s pretty dependent on me, sticks to me quite a bit.”

Although the topic sounded a bit like bragging, Yuki’s expression had a strong sense of inner conflict. He was even exaggerating the description a bit.

‘Screw it, I don’t believe you won’t be just a little jealous?’

“Mm hm~ It’s pretty normal to stick to someone who takes care of you, let alone a girl~”

The little Demon Lord propped her chin on her hands, her face still wearing a beaming smile as she got interested.

“Lu Brat, I’m your boyfriend, you know?

Seeing his little girlfriend like this, Yuki really couldn’t hold it in anymore. Too lazy to beat around the bush, he decided to just lay his cards on the table.

“You’re my wife~ So what about it?”

“As your… wife, chatting and playing games with other girls, and you don’t care at all?”

“Nope? It’s just playing a game. Is playing with girls something strange?”

“Never mind, forget it.”

Looking at Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s innocent, guileless eyes, Yuki gave up on his plan.

‘Maybe it was because her thinking was too much like a boy’s, this silly girl just couldn’t be judged by common sense in some areas.’

But Eiru’s next words surprised Yuki. The silver-haired loli’s face still held a smile as she directly exposed the little thought Yuki hadn’t had the heart to say outright.

“Well, I know you want to see me get jealous~ I know those little thoughts of yours, y’know~”

“But if you want me to be jealous, you’ve at least got to come up with something worth being jealous over, right? I know you couldn’t possibly have anything going on with her, so why would I be jealous?”

Because she trusted Yuki way too much, Her Majesty the Demon Lord simply wouldn’t doubt or be suspicious of him over things like this. Even if Yuki really was out shopping or eating with another girl someday, she knew he definitely hadn’t betrayed her…

Back when Yuki and Xueli were caught by Eiru eating together, back when she didn’t know Xueli, the only reason she was upset was because he’d run out without telling her.

To be honest, the little Demon Lord herself was actually curious about what being jealous even felt like. But she trusted Yuki too much, so she’d never experienced that feeling.

“Look, if I were playing games or going out shopping with Stupid Qi or Aunt Mu, would you be upset?”

“I would.”

“Huh?” Eiru was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught on, her little face immediately flushing bright red.

“You’re not playing by the rules! I was just giving an example, it’s not like I’d actually do it… You could at least play along!”

Even giving examples wasn’t okay. Just imagining that scene made my blood pressure spike. Yuki sighed. Unlike his big-hearted loli girlfriend who didn’t want to restrict him, he was quite the jealous type, wishing he could keep her tethered to his side twenty-four hours a day.

—————

On the street, the Hero Girl, who had been searching everywhere for the lost child’s figure, finally spotted that little ghost maid at a certain intersection after a lot of effort.

“Heavyweight! If you run off again, I’ll shout your online name! What are you doing here?”

Running over to Shang’s side, panting heavily, Shixia looked up and found the little one was currently in a daze, her gaze fixed on a certain direction.

“Master~ What place is that over there?”

‘Damn it, you’re really getting into that character role. Suddenly being called that is so uncomfortable…’

Mentally complaining, the Hero Girl looked at the building across the street that her gaze was fixed on.

“Should be the inpatient department of a hospital, right? I think the hospital is behind that… judging by the location, it’s probably the inpatient building, yeah. What about it?”

“Mmm? I just, sensed a familiar aura over there?” Tapping her lips with her finger and muttering softly, Shang couldn’t explain why that building across the way was so attractive to her.

“Master, master, can you take me in to see?”

“Come on? Hospital inpatient departments don’t allow random people. Only visitors are allowed in.”

“Well then, find someone to check-in, and say you’re visiting them?”

‘Listen to yourself. Is that even a human thing to say?’

Translator Note

Hmm? Hospital? Familiar aura? Could it be… uhh.. Who was she again…  The girl whom Eiru saved in the orphanage from her mad grandpa? Yaoyao?
