Chapter 6: The Troubled Polka[edit | edit source]

Hana:
Polka......san?
Clea:
Yes! Polka, along with Cork-chan, are very good friends of mine.
Clea:
She's a great girl who's easy to talk to. You should be able to make friends wih her right away, Hana-san.
Hana:
R-Really.......
Kamuri:
Ah, it's Hana.
Eiko:
Clea and Kirara too, you three are going out together?
Kirara:
Are you two going out as well?
Kamuri:
We're going to see Polka.
Eiko:
Yeah. Seems like Kamu got completely absorbed in the Polka who was forging weapons.
Kirara:
Eh? She's not absorbed weapon forging, but instead Polka herself? What do you mean?
Kamuri:
Polka's expression while forging a weapon......It just somehow looked cute.......
Clea:
Ah, I kinda get it.
Kirara:
Eh, you do?
Eiko:
Well, that's exactly why we were about to head to the blacksmith's shop.
Clea:
We were about to go there too.
Eiko:
Heeh. Then let's all go together.
(Transition, in Polka's place)
Polka:
I'm stuck, I'm stuck. Arghh this is a pain......
Polka:
Oh no, this is awful......Hmmmm, what should I do, what should I do......
Clea:
Polka, what's the matter?
Polka:
Oh, Clea! Eiko and the others are here too. Actually, I'm in serious trouble now......
Hana:
Serious trouble......?
Polka:
Hmm? ......Aren't you the girl who's with Eiko and Kamuri when I saw you all? ......Errr, you are......
Hana:
I-I'm Ichinose...Hana.
Clea:
Say Polka, what's wrong exactly?
Polka:
A customer's kid had been messing around with me when they were here, and now my pilot light for the furnace is gone!
TL: A pilot light is a small flame, which serves as an ignition source for a more powerful fire.
Clea:
Pilot light.......You mean the flame you always take good care of so that it'd never go out?
Polka:
Yeah. That kid was lucky that he didn't burn himself......
Eiko:
What sort of thing is that? The pilot light, that is.
Polka:
Well......It was originally a flame I brought back from a lava lake on a sacred mountain located in this region.
Polka:
It's a flame of magic that utilises the powers of that sacred mountain to raise the temperature of the furnace fire higher than normal, as I put it in the fire.......
Kamuri:
Polka, you can't work without that flame?
Polka:
Yeah, you're right.... Now I have to go up there and bring myself a new flame yet again......
Kamuri:
Then your shop will be closed for the time being.......?
Polka:
But I received a pile of orders just yesterday......
Kirara:
Can't you use a normal fire without that pilot light?
Polka:
No, of course not! With a normal fire, the finished products wouldn't be weapons I've wanted to make, well, errmm......
Eiko:
They wouldn't reach the level where Polka would stand proud and proclaim "That's my creation!", right?
Polka:
Yes! That's exactly I wanted to say!
Eiko:
I understand your persistence, but in that case, things are getting more and more troublesome for you......
Polka:
Tomorrow......No. I must get a new flame in the surface no later than the day after, or else I won't be able to meet those deadlines.
Polka:
That's why I'm at such a loss......
Clea:
But that sacred mountain isn't that far away, is it? If we head up there now, wouldn't we be able to obtain a flame right away......?
Kirara:
Really? Then you aren't really at a loss after all, are you?
Polka:
Well, you've got a point, but.......
Eiko:
Is something the matter? In case Polka isn't going, how about I go in your place?
Kamuri:
I'm going with Eiko.

Kirara & Clea:
We too!
Polka:
Uhhh, I'm grateful that you're all willing to go for me......
Polka:
But there's this complicated contraption up there on the sacred mountain.......
Polka:
Hmm? Hold on..... 1, 2, 3......There're 6 of us in total huh.
Polka:
......Guys, will you really come with me to the sacred mountain?

Kirara & Clea:
We already told you the answer just now!

Eiko & Kamuri:
Yeah yeah.
Polka:
......Well then, I'll be counting on you all!
Polka:
I can perhaps obtain a new flame with everyone's help!
