You stole the Shining Needle Sword, so I had to get a new one.

In order to catch you, and give you your punishment...

Although, it really helped that the payment started with such great timing.

Thanks to that, catching you was a piece of cake.

...Well, you managing to steal the real Miracle Mallet actually was unexpected.

Looks like you still don't understand, huh?

I'm allowing you to live.
