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

Chapter 413 Vacation Home

Hilda gave me a strange look but nodded as I smiled, and then stomped down on the floorboards with one foot, and magic and cat spirits exploded from me. Hilda gasped as the small rundown shack she had been forced to stay in became a luxurious lakeside cabin. The inside now had grown three stories tall with vaulted ceilings, a modern kitchen, and laundry, soft beds to sleep in, a living room with plush couches filled with pillows and throws, an expansive bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub big enough for two, and the magical fireplaces lit the place up along with all the other magical artificial lights.

While that happened, Hilda also got a good cleaning and all brand new clothes as I ran her through the Cat God Bath 2.0; I still hadn't one-upped this spell, but it was only a matter of time. Now Hilda wore a white cotton dress and shoes as she looked around her in awe.

"What happened?" She asked finally, blinking her eyes a few times before they found their way back to me. "I feel so... alive!"

I smiled at that, understanding the feeling well. I offered her my hand, and Hilda took it as I led her over to the new couches near the fire, and we both took a seat.

"I used magic to make this place over," I explained with a grin, leaning back into the couch before taking my arm back to rest it on Hilda's shoulders. "You are an amazing woman, Hilda Grashalor; the city truly needs someone like you as ruler of Torrain."

Hilda smiled at that, but she still seemed unsure despite her renewed vigor. "I know I can do this job... but why do you believe in me? This is my first time meeting you, but I have been following your story through the Vine almost since you arrived in this world. I am always trying to listen to gossip to hear what the next big thing is, but that seems to be, in part, what got me in this mess."

"Not really; I mean, it was Sabrina being controlling and using someone else to get what she wanted. Even if I hadn't come, you still would have rejected her, but I was here at least to stop everything from going to pieces. The reason that I have faith in you is for the reason that you just stated. I have talked with the other Mothers, and most say you are an innovative thinker, and you were working on bringing Aquashell into production. From the sounds of it, this could profit everyone and help with the growth of Torrain and the area. I think that you are just the person that should be in charge," I explained, but Hilda still looked unsure.

"What about the mothers? Most seem on board with my plan for now, but Each still seems to be playing their own game, and many seem to think that they can do what they please," Hilda explained, and I nodded.

"Yeah, I know what they are like for the most part, but I will be sticking around until everything is fixed, or I will start dissolving families from being major business holders. The women are either going to get in line, or they are going to have to be replaced for the good of the city. The only way things work is if we all work together," I explained as I stood up, offering Hilda my hand.

She smiled and grabbed it before standing up, so we were now faced to each other. "Thank you for believing in me, Galio; I won't let you or anyone else down!" She said with conviction before giving me a hug followed by a kiss on the cheek.

"Good, now I would prefer it if you stayed here for a bit longer. I just have something to go deal with, and I am sure you would like to get some sleep in a comfortable place. Is this okay?" I asked, and Hilda nodded as she looked at the place.

"This place is really nice, but is there any food?" Hilda asked, and I frowned. I hadn't thought about that, but I had a solution.

I turned and extended a hand to the center of the cabin, and the floorboards pulled back as a strange tree grew up slowly and soon started to fill out with fruits of many different kinds. This was not a tree that could be grown, and to make it grow more, it needed to be filled with a great amount of Growth Magic. Good for in my cabin, but not practical for anyone but a goddess to use.

"Is there anything that you can't do?" Hilda asked as she got up in awe from the couch to come over to the tree and pick an apple. She took a bite, sighed, and then started to chew before swallowing. "If I said this wasn't the best apple I had ever tried, I would be lying! Amazing!"

"There are many things that I can do, but I am not omniscient; I am just the Cat God. Still, this is nothing compared to what is going to happen when we get everything figured out for Torrain. Still, enjoy your stay here, and get some rest because you are going to need it!" I laughed as dawn approached, and I could see the sky start to lighten through the many windows in the large cabin as I gestured for a portal back to the room in the jail I had been in.

"I will try!" Hilda called as I hopped into the empty room I had questioned Sabrina and Meeta in, but Breya wasn't there. The portal closed, and I left the room to find her waiting just outside on a bench talking with Kalli.

"You are back? How did things go?" Breya asked after they stopped talking to look up at me.

"Hilda is secure, and we have a new vacation home," I said with a grin, and Breya raised an eyebrow but also stood up.

"You can tell me on the way," Breya said as she extended her hand to me but then looked at Kalli with a smile. "I am sure that everything will work out."
