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

Chapter 522 Get Back To My Garden

"You've done well today. You have learned an important lesson about letting some things get out of control, even if it is embarrassing. But in the end, it does help you learn," Elfinia said before giving me a hug and walking away. Listenia nodded as she hugged me from the other side and then disappeared inside the store.

I smiled to myself as I watched them leave, strangely happy with how everything had turned out. A lot had happened during the date, but in the end, the girls were smiling, so I was okay with that.

The lesson bullshit was just to make them feel better, but I was fuming from the experience still!

"Tallia!" I growled, and everyone walking near me flinched and then started to move faster as a portal opened.

"So, how was your date with the girls?" Tallia asked as she sipped tea at her table.

I stepped through and looked around, but I didn't see Fate anywhere.

"Where is the troublemaker?" I asked as the portal closed behind me.

"Out in my garden weeding. Since you aren't answering me, I will assume Listenia put the information to good use," Tallia said casually, and I glared at her as I sat down, gesturing for a small portal to open beside me to my teapot.

"Oh, yes! While I was sitting on a bench in the market!" I snapped as I poured the tea and took the cup without adding milk or sugar. "What is the big deal?!"

"Don't play stupid. You were a jackass to her before you got your memories back, so you are only getting your due. Just be glad you only pissed off a few of us," Tallia said and crossed one of her legs over the other.

"One of these days, I am going to make you pay for that," I said as I growled out and looked away.

"Yes, yes! You will have your revenge, now, if there is nothing else? I do need to get back to my garden," Tallia said with a wave before standing up and walking to the door but paused with her hand on the knob.

"Oh, and one more thing, don't think that you are so special that you can always walk away unscathed. You did learn a lesson today, right?" Tallia asked before she stepped outside without waiting for an answer, and I was left alone in the room with only my thoughts for company.

Sure, I remembered how much of a self-righteous prick I was, but this was too cruel! I wanted to complain and argue that I didn't deserve this, but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud.

This lesson seemed to be an extension of Cancer's words. If I hadn't been screwing around with the other women, I could have spent more time with the girls and fixing things before it got to this. Instead, now all the women I loved had a secret weapon to make me bend a knee.

I shook my head and gestured for a portal, draining my tea and putting the cup back. After letting it close, I opened another to the training grounds of the Adventure school since the sun was still up in the air.

The sounds of weapons clashing filled the kitchen, and I stepped through to see two Amazons sparring with Velma and Daphne. I let the portal close behind me, and all four women stopped and turned to me.

"Hey! The Cat God has come to visit!" Daphne laughed as she tossed her sword to the side and ran over to hug me, making Velma sigh.

"You are supposed to stay serious when we are training, or you are going to undo all the hard work we put in with them!" Velma snapped, and Daphne stiffened in my arms as I hugged her back. "Over here, now!"

Daphne pulled away from me and then marched over to stand beside Velma at attention. Then Velma looked at the other two Amazons, and they both snapped to attention, surprising me.

I didn't really see either girl as commanding, but seeing the Amazons nearly flinch from Velma's look made me reconsider that. I knew that the girls had a strange relationship, but it seemed that Velma was the one that wore the pants.

"Thank you for coming to visit us, Galio!" Velma said.

"Yes! Thank you for blessing us with your presence!" The other three shouted, surprising me again.

I had assumed that the girls were going to have a hard time with the Amazons, but it looked like she had been training them for a month with the way they stood up straight at her look.

"Thank you for the greeting, but how did you get them to act like this in one day?!" I asked, and Velma smirked at me.

"These women are nothing to the ever-present challenges that my mother puts me through every day. Considering that you were having trouble with them, and I was able to reign them so fast, you should give me a bit more slack when it comes to trying to control this one," Velma said, stabbing a finger into Daphne's cheek.

"Hey! I am not that bad, and you know that the guard captain deserved it! I just think that people should answer you when you ask them a question! There is also no reason for them to be rude!" Daphne complained and then clenched her fist in front of her, making Velma groan.

"Here we go," Velma said, rolling her eyes.

"Those that ask the questions are the ones that are in charge! I only destroyed the stand because the woman attacked me when I asked why she had lower-quality fabrics mixed in with the goods! You know she was the one that got in trouble for it as well! I was just defending myself from her!" Daphne declared, and Velma picked up the sword her mother had dropped and handed it to her.

"Throw this at the mountain over there," Velma said, and Daphne didn't even blink as she took the sword and then hurled it at the mountain.
