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

In all honesty, the girls weren't wrong, and I probably looked less than inspiring in the poorly fitting uniform. A haircut might not be such a bad idea either.

I had been born into this world as a grown person, but the clothes I came in were still in the village. My hair was shaggy, and I was starting to grow hair on my face. That was one thing I was confused about.

"Quick question. Why has everyone asked about every part of me but not the hair on my face?" I asked as Karla and Silvy pulled back, but Senna was the one that answered with a giggle.

"That is because it is one of the most offensive things to talk about in public. We are very sensitive about facial hair."

"Oh? Well, men grow facial hair like this normally. Albeit, some can't grow it as well as most," I said, scratching my scruffy chin.

"So then you don't mind if people ask you about your facial hairs?!" Silvy asked curiously.

"No," I said, and that gave me a strange idea.

"Really? Well, this has been one of the most debated things on the wall, and I am sure that it has been no different for the women of the city. We have all been wondering if you knew that your face was covered in hair. We get some hair like that, but mostly on the top lip," Karla explained, and I smiled with a grin.

"The mustache!" I laughed, looking at the stage.

"The must ask? What must it ask?" Senna asked from beside me, and I chuckled.

"Mustache, all one word, but that is a good joke! I mustache you a question!" I laughed, and Senna groaned.

"Oh lord, you are starting to sound like my mother! She always uses puns!" Senna complained from beside me.

"You Otter be Kitten me! Lesbian honest, mother sounds like someone I would get a thong with!" I laughed, but I noticed that some of the women around us had stopped crying.

They were even small smiles, and that put credit to the thought I was having.

"Okay, I am going to go up to the stage and try something out. I have no idea if it will work, but the Positive Energy from our laughter seems to be enough to help the people that can hear us," I explained, and Senna gave me a look.

"What are you going to do? Try to make everyone laugh until the sadness is going?" Senna asked skeptically, and I nodded.

"I am not going to try! I happened to be pretty funny when I wanted to be! I don't think I have ever been a stand-up comedian, but it is about reading the room!" I laughed, and Senna sighed.

"Well, people around us do look better, so maybe there is truth in your words, but I thought that you said this wouldn't work?" Senna asked.

"Truthfully, I didn't think it would, but results don't lie when you can see them firsthand. I mean, this could be bad, and I make things worse, but I will try not to tell any jokes that are out of taste," I smiled.

"What kind of jokes are you going to tell?" Silvy asked curiously.

"Pft, the only kind that you can understand, Lesbian jokes!"

"Let's Being jokes? I think they might not work if we don't understand them," Silvy said, and I rolled my eyes.

"Lesbians are what you women are in a world where there are men. Lesbian is two women loving each other intimately; Gay is when men love each other," I explained, and Karla nodded.

"Gay makes sense because they are happy together. Gay means happy."

"True, and women are also considered Gay, but for today's jokes, I will explain the word, or it won't be as funny!" I grinned, and the girls shrugged.

"You seem to know what you are talking about, so we will just trust in you, as always," Senna said and then turned to the women. "Since we seem to be full of this Positive Energy, maybe we should go sit in the center of everyone?"

"That is a good idea! You three should get the jokes, so your laughter will be infectious. The idea is to get everyone laughing," I said, and the three women nodded and left me.

I turned back to the stage I had been eyeing and took a deep breath in, and then let it out. I did this a few times.

This was my idea, but I was going to be getting up on stage in front of a very tough and crying crowd. Not really the ideal stage setting for a comedian, but that just meant my job was a bit harder.

I started to move onto the stage, albeit slowly, but I could feel everyone's eyes on me with each step.

I had been unsure about laughter when coming here, but seeing the people around my group had pushed me to this. All I needed to do was get a couple people laughing, and it would spread.

"Laughing, after all, is one of the best cures for sadness," I muttered to myself as I got up on stage and walked over to the center.

Normally, the lights would be turned down for a show, but this wasn't normal. Instead, the whole place was lit up, and I could see all the tear-filled faces.

Suddenly, a feeling washed over me of dread as I looked out at all the faces. This wasn't like the one I had come to know, but it still made me feel like what I was doing wasn't right.

My heartbeat started to pick up, and a small bead of sweat ran down my back as I felt nervousness set in.

What if they didn't like my jokes?

What if I just made things worse?

I could feel the Negative Energy from the crowd starting to affect me, but it wasn't as easy to shake when it was your own. I needed to get my shit together, but my anxiety was starting to get to me.

"Galio! Make us all laugh!"

I looked out, and Senna had her hands cupped around her mouth. Those worlds burned away the Negative as I remembered why I was up here.

"Ladies! Today has been a hard day, filled with sorrow and tears, but I am here to change this!" I shouted, and the room went deadly silent.

Yup, this was going to be a tough crowd, but I had the support of my friends Positive Energy. Now it was time for me to return it tenfold.
