==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Bertrand)
:Bertrand: Phew! Wow, that was close...
:Bertrand: So close, yes, very close indeed...
:Paimon: Bertrand, are you alright? You're sweating all over, and you look like you might collapse at any moment!
:Bertrand: I "look like I might collapse," eh? Nay, I've already done so, yes indeed!
: What's going on?
: Did the elemental reactions fail?
:Bertrand: Heh, almost! Almost. But thanks to some emergency adjustments, performed triple-quick-time by yours truly, the process stabilized.
:Bertrand: The elements are beginning to slowly fuse with the source materials we collected as we speak.
:Bertrand: Indeed, that was a really close shave! If I hadn't been able to control the elemental energy, I'd probably be competing with the Naganohara family's fireworks for highest recorded altitude right now.
: I thought you said it won't explode.
:Bertrand: I said that the toys wouldn't explode — I never guaranteed that the machine that makes them would be similarly stable.
:Bertrand: But honestly, it's thanks to your help in this experiment that we even got this far. If I had tried doing this in one go from the start, I don't think there'd be anything left of the Great Machine, never mind there being any toys.
:Bertrand: Alright then. This is the final step, also known as "Core Activation."
:Paimon: Paimon remembers you mentioned this had to do with elemental creatures, right?
:Bertrand: Precisely. Elemental life forms are constantly being powered by the elements. Collecting this motive force and adding it to our machine is the final step.
:Bertrand: If I can make the toys, then I can keep making them. Then I can pay off my debt, earn a good sum, and live out my days in Inazuma in peace...
:Paimon: Eh? Not going back to Fontaine?
:Bertrand: Fontaine... Ah, Fontaine.
:Bertrand: , Paimon, you have never been to Fontaine, I suppose. If you had, you would know...
:Bertrand: For some people, it is a most convenient place to live. But for others, it is naught but a place of grief and disappointment.
:Bertrand: The energy system there is very special, and no one knows how long it can be sustained. Thus, we must find alternative energy solutions before it all comes crashing down.
:Bertrand: And yet, change is even harder than we can imagine. The result of all this being... that I must now research alternative energy, alone and away from Fontaine.
:Bertrand: The Great Machine, too, is a product of that research, which is why it remains somewhat unstable and at risk of exploding if not handled with the utmost care...
:Bertrand: But someday—someday! Someday, I will find a good energy solution.
:Bertrand: And then I shall return to Fontaine.
:Paimon: Bertrand...
:Bertrand: Well, let's not talk about such things now. On to our final process.
:Bertrand: My standard of living in Inazuma before I can return to Fontaine depends on you, !
;(Talk to Bertrand again)
:Bertrand: How is the final process going? Well, I'll bet that defeating elemental creatures was no challenge for an experienced adventurer like yourself, eh?

;(After defeating 3 slimes)
:Paimon: Well, those Slimes were pretty easy to beat. What was next again... Oh, Specters, huh...?
;(After defeating 2 specters)
:Paimon: A Hypostasis... Do we really have to defeat one just to make one toy?
;(After defeating the hypostasis)
:Paimon: Paimon thinks this was waaay more trouble than the other days, but it's done either way. Let's hand the stuff over to Bertrand!
----
;(Talk to Bertrand)
:Bertrand: In any case, that's all our processes completed.
:Bertrand: Hmm... How about this, ? How would you like to be the one to place the Material Collector upon the machine?
:Bertrand: Haha! I have no idea what's going to be made — oh, the expectation!
:Paimon: Wait, you don't know what sort of toy will come out?
:Bertrand: Why, that's the fun of the Great Machine! It responds to and processes different materials differently.
:Bertrand: What you've brought shall determine what gets made... So now then, give it a go!
:;(Opens Product Creation menu)
;(Talk to Bertrand again)
:Bertrand: Alright, go over to the Great Machine to give production a go. Let's see what you end up creating.
----
;(Talk to Bertrand after crafting a toy)
:Paimon: Is this really a toy made by a machine from Fontaine?
: ...Hmm, this just doesn't fit with my image of Fontaine.
:Bertrand: Ah, but you see, making goods only in Fontaine's image is no way of guaranteeing mercantile success.
:Bertrand: To tell the truth, this production process does include my various gleanings from studying local popular culture. After all, you must win the people's hearts to earn your welcome.
:Paimon: Will this stuff really be popular, though?
:Bertrand: *cough* Now, I am sure that there might be some early misunderstandings, but so long as we persevere and continue to improve on our work, I'm sure that they will someday be moved!
:Bertrand: Whatever the case may be, we have completed this first production cycle.
:Bertrand: How did you find it? Fascinating, no?
: It was decent.
:Bertrand: Hehe, alright. Hmm, I see, so this is what we can produce using these material ratios. Well, in that case, I shall keep this in storage... and also, this voucher is for you.
:Bertrand: As for this voucher, you can use it to redeem a robot with the same design as this one for free! If you like this model, then you need only redeem it using this voucher... Well, once we have established a stable production flow, of course.
:Bertrand: This is our first robotic toy, after all, so there are still some examinations to be done. We can't be producing exploding gadgets all the time, now can we?
:Bertrand: Hmm, and now, let's read the record of issues caused during the test run... It seems that we must make some adjustments to improve our efficiency.
:Paimon: Huh, you're actually pretty serious about all this, aren't you?
:Bertrand: Of course I am. As a person living alone in a faraway land, this machine and my creativity are all that sustain me.
:Bertrand: I mean, the Doushin who arrested me previously called these "bizarre tricks." Hah! Well, I'll teach 'em to look down on these "tricks."
:Bertrand: In any case, I must make some adjustments first such that I'll be able to begin mass production shortly.
:Bertrand: Do come and lend me your aid when that time comes as well, alright, ?
