Chapter 88: A Gift for Mia
"Uhm, Althea what are those daggers made of?" Mel asked as she watched Mia holding the daggers.
"Ohh I made them out of mithril." Thea casually answered.
When the girls heard this they both had different reactions, Mia coughed and tensed up slightly while Mel's eye twitched.
Thea had noticed the reaction and to calm them down, she followed up on what she said previously.
"Ohh don't worry about it, I can raise the type of metal but in order to do that it would take too much time, also at the current moment I enchanted the daggers with some simple enchantments that will help Mia but won't give her an overwhelming advantage so she can still learn and improve." Thea said, seemingly proud of herself.
To this Mel just sighed, Mia on the other hand stayed tensed up and Thea who was sitting close behind her petting her head and scratching her ears could feel this. So she stopped petting her head, then wrapped her hands around her abdomen and drooped her chin on Mia's shoulder, hugging her from behind. Mia was flustered in the beginning, but after a couple of seconds she started enjoying the sensation.
While this was going on, the stone Mia was holding flickered brightly before the original glow completely disappeared. When this happened Thea felt Mia tremble softly and start to breath unevenly.
"Mia?" Thea said softly as her head was practically already next to Mia's, she then inspected the now normal looking stone Mia had dropped.
[High Grade Inspect Stone (Used): When the inspect stone is used, details about the object inspected become known to the user.]
'Hoh, so this is the famous inspect stone. I guess this is how those adventurers find out about the effects of their gear.' Thea logically thought, having some of her existing questions answered.
As Thea was thinking, her attention returned to Mia and how she had just reacted.
"Think of this as a gift for becoming mine, I'll give you something more impressive when you are stronger." Thea whispered as she gently kissed Mia's cheek.
Mia was blushing hard but ended up nodding cutely.
'I'm sure there is an enchantment that can help me with this, right?' Thea thought.
She then quickly activated her [Metallurgy] and made a simple ring. As the size of the ring was small, she needed much less mana to craft the necessary object, and thus she could use the same amount of mana but would require much less time to make a small glob of mithril again.
She then formed the glob into a simple ring and quickly looked in the list of enchantments.
Thea browsed for a few minutes and when a nearby couple started moaning loudly her concentration further worsened, but it didn't matter anymore as she had found the enchantment she needed.
[Mental Tranquility]
Without inspecting the enchantment she added it onto the ring and quickly put the ring on her finger.
As she did, the uncomfortable warmth in her body disappeared, her breathing which had become uneven returned to its steady tempo and her rapidly beating heart calmed down.
When Thea was fully focused again she inspected the ring she made.
[Ring]
[Type: Mental]
[Grade: A]
[3 200/3 200]
[Effect: Mental Tranquility (Calms the users mind and allows the user to think clearly.)]
'*Fuuu* Well problem solved.' Thea thought to herself as she looked at the couple loudly moaning in an alleyway close to her.
