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

Chapter 518 Dress Up A Bit



After the portal closed, the woman looked over at me and then flinched back. She was one of the women that had been on the south wall that I had cured of the Madness before.

"Where did you come from? I didn\'t hear the bell for the door!" The woman asked in surprise, and I shook my head.

"I came through a portal, but what kind of armor are you looking for?" I asked curiously, and the woman looked at me nervously.

"Well, I heard about you starting an adventure school, and now that I don\'t have a job, rent is getting a bit tight. Then, I saw these two women from Temni come in today with a bunch of monster parts to sell," the woman explained, and I nodded.

"Not an easy life, but a rewarding one! If this is something that you are interested in, keep your ears open, but don\'t worry about buying equipment right now. You bring up an important point, and I will talk to Senna about giving you girls some pay while you are between work. I really stole your way to make money, but this adventure school is a good place for you women to go to learn more. This world is filled with dangerous monsters, but armed with knowledge and the proper skills, you will be able to take on any challenge!" I laughed, and the woman\'s eyes lit up.

"That\'s so kind of you! I\'m sure the other women would appreciate it too. Thank you so much, sir," the woman said with a bow, and I waved my hand.

"No need to thank me, just make sure you take care of yourself and use your skills to make a better life for yourself. I have to get going now, have a good day!" I said with a smile, and the woman nodded before I turned to the counter where Claire was standing. "Well, hello, you."

"Good afternoon, Galio," Claire said and then sighed as she looked around the shop, which was empty now that the women had left. "Listenia is not going to be happy that you are driving her customers away."

"She isn\'t going to need the business, but I am going to contract her to make lots of new weapons and armor for the school. After that, both women will be coming with me, just like you, right?" I asked Claire, and all of her eyes closed as she nodded her head, but then they opened and got really big and cute.

"Umm, do you think that you could make me some cake? I know that I am not pregnant like Breya, but she let me try a paper-thin slice of the chocolate one you made and then hissed at me when I asked for more," Claire pouted and smiled, patting her head.

"Yes, I am sure I can find some time, and you can help me. That way, when I am busy, you and Breya can make them together when I am not around or busy," I said, and Claire smiled.

"Thank you, I know that you are really busy, and you are constantly helping other people," Claire said, and I shrugged.

"I am trying to slow down on all of that and focus more on you main girls. There is enough of you, and I want to spend more time with you all; I just get carried away sometimes," I said with a long sigh as Elfina and Listenia walked into the room behind Claire.

Both of them were in white and light green dresses that had golden flowers printed on the white. Both dresses were similar, but both of the women looked amazing, almost too good.

"You both know that we are just going to the market to get food, right?" I asked, and Listenia rolled her eyes.

"It is an elven custom to always look your best when going out to mingle with the crowd," Listenia said with a haughty look.

"It is considered rude not to dress appropriately. While humans and the other lot mingle at all levels, Elves live in the ranks. While being High Elves, this does make us the strongest; I only applied this rule to myself when competing with the other goddesses. The others determine rank by skill, knowledge, and ability to contribute. The greater that you can succeed at honing your craft or skills, the greater rank you achieve. Part of this is dressing accordingly, so others do not consider you more than you are and embarrass you by pulling you into a conversation that you do not understand. Elves are prideful and sometimes end up making more fools of themselves by refusing to say they don\'t know something. This is part of the reason for these ranks," Elfinia explained, and Listenia nodded.

"Oh? Well, if this is part of your culture, I should also dress up a bit, yes?" I asked, and both women nodded.

"That would be nice but not required. Though, if you want to get the Elves\' help, you might want to think about that," Listenia advised, and I nodded, waving my hand for magic to surround me.

I was in casual jeans in a black shirt, but I changed that to become a black suit with a white dress shirt and a black overcoat that was open. I pushed back my hair, running my fingers and magic through it to make it look good and stay slicked back, and looked back at the woman.
