Demon King – Chapter 952 – Pranks, Huh?

Since it was on the way anyway, and because Yunyue had asked her to look after Yu Qiu a bit, Her Majesty the Demon Lord thought it over and decided to send the girl back to school first.

As a publicly acknowledged problem girl, even though she had been badly frightened earlier, Yu Qiu still wanted to mess with this loli senior a little. If she behaved herself the entire way, that would completely go against her style.

But after a whole series of attempts, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was still the same Demon Lord as always, while the bratty little menace beside her had fallen into a state of doubting life itself. Anyone who saw the way she kept running into walls would probably feel an immense sense of satisfaction.

‘This is such a loss. I know absolutely nothing about her. We only met once, but it feels like she already sees right through my thoughts.’

Only now did Yu Qiu realize how impulsive she had been. She had not even investigated the person she was messing with before jumping in. This time she had really taken a huge loss.

‘Could it be because of that time I flirted with her senior that day? Did she hold a grudge and go investigate me?’

Seemingly grasping some kind of breakthrough point, Yu Qiu continued acting lively and carefree, trying to pry some information out of Eiru.

“Senior, you and that senior must have known each other for a long time, right? You’ve been dating for quite a while too?”

“Hm? We’ve known each other since we were kids, I guess. But we haven’t been dating that long.” Faced with the sudden gossip, the little Demon Lord did not think much of it and simply answered the question.

Well, when they were little she only knew that someone named Yuki existed. They did not truly become close until middle school.

Thinking of that, Her Majesty the Demon Lord showed a somewhat helpless smile. Back then they both thought the other would just be a passing figure in their lives. Yet not only did they become best friends, somehow now he had even picked her up.

“Wow, so lovey dovey. No wonder Senior got so angry that day.”

Yu Qiu continued teasing, but she also noticed something different about the loli beside her compared to before.

The reason she dared to stick close and stir trouble was because those strange and frightening black little stars were no longer in the other girl’s eyes. Without that thing, this loli senior really gave off a different feeling. Much more approachable.

“Hm? That day… you just had bad luck. By the way, having a boyfriend and still flirting with other boys isn’t exactly good behavior, little sister Yu Qiu.”

Although she knew Yunxing and Yu Qiu could not possibly be a couple, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was more than happy to tease her with that point.

‘Who told you to brag in front of my little sister? Now that you bragged like that, let’s see how you explain it.’

With just those two simple sentences from Eiru, the clever Yu Qiu immediately picked up two important pieces of information.

First, this senior definitely knew her. From the moment they met until now, neither of them had introduced themselves, yet the other girl had accurately called out her name.

Second, that brag about dating Yunxing. She had only told that to Eiya. Which meant the senior in front of her must have had fairly close contact with Eiya.

“By the way, Senior must be pretty familiar with that senior’s little sister, right? Want a piece of gum?”

“Huh? Thanks… I wouldn’t say we’re especially close. We just chat occasionally.”

While continuing to fish for information, Yu Qiu casually took out a half opened pack of chewing gum. When she saw Eiru reach out to take one, her heart was already bursting with joy.

This was one of Yu Qiu’s usual little pranks. The gum she handed over was actually a special prank prop. The gum inside was completely fake.

If someone pulled the gum out of the pack, it would trigger the mechanism and release an electric shock.

Looking at the black-haired loli senior beside her who seemed calm about everything, Yu Qiu could hardly wait to see the other girl’s hair stand on end. Honestly, the fact she still dared to cause trouble after being frightened so badly before showed she really had guts.

But the next moment, something unbelievable happened.

The black-haired loli casually pulled at the pack and actually drew out a strip of gum. Just as she was about to tear it open, she suddenly seemed to remember something and stuffed the gum back into the pack.

“Ah, I haven’t finished my milk tea yet. You eat it first.”

“?????”

Yu Qiu was completely stunned.

She had prepared the prop herself.

‘How could this happen?’

After thinking it over and failing to understand, she guessed it might be some kind of sleight of hand. She reached in to pull out the very strip of gum the other girl had just put back inside, and then…

“Wah! What the hell! Why?!”

The real gum had somehow turned back into the fake one. The electric shock made Yu Qiu yank her hand back in fright. Her eyes widened as she stared, unable to understand what was going on.

The first part could still be explained. Maybe the other girl had used some card switching style trick when Yu Qiu was not paying attention. Pretending to pull something out while actually never taking anything.

But the second part made no sense.

She had clearly watched the other girl put the gum back inside with her own eyes. How could the real gum suddenly turn into the electric prank prop?

Watching Yu Qiu repeatedly fiddling with the little gadget in her hands, the little Demon Lord drank her milk tea while quietly snickering.

‘Kid, I was already playing with this stuff years ago.’

After that, Yu Qiu tried all kinds of probing attempts and prank tricks on Eiru, but without exception every move seemed to be predicted in advance. Not only did she fail to extract any information or pull off any prank, she ended up getting herself caught in her own traps instead.

“This isn’t scientific… how could I…”

For once Yu Qiu looked dejected. No matter how she thought about it, she could not understand how someone existed who could counter her like this.

“Senior, I think this umbrella of mine is broken. Can you help me take a look?”

Still unwilling to give up, Yu Qiu pulled out another prank item. A trick umbrella that would suddenly pop open automatically and was extremely hard to close again. She tried to recover at least a bit of face.

“Ah, sure…”

After taking the umbrella, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had just untied the strap when the umbrella suddenly sprang open by itself.

‘This time I finally won, right?’

Yu Qiu waited to see the other girl panic and struggle to close the umbrella, unable to manage it no matter what. But her smug grin vanished not long after.

The little Demon Lord had no intention of closing the umbrella at all. She simply raised the opened umbrella in front of herself.

Yu Qiu was puzzled by the action. Then with a loud splash, the puddle of water in front of them was kicked up by a speeding car.

Yu Qiu was instantly drenched by this sudden disaster. She stood there blankly, looking at Eiru beside her who had been completely shielded by the umbrella. Then she watched as the other girl easily closed the umbrella and wrapped the strap back around it.

Her brain had completely shut down.

“There’s nothing wrong with the umbrella. You just need to use a little more strength to close it. Little sister Yu Qiu, you should eat more food. How can you not even have the strength to close an umbrella?”

‘What difficult prank umbrella. As long as I use enough force, that solves everything.’

The little Demon Lord grinned as she returned the umbrella to her, then thoughtfully took out tissues and helped wipe the water off Yu Qiu’s clothes.

“Pranks like this, you can’t force them, and you can’t do them out of spite either. If you don’t know when to stop while you’re ahead, you might end up taking a huge loss.”
