What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?

(MC POV)

"Wow… It feels like forever since we last came back here…" Lian Li muttered while looking at my courtyard.

Hmm… I suppose it really does feel like a while since we've been back here.

Somehow I managed to avoid a fallout after I announced to everyone about the changes to the World. It seemed like it really was true that they took my words as gospel as no one raised a fuss, simply accepting it as it is.

I guess it was the right decision to make to avoid sparking off another cosmic war.

"Welcome back, Master," Sophia greeted me at the entrance. "Shall I prepare anything for you and your disciples?"

Diao Chan popped up beside me, "Oh yes! We're going to be really busy tonight, so could you help us prepare the usual?"

Ah… Really? That's the first thing you want to do when you get back?

Then again… I guess we haven't been doing it ever since the thing with Iris started so I can understand that everyone is quite pent up.

Oh well, guess I'll have to do my best to satisfy them tonight then.

Iris tilted her head, "Ara? Why wait till tonight? We can just get started right now, can't we?"

All of us turned to stare at Iris.

Diao Chan was the first to react, "You know… I like how she thinks now. Let's do it, Master!"

"Papa, do what?" Cai Hong asked while tugging on my hand.

I patted her head and assured her it was nothing before flicking both Iris and Diao Chan on the forehead.

"Ara, ara? So this is what it feels like to be punished by Master~ I can see why you are addicted to it, Diao Chan~" Iris giggled.

My Witch went up to grab Iris's hands in hers, "So you understand!! We can be sisters from now on and I'll teach you all about the joy of being punished by Master!! Leave it to me!"

I gave Diao Chan another flick on her forehead, "Don't go around teaching Iris weird things."

I suppose I should be glad that Iris already found someone she could get along with so quickly.

Just by looking at my disciples, I could tell that none of them were really accepting of her yet. Manami especially did not bother hiding her contempt of her which was evident in her tails remaining tense the entire time.

The others were a mix of wariness and nonchalance, which I guess was better than outright hostility.

Manami took the chance to come between the two of us, "Ara, ara? For someone who claims to know Master the most, aren't you aware that Master doesn't want us to talk about such topics while little Cai Hong is here?"

Iris smiled back at Manami, "Ufufu~ Do forgive me, Manami. I am still learning after all~"

"Ara? Then make sure you learn quickly before you inconvenience Master anymore than you already have~"

Ouch… Manami, you're really out to burn her huh? Did she do something to you while I wasn't here or is this just you feeling your 'big sister' position being threatened again?

Surprisingly, Iris didn't back down from her and actually stepped up towards my fox disciple, pressing her bosoms against hers.

"Ara, ara? Then I suppose I'll have to trouble my dear sister Manami to teach the inexperienced me~"

"Ufufu~ Then you better pay attention to what I teach you~ And you do not have the right to call me 'sister' either~"

"Ufufu~ My apologies~"

I could see the figurative sparks flying between the two of them.

I decided to leave them to it and turned to the rest of my disciples, "Why don't all of you go get settled in and I'll go bathe Cai Hong first?"

This was how it usually would be when we returned from a trip so everyone should already be used to such an arrangement.

Unexpectedly, however, Iris suddenly shifted into her child form and went up to grab my leg.

"Daddy~ Bath time~" She squealed.

Hnnngggg!!

You're not playing fair, Iris!! How am I supposed to reject something like that?!

My disciples were just as stunned as I was before Lian Li also shifted to her child form to hug my other leg.

"Da… Daddy!! Ba… Bath time!!"

Wa… Wait…

"Daddy!!"

"Ara~ Daddy~"

"Daddy, Daddy!!"

"Otou-samaaaa~"

"Chichiue! Bathe with me~"

Girls… Please… You can't do this… This is unfair…

"Ehehehe~ Bathe with Daddy~"

Diao Chan… Where do you think you're touching?

Anyway, I think I should stop them, I'm sure Cai Hong wouldn't want everyone to intrude on her bath time with--

"Bath time with sisters!!" The loli dragon cheered.

Ah… I guess it shouldn't be surprising that Cai Hong would be excited to bathe together with her big sisters.

She's so cute, headpats for you!!

"Da… Daddy…"

I looked down to see Brendan holding on to the edge of my sleeve with his face as red as a tomato.

Even you, Brendan?

Alright, alright, I suppose I can just bathe with everyone here, as long as no one here does anything weird during the bath time.

…

Oh what am I talking about, of course they will. Knowing my disciples, they will definitely take the chance to do something weird to me and then act innocent afterwards.

At least I should be able to control them as long as they don't do anything crazy and I believe they should only want to do wholesome stuff while in their child forms.

Well… All of them except Diao Chan that is, so I just need to watch out for her.

"Master…" A voice came from the side.

I looked there to see… A child version of Sophia looking back at me with sparkly eyes.

Right behind her were the other servants as well, all somehow also in their child forms.

Since when did all of you learn a Technique to change your body like this?! I'm pretty sure none of you could do this before!

Did all of you suddenly learn this just for today or something? Did all of you somehow know about the vacation World too? What the heck?

Oh whatever, I'll just make a few split bodies like usual and then pamper each of you individually, that should make you all happy right?

Just please don't do anything weird to me in the bath…

You know what… I actually prefer this.

No, no, not everyone turning into children, but the fact that there isn't some major threat or problem out there and my only concern was to make them happy.

Yeah, this is much more preferable as compared to all the big problems that I had been facing so far.

Is my plan to live an easy life finally back on track?
