I'm just a demon king who loves to fish anyway season iii

32. A couple by the river

It was early in the morning, clearly a while before morning study, when Yuhi arrived at the classroom and found that almost all the students in the class were already there. After all, sophomore year was already a preparation for senior year, and not many people dared to continue to be as foolish as they had been in freshman year. Not to mention the fact that this was a top class, and the pressure of competition was much greater than in other classes.

After sitting down and looking around the classroom, there was only one empty seat left in the class except for Ziyu and Jia Qi, who hadn't arrived yet to buy breakfast - yes, the one next to You Xi.

    ""Yu Xi smacked his lips in displeasure, this little girl really left him here alone, huh? A few days, come and keep me company? Of course, Yuushi was aware of the special situation of Erolu's body. That girl was treating the blue bar like a blood bar, so if she was really allowed to stay in class every day, there would be more trouble.

    "I can't find another student from the top class who skipped class..." sighed Asahi, who was sitting in front of Yuhi, "No wonder Xiao Ming doesn't see him once a year, I've seen it. "

    "But you're all alone, I feel sorry for you, do you want me to sit next to you? "Although this smiling mouth, but Asahi dust still remain sitting in the same position, no intention to leave their seats.

    "No, you're coming over here, and it's your sister who's all alone." Yuushi coughed lightly twice in return, although he hadn't taken the other person's words seriously that is.

    He was prepared to be alone for two years anyway, so it was better than having her share a table with someone else. With that in mind, Yuhi gathered his books in front of him and prepared to start his morning study.

    --Segmentation--

"Strange, why haven't I seen Ru today?" The little devil who had come to the dam of the Huangkong River had failed to spot a certain familiar figure today. Usually, that girl would sneak here even before she did, and Erolu even wondered if she lived here by the river.

    She's a kid who doesn't go to school and is here before eight in the morning.

    "Could it be that her parents caught her sneaking out too many times? Mensho ...." At the thought, Erolu covered her mouth and let out a giggle. The reason is that when she was a child, Elu had sneaked out of the house a lot, and when she couldn't find her grandfather and uncle, they were so angry that they locked her in the house the next day 【so being locked up is something that Her Highness the Demon King feels very strongly about.

    "Little girl, why do I see you wandering around here every day? While a certain silver-haired loli was humiliating herself there, an older man who was doing the cleaning next to her suddenly struck up a conversation with her.

    "Ah, uncle, how are you so early?" Having been here every day for the past few days, the little devil knew that the other person was in charge of cleaning in the area, and waved in response.

    "You say you are at this age, these days not to school are skulking here your parents do not care to control you? It's important to study, girl. My son can't even find a job at home because he doesn't study properly, and he does nothing all day. My son can't even find a job at home because he doesn't study properly.

    "Well don't worry, I won't lose my grades," Eroi spat out her tongue mischievously, and looking at her like that, the cleaning lady shook her head helplessly.

    "Forget it I don't care about you, studying is your own business, no one can help you go over there and play, I'm going to clean this side." "Okay~" replied the little devil and ran off da-da-da after all it's not good to interfere with people's work.

But it was hard to get used to the absence of Rui. On the stone bench, Erolu propped her chin on her hands, having gotten to know Liru well over the past few days, she was a bit uncomfortable with the absence of the other side for a while.

    "You can also run away like I did when you were locked up~ But I'm a fierce man and she's a loli, so you can't generalize... Wait, what's the situation?" While muttering, His Highness suddenly noticed a couple looking like a couple coming to the guardrail of the river dam not far away.

    As mentioned earlier, it was possible to go down the stairs to the river from the dam of the Huanggang River. However, for safety reasons, the river dam is equipped with a guardrail, so that no one is allowed to go down to the river under normal circumstances.

    However, Elu would see a staff member who maintained the area, holding a set of keys to the couple and after briefly explaining something, helped them open the guardrail door

    "Strange, isn't it not given down?" Erolu felt that something was sinister, after all, those two couples didn't look like the staff who managed the river dam either, there was no reason why they could get permission to go down, right?

    "Huh? Ru?" Rubbing her eyes, Erolu noticed a small figure behind the two couples.

    A family of three? I think so. As she watched the trio make their way down the stairs of the river dam to the river, Her Highness had a few guesses in mind. Unlike her usual self, today's Liru, who was following her parents, was exceptionally well behaved and quiet. Although she doesn't usually make a lot of noise, today she was a bit too quiet.

    The three of them walked along the riverside in silence, and they didn't have any conversation with each other along the way. It was neither like they were taking a walk, nor like they were checking on work or anything.

    Leaning over the railing and silently watching the three walking below, Erolu felt that this family's actions were more like some kind of ritual rehearsal?

    "Uncle, what are they doing?" It was just as well that the cleaning lady came over here, so the little devil simply turned to the other side and asked - after all, they worked here every day, so they must know something inside.

    "They ah they're here to pay their respects." Following Eroku's line of sight down the river, the janitorial master also saw the couple by the river.

Just as Her Highness the Demon King had thought, the cleaning master worked here every day and was naturally no stranger to the couple. Even those who lived in this area knew of the existence of such a couple.

    "About seven or eight years ago, right? There was a child who fell into the river around here, and so far no one has found that poor baby who is the child of those two people down there." The cleaning lady sighed and spoke to Elu about the inside story.

    After the authorities had announced the child's disappearance and abandoned the search, the couple continued to search for their child like crazy, using all their connections and abilities.

    But even after spending a lot of money and resources, they could not get a single result. Even the officials could not find their child's whereabouts, so what could they do with their own abilities? In the end, they had to slowly accept the reality.

    Although there was no hope, the matter became a hurdle for the couple to overcome. So whenever they had time, they would come to the river to pay their respects to their child.

    The management staff of the river dam were aware of this, so they opened a back door for them - as long as the weather was okay and safety was guaranteed, the couple were given permission to go down to the river to pay their respects to their child who had passed away.
