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

Chapter 10 Beyond Pissed



"Alright, Munchkin. Let's get out now and get us dried off. We will check on your girls before leaving, and we will probably end up bringing one of them with us. There is no way anyone will believe that you were able to take me down," I explained as I stood up, lifting Eliza out of the water.

Thanks to the cold water and distraction of conversation, my growth had calmed down now, but it was starting to come back. Eliza sliding down in front of me with her wet body was not helping my situation, so I turned away from her.

I would have my way with this girl but in a closed room. For now, I had some things to do, and I wanted to see how Renna and Cindy were doing.

Thanks to me, I had gotten a Karma point at random before, so that must mean that the girls worked something out. I wasn't sure what that might be, but I wanted to go check it out.

"Get dried off and dressed," I explained as I quickly dried off, but Eliza put her arms out to me.

"Dry me!"

I tossed my towel and hit her in the face with it.

"If you plan on being my partner, you had better learn to do something independently. Now is a great time to start," I said, pulling my pants back on.

"Fine, but there are some things that I really don't know how to do!" Eliza complained as she started to awkwardly dry her body.

"When those come up, I will teach you so you can do it on your own if you can. If you can't, only then will I do it for you. You seemed to have lived a life before this where everyone had done everything for you. That ends today," I explained, and Eliza nodded slowly, looking sad.

"Everything? I can brush my hair, but it feels better when someone else does. I could make food, but I am not very good at it. Do you mean I will have to do all that?!" Eliza complained, and I held back a sigh.

I did all these things myself, so to hear her talking like this didn't squeeze much sympathy from me, but I could understand where she was coming from. Maybe I was being too harsh right off the hop, and I should give her a chance to grow before dumping the world on her shoulders.

"Fine, I will help you with things, but I do want you to learn to be more self-sufficient. If you are to travel with me, you will have to learn how to survive and sleep outside," I explained, and Eliza nodded at me.

"I will try my best. I am not as bad as most people think, but no one ever forced me to learn anything before this," Eliza said.

"As long as you try, I am happy. Now get yourself ready, and meet me back over by the horse. I also want you to pick one of your guards to come with us," I explained, and Eliza nodded happily.

"Yes, I will do that. Where are you going?" Eliza asked.

"I need to go and check on two other girls, and I need to go have a word with the elder. I am still considering whether letting you kick the shit out of her would have been such a bad idea!" I growled, heading directly for the large tent.

"I assumed that you would come to visit before you left. Girls, please leave us," Elder Lily instructed as I stormed into the tent.

"Don't bother kicking them out to save face, you old witch! You knew exactly what I was about to do! Why didn't you suggest that I have someone else clean her?!" I demanded, glaring the two younger girls back into their pillows.

"I think this is a good thing-"

I didn't let her finish. I stepped over and grabbed the old woman by the front of the robe, lifting her now terrified face to mine that was like stone.

I was beyond pissed.

"Next time you THINK, it had better be about this moment right here. I am a kind person, but do not consider it a weakness. If you ever try to make a choice like this on my behalf, I will be the one that you have to worry about as a threat, not that little girl. Considering that you were about to be attacked, and I saved you, I would assume that you would be smarter than this," I growled, not putting the woman down.

"I-I-I, umm," Lady Lily asked, and then wet herself, making me groan, and I put the old lady down.

"You can clean yourself, but remember this moment well. I am not a woman, and I have a different aura than others, making me terrifying if I want to be. Smarten up. Don't play games with other people or me. You just took a significant moment away from that girl. I am sure you are ready to blame her, just like Cindy. Maybe you are the real problem," I said, turning back to the door.

"I will take your words to heart, and I am sorry for what I have done," Lily said from behind me, her voice still trembling, but I just walked out of the tent.

I had made my point, and I wouldn't have to again, I was sure. Now I needed to go find Renna and Cindy, then go get the other girl from Northwall.

I wished that was all that I had to do, but I had a feeling that I wouldn't be getting out of there so fast. The lady Katerina seemed like she was the root of the problem, but it might be more profound than this.

"Excuse me!" I called an older woman walking by me, and she stopped.

"Yes? Did you fart?" The lady asked me with a serious face, and I rolled my eyes.
