Demon King – Chapter 910 – Is a Reverse Scale Really a Reverse Scale?

“So I’m saying, there’s no point in skulking around like that. Why not hurry up and come out?”

They were not some professionally trained experts who knew how to hide themselves. For the little Demon Lord to notice those gazes secretly observing her was hardly a difficult task.

The reason she had let Yuki go buy ice cream instead of going herself was precisely because she had already sensed these little rats hiding in the dark. And as her words fell, several figures stepped out from the concealed corners of the alley.

“Oh, it’s you guys…”

Leaning sideways against the wall, Eiru half turned her head and glanced at them from the corner of her eye. Her pupils widened slightly, as if she had recognized who they were.

“Huh? You actually remember us? I thought…”

“Wait, who are you?”

The words that had just reached their throats got stuck there. They had assumed this violent silver-haired loli had recognized them, but now the few delinquent-looking guys had no idea how to introduce themselves.

They were indeed hooligans. Since they had crossed paths before, Her Majesty the Demon Lord only needed to search her memory a little to recognize them. She recognized them, yes, but that did not mean she actually knew who they were.

“It’s really hot today, so I don’t feel like fighting. I’ll give you a chance to run now. Otherwise, once I finish my ice cream and cool down, you’re going to be in trouble, okay?”

She turned her head back, no longer looking at them, still leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest, not taking these little thugs seriously at all.

The scene, paired with that arrogant tone, somehow made it feel like compared to those hooligans, this silver-haired loli looked even more like a delinquent girl.

The thugs looked at each other, seemingly wanting to do something but still wary of this certain loli’s terrifying combat ability. After hesitating for a long time, the one hiding at the back with orange-highlighted hair, dressed in full delinquent fashion, finally stepped forward, saying he could not stand this arrogant brat anymore.

Even the strongest people have their weaknesses. We saw your interaction with that punk just now…

‘The top of your head, right? As long as we press it, you’ll obediently submit!’

New grudges and old grudges together. The thugs were eager to give Eiru a lesson she would never forget.

The one who stepped up quickly moved behind her. Seeing her seemingly defenseless back, he copied Yuki’s earlier action and reached out directly toward a certain loli’s so-called weakness.

—————

“By the way, Little Ya, I’ve always been curious. Your sister has so many weird weak points… is that really okay?”

At Eiru and Eiya’s house, Jiaqi, who had been dragged over to accompany his childhood sweetheart, asked the loli next to him who was playing a game. As a childhood friend, he had been told quite a few of Eiru’s secrets.

Her horns, her tail, the base of her wings, that halo… Jiaqi’s impression of those places was simple. Touch them and she goes soft. Absolute weak points.

“Even if it’s basically benefiting Yuki, it still feels like if someone grabbed those spots outside and attacked her…”

“No matter how sensitive they are, how could she just collapse from a single touch? Brother Jiaqi, why is your head full of doujin plotlines?” Eiya shot him a look of disdain. You should really cut down on those weird magazines.

“But she clearly acts like that in front of Yuki…”

“That’s because my sister is willing to act like that. She relaxes and completely lowers her guard in front of Brother Yuki.” Still controlling her in-game character, Eiya answered casually.

“Is someone who’s ticklish going to lose all ability to resist just because they’re tickled? It’s still up to them. For example, you know about the weak points on my sister’s forehead and deep under her chin, right?”

“You mean those pause buttons?” Jiaqi recalled having seen Yuki bully Eiru like that before.

Back then, watching the girl get bullied like that had stirred up his playful side. He had wanted to try it himself, but Yuki’s murderous glare had quickly convinced him otherwise.

At the same time, Eiya had just finished her match. She turned sideways and wiggled her finger in front of Jiaqi a few times, then unceremoniously placed her legs across his thighs.

“Then do you remember what my sister calls those weak points?”

“I think it was… reverse scales?”

“Bingo~ Good memory. I’ll give you a point~”

Eiya gave him a small compliment, though to Jiaqi it sounded more like she was mocking him.

They both knew what reverse scale meant. Although Eiru always referred to those key weak points as her reverse scales, Jiaqi still could not connect that to what a true reverse scale was supposed to be.

What kind of reverse scale makes someone freeze and not dare to move when touched? And she even claimed those spots came from some kind of demonic dragon. What dragon installs a giant pause button on itself?

“Well, explaining more is pointless. Just know this. My sister is someone who cares a lot about ritual. She would never randomly name things.”

“Like Hulu, Gulu, Mango?”

“Don’t ruin it. Small animals respond to certain names, so that’s what they get called, okay? Strictly speaking, my sister didn’t even name them…”

—————

Meanwhile, in the alley, a strange atmosphere was spreading through the air. In the quiet environment, odd sounds occasionally echoed.

If one were to look inside the alley, they would see a silver-haired loli half crouched in front of the orange-haired delinquent, completely motionless.

The other thugs stood in a circle around her. There were no signs of a fight. Their clothes were neat and orderly. It did not look like they had been beaten up. Yet the scene felt deeply wrong.

Looking closer, the orange-haired delinquent was kneeling on the ground. He looked up at the loli before him. His gaze was empty, his face covered in tears and snot.

As for the companions around him, they had all collapsed onto the ground, their legs trembling uncontrollably. An invisible pressure weighed down on every nerve in their bodies, stripping them even of the ability to run.

“Who gave you the courage to touch it?”

A low voice came from the little Demon Lord’s throat. Completely unlike her usual playful self, her face was devoid of expression, and her entire body radiated a silent, contained fury.

The small white stars in her pupils that normally added a hint of liveliness had been replaced by pitch-black stars filled with wickedness. At this moment, the thugs truly felt something akin to killing intent emanating from her.

Forget begging or standing up. The invisible pressure saturating the air made it difficult for them to even think, even to maintain consciousness.

This was still a state she was deliberately controlling. She did not intend to let them faint off that easily. In this moment, the demonic and sinister nature of Eiru as a Demon Lord was perfectly expressed and released.

“How should I torture you? Break your arms and legs? Or maybe snap your fingers one by one…”

She reached out and grabbed the man’s hair. In that emotionless tone, the little Demon Lord uttered the most terrifying words.

But just as she was about to take the next step, a voice suddenly rang out from the alley entrance.

“Lu Brat, I’m back… what are you doing?!”

“Wah?!”

Instantly pulled back to reality by that voice, Her Majesty the Demon Lord let out a cute yelp. The little stars in her eyes immediately turned white again.
