Automatic Doll Automaton

Upon arriving in Nivera, Crank began repairing the automaton untimely. However, Ariete, Lotte, and Eris were sent out on a winter hunt in suitable parties.

“I already made a lot of money. To make money is to spend it. The purpose of the calling has been achieved.”

“Ho-ho-ho, then what about the rest of us?”

“I can’t make other people play just because I play. Reputation is important to them.”

“you?”

Carrot asked, who was in a large tin bathtub being heated by a magic furnace.

“There were times when I thought it would be nice to be famous. But it only bothered me.”

“chamberlain?”

A naked Carrot puts her arms in the bathtub and raises her head.

Crank, who had been soaking in lukewarm water to remove the salt and attaching his head to the dried body, muttered as he carefully pulled the nerve wire with tweezers.

“It is the nature of all intelligent life to seek good things and high positions.”

“and?”

“Not to mention the big responsibility, there is no time to catch your breath when accepting the request. Come to think of it, it’s probably because I have tastes that the right adventurer would find difficult.”

He is now meticulously sewing.

For a person whose job is to run through forests or fields, dig up ruins and slay monsters, it was a tendency to spend too much time and attention on work.

Now Carrot shakes her head as she pours water with a gourd in the bathtub.

“Ufufu! How much should this be in?”

“Stay for an hour or so. I need to get rid of some more salt. If you just use it, the inside will go bad quickly.”

Around that time, the adventurers who had finished hunting began to return one by one, and Carrot welcomed them in the bathtub.

“Welcome! great job!”

When the party Cherry Boys saw Carrot in the bath, they frowned together.

“Why do you have an automaton in there?”

“I was drowning in the salt water. Oh, yes!”

Carrot smiles strangely as she scoops up water from the bathtub with a gourd.

“The water that the goddess of the earth sent to boil the doll is almost holy water. Would you like a drink?”

“Puff-!”

One of Hirsch’s companions covers his mouth and turns his head away. Carrot now puts the water from the gourd to her mouth, takes a sip, and makes a thrilling sound while furrowing her brow.

“Keuheuuu! You just wet your whole body?”

The adventurers who arrived one after another burst into laughter when they saw it.

“Ha ha ha! I can’t stand it anymore! hey! peanut! Don’t be ridiculous!”

“Don’t you think this will sell?! Southern adventurers might really live!”

“Because I’m almost an idol to those friends. Shall I take some and give it to you? ha ha ha!”

At the same time, the female adventurers also saw Carrot taking a bath and started wagging their noses with flooded eyes. Among them were mothers and children of refugees living with them.

“I want to take a bath too!”

Ariete, covered in something like monster slime all over her body, started waving her arms while crying.

“ah! Don’t wave your arms! a little! It splashes!”

“Ahh! Fishy!”

Hush and her friends who happened to be standing next to her fell in fright, and Ariete started to sob.

Sensing the lustful stares of the women around him, Crank sent Lotte to the market to buy some large tin bathtubs. Then I filled it up with water and put the carrots in it.

“Are you okay, Crank? Just use a little hot water.”

“I’m pretty good at making money these days. I’m going to write a chin.”

While talking to a female adventurer from another party, Crank turned his head and saw Carrot.

“Carrot, mana engine maximum output 3 minutes.”

Entering the bathtub, Carrot, who only sticks out her neck, shouted with an ax eye.

“Engine full power!”

Chiyiyi…! Bubble bubble-!

The water boils in less than 3 minutes. The class was different from that of a thermal furnace. People’s faces light up rapidly. The adventurers who simply set up a tent in the corner of the warehouse where the bathtub was installed first called in refugee children and mothers.

“Let the snot come in here.”

Carrot, who entered the bathtub, smiled sinisterly and beckoned. They must hate it, but since it was so bad, the children quietly lathered up in the bathtub and ran hot water over it. Young mothers also washed together in the gap.

Then the female adventurers,

“Ariete? Was that a prosthetic arm?”

“hmm.”

Vanilla, an elf adventurer from Creamy and Consen Party, saw Ariete with an exoskeleton on her naked body with an eye-popping face. The other female adventurers and priestesses who were with him were also surprised.

“You, don’t look at me that way. I’m embarrassed!”

“Oooh. The scenery here is nice.”

Carrot, who only put her head in the bucket, giggles. However, no one was offended because the gender of the automatons recognized by people was fixed as female.

First of all, a doll

Entering the bathroom next were stinky and rough men, and Carrot smiled broadly.

“Wow, isn’t the view here nice too?”

Then, men with very serious faces approached Carrot.

“Whose chest is the biggest by any chance?”

“No, who has the biggest ass?”

“Look at the pelvic line! pelvis!”

“clavicle!”

“nape!”

After a while, Carrot, who had been staring at the men with his eyes wide open at the curiosity of the men whose noses were about to bleed, soon lowered his voice with a sharp expression and whispered.

“who? Who is curious? Kekeke!”

The men who were soaping their hair closed their eyes tightly and shouted.

“Wash up quickly! Waiting for the next one!”

“Yumma! You are not even a man!”

“Aren’t married men worse off?! I think I’ll tell the wives!”

“no! Absolutely no way!”

Carrot, who had been laughing in the bathtub, suddenly jumped up from her seat and shouted.

“omg! Didn’t I just see everyone here naked?!”

The men who were washing turned around and asked what they were talking about. Carrot’s eyes twinkled.

“I need to learn to draw! then!”

At that moment, the men who applied soap all over their bodies became one and looked at Carrot with sharp eyes.

“I’ll buy them all!”

“me too! i will buy it too! Anything you draw!”

It reminds me of what Ulpa said while practicing sling by the river one day.

It is me, not anyone else, that raises my value.

Carrot clenched her fist.

“My value is going up! All of you are naked in my memory!”

“Ooh! Praise Carrot! Praise the doll of Bacchus, the god of wine and amusement!”

“Ouch! crazy! Do it in moderation!”

Just then, the screams of angry female adventurers rose up, and the night in the warehouse area deepened.

No matter what happened behind the scenes, Crank steadfastly continued assembling the automaton.

and at dawn,

“complete···!”

“congratulations.”

Eris, who was awake from going to the bathroom for a while, found a historic moment and clapped softly.

She took a pocket watch out of her pocket and opened it.

“Wow, it’s already 4 in the morning.”

“You bought it.”

Crank looked at her pocket watch, which suddenly appeared. Eris smiled and looked at her watch again.

“My late father had a pocket watch like this, and I really wanted to have one someday.”

“Good. It sounds pretty good, but is it a compass too?”

“yes?”

When Eris was flustered, the crank that had been given her pocket watch opened the back cover and showed it.

“It is a compass. You can check the north, south, east and west. It is essential for navigating on a map.”

“Wow, I didn’t know.”

“You know now, don’t you?”

After receiving the pocket watch back, Eris smiled and thanked her.

“Thank you for letting me into your party.”

“Your abilities would have been well-received wherever you went. Don’t lower yourself too much.”

“I feel really fortunate to have met you all on this trip. I heard that there are many scary adventurers.”

It might not have been fortunate. Really weird monsters are everywhere.

Crank, who had been watching Eris quietly, turned around and muttered as he arranged his tools.

“There are many gears in that clock. A cog will only turn when it meets another cog. Eris, you and I happened to be part of the cogs. However, it is not recommended to assume that all cogs will fit. The gears of human relationships can stop at any time.”

“Crank is a bit pessimistic.”

Crank shut up. It was because it was something I had heard from Macro’s Automaton Gauge once.

is it?

“no. My master is a romanticist. The last thing left in this world,”

When I turned my head, there was Carrot standing with a large bandage on her right cheek.

Because it is an automaton, it does not sleep, so it was on the way back after taking care of the people in the warehouse while staying vigil.

“It’s morning, what are you doing? Eris, too, put some more eyes on it. I can sleep for two more hours.”

“yes.”

Eris crawled into the sleeping bag of the folding cot. Then he hung the pocket watch around his neck and closed his eyes.

“Is this done?”

“Once it is assembled. However, once the nerve wire is cut, the signal transmission slows down, but I don’t know what will happen. It’s a pity that I couldn’t do the maneuver test.”

Arms crossed, Carrot looked down at Automaton Mera, who was lying on Crank’s bed.

“He was such a great guy. He fought very well.”

“I opened the inside, and I could see the hand of a very skillful knight. Not only the additional extension of artificial muscles and ligaments, but also the positioning was surprising. There was a lot to learn.”

“We can’t rule out the possibility of being a veteran. His fighting sense was also outstanding.”

Crank, who was touching his chin, looked down at Mera.

“Then it’s a bit of a waste. Even if you don’t, you’ve been with the pirates before, so there’s a chance that the locals will look down on you.”

“Should we rather have it? It’s to build an army of automatons.”

Crank didn’t answer. Just a thumbs up,

It looked like the sun would rise in three hours, so Crank stayed up all night fixing the party members’ equipment. And in the morning, while everyone was out hunting, they rented a wagon and drove Carrot and Mera to the Automaton store.

“Oohhh! Hey, it’s a doll of a goddess!”

“Ahem!”

Carrot, with her arms crossed, raised her nose and cleared her throat. The store manager, who was looking at her cutely, asked.

“Are you the master of that doll?”

“That’s right.”

“How much will it be?”

It was the crank that suddenly reminded me of manager Coco at the Argon Automaton store.

“Let’s ask for an automaton to use as a town guard. new,”

Ignoring the answer with a steely expression, the store owner became sullen, but he still steadfastly introduced the new automaton.

“It is the latest type equipped with reading and writing and basic common sense as well as combat skills. A heat shield and a magic stone are optional…”

“how much?”

“A heat shield and a magic stone?”

“Red, the wig is white.”

The storekeeper, who made a quick calculation, said.

“It’s 32 million Leeds. How many months to pay in installments…?”

Crank, who stayed up all night, was intoxicated with a rootless confidence with a dull head.

Awesome…!

The store owner was surprised when he put the heavy money bag on the table.

From noble mtl dot com

“Pay in cash! We will service the basic armament!”

After paying and waiting for a while, an automaton with a wig, combat uniform, and a long sword walked from the maintenance room.

“Nice to meet you. master.”

“Sorry, but I am not your master. You will use it for the town guard.”

“Guard, I understand.”

Crank went back to the fishing village in the carriage and nodded when he heard the news that Gustav had left.

“This is the promised automaton.”

“Oh oh-!”

The villagers were amazed. An automaton wearing a clean black combat uniform, a white face and a white thermal wig, is wearing a long sword and staring at the villagers.

“I couldn’t fix the one I took. Instead, it is a brand new 32 million Leeds.”

“New?! Oh no, are you okay?”

“It’s good for us! Oh my God, it’s an automaton guard! hahahaha!”

Crank lowered his helmet and brought it closer to the men.

“It almost matches the stuff in the box. Wouldn’t it matter?”

The men as well as the village women were delighted. Having an automaton for security in the town means having power, and at the same time symbolizing safety.

People’s morals, ethics, and public power may be responsible for maintaining public order in this world, but

After all, it is power.

“I haven’t given you a name yet, do you have a suitable name?”

“Gustav.”

Without thinking, Baguette raised her hand and said. Usually, automatons are given pretty names, but everyone agreed on the name. Crank also conceded.

“Your name is Gustaf from now on, the name of a brave dwarf who saved the villagers from pirates a while ago.”

Automaton Gustaf nodded.

“Recognition complete, my name is Gustav.”

“Protect this fishing village and its inhabitants. You are the captain of Physio’s guard from today.”

“Recognition complete, I am the captain of the guards in the fishing village of Physio. i look forward to.”

The villagers welcomed the automaton Gustav.
