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!
