SIGN    Tradesman's District
[00:00] GUIDE
    That will be difficult.
[00:03] LIGHT
    What?! Uh...
[00:05] LIGHT
    But we heard we could find
    a good workshop here.
[00:12] GUIDE
    Well, most of the workshops in the
    Tradesman's District favor the Holy Sister.
[00:16] GUIDE
    Not many would be willing to help Luxeria.
[00:19] LIGHT
    Isn't there anything you can do?
[00:20] LIGHT
    I really want a sword!
[00:24] GUIDE
    If there's one possibility, it's the
    Bolst Workshop on the west side.
[00:29] LIGHT
    The Bolst Workshop?
[00:31] GUIDE
    It's the weapons workshop of Bolst,
[00:35] GUIDE
    a legendary blacksmith of exceptional skill.
[00:37] GUIDE
    He seems to be experiencing
    some trouble recently, though.
[00:41] LIGHT
    A legendary blacksmith?
[00:43] LIGHT
    Write me a letter of introduction!
[00:44] LIGHT
    I'd like to have the
    ultimate sword made there!
SIGN    Episode 6
    The Legendary Blacksmith
[02:23] LENA/ID
    I wonder if Light and Ayla
    are doing all right.
[02:32] LIGHT
    They really do sell all kinds of stuff.
[02:36] AYLA
    I'm excited to see a sword made
    by a legendary blacksmith.
[02:40] MAN 1
    Hey, wait!
[02:42] LIGHT
    Whoa!
[02:45] LIGHT
    What's going on?
[02:50] MAN 1
    We've got you cornered.
[02:54] MAN 1
    Give yourself up!
[02:59] LIGHT
    Talk about lame.
[03:01] LIGHT
    Three big men ganging up on one girl?
[03:05] MAN 1
    When did he get here?
[03:07] MAN 2
    Stay out of this, outsider!
[03:10] LIGHT
    Whoops!
[03:12] LIGHT
    Stay behind me.
[03:14] MONICA
    But then you'll be...
[03:16] LIGHT
    It's okay.
[03:17] LIGHT
    Sword God can easily
    handle the three of them.
[03:22] MONICA
    Don't slash them with your sword!
[03:26] MONICA
    What? It's broken?
[03:30] MAN 2
    Don't underestimate us.
[03:34] LIGHT
    Sword God Style,
[03:38] LIGHT
    Hilt Strike!
SIGN    Hilt Strike
[03:44] MAN 1
    Wh-Who is this guy?
[03:46] MONICA
    Not bad.
[03:53] LIGHT
    Are you hurt?
[03:54] MONICA
    No. I appreciate the help.
SIGN    Monica
[03:57] MONICA
    Thanks. I'm Monica.
[04:00] LIGHT
    I'm Light.
[04:02] LIGHT
    This is Ayla.
[04:03] AYLA
    Nice to meet you.
[04:05] MONICA
    This girl...
[04:08] MONICA
    She's real cute!
[04:10] MONICA
    I love tiny kids!
[04:12] MONICA
    Oh, right.
[04:13] MONICA
    Come to my place so I can thank you.
[04:15] MONICA
    I'll treat you to some
    tea and tasty pancakes.
[04:18] AYLA
    Pancakes?!
[04:20] LIGHT
    Sorry, but we'll pass.
[04:22] LIGHT
    We're on our way to the Bolst Workshop.
[04:25] MONICA
    Oh, that's my place.
[04:28] LIGHT & AYLA
    What?!
[04:29] LIGHT
    Seriously? Are you a workshop apprentice?
[04:31] AYLA
    What a coincidence.
[04:35] MONICA
    I'll show you there. Follow me.
[04:39] LIGHT
    So this is the Bolst Workshop.
[04:42] LIGHT
    That's a pretty impressive shop front.
[04:44] MONICA
    Come on in.
[04:49] LIGHT
    Huh?
[04:50] LIGHT
    Where are the other tradesmen?
[04:52] MONICA
    There aren't any.
[04:53] MONICA
    I make and manage everything by myself here.
[04:56] LIGHT
    What?! You mean...
[04:58] MONICA
    Welcome to Monica Bolst's
    blacksmith workshop!
[05:02] AYLA
    This person is...
[05:04] LIGHT
    The legendary blacksmith?
[05:07] MONICA
    I'm delighted to hear you came
    after hearing about my reputation.
[05:11] MONICA
    To thank you for saving me,
    I'll show you my best product.
[05:16] MONICA
    Ta-dah!
[05:18] LIGHT
    A hole-filled...
[05:19] AYLA
    Frying pan?
[05:21] MONICA
    That's right. When you fry dough in this...
SIGN    Chocolate-covered
[05:24] MONICA
    it makes ball-shaped pancakes!
[05:26] MONICA
    I call this invention the Monica Pan.
[05:29] MONICA
    Additionally, this mold can be removed.
[05:32] MONICA
    It works great as a regular frying pan, too.
[05:35] MONICA
    Buy now and I'll throw in a fish mold,
    a heart mold, and even a cat mold.
[05:39] MONICA
    At 2,000 gold, this five-piece
    set is a bargain.
[05:41] LIGHT
    That's so expensive!
[05:42] MONICA
    But as a special offer to you,
    I'll halve the price to 1,000 gold.
[05:48] MONICA
    How could you not buy it, right?
[05:54] LIGHT
    Well, I prefer to eat one big pancake.
[05:56] MONICA
    Why? You can create all kinds of
    shapes with the same ingredients!
[06:00] LIGHT
    The shape doesn't matter once
    it's inside your stomach.
[06:03] MONICA
    It's an innovative item,
    but no one will buy it.
[06:07] MONICA
    I tried to sell to those people earlier, but
    they said I was ripping them off and chased me.
[06:12] LIGHT
    That was your fault, too!
    Choose better customers!
[06:14] LIGHT
    Anyway, I guess blacksmith workshops make
    not just weapons but frying pans, too.
[06:19] MONICA
    These days I mostly sell household tools.
[06:23] LIGHT
    Hey, this is a hoe blade.
[06:25] MONICA
    Are you interested in farming tools, Light?
[06:28] LIGHT
    I grow fruit.
[06:31] MONICA
    Fruit, huh?
[06:32] MONICA
    I bet harvesting them is hard work.
[06:36] LIGHT
    I guess.
[06:38] LIGHT
    I do everything by hand.
[06:41] MONICA
    Then let me see your hand.
[06:44] MONICA
    I see.
[06:46] MONICA
    Okay. Let me make the
    perfect product for you.
[06:51] LIGHT
    R-Right in front of us?
[06:53] MONICA
    To thank you for saving me, y'know?
[06:56] MONICA
    I'll make it using a morcyte ore ingot.
[06:59] MONICA
    It's a cheap, light, and rust-resistant metal.
[07:01] MONICA
    First, you heat it in a
    furnace and temper it.
[07:07] LIGHT
    Could it be?
[07:10] AYLA
    "Super Forge."
[07:12] AYLA
    It's a skill that gives metal the desired
    properties by striking it with a hammer.
SIGN    <<Super Forge>>
[07:17] LIGHT
    The desired properties?
[07:19] MONICA
    That's right.
[07:20] MONICA
    Once I hit something with a hammer, I can
    freely change the material's hardness.
[07:27] LIGHT
    Wow! There's no better skill
    a blacksmith could have.
[07:32] MONICA
    Then you bend the heated section
    and form it into a sharp blade.
[07:38] MONICA
    As a finishing touch, I add my signature.
[07:43] MONICA
    And Monica's harvesting shears are complete!
[07:48] LIGHT
    They fit my hand perfectly.
[07:50] MONICA
    Try cutting this firewood.
[07:53] LIGHT
    What? You can't cut firewood with shears.
[07:58] LIGHT
    It worked?!
[08:00] LIGHT
    But I barely used any force!
[08:02] AYLA
    It split in two.
[08:03] AYLA
    Since they're shears, Sword God
    shouldn't have activated.
[08:06] LIGHT
    These shears are just that sharp.
[08:09] LIGHT
    You really are a legendary blacksmith!
[08:12] MONICA
    Now you know.
[08:14] MONICA
    Now, then, those shears made just for you
    could be yours for the special price of—
[08:19] LIGHT
    Ms. Monica!
[08:20] LIGHT
    Please make me a sword!
[08:23] MONICA
    Huh?
[08:24] LIGHT
    I came here to have you make
    the ultimate sword for me.
[08:32] MONICA
    I can't do that.
[08:34] LIGHT
    What? Why not?
[08:36] LIGHT
    Does this workshop favor
    the Holy Sister, too?
[08:39] MONICA
    No, I just don't want to make swords.
[08:42] MONICA
    I hate swords.
[08:47] MONICA
    Won't you reconsider?
[08:50] MONICA
    I'll make you anything else you want.
[08:52] LIGHT
    Yeah, but I need a sword.
[08:57] MONICA
    I'm sure you do.
[08:58] MONICA
    I figured the moment I saw you looking for
    a workshop with that broken sword of yours.
[09:03] MONICA
    I even brought you here hoping
    to sell you a Monica Pan.
[09:08] LIGHT
    Just how determined are you to sell that?!
[09:10] MONICA
    I need someone to buy it.
[09:12] MONICA
    I need to prove I'm needed as a tradesman
    even though I don't make swords.
[09:18] LIGHT
    But the guide told me you're
    a weapons workshop.
[09:23] MONICA
    They meant the workshop across
    the street, not mine.
[09:27] LIGHT
    Across the street?
[09:29] MONICA
    Yeah.
[09:30] MONICA
    The other Bolst Workshop.
[09:38] CAIN
    Boss!
[09:39] CAIN
    We've still only made 20%
    of this week's deliveries!
[09:42] IVAL
    Crying about it won't get it done!
[09:46] IVAL
    Put your backs into it!
[09:48] TRADESMEN
    Yes, sir!
[09:55] TRADESMEN
    Ms. Monica?
[09:59] IVAL
    What are you doing here?
[10:01] MONICA
    Make this guy a sword, Dad.
[10:03] LIGHT & AYLA
    Dad?!
[10:06] IVAL
    So you're pushing customers
    you can't satisfy onto me?
[10:10] MONICA
    What?! Well, it beats making weapons
    to sell to shady merchants!
[10:15] IVAL
    Mind your own business!
[10:16] IVAL
    Go back to your shop and make
    those foolish pans of yours!
[10:19] MONICA
    What'd you say?!
[10:21] LIGHT
    Do these two have a rocky relationship?
[10:23] AYLA
    They're at each other's throats!
[10:27] MONICA
    I knew I shouldn't have come to
    this stubborn old man's workshop.
[10:31] IVAL
    That's right, get out of here.
    You're in the way.
[10:34] CAIN
    Ms. Monica, don't be that way.
    Please come back.
[10:39] MONICA
    Sorry for the trouble. I'm leaving now.
[10:43] LIGHT
    So, about my sword...
[10:46] IVAL
    Unfortunately, my hands are full with
    a big order for the next half-year.
[10:50] IVAL
    Ask someone else.
[10:52] LIGHT
    But I still really want
    Monica to make my sword.
[10:58] AYLA
    Perhaps we'll have to try asking again.
[11:01] CAIN
    Excuse me.
[11:02] CAIN
    Your name is Mr. Light, right?
[11:03] CAIN
    I'm Ival's apprentice Cain.
[11:06] LIGHT
    Huh? Did I say my name?
[11:09] CAIN
    I watched your duel against Grouse.
[11:13] CAIN
    I couldn't believe it when a no-name newbie
[11:15] CAIN
    sent that arrogant famous adventurer
    flying with a deck brush.
[11:19] CAIN
    It was so awesome that I became a fan.
[11:24] LIGHT
    But because of that, those who favor
    the Holy Sister have shunned me.
[11:30] CAIN
    So that's why you came here.
[11:32] CAIN
    The boss and Monica are just
    about the only blacksmiths
[11:35] CAIN
    in the Tradesman's District who
    don't favor the Holy Sister.
[11:38] LIGHT
    Oh, yeah. Why do Monica and your
    boss run different workshops?
[11:44] CAIN
    Ms. Monica used to be a
    blacksmith at our shop, too.
[11:49] CAIN
    They became highly-regarded throughout
    the Holy City in the blink of an eye
[11:53] CAIN
    after she acquired her Super
    Forge skill three years ago.
[11:56] CAIN
    They were called the legendary
    Bolst family blacksmiths.
[12:00] CAIN
    But half a year ago,
[12:02] CAIN
    a supply wagon was attacked by
    bandits outside the Holy City.
[12:08] CAIN
    The boss's mother—Ms.
    Monica's grandmother—
[12:12] CAIN
    who happened to be riding with
    them was unfortunately killed.
[12:16] LIGHT
    That's terrible.
[12:19] CAIN
    The Security Bureau arrested
    the culprits right away,
[12:22] CAIN
    and Ms. Monica's signature was on
    one of the confiscated weapons.
[12:28] LIGHT
    What?
[12:30] CAIN
    Naturally, Ms. Monica had no direct
    connection to those bandits.
[12:35] CAIN
    Her weapon had gone through several owners
[12:37] CAIN
    before winding up in the
    hands of scoundrels.
[12:41] CAIN
    Regardless of how it happened,
[12:42] CAIN
    when she learned the sword she made
    had taken her grandmother's life,
[12:46] CAIN
    Ms. Monica was deeply wounded.
[12:48] LIGHT
    So that's why she hates swords.
[12:51] AYLA
    I feel sorry for her.
[12:53] LIGHT
    But why can't she get along with your boss?
[12:57] CAIN
    Because...
[13:00] ZAMDO
    Hello, apprentice.
SIGN    Zamdo
    Blackbird Merchant Group Representative
SIGN    Doug
    Zamdo's Underling
[13:04] ZAMDO
    Is Ival around?
[13:08] LIGHT
    Who are they?
[13:09] CAIN
    Our customer, a weapons merchant.
[13:12] ZAMDO
    I am Zamdo of the Blackbird
    Merchant Group.
[13:15] ZAMDO
    I feel like I've seen you before.
[13:19] IVAL
    You have business with me, don't you, Zamdo?
[13:24] ZAMDO
    Yes, sir.
[13:26] ZAMDO
    Don't scowl like that.
[13:29] ZAMDO
    I have additional orders.
[13:31] ZAMDO
    Additionally, we'll buy your
    weapons weekly for a year.
[13:36] CAIN
    That's absurd!
[13:37] CAIN
    We're already barely keeping
    up with our weekly deliveries!
[13:41] DOUG
    If you can't do it,
[13:43] DOUG
    we'll have to turn to your daughter
    with that skill of hers.
[13:48] DOUG
    Anyone who deals with weapons would kill
[13:51] DOUG
    to get their hands on a rare
    skill like Super Forge.
[13:55] DOUG
    You could mass-produce high-quality
    swords out of low-quality materials.
[14:00] LIGHT
    But Ms. Monica said she can't make swords.
[14:03] ZAMDO
    We can use force to make her.
[14:07] ZAMDO
    I may be a merchant, but I'm merciless.
[14:11] AYLA
    That lightning... Could it be?
[14:14] IVAL
    I never said I couldn't do it.
[14:17] DOUG
    Huh?
[14:18] IVAL
    Give me the contract.
[14:21] ZAMDO
    Thanks again.
[14:24] CAIN
    The Blackbird Merchant Group is
    using Ms. Monica to demand a deal.
[14:29] CAIN
    The boss is forced to accept their
    terms in order to protect her.
[14:34] IVAL
    Apparently she really doesn't like me selling
    weapons because of what happened with my mom.
[14:40] LIGHT
    So that's why she left the workshop.
[14:42] IVAL
    Kid, don't tell Monica about this.
[14:45] LIGHT
    Why not?
[14:46] IVAL
    Because it's not necessary.
[14:48] IVAL
    I only know how to make a living
    by making and selling weapons.
[14:52] IVAL
    That's all there is to it.
[15:04] MONICA
    Yes?
[15:06] LIGHT
    Hey there.
[15:08] MONICA
    No matter how many times you
    ask, I'm not making a sword.
[15:10] LIGHT
    Let's go get dinner.
[15:12] AYLA
    Tell us where we can get some tasty pizza.
[15:18] MONICA
    I'm in.
[15:21] MONICA
    I was so surprised to learn you
    have the Appraisal skill, Ayla.
[15:25] MONICA
    If the Tradesman's District finds out about it,
    everyone will want a piece of you.
[15:28] MONICA
    Heck, I'd love to have you at my workshop.
[15:32] AYLA
    But I want to adventure with Mr. Light.
[15:34] AYLA
    I can't become a tradesman.
[15:37] MONICA
    You're an honest girl.
[15:39] MONICA
    You're lucky to be loved by such a good girl.
[15:44] LIGHT
    Well, yeah.
[15:45] MONICA
    This is my treat.
[15:47] MONICA
    Order whatever you want.
[15:49] AYLA
    Can I order more pizza?
[15:51] MONICA
    Of course.
[15:52] LIGHT
    Are you sure? We invited you.
[15:56] MONICA
    I genuinely want to thank you for saving me.
[15:59] MONICA
    But I can't make what you want.
[16:03] MONICA
    And honestly, I'm just happy.
[16:06] MONICA
    I haven't eaten with someone
    else in half a year.
[16:10] LIGHT
    In that case, I'd like a mushroom pizza,
[16:12] LIGHT
    high-quality herb-grilled meat,
    and grape juice!
[16:16] MONICA
    You really didn't hold back, did you?
[16:21] HOLY SISTER
    Thank you for coming in
    the middle of the night.
[16:25] ZAMDO
    Not at all. I'd rush to respond
    to any summons from you.
[16:30] HOLY SISTER
    I'll need more weapons soon.
[16:33] HOLY SISTER
    Could you get them to
    me as soon as possible?
[16:36] ZAMDO
    As you wish. Also, the boy...
[16:39] ZAMDO
    Light Underwood showed up in
    the Tradesman's District.
[16:43] HOLY SISTER
    Oh?
[16:44] ZAMDO
    We've already taken action.
[16:47] ZAMDO
    We should be able to
    present him to you soon.
[16:51] ZAMDO
    Our methods may be a bit rough, though.
[16:54] HOLY SISTER
    That's fine.
[16:56] HOLY SISTER
    I'll dispatch a spy so the Security
    Bureau does not interfere.
[17:00] HOLY SISTER
    But I do not want him dead.
[17:04] HOLY SISTER
    Make sure you capture him alive.
[17:09] ZAMDO
    Very well.
[17:12] MONICA
    I'm stuffed.
[17:13] DOUG
    Hello, Ms. Monica Bolst.
[17:17] DOUG
    Do you have a minute?
[17:19] MONICA
    You're one of the weapons
    merchants dealing with my dad.
[17:23] MONICA
    What are you doing—
[17:25] AYLA
    She refused to make your sword,
[17:28] AYLA
    but Ms. Monica seemed like a nice person.
[17:30] LIGHT
    Yeah.
[17:34] CAIN
    Mr. Light!
[17:36] CAIN
    Terrible news!
[17:38] CAIN
    Could you come to our workshop?
[17:43] CAIN
    This note and Ms. Monica's goggles
    were stuck to the front door.
[17:49] AYLA
    "We have Monica Bolst."
[17:51] AYLA
    "If you want her back, send Light Underwood
    to the underground arena alone."
[17:57] AYLA
    Is this...
[17:59] LIGHT
    ...a kidnapping?
[18:00] TRADESMAN
    The underground arena is the Blackbird
    Merchant Group's stronghold
[18:03] TRADESMAN
    on the outskirts of the
    Tradesman's District.
[18:08] CAIN
    Boss?
[18:11] CAIN
    Please calm down!
[18:13] CAIN
    A bunch of Blackbird Merchant Group
    combatants are surely waiting there.
[18:17] CAIN
    Tradesmen like us don't
    stand a chance against them.
[18:20] IVAL
    Then am I supposed to stand around
    until the Security Bureau arrives?
[18:24] LIGHT
    Mr. Ival.
[18:26] LIGHT
    I'll go alone.
[18:29] LIGHT
    They asked for me.
[18:31] LIGHT
    There's no need for you to take any risks.
[18:34] IVAL
    Hey!
[18:35] AYLA
    Mr. Light!
[18:37] IVAL
    Kid, do you have a plan?
[18:40] LIGHT
    I'll be fine. Keep Ayla safe.
[18:56] MONICA
    What is this?
[18:59] MONICA
    What are you planning to do to me?
[19:01] DOUG
    Don't make a fuss. You're the bait.
[19:04] MONICA
    The bait?
[19:05] DOUG
    We're gonna capture Light Underwood
    when he waltzes in here to save you.
[19:09] DOUG
    Then we're gonna put both
    of you to good use.
[19:12] MONICA/ID
    They're after Light, too?
[19:14] DOUG
    Since you've got that skill, you're gonna
    spend your whole life making weapons for—
[19:20] MERCHANTS
    What was that?!
[19:23] LIGHT
    Thanks for the invitation.
[19:26] LIGHT
    Not that I was happy to receive it.
[19:30] MERCHANT 1
    It's Light Underwood!
[19:33] DOUG
    The fool!
[19:34] DOUG
    Release the Raging Taurus!
[19:35] MERCHANT 2
    Yeah!
[19:49] DOUG
    This beast that's slaughtered
    countless duelists
[19:51] DOUG
    and the Blackbird Merchant
    Group's elite will take you on!
[19:56] MONICA
    This is bad!
[19:57] MONICA
    Don't worry about me! Just run!
[20:04] DOUG
    You think a lone kid like
    you can do anything?!
[20:10] LIGHT
    Enough talk.
[20:13] LIGHT
    Go to sleep.
[20:27] MONICA
    Huh? What happened?
[20:32] LIGHT
    Don't waste your time on kidnapping.
[20:36] LIGHT
    You're safe now.
[20:41] LIGHT
    Let's go home, Monica.
[20:44] MONICA
    Light...
[20:46] MONICA
    I owe you another favor.
[20:54] LIGHT
    Hey.
[20:55] AYLA
    Mr. Light!
[20:57] IVAL
    Monica!
[20:58] CAIN
    Ms. Monica!
[21:00] IVAL
    Is she hurt?
[21:03] LIGHT
    No, she's fine.
[21:05] LIGHT
    She inhaled some lingering Sleep
    Pixie scales after I rescued her.
[21:09] MINI MONICA
    Such pretty scales.
[21:11] MINI LIGHT
    Aw, crud.
[21:13] LIGHT
    She'll wake up eventually.
[21:15] IVAL
    Honestly, what a troublemaker.
[21:18] LIGHT
    Is there someplace I can lay her down?
[21:21] CAIN
    In the main house.
[21:27] IVAL
    Kid.
[21:29] IVAL
    No, Light. Thank you.
[21:33] LIGHT
    You're welcome.
[23:05] NOA
    Black Swan and the Blackbird
    Merchant Group.
[23:08] NOA
    Is it really necessary to spend so
    many resources on Light Underwood?
[23:12] HOLY SISTER
    I want to know if he truly is the A priori.
[23:19] NOA
    And what if he is?
[23:26] AYLA
    Mr. Light, the Blackbird Merchant
    Group is attacking again!
[23:29] LIGHT
    All right. Let's get this over with.
[23:32] AYLA
    Be careful. The enemy boss's skill is...
[23:35] LIGHT
    Set your sights on becoming
    the greatest adventurer ever!
