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

"Not really, I was just talking to some of the Easterners, and it took longer than I had thought that it would. Tomorrow I have a Peekaan called Mishal to be my guide and ride to Bramma," I explained, and Eliza nodded.

"I know, Mishal, and that is a good idea! She will be able to show you around the place without you getting into too much trouble. Are you going as a cat? Can you change how you look?" Eliza asked, and I shrugged.

"I am not really sure, but I won't be able to keep this a secret for long. I am sure that I can figure out something. Anyways, I just came to say goodnight to you and everyone, so let's head inside quickly," I said, and then the girls nodded, but then I remembered something. "Oh yeah! There is an Easterner coming tomorrow, Sakura. She said that she will help out, and she is going to say Pickled Cherries, so you know it's her."

"Oh? Okay! More visitors and help are always nice. I think we are all going to be in the backyard replanting flowers and shrubs. Senna ordered a large amount, and it is going to be here in the morning. Everyone was enlisted to help, so we are all going to be gardeners tomorrow. Having extra help will be welcome," Eliza said with a sigh, and I patted her head.

"I am sure that the place will look really nice, and we can have a fire before bed tomorrow," I said, and both the girls nodded as we walked back up to the manor and inside.

The girls were still in the kitchen, but they all stopped talking as we entered. The room became silent, and I looked around at all the women in the room, but everyone kept their mouths closed.

"Suspicious. What were you all talking about that everyone is so tight-lipped now?" I asked curiously, and Breya walked over to give me a kiss that I returned.

"Wouldn't you like to know? We need to be able to keep some things to ourselves. Did you come just to say good night?" Breya asked as she wrapped her arms around my neck, reaching up with one hand to stroke my ears, making me close my eyes.

I was way too easy to please, and this was going to turn into a problem in the future, I could see it all now. So could Breya from the knowing smirk she was giving me. She knew that she was going to be using this to her advantage, and I could see it written all over her face.

"This is hardly fair," I complained, and Breya's smirk deepened.

"When have I ever played fair, my big fluffy kitty! You are going to have to come over soon. Now that you are brand new, I feel like I should be able to experience it. You know, then I could tell you which was better," Breya said and then kissed me again before pulling away, leaving me with her sweet taste on my lips.

"How was your trip to visit the Easterners? I heard some very strange things from the guards. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" Senna asked me with suspicion written all over her face.

"Sorry, I didn't want to walk around, and I tried to be sneaky, but that Brenda has a knack for showing up in places that I was. She is also very suspicious of me, but I want to have fun with them. Sarah seems more skeptical, but I think it will be fun to tease them," I laughed, and Senna scowled at me.

"I am not going to have you getting your laughs at my guard's expense, Cat God," Senna said pointedly, and I put my hands up in defense.

"I won't be that bad, I promise. I will also treat them to whatever they want after," I said, and Senna nodded, but she got a mischievous smile on her face.

"That is fine, but you had better do whatever they ask! These girls might not seem like much, but both of them are very hard workers. They are always patrolling the camps, and help where is needed," Senna said, but she still had that smile that I liked less and less by the second. This was starting to feel like a Skylar flashback.

"I don't like that look on your face," I said, and the smile only deepened.

"You wouldn't," Senna said and then laughed evilly. What had I just unleashed?

"You are scaring me, but I have to get going. What room is Skylar in?" I asked after shaking my head.

"We can take you!" Eliza said, and then Chili and she pulled me out of the kitchen.

"You stuck your head in a Beehive again, Galio! Senna is not one to be messed with, and that extends to her guards. She treats them all like family, so you had better make sure that you make good on your word if you are going to mess with them," Eliza warned, and I chuckled.

"Don't you worry about that. I am always good at my word, and I will do as they ask. They sound like a hard-working pair, so I want to reward them for their studious service and for having big hearts. Not everyone goes the extra mile, so it should be recognized, especially when it is to do with humanitarian work," I explained, and Eliza nodded.

"Good. I think that it will be good for the girls to get teased a bit personally. Coming from you will actually mean something to them. The fact that you are taking the time to interact with them is probably going to be more than enough for them, but Senna won't let that happen. You can guarantee that she will make sure that they know to squeeze you for every drop that you have," Eliza said as we slowed down in front of one of the many guest rooms on the first floor.
