What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(MC POV)

I kept going until Manami passed out with an especially contented look on her face.

Figuring that this would be a good time to end our date, I brought her back to our original World to tuck her into her own bed.

When I appeared back in my courtyard with Manami in my arms, I realised that the place was unexpectedly quiet.

Too quiet.

Where is everyone? It's not even that late at night yet, right?

I carried Manami to my disciples' room, expecting them to be there instead, but what greeted me was a completely empty room without anyone inside.

Eh? Did they all decide to go somewhere today or something?

Hmm… I suppose I did tell them to take it easy for the next few days and I didn't exactly say how long each date might be… So perhaps my disciples decided to take everyone and go on a trip somewhere or something?

Well first things first, I moved the blanket aside and tucked Manami into her own bed, my red fox mumbling something about being filled up with cream as I covered her with the blanket.

With her safe in bed, I went back out and shut the door behind me, careful not to make a sound.

I then moved a distance away from the building before whispering a single name, "Iris."

"Ara, ara? You called for me, Master?" The person in question appeared out of thin air by my side.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"Ufufufu~ Everyone is on a trip, Master. Since you told them to take it easy, they decided to go and do some exploring on their own~ No need to worry though, they will be back by tomorrow morning~"

Well, I'm not that worried about them actually, but it's good to know where they are at least.

"I suppose they took Cai Hong and even the servants with them as well?"

"Ufufufu~ That's right, Master~ They couldn't leave the little one on her own or she might get upset~ Plus, they felt it would be nice to bring everyone along with them."

That is true. But well, I guess since no one is around, we can call it an early night?

"Ara, ara? How about we do something in the meantime, Master?"

"Hmm? Sure, but what do you have in mind?"

"Ufufufu~ I was thinking that maybe we can do something Master might want for a change?"

I tilted my head at her, "What do you mean?"

"Hasn't Master been doing everything for everyone else lately? I think Master should spend some time on yourself as well~"

Oh? I have to be honest here, I never thought I would hear something like that from you, Iris.

Iris giggled, "Ufufufu~ It might look that way but I'm more used to seeing Master doing whatever you want, you know? This side of Master is actually still new to me."

Ah… Now that she mentioned it… That's actually true…

The past me simply went from place to place with no attachments to anything. I didn't even ask Iris for her opinion on where we should go or what we should do, I simply just did whatever I felt like doing.

But now that I have so many people to take care of, I keep putting everyone into consideration whenever I do something to the point that it's been quite a while since I went to do something purely because I wanted to do it.

There haven't been any problems so far since I have been fine with whatever everyone wanted to do all this while. But now that I'm left by myself, I find that I'm at a loss on what to do.

Then again, my main goal has been to lead a relaxing and stress free life and that dream has met with so many hurdles that I've lost track of it several times.

Who knew that I would be involved in so many crazy things after making that wish several years ago?

"Ufufufu~ So what does Master wish to do?"

Hmm… If you were to ask me like that… Nothing actually comes to mind to be honest. My immediate plans had been to take my disciples out on a date to wherever they wanted to go, but aside from that I've got nothing.

What do you do when you have all the power in existence, really?

Now that I'm thinking about it, the different versions of me in those alternate universes seemed to be working on active goals themselves, something that I appear to be lacking.

Iris tilted her head at me, "In that case, Master could simply emulate the one that Master thinks is the most interesting, right?"

"Hmm… But that's an issue by itself since to me, all of them feel interesting… Plus I would be going to these Worlds with my disciples anyway, right?"

"Ara, ara? Then perhaps… What has Master always wanted to do but never got the chance to? There's no need to be shy~"

If you put it that way…

Hmm… I suppose I never actually got to be normal? If that makes sense?

Iris's smile widened, "Ara, ara? I suppose it is indeed impossible for Master to be mundane, isn't it?"

That's one way to put it… But to be honest, it's not like I have a wish to be mundane in the first place. As much as I want a simple life, I do not wish for it to be repetitive and boring after all.

If I was to live everyday like that, then I would pretty much go insane from boredom.

"In that case, Master… Could I offer a suggestion of my own?"

I nodded at her, wondering just what Iris had in mind.

"Perhaps Master could try creating another World of your own? Make it however you liked and shape it however you see fit? Make something new again and see it grow with your own hands?"

Oh! Just like those gods who created and manage their own Worlds right? They would create Worlds and leave it there while they watched over their denizens and maybe even interact with them from time to time. Some of them might even completely avoid interaction altogether and occupy the role of a simple observer!

I may have already made a World of my own but that was just meant as a vacation World for the divines of this universe with no plans of changing, so that doesn't count.

This actually sounds like an interesting idea!

In fact, I have a way to make that even better! I'll go ahead and experience the other alternate Worlds with my disciples and incorporate all the interesting things I find into this new World that I would create on my own!

That's it! Let's do that!

You're a genius, Iris!

"Ufufufu~ Master is the one who created me after all~ Maybe Master can start with the base of the World first?"

Yep, let's do that first! Here's some headpats for you, Iris!

"Ara, ara? Master really spoils me too much~ I'm not complaining though, ufufufu~"

Who knows? This might actually be the solution to my easy life goal! I just lay back and watch the denizens of my new World live and evolve without me having to do anything!
