Automatic Doll Automaton

The snowy road trip lasted for 3 days. According to Ariete’s evaluation, it was the most boring three days of her life. After those three days, they crossed the line.

“Amazing. It really says the limit line.”

During the break, Ariete and Carrot got out of the car and stood in front of a huge rock and looked up. There was a simple phrase written in intaglio called the limit line.

“End of break boarding!”

Ariete turned around and said.

“Has everything melted? There is no snow here.”

“It is because it is the limit line. The temperature is different.”

From inside the vehicle, the conductor, Geese, answered. said Carrot.

“Be nervous. It starts from here.”

“what?”

“The Monster Wave of the South.”

Tup!

Without a separate command, Lotte, who was always absorbed in reading, opened the book and turned his head. Nervous, Eris looked around.

“Hey, from here?”

“yes. It starts. please. Adventurers.”

Khaki, who was always mischievous, said in a polite voice. Crank nodded and headed for the window, and Carrot laughed ahahahaha.

“Hold on to your worries! I just finished a new overhaul this time! There is also a secret weapon! let’s go! Captain!”

“hmm! You are strong!”

Geese, the conductor of Car No. 16, lifted the pipe in his mouth and started the car.

And around noon, Ariete and Eris, new to the South, felt goosebumps at the sight of something bizarre.

Kiyi Eheo!

Along with the faintly audible screams of monsters, something like pure white fog is rolling over the far plain.

“I don’t know if you haven’t seen it, but it seems that you’re not interested in us at the moment.”

Next to the officer holding the telescope, the top officer, Captain Cave, sighs.

“damn! I think I’m going to have a gastroenteritis. Delivery date is tight! Ignore them if they don’t chase us! Hurry up and get started!”

“Quack-crank! I-what is that?!”

Priestess Eris turned her head with a face that looked like she was about to cry, and Crank, who saw a huge cloud of fog rolling over the plain, said.

“It’s a mist worm. In the south, there is a monster that emits mist, but the inside is warm, so other monsters live in symbiosis. They are the main players of the monster wave.”

“Oh, are you dealing with something like that?”

Carrot shook her head when Ariete, who was holding the hilt at her waist, said with a nervous or happy expression on her face.

“no. It’s a big deal if you go in there, you can’t see it well, but monsters are pouring in from everywhere? Last year, I jumped in without knowing anything and got scolded.”

“Usually, we break them down with magic crystal bombs and then destroy them individually. Does the cold make you dull?”

Ariete and Eris nodded at Khaki’s explanation.

The automated water vehicle ran slowly over hills and across plains, narrowing the distance to the south. Then Satan broke out.

It was the day after seeing Mist Worm.

“Find a completely destroyed pioneer village! People are calling for help!”

There was no flag, but the cars stopped. What I saw after rushing to the window on the left was the horrors of a horribly broken town.

People who found the top are running and crying and beckoning us not to go.

“Did I get hit by a monster?!”

“That mist worm I saw yesterday!”

The head of the corps, Captain Cave, bared his teeth and grabbed his chest, which suddenly felt sore.

“The company’s reputation is at stake, so we can’t just ignore it! Send escort adventurers to help!”

Adventurers who got off the vehicle ran to pick up the injured and rescued people from the wreckage, and priests busily came and went to use divine treatment.

“There are people here! Bring the automaton!”

“Let’s accommodate the wounded here!”

“Someone light a fire to warm people up!”

Crank took out a hatchet, broke down the rolling wooden planks, stacked them in one place, poured a little oil on them, and took out the tinder, but someone shouted.

“Tinder!”

Pooh! lively~!

In an instant, a fire broke out in the pyre. A surprising look? Crank, who was looking down at the flames, turned his head to see Eris, the priest who was taking care of the villagers, with her arms outstretched.

Crank looked at it and said.

“It is convenient.”

“It only comes out with enough firepower to light a bonfire.”

“But I saw the potential.”

“yes?”

She tilted her head, but Crank didn’t answer, building a few more piles of wood.

“please.”

As Eris snapped her fingers and chanted, great bonfires were made, warming many people.

“Thank you! Thank you so much for not abandoning us!”

“What happened?”

The old man, who burst into tears at the helping hand, explained the situation the day before. After seeing the mist worm coming, the young people came forward to defend it, but it was said that it was not enough.

“I threw a crystal bomb, but it misfired.”

“The magic crystal bomb misfired? Where did you make it?”

“I don’t know. Where did the village chief buy it from?”

“Is there anything left? I really miss you.”

Instead of looking for people, some of them came looking for magic crystal bombs that were said to have failed. The people at the top who looked at it with nervous expressions let out a deep sigh. And angry at the same time.

“It’s a relief that it’s not something we sold! Selling such defective products! He’s the one who discredits the merchant’s name! Where is the product from?”

The man who was examining the box shook his head.

“There is no trademark. These are just glass marbles.”

“Tsk…! No matter how expensive it is, you’re cheating with a weapon! The worst is not this worst!”

Meanwhile, Crank’s party also scoured the town for survivors.

“It’s a fairly large pioneer village.”

“Most of them were eaten. There are not many people alive.”

Carrot jumped up. Crank looked around and said.

“Let’s find it anyway. Let’s all split up and look for them.”

“okay.”

Carrot, Ariete, and Lotte spread widely around the crank.

Carrot, who was wandering around the shattered village, heard something and went into a half-collapsed house. And I found something strange.

“uh?”

“What, what? who is this?”

Carrot, who caught sight of the bizarre things happening in the house, sighed heavily and organized her dizzy thoughts.

Kki-Ik-! widely!

After closing the half-way door, Carrot stepped inside, raised a chair that had fallen nearby, sat on it, and stared at them. Three men, the woman who fell to the floor did not move.

“Is that woman dead?”

“what?”

“Did you guys kill them?”

“What are you? Little?”

A large man stood up and approached. Carrot’s eyes rolled around. There is also a large leather pouch on the floor, and a man is lying on the ground with his head broken.

“i get it. Are you guys robbers?”

“robbery? we? We are.”

puck!

The man who came close to me stabbed his small fist into the large stomach, and the man collapsed with a gasping sound. thud-!

“Jose!”

“That’s an asshole name, how did your parents feel when they gave birth to the future robber?”

“What are you! I haven’t seen a kid like you in this town! Where are you from!”

“I am an automaton. These terrible things.”

The men’s eyes widened. Certainly the outfit is out of the ordinary. Jackets and skirts decorated with sturdy leather and various armor plates were not clothes for humans.

“Soft skin! young master! That’s an automaton with a soft skin on it!”

“Soft skin?! What is it? no wait! Is that kid an automaton?”

“Have you ever seen an automaton? Don’t block the road, get out of the way.”

Carrot walked away ignoring the men and grabbed the fallen woman’s neck with her hand. And suddenly his face brightened.

“oh! stay alive! thank god! Eight! Get out of the way! don’t disturb! I have to save humans!”

“Ahh?!”

Carrot, who wrapped the woman in a blanket, kicked the men nearby, kicked down the door, and the dodo ran out.

Seeing that, the enraged men came out with clubs and longswords.

“hey! Can’t you stand there!?”

“That woman is ours!”

As we followed the girl running away, we saw many people from unknown origins carrying out rescue operations here and there in the collapsed village, and we saw large transport vehicles stopped in a row near the main road in the distance.

The faces of the men turn red.

“A rescue team? You must be at the top!”

“Fortunately, the! young master!”

“hmm! Let’s get on that and get back to the city!”

When we run to the place where the wounded are gathered, Carrot is talking to someone while pointing with his hand at the women who are running after bringing the woman to them.

The face of the top tier member, who was standing upright in uniform, suddenly distorted and opened his gloved palm to the men running up to him. His right hand was gripping the handle of the longsword before he knew it.

“Stop. Don’t come any closer.”

“What, what? Where are you guys at the top?”

“We belong to the Argon Chamber of Commerce. Who are you? No, before that, did you guys make this woman like this?”

The men were enraged when Carrot, who had grabbed the upper tier member’s leg, was sticking out his tongue behind him.

“What are you talking about! what did we do! That automaton is like that!”

The top crew bowed their heads. Carrot also raises her head.

He opened his mouth again in a puzzled tone.

“Have you been drinking? I can’t believe it. go over there I will interrogate you. number of animals! Mire!”

A female corps member with a combat automaton belonging to the guild and a long sword hanging from her waist approached. In the meantime, the men were pointing at Carrot and arguing.

“Do you think I am lying?! That automaton did it! People should listen to people!”

“Right! Now one of my brothers is knocked down by that automaton! And this person will be the son of the chief of the pioneer village!”

The eyes of the people who looked at the son of the headman of the shattered pioneer village began to be stained with disgust.

Carrot, full of spirit, stepped forward and put her hand on her waist.

“Hey, let me tell you one of the most basic things. Dig your ears and listen well. Automatons don’t lie. Even if you don’t answer.”

“Then we humans! I! Are you saying you’re lying?! I saw you killing poor people and stealing money! look! This is proof!”

A red-eyed, bloodshot man lifted a leather pouch. Now Carrot’s mouth is tearing up. Then, unable to hold back, he grabbed his stomach, bent his waist, and began to laugh.

“Kyahahahahaha! wow! long time no see! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a bad potato! Asshole! The back and forth don’t match! Why do I have to give it up for a few pennies when I have a Master, and I have excellent personal connections, trust, and credibility?”

“To challenge a human over an automaton! Did something break down!”

Quick!

When the impatient man swings the club in his hand, Carrot’s small body stumbles.

That moment,

During the rescue operation, about 60 adventurers who were looking for something interesting suddenly pulled out their swords.

Srrreung! Sreung!

And the rant broke out.

“hey! you’re a bastard! It’s crazy enough! Shall I scoop the po? Can you show me some northern smoke?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Who did that just hit?”

“If Crank was here, he’d put an ax in your head, you bastard!”

“And now my sword is going to be stuck! Crazy guy!”

The villagers were horrified to see the adventurers whose eyes were turned away from the rescue operation.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

“shut up! inspirational! Your village chief’s son messed with my child!”

It was strange. To be so furious as to hit an automaton,

Carrot straightened up and spread her arms, letting the red liquid run down her head.

And he quietly opened his mouth.

“calm down. Man, of course I saw. Seeing you, you, desperately destroy a family suffering from a disaster, even though you can’t help it.”

Mechanical dolls don’t lie. Because there’s no reason to do it.
