Automatic Doll Automaton

After the meal, Crank began undressing and washing Carrot. The body of Carrot, who took off her combat uniform, had black automaton frames exposed on her hands, feet, and half of her burnt face, and other than that, it was very similar to that of a human.

“Do you have a belly, a belly button?”

“It’s fake. The worker made it for fun.”

“Oh, oh.”

Carrot, who turned her head while standing in a bucket of water, answered. Crank, who sat in front of him, poured water to wash off the suds and said,

“There is nothing special about the appearance, I need to get my hair up again. I can’t use this anymore.”

“I can’t help it. Can I go see Melissa for a bit tomorrow?”

“okay. While you’re gone, ask Fluid for a haircut. Or has anyone seen it?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Tuna, who was curious about everything, intervened again, and Carrot explained.

“It’s a heat-resistant wig that releases internal heat. In the case of a crank, it is made by mixing human hair with a heat sink.”

“Oh, oh! Then, can I, even with my own hair, make it?”

Crank watched Tuna lift her long black hair and felt her hair. After washing and washing my hair for the first time in a while, my hair was soft and shiny.

“Tuna Black doesn’t suit me. The colors of Lena Red and Ulpa Orange are also pretty.”

“No Lena hair.”

“why?”

“Because it suits Lena well.”

“Um, that’s right. What about Ulpa Orange?”

“It is a ready-made product dyed with radiant yarn. I want my hair to be blended if possible.”

“Why does it have to be female hair? What about the man?”

Crank muttered as he wiped Carrot’s wet body with a towel.

“Men don’t value their hair until they go bald. It’s short because there’s a lot of activity, but women value that hair very much, they comb it every day, wash it, and grow it long to look good.

Tuna and Ariete focused on the story they heard for the first time. Crank continued.

“They say hair has a soul. I hope that the souls dwell in the automatons that have passed through my hands. And I also wanted to give a little help to people who had to cut and sell their hair.”

Tuna and Ariete sat in their chairs with their mouths slightly open, staring at the mass of macho muscle wiping Carrot’s head with a towel.

Carrot smiles and turns her head.

“Did you see it? My master is a romantic.”

“It is done. Wear this.”

Crank held out the children’s clothes he had prepared in advance. One day, Fluid’s younger brother received it after wearing it.

“For the time being, I am not going to work as an adventurer. I have a lot to do with my hands. So are you.”

“Who is he? Did you say Ariete?”

Krank turned his head and saw the limb amputee sitting in a chair. Ariete’s expression softened a little after she washed up and ate properly.

“Right. It’s because there are people who take care of it. I need to get this woman to move on her own. Oh, before that, we need to make a bathroom indoors. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

“Can’t we leave the bathroom to a company?”

“no. have to save money It’s over in one day. It’s a savings life for the time being.”

Crank checked the clock on the wall and started looking at everyone’s beds.

“There is only one bed for me. I guess I’ll have to yield to Ariete here.”

“Me, me?”

Turning his head, Crank looked at Tuna and spread a blanket over the empty workbench in the workshop where the bodies of the automatons were piled up. Tuna went up there without saying anything and lay down. But he quickly woke up.

“Hey, over there! Oh, I think the automatons are looking at me, me! Whew, I’m scared.”

Carrot, who had been reading a book while looking at Ariete, brought a chair to the bed that was placed a little further away, and looked up.

“don’t worry. Because it doesn’t catch or eat. I’ll be here for a while, but get used to it. These are the children who protect you. Like me, think so.”

“Uh, yes.”

The next day, Crank woke up in his sleeping bag on the floor and moved his tired body around and said.

“I feel completely homeless. Sleep is important when resting.”

“Uh, me too.”

Crank, who was sitting on the floor, said while looking at Tuna sitting on the workbench.

“Are you leaving soon?”

“Uh, that, that’s ah, I don’t know yet! Now, stretch out for a little while, I want to be comfortable! ah! okay!”

Tuna ran to the dodo and brought the gold nugget.

“Eh, exchange this for money and buy me a bed.”

Krank, eyes wide open with his sleeping bag on his back, grabbed it and said.

“Where did you get this from? Is it a gold vein too?!”

“Oh, don’t teach me.”

“You said you would teach me when I brought you.”

Tuna laughed Betsy.

“Joe, wait a little longer.”

Crank, who had been sitting and staring at Tuna, stood up. Gradually, Tuna’s head went up.

“I get it. Please don’t forget.”

Tuna smiled and nodded. Then Carrot’s voice is heard.

“hey! When you wake up, drink a cup of hot tea!”

“okay. What about Ariete?”

“Here it is.”

When I go out to the kitchen, Ariete sits on a chair and shakes her head slightly. Thinking that his expression had straightened out a lot, Crank accepted the cup Carrot gave him.

“hmm···! What’s this? Ginger tea?”

“Drink while hot. This is so good for digestion.”

Crank swallowed it without saying a word. Tuna accepts her cup and smiles.

The day was busy all day.

Crank went out without breakfast and returned with a large load of building materials. Then, all day long, he set up a toilet in the depths of the workshop.

“It’s a water wash.”

“Oooo!”

Tuna clapped with emotion. Ariete, who glanced back, did not say a word, but sighed. About then the delivery wagon arrived.

“I brought you a bed!”

“Whoaaa!”

Tuna screamed and ran out.

Krank put two more beds in the studio and installed curtains.

“This is a warehouse/workshop that I originally purchased for my own use, so there are no partitions. You guys are always together temporarily. For now, bear with this.”

“Yeah, yes.”

Meanwhile, Carrot headed to the tenement house in the residential district where Fluid lives to meet Melissa.

Bang bang!

“who are you?”

The door opens and a woman with soft brown hair appears. Carrot, dressed in light children’s clothes, greeted me.

“hi?”

“Oh my goodness! Carrot!”

Melissa hugged Carrot. Carrot laughed and held out what was in her hand.

“It is a gift. Assorted bread sets.”

“What is this all about? Come on in.”

When Carrot goes inside, there is a baby piled up in a river, soundly asleep. Carrot opened her mouth and looked down at the baby.

“Is this your baby, Melissa?”

“huh! Isn’t that great?! it’s my work! hahahaha!”

Carrot smiled and asked.

“What about your husband?”

“I went to work. it’s a carpenter He knows Crank too.”

“okay? Great. I came to see how you are.”

“Come often.”

“Now that the baby is born, I will from now on.”

Melissa, who was grinning, looked at Carrot’s face and asked.

“What is your skin like?”

“It’s broken. It will be repaired soon. And now I can take off this wig too. Well written.”

Melissa’s eyes widened. Carrot held out her palm.

“No, I didn’t come to ask you to cut your hair.”

“Oh, I’m fine. Rather good.”

“Melissa, opportunities should be equal. I want to present a future like yours to other girls.”

Melissa laughs. Carrot laughed too.

“yes. When your baby grows up, as long as I’m moving by then, I’ll come back. Please tell me my story.”

“of course! I’ll do it until you get scabs on your ears.”

“By the way, what’s the baby’s name?”

“It’s Kenny. son.”

“Eh, that won’t work. It has to be female hair, give birth to another daughter.”

“hahahaha! Oh is it? I need to talk to my husband about it tonight!”

After talking for about an hour, Carrot stood up.

“that’s right. Are you coming to the wedding?”

“What marriage?”

“Fluid Marriage.”

“Huh?! what? Say it again!”

Carrot got up and sat down again. Melissa said excitedly.

“They said they were going to marry a guardsman next month. He was kind and handsome.”

“Is your name Jake by any chance?”

“oh! Right, how did you know?”

Carrot nodded.

“I know someone. That’s why you applied for the punitive force. Great. So what about Fluid?”

“I must have gone to work by this time. why?”

“Um, because of my hair, I’m busy preparing for my wedding, so do I have to tell you this? I’m worried.”

“Then may I recommend it?”

Carrot stuck out her neck and looked at Melissa.

“Do you have someone suitable?”

“If they are wanted, they will definitely come out. There’s a rumor going around these days that if you sell your hair to Crank’s automaton, you’ll get married or get a boyfriend?”

“huh? What do you mean?”

Carrot put on a look of astonishment. Melissa laughed hahahaha and counted her fingers.

“You remember me, Fluid, and Gunfi, Shushu? Does everyone have boyfriends?”

“omg! Really?”

“then.”

Carrot made a surprised expression as she covered her cheek with both hands.

“Wow, then if the owner of my hair gets a partner, it will be a complete fait accompli, right?”

Melissa’s eyes widened.

“Are you going to use it on your hair? Are you sure? really?”

“huh. As you can see. I can’t fight with this hair anymore. Cooling can’t keep up with heat. If I run it on power for an hour, I’ll stop overheating.”

Melissa couldn’t hear Carrot’s words.

“This is Carrot’s hair, so I have to pick it out especially well, right?”

“Ah, you don’t have to worry about it that much. I’ll tell you the minimum standard, you must be under 40 years old and over 50cm in length.”

Melissa tilted her head.

“Do you have a suggestion for that age?”

“Do you treat your hair with chemicals so that it doesn’t get damaged by the heat? According to Mrs. Garnett, hair in your 20s is the most likely to be treated.”

“I see. I knew it first.”

“Lastly and most importantly, as I said before, it must be female hair.”

“okay. i’ll be in touch soon But why does it have to be a woman? Just curious.”

Carrot rose from her seat.

“Men usually don’t value hair unless they go bald, Crank said. It’s all about crank taste.”

And in the hope that the soul dwells in the automaton,

“Ahahahaha!”

Melissa grabbed her stomach and collapsed. After a long laugh, she stood up and wiped away her tears.

“huh! Alright! The crank is still there.”

“Yes, tell the guild and I will come to see you, because I want to see you in person.”

After waving her hand a little, Carrot left Melissa’s house and walked down the street, jumping and running, toward the studio.
