Demon King – Chapter 942 – What Are You Longing For?

“They two? Dating?”

After Eiya told Yuki this explosive piece of news, and Yuki in turn passed it on, Eiru first showed a look of confusion, then burst out laughing.

“Pfft hahaha, no way. Eighty percent chance they were just pulling a prank on Eiya.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord stated that it was not like she had never seen how those two interacted. Dating? Forget dating. Even if Yunxing’s fist landed on Yu Qiu’s face, that would not be anything strange.

What kind of person looked like they wanted to beat up their own girlfriend every single day? Although to be fair, Yu Qiu really did have a punchable face in front of him. Anyway, if you said those two were dating, impossible. Absolutely impossible.

“Not even mentioning little bro, that brat herself doesn’t have any feelings for him at all. She’s just treating him as entertainment.”

As she explained, sitting on a chair with both legs propped up on the desk, posture completely indecent, the small Demon Lord rocked the chair back and forth. Watching this blood pressure–raising scene, Yuki, who had long gotten used to it, could not even be bothered to interfere.

‘Well, at least they were at home right now. Forget it, forget it. As long as she was happy and comfortable, that was fine.’

But just because Yuki did not care did not mean no one would.

For example, a certain mother who heard that her future daughter-in-law had come to visit and excitedly rushed into the room, intending to shower her with concern.

“Sweetie! Let Mommy see if you’ve gotten thinner from hunger…”

“Huh?”

Looking at Ning Xin, who had suddenly barged in, Her Majesty the Demon Lord froze while still maintaining that posture. As the other woman’s expression gradually darkened, the little girl instantly realized things were not looking good.

“Mommy~”

In an instant, she corrected her posture, placed both hands obediently on her thighs, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Ning Xin with an innocent gaze that could fool both humans and animals. She looked as well-behaved as she possibly could.

But Ning Xin had full confidence in her own eyesight. There was no such thing as opening the door the wrong way and closing it to try again. Trying to muddle through was pure wishful thinking.

Just as Eiru was thinking about how to get through this with some coquettish acting, bang, the bedroom door was gently closed. Hearing the sound, the silver-haired loli glanced around and realized that Yuki had vanished at some unknown time.

“Stupid Yuki?!”

“Good luck, Lu Brat. Under Mom’s guidance, work hard to become a proper young lady.”

Casually closing the door and leaving the problem to the two people inside, Yuki held back his laughter and muttered that softly before heading alone to the storage room to fetch something.

“Eiru, what did Mommy teach you before?”

“Girls need to pay attention to their image, don’t do indecent actions, when wearing a skirt don’t spread your legs or lift them to avoid flashing…”

Although she recited Ning Xin’s teachings in a flat, robotic tone, Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s current appearance was indeed so obedient that no fault could be found.

Why was she suddenly this well-behaved?

For a mischievous loli with a restless personality like her, being locked in a room and forced to properly study all sorts of things girls needed to pay attention to… there was nothing more torturous than that, okay!

So she had to act like a good student! As long as she obediently answered the teacher’s questions correctly, that meant she was a diligent student who had studied seriously. As long as she knew everything, she would not have to be pressed at the desk to keep studying!

“Oh? You know all of it? Then that means you’re knowingly committing the offense?”

Ning Xin narrowed her eyes, a slight curve lifting the corners of her lips, and reached out to gently pinch Eiru’s cute pointed ear.

“Huh? I didn’t! I’m not! Mommy, listen to my explanation!”

“More words are useless. Today I absolutely have to correct you properly!”

“No, Mommy! I really don’t want to be a lady!”

“Don’t want to be a lady? You want to be a delinquent girl instead, hm?”

“I never said that!”

Outside, Yuki listened to the loli’s wailing cries coming from his room. Holding the snacks he would use later to coax her, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

“Senior, morning… huh?”

The next morning, as Yunxing was heading toward the classroom, he spotted the not unfamiliar silver-haired loli in the corridor. He was about to greet her when he suddenly noticed something off about her state.

The usually lively and energetic silver-haired loli looked listless this early in the morning, muttering something under her breath. But compared to the sluggishness of not being fully awake, it felt more like she had undergone some kind of torment.

“Ah? Little bro, morning… have you been a good little boy today?”

Noticing Yunxing’s presence, Her Majesty the Demon Lord waved at him expressionlessly, her tone completely flat.

“…”

He did not pay much attention to her strange tone, but the phrase good little boy sounded especially grating in Yunxing’s ears. Before he could think further, Eiru’s next words cut off his train of thought.

“Waaah, I’m so tired, I don’t want to go to school, I really want to skip class…”

Muttering words completely inconsistent with a model student image, the silver-haired loli walked away hunched over in a dispirited manner. Yunxing let out a breath of relief, cast a somewhat subtle gaze at her retreating figure, and for once, a faint curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

“Not caring about others, living freely and at ease… that’s nice.”

But his good mood did not last long. The voice that rang out beside him instantly darkened his expression.

“Little Gorilla~ What are you looking at?”

Seeing that head of irritating pink hair, Yunxing clicked his tongue and did not even bother responding, directly turning around to head toward the classroom.

“Eh, how cruel. You’re so enthusiastic toward Senior Eiru, but you treat me like this?”

After secretly observing from the side for quite a while, Yu Qiu, after brief consideration, decisively gave up chasing after the Demon Lord loli she had always wanted to hook up with. The reason was simple. In her eyes, Yunxing was obviously much more fun.

“I hate girls. Can you stay farther away from me? Aren’t you annoyed acting like this every day?”

“Senior Eiru is also a girl though? Little Gorilla, you’re such a tsundere…”

“No… she’s different.” Yunxing snorted coldly. “As for you, why don’t you look in the mirror? Can you even compare to her?”

“Eh? How can I not compare… we both like pranks, we both have good grades, we’re both beautiful girls~ Hehe, I get it!”

“Little Gorilla, do you like Senior Eiru? Puberty, you know. No matter how much you say you hate girls, you can’t resist hormones, right?”

Without even sparing Yu Qiu a glance, Yunxing quickened his pace, unwilling to continue listening to the troublesome girl’s nonsense. But while he wanted to escape, someone was clearly unwilling to let him off so easily.

“Shy, shy! Little Gorilla has a cute side too… who would’ve thought you like the petite and cute type? But don’t I count as petite and cute? Even if I’m a bit taller than Senior…”

“But Little Gorilla, just now, in the way you looked at Senior… it was filled with longing.”

Hearing this sentence, Yunxing suddenly stopped in his tracks. When he turned back to look at Yu Qiu, his gaze was filled with an indescribable complexity.
