500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System
Chapter 372 A Second DateI had finished up with Moret, and I had just got done with the women in Calham. I went around and checked on the other towns, but everyone seemed to be happy and content after everything I did. This is what I had meant to happen, but it was nice to see everyone getting back into gear.
When I was in Vaal, I found Ezra, and the two of us went out for lunch at one of the new greenhouse restaurants that I had placed in each town. I had assumed that It would take some time to get things organized, but they already had a couple of dishes that were written on a chalk slate outside, and people were already enjoying their meals.
The two of us talked about things that were going on in both the town and the country as a whole. I told her about what I had planned for the rest of the day, and Ezra told me about things at the bakery.
"Things had already been going pretty good since your goddesses had visited us and enchanted our equipment! I knew that you had visited us the most when you were in town the first time, so I assume you liked the food, so I decided I would try to get your attention that way," Ezra giggled as she leaned into me. We were sitting in a booth, but she had wanted to sit beside me, so now she was under one of my arms.
I had kind of felt bad for just leaving her after, but the woman had been pushing my buttons, and she got the results of that. Still, there was nothing wrong with taking a bit of time for the girls now. Sure, I still had problems to deal with, but I also had all my powers back, so stepping across the world to share a meal with my girls was something I would have to get more in the habit of.
"Well, I don't think I had ever seen a woman pull a croissant from between her breasts, but the food is a great way to get my attention," I laughed, making Ezra giggle. "But in all seriousness, things are going good around here? No one is giving you any problems?" I asked, and Ezra shook her head.
"No! Everyone has been so nice since you left! The townspeople have been all happy and excited about everything," Ezra explained, and I grinned.
"I am glad to hear that. It seems like everything has been good," I said, and Ezra nodded as the waitress came over.
"Anything else?" she asked, and we both shook our heads before giving her our order. When she left, we began to talk again about things as Ezra rested her hand on my arm while we talked. It was nice just being able to focus on something other than all the stuff that I had left to deal with.
The food came, and it was wild chicken salad with a creamy garlic dressing that smelled pretty good. We both got the same things since there were only three choices on the menu. The other two choices were a no-meat salad and pumpkin soup.
As we ate, people came in and out of the place, giving me nods as they headed off to work on things around town. I waved back with a smile when they did it long enough that I could stop eating for a second or two.
I had to admit that the food was pretty good, considering it was just simple peasant food like this. Still, there wasn't any reason why decent food couldn't be enjoyed by everyone.
"So, is there anything new going on in town? Besides the cafe, of course," I asked as I took a drink from my ale, and Ezra blushed a bit as she leaned over me to grab her own mug, making sure that her breast rubbed against my side just right before straightening up again.
"No…not really…well actually yes! There is something you should know!" Ezra said with excitement in her voice as the waitress brought over another ale. We had drunk the first one pretty quick, and I paid her now that we were finished with our meals as well.
"What is it?" I asked curiously as Ezra took a deep breath to calm herself down some before she told me whatever was going on.
"Everyone in town, and most of the other ones, are talking about Hilda! Seems that everyone wants her to take over now since you are supporting her, but there is a problem that has just come up in the Vine as we were eating," Ezra explained and I frowned at her as I used a napkin to wipe my mouth.
"Problem?" I asked curiously, but I started to get a sinking feeling.
"Yes, Hilda has disappeared," Ezra said plainly, and I narrowed my eyes, my mood turning dark.
"What do you mean, disappeared? I got rid of the cult members and demons; who could take her?" I growled, and Ezra flinched, making me sigh, and then gently kissed the top of her head. "Sorry, this is just not something I wanted to hear right as I was about to wrap things up."
"Wrap things up?" Ezra asked with a confused look as she tilted her head up at me.
"Yes, I thought that I would be able to go to Torrain and deal with Hilda and Carrie. I just need to see Hilda being placed as the ruler of this region, and then I was supposed to be done," I growled, but Ezra shook her head at me.
"I think that you are underestimating Torrain and Carrie. Have you ever been to Torrain? It is almost twice the size of Northwall, and it is densely populated, but most of the people are poor. The city is in an area that doesn't see much snow, so many people that can't make it in the villages migrate to the city. There are three gates that lead into the city, and all of them are heavily guarded. You could sneak in by using your portals, but people would start to talk if they saw you popping up all over the place," Ezra explained as she sipped her ale.
