Demon King – Chapter 928 – Who Is She?

“So when you say my brother… which one are you talking about?”

Jokes and wild imagination aside, Eiru hardly appeared in front of others using her former male identity anymore. So this so-called “brother” was extremely thought-provoking.

It couldn’t possibly be Cousin Miao, right? He didn’t even know Yu Qiu, and hadn’t he been out of town recently… After thinking for a moment, the clever Eiya immediately arrived at a certain possibility.

“Don’t tell me… you mean Li Yuki?”

Even though Yu Qiu didn’t answer directly, the smiling expression on her face was enough for Eiya to know she had guessed correctly.

‘Can you all stop randomly assuming blood relations just because of the shared silver hair and blue eyes! What is this, three siblings now?!’

Even though silver hair and blue eyes really were rare… she complained inwardly, but Eiya didn’t immediately clarify the relationship.

After all, the only reason Yuki and her sister could openly show affection at school was because of that sibling excuse. If she exposed it and turned the two of them into key targets for teachers and the dean’s office, that would be a real headache.

But thinking about it again, if Yu Qiu ran into Yuki and happened to see her sister, she should have assumed they were siblings. So where did this girlfriend thing come from?

“You’re talking about B-Brother Yuki’s girlfriend? What does she look like? You’re not just assuming that because you saw them together, right? Spreading rumors isn’t good.”

After sorting through the logic, Eiya realized something was off and quickly asked Yu Qiu about the appearance of that so-called girlfriend.

Of course, based on her understanding of Yuki, there was no way she believed he would secretly hook up with some other girl behind her sister’s back.

“Hmm, black hair. Small, about your height, Yaya.”

Trying hard to recall the scene from that day, Yu Qiu gestured with both hands, vividly describing a cute little black-haired loli.

‘Black hair? Blue eyes? Just over one-forty? Personality extremely fierce, kind of yandere-ish?’

‘What the hell is that supposed to be? Since when did someone like that exist in their social circle?’

Yu Qiu’s description made Eiya frown. At the very least, she knew all the people around Yuki and Eiru.

There were quite a few black-haired girls. There were also a few lolis. But combining the two, Eiya couldn’t find a matching candidate in her memory. The lolis they knew were either silver-haired or blonde, weren’t they?

“But she was really cute. I couldn’t help wanting to hug her… if she hadn’t looked like she was about to butcher me on the spot.”

Thinking about the sinister aura and killing intent that girl had radiated back then, Yu Qiu shuddered.

The reason she had suddenly brought this up today was partly to get closer to Eiya, but partly because she was genuinely a little worried.

She might be a mischievous troublemaker, but Yu Qiu wasn’t bad at heart. She liked having fun, sure, but she wouldn’t just stand by if someone around her was actually in danger.

“So I figured I should remind you and Senior Eiru to pay attention to your safety and keep some distance from your brother. I’m worried you two might get torn apart by hand. And that’d be no fun for me.”

“Oh, and about what you just said. I didn’t guess their relationship. Your brother personally introduced her to me. He said that black-haired loli was his girlfriend.”

Thinking about the unconcealed pride and smugness on Yuki’s face at the time, Yu Qiu ruled out the possibility of him just bragging.

‘If they weren’t really a couple, would that little girl have gotten so jealous she looked ready to kill me? I was just teasing a little!’

Hearing that, Eiya couldn’t sit still anymore. She couldn’t help suspecting this might be one of Yu Qiu’s pranks. But looking at her unusually serious expression, she didn’t seem to be lying.

‘But Brother Yuki couldn’t possibly be secretly seeing other girls behind her sister’s back. Sure, the loli part perfectly matched his XP, but that was still impossible, right?’

‘Was there even a loli in this world more attractive to him than her sister?’

Tilting her head and thinking for a long while, Eiya still couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

‘Forget it. I’ll just ask my sister or Brother Yuki later and see if I can probe a little indirectly.’

“Did she have any other obvious features?”

“Yes, yes! The most obvious thing was that there were little black stars in her eyes! Though it’s probably just colored contacts. Normal people don’t have stars in their eyes. Your sister seems to wear the white star ones, right?”

Yu Qiu could tell Eiya didn’t seem to know this person at all. Sensing that things were getting complicated, and catching the scent of potential fun, she started getting excited.

“Black little stars in her eyes?”

Hearing that feature, combined with the earlier description of her height and build, Eiya began to wonder if her sister had put on some kind of disguise.

But the personality didn’t match at all. Fierce enough to look like she wanted to kill someone?

No matter how angry her sister got, it was hard to imagine her developing actual killing intent toward someone. At most she would just teach them a lesson.

‘And getting jealous because of Brother Yuki and then going dark and violent?’

‘How was that possible…’

If she were the type to get jealous, I dare say Brother Yuki would be so happy he’d float into the sky.

After ruling out what was actually the correct answer, Eiya suddenly felt nervous.

If there really was some third party involved, and with that black-star-in-the-eyes feature, that wasn’t exactly normal either.

“So? So? Should we tell your sister about this? If you’re going to investigate that scary little loli, count me in! Sounds super fun!”

‘Didn’t you just say you felt like you’d walked past the gates of hell? And now you’re still chasing fun without caring about anything…’

Eiya looked speechlessly at the pink-haired girl in front of her whose face was practically screaming anticipation, and became even more determined not to let her get anywhere near Eiru.

“Not planning to. As long as Brother Yuki likes her, that’s enough. What kind of personality she has isn’t my business. If you’re looking for fun, take a right out the door. The dean’s office probably has plenty for you.”

With something like this, there was no way Eiya would let a chaos-loving person like Yu Qiu get involved. If something slipped and Eiru or Yuki found out the wrong way and caused a misunderstanding, that would be a disaster.

“Tch. Boring…”

Plopping down unceremoniously into the seat in front of Eiya, Yu Qiu lay sprawled over Eiya’s desk with a disappointed expression.

“Oh right, Yaya. Wanna discuss something? Next time we change seats, how about we become desk mates?”

“Don’t even think about it! If I have to deal with you up close, I’ll lose two years of my life!”

—————

After the day’s classes ended, Eiya was packing up her things, waiting for Jiaqi so they could head home together. But instead of Jiaqi, someone unexpected showed up.

“Hm? You’re asking me if I know a purple-haired girl?”

Eiya had still been thinking about how to probe Yuki about this matter, and now he had come looking for her himself. Since he brought it up first, that saved her quite a bit of trouble.

“I might know someone like that. But Brother Yuki, when and where did you run into her?”

After Yuki reported the date and location of his encounter with Yu Qiu, Eiya frowned.

Everything Yuki described matched exactly with what Yu Qiu had told her earlier today.

That completely eliminated the last bit of doubt in Eiya’s mind that this had been some fabricated prank.
