500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System
Chapter 208 Butter Tart BarterGoldy hopped through the portal, and Kajita stepped back in surprise.
"You can just call Goddesses to you with a single word?" Kajita asked as she looked between the shorter Goddess in gold and me. She was looking really good today, and the dress gave off enough cleavage to pull a man off a passing cart.
"I wouldn't say that I am at his beck and call, but the world is pretty strange right now. I also wanted to spend some time with the Cat God," Goldy said as she came over to take my arm in hers, pressing it into her cleavage. I smiled down at her and nodded. This was killing two birds with one stone.
"I did mean to ask you to come out today, but things have been pretty hectic. Sorry for calling you to borrow money as well. I just didn't really want to have to fly all the way back to Northwall to grab some change," I said, bringing my cat tail around to curl the little golden Goddess, making her moan into my side.
"Mmm! it is just as good as Listenia said! Ah! Very nice job with Elfinia as well! I just had to go and see how things turned out, and oh my! The look of pure hatred she gave me was not something I ever thought I would enjoy as much as I did this morning. She is lucky that the other Goddesses don't have free reign like me to come to the island. I am sure there are a few that would like to give her a piece of their minds now that she is weak like this," Goldy explained, and I nodded.
"Well, none of them are going to have a turn to poke fun at her. That is not the point of all of this. If that was the case, I just would have tied her up and the market and let the women throw old fruit at her," I said, and Goldy nodded with a smile.
"Personally, I think that is a waste of fruit. I think hurling insults would do better. Someone does have to clean the mess up after. Now, what is this mini pie thing? Why have I not seen this before?" Goldy asked.
"I am not sure. I just ordered them. They are really good, though. They seem to be like something that I have tried before in another life, so I was interested in seeing if they were the same. If they are, I think you are going to love them," I said as I ordered us a few.
Kajita brought us the mini pies, and Goldy's eyes lit up as she passed the woman a golden coin. Kajita almost choked on her tongue as the shiny coin fell into her hand.
"I don't think that I can make change for this," Kajita said, but Goldy waved her off.
"The rest is for a tip. I can smell the sweetness coming from this delectable treat, so I know that it is going to be worth the tip!" Goldy exclaimed as she wafted the large butter tart under her nose, breathing in deeply as she did, and then
"Oh my! These are amazing! What is in them?" Goldy asked as she took another bite.
"Butter, sugar, syrup, and eggs, I think," I said as I took a bite of my own, closing my eyes and letting out a moan. The pastry was like a crisp pie shell, but the caramelized sugary flavor was just out of this world.
"Well, whatever it is, it is amazing. I think I will have to come back here more often," Goldy said as she finished her pie, and I nodded as Kajita came back to the table.
"I'm glad you like them. We just started making them this week. I'm glad you came in today," Kajita said, and Goldy nodded as she licked her fingers.
"I will definitely be back. Your pies are amazing. I might have to bring the other Goddesses here as well. I'm sure they would love them just as much as I do," Goldy said, and Kajita's eyes lit up.
"That would be wonderful. We would love to have you all here," Kajita said, and Goldy nodded.
"You should sit down for a moment. I would like to ask you some questions, if you don't mind?" I asked, and Kajita nodded.
"Of course not. What would you like to know?" Kajita asked, and I leaned forward.
"How long have you been running this place?" I asked, and Kajita thought for a moment.
"Oh, about six months now. We just opened up last summer. We're doing pretty well, but it's been hard work," Kajita said, and I nodded.
"I can imagine. It's always hard work when you're starting something new. What made you decide to open up a bakery?" I asked, and Kajita shrugged.
"I've always loved baking. It's always been a hobby of mine. I decided to take the plunge and see if I could make a business out of it," Kajita said, and I nodded.
"I'm glad you did. Your pies are really amazing. I'm sure you'll do well," I said, and Kajita smiled.
"Thank you. I hope so. We've been doing pretty well so far," Kajita said, and I nodded.
"That's good. I'm sure you'll do even better with the Goddesses coming here. They'll love your pies just as much as I do," I said, and Kajita's eyes lit up.
"Really? You think so?" Kajita asked, and I nodded.
"I know so. You just wait and see. They'll be lined up out the door to get your pies," I said, and Kajita smiled.
"I hope so. That would be amazing," Kajita said, and I nodded.
"Now to the real reason why I came to talk to you. What is the deal with the Easterners sleeping so much?" I asked, and Kajita sat back in her chair, letting out a long sigh.
