In an instant, the men turned red and came at him.

”You bastard! You're on my head!

You're on my head!” You quickly move around to the outside of the first man's right arm and elbow him in passing. As you turn to face the other one, he's already striking you. I ducked down to hit him in the back, grabbed his outstretched arm to hit him, and slammed him to the ground with a back throw. Of course, I kept my grip on his arm and pulled him upward a little, being careful not to hit his head.

Don't make a fuss in the workshop, just stand up and work. Introduce yourself and then show me what you have. I want to get to work as soon as possible. I want to move as quickly as possible.

The two men stand up, this time with red faces for different reasons. Oh, that first guy's foot is killing him... it's twitching.

”I'm Gaston, this is Cogsworth. I'm in charge of the forge here, but so far we've been mending and repairing, not building anything new. But are you sure you're up to blacksmithing?

I open the door and it's a mountain? ...There's too much ore. There's also a pile of ingots... what are we going to do with them? I mean, ....

It's amazing! We can make as much as we want with this much ore!

”You guys... clean up! You're still a craftsman? ! I'll kick your ass!

And so the first day was spent tidying up the materials.
