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

Chapter 130 Mother Daughter Partner Breakdown



Eliza remained calm like she had just spoken the most normal thing, and it possibly was, but not in this melon it wasn\'t.

"Wait, so let me get this straight!" I said, taking a deep breath.

"Was the water bad? Should I ask Kylie to get us both some new glasses?" Eliza asked. "I really don\'t want to spit mine all over the floor."

"The water is not the problem! So you\'re telling me that you do the mating ritual, get an egg, and then do it all over again with your daughter?!" I asked with what I was sure was a crazy look in my eyes from the way that Eliza shrank back.

"I mean, not everyone does that, but they usually make the best partners. I guess where you are from, they don\'t do things that way?" Eliza asked hesitantly, and I shook my head.

"From what I know, no. No, it is not. Still, there is no blood relation, so maybe that is the way it is supposed to be. This is all so confusing. So a child is a full grown, freshly birthed woman, and they know nothing but make great partners, but for which mom?" I asked, just deciding to go with it. There was no going against the tides on this one.

"The bottom is always the mom. Tops have to submit to another top to become a mom, or that is what I am told. I am probably not the best person to be talking about this with. I don\'t have much experience," Eliza said as she put down her menu. "I think I am ready to order."

"What are you getting?" I asked.

"Chicken salad with toasted bread chunks. There is a thick and garlicky dressing that they put on it that is really good," Eliza said as she waved at Kylie, who came right over, looking at the ground.

"Was the water bad?" Kylie asked after looking up from the water on the wooden floor.

"No, I am sorry about that. Eliza had just said something surprising, and I spit my drink out in shock," I explained, and Kylie lifted her eyebrow curiously, looking at Eliza.

"I just told Galio about mother-daughter partners. This is not something normal where he is from," Eliza explained, and Kylie nodded, looking back at me.

"I think you met a pair today, right? You helped Daphne and her daughter, Velma, right?" Kylie asked, and I blinked.

"Really?! They look nothing alike!" I declared.

"Yeah, or that might be weird, but then again, if you were both as pretty as either, there would be no reason not to! I was thinking of doing the same once I save enough money to take some time off! There is no guarantee that you will find your partner, but the chances are much greater," Kylie explained, and I nodded.

As much as this was weird to me, I was starting to understand what was going on here. It wasn\'t that they were actually blood-related children. They were just random women from where, I was not sure, but not actually related in the way that I assumed.

I took a deep breath and let it out.

"Okay, I think that I get it now; it was just a bit of a culture shock for me, but I was just working myself up, it seems," I said with a grin, and Kylie smiled back with a wink.

"Have you decided what you are going to have yet?" Kylie asked as she turned back to Eliza, who had the menu back open.

"Umm, I guess I will get the chicken salad," Eliza said with a sigh and closed her menu.

"As usual then?" Kylie giggled, and Eliza scowled, but I looked at Eliza with a grin.

"You really like the salad, then?" I asked, but Kylie spook up, still giggling.

"That is the only thing that she has ever gotten here!"

"Kylie! Don\'t tell Galio that! What is wrong with all of you?! Can\'t I keep my quirks to myself?!" Eliza demanded, and I reached over to squeeze her legs.

"There is nothing wrong if you like it. You are just a creature of habit. You tend to do the same things, and I think it is cute, so don\'t worry about it. Just like when I come back to see you waiting for me on the steps," I said with a smile, and Eliza sighed.

"I just wish people would talk about the good things that I do!" Eliza complained, and I nodded.

"We are definitely going to have to get you doing some of these good things to get people talking then!" I laughed, and Eliza scowled at me.

"What do you mean?! I do good things! I... I... I might need to do some good things...." Eliza said while raising her hand in the air and rising up in her seat, only to sink back down and trail off.

"You had a rough start, but I am here now, and you are going to come and help me after the morning training with O\'Lee. I think that you and I will have a private chat tonight!" I said with a raised eyebrow, and Eliza nodded.

"I will go get your order to the cooks, and I will get it out to you both right away!" Kylie said and left our table.

"You are really good at making me feel better, even when people tease me. I normally don\'t like going out and only do it because I was told to. People always talk about me like this but are never really mean; they just point my flaws out. Like I don\'t know them," Eliza said, and I nodded.

"We are going to change that. By the time you get back to this island, the world will know your name, and no one will dare point out your flaws!" I said, and Eliza grinned, hugging herself.

"There you go again. Just your words make me feel all warm and bubbly inside," Eliza smiled, and I nodded.

"That is Positive Energy for you. The only magic that everyone can do!" I laughed.
