Head Blacksmith Newyear:
Well, these are all the materials I need for the armor, but... I have one last whim. I want to see just how close you and your sponsor really are.
Go to the southwest of the village and defeat the Piccat Arachnids. Bring me 8 Arachnid legs as proof. But here's the catch: you must defeat the Piccat Arachnid while your Sponsor is watching. I think this is the perfect chance for you to show your sponsor how much you've grown. And, just in case you get into some trouble, your sponsor's presence may be very beneficial. Whatever happens, I believe this will be beneficial to your mutual relationship.
I will work on the armor while you go to confront the Piccat Arachnid.
