Chapter 1205 We're Going Back To Theatre

(MC POV)

True enough, the girls returned quite late in the night and were already here when morning came.

I was quite curious about where they went and they simply told me that they went to explore around the place and meet some new people.

I was wondering who these 'new people' were and where exactly the 'place' they mentioned was but I felt like I should just leave it and not scrutinize over them so much especially since they were taking the initiative to do things on their own.

What's mode,I already decided that I would be going to create a World of my own as something that I 'wanted' to do too.

Just as I was wondering whose turn it was for the next date event, Kiyomi showed up in front of me with her usual stoic expression.

"Oh? Hello Kiyomi~ So you're next for our date?"

"That is correct, Master. We decided to draw lots yesterday since it was hard to determine who goes after who next."

I suppose that's true since their fights pretty much took place simultaneously, so it's not like there's a clear winner amongst those remaining that they could easily decide who goes after who.

Putting that aside, it seems like Kiyomi had also followed her sister's example by neutralising the effects of her mating season for today since she hasn't jumped on me to start making out with me yet.

At least, that's what I believe… Even though one of her tails had curled itself around my waist possessively.

"So is there anything you'd like to do or somewhere you'd like to go?" I asked.

Kiyomi nodded, "I had been thinking, Master… That it might be nice if I were to experience what it's like to… Perhaps… Have my own theatre troupe instead of just being a part of one."

"Ahaha~ So you want to be your own boss, right?"

"Yes, with Master alongside me, of course."

"Hmm… Funny you should say that because I see a number of universes with this exact scenario~ Any other requests to narrow down the search?"

"Unnn… What is the most interesting one to Master?"

"Truth be told, each of them has their own special circumstances. There's one where I did not accept any disciples and merely joined you as a business partner, there's another where we were married as well, then another where I never pursued the path of a Practitioner and we ended up being fellow actors before starting our own troupe. There's several others too but do you want me to list them all?."

"In that case… Could Master just create a new World with all the interesting parts added together?"

What a coincidence, I was already intending to do that with my new World so this would serve as good practice for me. Although the problem with this would be deciding which parts are the interesting things to add.

Let's see… Let's take that… Maybe this… Leave that out… Combine this… Oh, can't forget that as well… Not so sure about this so let's just add it in anyway… Maybe a little bit of that and done!

…

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Why does it feel like I'm making some weird salad instead of an actual World?

Oh whatever…

I snapped my fingers and created another World in that alternate space once again before stretching my palm towards her.

Kiyomi showed no hesitation and took it, allowing me to transport the both of us to the newly created World.

For this World in particular, I figured that I would need to give Kiyomi a rather unfair advantage of having more time for this date since the highlight of it would be a performance that would be happening in a few days.

To deal with that, I intentionally sped up the flow of time in this World so that we could finish our date using the same amount of 'actual' time as the others.

What can I say? Time is relative.

The both of us woke up in bed with our hands entwined, giving me a sense of deja vu.

The only difference was that there was no ring on our fingers.

"Unnn… This might take some getting used to…" Kiyomi groaned while pushing herself up, her hand still holding on to mine.

She must be referring to how she was integrating the 'memories' of this World's version of Kiyomi's with her own.

I agree that it would take some time to get used to that feeling since you're basically seeing yourself live another life as well. The good thing was that I already had practice with it, so I could adapt to the feeling better.

"Don't try to combine the memories. Isolate them and then separate them into their own group of memories. You'll be able to sort through them easier and you'll just need to access the memories you need instead of everything all at once."

Kiyomi nodded and closed her eyes to concentrate for a moment, her grip on my hand tightening slightly to show that she was concentrating.

A short moment passed before she opened her eyes again, turning to see me with clearer eyes.

"It seems like we have a big performance planned in three days?" She asked.

"Mmhmm~ And we'll be coordinating everything too. Technically, all the groundwork has been done and all that's left is the rehearsals and taking care of the actual location itself. Do you think you are up for it?"

A small smile appeared on her face, "Oh? Is that a challenge, Master?"

"It could be. These are the busiest days for you, after all. Anything that can go wrong would be the hardest to solve within this time so it really is dependent on your skill to solve them."

I intentionally left the part that she still had access to her own divinity out since I believe she would appreciate the challenge more.

Sure enough, her lips curled up into a feral smile and she jumped out of bed while still in the nude.

"Watch me, Master. Not only will I overcome any challenges that might happen in this production, I'll even make it twice as good as this version of me might have!"

Oh~ That's Kiyomi for you, she wasn't even daunted in the slightest with my challenge. That's good because…

At that very moment, the door to our room burst open and Chuya, the slime girl that was part of Kiyomi's former acting troupe, rushed into the room.

"Sister Kiyomi! Big trouble!! The place we rented out to rehearse burned down last night!! Plus one of the supporting actors got thrown in the dungeons for disturbing the peace yesterday! He won't be released until after the performance date! What do we-- Ack! Whoops! Sorry! I'll wait for you to get dressed outside!!"

The slime girl scurried out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

Kiyomi then turned to me, only to see me smiling back at her.

"Challenge accepted, Master."

Oh, that's my Kiyomi for you~
