Automatic Doll Automaton

When I returned to the workshop, Lotte and Venus, who had been to the guild, had returned.

“I got off work.”

“I’m going to work at dawn tomorrow too.”

Carrot greeted them and asked.

“great job! Where have you been?”

Lotte told the story of going to catch the bounty with the swordsmen of the party sunset. As I told them the story of information collection from departure, trace tracking, and career prediction, Tuna with a cup of tea and Ariete with a plate of pancakes sat in front of them and listened to the story.

“Wow, something bigger than I thought? Hairy Adventure Team.”

“The Hairy Adventure Team?”

“These are the people we met on the roadside when we went to register for citizenship. Everyone had beards.”

“Oh, oh my. I remember.”

Lotte added.

“Party, the swordsmen of the setting sun said that they mainly catch bounty. In the case of the fugitive I tracked down this time, he called me because he had a combat automaton with him. I caught it near the capital of Lisnet.”

“and! Did you go to the capital?”

“Their party had its own carriage.”

Carrot’s eyes widened.

“Faaa, a car for parties!?”

“I heard that there are many fugitives, so they bought it at an excessive cost to track them down.”

The evaluation of the hairy adventure team was drastically revised because the work was more unusual than expected. Next, Venus, sitting upright on a chair, went to a nearby pioneer village to subdue monsters.

“I worked with the Molly Wizards. I am friendly with the owners, so they all welcomed me.”

“Everyone there is good friends.”

It is said that he came to clean up the monsters around the pioneer village, which recently started migrating, and to help people in their overall lives.

“As a city support policy, they plan to regularly visit the surrounding pioneer villages to patrol and subdue monsters. Besides that, I built houses, dug wells, and looked after children.”

Venus showed them what she had carefully pulled out of the tactical pocket of her combat uniform. What came out of that hand was a dried shamrock wreath.

“The village children made it for me. I was delighted.”

The automatons that once received glances and words of resentment from pirate ships now received glances of gratitude and respect.

Venus said the same thing once more.

“I was delighted.”

“It must have been nice.”

Turning her head, Venus looked at Carrot in the seat next to her. It’s a mask with no expression, but everyone thought it might be smiling.

The next day, Crank woke up and heard that someone from the maintenance guild had come and got out of bed.

“are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. I am not that weak.”

On a clear spring day when all the snow in the world melted, Ariete was presented with a set of arms and legs that could move without an exoskeleton from the Automaton Maintenance Guild.

From noble mtl dot com

It was simply inserted into severed arms and legs, and the most notable part was that the existing wired nervous system link mechanism was replaced with a wireless connection, so that commands could be transmitted to the limbs simply by wearing a metal ring around the neck.

“Uh…?!”

Ariete, who took off her exoskeleton Shion and stood up instead with a prosthetic arm and leg made by the maintenance guild, was amazed.

As if her severed arms and legs had been restored, Ariete burst into tears. It was the same feeling as when he stood up on his own two legs with the help of the exoskeleton automaton Shion.

All the people gathered in the workshop looked at her and put on a warm expression.

The guild master, Mushu, twirled his beard and said, as if he really liked his skills.

“I’ll tell you in advance, it can’t be used for combat, but your daily life will no longer be any different from that of ordinary people. Besides the automaton combat uniform, you can now wear other clothes as well.”

Ariete turned around while shedding tears and bowed down to express her gratitude to the maintenance guild members, including the guild master Monsieur.

Ariete looked at Crank, Carrot, and Shion and opened her arms.

She was wearing shorts and a shirt, and she was crying and laughing with her white limbs attached as if she were wearing long gloves and both feet.

“Look, I was originally like this. It looked like this.”

“okay. You have a well-proportioned body. pretty.”

“huh! It’s perfect now. Nice, Ariete.”

clap clap clap,

The one clapping next to him was the exoskeleton automaton Shion.

“congratulations. Is beautiful. Ariete.”

Ariete stepped forward and carefully embraced the exoskeleton automaton Shion.

“Even so, you are still the same body as me. don’t abandon me Please continue to be my arms and legs. I need you.”

“All right.”

The exoskeleton automaton looked even more bizarre after taking it off, but it was nice to see the two of them.

The articles who had been watching it quietly began to whisper, and soon it developed into a heated discussion.

“Can you make a rideable automaton?”

“Oh oh!”

“I already have a hardskin automaton that works well enough by itself, so why?”

“I’d rather put this remote link on the hardskin!”

“Don’t you understand the meaning? What do you use hard skin for?”

“what! Are you done talking!?”

“Riding Gazua!”

“no! Why do humans have to intervene now in battle in the first place? There is a warrior who moves fully automatically! It doesn’t make any sense!”

“Because that’s a man’s romance!”

“It’s a romance, it’s sleeping, and it’s inefficient! Inefficient!”

The knights are debating among themselves. The guild master, Monsieur, who had been there before he knew it, spoke.

“Boarding! good idea! I want to try making it! I ride and steer!”

The faces of the knights claiming to be riding automatons are colored.

“Guild Master!”

“Oh oh! Old man!”

The excited Monsieur Guild Master’s face hardened rapidly with his fists raised.

“But I will be busy from now on. I need to make an automaton prosthetic. Let’s do that later.”

Crank also wanted to join the discussion, but he had to hold back because Carrot with an axe eye was clinging to his leg.

“Take this.”

The guild master Monsieur approached Crank and held out a leather pouch.

“There are a few retired adventurers who hope to return. Of course, since the number is limited, it won’t sell much, but it will greatly reduce the burden on adventurers in the future.”

Even if a limb is cut off, something is prepared to replace it.

In the pocket, instead of money, there was a document and a certified magic stone.

“It’s not long, but this month’s payment has been deposited, so check it out.”

“thank you.”

The guild master Monsieur, who had been looking up at the crank, snapped his fingers. Then the waiting knights came with a movable staircase. The guild master Monsieur, who stood on top of it and crossed his arms, now looked down at the crank and opened his mouth.

“You bastard, do you have any plans to quit being an adventurer and become a mechanic?”

Crank was taken aback by the unexpected suggestion, but Carrot, who had been clinging to his leg, raised his head in delight.

“I like that! I can’t help but hope that my master will live a leisurely life while fixing the automaton! We’ll go on an adventure! Live safely!”

Crank was still looking down at Carrot, but shook his head.

“It will most likely happen someday, but not now.”

“I knew it. Do you still have the eyes of an adventurer? If you get seriously injured somewhere, your thoughts will change. See you again then.”

Instead of answering, Crank showed courtesy to him by lowering his pitcher and extending his hand.

Carrot, who had left the Automaton Maintenance Guild and walked by Crank’s side, was pouting his lips.

“I want you to live long.”

“Mortals die someday. I want to do what I have to do, what I want to do, and what I can do before that.”

Carrot, who put her hand on her head, looked at the crank, then turned her gaze to see Ariete following her.

“Ariete? How are you?”

“Okay. very good. Your steps are light.”

“Would you like to marry a crank?”

Cheeky?!

While walking, Ariete fell with her legs twisted. Shion, who was walking beside her, supported her.

Ariete, whose face was flushed red, raises her head in awe.

“Nana, me, me? With Crank Crank?!”

“Why don’t you like it?”

“Ahhhhh!!”

“Carrot, don’t do that.”

Carrot laughs Betsy as Crank speaks in a heavy voice.

“okay. Don’t make a scary face, I’ll stop playing around.”

Somehow embarrassed, Carrot laughed ahahahaha and hurriedly ran away from them. Crank turned his head away from Carrot and said to Ariete, who now stood up.

“Ariete.”

“Oh, yes! What, what!”

“It’s temporary, but we are a family. So don’t be swayed by what Carrot is doing. And don’t worry, you’re not my taste.”

Ariete’s face, which had been listening quietly, turned red in a different way. The eyebrows seem to pierce the sky.

She raised her arms and shouted out loud.

“Wow, that’s rude! Even though I look like this, in my hometown, I heard that a beautiful woman only appears once in a thousand years! Rather, what is your taste!”

Instead of answering, Crank quickly turned around and began to run while breathing heavily. Ariete chased after her, but since it was for everyday use, her running speed was not that fast. So I couldn’t really close the distance.

“Stand there! It’s a perverted muscle bucket!”

“hahahaha! What is that? Are you Carrot and Crank? The priest is here too.”

“What’s funny again?”

First battle Carrot, then Crank, then Ariete and exoskeleton Shion ran through the streets of the city, and people passing by laughed at it.

Upon arriving at the workshop, Crank held out his pocket to Tuna wearing glasses who was sitting in the lab behind.

“Take it. It is yours.”

“Uh, huh?”

After hearing the story from Crank, Tuna smiles as she examines the certified magic stone.

“Wow, bird, living expenses coming in? I-I didn’t think it would be so useful.”

“With this you can quietly concentrate on your studies. Anyway, don’t forget.”

Tuna smiled and nodded, holding the leather pouch in her hand.

“Yeah, thanks, Crank.”

Crank turned around and raised his right thumb instead of answering.

“Kh, krang…! Wow…!”

Arriete, who arrived at the studio late, exhausted, leaned against Shion and gasped for breath. Since he ran entirely on his own stamina, not Zion’s assistance, his speed was not fast and his stamina was consumed.

“crank···! About that taste…! Tell me some stories…! Would you like to share…!”

When Ariete, baring her teeth, raised her head, Carrot, who had suddenly disappeared, appeared with a bag full of colorful cotton candy.

“Whoah, calm down, eat this and relieve your anger.”

Carrot handed a blue cotton candy to Ariete, who was getting upset. Ariete, who received it while holding her breath, growled as she looked at Crank, but Crank covered his helmet with the red cotton candy Carrot held out.

“Now, Tuna is yellow.”

“Ohhhhh! Cow, cotton candy.”

Carrot also gave cotton candy to Charles, Lotte, and Venus.

“The soft and fluffy cotton candy battle to relieve the owner’s anger!”

“What, what?”

Everyone in the studio was holding a colorful cotton candy one by one, and they made a puzzled expression at Carrot’s unknown cry.

Tuna looked around and her eyes twinkled.

“Po, mokomoko? What is it? Heuhuhhhhh! Yeah, but this is really nice to see. Cotton candy for an automaton doll weapon, it suits you well.”

On the other hand, Ariete, who had cotton candy in her hand but was not angry, pointed at her. Although the subject did not care much,

“Look at the carrots and cotton candy, I’ll just skip it!”

“Um, sweet.”

The automatons holding the cotton candy still tilted their heads at Carrot. Lotte said.

“Carrot, we are automatons.”

“that’s right. But you know what a feeling is? Wouldn’t it be the instinct of a creature to want to imitate the Creator?”

Charles intervenes.

“It could serve as a decoration for tonight. I’ll put it on Ariete’s favorite pancakes.”

“Oh, um, yes.”

Ariete, who had cotton candy in her hand, was a bit embarrassed. And really, the pancakes at dinner were decorated with cotton candy, which excited the viewers.

“Go, I can take it to the store and sell it.”

“Um! It’s different. It’s delicious.”

Charles, who was holding a soban, had no expression on his face, but he looked happy.
