Chapter 32 – This Is What I Mean!

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating briefly. I moved my arm, which felt heavier than usual, and picked up the phone. The number 8:00 appeared on the screen, announcing that it was time for me to wake up.

Rolling my half awake head, I wondered why I had set the alarm. The answer that I came up with by squeezing out thoughts that were harder than usual in the morning was that there was a lecture this morning.

Even after waking up right now, washing up and having a quick meal, I still have 15 minutes to spare. Besides, even if you were 5 minutes late, the professor wouldn’t count you late. That meant 20 more minutes of lounging in bed.

I manipulated my phone to make the alarm go off. There was a possibility that I would be barely late, but that was me at the time. Sympathizing with the future that has yet to come, I closed my eyes.

“Um… “

Who do you think is in bed besides me?

I turned over against the wall and opened my eyes again. Then he gently turned his body and looked at the person who made the groan.

The Demon King was sleeping while lying on his back while looking at me. She pursed her drooling lips, frowning as if she were having a bad dream.

“Umuhmung, mang.”

Thanks to that, my sleepiness was completely gone. Why is he sleeping with me? Then, over the demon king, I was able to find a messy dining table.

I found a chicken box with chicken bones piled up, a bag of snacks left over from eating snacks, and beer cans all over the table. When I saw it, I remembered what had happened yesterday.

Yesterday, to commemorate his discharge, he had a chicken and beer party with the devil. That was the beginning of the incident. Doesn’t the demon king suddenly make a bomb liquor (the version of Lee Kyung-young of the insiders), doesn’t he sing a song out loud, and later even the police… I did all the nuisance I could do after drinking. Because of it, I couldn’t even drink much and it only stopped her from her rampage.

Fortunately, I was still wearing my sweatpants when I came here. If you made it that far… I didn’t even want to think about it anymore.

Putting her hand on her head aching from hangover and stress, she got down from the bed, taking the utmost care not to wake the demon lord.

Cold!

“!”

She landed her foot on a puddle of water on the floor. She suppressed the rising irritation and lowered her gaze. The liquid I stepped on was beer spilled from an empty can of beer.

“Ha… “

I looked at the demon king again. I wanted to wake her from squatting like a fetus on her bed. However, there were things that helped me in the meantime, and I couldn’t win if I fought, so I had no choice but to go to the bathroom without saying a word.

While going to the bathroom, I looked down at the dirty floor. The floor was full of beer cans. Moreover, there were chicken bones and cookie crumbs piled up between them, causing irritation.

Holding back the boiling anger, I entered the bathroom, stepping on the neatest place.

The bathroom was cleaner than expected. The only thing that got dirty was the soap that had been placed on the sink and had fallen on the floor.

Oh this is what I did

I bent over, put the soap back in place, and started brushing my teeth because of my stuffy mouth. Then I remembered that I left my phone, which I had brought as a habit, so I left the bathroom while brushing my teeth. As I walked towards the bed to pick up my phone, I saw the demon king stand up.

She looked at me, scratching her tousled silver hair. Looking at her eyes wide open, I asked in a slurred tone as I was brushing my teeth.

“Is this happening?”

“… Hmm”

The demon king responded with a short groan. Then, as if I was about to get up, I slowly got up,

“Town!”

She suddenly opened her blue eyes wide, and she covered her mouth with her hand as if having morning sickness.

Seeing that unusual appearance, I took the toothbrush out of my mouth.

“What’s the matter?”

“Oops!”

Instead of answering, she jumped out of bed and ran toward me. Then she pushed me into the bathroom.

Bang!

After her door slammed shut, she heard a voice in her agony.

“Ugh, uweeeee Whoa!”

There was a sound that a woman shouldn’t make in a room with a man.

Still, this was fine. I drank so much alcohol yesterday, but it was strange that I didn’t vomit because of a hangover. But the splashing sound it made as the contents dived into the toilet was really painful.

She was in so much pain that she couldn’t brush her teeth, so she leaned against the sink with both hands, holding a toothbrush in one of her hands.

Why the hell am I so mad at a girl like that? Oh, I feel weird…

Vomiting continued for several minutes, followed by the sound of a shower and then the door opened.

“Ah, sorry.”

The demon lord apologized to me in a weak voice, perhaps because he was having a hard time with a hangover. I turned to her and opened her bubbly mouth to say something to her. But this time, the demon king opened her eyes wide and closed the door, covering her mouth.

Bang!

“Wow! Wow! Wow!”

Now that I’m used to it, I finish brushing my teeth with tap water from the sink. After rinsing her mouth and washing her toothbrush, the demon king came out of the bathroom again.

“I’m sorry. The chicken you ate yesterday must have upset you.”

“What are you doing! It’s not that I’m sick, it’s that I’m hungover!”

I couldn’t stand her and yelled at her. At the same time, I was worried about the demon king, who had a haggard face unlike when I was drinking yesterday. I picked up a clean-looking mug in the sink and handed it over with water from the water purifier installed in the sink.

“Ruler.”

“Thank you. Gulp, gulp, gulp.”

The demon king emptied his glass at once, just like when he drank beer yesterday.

“Kyaa! Is your heart pounding at that kindness?”

She smiled as she lowered her glass with her refreshing exclamation.

Oh shit I heard the sound of vomiting just now, so why is my heart beating right now? Is it because you’re pretty? Is it like that?

I took the cup the demon king offered and filled it up again. After drinking that much water, I finally realized how thirsty I was. As she did, she emptied the glass at once and filled it with water. Then, the demon king next to him took away the cup.

“Hey!”

“I drank Jim once and you drank once, so isn’t it Jim’s turn now?”

While trying to refute, the demon king put his mouth on the cup. Seeing this, I grumbled and grabbed another cup.

Satisfying our thirst, we set our empty glasses down on the sink. I asked about the lecture while watching the demon king.

“Are you not having a lecture today?”

“Today?”

She pursed her lips in thought as she answered.

“Uhm, today is closed.”

“Nice, I have a lecture later.”

“Then you take a break too. Wouldn’t that be okay?”

“What?”

For a moment, I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Then the demon king opened her eyes wide and asked her face that he didn’t know that.

“You don’t know what I’m talking about? I’m telling you to take a leave of absence.”

“You’re just telling me to skip it!”

“Why? Isn’t the original duty of a college student to self-suspend classes?”

“I don’t know what it is, but I don’t think it is!”

“Haha! That joke was funny!”

“Isn’t that a joke?”

“Don’t be so angry.”

The demon king smiled naturally and passed between the beer cans and sat down on the bed.

“Isn’t autonomy emphasized in universities? Missing once or twice should be fine.”

“Have you already fallen? You have to take the diagnosis today and treat it!”

“It’s not something you have to do right away, is it? It should be done within this week.”

“Noisy! I will just do it today!”

“Then do it.”

She said it was nothing to do with her, and she laid her upper body on her bed as if she were going to fall. Then, moving her hand, he picked up her phone. I said to the demon king lying on the bed and using his smartphone.

“I’m leaving anyway, so clean up the room while I wash.”

“Eh? What about Jim?”

My words showed the face of the demon king with the corner of his mouth lowered as if he was unfair to me. Seeing such an impudent appearance, I cried out in amazement.

“Of course you! Don’t you remember when you were drunk and noisy? If you don’t want to be kicked out, get rid of it right away!”

“Then kick me out right now!”

“What?”

“Then you don’t have to clean it.”

“Oh little! I’m going to wash up, so clean up in the meantime!”

After I said that, I went straight to the bathroom. But as soon as I entered, what I saw was a toilet that hadn’t flushed.

“Isn’t the water pouring down!!”

“Can’t you just drop it off!”

“Ah!”

I lowered the toilet lever in anger. Looking at the toilet water going down, I thought that no matter how pretty a woman was, what was inside was the same.

Then I closed the door and pressed the small pin next to the doorknob. I locked the door so that the devil could not easily peek and started taking a shower.

While taking a shower, to my surprise, the Demon King didn’t touch me. All I had to do was knock and ask about separate collection.

After finishing the shower with a light heart, I applied lotion and left the bathroom. I didn’t see any beer cans on the floor.

“Has it come out?”

The Demon King asked while arranging the chicken box on the table.

“I’m preparing breakfast while you shower. Wait a little bit.”

He said it was breakfast. It was also breakfast prepared by the person he slept with (only). But I threatened her to get rid of it.

I muttered apologetically, and looked in the direction the demon lord was pointing.

“I can’t do that… “

I could see the pot spouting steam on the induction stove. When I opened the lid of the pot with anticipation, the empty water was boiling. And next to the pot, cup noodles caught my eye only then.

Also, the demon king was the demon king. I wasn’t the type to shower long enough to cook in the first place.

I quietly closed the lid, hiding my disappointment. I opened the drawer under the bed without expressing myself to the demon lord. I packed my clothes and went to the bathroom. It didn’t take much time to change into simple jeans and man to man. When I came out again, the demon king was pouring water into cup noodles.

“Have you changed? Then sit down and wait.”

After hearing that, I went to the table and sat down. While waiting for the king to bring cup noodles, I looked around the tidy room.

It was definitely cleaner than when I went to shower earlier. The first beer cans that caught my eye were put in a large plastic bag and organized. I found that the puddle of spilled beer on the floor was also wiped clean, even if the crumbs were still there.

“Ruler! I brought it!”

I said to the demon king who came with a small cup of cup noodles in both hands.

“Did you clean up better than you thought?”

“Isn’t it natural? Who cleaned it up.”

Demon King put down the cup noodles in front of me with an air of pride. Then, even the original metal chopsticks were placed next to the cup noodles.

It was like a wife preparing breakfast for her husband on his way to work. She looked even prettier when she, who already had her doll-like appearance, served her food.

“… “

“Hmm? Why would you do that?”

As I watched silently, the demon king asked with his blue eyes wide open.

“What are you looking at?”

“No, because you are so pretty. Uh? No! Not that!”

I looked at him without thinking and then I stopped speaking my mind.

While my face became hot and I was evasive, the demon king was not embarrassed and instead smiled at me.

“Yes? Isn’t Jim pretty? Ahahaha!”

The Demon King laughed heartily. I said as I took off the lid of the cup ramen to hide my embarrassment.

“Isn’t the ramen ready now?”

“I just added water. It’s okay not to be shy. Isn’t it shameful to tell the truth?”

Without answering that, he picked up his chopsticks and poked the noodles. As she said, it was hard because it was not ripe. I ignored that and chewed on the uncooked noodles. Looking at me like that, the demon king said.

“Look. None of the noodles are raw.”

“Noisy! This is what twist noodles are all about!”

Haha! Let it be like that!”

She smiled happily and looked at me with a happy expression as I was eating ramen.

I don’t even know how I ate ramen out of shame. I quickly ate my cup noodles and got up from my seat.

“Then I go.”

“Eh, are you going? How can you not take a break like Jim?”

“I don’t.”

“Are you missing out on a chance to be alone with such a pretty Jim?”

“Noisy!”

I took socks out of the bed drawer and put them on. I picked up the bag next to the desk, found the textbooks I threw on the desk, and put the things I needed for today’s lecture.

In the meantime, the demon king, who was eating cup noodles, asked.

“Is there another lecture after the lecture this morning?”

“No? Why?”

As she answered, she went to the sink. I picked up the toothbrush I had left there, and then I grabbed the toothpaste I didn’t know why in the sink and started brushing my teeth.

“If there is nothing today, let me tell you. Slurp!”

The Demon King drank the cup ramen soup coolly and continued.

“Let’s go shopping together.”

“Shopping? Why?”

“Well, let’s go see it then. It won’t be bad for you.”

Every time he said that, nothing good happened.

He doubted her and finished brushing her teeth. Now that I was completely ready to leave, I packed my bag and headed for the front door. While I was putting on my shoes, the demon king got up from eating and ran to me with quick steps.

As she approached with her silver hair shaking, she stopped in front of me and said.

“Take that trash away as you go.”

I picked up a trash bag full of beer cans. Then she looked up at me and smiled.

“Be careful with the car on the way out. Don’t follow me for candy.”

“What kind of errand am I a kid?”

“Even if they are friends with Jim, don’t follow them. Got it?”

“Noisy!”

“Ah! And!”

Suddenly, the demon king opened his arms and hugged me. I was taken aback by the action and stiffened.

A small body came into my arms and I felt a soft touch. Besides, I wouldn’t have washed it, but her sweet scent rose from the silver hair under my chin.

“Ruler.”

She let me go when she hugged me until my face became hot. The demon king asked if her hangover hadn’t healed yet, dyeing her face red and smiling with blue eyes.

“Does this look like a pretty new wife?”

I heard the sound earlier, and even when I saw the contents, my heart was pounding.

Ah, self-esteem.
