500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 416 Business Of Yours



I opened a portal, and the two of us walked into Carrie\'s office, where she was asleep on the desk. The moment the portal closed, Carrie popped up in a sleepy haze.

"The reports are signed, just give me... oh, it\'s you... Hilda?! You found her?!" Carrie exclaimed and then let out a long sigh.

"You seem relieved that I am back?" Hilda asked, and Carrie nodded as she looked at me.

"Very. I was worried that something bad had happened to you. I made some bad choices, and I am going to have to pay for them, but the Cat God really believes that you can change this city. I think you might just be able to do that with her help," Carrie said, and I nodded.

"You will be going to serve with the other girls down south for the monster girls. Having to work with wild women should teach you to respect humans a bit more than you have, but that is not going to happen just yet. Hilda is going to need some help with the transfer over. I if you want to earn some time off your sentence, then I suggest that you help make this go over as smoothly as possible," I said, and then looked at Hilda. "Are you okay with staying and working things out? I am going to gather all the Mothers and get them all ready for a big meeting."

"Yes, I will get things ready, and there is a large meeting room that we can use, right Carrie," Hilda asked, and Carrie nodded.

"Good; I am going to give you a mark on the back of your hand if that is okay?" I asked. "It is a mark that will let me find you, and you can get a hold of me if something goes wrong."

"Why on my hand?" Hilda asked and then blushed.

"We have hardly just met, so I wasn\'t sure if you wanted me to..."I said, letting my words trail, but Hilda just turned her face to the side as it turned as red as her hair.

"I d-don\'t mind," Hilda said, only stuttering slightly, and I grinned and reached in to grab one of her cute perky breasts, making her gasp as steam came out her ears.

"There you go," I said after removing my hand, and Hilda let out the breath she had been holding and gasped for more air.

"O-Oh, okay. Well, I guess that is all?" Hilda said with a nervous laugh as her face went back to its normal tone.

"I will be back," I said before opening a portal and leaving the office with a smile on my face. It was good to see that she was finally ready to take the next step and help bring this world together. I knew that it wasn\'t going to be easy for her, but she would make it through if they all worked together and supported each other like this one little moment here in Carrie\'s office had shown me.

I stepped out in front of the strange domed house of Irene Balishire and her family and let out a sigh as the portal closed while shaking my head. While I didn\'t think she was going to be the hardest to convince about the council. There seemed to be some problems going on inside this domed manner that none of the other Mothers wanted to stick their noses in.

That was where I came in, but this change seemed to be only recent, so there might be more to the story. Still, this silliness of getting the girls to stand around dressed up like that wasn\'t good for the girls.

I walked up to the front door and knocked on it, waiting until Lady Penelope once more answered it, but with a surprised look.

"Welcome back to our home... Umm, what brought you back here on this fine morning?" Penelope asked, and I winked at her.

"I am here to see Mother Irene; if you would please show me where she is," I said as I walked in and shook my head. The girls all looked tired, but they were in their positions as awkwardly dressed as they were. "Relax, girls."

"I will go and see if she is taking visitors right now," Lady Penelope said, but I shook my head.

"Lead the way, but I am coming with you. You can make sure she is decent before I barge in, but she will be seeing me," I said, and Lady Penelope nodded slowly and turned to lead me into the house without saying another word as I had to duck to get through some of the other doorways till we reach as a set of double door that seemed to lead to the center of the manor.

"Please wait here while I let her know that you are here," Lady Penelope said, but I put up my hand.

"What is this place?" I asked, but I could smell the scent of flowers strongly here, so I assumed that this was an actual garden.

"This is Mother\'s private garden," Lady Penelope said, and I nodded, pushing past her.

"That is all I need you for. Thank you for the directions, but the rest of this is between Irene and me," I said and pushed through the door before Penelope could say anything. It was better this way.

"Penelope, what is it that you are bothering me for in my personal time?" Irene Balishire demanded as I looked around the domed greenhouse.

"Just me! I came back to have another talk!" I called.

The place was filled with many plants and flowers here in this beautiful greenhouse. I didn\'t know if this was a sort of garden for show or for Irene\'s own pleasure.

"Galio? What are you doing here? Didn\'t we already meet?" She asked as she walked over to me, holding a watering can in her hands.

"Yes, we did, but I wanted to talk about something else," I said and then pointed towards the plants around us. "What is the real reason why your girls were told to dress up like that?"

"Excuse me? What business is that of yours?" Irene demanded.
