Chapter 294: CH.291 Status Update

“Wow. This is nice. Great work Wilma.” I thanked Wilma for her work, as she returned my mithril sword to me. 

It had been taken apart for two days now, and Wilma had made a new grip, guard and pommel to it, as well as a new scabbard. It now looked a lot better, and something that a noble might actually use. I did like the simplicity of the old one, but this is better. The grip also felt … grippier? I don’t think that is the correct term, but it was easier to hold onto and easier to index the blade. You know, making sure the edge will hit the opponent and that stuff. Still, the visual upgrade was probably the more important part, as now it is something more than just a fighting weapon. Now it is also a status statement.

But yeah. Wilma had taken … is it three days then, considering that she began during that night? Yeah. Design day and then two more days after that to make this piece. Quite fast, considering that she is only able to work on this while we are stopped for meals, or for the night.

 

As for what I’ve been doing for the past two days, well, I do have a lot of design work to do. You know, HomeBase and all of that. For that reason, I’ve been spending a lot of the day in the Factory, to the point where my sense of time is a bit off. Factory does operate at an accelerated time compared to the real world, so staying there for what is there a bit over 8 hours, and it only being 4 on the other side does cause some minor issues.

 

Anyway. Outside of that, I’ve just been hanging out with Alice and Lua. They deserve my attention outside of my 9 to 5 job. Wait, I don’t have one. It is just me working on my own project.

When it comes to them, Alice has finally gotten her Fire Magic skill. You know, from the install of Molten Destruction a while ago.
