(MC POV)
I looked at the blushing girl in front of me as she squirmed cutely.
"So… It's finally your turn?" I grinned at Lian Li.
She poked her fingers together shyly, "Umm… Yes, Master."
"Mmm… In that case, is there anywhere you wish to go?"
"Umm… I'm not sure where we could go, Master. Are there any interesting Universes out there for the two of us?"
I thought for a moment, "That depends on what you would like to do with me I suppose? Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?"
"Ehehehe~ Would it be cheesy for me to say that anything is fine with Master?"
"You wouldn't be the first one to say it at least, but let me think… What might be your ideal scenario with me?"
She looked around, as though checking to see if any one else was listening in to our conversation.
Seeing that the rest were busy, she then leaned in close to me and whispered, "I've fantasised of being Master's only one where the both of us are running a shop of some sort together as a couple~"
Huh… Coincidentally, she wants the same thing as Manami did too.
While Manami and I ended up making an onsen resort, I wondered what Lian Li and I would make?
I used my omniscience to search through the universes to see just what kind of alternate realities there were of Lian Li and myself.
Hmmm… Oh, that's interesting.
I turned to Lian Li, "Did you have dreams of opening up a pastry or coffee shop of some kind?"
She gasped, "Oh my gosh!! That sounds like an absolute dream, Master!! Can we do that?"
"Ahaha, of course we can. Before we go, do you have any requests?"
"Ooohh~ What kind of request can I male, Master?"
"Anything at all. It's supposed to be our date, after all."
Lian Li made a squealing sound of delight, "Could I ask that there's no one else in existence in that World aside from us?!"
"Umm… That's an option, yes. Do you want that?"
"Oh, not at all! I was just asking to check the limits of what I could ask for, ehe~"
She's really cute, so I gave her a head pat.
She squirmed cutely, "Ehehehe~ In that case… Could I ask that everyone else also be included in our World somehow?"
I blinked at her, "Everyone else… As in all of your sisters and Brendan too? I thought you wanted to be my only one?"
"Oh! What I meant was for them to be involved with us in some way~ But I would be the only one married to you, Master!"
"Hmm… I get it. I can alter the reality of that World to make their fates entwined with us in some way where we are at least on the level of close acquaintances if not friends?"
"Oh!! That would be perfect, Master! Let's do that!"
Mmm… That can be easily done so let's see which one's the most interesting one amongst all the alternate universes while making sure each of my disciples also somehow have their lives entwined with ours.
With a simple thought, the World was created and I reached out my hand to Lian Li in order to transport us there.
I thought she would grab my hand immediately but she paused right as her hand hovered over mine, as though waiting for something.
She then giggled before I felt the concept of space shift around us and all of a sudden, the rest of my disciples appeared around me with their hands outstretched below Lian Li's.
She then pressed her hand down, causing everyone to place their hands on top of mine and sending all of us to the newly created World.
Eh? Wait… Why did she do that?
When my vision came back into focus, I found myself looking up at an unfamiliar ceiling in a bed that I did not recognise.
The person lying next to me with her arm draped over my chest in the nude was definitely someone I recognised though.
"Lian Li…" I called out, lifting up a hand to poke her on the cheek. "Lian Li, wake up…"
"Mnngghh… Is it time to open up the shop yet?" She asked groggily.
Her question made me look at the window instinctively which I supposed was something that the me of this World would always do.
I turned back to her, "Not yet but--"
She moved up to kiss me on the lips before snuggling into my shoulder, "Then five more minutes, Darling~ Mmmm… Let me cuddle just a little longer~"
I poked her on the cheek, "Come on Lian Li… I wanted to ask you what you did that for?"
"Mnnn… Because I love you, Dearling… Mnn… I want another kiss…"
I kissed her before pulling back, "I love you too, but it's not about the kiss… It's about why you sent everyone else here as well."
She yawned before tilting her head up to look at me with half-lidded eyes, "What are you talking about, Darling? Did you have a weird dream?"
Before I could try and remind her of what happened in the original World a few moments ago, the door to our room burst open with a loud bang.
"Papa!! Mama!! Wakey, wakey!!"
Cai Hong ran into the room and leapt on top of our bed, bouncing up and down on the mattress in her extremely cute onesie pyjamas that had a miniature dragon head as a hood that went over her head.
"It's morning, Papa! Mama! Cai Hong wakey! Papa, Mama wakey?"
Oh, so in this World, Cai Hong was Lian Li's daughter instead of Iris's?
"I'm awake," I told the loli dragon, which immediately prompted her to dive under my blanket to snuggle in between Lian Li and myself.
"Wheee~ Cai Hong want cuddles with Papa and Mama!"
Ughh… There's no way I can say no to such cuteness!
Lian Li also seemed to take that as a sign to cuddle even closer to me so that Cai Hong was wrapped up in between us.
"Ehehe~ Isn't this great, Darling? We can afford to just spend five more minutes in bed, can't we?"
"Yayyyy~ Cai Hong cuddles with Papa and Mama!"
Ugh… There's definitely no way I could deny them when they're both making such cute faces at me!
Mmhmm… Finding out what happened can come later, cuddles come first!
