What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?
chapter-315

(MC POV)

The Kraken reared one of its many tentacles, clearly intending to smash our little ship for our offense of hooking it.

I was thinking of what I can do with it so it took me a second longer to deploy the barrier that deflected its tentacle away from us, letting it smash harmlessly into the water.

"Master!" My disciples yelled out in alarm.

I raised my hand and waved at them casually, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. You guys can just continue with your thing."

The girls still look a little worried but my smile reassured them enough to let them return to what they were doing before.

The Kraken reared two of its tentacles this time, probably thinking using more force would break through the barrier.

Unfortunately for it, the attack yielded similar results.

"Papa? Big fishie, catch?" Cai Hong pointed, not at all afraid of the giant monster in front of her.

I scratched my chin, "Mmm… Yes, I was just thinking how it would best be served… Sushi? Or… Ah. I got it."

The Kraken tried to pick the ship up with one of its tentacles but Imade a slashing motion with my hand before it could.

The air blade sliced through its limb cleanly and I stored the giant tentacle into my storage ring before it could sink to the bottom of the sea.

It took a second for the Kraken to register its pain, the monster thrashing its limbs around the water in every direction.

We were still protected by my barrier so there was no worry about it affecting us, even the waves that its thrashing generated simply went around my barrier without affecting us.

I was giving it the chance to run with its life since I already got what I wanted.

Unfortunately, I seem to have expected too much from it since it tried to attack again, using another of its tentacles to try and sweep us away from the side this time.

I reached out my hand and froze it, snapping that particular limb off its body before it could even reach five metres of us.

The frozen tentacle sunk into the watery depths and I took the chance to store it into my ring as well.

Probably blinded with rage, the Kraken still tried to attack us, lifting two more of its tentacles into the air to smash down on top of us.

Really now, does it not know that it is insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting things to change?

Deciding that I could do with a bit of a flair, I summoned my greatsword and hefted it over my shoulder, using the thrusters to blast myself up into the air before performing a somersault.

The blade easily cut through both of the tentacles and sent them crashing down on both sides of our ship, giving me the perfect 'crashing waves' background as I landed back on the ship's deck with a three point landing.

Of course, I did not forget to store those two tentacles in my ring as well.

Cai Hong was clapping enthusiastically and jumping up and down at my display, "Papa! So cool!"

Heh, of course I did that for my dear disciples' entertainment. We are, after all, on a vacation are we not?

Come on now, comparing the Kraken to that other abyssal tentacle monster? The Kraken's basically a neutered chihuahua that only knows how to bark compared to that thing, there was no danger from the start.

At this point, the Kraken seemed to have understood how outmatched it was and stopped its attacks, swimming a few meters back.

Its eyes lowered to glare at me and I held its gaze, lifting an eyebrow to dare it to try something again.

It lifted the tentacles that were cut off into the air, the wound was already in the midst of closing up and they would regenerate new ones if left undisturbed for several days.

The Kraken turned its gaze towards its chopped off appendages before looking back at me, as though asking for compensation.

I simply tilted my head and frowned in response. It must be delusional to think it will get something for attacking us like that.

Getting the message, it let out a low growl and sank halfway back into the sea, swimming away for quite a distance before finally submerging into the depths fully.

Oh, what? Were you expecting some kind of lewd tentacle event?

Please, that won't happen with me around. Unless I'm the one that's controlling the tentacles and the girls consent to it of course. Speaking of which, didn't Diao Chan make a Spell like that?

"Master… Stared it down?" I heard Kiyomi mutter behind me.

"As expected of Master~" Manami giggled.

Cai Hong hugged my leg, "Papa! So cool!"

"Hehe~ Tentacles… I wonder if Master…" Diao Chan whispered under her breath.

"Master, what were you planning to do with its tentacles?" Alpha asked.

Oh? Quite sharp of her to notice that, not that I was hiding it or anything.

"Well, I'm planning to make something really nice but I haven't got all the ingredients yet. I'm afraid all of you will have to wait for now," I chuckled.

And predictably, with Diao Chan around, that line of thought strayed into the more lewd territory.

"Master! I don't mind doing it raw! I mastered the Spell enough to fully control the tentacles already! They can even shift into anything like--"

I flicked her on the forehead before she could complete her sentence.

Really now, what am I supposed to do with this girl? Do I even need to mention that she is still in the nude?

I suppose it's a good thing that Cai Hong had already asked me before on Diao Chan's perversion in the past, I already managed to convince her that it was just Diao Chan's personality and that she shouldn't learn from her.

Now Cai Hong just thinks that Diao Chan has special circumstances and doesn't think too much about what the perverted witch does anymore.

Unfortunately, Diao Chan found out about that fact which led to her being much more open with her actions than before, though I still restrict her words when around Cai Hong. Thus, the plethora of forehead flicks.

Eris pulled herself above the ship's railing in excitement, "Is it a new type of food, Master?!"

Before I could even answer her, Elaria had popped up beside her with a huge grin on her face.

"If it's octopus, of course it's going to be Takoyaki! Am I right, Onii-sama?!"

Oh right, I almost forgot she brought in the food culture to her town too.

In that case…

"You don't happen to have any dashi or bonito flakes, do you?" I asked.

She poked her fingers together with a face of regret, "Sorry Onii-sama… But our town is too far inland to make much progress towards the seafood side of things…"

Ah, understandable.

She quickly perked up, "But I know how to make them! This is why we came for this fishing trip right?! I knew Onii-sama was regaining his memories!"

Well, actually no but I don't see a reason to refute her right now since there's a more important matter at hand.

I gave a wry smile, "In that case, we better get to fishing then. I'll need some fish to be processed into the ingredients I'll need to use, can't make the new food without them."

"Yes Master! Leave it to us!" Everyone saluted before either grabbing a fishing pole or diving into the ocean's depths in search of prey.

Seems like the prospect of delicious food really does unites people quickly huh?

Though it wasn't my goal from the start, I suppose I would just treat the girls to some seafood today after they are done with their catch.
