Automatic Doll Automaton

The morning was bright.

While everyone was tired and overslept, Crank left the workshop with only Carrot and headed to the lord’s office with the guild master. And there, he reported the story of the investigation of the Bourne Mountains in Wales.

Yeongju, who was sitting with a large desk in front of him, opened his mouth with a friendly face.

“Should we get some spoons for the table the princess is preparing? Crank, please write two letters of introduction here before you go. If there is a chance, I will try to contact you behind the scenes.”

Crank nodded his pitch and tilted his head again.

“Are there two?”

Lord Argon Deo smiled and spread two fingers.

“Two copies to be sent to Gran-kun of Venus Village and Admir Tribal Chief.”

Krank looked at the lord for a moment and nodded. Then he took out a letter and read it.

“And this is the princess… … .”

mate,

As the lord clapped, the door opened and the Countess entered. While the guild master and Crank slightly bowed their heads to say hello, Carrot greeted her rather warmly.

“Wow, long time no see. Countess Tissue.”

Knowing that the two are quite close, no one asked Carrot about etiquette.

She smiled and touched Carrot’s cheek, then accepted the letter from Crank.

She opened the letter on the spot, looked at it, looked dizzy, and sat down on the floor covered with fine carpet.

“Uh, Countess, what’s wrong with you?”

As Carrot approached with concern, the Countess handed out a letter with a teary face in a mischievous gesture.

“Ah, maybe it’s good? That tomboy princess will be visiting Argon for her summer vacation.”

“Oops… … !”

dump,

The guild master Marvin, who was listening, also collapsed on the floor as his legs gave out. Carrot, who looked as if it was funny, with a feminine figure just like the Countess, covered her mouth with both hands and made her eyes half-moon.

It is not uncommon for members of the capital’s royal family to take summer vacations to the surrounding Ark Cities. But it’s not something to be concerned about when it comes to the situation.

“You should prepare a little in advance. Please call the guard captains in the afternoon. And Crank, Carrot.”

As the two turned their heads, the lord cleared his throat a little. The guild master Marvin and Countess Tish quickly stood up and looked back at them.

“Thank you very much for the good information this time. It will be of great help to our city.”

Crank bowed, and Carrot answered the lord’s thanks by slightly lifting her skirt.

After completing the report, Crank was able to leave the lord’s castle only after writing a letter of introduction.

* * *

Carrot was taken by the guild master to hear a detailed (?) story about this adventure, so Crank went back to the studio by himself.

Because of what he wanted to make this time, his steps were exceptionally fast.

Entering the studio, he took off his jacket, put on a leather apron, and started working. First of all, from repairing the broken equipment… … .

At Ariete’s request, Charles and Lotte, who were armed and guarding the workshop, approached.

“What about the others?”

“I haven’t woken up yet.”

Even though it was almost 10 o’clock, the two of them were in the middle of the night. Crank looked back at the curtained bed and said to Lotte.

“I’m not going to be out of work for a while, so Lotte should go to the guild and get a job. Carrot will also be sent. Charles asks for housework as usual. Zion, come here. Let’s put our arms together.”

“All right.”

The automatons that received the command move. Lotte went to work at the guild armed, and Charles began to help him repair Shion’s broken arm.

It was after 11:00 when Tuna and Ariete got up.

“Ummm.”

Ariete opened her eyes with a disheveled face and was horrified to see Leclerc’s face looking down at her from the bed.

“aaagh!?”

Ariete, who slept with only one prosthetic arm attached when sleeping, struggled on her severed limbs and raised herself up with one arm. Then, pushing herself to the corner of the bed, she glared at Leclerc, who was poking out through the curtains, with a wary gaze.

“Why are you here!”

But Ariete couldn’t forget the words anymore. It was because the tears were flowing down Leclerc’s eyes, who had a devastated expression on his face.

“You, you, with a body like that… ! Whoops… … !”

As she finally covered her mouth with one hand and squeezed out her tears, Ariete frowned and turned her head away. Then, with his free arm, he took out a prosthetic arm from the shelf next to the bed and put it on his arm.

“Don’t cry unluckily in the morning!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Are you awake?”

Charles’ voice is heard from outside the curtain. Ariete raised her eyebrows and shouted.

“Charles! Why is this guy here? I obviously asked for security at the workshop!”

“The master gave permission.”

Turning over on the bed with both arms now, she shouted loudly as she inserted the prosthetic leg that had been placed in place of her shoe.

“Crank! Even though I said so yesterday! you!”

With the rest of her legs attached, she rushed to her underwear and sat down at the workshop, slapping him on the back as he was assembling his arms.

Then, I showed the underwear wind to the people who were watching there.

“Oh, how are you?”

“Uhhhhh?!”

The first female adventurers and automatons saw her and smiled. Ariete, who was caught cheating on her underwear even though it was the same woman, turned around and ran back, blushing as if she was embarrassed.

“Wow, are you really jumping out in your underwear?”

“Ali!”

Leclerc’s colleague, the female adventurer Ali, said, and another female adventurer sitting next to her stabbed her in the side. The big man, who had expected all this, answered with his shoulders drooping.

“I think we should make a new accommodation. Actually, this was for my personal use. It’s a pity that the rich don’t feel ashamed.”

Ariete reappeared wearing pajamas and shot me.

“joy! What will the family members learn when the head of the family runs around wearing only one pair of underwear? Half of it is your fault.”

“Why don’t you come and wash your face?”

“It’s okay, there is nothing to be ashamed of anymore in the yard where you even showed your underwear. Leclerc! Stop crying there and come out quickly!”

After entering the workshop, Ariete took Leclerc’s hand and came out. Whimpering, she embraced Ariete and began to weep loudly.

“Aww! Ariete! Whoops. Ariete, with a body like that… … !”

“Eight! quit! Your tears only increase my misery!”

Leclerc, who had been pushed away, flinched and trembled differently from yesterday’s appearance, then approached Ariete again and leaned his head on Ariete’s shoulder, shedding tears.

Ariete put her hands on her waist and turned her sullen expression to the side, trying hard not to look at his face.

Meanwhile, Crank, who occupied the workshop, focused on what he was doing.

Leclerc, who had barely stopped crying, sat down. Then, with the teacup Charles gave her in front of her, she looked at Ariete, who was turning her head with her arms crossed and her legs crossed.

Leclerc said in a choked voice.

“Come into our party, come back with me. You are not here.”

“hate. I have my own party too. And my home is here.”

Leclerc shouted out loud.

“Are you planning on living in a place like this for the rest of your life? I can prepare a better environment for you!”

Hearing those words, Ariete frowned and glanced back.

“Crank, why do people who come to me always disparage this place as being like this? This is where I feel relieved.”

“Shall we make a separate accommodation?”

Crank, who was sitting back to back with Ariete looking at the workshop, murmured briefly. At that time, Ariete noticed that Charles, who was preparing tea in the kitchen, hesitated because there were too many people and he had no place to go. Ariete pulled out his right arm.

click.

“Is it crank? Come on.”

As I held out my left arm with my right arm, the reach became incredibly long. When Charles put the mug in his hand, Ariete turned it back and held it out to Crank.

“ruler.”

“hmm.”

Crank took the cup and put his arm back in. The people who were watching were speechless.

She let out a short sigh and continued.

“I was captured by a mage during my travels and lost all my comrades and even had my limbs taken away. But look. I have new arms and legs. Also got a family. Have you ever watched with hope as your limbs were built one by one, right here?”

Leclerc, who had been looking at Ariete with a sad face, now turned to the crank sitting behind her.

“Are you from Ariete? what do you want Do you want to use the pitiful situation of a person in a corner to satisfy their needs?”

Crank, who heard the story he once told Carrot again through the mouth of another person, answered with his back turned while holding up a mug and smiling.

Since the subject was a bit different then, he readily admitted it.

“If you have to ask, yes. I wanted to satisfy my intellectual desire to put them back on the body of a woman who had no limbs. And now I’m taking it to pick up the investment money.”

“Then pay for my limbs! To ease the burden on your heart!”

At Leclerc’s words, Crank stood up. The accompanying automatons flinched as if a bear stood up. The Tin Giant, wearing an apron and holding a mug in one hand, looked down at the women and said.

“Leclerc, look at Ariete. What expression are you making now?”

Ariete, with her arms crossed, had a sullen expression on her face. Leclerc lowered his back slowly, and a tin helmet was thrown out in front of Leclerc. Just as the escorts’ eyes were about to sharpen, Crank opened his mouth.

“Ariete considers you a rival. So I will never go under you. Determine superiority and inferiority through proper competition. For now, that’s for the best.”

Leclerc, who had been looking up at Crank’s helmet blankly, lowered his head to look at Ariete. Ariete, whose face was slightly embarrassed, rose from her seat.

“I have nothing more to say. Did you see that he was alive? Stop going back.”

Leclerc obediently rose from his seat. Then he suddenly hugged Ariete and kissed her again.

“town?! Ugh!”

The automaton prosthetic hand made by the maintenance guild was not very strong, so it couldn’t beat Leclerc’s strength.

puck!

Ariete, who managed to get her off with a kick, shouted with tears in her eyes, frowning her arrogance.

“you! you! why!”

“You always get hurt because you have such a stupid face, Ariete.”

Leclerc, who survived without falling with the help of the escorts, lifted his head with a smile. Seeing her tongue flick, Ariete, whose rationality was severed, pulled out her longsword from among the surrounding clutter.
