Chapter 1606: The Red Settling Down (Part 1)

Meanwhile, the girl’s tea time ended soon, with the Terrans Aditi and Ria having to go elsewhere for a group project or something related to their jobs, leaving the three aborigine women behind.

Cassandra, Veronica, and Estra stared at each other. Veronica then told her friend she’d be touring Estra. “Wanna come with us?”

Cassandra blinked and pondered.

“Isn’t it your free day today?” Veronica said with a smile, gently poking her friend. “I’m sure your husband would be glad to know you maximized your day~”

Cassandra was making a living helping in clearing missions, as well as being one of the managers in Olga’s business. The rest of the time, she spent with her daughter.

Today was her day off at work, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law insisted on bonding with the child, leaving her with a lot of time on her hands and unsure what to do with it.

Her eyes met with Estra’s…a woman who was once proud and arrogant and someone she didn’t think she’d ever befriend in any meaningful way.

This one still had a lot to prove, and a lot to fix and make up for, but Cassandra felt for her situation. There was also a faint feeling of approval. After all, there were very, very few women—especially noble women—who’d take the risks she took.

In the end, she smiled and shrugged. “Sure, why not?”

She’d also take this time to get to know her more and determine whether she’d be an asset or a liability for her new home.

…

After the short tour, Estra dragged Veronica and Cassandra to the Bathhouse.

They had introduced this to her during their tour, and Estra was determined to experience the place. As a noblewoman, she had naturally been to a few bathhouses, but it looked so different from the outside, and she wondered what else was different.

Not to mention…

“I deserve this,” she said, entering the threshold as she looked around with interest sparking in her eyes.

“I’ll allow this for now, but you do know you can’t splurge like this every day—not unless you find a stable source of income,” Veronica said as advice. The previous Estra might see this as her overstepping, but right now she understood that she was right.

“Yes, yes, help me out with that,” Estra said. “In exchange, I’ll treat you to the spa.”

Well, it’s not too bad a deal.

Of course, they also didn’t expect it to be easy. Estra was raised as a noblewoman. It was hard to imagine her in any kind of job.

The fortunate part was that Estra was from a City, so even if she wasn’t a fighter, at level 29, most town-level monsters were doable to her. She could even just hang around the battlements and clear monsters from there, like many others did, which was safe and easy.

In Alterra, they called this Battlement Farming, where people would literally shoot down or slash down monsters weakened by the sentries for easy contribution points.
