Chapter 1092: Scheming Against Mommy? Count Me In!
(MC POV)
I’d like to say that our plan to help Iris loosen up was working quite well, considering the fact that I found both Iris and Cai Hong cuddling and napping behind some boxes.
They look soooo cute! I just want to bring them to a couch somewhere and cuddle them!
But as much as I wanted to do that, I could not reveal myself to Iris or she would know that something was up.
For this game of hide and seek, however, because of where they were positioned, I ‘found’ Iris first which meant Cai Hong won this round.
Thus, I made it such that when they woke up, they would instinctively know who was the winner.
With that done, I slipped away from them and enjoyed myself by moving my concentration to where my disciples were, giving all of them headpats and also some cookies while waiting for the two cosmic beings in loli form to wake up.
I was just thinking of whether I should join my disciples in taking a nap when I felt someone tug on the arm of my main body.
Directing my concentration back there, I found Lilith looking up at me with a complicated look on her face while in her loli form.
“Daddy? Are you doing something with that dragon?”
Of course, neither Cai Hong nor myself told my other children about why we had made such a World.
To them, they thought that Cai Hong somehow convinced me to do this for her and that was partially true.
What they didn’t know was that this was mostly to get Iris here to get her to loosen up and learn how to have fun.
I didn’t need to be worried that Iris would give herself away since she’s too careful to do that, as evident in that game of tag where no one questioned Iris’s identity despite her standing out so much.
It’s obvious she did some perception manipulation before coming here to prevent herself from being discovered.
But she must not have accounted for people who already met her before, thus Lilith must have realised that something was amiss and staked out at the castle to confront Iris.
Now that she witnessed the interaction between Cai Hong and Iris, she must have surmised that I was also involved.
Seeing nothing wrong with letting her in on our plan, I explained what was going on to her from the start.
It took me a while but it was nice since she cuddled with me on my lap and I was head patting her the entire time.
She nodded, looking especially cute since she was still in her loli form, “I see… So we are making Mother less stuck up?”
“Not really what I would call it but I suppose you can say that.”
“I want in.”
I raised an eyebrow at her, “What?”
“I want in. Actually, if you were to tell the others out there about it, I’m pretty sure all of my siblings would also cooperate as well.”
I chuckled, “Well, that’s because the ones here aren’t fans of Iris, isn’t it?”
That’s right, everyone here was from the so-called ‘Daddy faction’ who preferred me over Iris, so obviously they would join in on a scheme against her.<novelnext> </novelnext>
Lilith made a face, “Well… That much is obvious I guess… But I’m also quite confident that the others wouldn’t mind us making Mother more affectionate as well. There’ll be some who would resent it for sure but those are in the minority. That’s why we should tell the rest too!”
I considered it for a moment.
Iris was already under the assumption that this World was made to keep me here and that everyone was most likely in cahoots with each other. So if I were to bring them in as well, then it doesn’t really make much difference anyway, right?
No wait a minute…
I tilted my head slightly, “Don’t you think that everyone would start acting differently if they knew the other party was Iris? If I were to ask you to play with her, I don’t think you can be as casual as if you didn’t know it was Iris, would you?”
She hesitated and I could tell she wanted to say that it wouldn’t make a difference but she knew that would be a lie.
“Ugh… But I want to do something as well, Daddy… If I don’t, that little dragon is going to end up doing everything and she gets to spend more time with you too! That’s so unfair!”
That’s what she was worried about? I thought Lilith wanted to help out because she wanted to change Iris for the better but then again, she never really liked Iris in the first place. Hopefully when Iris learns to extend her attention to beings other than me, she would be more well received by the others.
Speaking of which… I never knew why the other children preferred Iris over me?
Omniscience?
…
Oh. They want a dommy mommy… Ok then. Let’s just forget I ever asked.
Lilith then clapped her hands together, “I know! I can just go ahead and organise some of the games that we can play! Now that dragon is the only one playing with Mother right? I can get some of my siblings together for group games and have Mother play with us!”
Now that she’s suggesting that…
I know that group games would be more effective considering how the game of tag had affected Iris the most. Thus, Lilith’s idea actually has quite a bit of merit to it.
“You know what… That’s actually a good idea. But what kind of group game do you have in mind?”
Lilith pondered the question for a moment before hitting her palm with a fist, “How about football?! Or soccer if you’d rather call it that.”
Ah… That game huh.
Well… I suppose it might work and it’s also easy for kids to play that too. There’s quite a lot of teamwork involved unlike the other games so Iris would be cooperating with the other children too. And if she has to cooperate with them, that would mean she’s also interacting with them.
“Alright, why the hell not. Can I leave the preparations to you? I’ll create a field outside the city for this game.”
She thumped her chest proudly, “Just leave it to me Daddy! Ah… Could I please get a reward first?”
Oh this cute little thing~
I gave her the headpats she wanted and cuddled her, making the little demoness giggle girlishly as she hugged me tighter.
So cute~
Now… Where should I make the field…
