Demon King – Chapter 933 – Punish Me!

“Hm? Mm…”

Hearing the doorbell, Eiya, who was home alone, ran over with quick little steps and opened the door. The moment she saw who was standing outside, she could not help but frown.

“Uh… well… Eiya…” Even though he had talked big in front of Eiru, the moment Hui Jiaqi actually saw his adorable childhood sweetheart, his cowardly tendencies flared up again.

‘What am I supposed to say? Apologize right away? I haven’t managed to find her these past few days. How am I even supposed to coax her? Even if she says she doesn’t mind, will she secretly hold it against me? I’ve heard girls are really petty…’

Holding a bag filled with groceries, Hui Jiaqi was so nervous he did not even know where to put his hands and feet. The two childhood sweethearts just stood there staring at each other with wide eyes. The atmosphere was so awkward it was hard to describe.

‘Be proactive. I need to be proactive…’

Thinking that continuing this stalemate was not a solution, Hui Jiaqi felt that he had to be the one to break the deadlock. But just as he was about to speak, the loli in front of him suddenly turned around and walked back inside.

‘It’s over. It’s over. Eiya really is angry! I should have found a way to take leave these past few days and explain…’

Seeing her ignore him like that, Hui Jiaqi’s thoughts became a complete mess.

But even if he wanted to explain, he honestly had no idea where to start. The reason was simple. To this day, the two childhood sweethearts still had no idea what exactly had happened that day.

The only two people who knew the truth had been enjoying the show the entire time and refused to reveal anything. With things having turned out like this, even if Hui Jiaqi wanted to admit fault, he did not know what he had done wrong.

“You’re not coming in?”

While Hui Jiaqi was still in mental chaos, Eiya’s puzzled voice suddenly came from inside the house, catching him off guard.

“Are you mad?”

Seeing that he did not react, the little girl hesitantly stepped closer, leaning forward and looking up at his face, trying to judge his inner emotions through his expression.

“These past few days… I was kind of unreasonable, throwing a tantrum. I’m sorry.”

Eiya lowered her head with her hands behind her back. Her fingers fidgeted restlessly with each other.

After calming down and thinking about it, she also felt she had gone a bit too far. Sulking and just sitting there waiting for him to come find her. She clearly knew how timid he was.

“Um, you haven’t eaten lunch yet, right? My sister said someone would come over later to prepare lunch for me… If you don’t mind? Or I can cook lunch for you?”

“No. Please don’t go into the kitchen.”

Hui Jiaqi had still been processing everything. But when he heard that last sentence, he immediately reacted on instinct.

‘Let you cook? I’d probably end up in the hospital getting my stomach pumped.’

“And what did your sister say? Someone’s coming to cook for you?”

“Yeah. Mom and Dad went out today, and my sister said she’s going to Brother Yuki’s place and won’t be back. I was planning to order takeout.”

“You’re a little loli staying home alone and you still dare to order takeout?” Before leaving the house, the little Demon Lord had immediately scolded her upon hearing that idea.

Because she had no experience living alone and had always had someone with her growing up, Eiya had developed a habit. Whenever guests came over, everyone would call for her to open the door. Over time, she formed the bad habit of opening the door without hesitation whenever she heard knocking.

When she was home, she basically had no sense of caution. That was also why Eiru rarely left her alone at home. And now that they were living in such a large house, it was not impossible that someone with ill intentions might take notice.

So before leaving, Her Majesty the Demon Lord repeatedly reminded her that someone would come handle lunch. All she had to do was stay obediently at home and open the door when the doorbell rang.

To prevent this silly girl from running over to open the door the moment anyone rang it, the little Demon Lord had even turned off the doorbell before leaving. Only after Hui Jiaqi arrived at the door and called her did she remotely turn the doorbell back on.

“The lunch tool your sister mentioned is probably me.”

Hui Jiaqi scratched his head. After hearing all that, he more or less understood the situation.

As expected, that mischievous Demon Lord had planned everything. No wonder she went all the way to the market near my house to buy groceries. She was coming to grab me and drag me over to take care of her sister.

“And Eiya, I also need to apo—”

Before he could finish apologizing, his lips were suddenly pressed shut by his childhood sweetheart’s finger.

“Don’t apologize. I was the one throwing a tantrum. There’s no way you would actually stand me up, right? These past few days, I was the one leaving early. I was the one who stood you up.”

Pouting slightly and standing on her tiptoes, Eiya’s shy little expression looked especially adorable in Hui Jiaqi’s eyes. Hearing her say that made a faint sense of guilt well up in his heart.

‘I actually thought Eiya was some spoiled girl who throws tantrums and is hard to coax. What’s wrong with me? She’s clearly so understanding. How could I label her like that?’

Of course, Eiya had no idea what was going through his mind. All she was thinking about was how to make up for her behavior these past few days. She grabbed his hand and pulled him straight into the house.

“So, punish me!”

“Huh?”

Tilting her little head up, Eiya made a rather ambiguous statement. In certain ways, she was especially pure. She simply felt that if she had done something wrong, she should be punished. Only then would it ease the resentment in Brother Jiaqi’s heart these past few days.

“I don’t know how to make it up to you. So you can punish me, okay? But it has to be within what I can accept. For example… mm? Waaa! That’s not okay!”

With her little head already full of random thoughts, after saying that, the silver haired loli’s imagination began running in questionable directions. Under Hui Jiaqi’s confused gaze, she suddenly blushed on her own.

“A KISS might not be impossible. But for a first kiss, I still feel like it should be… anyway, it shouldn’t really be used as punishment! Even Sister said her first kiss was very romantic…”

Covering her flushed little face, Eiya sat on the sofa, completely immersed in her own imagined world. Her slender legs wrapped in white stockings rubbed restlessly against each other, making a soft rustling sound.

‘Uh… what is she doing? What am I supposed to do right now? Apologize? No. Should I hug her?’

Watching his childhood sweetheart shyly spiral in her own thoughts, Hui Jiaqi felt even more bewildered.

‘She’s not explaining anything clearly. And suddenly telling me to punish you… punish you with what?!’

——— ——

“Damn it, you idiot. Push forward! If you push now, it’s guaranteed!”

In Yuki’s room, the little Demon Lord was watching the situation at home remotely through a mirror. She was practically itching to rush over and slap Hui Jiaqi twice.

“Make your move! With Eiya in that state, if you go all in, you might even make it straight to home base!”

Seeing his girlfriend shouting like that, Yuki held his head with one hand, not knowing what kind of expression he should be making.

‘In other families, older siblings treasure and protect their younger sisters. But you’re practically urging someone to just hand your sister over. Isn’t something wrong here, Lu Brat?’
