Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Chapter 317

“What are you trying to show off by walking back and forth?”

“I…” Shu Zhe wasn't sure how to respond to Ai Mi's sudden question.

Xiong YaoYue was still focused on eating ice cream, watching the event unfold while standing behind Ai Mi.

“Sis Yue Yue.” Shu Zhe pleaded for help from Xiong YaoYue, “Who is this child?”

“You're a child! Your entire family is all children!” Ai Mi yelled.

Actually, Ai Mi was twelve this year, so she was only younger than Shu Zhe by one year. But she does appear to be more childish than Shu Zhe, and she's only about 140cm (~4′ 7″) tall. It's possible people could even mistake her as an elementary school student.

After the class leader finished her conversation with the mall's manager, she heard someone insulting another person's family as children. Because she was still upset about the tiles, she glanced towards us like a hawk.

Ai Mi quivered and immediately hid behind Xiong YaoYue.

Xiong YaoYue was still focused on eating ice cream.

The class leader's anger dissipated slightly when she saw it was only a little girl. She put away her phone and walked towards her brother.

Ai Mi thought the class leader was coming to take care of her, so she immediately jumped behind my back.

“What's wrong?” I asked, “I thought you said you weren't afraid of anything other than lightning, getting lost, UV rays, and ball sports?”

I didn't include acrophobia because I also suffer from it to an extent.

Ai Mi didn't rebut me, instead, she grabbed the side of my body and only peeked her eyes out while trembling.

“I've seen these eyes before…”

Huh, the class leader's eyes? She does have piercing eyes, but there's no need to be this scared.

“When I was about 6 years old, right around the time before I won the California kid's beauty pageant, my mom hired a Russian sniper who serviced in the army, his name was Vasya…”

Another person from Russia. I remember Peng TouSi was also an underground Russian fighter before he came to America. Ai ShuQiao might have no interest in China, but it seems she really fancies Russia.

“Vasya was young and beautiful. At the time, I liked him a lot and thought it would be fine if I married him in the future…”

Wow, don't decide to get married that easily! Even if he's young, he's at least 20 years older than you. Why do loli's always long for cool, older brother types? I'm also older than you, why don't you look up to your real older brother?

Damn, what a scary development. Ai ShuQiao, stop hiring untrustworthy people to protect your daughter.

Then, Ai Mi timidly pointed at the class leader.

“Vasya's eyes at the time were very similar to hers.”

“If Peng TouSi didn't block the bullet for me, I would already be dead…”

“That's why you can't get close to people with these eyes, they are dangerous. Manservant, are you acquainted with her? Hurry up and end your relationship with her, because she will either kill you or break your heart.”

It seems that Vasya didn't get a happy ending. It was also sad that Ai Mi had to witness the end of a person she once liked.

But it's ridiculous to shift your childhood shadows on to the class leader. Even though the class leader does have sharp eyes and the ability of a sniper, she would never pull a gun without at least trying to use reason. Even if she did want to blast off someone's head, she would aim at someone like me who would feel her legs in secret rather than a loli like you.

But no matter what I said to Ai Mi, she refused to get closer to the class leader. Afterward, whenever Ai Mi would meet the class leader by chance, Ai Mi would always hide behind shelter, and that shelter would usually be me.

At this point, the class leader had already chatted with Xiong YaoYue and was able to find out that she was my relative's child and was able to speak two languages fluently because she was mixed-race.

The class leader switched to her usual genial expression but it was already too late.

She took a step towards Ai Mi and Ai Mi took a step back while pulling me with her.

The class leader bent down slightly to lower her height and greeted Ai Mi:

“Hey there, don't be scared. Can I pat your head, I can also help you braid your hair.”

“No way.” Ai Mi stuck out her tongue at the class leader, “You'll beat me to death.”

“Eh.” The class leader inspected her body with shock and didn't feel like she was dressed ferociously.

She came to a realization when she saw me standing between them.

“Did Ye Lin say something bad about me? Don't believe him, I'm a good person.”

Ai Mi snorted, “Liar, Ye Lin is the good person. You're a bad guy, a super-bad guy.”

I should really take a picture of the class leader's current expression and hang it up on a wall as a souvenir. I would laugh every time I see it.

Hahahaha, class leader, now you know how it feels to be wrongly accused! Good job, Ai Mi, no wonder you're my sister! I've never experienced a world where I'm the good guy and the class leader is the bad guy even in my dreams!

The class leader bit her lips with resentment when she saw me burst out laughing. But it made Ai Mi think the class leader was angry at her, so she hid her entire body behind me with fear and trepidation, it's not something that could be easily faked.

The class leader didn't give up easily when she was rejected by animals, so she came over and wanted to hold Ai Mi's hands. Ai Mi didn't want to be touched, so she started running around me while the class leader chased from behind.

Stop running around, I'm going to get dizzy. Go play tag somewhere else.

Perhaps the class leader thought I was an obstacle, so she tried to push me aside, but she hit right near my pant pockets.

“Class leader, you hit my egg.” I blurted.

The class leader couldn't look at me with any more contempt, she wanted to say something but swallowed her words when she saw Ai Mi hiding behind me with vigilance.

“Sister, let's buy shoes first.” Shu Zhe yelled at his sister, “You should try this pair of shoes the salesperson brought.”

“Coming.” The class leader replied with embarrassment and walked towards her younger brother.

The class leader's attitude towards her brother was even better than usual. It's probably because she's touched that her demanding brother would use his own allowance to buy her a pair of shoes.

Sigh, let's hope Shu Zhe will care for her sister from now on. Look at how touched your sister is when you offered her to buy a pair of shoes. You should cherish your sister and stop always thinking about money.

As I was deep in thought, Shu Zhe walked behind me and whispered:

“Bro Ye Lin, fortunately, I bumped into you. I found a good pair of shoes for ¥366, please give me another hundred.”

I can't believe the first thing you did was come ask for money. Even if it's all an act, at least be more cautious in front of your sister, I don't want her to know it was me who paid.

Xiong YaoYue finally finished eating, then she held her sticky hands in front of Shu Zhe and asked:

“Do you have any tissues? I forgot to bring some, lend me one.”

Shu Zhe handed over a tissue with a hint of revulsion. I remember he once emphasized to me that Xiong YaoYue was not his type. He said he wouldn't have a sense of security going out with a girl stronger than him.

I think any girl who goes out with you doesn't feel a sense of security. Gong CaiCai is the only person in class 2-3 who fits your standards.

“Let me use the tissue too.” I said.

I took the tissue from Xiong YaoYue, but I stuffed a hundred bill inside and handed it back to Shu Zhe. Shu Zhe sent me a smile as if he understood.

“Give me the ¥34 back later.” I told Shu Zhe.

Shu Zhe became unhappy when he heard, “I'm not returning it, let's consider it my errand fee.”

The class leader was currently trying on shoes, so I could only endure it because I didn't want her to hear me arguing with Shu Zhe.

Shu Zhe, who knew how to take advantage of the situation, stuck his hands in his pockets and walked to his sister with a smile.

“Is it a good fit? Let's buy it if it's a good fit.”

“I think it's a bit too expensive… the other pair that was ¥185 was already pretty good, there's also one on sale for ¥99 by the elevator…”

“No, you can't wear those cheap shoes or it would be embarrassing for me if someone else sees. I'm not going to eat dinner tonight if you buy the ¥99 shoes.”

“Okay, you can make the decisions today…” Even though she was rebuked by her own brother, she had a joyous look because her brother was buying her shoes with his own allowance.

Xiong YaoYue didn't notice when I passed the money to Shu Zhe with the tissues, but Ai Mi was able to see it from a lower angle.

“What's going on.” Ai Mi hid behind me and asked, “Manservant, did they threaten you? Did Katyusha say she'll shoot you if you don't give them money?”

Don't give the class leader a weird nickname, her name is Shu Sha, not Katyusha. Don't give a Russian nickname simply because she has similar eyes to Vasya!
