==Dialogue==
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Garcia, optional)
:Garcia: (The gear's dimensions should be... Kaia helped me record them last time... Ugh! What is WRONG with me!?)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Lutong, optional)
:Lutong: (Maybe I should go talk to Ms. Kaia...)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Ahangar, optional)
:Ahangar: (What a bunch of weirdos...)
;(Talk to Ahangar, optional)
:Ahangar: What on earth does this guy have in mind...
;(Approach Garcia and Lutong)
:Garcia: My hands... Ugh! They're both numb...
:Lutong: Sir, you still need to do accounts for Ms. Kaia later. Please don't exhaust yourself.
:Garcia: Not right now, Lutong! I—I am well aware!
:Lutong: Of course, if you can't make it, I will stand in for you.
:Garcia: No! I will do that myself. I am just... I just need to... forge a couple more gears...
:Garcia: ...
:Garcia: Okay, I give up, I just can't continue anymore...
: What are you doing now...
:Garcia: Oh, it's you, Traveler... Ouch... My hands...
:Garcia: Well, here's the situation. Mr. Ahangar is also otherwise engaged, and so it is not possible to constantly commission him to make the parts I need...
:Garcia: Moreover, the parts he makes are often ever so slightly different from those that I picture in my mind.
:Garcia: So, to ensure the reliability of these parts, I asked Mr. Ahangar to teach me some forging skills and decided to forge the parts on my own.
:Garcia: Fortunately, I have acquired relevant experience in Fontaine... But some of the techniques Mr. Ahangar spoke of were just so hard to remember. Ouch...
:Garcia: Traveler, could you please ask Mr. Ahangar about his forging techniques? I really need some rest...
: Have a good rest here, Mr. Garcia.
::Garcia: Thank you for being willing to help. Ugh... My hands...
: Who is Kaia?
::Garcia: A business partner! A... um... very talented and... rich business partner!
::Garcia: We have signed a long-term accounting contract with her! And that is why I've been meeting her often, as I'm certain Lutong can attest to.
::Lutong: That is perfectly right, sir.
::Garcia: S—So that's how things stand... Traveler, do help us find Mr. Ahangar as soon as possible. I shall be waiting here.
;(Talk to Lutong or Garcia again, optional)
:Lutong: Sir, I humbly suggest that we might have to... change our approach.
:Garcia: Change our approach?
:Lutong: Perhaps we might make something less complicated but equally intricate.
:Lutong: I believe that with your talents, making machines of this sort should be...
:Garcia: My dear Lutong, we have spoken of this matter before. You know my answer... but I will always respect your choices.
:Lutong: Perhaps we should instead discuss where you shall have dinner with Ms. Kaia next, sir.
:Garcia: Ah, thank you, Lutong.
:Lutong: My pleasure, sir. Our contract has not ended yet.

;(Talk to Ahangar)
:Ahangar: I told you! Just wait a sec... Huh. It's you.
: I'm here to ask some questions on Mr. Garcia's behalf.
: Mr. Garcia's hands went numb from all that forging, and he needs rest.
:Ahangar: So he actually went and did that himself... What a weirdo.
:Ahangar: I've been a blacksmith for a great many years. This is the first time I've encountered someone with such strict requirements.
:Ahangar: He even brings a ruler to measure the seam between iron tubes, and the distance between threads.
:Ahangar: I just can't put up with him, so I told him to do it himself... And you know what? He actually came the next day and asked me to teach him some forging skills.
:Ahangar: Really, there's nothing I can do about him, so I let him be. As long as he pays for the materials, I'll let him use whatever tools he wants.
:Ahangar: *sigh* I've no idea what this guy has in mind...
: He's making a wondrous machine.
: He's making a weird machine.
:Ahangar: Eh, it's probably something strange, whatever it is. You're here to ask about forging skills, right? To be honest, I have nothing much to teach regarding gear forging...
:Ahangar: I have noticed something about the gears he wants, though. They all have sharp edges but are concave in the middle...
:Ahangar: Molds are not enough for such specially-shaped gears, so he has to reshape the gears afterward.
:Ahangar: I've taught him about the techniques in detail. You just need to tell him...
:Ahangar: First, when putting it into the furnace for the second time.
:Ahangar: Then, when you take it out to process it, .
:Ahangar: Did you get all that? Alright, go back and tell him if you did.
:Ahangar: What a weirdo...
;(Talk to Ahangar again, optional)
:Ahangar: Do you have other questions for me?
: Has Garcia been here for long?
::Ahangar: Quite some time, I would say. This guy is even more passionate than some of my apprentices.
::Ahangar: But he just doesn't look like someone who wants to make a living as a blacksmith...
: Did anyone visit them other than me?
::Ahangar: Hmm... There is a woman who visits him quite often, and she comes bringing lots of things.
::Ahangar: He has told me that the woman is named Kaia... Or something like that.
::Ahangar: I don't get it. These people look nothing like blacksmiths, so why do they hang around in my smithy...

;(Talk to Garcia or Lutong)
:Garcia: Lutong! This gear is ready for demolding! Come help me!
:Garcia: Traveler, you're back. So, Mr. Ahangar has taught you his tricks, I trust?
:Garcia: Tell me then, how should I process this gear?
: When sending the parts into the furnace again, don't add more fuel.
: When sending the parts into the furnace again, remember to add more fuel.
: When sending the parts into the furnace again, remember to add less fuel.
:
;(If the player chose "don't add more fuel" or "add less fuel")
:Garcia: Um... The gear doesn't quite... look right.
:Garcia: It's okay, we'll start over... Traveler, what should I take into consideration?
:;(Return to "Tell me then, how should I process this gear?")
;(If the player chose "add more fuel")
:Garcia: Alright, this gear has been heated up... What next?
: Hammer it around the edges and work your way into the middle.
: Hammer it in the middle and work your way out to the edges.
: Hammer it in the middle real hard.
:
;(If the player chose "hammer it around the edges" or "hammer it in the middle real hard")
:Garcia: Um... The gear doesn't quite... look right.
:Garcia: It's okay, we'll start over... Traveler, what should I take into consideration?
:;(Return to "Tell me then, how should I process this gear?")
;(If the player chose "Hammer it in the middle and work your way out to the edges.")
:Garcia: Aha! Success! This gear looks mighty fine, if I should say so myself!
:Garcia: The spacing between its teeth... Thickness... Size... Ah, I must fetch a ruler...
:Lutong: It's best that we leave Mr. Garcia to his measurements. Traveler, here is your payment. Please take it.
: Are you still... cautiously pessimistic?
:Lutong: Yes, that's how I have always been.
:Lutong: Mr. Garcia and I have been wandering in front of a giant mountain for some time now, and we have only just removed a tiny stone from the foot of this mountain.
:Lutong: We have, in truth, not yet found a way up.
:Lutong: Hopefully, Mr. Garcia's talents will lead us to the right path...
:Lutong: Or I will have to tell myself that "when your path is blocked by a mountain, there will be a way through."
