?: hum, excuse me…\\
near aria: hum, me?\\
?: you are one of the persons who came from the independent trade city, right?\\
?: I’m zenobia-sama’s teacher advisor\\ I’m studying this continent history as an hobby so…(hum)\\
?: can I ask you something about the trade city?\\
68
zeno: I always wanted to thank you for all the things you have done, Cecily Cambell\\
ceci: eh?\\
69
zeno: I’m talking about the Charlotte and the others’ incident\\
zeno: according to what they told me, I heard you were the one who proposed them to seek asylum here\\
ceci: (ah, no) I should thank you for accepting them that time\\
zeno: for someone like me that doesn’t have any siblings\\ I was happy to accept them as sisters and I welcomed them here\\
zeno: thank you very much for that\\
zeno: well then!\\
zeno: let’s move to the main subject\\
70
zeno: the worst inhuman on the whole continent history, Valbanill\\
irvi: as sign of our courtesy, we will explain out thoughts first\\
irvi: everything is based on blacksmith-dono’s collaboration\\
har: yes\\
irvi: the militant nation is stopping the evil that would make the continent fall into chaos without taking any concession right on Valbanill\\
irvi: our final objective is Valbanill total suppression\\ and we think that the “sacred sword” is necessary to that aim\\
71
irvi: on one side we know that Valbanil is a inexhaustible source that continues to spit out spirits…\\
irvi: but according to the data of the founder, Housman, it is clear that those spirits fulfil the role of the basic nourishment that makes it live\\
ceci: just like an eternal engine\\
ceci: so he is something that transcends life itself…\\
irvi: therefore the sacred sword is effective against Valbanill\\ because it is said that with its power of “banish evil” it can cut through the spirits\\
irvi: our only concern is\\
irvi: if the sacred sword can really be recreated once again\\
72
irvi: it was very kind of you to come all the way here, but\\
irvi: even the blacksmith admitted during the previous meeting in the trading city that the sacred sword is far from completion\\
zeno: probably the best thing we can accomplish by borrowing his help is to complete a sacred sword replica\\
zeno: that’s why we are thinking about that possibility as well\\ or rather we are thinking that that replica is our principal battle power\\
har: … in what way?\\
zeno: a single replica cannot kill Valbanill\\
zeno: but let’s suppose for the moment that the replica\\ can at least injure it\\
zeno: and then what will happen if there are 2 replicas?\\
73
zeno: or four replicas?\\
zeno: or 10, 50… or even more than 100 replicas?\\
zeno: that’s right, in simple words, our militant nation is considering of totally suppress Valbanill with a several hundreds of sacred swords replicas\\
zeno: we asked to blacksmith-dono to collaborate with us in order to improve those replica’s quality\\
zeno: the counter plan against the after effects of the suppression is…\\
zeno: to make the Brea Vulcan into a dormant Vulcan\\ at any rate that problem is far in the future, and we want to wait for blacksmith-dono’s decision\\
74
zeno: the principal cause of the great war that happened 44 years ago is no other than the system, the demon contract, that Valbanill created\\
zeno: the militant nation is different from the other nations that are using the Valbanill war as a mean to obtain something\\
zeno: we are racing against time here\\ that’s why the militant nation absolutely wants the independent trade city’s assistance\\
ceci: can I ask something?\\
zeno: ask anything you want\\
ceci: zenobia-sama, you just declared that you are weary of the demon contract\\
ceci: but I heard that the nations on the continent are maintaining the demon contract as a deterrent power\\
ceci: is you nation among them?\\
75
zeno: indeed\\
ceci: so what about renouncing to it from now on…\\
ceci: in exchange of the possibility of obtaining a power effective against Valbanill?\\
zeno: express your conclusions clearly\\ I hate when people don’t get to the point\\
76
ceci: I cannot trust a country that possesses a rotten power like the demon contract\\
77
doris: our workshop is on a different scale than yours…\\
lisa: ah\\
luke: stare\\
doris: hey boss, I brought the blacksmith here\\ can we enter?\\
??: you are finally here!!\\
??: sorry doris-san\\
??: but I cannot let him enter\\
78
doris: h-hey, wait!\\
doris: what’s the meaning of this!?\\
boss: we have our pride too\\ Even if we have to not comply with the little queen orders\\
boss: we will complete the sacred sword with our hands\\
boss: our technique belong only to us\\
boss: hey brat, sorry to have made you come all the way here, but we don’t need your skills\\
boss: hurry up and return home\\
