What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(Iris POV)

I felt immense satisfaction as I dodged the 'child' who thought he could tag me from behind, only to stumble when I side stepped his attempt.

The other 'children' were making noises in the background too.

"She's too good!!"

"No one has managed to catch her!"

"She's a pro at this game!"

"How is she so good?!"

Ufufufu~ Just look at these 'children' making such a fuss at something so simple. It truly highlights the difference in level between us~

I even limited myself by not relying on my Omniscience and Omnipotence and yet I'm still able to run circles around everyone.

And when Master was the one chasing me… I got an unexplainable sense of euphoria as I watched Master run after me from behind.

It was to the point that I caught myself smiling several times despite not meaning to.

Is this what it means to 'have fun'? Is this what 'fun' is?

If it is… It feels especially liberating!

This bliss… This feeling of euphoria… It's almost as good as when Master pats my head!

Ufufufufu~ I can see why beings would engage in such 'fun' now if this is the feeling they get from doing such activities~

It was such a shame that the game was finally declared over after a while by one of Master's split bodies, stating that it was time for sweets again.

In this entire 'game', I had only been tagged that one time and never again afterwards. It really highlights the difference between myself and these 'children'.

I wouldn't be surprised if they resented me for such a thing now.

Instead of dispersing however, most of them immediately ran towards me and I only just managed to restrain myself from Ending them when Omniscience told me that they were not coming to hurt me.

"You're so cool, sister!"

"Oh man… I tried my best too and I couldn't even tag you. You're too good!"

"How did you dodge like that without even using your powers?"

"Can I call you big sis from now on?!"

Ara?

Each and every one of them was showing an awestruck expression on their faces, something I had definitely not seen directed at me before.

Usually everyone I meet would either not acknowledge my presence because I do not allow them to or they will show fear or despair if they are able to comprehend my existence. Even these 'children' of Master were no different.

Under normal circumstances, these 'children' would be bowing their heads and being exceptionally polite to me while maintaining a distance between us. Most of the time they would even avoid talking to me altogether which was something I had wished for them to do since I have no interest in them.

Yet right now, all of them were not treating me like I was The End but instead, like I was simply one of their other siblings who had come to this World to be with Master.

Because of that, I was at a loss on how I should react to this situation. Do I have to act like them as well, or should I just remain as I am?

Before I could use Omniscience to find out which choice would be the better one, Master's split body got our attention by clapping His hands.

"Alright now~ We have cookies, cakes, puddings, pies and candies~ Come and take your pick before they're gone~"

The 'children' immediately dispersed and ran towards the tables that were filled with the sweets, saving me from the dilemma.

The 'child' who had been dragging me around from the start managed to reach me now that the crowd had dispersed, looking at me with a smug grin.

"How was it? You had fun right?" She asked.

I nodded my head slightly, "I admit… It was… Entertaining."

"Ehehe~ You can just say you had fun you know? I saw you were even laughing and smiling during the game!"

I was surprised at her words, "I… Laughed?"

"Yeah! And it was a really nice laugh too! It sounded so angelic and calming~ It's almost like Daddy made it such that your laughs were perfect! I think that's why so many of them tried to catch you since they wanted you to laugh more too!"

Did I… Did I really laugh? I had no recollection of such a thing happening though?

Using Omniscience, I looked through the past to verify the truth of her words and sure enough… There I was… Laughing while MAster was chasing after me, clear as day.

The curious thing wasn't the fact that I laughed, it was the emotions that were happening behind the laughter.

This wasn't the first time I laughed as I have definitely made sounds similar to laughing before, especially as an act to display my amusement at something.

I knew from the start that it was a way to connect with other beings as well since humour was something I used to manipulate some existences before.

But for this laughter I did… It was just pure, unbridled joy that sparked the laughter, something I had never done or experienced before.

I used my Omniscience to peek at Master's disciples, wondering if what they were experiencing was also something 'fun'.

Unsurprisingly, each and every one of them either looked extremely blissful or were having the time of their lives playing with Master.

Now that I knew what to look for, I could easily tell that they were having 'fun' while being with Master.

I turned my attention back to the 'child' when she started prodding my arm with a finger, "Admit it~ You had fun right? So how about let's go find more games to play! I think you'll also have lots of fun there too! There's nothing wrong with having fun, right? Should we go play some more?"

That's right… I'm experiencing so many new things in such a short time in this place, including realising all these new emotions that I never thought I had. This 'fun' also fills me up with so much joy that I feel especially fulfilled too.

It should be fine to just indulge in this, right?

…

That's probably what some weak willed being would probably say.

But at this point, I think enough time has passed that I could use what I've prepared after understanding how this World worked.

"I'm sorry, but I think I may want to just play by myself for a while, is it alright if I meet you back here later on?"

Her face lit up, "Of course, of course! Ehehe~ I'm just happy you agreed to spend time with me! In that case, see you later!"

She ran off while waving at me which prompted me to wave back.

Only when she was out of sight did I turn to walk out of the park.

"Bring me to Master," I requested the split body of Master that had appeared beside me.

"Oh, little Iris still wants to see me? Alright then~ Take my hand~"

I took Master's hand without complaint, allowing Him to guide me towards the main castle where the main body of Master was.

Wait for me, Master, I'm coming~

No more distractions this time~
