Automatic Doll Automaton

“uh? uh! Ugh! crank? crank!”

Carrot, who was standing on the other side and watching the owner’s eccentricity, gave out a puzzled voice.

Crank took off his helmet.

I didn’t really want to hide it. It’s just that people who see it have seizures and wear it,

Crank was exposed naked in public.

The faces of the demon guards, who seemed to be ready to attack at any moment, sank in an instant. Eventually, tears began to well up in those frowning eyes.

“Aww…”

“Ah, ah…! Eh, Maou-nim?”

“Uh, Mom…? Why is Mom here…?”

“Spark…? uh? hahahaha! Aren’t you dead?”

“Tene? Tene! that’s my daughter! It’s my dead daughter! Tene! It’s mom! Mom is here…! Ughhh…!”

Facing Gensokyo that bloomed in reality, the demon guards couldn’t get out of it. No, I didn’t want to come out.

They were sobbing with joy after meeting someone they had been carrying in their hearts all along.

Curious about the situation, Carrot looked around with his hands behind his back. The demons sitting on the floor were crying and laughing together and talking to someone. On the human side, looking at his face, either out of luck or out of curiosity, Harrison and her lieutenant were weeping helplessly with eyes of disbelief.

“Everything, how are you…? kids? The kids are doing well. Hey, I’m doing well too…?”

“Ena! Mo, are you okay? Is your brother-in-law taking good care of you? okay! Parents are fine too! Ughhh…! Hey, how many years has this been…! I just thought you were dead…”

Whoa, what a catastrophe.

On the other hand, the automatons were fine. In the eyes of Carrot and other automatons, there was just an ordinary young man with an innocent face.

“Harrison?!”

“Commander! Is there a problem?!”

As the situation progressed strangely, the guards who were watching from afar came running and shouted. Harrison, who suddenly came to his senses, frowned and squeezed tears, looked at Crank’s profile again.

It’s only for a moment, but I see the face of a certain young man, and I think of the longing face again.

Aware of the illusion, unbearable anger surges through her heart and head.

Harrison shouted, looking back.

“Do not come! can’t come! crank! use it! write again! Quickly, you bastard!”

I have always been curious about the story of a young man who was cursed by a witch and wears a helmet. What kind of curse do you mean that you are doing that? But it seemed like he knew now.

What have you done! Gorgon!

Crank put on his helmet again, but people’s shock did not go away easily. The demon guards were still sitting on the ground and sobbing, and Harrison rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and ordered the hard-skin automatons to watch over them, then took everyone back to the village.

“Harrison!”

“Commander!”

The adventurers and guards under her command approached and worried about her. Harrison said it was okay, wiping away his tears, then turned and kicked Crank in the butt.

puck!

As the hesitant crank turned the pitch, Harrison, with a terrifying face, pointed at him.

“I can’t believe what I saw, so I’m going to shut up! So you never take it off. Got it!”

“All right.”

“Come back with the automatons!”

Because it was the order of the general manager, others could not intervene. Crank bowed to show his courtesy, then loaded the automatons into the wagon he rode in and headed back.

Sitting in the carriage’s luggage compartment, Carrot said as she looked around the villages on the truce line.

“Master, you are great. Thinking of taking it off?”

“Well, things weren’t good. And it doesn’t wear out, so is there any need to save it?”

Carrot, who had been looking up at him quietly, asked.

“Aren’t you deliberately not breaking the curse?”

Crank didn’t answer. He just raised his big hand and stroked Carrot’s head.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

After a flurry of commotion, the heads of both sides stood facing each other again across the armistice line. Both of them were still cold.

The guard chief, Peusicke, rubbing his eyes with a large towel and blowing his nose grandiosely, giggles and raises his finger.

“Harrison, I would believe you even if you were a demon now. Your eyes are very red.”

“I don’t want to hear you say that in a snoring voice.”

After a little giggling, Pushike hardened his face.

“What is that child?”

Harrison let out a short sigh and explained the situation. Surprise spread across Pushike’s face. At the same time, his eyes widened.

“The Curse of the Witch Gorgon? and! God, did we get caught up in that now?”

“yes. I’ve only been told, that damn bastard.”

After thinking for a while with his arms crossed, Pushike shook his head and muttered.

“No, I think it was not a bad decision on his own. As a result, you succeeded in stopping our idiots.”

As expected, Pushike let out a short sigh and raised his head.

“sorry. There was insufficient supervision of children. I knew young kids were blind, but I didn’t expect it to be like that.”

“are you okay. Because I learned something new. I thought I would just have to cover my face, but the demons seem surprisingly interested in big things too?”

“hehehehe, I heard a story about a woman who fell in love with a bull. Isn’t it natural to be interested in big and beautiful things? Are you wrong?”

Harrison, with a very serious face, shakes his head.

“I am not. I hate being that awfully big. That should be good enough. The body is also a little skinny…”

Pushike, who had been looking down at her as she put her hand on top of her head, smiled slightly.

“Your taste is simple, was your late husband like that?”

“Did you ever have a daughter? look like you?”

The two looked at each other. Then he straightened up and started laughing. The guards who were watching from the top of the castle wall murmured.

“You meet like that often these days. What are you talking about?”

“Couldn’t it be a funny joke?”

“A lot has changed since those two took office. It’s really nice to have some time to breathe.”

Similarly, the demon guards sat on the other side of the fence and watched them, exposing sharp teeth and red eyes.

“Certainly, isn’t it better than the days when we fought each other? The magic crystal bomb doesn’t fall while eating, right?”

“I think I had more fun back then…”

“Cuckoo! Cuckoo! What you looking at? can i see it too? Can I see it?”

A small girl clung to the back of the Demon Guard, who was sitting on the floor casually, making a ferocious expression and soaking up memories. The terrifying face in the shadows changed to a carefree face and hugged the child tightly.

“Uh heh! Then, don’t be. This is what you want!”

“Hey, Cuckoo. Aren’t what you say and what you do wrong?”

“Can you look at this face and say that!”

Cuckoo picked up the demon girl and pushed her against it. The cute girl was blinking, and the demon guard melted away at that gaze.

“Kyaaagh! What! What a cute creature! I want to hug you too!”

“Don’t handle it too lightly!”

“shut up! Coupin! This is our treasure!”

“Because she’s my daughter?!”

A demon woman wearing armor shouted out loud with a spirited expression.

The situation was sorted out with a meeting between the people in charge of both sides, and a peaceful everyday night returned. Guardsmen from both sides went to their assigned positions along the wide armistice line and began guard duty.

“This is not fair.”

Under the bright moon, Morphine muttered lowly as she looked down at the red line across the floor.

That’s right. Only demons cannot cross the truce line. It was easy for humans and animals to jump over it if they wanted to.

Because of this, humans are also skeptical about guard duty along the armistice line, but poachers often go over to hunt for animals and plants that only grow in the Demon Territory, such as rock salt, and end up dying for various reasons.

why are we here?

To prevent humans from coming over here?

It can’t be. The monsters on this side are more powerful than those on the other side. Without those mechanical dolls, you can’t be as good as insects. Who, who, why?

Morphine, who had been thinking for a while, felt a strong curiosity and raised her foot and stepped on the ground across the truce line.

“Oooh?!”

After a while, a sudden headache and severe nausea come up. Morphine, who quickly returned, lays on the floor and vomits and retches for a while, then wipes his mouth and raises his head with a ferocious smile. His eyes were on the vomit he had put out.

“damn···! Too bad Siri…”

While Morphine was conducting strange experiments in her area, a long-awaited meeting was taking place in a place quite far away.

A man who should have fallen asleep at the inn after work was hanging out in the woods, relying on the moonlight. He was the man who decided to treat Raikin, the gate guard, to dinner during the day.

The time is spring, around the time monsters start to come up and roam around.

The longsword held in one hand was heavily coated with mud with non-reflective treatment.

“Gel?”

The man who reflexively shrank at the voice in the dark turned his head quickly. It was a familiar gesture tempered by experience. But it also unfolded again. The man recognized the black shadow standing in front of the demarcation line and happily ran to it.

“Coupin!”

“Idiot…! shut up···! Lower your voice…! Over there, Morphine has really good ears…!”

Coupin, a demon woman with her hair up, threatens him. He wore a mask on a slightly distorted helmet, revealing only his eyes, but his crying face was revealed. The man who ran in hastily was restless in front of the demarcation line.

“Ha, but it’s only been a week…! Is Mino okay? It hurts…!”

“dad?”

A small girl in a winter coat pokes her head out from behind Couffin’s legs. When he lowered his mask, the face of a man with a beard appeared.

Mino, a demon girl, jumps out from behind her mother and raises her arms.

“dad!”

“quiet···!”

hook-!

Unable to bear it any longer, Gel put his sword on the ground and jumped over the demarcation line and hugged his daughter.

“dad···! dad···!”

“Mino…! This guy…! Growing up like this where I can’t see…!”

The kneeling human guard Gel hugged her daughter and rubbed her beard wildly. Mino was fussed about being stingy. A sorry Gel touched his chin and said.

“I was in a hurry so I couldn’t even shave.”

“Yes, I liked your face. What beast is this?”

“Ummm… Now, wait a minute…!”

Gell looked around, swept the clean snow that remained around him, rubbed it on his face, and took out a sharp dagger and started shaving.

Sak-sak…!

Sitting on a nearby rock, with his daughter Minnow on his lap, Kuffin gazed deeply at the shaving man.

“Uh, how are you?”

“It’s on the corners of the mouth and a little is left on the chin.”

“Uh, um.”

As I finally finished, the face of a well-dressed man was revealed. Coupin smiled and nodded.

“This is it. You should watch it a lot before you don’t recognize it. Because you grow old quickly.”

Gel’s face became greasy. Standing up from his seat, he hugged Kuffin and Mino.

“I will live a long time. I will definitely survive and live like that, proud of my demonic wife and pretty daughter…! damn···! I should have just killed him back then…!”

Kuffin, who was being hugged by Gel, laughed fiercely.

“Kekeke-! I wanted to bring misery to you, who humiliated me, so the operation was a success.”

“You have that mouth…!”

“Isn’t that a good mouth to kiss? hmm? Jjongjjong~!”

Gel’s face flushed when he saw Kufin looking at him with pursed lips.

So, Coupin covered Mino’s head with the hood of his winter clothes and showed off a hot lip slap.
