Demon King – Chapter 929 – Suspicion and Relief, and the Unlucky Sap Who Got Screwed Over

The reason Yuki came to find Eiya was actually very simple. He wanted to see if he could get some information about a certain little she-devil from her.

Thinking carefully about that day when Yunxing had deliberately taken a huge detour to lead Yu Qiu away, Yuki was starting to suspect whether things were really like his little girlfriend had guessed. Was Yunxing actually protecting her?

Of course, they had already investigated and confirmed that Yunxing disliked girls, so there was also a high chance he had simply been avoiding her out of pure disgust. But who knew. Maybe those two were actually quite familiar with each other.

Yuki had also tried to find her himself. Asking face to face would have been more appropriate. But strangely enough, after running through the entire first-year cohort, he still hadn’t managed to find a single purple-haired girl.

With no other choice, he could only come to Eiya. Since they were both first-year students, the probability that she knew someone with such an obvious trait was pretty high.

“So, Brother Yuki, you want me to ask her whether she knows anything about someone called Yunxing?”

“Yeah. I’m not good at dealing with girls, so it’s better if I ask you to help.” Yuki clasped his hands together, looking a little embarrassed as he made the request.

“That figures. Which is why you could only end up with my sister. If you were the type who’s good at flirting with girls, you definitely wouldn’t have been able to catch my sister…”

‘Uh…’

Yuki was speechless, but he had to admit Eiya had a point.

With Eiru’s bro-like mentality and thought process, if he were the kind of guy who could easily blend in and get along with girls, that little rascal would have long since encouraged and assisted him into getting together with someone else.

When he thought about it that way, he actually felt a little relieved.

‘I really can’t imagine being with anyone other than Lu Brat. Or Lu Brat being snatched away by someone else…’

Back to the main issue. Right now, he still needed Eiya’s help to ask around. Realizing their conversation had drifted off topic, Yuki quickly pulled it back.

“You know I’m with Lu Brat now. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be alone privately with other girls, right?”

“What’s the big deal… My sister wouldn’t get jealous. As long as you don’t have a guilty conscience, what’s there to be afraid of?”

It sounded like teasing, but there was a faint note of probing in Eiya’s voice. Only by seeing Yuki’s attitude toward this matter could she further judge certain things.

“She wouldn’t get jealous, but I’d feel uncomfortable. If it’s inconvenient for you to help, I can think of another way.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll help you ask.”

She waved her hand and agreed. During that brief exchange just now, Eiya had thought through a lot.

‘What’s wrong with me? What is there to doubt about Brother Yuki? Didn’t I watch every bit of their interactions from inside my sister?’

Having seen all of that, she was clearly one of the people who understood Yuki’s character best. So why was she probing and doubting him over something that was most likely just a misunderstanding?

“Brother Yuki, just stay by my sister’s side honestly. Leave this kind of thing to me.”

She reached out and poked his shoulder lightly a few times. Eiya, who had seemed somewhat tense the whole time, finally revealed a relieved smile after sorting out her thoughts. She turned around and slung her small backpack over her shoulder.

“I’m going to find Brother Jiaqi. He’s still in your classroom, right? Making me wait that long. Now I even have to go find him…”

Without waiting for Yuki to answer, the silver-haired loli muttered to herself as she ran out of the classroom toward the stairwell.

After Eiya left, Yuki was just about to head back to check on Eiru when a hurried voice suddenly sounded from the classroom doorway.

“Little Ya, Little Ya, huh… The teacher kept me for a while just now, sorry— huh? Yuki, why are you here?”

Looking at the familiar and slightly embarrassing figure at the door, Yuki didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh.

Should he say the two of you have good chemistry, or not?

If he said yes, you two just perfectly missed each other, and a comedy scene was definitely about to unfold.

But if he said no, this kind of synchronized house-switching wasn’t something just anyone could pull off either.

“Jiaqii, I suggest you… hurry to the stairwell.”

Suppressing his laughter, Yuki gave Jiaqi some friendly advice. If your childhood sweetheart goes there and doesn’t see you, you’re not going to have a good time.

‘Since Yuki was here, he must’ve seen Little Ya just now…’

Thinking that, Jiaqi was about to follow the suggestion and head back to his class, but then his steps suddenly stopped.

“Wait. Yuki, you’re not teaming up with Lu Brat to mess with me, are you? It’s after school. Little Ya always waits for me obediently.”

With a look that clearly said I’ve seen through your scheme, Jiaqi declared that he wasn’t that easy to trick. For Yuki to be acting abnormally and not glued to his own loli meant he must’ve listened to her bad ideas and come here to cause trouble.

“Then… good luck.”

Yuki cupped his fists with a barely contained grin and quickly left the classroom, leaving behind someone still stuck in suspicion.

‘Hm? Maybe he’s not trying to screw me over? No. I can’t fall for this.’

‘Lu Brat is definitely trying to lure me away so Little Ya won’t find me when she comes back, then she’ll get mad and use her to deal with me.’

‘Damn that Lu Brat. Using even Yuki and Little Ya just to prank me.’

But I’ve been through countless battles and fallen for your tricks too many times. I’m not going to walk into your trap that easily.

“Achoo!”

In a third-year classroom, a certain silver-haired loli suddenly let out a loud sneeze.

Rubbing her nose, she looked around the empty classroom but didn’t notice anything strange.

Is someone talking bad about me? Probably Stupid Qi.

She lazily continued lying on the desk, chewing her bubble gum, quietly waiting for Yuki to come back.

After a while, a pair of small hands suddenly covered her eyes from behind.

“Little~ Ya~ Not spending time bonding with your Brother Jiaqi and instead coming here to prank me?”

Before the person behind her could speak, Eiru had already identified who it was. With how small her own sister’s hands were, it wasn’t exactly hard to tell.

“Why do you sound like you’re trying to sell me off, sis… But where did Brother Jiaqi go? He didn’t come find me, and he’s not in the classroom?”

Looking at Jiaqi’s empty seat and noticing that his backpack was gone too, Eiya puffed up her cheeks in displeasure.

“He wouldn’t have ditched me and left, would he? I’m his girlfriend! How could he do that!”

“Meh, what’s the big deal? I ditch my wife without saying a word all the time. Sometimes you just forget. Can’t be helped.”

The little Demon Lord replied nonchalantly, completely unaware that her words were steadily pushing a certain unlucky childhood friend deeper into a pit. Though even if she knew what was happening, with her personality, she’d probably keep fanning the flames anyway.

“Men like us are just that free and easy. When we say we’re running, we run. Look at me now, I ran off. When Stupid Yuki can’t find me later, he won’t even—”

“Oh? Is that so? Won’t what?”

Yuki’s gentle voice suddenly rang out, startling a certain loli who had been acting all high and mighty so badly that she jumped straight up from her chair.

“My dear Lu Brat, if you ever ditch me without a word and run off, I’ll hang up your ring and use it as a hula hoop when we get home.”
