Demon King – Chapter 909 – So Hot! The Weather Is So Hot!

“There’s nothing wrong. We’re all adults. We know our limits.”

Accompanied by Yuki, they arrived at Doctor Su Yuze’s place. After listening to Eiru’s somewhat naive reminder, Doctor Su Yuze could only smile helplessly. No matter how smart she was, she was still just a child.

That said, the little girl’s warning was not without reason. So on his end, Doctor Su Yuze had merely organized the orphanage director’s research results and was cautiously exploring on that foundation.

And since Eiru happened to be here today, Doctor Su Yuze brought out the tube of so-called magic solution they had tinkered with, wanting the only person in the world capable of sensing magic power to evaluate their research results.

After briefly observing the reagent, the little Demon Lord let out a sigh of relief. They had only attempted to reconstruct and synthesize that old grandpa’s formula within the realm of chemical elements based on his research findings. There was no way they could actually produce magic power.

It was a huge relief that it was not some kind of human experiment. And in this situation, there was no risk of any accident either. The heavy stone hanging in Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s heart finally dropped. While she was at it, she also explained the characteristics of magic power to them, trying to persuade them to abandon this line of research altogether.

After some persuasion, seeing how strongly the little girl opposed it, Doctor Su Yuze agreed to temporarily shelve the project. But after the two of them left the facility, Yuki voiced his doubts about his little girlfriend’s decision.

“I think if they really achieved something, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for you, Lu Brat, right? Uncle Yuze said their goal was to prepare some backup magic nutrients for you in case of emergencies.”

“That’s why I told you. Magic power isn’t something humans can research or even come into contact with.” The Demon Lord sighed with a bit of a headache and nudged Yuki’s arm with her elbow.

“And as for backup magic nutrients and all that, I already prepared them long ago, okay?”

“Huh? Where? How come I’ve never seen you use them before?”

“Right… here~”

With a small hop, the little Demon Lord jumped in front of Yuki. Turning around, she spoke in an ambiguous tone, her small hand lightly tracing circles on his chest.

“A Demon Lord has all the traits of the demon race, like vampires, succubi, minotaurs and the like. For example, vampires replenish magic by consuming blood. A Demon Lord can also recover magic through similar methods, and the efficiency isn’t any lower than theirs, you know?”

Before Yuki could even ask, Eiru had already explained. But the way it sounded in Yuki’s ears, why did it feel like he was just his girlfriend’s walking blood bag?

“Although that works, you’re not a blood bag~ How should I put it, hmm?”

She tapped her finger against her chin and thought for a moment, then revealed her signature mischievous smirk.

“The day you finally eat me up, you’ll know what’s going on… When that time comes, I’ll properly~ dote on you~ heh.”

The little devil’s slightly seductive voice echoed in his ears. Yuki instantly understood what she was implying. Inevitably, images of a future filled with pain and pleasure flashed through his mind.

He swallowed. For a moment, he did not know whether to look forward to it or chicken out. But seeing his reaction, Eiru had already achieved her goal. Giggling, she turned and ran off.

“Wait a second? Lu Brat! Were you flirting with me just now?!”

“Hehehe~”

In the scorching heat of summer, chasing and playing around on the streets led to a predictable outcome. The silver-haired couple, unable to bear the heat and drenched in sweat, hid in a small alley not far from Yuki’s house to rest.

Why not just go into a convenience store and leech some air conditioning? Because they planned to head straight home. They were just resting for a bit and would leave right after. But aside from that, there was actually a rather dramatic and subtle reason.

“No, it’s too hot, way too hot… I can’t take it. I’m using magic.”

“Isn’t it because you were the one running around? Don’t use magic yet. Just stay still for a while. Calm your mind and you’ll feel cooler.”

“Why do you sound like my mom?” The little Demon Lord rolled her eyes at Yuki. “Every time she won’t let me turn on the air conditioner, she loves saying that.”

“Okay, okay, this is different. What if you use magic over something this small and then a bunch of chaotic magic starts running wild inside you again?”

Trying his best to persuade her earnestly, Yuki said they would be home soon anyway and could enjoy the air conditioning there. For this little bit of time, resting and enduring it would be fine.

“No! This isn’t a small matter! I’m about to melt from the heat! I’m going to use magic to adjust the temperature! And I’ll adjust yours too—mmph?!”

Like a child throwing a tantrum and waving her arms, the little Demon Lord was just about to mobilize her magic when Yuki, sensing trouble, directly placed a hand on the center of her head and held her in place on the spot.

“Oh? I let go~ eh! I press it again!”

Lifting and pressing the hand on Eiru’s reverse scale, like he was repeatedly hitting a pause button on her, no matter how many times he did it, Yuki found it endlessly amusing.

“Alright, that’s enough! Stop playing around!”

Seizing a moment when he loosened his grip, the puffed-up Demon Lord swatted his mischievous hand away and glared at him angrily, looking like she might pounce and bite him the next second.

“I have long hair now, okay? Sweating feels awful! And you’re still bullying me like this, Stupid Yuki. My reverse scale isn’t there for you to bully!”

‘It absolutely is there for me to bully, alright.’

Yuki grumbled inwardly. But seeing that his little girlfriend had fluffed up like an angry cat, he had no choice but to coax her properly.

“Alright, alright. Be good and don’t use magic, okay? How about this? When we came in earlier, I saw a convenience store near the alley entrance. I’ll go buy you an ice cream to help you cool down first. You wait here nicely, okay?”

“Mm… but if you go inside and enjoy the air conditioning, will you even be able to come back out?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord threw him a soul-question. The temptation of an air-conditioned room was not something easily resisted.

If it were her, in this situation, once she stepped into an air-conditioned room, she would probably refuse to leave. That was exactly why neither of them had chosen to go cool off in a convenience store. Once you go in, you are not coming out.

“If I were alone, maybe I wouldn’t. But when I think about you waiting for me outside, I’ll be filled with power!”

“Alright, alright, smooth talker. If you’re buying it, hurry up. I’m melting.” Eiru waved her hand, cutting him off, urging him to hurry.

“And don’t forget to buy one for yourself. If both of us go in, we definitely won’t come back out, so I’m not going with you.”

“Then wait here obediently, okay? Don’t run around.”

“Get lost already! Do you think I’m a three-year-old? In this kind of heat, even kids wouldn’t run around!”

She lightly kicked Yuki in the butt, unceremoniously driving him out of the alley. Watching him run toward the convenience store, she helplessly added another shout.

“Don’t run! Are you trying to heatstroke yourself? Walk slowly. What the hell are you rushing for?!”

After yelling, still suffering under the scorching heat, the little Demon Lord took a few steps back and leaned sideways against the alley wall. One hand fanned herself near her forehead as she obediently waited for Yuki and his ice cream.

However, their earlier interaction had been completely witnessed by several pairs of eyes deep within the alley.

Now, watching the silver-haired loli leaning against the wall with her back facing them, those eyes exchanged silent glances in the darkness, seemingly plotting something.
