104 Nie Yao

Yin Yu returned to his classroom after he finished his errand on the weapon store.

The moment Yin Yu entered the classroom, a girl Yin Yu recognize turned her heads and look at him and turn to look at the book again after seeing that it's Yin Yu.

There's no one inside the classroom other than the girl. After all, it's an hour break time, and many people have something better to do other than staying listlessly in the classroom.

The girl is, fortunately, someone Yin Yu recognizes --- Nie Yao, the girl who possesses Demon King Physique, and as the name implies, she's cold and detached like a demon. Even so, after reminded by her attitude when she's inside an illusion, Yin Yu figured that the girl who he saw right now is fake persona created by her.

"Hey Yao, want some sweets?"

Since Nie Yao sit beside him, and Yin Yu apparently didn't have any stuff to do, he decides to greet Nie Yao like a friend and took out some sweets that are given by his parents.

"No need."

Nie Yao eyes flicker a little when she saw the sweets Yin Yu put on the table, even so, her eyes only flicker a little as she turns her attention to the book again.

"Well, no worries… I have a lot, take some if you want it."

With that, Yin Yu continue to put varieties of sweets such as cake, dumpling, candy, and the other on the table and start to eat them one by one…

"Ah…this is delicious after all…I almost forget that sweets exist after a month on that snow mountain…"

Yin Yu words make Nie Yao turn to look at the sweets on the table again.

Desires of wanting to taste all of the sweets she never eats before raised inside her, yet she can't eat it now! She even starts to wonder whether Yin Yu shares his sweets is all to torture her as he knows she'll not take even one of those sweets!

"Take all of that ju-!! "

"Here eat this…"

Yin Yu say as he put a piece of cake on her mouth.

"Mbfumofummmmmmm….delicious!!! Sweets are delicious after all!"

"Delicious right?"

Nie Yao immediately screams in happiness as soon as the cake enters her mouth while Yin Yu smile in satisfaction because he has revealed her hidden side.

"This cake…it's homemade for sure…do you make it!? H-how did you make this cake?"

"Hmhm…although I didn't personally make it, I'm the one that gives the idea about it, while my mother is the one who bakes it for me."

"Y-you are the one who gives the idea to make this brown cake…you…are you God?"

"Hmph, I'm no mere God, I'm a King! The King of Catastrophe!"

"Indeed…my mouth is in catastrophe right now…it's delicious! Give me more of your catastrophe!!!"

"Hehehe! You understand it well! Here you can have this one too. It's called Strawberry Shortcake and…"

With that, Yin Yu start to discuss various things about sweets with Nie Yao.

***

"Forget it…."

"Hm…what is it?"

"Forget everything from earlier…"

"I can't hear you…"

"Forget it please!"

The once empty classroom has been filled once again, and Nie Yao who comes back into her sense after sensing another person inside the classroom immediately stops her action. She remembers everything she has done when she's alone with Yin Yu after a while, but Yin Yu keep playing the fool which makes her frustrated, even so, Yin Yu finally give up playing with her after seeing she's about to cry.

"Heh, no worries…someone as great as me wouldn't let his sidekick suffer, that's why I'll not tell the others."

"Sidekick? Since when do I become one!?"

Everyone in the class turns to look at Yin Yu and Nie Yao who has been loud for a while now, only to receive a glare from Nie Yao to make them cower in fear.

"Did you forget the promise we make 10000 years ago…wait…that demon must seal you--"

"I haven't even lived that long yet and how can a normal demon seal someone with a demon king physique like me!?"

"Haha, I'm joking...but still Demon King huh…Demon Queen is more fitting than Demon King, right? You're a girl after all...so, why not call it Demon Queen Phy--sique…."

Yin Yu look at the sky after he mutters that words. The words Demon Queen do rouse some of his memories. Memories of distant past, yet unforgettable at the same times, memories that make him want to go back, but he knows it's impossible now.

'Demon Queen…I wonder how she and the other is right now…'

Yin Yu sigh when he remembers his past again, and turn to look at Nie Yao face, whose face now overlapped with the Demon Queen he knows and smile at her.

"You lost against Yiyan in the last match right?"

"Yiyan? You mean the Black Fire Witch?"

"Black Fire Witch? That's what you guys call her?"

"Yeah, didn't you know she burns an entire forest once when we fight on the snow mountain?"

Yin Yu think for a while and remember that at the time he's at the Snow Mountain, a smell of burnt things wake him up at night, only to see an entire forest far from his location disappear overnight.

"So that's what happening back then...wait…that's the nickname you guys when we're on the snow mountain right? Then…did I have a nickname too?"

Yin Yu throw the word she wants to say to the back of his mind after hearing the matter regarding nickname and happily ask Nie Yao while remembering every deed he has done in the Snow Mountain.

He has done well in guiding a lot of kids in the snow mountain and he has also shared a lot of food with them, there should be a nickname for him too right?

'What is it? The Wise Teacher because I guide a lot of people? Demonic Teacher because I punish those who didn't want to learn? Peacemaker because I stop two teams from beating each other? or Food Saint because I selflessly share my food?'

"Your nickname…now that you mention it…there's one person with a weapon description that's the same as your weapon…"

"What is it! Tell me what is it!"

Excitement filled Yin Yu, as he didn't expect that he has gain popularity even before he officially joins the class! He wonders about the many nicknames that are fitting of his action, then Nie Yao looks at him weirdly and replied.

"I think everyone calls you…"

"Don't say that!"

Some of the students who overheard their conversation shout out loud to stop Nie Yao. At first, they didn't remember it, but because Nie Yao mentions something about weapons, all of the students who have met Yin Yu at snow mountains before starts to get panicked. Yet Nie Yao didn't stop her words and keep saying it.

"Demon Jerkies, A girl with a scythe-like weapon as if she's a demon, appear out of nowhere and beat everyone who displeases her while preaching nonsense which is regarded as Demonic since they will die in the real world if they heard her suggestion. She also loves to share demonic jerkies that can make people vomit, but people who're hungry need to bear with it and eat it all to survive. All in all...for them, you're a jerk hence Demon JERKies."

"Eh…?"

'We're doomed!!'
