Demon King – Chapter 98 – The Little Demon Lord’s Views on Love (Part 1)

Before long, a certain loli’s takeout arrived. Looking at the sparkling, expectant eyes of the girl in his arms, Yuki scratched his head and stood up.

“I’ll go get it for you. Stay here in the dorm…” Yuki said, just about to set off when his neck was suddenly embraced from behind.

“Don’t rush, I’ll go with you…” Rubbing against his neck affectionately like a kitten, the little demon lord gestured for him to wait while she went to put on socks.

“Why aren’t you wearing shoes…” After leaving, Yuki asked the loli on his back, puzzled why she was only wearing socks.

Hearing Yuki’s question, Her Majesty the Demon Lord released his neck, spread her wings, and floated leisurely beside him.

“So you’re planning to fly… aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Just as he asked this question, the girl suddenly covered his eyes with both hands.

Then, Yuki felt a warm current suddenly emerge from her somewhat cool small hands, gently covering his eyes.

“There…” Eiru released her hands, showing a mischievous, successful expression. “Now no one except you can see me~”

“Is this the illusion technique you mentioned? It feels like magic…”

“You can just think of it as magic… Like the horns on my head, I’m invisible now.” Flying around beside him, the little demon lord explained carelessly.

“Normally, I use the same method that I use with my ears to disguise them. As expected, compared to actually disguising it, making it invisible takes much less mana.

“Disguise? Save mana?” Yuki caught the key points in her words. “Can you disguise your entire body? Was the reason you passed out the other day because… your so-called mana bar was empty?”

“Mm, yeah. As for my appearance, it depends on the method… I can only really transform into a fixed form. If I want to look like other people, a disguise won’t work—I can only use illusions to interfere with others’ perception.”

“Simply put, a disguise works on me, and illusions work on others~” The little demon lord didn’t notice his thoughtful expression at all and explained on her own.

“Then… could you show me your disguised appearance?” After thinking with his chin in hand for a while, Yuki posed this question.

“Eh?” Eiru was stunned, “No no no, I won’t show you.” she said as she shook her head like a rattle.

Damn, I said too much… If this guy saw it, wouldn’t my identity be completely exposed? Thinking this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord flipped upside down before making a face at him.

“You’re exposed…” Looking at the loli’s skirt flipped down by gravity, Yuki blushed and looked away.

“Wah! Pervert! Creep!” Reminded by him, the little demon lord immediately adjusted her position, held down her skirt, and glared at him with both shame and anger on her face.

“Alright, alright, my fault, my fault…” Smiling awkwardly, Yuki was about to reach out and pat her head but was slapped away by the girl.

“I told you! Right now others can’t see me! At least pay attention to the surrounding gazes—they all think you’re interacting with nothing!”

Yuki was startled, then noticed the surrounding situation. Quite a few people were indeed pointing at him. If he listened carefully, he could hear them talking.

“What is he doing? Method acting?”

“Maybe he’s too stressed about studying?”

“Have you heard that some people can see things ordinary people can’t? Seventh High has a lot of ghost stories…”

“Give me a break. Every school has spread these kinds of things. Don’t bring up such creepy stuff…”

Partly from embarrassment and partly to let the girl eat lunch quickly, Yuki started walking faster. Her Majesty the Demon Lord floating nearby also hurried to follow.

“Honestly, you like this now gives me a feeling of… how to put it? A ghost behind me? A stand?” After getting the takeout, Yuki joked with the girl floating behind him.

“If I were a stand, the first thing I’d do is ora ora you.” Rolling her eyes at her buddy, Her Majesty the Demon Lord said disdainfully.

But speaking of which, I do seem to be able to stop time… though it takes a lot of mana—even using it once might be more than I can handle.

“What are you thinking about?” Seeing the girl looking thoughtful, Yuki asked with a smile.

“Thinking about how to retire you permanently later.” The little demon lord knocked on Yuki’s head. “Hurry back, I’m hungry. If you don’t hurry back, I’ll eat you instead.”

“Alright, alright, flat-chested and starving little demon lord. Aren’t we going back? We’re already downstairs…” As they spoke, the two had already returned to the bottom of the boys’ dormitory.

“By the way, do you have someone you like?” While waiting for the elevator, Yuki asked the question he’d been holding in for a long time.

The moment he asked, he somewhat regretted it. After all, asking so suddenly was rather hasty and abrupt, and he wasn’t ready to face her answer yet.

“Emmmmm… how should I put it? Someone I like… there definitely is, right?” The little demon lord floating in mid-air didn’t mind these things, touching her lips with her finger thoughtfully.

“But it depends on what kind of ‘like’ you mean. I personally have quite broad interests… I like handsome little brothers and pretty, cute little sisters.”

Yuki had some dark lines on his forehead. He felt like the things they’re talking about were completely different.

“But well, those are all just liking platonically. If you mean liking someone romantically, there’s none for now.” Her head suddenly appeared in front of Yuki, the little demon lord said with a smile.

Good, there’s a chance… a big chance! Getting the answer he wanted, Yuki was quite excited now.

“Honestly, I don’t even know what my sexual orientation is now… so for romantic love, there’s none for now.” Lazing around, Her Majesty the Demon Lord floated in mid-air, swimming around her buddy, her tone seeming somewhat troubled.

“Maybe you haven’t noticed? For instance, is there anything that makes you shy or makes your heart race?” Maybe the girl hadn’t noticed it herself? Thinking of this possibility, Yuki decided to probe deeper.

“That’s a normal reaction after intimate contact, okay? As long as it’s with someone I don’t hate, being too intimate will cause that reaction.” Eiru rolled her eyes at her buddy. “Just being shy or having my heart race doesn’t count as love, you bastard! Don’t underestimate love!”

“Love comes from the heart, not simply from something external.” Pointing at his chest with her finger, the little demon lord seriously lectured him.
