What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes?

Chapter 474 - How Many Times Do I Need To Say I Do Not Want To Be King?

(MC POV)

”And I got on a horse and rode back here.”

”Oh, very smart Brendan. Iʼm actually really impressed,” I praised my alchemist honestly, clapping him on the back.

Diao Chan wasnʼt as impressed though, ”If Brendan was a little bit stronger, they wouldnʼt have grabbed you from the start.”

To that, Brendan could only smile wryly and scratch his head, a little embarrassed.

”I never really did figure out who they were though,” Brendan admitted. ”All I could guess was that they are most likely not from Beiyang. They didnʼt even mention why they kidnapped me.”

”They wanted the healing pill, Brendan,” I explained. ”They couldnʼt get it through me so they wanted to get it from you instead.”

”Eh? How did they even… Oh… Forgive me, Master… I used the healing pill I made to save someone in the forest… That must be how they knew I could make it…”

I shook my head, ”Itʼs not your fault, saving someone in need is commendable. The fault lies with me for failing to protect you.”

”N… No, itʼs definitely not Masterʼs fault! If only…”

I reached up and patted his head, ”Itʼs alright, Brendan. I do not blame you.”

”Master… Thank you,” Brendan bowed his head.

”Kyaaa~~ If only Onee-sama was here!” Elaria commented unnecessarily from the side.

”So what was this thing about people wanting Masterʼs healing pill?” Lian Li asked, bringing the conversation back.

I scratched my chin, ”Hmm… I know that the country of Mei wants it because the first prince is afflicted with some kind of illness that can only be cured with it. As for the other two countries, I can only speculate.”

Kiyomi crossed her arms, ”Itʼs obvious that the Sun country only wants it for money. Their entire country is built upon it, after all.”

I nodded, ”I wouldnʼt be surprised if thatʼs the case. As for the country of Han, they probably want it as a material for research.”

”Ara, ara? That reminds me, what happened to the girl Master had an interest in?” Manami asked with a mischievous smile.

”Another girl?”

”Master is interested in?”

”Another sister?”

”Is she pretty?”

”How is she like?”

”Papa, huggies?”

My other disciples immediately started bombarding my fox disciple with questions.

Except for Cai Hong, whom I dutifully gave her the requested huggi-- I mean hugs.

I raised my hand, ”Ok, ok, calm down. Itʼs not what you think. Manami, Kiyomi and I went to the Sunʼs capital city and they were selling slaves at the auction house. It just so happens that I saw someone I met before being auctioned as a slave.”

Lian Li looked up from where she had been hugging my arm, the golden haired girl having taken advantage of the situation to snuggle up to me, ”Oh, what happened to her? Did Master not buy her?”

”Well… Letʼs just say that her and I did not know each other well enough to be even on speaking terms. Also, sheʼs quite the troublesome one…”

Kiyomi nodded, ”She had the power to fight her way out of the auction before flying off. How she even got caught as a slave in the first place is a mystery.”

”Hmmm? So she managed to run away?” Eris asked.

”Blasted the walls open and incapacitated the guards that tried to stop her,” I told her. ”She then flew out of the city and disappeared.”

Elaria grinned, ”Should I send some people to search for her, Onii-sama?”

I shook my head, ”Sheʼs not worth it, really. Donʼt need to trouble yourselves over it.”

”Mmm… If Master says so,” Lian Li hummed before burying her face back into my arm.

That prompted the other girls to come up and hug me too, all of them snuggling into my embrace.

I sighed contentedly, ”Itʼs nice that everything is quiet now.”

”Wonʼt those three inf… Three countries send more people to come back and pester Master again?” Manami pointed out, seemingly more concerned that they would disturb our time together than anything else.

”Oh, donʼt worry, I took care of that. Unless theyʼre really, really dumb and incompetent, there shouldnʼt be anyone coming up to our doors to ask us for it for at least two weeks,” I assured them.

Diao Chan frowned, ”That means theyʼll come back after two weeks? Should we go and do something and make sure they donʼt come back ever again?”

I patted her head, ”Well, itʼs not like I donʼt understand why theyʼre so desperate for it. The pill is quite valuable after all so asking them to forget about it is quite impossible. I suppose if they are nice enough, I might consider selling them one or two.”

Hey, itʼs another possible source of income, I ainʼt going to say no to that.
