Demon King – Chapter 913 – Eiya’s New Classmate

“So, how is it? Getting used to high school?”

“It’s okay, I guess? But…”

Eiya frowned and glanced at the person sitting across from her. Something about this script felt off.

Normally, shouldn’t this question be asked by my sister? Or Brother Jiaqi? Or at the very least Brother Yuki? Why is it you, this dummy, who’s worrying about this?

“Don’t look at me like that. Your sister asked me to. She’s busy being lovey-dovey with her senior or whatever. She said, ‘Take care of my little sister for me, okay? I’m going to stir up trouble.’ And then she ran off.”

Although her relationship with Eiya was pretty decent, the Hero Girl also felt this kind of concern should not really fall to her. But since she had been entrusted with it, how could a Hero refuse someone in need of help?

“A Hero should enthusiastically help the people around her. Since your sister asked, I’ll reluctantly watch over you.”

“Is there a possibility that she’s your archenemy? And I’m your archenemy’s little sister?”

Eiya’s tone was dripping with sarcasm. Since when does a Hero help all the way to the Demon Lord’s side? So you two are actually besties, right? Definitely besties, right?

Back to the main topic, Xixia began explaining some key points for freshmen and the situation at Seventh High. For example, Eiya’s current class was temporary and would only stabilize after a placement exam.

Because Eiya had once gone on stage with Eiru to host the school gala, she had already built up a certain level of popularity among the students of Seventh High.

Some well-informed sophomores and seniors somehow found out in advance that the Demon Lord’s younger sister would also be enrolling at Seventh High. So on the very first day of school, a bunch of people had already come over to get close and ask for her contact information.

As another rare silver-haired loli, Eiru had Yuki protecting her and driving off all kinds of suitors. On top of that, she had the identity of a senior sister. So quite a few students who felt they had no chance shifted their attention to Eiya instead.

“It’s only the first day of school and I’ve already heard about some ‘Eiya Contention War’? Demon Lord’s little sister, your popularity is even crazier than I imagined.”

Teasing the loli in front of her, the Hero Girl did not realize that she herself, with her unique chuunibyou charm, also had quite a few admirers behind her.

In this regard, Xixia was even more slow and oblivious than Eiru. She was practically a blank slate when it came to certain knowledge. When some bold classmates made dirty jokes at her expense, this silly girl would respond with strange replies in complete confusion.

But precisely because she did not blush and clearly understood nothing, the bad boys around her gradually found it boring. And her dumb, honest demeanor made quite a few boys with ill intentions feel embarrassed instead. By pure accident, she had avoided a lot of trouble.

While eating and chatting, Eiya casually complained about the cafeteria food at Seventh High. Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the cafeteria. Following the sound, they saw a boy radiating killing intent standing in the middle of the hall.

“Uh… what is Brother Jiaqi doing?”

“Mm. As expected, I think he really has the talent to be a Hero.”

‘What are you even talking about? By Hero, do you mean some kind of social terrorist?’

Watching Jiaqi grab random people and ask, “Where’s Eiya? Which guy is hitting on her?” Eiya suddenly felt secondhand embarrassment. Especially with her head of obvious silver hair. Are you really unable to find me, or are you pretending?

After a while, under the guidance of others, the embarrassing young man finally spotted his childhood sweetheart. Upon realizing that the person eating with her was not some unknown guy, he stormed over with murderous intent.

“Which bastard’s got the guts? Eiya is only fifteen! You dare flirt with her? Are you tired of living? Do you believe I— huh?”

The moment he saw the familiar face waving at him with a smile, Jiaqi froze. Then he glanced at his childhood sweetheart, who was already trying to bury her head under the table, and immediately understood he had been played again.

“Why are you wearing the boys’ uniform? Aren’t you a girl?!”

Seeing Xixia dressed in the boys’ school uniform, Jiaqi lost his mind. How is anyone supposed to recognize you from far away like that?

“Hm? I was wearing a skirt originally. The little Demon Lord suddenly came to find me today and dragged me into the restroom to change into this outfit…”

Although the Hero Girl was chuunibyou, she was actually quite mischievous. Guessing that this loli was planning something, and since she herself was not particularly comfortable wearing skirts anyway, why would she refuse to cooperate?

“So you really got played by the little Demon Lord, huh? I knew it when she took me to change clothes she was up to something… I already guessed it when she asked me to look after the Demon Lord’s little sister.”

“I have a question.”

After listening to everything, Eiya suddenly raised her hand. “When my sister brought you into the restroom to change, was it the men’s restroom or the women’s?”

“Hm? It was the one on the third floor that’s under maintenance… it’s the same for both genders, right?”

“Stop dodging. Men’s or women’s?”

“…Men’s.”

The moment she answered, accompanied by the clatter of chopsticks being slammed down, Eiya suddenly stood up with killing intent and stormed out of the cafeteria, leaving the Hero Girl completely baffled.

“What… what’s wrong with her all of a sudden?”

Xixia looked at Jiaqi in confusion, only to receive a helpless reply.

“You two are seriously unbelievable. I give up.”

Watching Jiaqi throw that line over his shoulder and hurry off to chase Eiya, the Hero Girl remained utterly confused.

‘Unbelievable? Was he praising me?’

‘Oh, I get it. He meant that both the little Demon Lord and I are extremely good-looking, right? It sounds kind of weird, but I’ll just take it as a compliment.’

Honestly, you already have a girlfriend. If the Demon Lord’s little sister heard that, you wouldn’t have a good ending.

“Eiya said that in her class today, there were two people who left the deepest impression on everyone.”

Rеαd οn ΚаtRеаⅾіոɡСαfе

On the rooftop, eating sandwiches together with Yuki, the little Demon Lord was sharing amusing stories she had heard from her sister.

“One is Eiya herself. Silver hair and blue eyes are just too eye-catching. The other is a complete troublemaker in their class.”

“Oh? A troublemaker? More of a troublemaker than you?”

Listening to Eiru’s stories, Yuki teased her with a grin.

“Cut it out. Eiya said that, well… how should I put it? The first thing she did upon meeting their homeroom teacher was the classic cockroach gum prank.”

It was said that this new classmate of Eiya’s had already pranked nearly everyone in the class on the first day, leaving the entire class with the impression of her as a total brat.

“But she didn’t prank Eiya. Instead, she asked Eiya about me… Weird. I don’t even know her. Why is she asking about me?”

‘Oh please, you don’t know her?’

Yuki silently complained in his heart. He could roughly guess why the other party was asking about his little girlfriend.

After all, based on what this loli had pulled at the opening ceremony, she had probably already become some kind of idol model for the troublemaking students over there.
