I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 152: Dating?

After finishing the day's work and returning, I checked Airi's condition and prepared for the next day.

For the past two months, I've followed this routine, but there were times when I had to stay long-term in a distant place.

The reason I could be somewhat free from the resulting anxiety was that a reliable helper stayed by her side in my absence.

"So, you mean you'll be on a subjugation mission for the next six months?"

"Yes, so I won't be able to return to the capital for a while."

In the workshop located in the basement of the mansion.

There, Tashian, who was in the middle of making equipment, began to touch the sword she had just finished.

The surface was gradually carved with grooves by the mana in her fingernail, and the inscriptions made by her delicate touch were a type of magical script called 'runes'.

Were these concepts that existed in this world since humans created writing?

Once engraved, they possess power and were mainly used in equipment crafting, but it was said that humans couldn't easily interpret or acquire the sense needed to engrave them.

"If you're going on an expedition for half a year, you need to prepare a lot."

Tashian not only handled such absurd skills skillfully but also handed me the results as if they were nothing special.

She always said she was sorry for not doing better, but I'd seen many weapons since my days as a porter.

I understood the great value of the weapons she made, but now I was too tired to be surprised, so I just gathered mana into the sword in my hand.

-Fwoosh!

As soon as I gathered the mana, the sword ignited.

When I swung the flaming sword at the target, the metal surface was scarred and scorched.

As expected, even though it had declined, it was a weapon made by a dragon. If put on the market, it would definitely fetch a high price.

"But by then, it will be time for the baby to be born. Can you come back at that time?"

"Well, I'm a bit worried about that too. Subjugations can sometimes take longer than expected."

After testing the sword's performance, I put it down and focused power into my hand.

*Buzz. *

The sound of mana was gathering and then merging with the sword.

When I felt the remnants of the spirit within the mana memorizing the shape of the sword and naturally gathering to me, I reached into the air to manifest the weapon.

"...Still, I should try to come back by then."

-Fwoosh!

A fierce flame rose from the sword made of mana in my hand.

That wasn't the result of me using mana to perform magic but because I perfectly replicated the rune engraved on the sword Tashian made.

Actually, runes exert their effect only when the letters are meticulously carved, but using the spirit's fine control abilities, some of those difficulties can be mitigated.

As a replica, it might be less powerful than the original, but in terms of versatility, it's much better since it can be manifested and used without carrying it.
