After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Rivals in Love
“How nice of you to give advice,” Cassandra quipped as soon as she gathered herself.

Juni’s face didn’t change, “Of course. I want Gill to be happy, you see.”

Cassandra’s lips pursed. As a tomboy who avoided women drama by running away in parties and hiding someplace filled with peace and quiet, she was not equipped for verbal fights like this.

But she pursed her lips and her rare violet orbs meeting the other’s. “Gill is mine to make happy, you don’t have to worry about that.”

Juni’s face didn’t change, in contrast, she even smiled a bit. She walked over and looked at Cassandra. Cassandra was taller physically but she felt a bit smaller than Juni at this time.

“We’re not sure how long he will be happy, right?” She said, “After all, you two came from different worlds. Do you know of a couple who had done well?”

Of course not! How many times do transfers happened?

But it was enough to cast doubt on Cassandra. Just a little.

But Orcshit—she wouldn’t let it get to her!

“Well, it’ll definitely be exciting. There’s a reason Gill chose me, even if we are from different worlds.”

“…”

“…”

Veronica watched the two with complicated expressions. She couldn’t help but remember the short but happy times in the spa. Their friendship was real and it was so much fun!

She had very, very few friends (only Cassandra) because of her reputation. She was so happy to have found another one here, and was similarly heartbroken when she was lost.

She felt sad. She really, really, wanted them to be friends again.

Then, her mind churned and her eyes brightened at a bright idea. It was so ‘bright’, her pink eyes sparkled in pride as if she was a genius who had just thought of the most ingenious idea!

“Hey, you two, listen to me,” she said, and the two turned their heads to look at her. She cleared her throat with a smile, “Can’t you two just share?”

“WHAT?” The two exclaimed and although they weren’t screams, they were a lot more high-pitched than their usual tone and it shocked Veronica.

The pink-haired girl immediately raised her hands in surrender. “I’m sorry.”

Juni looked at her with crossed arms, “Unlike in this world, we don’t share our men here.”

Cassandra’s eyes shook and she also crossed her arms. “What made you think I’ll share Gill with you?”

Silence and some imaginary electric sparks exchange between the two women. They didn’t even notice the small crowd of onlookers, very happy to be there for the gossip.

It was at this moment that the Golds entered the store. They were a little surprised by the atmosphere and their eyes zoned in on unusually colorful hairstyles in an area.

The siblings watched the tense atmosphere with interest, particularly when they saw familiar faces.

It was Cassandra, staring down at another equally-gorgeous woman. They didn’t know who the other was, but she really matched against the beautiful Cassandra.

The atmosphere didn’t last as the other woman soon excused herself, buying the basketful of items she had been holding.

Just like that, she left gracefully, as if nothing inside bothered her at all.

“Are you going to take it?” Veronica asked Cassandra, seeing that she had been holding onto the special earthenware bottles a bit tightly. A bit more and she could damage it.

“No,” Cassandra said after a while, putting it back.

She turned and their eyes widened at the acquaintances.

“Olga?”

Olga crossed her arms and looked at the younger woman. Although they were a decade apart in age, and living in different places, they were easily in the same generation with their lifespans.

Cassandra’s Town was Bluelle’s subordinate town so she was often in their city growing up. Cassandra’s parents wanted her to hook up with the more esteemed city nobles and while she didn’t put much work into that, fate still brought her to the Golds.

Instead of boys though, she admired the fiery Olga much more. She often followed her around since she was a child. It was how she ended up befriending the profilgate brother Oslo in the first place.

The two women were genuinely happy to meet.

It took a while but Cassandra did notice the other of the Gold siblings. They raised their hands in greeting and then resumed to observe the surroundings. Unlike the women though, their reaction was milder and even a little scared at the borderline-rabid women who were way too excited when they looked at bottles.

And those stuff… weren’t cheap! The women here seemed to be so rich they could throw their money on face paint?

They knew for sure Olga would stay here a while and they were already antsy with impatience.

Olga saw this and rolled her eyes. “No one’s forcing you to enter!”

As an only (legitimate) child, Cassandra had always been envious of those with siblings. Olga was definitely the big sister she yearned for. In retrospect, she probably tried dating Oslo so she could legitimately call Olga her sister.

But the encounter from before was still fresh, and she couldn’t mutter her usual enthusiasm.

Olga could see the usually-strong woman shaken and she smiled, distracting her. “Guide me?”

Cassandra nodded and the two separated from the men.

As for the men, though curious about the feminine wiles (well, not really), they were more curious about plenty of other things outside.

“Wanna go to the gambling building?” Ansel asked, Oslo nodded, and every other man in their party brightened.

Of course, if Garan knew Ansel was bringing the babies into a gambling house, he’d definitely throw him back to the barracks.

However, this wasn’t something Ansel thought about at this time. First, he was really excited to guide his new friends. Second, the gambling houses in Altera were naturally not like those of Terran.

And so, the men and boy separated from Olga, planning on meeting up with her in the inn, and having their own little adventure.
