Chapter 1366: Lounging Ladies
Back in Alterra, things were slowly getting back to normal. Guests and citizens were out and about again, working, hunting, and enlivening the industries again.
Most of the guests, in fact, were causing the leisure industries to spike again. After all, the more pressing things have been handled, and everyone just wanted to relax again.
For instance, at this time, aborigine women Cassandra, Veronica, Olga, and even Gaia were treating themselves in the Spa.
They sat on comfortable, cushioned recliner chairs, with skilled masseuses massaging their bodies.
Someone was also handling their heads and faces, adding treatments and cool cucumber over their eyes, with another set of hands massaging their hands, arms, and legs.
The masseuse ladies were pressing away all the tiredness and soreness that had settled in their muscles— and it was divine.
“Ah… this is so nice…” Gaia said, breathing out, as if relieving herself of all the problems she had gone through.
“Hmmm…” Olga mumbled, moaning a bit when the masseuse hit the right spot on her shoulders.
To be frank, all the fighting during the war got her stiff shoulders. She had to move her body a lot to effectively control such massive water whips. Not to mention, she covered a large part of the wall, pushing away enemies trying to get up, possibly a hundred meters from where she was.
Physically, mentally, and metaphorically speaking: She was really stretched out, so having her muscles pressed like this was heavenly indeed.
“We can do this every day,” Cassandra said, seeing the others enjoy the treatment. “I certainly do when I can.” Her body ached a lot during her pregnancy, and even now during post-partum, so these massages were really lifesavers for her.
At night, Gill would also do it for her. Her heart warmed every time and, despite everything wrong with how they started, she just felt like a lucky woman.
How many women could say that their husbands helped ease the discomforts of pregnancy? It was more likely their husbands would be ‘comforted’ by other women instead!
“This is really too good… thank you for inviting us here,” another voice sounded next to them. This was Sahara and beside her was her mother.
The mother-daughter pair also had the honors of getting invited here. At first, they were tense with being with such people, but the massage was really so relaxing that they almost forgot about their nerves.
This was especially true for Sahara, whose body was still recovering from her birth.
The scenery in their house was also funny. When they received the invite, the mother and daughter were extremely anxious. However, Helios—whose shift was later in the night—pushed them to go through with it.
“I will take care of our daughter!” he said. “Don’t worry about it!”
He then proceeded to show that he could handle the baby well—he could really lull her, hum for her, make her laugh, and feed her as needed.
The two women were shocked, really. Their perceptions were really bent by the man. After all, they had never seen a man be able to take care of a baby so well—ever.
The group also listened to a relaxing sound that came from the spa’s music boxes. It had a recording of the wonderful musical instruments there, and a different set would play every so often. They could not get enough, and it was adding to the entire relaxation experience.
