(Manami POV)
Ufufufu~ Today is turning out to be a really good day!
Despite Master asking us to go back to the carriage, He never said we couldn't peek so that's what we did.
I connected with Alpha mentally and projected what she saw and heard onto one of the carriage's walls, allowing us to watch Master in all His glory.
Ara, ara? Just look at how magnanimous Master is! If it were us, we would've wiped them out from existence or just stick them in some underground cell to be tortured for the rest of eternity!
But Master allowed them all to live and even cut all of these trash out from their innocent families! What's more, Master even gave them a way out after serving their punishment via suicide!
Master truly is generous and kind~ What did we ever do to deserve such a wonderful Master like him?
Ara, ara? It seems that just thinking about it is making me go into heat again… Ufufufu~ I hope Master doesn't mind being a bit more forceful tonight~
Oh my, Master is done it seems, time to clean up and pretend we didn't see anything~
…
Ara, ara? I can't seem to stop smiling? Ufufufu~ That's no good~
At least my other sisters are also smiling too so we would look normal~
Ahhh~~ I can't stop smiling!!

(MC POV)
I told Alpha that we can set off now and proceeded to board the carriage with Iris.
What I didn't expect was for Cai Hong to leap into my arms the moment I opened the door, the little dragon hugging me tightly.
"Papa! Papa! Huggies!" She squealed.
Awww… So cute. Of course I had to give her the huggies she wanted.
I looked up to see all of my disciples smiling at me, no doubt also charmed by my little Cai Hong's cuteness which is completely understandable.
Who's the cutest girl here? Cai Hong is! Sooo cute! Head pats for you!
Ahem… Anyway… We should be going now… If everything goes to plan we should be reaching their capital city in the next few days and we can finally talk to the king and get him to spit out those Dark Sect idiots.
Although now that I think about it… I never actually considered what I'm going to do to make him hand them over to us…
Umm… Now would probably be a good time to think about it I guess?
I gathered my disciples around me and told them the problem I was worried about.
I was expecting them to suggest methods of solving this predicament but instead, all of them just tilted their heads at me in confusion.
"Eh? Umm… I don't understand the problem, Master?" Lian Li admitted.
I scratched my cheek, "Err… The problem is what I should do to get the king here to give up the Dark Sect over to us? Should we be offering favours? Money? Or something else?"
Diao Chan giggled, "Oh Master, did Guiying mention anything about us offering anything to them?"
I thought back on our conversation and frowned, "No… She only told me to go negotiate with them. We don't need them to pay reparations as long as they hand them over."
Manami smiled at me, "Ufufufu~ Does Master not get it? We were never supposed to offer anything to them. They are the ones who are supposed to offer us gifts in addition to handing the Dark Sect over. Who in this world can deny Master's request?"
Eris nodded her head and spoke in Bait's voice, "Yeah! Master's the head honcho ya know! This is your world! Like as if some silly little king can tell our master what ta' do!"
I scratched my head, "Umm… Well… I mean… Only you guys know that right? It's not like everyone in existence even knows about me being Origin. Scratch that, most people don't even know about Origin being a thing either. Also, just because I created the universe doesn't mean I rule over everything you know? Pretty sure I'm adopting a bystander kind of role instead of a ruler."
Iris chuckled, "Ufufufu~ All the other Gods certainly don't think that way, Master~"
I scowled at the cosmic entity standing behind me, "Why do you only speak for these things?"
"Ara, ara? But it's true, Master~ Any Gods who don't believe that have already been kicked out. It is natura, after all~"
Sighing to myself, I turned back to my disciples to realise all of them staring at me in shock.
Eh? Why are they looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?
"They… Don't know…" Brendan gasped.
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Don't know? Don't know what?"
Kiyomi shook herself out of her stupor, "Nothing Master… It's just that we just realised there was something we overlooked and we're a little in shock over it."
"Ye… Yes… Could we… Could we have a little bit of time to discuss among ourselves, Master?" Lian Li pleaded.
I don't see why not, so I told them to go ahead.
All of them got up and went to the corner of the room, leaving me alone with Cai Hong munching on a cookie on my lap and Iris still standing behind me.
Hmm… Something they overlooked? Like what? Iris being here? Oh, she still has that perception blocking thing up for herself right? Maybe I should do something about it since my disciples obviously look quite shocked from her appearance.
That's what they're shocked about right?
'Ufufufu~ Of course it is, Master~ Ufufufu~'
Yeah, that's what I thought. Hmm… I guess the main problem is that you attract too much attention with your perfect appearance… And there's no way I'm going to ask you to change yourself so… Oh I got it!
I snapped my fingers and a face veil appeared in my hand. The cloth was white and sheer enough that you could still see what was on the other side and it would only cover half of the face.
I created this with the ability of making anyone who wears it look 'normal', of course specifically designed for Iris. They will still be able to perceive her existence but she would seem 'normal' to them instead of looking like the perfect beauty that she was.
'Ara, ara? Even I can get embarrassed if Master praises me so much, you know?'
Shut up and put this on. You can drop your perception Ending thing after you do.
'Ufufufu~ For Master to create something specifically for me, of course I would accept it~'
Iris picked the veil from my hands and wore it around her face gingerly before smiling at me.
Even with the veil, she still looked like the perfect beauty to me but I know it would work on everyone else.
'Ehehehe~ Thank you Master~'
Right, should learn to control my thoughts since she can read them, anyway… Oh, Cai Hong finished her cookie and now she's dozing off, so cute!
Hmmm? Looks like my disciples are done so let's hear what they have to say now… They don't look surprised by Iris's presence anymore so that's proof the veil is working as intended, naturally.
