500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System-Chapter 398 Then There Was Silence
"They come from all directions, but not every day. I think that it is someone that one of the other families has hired since most of them don't like Mother because she has burned them all. She has a bad habit of always trying to get the best deals from people but then tries to cheap out when it comes time for her to pay even more. Lutha Grashalor used to help us with protection, but Mother Shallot only wanted to pay Lutha in sexual favors, but that doesn't pay the wages of others," Kia explained and then turned away to poke her fingers together.
Kyra nodded in agreement before poking Kia in the side with a giggle, making her jump; Kia was cute when she did that.
"We can talk later, the sun is setting, and we should get back for supper before Mother Shallot gets mad," Kyra said as she started to walk away, only making Kia blush again before running after her friend. I followed from behind slowly before catching up with them.
My mind was on the golems since they had to be created by a person, but they were also being created in random locations. That made me think that it was a hired mercenary, and from the conversation, I had heard. I was beginning to believe that Mother Balishire might be behind this, hiring mercenaries to border raid in order for her to keep Mother Shallot on edge. Considering that the short flower-loving Mother Balishire would be getting most of her produce and meats from the Richmer's, making Shallots farm here a good target, but that didn't hold water.
If that were the case, it would only make The Richmer's Farm have trouble producing and drive prices more. If they were already worried about her being greedy, then there was no way that they would do something like that. I still have to visit the Wood, and Guildmaier families, so there was no way to know where to start pointing fingers.
When we made it back to the small house, there was no guard at the goods, and that made me wonder if that had just been for me coming to visit?
I was led into the house that looked to perfect, but I could smell cooked food, and my stomach dragged me along as we headed down a flight of stairs at the back of the house. The sounds of women started to get louder, but still muffled till we got to a heavy door that was much different than the rest of the ones I had seen here.
We opened it up and stepped in to find a large room that was filled with women, all looking very beautiful. A few of them were wearing dresses like Kyra and Kia, while others were in different styles, but they all looked nice.
The girls left me to go sit down at the table as Mother Shallot walked over in an extravagant red dress that hugged her curves perfectly. She smiled brightly before giving me a hug and then ushering me over to the table that was already set with food. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
"I see that you and Kyra have gotten close; very good. She is one of my more valuable pupils and trainers, but now with the new wall I just saw as you created it, it looks like she will not have as active a role. Very interesting. I also noticed that you have done a great number of other things, but let us not spoil this wonderful meal that the girls have been working on with talk of work!" Mother Shallot said before I could even start to say anything, and then she waved her hand at the food that was on all the platters. There were so many dishes it was hard to take them all in, but it smelled amazing!
I made sure not to eat too much, though, since I wanted everyone here to have some, but it turned out that the girls didn't eat that much. After a while of watching them all slow down and the large amounts of food still left, I decided to indulge myself. If there was one thing I could say about the families that I had spent time with, they sure knew how to make good food and lots of it. My time with the Grashalor families had been a similar experience, but I was not complaining.
"Small bit of information about you has traveled through the Vine over the last while, and it seems that your appetite was no understatement; very curious," Mother Shallot said as I finally cleaned off the last platter, resisting the urge to lick it off. Damn, that was some good food, but I was ready to pop a button at lethal speeds!
"Yeah, that food was so good! I am really glad that there isn't anymore, or I might eat myself into a critical state!" I chuckled, slapping my belly, but then it made a gurgle, and all the women started to laugh, but my eyes peeled back as I realized what was coming.
Time dilated as I looked at the door in a panic, but it didn't look like the type that could be flung open at high speeds. I scanned the rest of the room, but the other doorway on the far side of the room was too far away, and even with my godspeed, my ass was already puckering. Everyone was giggling and laughing, but I was about to ruin the party, and there was no chance of escape.
"Galio, is there something wrong?" Shallot asked as I brought my eyebrows together as I tried to keep my shit together, literally.
"I am really sorry for this," I said, as my eye twitched, and my guts started to boiled and rumble as I felt sweat beads form on my forehead.
"Is there something wrong with you-"
"BrrrrrrRUP!" My ass screamed, making a few of the women scream in fright at the loud noises, but then there was silence.
