What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes? - zChapter 1294: The Sun And Moon Meets

(MC POV)

I told Kiyomi everything while Eris ate her pie and her hot chocolate slowly.

“I see… And Master Lin took care of everything?”

“Hmm… Of course I did. Who do you think I am?”

She gave me a wry smile, “Master Lin, you truly have a talent for this, would you like to help out with our story department next year?”

I grinned, “You think I made all of this up, don’t you?”

“Kukuku~ You failed to consider one thing, Master Lin. Why would the real Master Lin of Heaven Sect start up a small business like this? Other Practitioners would have surely heard about this and flocked here by now and yet, all of your customers are normal non-Practitioners.”

“Mmm… But have you thought maybe I hid my identity before coming here?”

“Oh? Is the real Master Lin of Heaven Sect that much of a prankster?”

“I wouldn’t say prankster but more of wanting to stay low profile.”

“Kukuku~ Very likely indeed~”

Obviously Kiyomi was not buying the possibility of me being the actual Master Lin of Heaven Sect and believes that the only thing similar between the two of us were our surnames.

Eris knew that I was the real deal but I placed my finger on her lips when she wanted to vouch for me so that she knew I did not mind Kiyomi not believing me.

The reason why was that something was about to happen really soon which would occupy Kiyomi’s attention more than this would.

“Darling? Do we need more… Ara?”

Manami froze the moment she walked out of the kitchen and saw her little sister seated at the counter.

Kiyomi also stopped mid-sip of her tea and her eyes went as wide as saucers when she saw her elder sister standing behind me.

I tried to act clueless and gestured to the both of them, “Ah, I think this is the first time you’re meeting each other but Manami, this is Kiyomi. Kiyomi, this is Manami. Incidentally, both of you have sisters that each of you are actively avoiding because both of you don’t think that you’re good enough for your other sibling.”

Kiyomi immediately caught on to what I was insinuating, “You knew?! You knew that she was here all along?!”

I shrugged, “She’s a customer like you, or at least she was before this.”

“No, no, I can’t! I can’t do this!” Manami cried, turning back to try and run back into the kitchen.

Unfortunately for her, an invisible wall had already been created by me and she simply bounced off the wall to fall back into my arms. Oh, don’t worry, I made it such that the wall was soft so it was like bouncing off a wall made of rubber.

At the same time, Kiyomi also tried to scurry away from us and ran towards the door, only to bounce off another invisible wall that I made to block her from running away.

Of course, I was there to catch her as well when she fell by creating a clone of me, turning her around to face her still bewildered sister.

“Now, now. I don’t think it’s good to run away from the sister that both of you have been missing for so long, right? Shouldn’t both of you say something to each other first?”

Kiyomi looked at my clone then at me, “You… You have a twin?!”

I chuckled and snapped my fingers, causing my clone to dematerialise.

“Don’t run away again, ok? I already set up a barrier around here which I won’t lift until the two of you at least had a talk with each other.”

Kiyomi scowled, “How dare you?! I will not be caged like a… A…”

Her voice trailed off as soon as she realised that Manami only had a single tail hanging behind her.

“Elder sister? What happened… To your tails?”

Manami hesitated for a moment, her tail drooping even lower before curling up so that she could hug it in her hands.

“I… I suppose things can’t get any worse now… I lost them…” She sighed.

Kiyomi blinked at her, “You… Lost them? H… How?”

“I… Made a mistake… An accident… And I crippled myself… The result is losing all but one of my tails and almost all of my power…”

“What… What about our village?”

“I… Without my power… Our chief was killed by monsters and I could not protect her… So I was driven out from there.”

“You… You did not come to me?”

Manami showed her a sad smile, “How could I? I’m the elder sister who has fallen from grace. My dearest little sister has become a star shining brightly in the sky. It would be a sin for me to take that away from you.”

Kiyomi rushed up to her sister and hugged her, using her tails to wrap around Manami protectively.

As a fox youkai herself, she knew better than anyone else how important their own tails were to them. Now that she also knew that Manami also had the same sentiments as her while also having lost her tails and power, she was clearer than anyone else on how much suffering Manami had gone through.

“Oh my dear elder sister… You should not have shouldered such burdens on your own… I would have welcomed you in a heartbeat.”

Manami giggled, “Fufu… And yet there you were trying to run away when you saw me.”

“Ah… I’m sorry… That might not have been completely true… But I would still have welcomed elder sister if I knew about this.”

“Ara, ara? And here I thought you were so embarrassed of me which led you to run away like that.”

“Never! Dear elder sister will never be an embarrassment for me! Even… Even if you were to lose everything… I will never turn my back on you. Without elder sister’s guidance back then, I would be nothing.”

“Ufufufu~ Really? I was so sure that you were going to say that your current success was all due to Master Lin, isn’t it?”

Kiyomi flushed before she pulled back to look at Manami, “How… How did you know?”

“Ufufufu~ I’ve been hearing some things here and there~”

Hmm? Wait a minute… Did I ever tell her that? I don’t think I did…

Does that mean Lian Li told her about Kiyomi just now?

I turned to see Lian Li peeking from the doorframe smiling at the two fox sisters hugging each other.

Yep, she definitely did.

Well… At least the two sisters are reunited here again so this is their problem closed, right?
