Goblins and Direwolves?<br>**[07:58] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's impossible.<br>**[08:00] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I agree.<br>**[08:01] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's more, they said the leader<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of these Goblins is a slime.<br>**[08:05] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What?!<br>**[08:07] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't quite understand that scenario...<br>**[08:10] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But if that's the case,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;then if that slime works for us,<br>**[08:12] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we'll be able to control the Direwolves, too!<br>**[08:15] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh!<br>**[08:16] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Two birds with one stone!<br>**[08:17] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What profound thinking!<br>**[08:19] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm glad I came along with you!<br>**[08:23] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just leave everything to me!<br>**[08:25] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah, Sir Gabiru!

You just decide the best heat<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;level for tempering by instinct?<br>**[08:38] Kurobei**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure do. I can tell from<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the color of the flame.<br>**[08:42] Kaijin**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I always measure it...<br>**[08:44] Kurobei**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I measure it the second time around, too.<br>**[08:47] Kaijin**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right, if the outside's cold,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it won't be pliable.<br>**[08:51] Kurobei**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you measure the amount of dirt <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you use when tempering, too?<br>**[08:51] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Kurobei and Kaijin hit it off immediately.*<br>**[08:54] Kaijin**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right, you gotta watch the amount, but the <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;quality of the dirt is important, too.<br>**[08:54] Rimuru**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They've been talking about this*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;technical stuff for two hours now.*<br>**[09:00] Kurobei**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, I can tell you what the best dirt is.<br>**[09:03] Kaijin**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That'd be great!<br>**[09:03] Rimuru**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I came to check in on them, but I couldn't*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;find the right moment to excuse myself,*<br>**[09:05] Kaijin**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Different dirt completely <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;changes the finished product!<br>**[09:07] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*so here I am.*<br>**[09:09] Kaijin**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right?<br>**[09:10] Kurobei**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Isn't forging fascinating?<br>**[09:11] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Y-Yeah...<br>**[09:13] Kurobei**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So about the water you use when tempering...<br>**[09:15] Rigurd**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is Great Rimuru in here?<br>**[09:17] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Nice timing!*<br>**[09:19] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's up, Rigurd?<br>**[09:20] Rigurd**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Great Rimuru, an envoy of<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Lizardmen has arrived.<br>**[09:28] Benimaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Great Rimuru.<br>**[09:30] Benimaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Would you mind if we accompanied you?<br>**[09:33] Benimaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We want to know what the Lizardmen are up to.<br>**[09:35] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course.<br>**[09:37] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Now, then...*<br>**[09:39] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Are we dealing with friend or foe here?*<br>**[09:49] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which one's the envoy?<br>**[10:00] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That's a rather dramatic entry...*<br>**[10:09] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hup!<br>**[10:15] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am Gabiru of the Lizardmen.<br>**[10:19] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You will all serve under me.<br>**[10:22] Gabiru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consider this a great honor!<br>**[10:24] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah, Sir Gabiru!<br>**[10:25] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're the best!<br>**[10:26] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So cool!<br>**[10:27] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're on fire!<br>**[10:29] All**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[10:31] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember him well.<br>**[10:34] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the man who will be the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;next chieftain of the Lizardmen!<br>**[10:39] Lizard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bow down!<br>**[10:41] All**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[10:42] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*"You will serve under me"?*<br>**[10:44] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*"Consider it an honor"?*<br>**[10:46] Rimuru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Bigshot!
