What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?
chapter-1232

"Patch me through to their commander! Make sure to use the open channel so everyone can hear us!!" Elaria commanded.

"Should I vacate this place?" I asked, figuring that this might be a better choice as I would be projected on their screen if I were to remain at where I was.

Elaria turned and tilted her head at me, "Eh? Why? Onii-sama can just stay there right?"

"But those people would see me on their screen too."

"I don't see a problem with that?"

I waved my hand at her, "No, no, no… How can a discussion between the two commanders of a fleet have some random person showing up behind them?"

"Eh? But you're not a 'random person', Onii-sama. You're my Onii-sama!!"

I should have expected such an answer from her…

Whatever, it's not like it matters anyway as long as she has fun, which was the point of this entire thing in the first place.

Our communications officer connected us to their flagship, opening up a channel to broadcast our request for a meeting.

A translucent screen appeared in front of Elaria showing a blob of blackish liquid that reminded me of a slime. It had no features aside from a navy captain's cap resting on what I suppose was its head.

Elaria crossed her arms and adopted an enraged expression on her face the moment the blob appeared.

"What is the meaning of this? I believe the agreement was to only have a single ship meet here. Why is there an armada on your side, Admiral Tom of the Inktyr Republic?!"

The black blob wobbled but since it had no face, it was hard to discern what its expression was just from sight alone.

"Ah, the Shogun of the Oni Empire. You really came, I see."

"Of course I did! Have we not discussed this? I'm here to receive your formal apology and compensation for daring to insult and threaten my Onii-sama!"

The top part of the blob tilted to the side a little, mimicking the action of tilting of the head, "Your… Onii-sama? What is that?"

"Ha?! You don't even know about the person you've insulted?!!"

"What? Does that matter? You aliens all look the same to us anyway. We only know you're some important person or something. Who cares? Besides, you're not going to leave here alive anyway."

Elaria tilted her chin up at the blob, "I am the Shogun of the Oni Empire! The very person who leads the entire Empire itself! Who do you think I am?!"

"Eh?? Then… Doesn't that mean you're the Empress?"

"What did you think my Shogun title was?! You bunch of backwater slimes! I bet you thought I was some minor nobility in the Empire didn't you?!!"

"Tch, now we really can't let you go. All ships commence bombardment!"

The screen quickly shut off and Elaria settled herself back on my lap, huffing in annoyance.

"Can you believe that, Onii-sama?! They didn't even do their research at all! And here I thought they were willing to go against me because they were actually intent on killing me! I might have more respect for them if that was the case!"

Right… In the galactic community, Elaria was actually quite infamous because of her ruthlessness. Yet, she was still a fair ruler, at least up to this point and ignoring the guy she executed earlier…

Nevertheless, it's still a fact that she managed to create a thriving and powerful empire in such a short time that many other galactic civilizations have come to see her with equal amounts of fear and respect.

That meant there were people around who thought that killing her might be a great idea to throw her empire into chaos and for them to swoop in to claim her territory just because the empire was still young.

But it seems like for this Inktyr Republic, they thought they were just dealing with some minor noble within the Empire and they could just take a chunk of territory for themselves after a minor skirmish.

Oh, in case you were wondering why neither of us seem concerned that we were being fired upon…

Various lasers and kinetic shells were exploding against the shield of our ship right now.

"Shield status?" Elaria asked with a bored tone.

"We're holding Shogun. Our shields are regenerating faster than they can deplete it."

"As I thought, stupid backwater blobs think they're big just because they took over some minor civilizations around them. Bet they didn't even bother checking the galactic map before trying to act tough with us. Tell me when they've stopped their bombardment."

"Yes Shogun!"

I was about to ask what she was intending to do when she turned herself to cuddle against my chest.

"Mmmm~ Perfect~ Could I ask for headpats too, Onii-sama?"

Well… There's no way I could say no so I started patting her head as she requested.

Right then, the door opened and a woman strolled in while yawning and stretching herself. Ah… It's the Odriana of this universe, my older sister.

She stopped mid stretch the moment she spotted Elaria cuddled against my chest.

"Oh? What's this? Has my little brother finally regained your memories?"

Elaria giggled, "Of course Onee-sama! Why else do you think we're like this now? Ehehehe~"

Odriana turned to me, "About time too. Do you know how worried everyone was? Our little sister here really did a lot of troublesome things while you weren't around you know? I was even beginning to lose hope myself. Why, that day when she took over the family, that man and brother had--"

"Ahhhh! Don't say it!!" Elaria cut her off.

Eh? It's not like I don't know about it… I learnt my lesson from Brendan's World you know? So I went to check everything while creating this World.

That's why I know the Elaria from this universe pretty much staged a coup in the kingdom after slaughtering the family she felt responsible for making me lose my memories, leaving only Mother and elder sister behind.

After gaining control of the entire continent, she focused on rapid industrialization and quickly expanded the empire within a few years.

Only then did she turn back to try and recover my memories of this universe's version of me.

Well, I shan't tell her that I know then.

"Shogun, they have stopped firing!" One of the officers informed us.

Elaria leapt to her feet, "Wahaha! Perfect!! The real exterminatus begins now!!"

She's really going to do it huh…
