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

"What do you mean by that?" Elfinia asked, and I shrugged.

"You can keep the powers or not; it is up to you," I replied plainly, and Elfinia's scowl deepened.

"And what happens if we say no?" Claire questioned as she looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and I smiled at her.

"Nothing really... I will find others to take your place, and you will continue adventuring with me or do whatever you want to," I explained, but Elfinia released an exasperated breath.

"Why would we not want our powers back and to become who we were meant to be?!" Elfinia demanded, but Claire looked up at her.

"I don't know if I still want to be a goddess. Seeing the type of God that Galio is, I just don't think I am cut out for that. I thought I was, but the Angels Realm is a mess. The Seraphs are hated universally, but none of them care, and they make others' lives hell. I don't think I can fix that or anything," Claire said, turning all her eyestalks on the Elf. "Do you really think you did the best job for your people? Or were you just trying to be the strongest? I am starting to see my faults, but are you?"

Elfinia stepped back and turned away with a scowl but didn't reply to Claire. I was just as surprised as the Elf was because I hadn't known that Claire felt that way about Angels and Seraphs. This meant a lot to her; maybe it would set things right.

"We will talk more in-depth later, but for now, we need to head out to the carriage," I said after a long moment of silence had passed between the three of us, and both girls nodded before they followed me out of the room quietly.

When we got outside, more people were milling about going about their day-to-day lives with no idea what was happening beneath their feet or who ran this town from behind closed doors. I needed to get this done with the girls fast so we could capture Grimora. Killing her would be useless since the demoness would just get sent back to the Underworld and could be resummoned for more sacrifices.

I led the ex-goddesses to the wagon, and inside the Spatial Lodge I had created. All the time, I was pulling in massive amounts of magic to the point that I was glowing white when we got inside.

"So, what is it that you need for us to get the magic back? Are you going to have your way with us in some weird sex ritual?!" Elfinia demanded, and Claire looked between us with some shock on her face, and her single eye peeled back.

​ "W-What?! I am n-not ready for that! We haven't even k-k-kissed properly yet!" Claire stuttered, and I scowled at Elfinia as I closed the door.

"Stop blowing things out of proportion. I just have to kiss both of you while putting my hand on your chest to create Mana Wells inside of both of you. You will have ghosts of your old wells that I could just breathe the Pure Magic into, but you would only have human-level Mana Wells, which is pointless. This will also make you much stronger as goddesses if you do decide to return to your posts," I explained, and Claire's face got really red as she went to sit down on a bench seat.

The first part of the lodge looked like a super large carriage. An open door led into an open-concept wood lodge with beds all over the place and a second level with more since this was more than I was used to fitting.

"S-So... umm, do we have to d-d-do it for a long time?!" Claire stuttered as she looked down at where she was poking her index fingers together nervously, and Elfinia let out a huff as she walked out of the room and into the lodge.

"You are so shy! This will only take a moment, and then you can return to doing whatever it is that you do!" Elfinia exclaimed as she flopped down on a bed while kicking her feet up in the air. I sighed deeply, wondering why all the girls that I got close to were troublesome in some way or another. Maybe it was just my luck, or I just attracted those types of people.

"Fine, but be quick about it," Claire said after a moment of silence had passed between us, but it would take more than a moment. Still, Elfinia's world calmed Claire down, and I walked over to sit down on the bench beside her.

She didn't look up at me with her central eye, but the ones on the stalks of her hair were looking up at me. She was adorable like this, but I couldn't spend too much time with her, so I slowly took her chin into my hand. I used my other hand to gently press between her modest breast, and Claire let out a small gasp. I turned her head up to mine at the same and pressed my lips into her pillow-soft kiss that tasted like the strawberry shortcake I bought for Breya and her but even better than the food had tasted.

Claire slowly kissed me at first, but then, bit by bit, she melted into my arms as I slipped around her. That was when I started to pour the magic into her while using some of it to create a new and much more extensive Mana Well at the same time. As I slowly dimmed, Claire got brighter as our kiss became more passionate, and I pulled away after a few minutes.

"Okay, that is enough," I said as I got up from the bench, and Claire's eyes were glassy as she looked up at me with confusion.

"W-What happened?" Claire asked in a daze as she looked down at her hands that were glowing.
