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

Chapter 131 First In Line



"So, what is this big floating place you were talking about?" Eliza asked after our food was brought out to us.

We had been talking more about other mother-daughter pairs while waiting for our food, but now that it was here, we switched topics.

"Well, Since we are going to have all the women from the wall looking for work after then, I thought I should try to find something for them to do. I assumed they would want to come with me, but they might just want to stay behind. Then there are the other women that seem to want to join us to help, but it seems silly to only have to do work for us," I explained as I took a bite out of the sandwich, making a moaning sound as I did.

The sandwich was delicious, and they had even given me a small bowl of Au Jus, basically its own broth from cooking. Dipping it in made it absorb and soak into the crusty bun, giving the sandwich even more depth of flavor.

"So, you are just going to make everyone work for you? I guess that is a good way to make money," Eliza said as she picked at her salad.

"In a way, yes, but they will just be renting a space on the ship from me. I think this way should work out really well. The only problem I see coming up in the future is that there will be times when it is harder to get certain supplies. We will supply the businesses with whatever I earn from helping out on the islands and put it back into making the ship better. Since we will be living in a floating palace, it should be nice," I explained.

"I still don\'t get how this is all going to work. I do like the idea of it; I just have never heard of anything like this before," Eliza said, taking a bite of her food.

"Yes, this is a new concept. I got the idea from everyone saying this island is the friendliest and the other islands aren\'t as much. There are going to be times when we might have trouble getting things from the places we visit. I thought that if we could make a place that they would want to visit, it might help out with our relations. Not only that, but it will be good to be self-sufficient if not everyone is going to want to share or sell to us," I explained.

"So you are going to make it, so people want to come and visit us on the ship?" Eliza asked, and I nodded.

"In a way, yes, that is what we are trying to do. This will also help the women earn money, and they can leave at any time that they want. This will also give me a lot of space to collect more people with talents if I want to. The more we can make people want to visit us, the easier my job on the islands is going to be. It will be better for everyone to know who we are and what we do and offer. That will get people lining up to come to see us!" I laughed, and Eliza smiled.

"You know, for someone that likes fighting so much, you are sure to get excited about this," Eliza smiled, and I shrugged.

This was exciting to me because I was going to have a place to put people and teach them things, but that was only part of it. The best part was that these people would always come up with new ideas, foods, and inventions. I was going to be the first in line to try them out.

This world was like a mix of every life that I had ever lived. Small bits of knowledge from each of the worlds were spread out. This meant that I could teach and give people ideas about what knowledge they had. With that, they could create new things that not even I would have been able to think up.

I was only one person, after all.

"This is a chance for us to do something really interesting and a chance for everyone that joins us to create new and interesting things. As much as I like fighting, watching people grow and reap the rewards from it is not bad either. When people come up with new dishes, we will be some of the first to try them. And there will be other inventions in the future. So yeah, creating a place that fosters people to be able to grow and produce amazing new concepts and ideas is pretty exciting," I chuckled as I explained, and Eliza nodded.

"When you put it that way, it sounds kind of exciting, but you will need a big ship. That means that you are going to have to talk to the Peekaan. They have the only shipbuilding yard, but they also have ships for sale. I have no idea how much they will cost, but I can see if Senna can find out," Eliza said.

"Good. Maybe I will zip over there with Senna tomorrow. If Lady Katarina isn\'t found by then, I want to go have a look around for her. If she is what I think she is, we don\'t need her casting spells in the background to mess with us. That is how people die, and I don\'t plan on losing people when I fight this monster," I explained, but Eliza gave me a stranded look.

"Can you really expect to beat something like what you described the Riftwalker to be without anyone dying?!" Eliza reclaimed, and I nodded.

"If I can, I will try to make sure that no one even gets hurt. There is a universal law that is the same no matter what world you are in. If anything can go wrong, it will. This means that if there is a chance something bad will happen, it most likely will, or you should assume it will. Even though I only have a short amount of time until the creature attacks, I am going to use it to prepare for whatever it can throw at us," I explained.
