III. Identity disclosure! His Royal Highness the Great Crisis!

In any case, the doors and windows were locked and there were security bars on the outside of the windows. A real attempt to break in would make enough noise to wake up the whole building. These people shouldn't be so stupid as to do that ......

If they do break in, the worst thing that can happen is simply to beat the group up. As long as she had enough magic power, Erolu would have no problem catching a nuclear weapon in her face ...... let alone a few ordinary trespassers.

To be honest, Erolu did not take those people outside the door seriously at all. These measures were taken purely to avoid unnecessary trouble ......

Back on the bed, Erolu lay on her side with her doll in her arms. She adjusted the position of her wings so that she wouldn't roll over in the middle of the night and crush them.

She hadn't paid attention to this before, but when she fell asleep, she rolled over in the middle of the night and broke one of her wings ......

At that time, she woke up in pain. Looking at the half of her wing that was bent and drooping, Erolu could only endure the pain and fix the half of her wing to the wooden board.

It was impossible to go to a doctor, secondly, it was unlikely that a doctor would know how to handle a wing ...... so she had to do it herself.

Luckily it was a holiday and she did not need to go out, so she could recuperate at home in peace. Her Highness spent these two miserable weeks in pain ......

From then on, Erolu paid attention to her sleeping position and the positioning of her wings. I really don't want to suffer this kind of pain again ......

After adjusting her sleeping posture and the position of her wings, and skillfully using her tail to turn off the lamp in front of her bed, the demon lord curled up and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, several sneaky figures arrived in the corridor in front of Erolu's house.

After checking the secret code left by the man who had set up the spot, the men did not target her nest. Instead, they gathered at the door of the house opposite Erolu's ......

In the early morning, Her Highness the Demon King, who was about to complete a kill in her dream, was shamefully killed by the opposite party amidst a sharp knock on the door.

Awakened from his dream, Erolu rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly climbed out of bed.

"Is anyone there?" The knock on the door was a few more sharper.

"Coming ......" came the breathless response as Erolu, not yet fully awake, dragged his wings and tail behind him as he slowly lumbered to the door.

Taking off the security chain, Erolu slowly unlocked the door and slowly pushed it open. When he saw who was coming, Erolu's whole body was stunned.

There was a police officer standing at the door, and the landlord's grandfather was standing next to him. Upon seeing Erolu, the two men outside the door also stared.

"Little sister, do you live here alone?" Good breeding allowed the officer at the door to quickly adjust back to the situation and gently squatted down, addressing Erolu inquiringly.

"No, it's supposed to be that jerk Erolu who lives here. No one else ......" The landlord's grandfather took over before Erolu could say anything.

"Then the boy ......" Standing up and frowning, the officer looked at the girl in front of him in slight thought.

"I did hear something about that Erolu bastard not living a very good life. I can't say which one is the daughter of another wrecked girl, it's a pity that such a watery girl oh ......"

But this is too small, right? The officer's face was a little ugly as he looked at Erolu, who was about four meters in front of him.

Erolu listened to the two men's conversation, but her face was stunned. What the hell? What the hell am I doing to myself?

Wrong, the first thing to do was to think of a way to get past it. I should have known to turn back into a boy before opening the door, how would this end?

"What is your relationship with the occupant here, little sister? Did he do anything to you?"

"Huh? No. ...... Just a friend I've known since. Staying for a while, he's not home right now ......" Erolu, who was still thinking of a response, answered in a bit of a panic as her thoughts were disrupted by the sudden question.

"Not at home? I saw him come back yesterday, and I didn't see him go out." The landlord was puzzled by this; after all, if anyone had gone out, he must have been able to see it.

"This ......" For a moment, she didn't know how to explain it, and nodding her fingers, Erolu looked away, not daring to look directly at the two men before her.

The attentive officer noticed a hint of something amiss. The tail behind Erolu, which was resting on the ground, was swinging from side to side with a slight amplitude.

I thought it was a prop used by the young man for cosplay, so it seemed that things were not so simple ......

The Eru, who was still thinking about how to muddle through, didn't realize it. The small movement of her own tail, caused by panic, had caught the attention of the officer in front of her.

"Tell you what, old man, you go down and rest. I'll ask the girl a few questions and then leave ...... What do you think?"

Looking at the performance of the girl in front of him, the landlord subconsciously thought that the girl was a bit afraid of people. So he agreed to the officer's suggestion and left a step ahead.

"So little sister, can you let uncle sit inside for a while?"

"Ah ...... good. Please come in ......" Thinking that there should be no problem, Erolu gave up a position and allowed the other man to visit.

Looking around the room, he didn't find anything wrong. The officer then sat down on the sofa after receiving Erolu's permission.

"Would you like some tea? I'll make you a pot?" Erolu's mind was still abashed.

"No, just a few questions will be fine." The officer waved his hand, refusing the other man's kind offer. Then he pulled out took out a pen and a pamphlet.

"Did you go out last night?"

"No ...... have been staying here."

"So ...... then do you know what happened here last night?"

"Not sure ...... what happened?"

With the officer's explanation, Erolu finally understood how it had started.

Last night in the middle of the night, the notorious home invasion gang in the East End had committed another crime. This time, the victim lived across the street from Erolu.

The victim was seriously injured by the gang and is still in hospital, unable to give any clues. So it was only possible to go door\-to\-door, accompanied by the landlord, to ask if anyone could give any clues.

"So you are staying temporarily in the home of this man named Erolu. And the other person went out last night and hasn't returned yet, right?"

"Yes ......"

"Okay then, I'll ask another question ......"

"You ask it is ......"

"You, little sister, are not human, are you?"

"??!" Erolu was startled and took a few steps back as a whole. "You you you ...... don't talk nonsense."

"That tail behind you doesn't look like a prop. Just now at the door, but it was swinging there all the time, it's totally a living thing."

"This ...... me ...... that ......," Erolu was already so flustered she couldn't even speak properly.

"Calm down, sit down ......" Seeing Erolu's panicked look, the officer hurriedly spoke up to calm her down.

It took a while for her to calm down. Holding her knees and bowing her head, she sat quietly to the side, keeping her distance from the officer.

"So, you're really not human, are you?"

"Can you help me keep this a secret? I don't harm people ......" In a thin, inaudible voice, His Highness the Demon King was as abashed as a little kitten at the moment.

"So, when did you live here."

Still writing something in that pamphlet, the officer asked the next question. It was as if he hadn't heard Erolu's plea.

"Three years ago ...... You're not going to do anything to me, are you?"

"That will depend on your answer, it's the first time I've come into contact with an intelligent creature other than a human."

"Goooooo ......"

"And, because you lied. The previous records are voided and all questions will have to be asked again."

"Eh? I didn't ...... I'm honest." Raising her head, Eiru raised her voice a few notches to argue.

"You're that Erolu right?" The officer in front of him poked at Erolu's former lie without mercy.

"Yes ......" Poked right in the face, Erolu lowered her small head, her voice reverting back to an inaudible whisper.

"Age?"

"Sixteen."

"Did you go out last night?"

"No. ......"

"What were you doing at the time of the incident?"

"Sleeping ......"

Next, the officer asked Erolu several more questions. All of them were about Erolu's family situation and living conditions.

"One last question. Have you seen any suspicious people or heard any strange noises in the past two days?"

Just as she was about to answer no, Erolu suddenly remembered the people she saw at the window last night and the conversations she heard.

"It seems that there is ......" Then, Erolu told the other party what she had seen and the conversation she had heard last night.

Although Erolu couldn't quite remember the appearance of the man that she saw last night, she could still say that it provided quite a useful clue.

"Thank you for your cooperation ......" Having finished asking the questions, the officer stood up and seemed ready to leave.

"That, I ......" Seeing the other man's intention to leave, Erolu raised her head, her tail wagging uneasily behind her.

Before she could get the words out, the officer tore off a slip of paper and handed it to Eiru.

"My contact information, call me at this number if you have any problems."

"Eh? Can you keep my secret!" There was a sort of hijacked excitement, and the small tail behind him showed Erolu's current mood, waving in the air.

"For now ...... the main thing right now is that gang of perpetrators. I'll deal with yours when their problems are solved."

"Oooh ......" At the splash of cold water, Eiru lowered her head in loss, even her wing tails drooped quickly.

The officer snorted out a laugh at this reaction from Erolu. This child's mood is really good to understand ...... reached out and stroked Erolu's little head ......

"Girls should be safe when living alone and don't be targeted by people with bad intentions. If you have any problems, call me, got it?"

"Yeah ......"

"By the way, should I tell your family?" Walking to the door, the officer suddenly remembered something and turned back to Eroi and asked.

"Better not, after all, I'm not human ...... the fewer people who know, the less trouble there will be."

"In that case, although not clear about the specifics, I do suggest you come clean with your family sooner."

"One more word, some things are better handled by adults. After all, you are still a child. Even if you keep it to yourself, there will always be things that you can't handle."

"Remember to call and let me know if there's a problem." After gesturing for a phone call, he left the small room.

"Okay, thank you." Eyeing the other man, Erolu gave a smile.

After the other man had closed the door behind him, Erolu's entire body slumped down on the couch with a look of relief after a robbery.

After this lesson, Erolu would never open the door for someone in her native state next time.

It was a good weekend and I wanted to go to bed. But this was a shock, and there was no more sleep.

Our Demon King, scared out of her mind, had to go to the bathroom to wash up and start her new day ......
