[Ding! New skill unlocked! Libido Surge (LVL.1)]
"A new skill?" Thea asked herself in another room.
This room was the second bedroom which was located next to the bathroom. The room was still pretty big, it had a sitting area and a large king-sized bed. Mel, Lily, Mia and Reina were laying on the bed, all close to each other but not squished. Reisa was still awake, sitting on the couch, quietly cleaning her sword.
"Hope it wasn't too much work, let's go downstairs, the sofa here is stylish but not comfortable." Thea whispered into Reisa's ear before taking her hand and pulling her through a rift.
Stepping through the rift, both of them appeared in the cozy living room, warmed by a lit fireplace.
"Hey Reisa, do you want a new sword?" Thea asked as she flopped into the couch.
"A new sword? My sword was made by Master Durgan, so if you want to buy me a new sword of the same quality, it's going to be quite pricey hahaha." Reisa laughed while looking at her sword proudly.
"Ohh, is that so? Why don't you take a swing at my weapon then?" Thea simply said with a small smile on her face.
She then took out Sharpy in its dual blade form, running her finger over the blade's edge before holding it horizontally with the edge facing upwards.
"Swing at it, if my blade is damaged, I'll go shopping with you for an entire day and buy you everything you want. If your blade gets damaged, throw that scrap away and I'll give you a proper sword~" Thea said, while proposing a win-win situation for Reisa.
"Althea… I don't know why you are so confident, I'm sorry to say this but whoever sold you those blades, scammed you. They look nice and fancy but they are dull, even the material seems to be cheap impure steel. Put those blades away, you might still be able to get a refund if you return them." Reisa caringly said while trying to help Thea.
Firstly, Reisa had noticed when Thea ran her finger over the blade's edge, and as the blade didn't cut her, she thought the blades weren't sharp. Secondly, the material the blades were made of seemed to be steel that was darkened through the addition of impurities. Last but not least, when Thea had used Sharpy during the examination, they were in their gauntlet form and Reisa never witnessed them changing shape so she had no clue they were the same weapon.
In Reisa's mind, Thea was scammed at a weapons store and because of the good design of the blades, was tricked into thinking it was a good weapon.
"How mean~ These blades cost me nothing, so go on, strike it~" Thea said with a playful grin, egging Reisa on.
"... If that's the case, I won't turn down a day of shopping with you, don't regret this~" Reisa said with a smile before striking at Thea's blade.
Like Thea predicted, after Reisa's sword struck her own, it was left in its peak condition.
"H-How?" Reisa whimpered as she looked at her sword that was cleanly cut in two.
"I told you, didn't I? That scrap wasn't any good. Now tell me what weapon do you want, another sword?" Thea gently asked as she pulled Reisa into the couch, embracing her lovingly.
A few seconds passed until Reisa finally reacted.
"Where did you get those blades? Which master blacksmith made them? Why haven't I heard of them?" Reisa asked as she turned her head to look at Thea.
"Well I'm the one who made them, anyways can you tell me what type of weapon you want?" Thea casually asked.
Thea could feel Reisa tense up when she said that, but after a few moments of silence Reisa finally spoke.
"Can I choose any weapon?" Reisa hesitantly asked.
"Of course~" Thea confirmed as she sweetly kissed Reisa's nape.
"Then I want a spear." Reisa said, seemingly having made up her mind.
"Ohh, why a spear?" Thea asked.
"I trained with it at home and prefer it over a sword. To be honest, I only used a sword because I wanted to stay close with Reina, but… well I know now I don't need to do that to stay close to her…" Reisa meekly said with a shy voice.
"I see~ Do you want a blade on your spear or just a pointy tip?" Thea started asking for specifics.
"Hmm, if possible I want the blade to be about 1/4th of the spears length." Reisa said in a thoughtful manner.
"Like this?" Thea asked as she quickly made a sample spear using [Metallurgy].
"Woah… Can the blade be a little thicker?" Reisa asked.
Thea and Reisa continued playing with the spears design for a few minutes until Reisa was happy with it, after that, Thea started raising the metal's quality, all the while she was cuddling with Reisa.
Thea continued to lay in the sofa with Reisa embraced in her arms, half an hour later Reisa's spear was finished, decorations and enchantments included. Like Mia's weapon, Reisa's weapon wasn't over powered. The spear was made out of mithril and was enchanted with 3 enchantments: [Binding], [Self Repair] and [Auto Return]. Thea decorated the blade with some Egyptian hieroglyphic inspired inscriptions.
After Reisa dropped some blood onto the spear and put it away, the two of them enjoyed each other's embrace, snuggling on the sofa until the other girls came downstairs.
Thea had also taken this time to check the new skill she received.
