Wait a second! Right now, you're carrying too many items with you. Please come back after putting some of your things into Kafra Storage.

[Hein]

It looks like you want to ask me something. Heh, my customers used to have that look on that faces too when I worked as a weaponsmith...

Back during those days,

I never accepted money for my work. Father always used to say, 'Never accept payment to forge a good weapon. It... It...'

What was the rest of it?

Why can't I remember the

rest of that saying?!

It's so weird.

How could I forget

something I used to

say all the time? I...

I hate being dead!

Nuts! Why can't I remember

the rest of that saying?!

Mm? I can tell you've here because you've got something to do. It's weird enough to see a living being here, and weirder still to see one who's here for a good reason.

Do me a favor

and stay alive.

Take it from me,

there's no pleasure

at all in being dead.

You're here!

I just finished my work!

You want to see it, don't you?

Now, take a deep breath...

Haha~!

This is great!

Finally, my life's

work is complete!

This weapon's name

is Edge!

is Dragon Slayer!

is Excalibur!

is Schweizersabel!

Well...

It looks like this is goodbye for now. I can already feel my memory getting hazier. Haha, being dead is definitely not good.

Thank you for your help. If you come back and help me retrieve

my memories again, I'll try to help you as well. So long, adventurer...

Mm...?

The stuff you brought seems to be just what I need to finish my work. Let me have a look at them...

Wow...

How did you know the materials

I needed? It's almost too good to be true! Alright, we're that much closer to finishing my life's work!

Oh, that's right. Skill alone isn't enough to create this. We'll also need your luck. First of all, we need to test if your luck is good today.

We're going to play 'Rock, Paper, Scissors.' If you win at least 2 out of 3, we'll go ahead and start crafting this thing!

But if you fail in this game, I'll have to expel your negative luck by throwing out a lot of one of the ores you've brought along.

Here's a piece of paper.

When I tell you to, write down 'Rock,' 'Paper' or 'Scissors.' I'll do the same thing, and we'll compare our results at the end, okay? Let's begin!

Okay, let's play

the second round!

Okay...

Last round.

After this, we

compare our results.

Ready? This is

what I wrote down...

Scissors

Rock

Paper

You wrote down

these answers in

this order...

Let's see...

You won

You're really good at game!

Yes, your luck is at its highest!

As promised, I will craft a weapon for you. Give me the materials now, and come back when I'm finished preparing.

Well, you lost.

I'm sorry, but we

need to expel the

misfortune around you

with the ore you've brought...

Okay, I'll wait here.

Come back with the materials

I need and we'll try this again.

Would you give me more time to remember the materials? I can't seem to focus very well. It might have to do with the fact that I'm dead...

I had a much better memory when I was alive I'm sure. My father would quiz me on this stuff all the time...

Hey, you brought everything I asked for already. You must be ready to get started!

Sadly, we can't begin until

I remember the rest of the things we need. I can't for the life of me remember the most important materials...

Well, for now, let me keep the things you've brought to me. I promise that I'll use this stuff to make you a good weapon once everything is ready.

For sure I'll need

2 Hammer of Blacksmith,

1 Emperium Anvil,

1 Illusion Flower and

20 Gold...

So for now,

go ahead and

bring that stuff

to me, please.

I take it that you

really want me to make

you a weapon. For a former

weaponsmith like me, that in

itself is a great compliment.

Alright, I'll need...

There were 3 other things,

but I'm not too sure what they were. I guess a bunch of memories from my life are still missing.

*Sigh* I'm sorry to ask this of you, but would you please go out and figure out what those things are? I'm sure you can find some clue in the land of the living.

While you do that, I'll try my best to remember what else I need to make this weapon.

That's right!

And you need luck when you're creating high quality weapons!

Oh... crap.

I'm a dead man.

I just realized.

Or remembered.

Perhaps I'm brain

dead too, huh?

Well, I must be a lucky dead man for remembering some of my past, right? Hahahaha!

Right, I died while trying to finish my weapon research. Maybe this is fate's way of allowing me to finish my uncompleted work?

Hey, let me ask you a favor. Would you bring the materials I need to finish my research? If I succeed, the finished product is yours to keep. All yours!

Take your time

and think about it.

It can't be that bad

of a deal... Right?

Wha...?

What are you talking about?

What was I going to say?

Oww... My head hurts!
