Seiken no Blacksmith

Cecily Campbell ต้องการให้ Luke Ainsworth สร้างดาบคาตานะเวทมนตร์ใหม่หลังจากดาบของเธอหัก

After confronting a citizen who was haggling at a tamahagane merchant, Cecily Campbell, a member of the Knight Guards of Housman, attempts to stop Jack Strader, a mentally unhinged war veteran, from attacking civilians. After her sword is busted in the fight, she is saved by Luke Ainsworth, a skilled blacksmith wielding an unusual curved sword called a katana. Before she can thank him, he insults her skills as a knight and leaves. Cecily learns the advanced skills necessary to repair her sword have dwindled among the cities blacksmiths in favour of cheaper mass production techniques, so she becomes determined to have Luke forge her the katana he uses. At Luke's home where he lives with his friend and assistant, Lisa, Luke refuses her request, stating he only forges those katana for his own personal use. A nearby group of soldiers are attacked by monsters being controlled by a man in a black cloak who wants the treasure they are guarding. Luke easily slays the monsters with his katana, whilst also saving Cecily again, so the cloaked man transforms one of his allies into a demon who destroys Luke's Katana. While Cecily distracts the demon Luke and Lisa use magic to forge a new magical katana in mere seconds. (Source: Wikipedia)

Luke destroys the demon but Cecily is surprised when his new sword simply crumbles away, as his katana forged by magic are more fragile than his real ones. The damage from the battle suddenly catches up to Cecily when her armour falls off, exposing her breasts, so she beats Luke in a fit of rage. The next day Luke uses his bruised appearance as an excuse to skip a meeting with several foreign diplomats about the demon Valbanill who was sealed away by a sacred sword but may soon wake up. It is decided that Luke will forge a new sacred sword. Cecily's commander, Hannibal Quasar, interrogates a bandit who claims the cloaked man can forge demon contracts and turn men into demons. The bandit is killed by a demon inside his body to keep him from talking. Hannibal finds out the soldiers guarding the treasure were a ruse and the treasure was secretly allowed to enter the city by herself. Luke finally agrees to forge Cecily a katana, but only if she can pay the enormous fee for materials and the lengthy forging process, which she can't. Cecily is given a mission from Hannibal to guard a young woman named Aria. (Source: Wikipedia)

Cecily is told that Aria is actually a powerful weapon called a Demon Sword that can take human form. At Luke's request Aria transforms into a sword which Cecily demonstrates can form blades made from wind. Hannibal plans to use Aria as bait to capture whoever tried to steal her. In the city's prison many prisoners infected by demon parasites escape. Cecily obtains a new sword from the armoury that has one sharp edge and one blunt edge, intending to use it to practice for when she eventually gets a katana from Luke. Reginald, another knight, mocks her for bothering to carry a sword when she is too afraid to kill in battle. The prisoners attack the town on the orders of the cloaked man. Cecily joins the fighting, but having never killed someone before, is overcome by fear and is unable to kill her opponent. Reginald kills the man instead and accuses Cecily of cowardice in front of the other knights. Aria praises Cecily for preferring to preserve life. Elsewhere, Jack Strader, who forged a demon pact years ago to save his own life during the war, is offered a chance to redeem himself by the cloaked man. (Source: Wikipedia)

Cecily ปฏิเสธ Aria ในฐานะนายพล และงานประมูลดาบปีศาจกลับกลายเป็นกับดักไฟของ Jack

In the morning, Cecily is using her new practice sword to train while Aria watches her. Aria expresses interest in Cecily becoming her next master, but Cecily rejects this, opting to become her friend instead. Hannibal reveals that the Demon Sword auction might be a ploy to bait Siegfried, known to Cecily as "the man in the black". Cecily performs the auction with Aria, until the participants' applause is cut off when Jack appears in the middle and sets the place on fire. Luke, Cecily and Aria manage to defeat Jack and attempt to save the people. Thereafter, Aria pledges to become Cecily's partner as a sword meant to protect the people. (Source: Wikipedia)

Aria and Cecily are sitting together at Luke's shop while Lisa is supporting Luke with daily chores. Cecily finds that Lisa only has another identical set of clothes to the one she is wearing, and asks Luke to let Lisa go with her and Aria to the marketplace. They manage to pick a new dress for Lisa, and Cecily convinces Luke to show his compassion for Lisa. On their way back home, Lisa asks if Luke finds her new dress good, but Luke gives her a hat and is just glad it matches. (Source: Wikipedia)
