Demon King – Chapter 927 – My Brother’s Girlfriend?

Fake, right?

Putting aside how Gao Xuenan looked like she wanted to grind Yunyue into the dirt, even if Yunyue hadn’t actually done anything to her, that kind of avoidance, like she couldn’t stay far enough away, didn’t look like something you’d see between good friends or besties at all.

Yuki didn’t really understand the whole bestie thing that deeply, but if he substituted it around, it was probably about the same as sworn brothers between guys?

‘My good bro has already turned into a cute little thing whining in my arms, so how come you two besties ended up acting like enemies? That’s ridiculous. Seriously ridiculous.’

It wasn’t just Yuki. Even Her Majesty the Demon Lord couldn’t figure it out. What the hell could have happened between those two for things to turn out like this?

But thinking about Gao Xuenan’s personality and character… well. Actually, cutting ties with someone like that might not be a bad thing for Yunyue.

“And if you count Yunxing too, the three of them have actually known each other since elementary school.”

The moment that was brought up, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt a headache coming on again. In the end, if she wanted to dig into Yunyue and Yunxing’s past, she actually had to pry information out of Gao Xuenan.

“Well, don’t force it. We’ll think of another way.”

The moment he saw Eiru’s expression, Yuki knew exactly what was going on in the girl’s head. As he coaxed the unhappy little Demon Lord, his face carried a doting yet bitter smile.

Mischievous, clever, full of little schemes, but at her core, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was a very straightforward loli. If she didn’t like someone, she just didn’t like them. No matter the reason, she would never force herself to keep interacting with them.

Being friends meant being friends. Getting close to someone for some purpose or benefit was something Eiru had always hated. And she was a Demon Lord. Shouldn’t she be allowed to follow her heart and only do what she wanted?

After hurting her good bestie Yunyue and good bro Jixian, and adding on everything she had found out about Gao Xuenan’s character, honestly, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt a deep instinctive rejection toward that person.

And now you’re telling me we have to get clues from someone like that? Who would be willing?

Besides, with Gao Xuenan’s temperament, any information about the Yunyue siblings would definitely be heavily subjective. How much credibility would it even have?

With those two reasons combined, no wonder the little Demon Lord had such a headache. And Yuki, who could see what she was thinking, also felt this wasn’t something they should push through by force. Finding someone else to ask would be a better choice.

“Then who am I supposed to ask? It’s not like I can go straight to their parents, right?”

Eiru rested her little head on Yuki’s shoulder, grumbling softly, which made him ruffle her pleasantly soft hair again.

“When the boat reaches the bridge, it’ll straighten itself out. We’ll find someone who knows something sooner or later, won’t we? And there’s no way Lu Brat would force herself to go ask her, right?”

“Guu…”

So why did this have to be so troublesome…

Even though she was distressed, the little Demon Lord had never regretted accepting Yunyue’s request. That was just the kind of person she was. If she could help a friend, she’d be happy before anything else.

Right now, the people who knew about this were only three… maybe only two? Because Eiru had already subtly asked Yunyue herself about it, and even she said she didn’t really know much about what had happened.

So Yueyue, you’re also just a simple silly girl, huh. Completely unaware of what’s happening around you, always a beat too late to figure things out… wait. Why did I say also?

“Alright, stop thinking about it. Just rest for a while and observe the situation,” Yuki said with a smile as he patted Eiru’s head. “But I think there might be someone who knows something.”

“Who?”

“Don’t ask. Just get some rest. Leave this one to me.”

He shifted the loli on his back slightly. Over this period of time, Yuki had watched her running around worrying about everything.

Since he could help this time, there was no need to let this silly girl exhaust herself again.

As that thought crossed his mind, the image of someone who might know the truth surfaced in his head.

“Yaya! Yaya!”

Inside the Honor Class classroom of the first year, the moment class ended, just as Eiya finished packing up her books and was about to rest her head on the desk for a quick break, she heard a voice that gave her an instant headache.

When those pink twin ponytails entered her line of sight, Eiya revealed a tired expression.

Big sis, you really know how to wear people out.

“Don’t you ever get tired…”

By now, Eiya had already figured out Yu Qiu’s daily routine.

During breaks, that little menace only did three things.

The first was planning pranks, either alone or with classmates. If you ever saw that scene, then in the next class, some unlucky victim would definitely receive a “surprise.”

The second was running out of the classroom. No one knew where Yu Qiu went during that time. And that period, when there was no chaos and no fear of becoming the next victim, was often the most peaceful and relaxing time for the whole class, including Eiya.

As for the last thing, it was harassing Eiya.

Even though she knew Yu Qiu was interested in her older sister, being singled out and messed with every single day still left this silver-haired loli utterly drained.

But after spending this much time together, Eiya had slowly gotten used to Yu Qiu’s mischievous energy. She was a troublemaking brat, sure, but at worst it was just pranks. She didn’t have any real malicious intent to truly hurt anyone.

“You dye your hair this often. Won’t it damage it? Aren’t you scared it’ll turn all dry and brittle and you won’t even be able to show your face?”

Holding her twin ponytails as she gestured, Eiya figured that since they were classmates, she didn’t want Yu Qiu to actually ruin her hair.

It was a little embarrassing to admit, but since the start of school until now, the person she was most familiar with in the class really was this little she-devil who harassed her every day. Annoying as she was, basic concern still had to be there.

Girls cared about their looks. If such a lively girl ended up shutting herself off because of something like this, that would be too pitiful.

Thinking that, Eiya didn’t even notice the contradiction in calling a girl taller than herself a little brat. But then again, she had seen her sister’s memories from before she turned sixteen. In some ways, she really was more mature than this girl.

“Don’t worry! My hair quality is special! It won’t be affected!”

Yu Qiu puffed out her already developing chest proudly as she spoke. For some reason, seeing that gesture made Eiya feel a flash of inexplicable irritation.

“Oh right, oh right, Yaya! I saw your brother’s girlfriend that day! But she was super scary. Fierce as hell.”

‘Huh? My brother’s girlfriend? What the hell…’

Eiya froze for a moment, then her expression turned slightly embarrassed.

It was kind of awkward to admit, but the moment Yu Qiu mentioned her brother’s girlfriend being fierce, the first image that popped into Eiya’s mind was Yuki getting jealous because of Eiru.

My sister calls Yuki “wife,” and my sister used to be a boy, so that makes her my brother… and my brother’s girlfriend is Yuki.

When you think about it like that, it actually isn’t wrong at all.
