Demon King – Chapter 921 – How Can There Be a Little Brother Like This?

After Yu Qiu ran off, Yuki suddenly remembered something. Hadn’t Eiru gone to follow Yunxing to gather information? Then how did she suddenly show up here?

“There wasn’t much useful. They said they were going to some KTV. If I followed alone you’d probably nag again, so I came back to drag you along.”

‘What? Lu Brat can actually understand that now? So all that education over the years wasn’t wasted after all.’

Yuki was just starting to feel touched when the loli in front of him added another sentence that made him choke on the spot.

“That’s the normal thinking mode. Just now I was in demonized mode, so my thinking pattern was a little different~”

Her two index fingers lightly poked against each other, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s gaze drifting away. In that state her way of thinking became much simpler, which made her a little embarrassed to explain it out loud now.

Calling the black star-eyes state “demonized,” in that form not only would her personality shift somewhat, but as her thinking simplified, her mobility would also increase dramatically.

Simply put, she would be unrestrained by anything, including moral and ethical standards. Whatever she thought of, she would go and do. Compared to her usual self who was like a mischievous little house cat, at times like that she was more like a little wildcat, fully embodying the word wild.

After hearing those people talking, Eiru, who had been hiding nearby, suddenly had the idea of dragging Yuki to go sing. The moment the thought appeared, she immediately acted on it, jumping down from the wall and running off on the spot.

As for what happened afterward over there, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had no idea. So she really needed to use that state less in the future. It was way too easy for it to mess things up.

Bringing Yuki back to the alley where Yunxing and the others were, they were surprised to find that after being delayed for so long, those few still hadn’t left. After adjusting their position, the little Demon Lord lifted Yuki up to float with her, clinging to the other side of the alley wall with only their two heads exposed.

Listening in on their conversation, the two learned that the plan to go to the KTV had been canceled. The reason was simple. The moment they mentioned girls, Yunxing directly rejected the proposal.

“He really does hate girls, huh…”

The little Demon Lord whispered to Yuki at a volume only the two of them could hear. She seemed to understand a little now why Yunxing treated his sister Yunyue with that attitude.

“But there’s got to be a reason for hating them, right? Yunyue’s doted on him since he was little. Even if it’s a rebellious phase, he wouldn’t just suddenly start hating her, would he?”

And Yuki felt that precisely because Yunxing had been taken care of by his sister growing up, his impression of girls should actually be pretty good. There must have been some trigger that made him start disliking the girls around him.

“Unless there was a girl he really hated? Or maybe he dated and got hurt?”

“Dating in middle school? He probably doesn’t even know how to write the word love yet. Being curious I’d believe.”

“Then when did you start liking me?”

That single sentence from Eiru froze Yuki in place. Even if he was a male mom, at his core Yuki was still a pure-hearted teenage boy. Blushing red, he stammered for quite a while before finally speaking in embarrassment.

“In… middle school. When you hugged me for the first time…”

“See~ That’s why middle school brats nowadays know quite a lot.”

‘Damn it, why does it feel like you’re mocking me? You’re younger than me, aren’t you…’

Watching Eiru pretend to be mature, nodding her little head as if summarizing life experience, Yuki felt a wave of irritation.

“So you’re going to find his ‘ex-girlfriend’ and ask? The question is, does that person even exist? Yunyue never mentioned anything.”

“When you liked ‘Little Lu,’ I didn’t see you telling ‘Lu Brat,’ did I?” The little Demon Lord rolled her eyes at Yuki. “You’d have to investigate this kind of thing yourself. You wouldn’t even tell me, so what makes you think he’d tell Yueyue?”

“That’s because you didn’t ask!”

“I did ask! I even gave you advice!”

“I mean you didn’t ask who!”

“Why would I need to ask who? If you wanted to say, you’d say it yourself.”

‘Damn it, I suddenly really want to hit you…’

For some reason it felt like they’d gone back to the days when they were still just best bros. Back then Yuki could never win an argument against Eiru either, always ending up at a disadvantage in her hands.

But after Eiru turned into a loli, her softer side had become more apparent. Not exactly weak, but in front of Yuki she was always willing to be the one who got the short end of it, even if she still refused to admit defeat with her mouth.

While the two were still discussing, an angry shout suddenly came from below. Looking down, Eiru and Yuki saw a furious-faced Yunxing and a figure both of them were very familiar with.

“I’ve said it how many times? Don’t come to places like this to find me. How did you even find this place? Are you a worm in my stomach? Are you that annoying?”

Being scolded by her own younger brother just as expected, Yunyue opened her mouth but for a moment didn’t know what to say. Even though she was used to it, being spoken to like that by the little brother she had taken care of since childhood still hurt her deeply.

“If you’ve got something to say, can’t you just call? Is this somewhere you should be coming? You keep running over here every day. What are people going to think of me? Some giant baby? Do I not need any face?”

“But… you don’t answer my calls…”

Waving at the brothers behind him, having lost his patience, Yunxing reached out and roughly dragged Yunyue to the corner of the alley.

“What is it this time? You run over here every single day. It’s annoying, you know? Say it quickly.”

“You just started high school and you’re already skipping evening study…”

Yunyue had originally been thinking about how to say it without making her brother lose face, but now that Yunxing had dragged her aside to talk privately, she could finally speak openly.

“What’s that got to do with you? Did you attend evening study? You don’t go and you still want to control me? Hurry up and leave. Is that all? Such trivial crap.”

“If you get written up, then I’ll have to… sigh.”

When the teacher called the parents, their dad and mom definitely wouldn’t go to school. The one who would get lectured would still be her. And once they got home, she might even get scolded about how she took care of her brother. Yunyue felt like her life was really too hard.

“It’s nothing if I get scolded, but you—”

“Alright, alright. You keep repeating the same things every day. I’m sick of hearing it. If there’s nothing else, hurry up and go back. This isn’t somewhere you should come.”

Facing Yunxing’s order to leave, Yunyue sighed. She hadn’t really expected to persuade him so easily anyway. But she didn’t leave immediately. Instead she took off the small backpack on her back and pulled out a takeaway box from inside.

“I cooked something. At least don’t skip dinner. And don’t fight, and don’t drink or smoke…”

“You’re so annoying! Hurry up and get lost! If I’m hungry I’ll eat with them. Do you think I’m an idiot?”

Feeling that it was all trivial nonsense, Yunxing completely lost his patience. He reached out and slapped the lunchbox out of Yunyue’s hands. His sudden outburst startled his own sister into taking several steps back.

“You’re still not leaving? If you don’t leave then I’ll—”

He raised his hand as if he were about to hit her. Seeing him like this, Yunyue was so frightened she didn’t even pick up the lunchbox. Clutching her backpack to her chest, she turned and ran.

Yunxing picked up the lunchbox and raised it, posing as if he were about to throw it, chasing after her. Only after he had scared Yunyue out of the alley did he stop, lowering the raised lunchbox. Still looking irritated, he kicked the wall hard.

“Stupid Yuki, I want to beat him up.”

Having witnessed everything, the little Demon Lord’s eyes were icy cold, filled with raging fury. Even the tail behind her, rarely seen upright, was now raised straight up, clearly already in an attack stance.
