"Ooh, healing! I'm not good at that either!" Myrtle giggled. "The last time I tried to do it, I got all panicky and ended up killing the entire party! 

"That's why my combat main is Weather Mage! It's an easy job to play where you can just sit back and blast the boss as much as you want!"

Weather Mage by many was considered to be one of the easiest classes to play in the game. You simply needed to press your buttons at the correct order, within a lenient time limit. The only difficult part was finding the ideal places to cast your spells, since some of them had cast times where you had to stand still for a second or two.

"So, why did you pick Paladin?" She leaned forward, asking with a smile. Curiosity had overtaken her. Why would someone pick such a stressful job? She had to tank for her party after all!

Their steps took them to the mansion straight away. Truthfully, now that she was here, in the flesh, not in front of a computer, she wished she had more than just a single maid. It would no doubt be really fun to have a full army of maids greeting her whenever she came back!

But, knowing how servants tend to come from in this world… yeesh.

"Here we are!" She declared once they entered the front door. "Feel free to look around as I text my friends."

As Myrtle sat down on the nearest leather couch, Azure popped up from the room to the right of the main hall. Quickly, she ran over to Agaue and greeted her with a bow.

"Oh, welcome back, Miss Myrtle." She gave a short glance towards the sitting girl. "And you too, Miss Selinofoto. Apologies for the rush. I am still busy preparing the snacks Miss Myrtle had requested. Please, if you would, I shall lead you to the guest room."

Myrtle on the other hand was busy messaging her friends. She had activated the option that allowed a conference call with someone on her friend list. That option wasn't there before but now it was.

"Aand… start!"

An hourglass symbol appeared on the floating screen, with a text that said, "Waiting for approval"

[i]Ding.[/i]

An image appeared, showing a redheaded girl standing in the middle of a cobblestone road with old-looking buildings all over her.

Myrtle quickly recognized it as a place in Sen Rynta, bringing a smile on her face.

[i]Good! This means she can come![/i]

It was her friend, Anastasia. And also her loyal customer. And main supplier partner, as she had leveled up all the gathering classes.

"Hey! Anastasia! It's me, Myrtle! Yes, the player, not the character! You've been transported here too, right?"

"A-ah, Myrtle?! Is that really you?! You're here too?!"

"Yes, I'm here! I'm in my mansion actually." She grinned. "Why don't you come over? You know where it is, right?"

"Y-yes! Don't worry! I'll be there right away!"

The call ended with a blip. The video feed disappeared, revealing the friend list behind it once more.

[i]Oh, that poor, timid girl. She took it a lot worse than me, no doubt about that. Guess it's up to me to cheer her up.[/i]

That was what Myrtle liked about her. She was so timid she wouldn't dare to jack up the price of her goods, consistently providing her with a good net income ratio.

The perfect business partner for the conniving alchemist.
