Chapter 113 DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWER?!

? The hug lasted for almost five minutes, but I wasn't complaining. I was sandwiched between all the women, boobs squishing into me from every direction. Pretty much winning in all aspects of the day.

I had defeated the Undead Riftwalker, cured the women from the wall of their madness, and now My Karma System was paying off. Overall, this was a great day if you put aside the bad that came with it.

"I see that you have things underway here," Tallia's familiar voice called to me from outside my circle of women.

I looked over, and the women started to clear out of the way as the Goddess walked toward me. Senna, Silvy, and Karla backed away from me, but the three of them and the other girl with green hair that had made the joke stayed close.

"Yes, I think that things are good here now. How are things going over at the Care House?" I asked as Tallia walked up to me.

"Good, or I wouldn't be here. The robot seemed to get the hang of it fairly quickly. If you are done here, I would like to have a short chat with you about the Golems," Tallia said, and I nodded, turning to the girls.

"I will be back after the talk, so make sure that everyone is in good shape. If anyone is still feeling down, make them wait for me, and I will help them more directly. Please don't let anyone leave that doesn't look like they are in good spirits," I explained, and the four girls nodded, but the unnamed green-haired shorty put up her hand. "Yes?"

"I am still feeling a bit blue," The girl said, and I opened my arms.

"Come give me a hug then," I said, and the green-haired girls smiled and practically jumped into my arms, hugging me.

"Sorry! I didn't need the hug, but I wanted to get my own from you! My name is Ellie, and I am one of the Fae Children! My people are very interested in you, so I would like to talk with you sometime! Since we aren't needed on the wall, I could also come with you when you leave! I could act as your guide!" The green-haired girl said quickly into my ear before she let go of me.

So this is a Fae? She is a bit taller than I had thought, but I was sure there would be some that were a lot smaller.

"Sure, Tomorrow you can walk with me while I make my rounds," I said, and Ellie nodded at me.

"Sounds good! I will be at the Manor entrance when you leave in the morning!" Ellie said and then turned and ran back to the other girls.

I turned back with a smile to Tallia, but she was giving me a look.

"What now?" I asked.

"You seem to have a thing for half breeds," Tallia said as she gestured for a portal to open.

"A thing? I have a thing for women. I would have a thing for you, but you like to use that thing as a punching bag," I groaned.

"Lucky me. I guess that I should make sure to keep that "thing" in shape and beat it more often," Tallia said as she walked through the portal.

I groaned and followed her, but my frustration was blown away as I walked into a majestic throne room.

There were silver statues that each had white dresses like the one that Tallia wore, but they each had different jewelry. The strange thing was that the clothes and jewelry were no part of the statues. They were actual clothes and real gold jewelry with gems of all colors.

"They are the past human Goddesses. When they ascend, their bodies become silver," Tallia said as she gestured around, but then she pointed to the second last statue, but unlike the others, it was black and naked. "This is the result of a Goddess that has failed her people. They are stripped of their clothing and forced to descend to the lower Mortal Realms once again to begin the climb to Goddesses once again."

That was a rough way to go, and that had me curious about what it took to become a Goddess. Just how many lives must one live to reach this point?

"Five Hundred, just like you. Why you are here instead of a woman is far beyond what I can imagine, but that is neither here nor there. You are here, so you need to help me deal with the problems springing up. I know they are not your problem, but by coming to this world, you have become responsible for it," Tallia told me as she walked over to a lavish silver throne with blue cushions.

"I mean, I was already going to help anyways, but since when are this world's problems mine?" I asked.

Not that I would stop helping, but Tallia's attitude was starting to piss me off. How could I love someone so much who acted like this?

"Since you woke up the Undead Riftwalker," Tallia said.

"Excuse me? You do know that if I wasn't here, in three days, that would mark the beginning of the world's end, right? Sure, I trigger the Undead one to wake up, but that is a pittance compared to what will be summoned. I think you need to rethink how you talk to me. I didn't ask to be reborn here, and this isn't the first time this has happened. I have been reborn five hundred times now, and you are the only thing I can remember. Why? Why is this person that is my only attachment treating me this way? DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWER?!" I roared, and Tallia's eyes went big.

There was silence between us as I glared at her, my heart pounding so hard in my chest that it hurt. I just wanted to love this woman. I just wanted to hug and hold her, but Tallia saw me as nothing more than a problem she needed to deal with accordingly.
