What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(MC POV)

I don't know exactly how many fragments this guy absorbed but it was definitely quite a significant amount.

This time, I even felt like the universe shook a little when I finished absorbing them, though nothing else happened after that so I wasn't sure if I imagined it.

With that done, I lifted the restriction I placed on this World, making sure to wipe out all traces of my meddling before I searched for the Origin of my original timeline.

Ok… Just need to double check the end point… The events leading up to the timeline… Make sure if I were to change the World nothing huge would be affected… Alright! Time travel!!

I watched the World around me collapse into itself, blanking out into darkness before suddenly expanding out again.

"It seems like the people of this Plane truly are trash…"

I blinked and looked around, trying to remember what was going on.

Someone was smashed into the wall and my disciples were looking at him with clear disdain.

It took me a moment before I remembered that my disciples were dealing with some random stall owner or something.

Hmm… Looks like he was selling weapons? What did he do to provoke my disciples though?

Actually, I don't really care so let's just move on.

'Ara, ara? Welcome back, Master~'

Iris huh? Figured that you would realise what happened. I'm surprised you didn't answer me when I called for you in the other timeline.

'Ara? Was Master calling out to me? I apologise but Master had created a barrier around your world that stopped any forms of Origin leaving that World, so I was unable to receive any messages either since I wasn't inside the World at that time."

Ah. My bad, I didn't think that would happen.

'Ufufufu~ That is entirely my fault, Master, not yours. But I assume Master has already dealt with that trash?'

Yeah, I'm more surprised that he even managed to gather that many Origin fragments with how incompetent he was. He must be either really, really lucky or someone was helping him gather them.

'Fufufu~ Master needs to remember that Usurpers have access to the power of Origin, even someone incompetent is able to wreck havoc with such a power. Naturally, when faced with you, that power pales in comparison, of course~'

Hmm… Is that why you didn't even bother erasing him?

'There was no point after all~ Such a piece of trash would never be able to hurt Master~ Besides, as much of a trash he was, a part of Master was still contained within him. I cannot bear to hurt that.'

I see… Oh well, whatever. Where were we? Ah, right, we were exploring this bazaar with… Err… Who are these two again?

'Who, Master?'

The two people that look like they are following us?

'Ara? I don't know, Master. I never paid attention to these things before. I have only recognised these beings as moving sacks of flesh after all.'

Ah right, I forgot that's how she views others…

Hmm… I think they were… Oh right, Master Hei and Sect Mistress Hua, can't believe I forgot about them.

Must be because of the time I spent in the other timeline. That was quite traumatising… I think? Was it really? Oh whatever, I don't think it's that important anyway, I should just focus on the present.

"Now, apologise to our Master."

I looked up to see Lian Li shoving that man from earlier to kneel down in front of me.

"Ufufufu~ If you're sincere enough, we may even let you go mercifully~" Manami giggled.

Memories of both girls trying to kill each other resurfaced unbidden in my mind and I quickly tossed that memory away. I'm so glad they didn't turn out to be yanderes like those two in this timeline.

Seriously, I'm really curious how I managed to make them into such wonderfully cute disciples in this timeline. Just look at them! Absolutely adorable! I just want to give them headpats!

"I… I apologise… Senior…"

Why is this random guy kneeling in front of me and making noises? Can't you see I'm busy admiring my disciples' cuteness?

Whatever, he's apologising so he's seeking redemption or something, right?

"You're forgiven. Do live a better life next time," I told him before waving my hand over his head.

In that instant, his Origins were altered and he was made to be reborn again somewhere else. Now he can go and have his redemption with his new life.

Eh? Why is everyone looking at me weirdly?

"Master… What did you do?" Kiyomi asked, staring at the spot where the man had been originally.

"Hmm? Nothing much. I just made him get reborn somewhere else so that he can live a new life to repent for his sins… I think?"

Everyone else fell silent at my words.

Lian Li gasped, "He was reborn?"

"Yeah. I figured that the best way for him to redeem himself is to just live a new life."

"Master can… Do that?" Lian Li asked.

"Hmm? Of course I can. Such a thing is easy for me, actually."

Kiyomi wrapped her tail around my arm, "Master… Do you mind if we were to go somewhere private and make love?"

Oh right, Kiyomi gets turned on from displays of power, I forgot about that.

I cleared my throat, "Maybe later. We're in the middle of exploring the bazaar right? Let's just look around first. After all, we did rope in… Err… Sect Mistress Huang? No, that's not right… Sect Mistress Hua, yes. We did rope in Sect Mistress Hua to guide us around after all."

All of us turned back to look at the woman in question who was hanging her head down while shivering uncontrollably.

Hmmm? Why is she like that? Is she sick or something?

"S… Senior… No… Divine One… I sincerely apologise for my transgressions… I will accept any punishment you see fit to inflict on me… Just please let my Sect go…"

I tilted my head at her, "Why do you assume that I even care about you? You're just here to guide us, aren't you? I couldn't care less about your Sect either."

"I… I understand… A Divine Being would most definitely not care about someone insignificant as I am… Please allow me to fulfil my role in guiding dear Divines in your tour here… Should anything displease you, allow me to rectify it immediately."

What's with her attitude all of a sudden? If something were to displease me in some way then all I need to do is just fix it by thinking about it…

No, no, wait a minute, she's our host right? So yeah, it makes sense that she would help us solve these kinds of problems… Yeah… That's right…

How odd of me to even think the opposite… Why are you so happy, Iris?

'Ara? I just like watching Master, that's all~'

Umm… I suppose so… Now… Err… I guess we can just continue our tour?

Speaking of which… Why are there so many random people around here and why are they all watching us? Don't they have better things to do?

This place is so weird…
