THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEART

A customer arrives at the blacksmith Lisbeth's shop, requesting her to make him the best possible sword - with cost not being an issue.
To give her an idea of what he has in mind, the customer - Kirito - shows her a rare magical sword.
The confident craftswoman shows him the finest sword she's ever forged, but Kirito, wanting to tests its durability, promptly breaks it.
Further enraged by a thoughtless comment from Kirito, Lisbeth retorts that she could forge a sword that would satisfy him, if she could only get her hands on a rare metal.
