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

Chapter 392 Feeling Normal

I looked up at the sun, and it was about noon, and I was getting hungry. I was going to have to find some food before I headed out of the city to the farms, but it would be better if I knew which one of the two I was going to. That meant that I was going to have to try talking to some women to get what I wanted to know while also trying to find something to eat. This was going to be a tricky thing, but nothing I couldn't handle.

I leaped back through the portal and landed in a new part of the city that I hadn't been to yet, but my pets had mapped it out for me. After looking around for a bit, I noticed two women standing by an old brick wall talking to each other. One of them was tall and curvy with long dark hair, the other short and petite with strawberry blonde hair.

I walked to them with a smile on my face. "Excuse me, ladies," I said in my nicest voice as I approached them.

The two women stopped talking when they noticed me and looked me up and down with suspicious gazes. The taller one crossed her arms and cleared her throat before speaking.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" She asked in a cold voice, making it clear she was not very fond of strangers walking up to them unannounced.

I quickly introduced myself as Cat God before continuing, "Just wondering which farm would be the best one to find Shallot at? I need to have a chat with her."

The two women both looked at each other before the taller one spoke again.

"Shallot is not an easy woman to deal with; her main farm is a few miles east away in the hills. If you want to see her, I suggest you come prepared," She said in a warning tone before adding, "Good luck."

With that, both women walked away, and neither looked like they wanted to say much more. All these women made the place out to be much worse than I really thought that I was, but maybe I was still missing something menacing. There could be more dark secrets, so I shouldn't go complaining about things being easy for the most part so far.

My problem right now was that I had to run around in circles to try and figure anything out. Still, this was the way of things, and my strength wasn't going to fix every problem that I ran into.

I sighed and walked around with my nose in the air until I picked up the scent of good food. I followed it and eventually found myself in front of a small café. I walked in and was surprised to see that the place was filled with women; all of them dressed quite nicely.

The scent of food teased my nose again as I went up to the counter and asked what they had on their menu.

"We have a variety of different dishes, from light salads to heavier entrees. We have several pies and other desserts that are delicious, too," The woman at the counter said with a smile.

I thanked her and then ordered something called "Heather's Finest," which she assured me would be a hit. She also told me it was named after someone who had been a long-time patron of the café.

I thanked her and took my food to an empty table in the corner, where I had a good view of who was coming and going. The food was delicious, but it wasn't anything special; however, it did give me a chance to observe all the tendencies that went on in this place.

The people of Torrain ignored me for the most part, but I did draw a few looks, but something about that was kind of nice as I sat and ate my food. Even before I got all my memories back, there were groups of women trying to chase me down in Northwall. Something about Torrain made me feel just like another person, even if only for a short moment.

When I was done with my food, I paid the woman at the counter and gave her a good tip because I noticed she had given me an extra helping. So that was nice of her.

I stepped outside into a light rain that had started to come down, but it felt refreshing on my face, and it cut down on the shit smell, for now. The sun would come back after, and the smell would only get worse, so it seemed it was time to skip out of the city and head east to the Richmer farm. I just hoped that I could find some answers there.

I opened a portal and stepped through, emerging in a field of tall grass and rolling hills as far as the eye could see. This was as far as my pets had mapped, but this put me just a mile out of the city.

Activating my Sight Runes, I looked east till I found some hills far off and then zoomed in to get a look at where I was going before creating a portal to the hills I had just seen.

I emerged into the base of the hill and then sprinted over it, but groaned as I looked at the tall rock and hills that blocked my view. I jumped in the air as my wings burst out, and a gust of air sent me up into the sky. I hadn't done this before, so I could seek in, but the terrain was a pain, so flying it was. I flew up and looked around till I saw the Richmer farm.

I started to fly towards the place, looking over the setup, but this seemed to be a cattle farm of sorts with a small house in the middle. I could see a few women walking around, but they didn't seem to have noticed me yet. I got closer and noticed that the main doors of the farm were guarded by two guards.

I swooped down and landed at the gates; my wings shattered from my back. I was surprised at how small the house was, but even as I walked toward the house, no one looked up from the task they were taking care of. More oddities, I thought to myself.
