Automatic Doll Automaton

Lorna said as she looked back at him as he rushed away.

“He was a very noisy person.”

“It reminds me of someone who had his eye on that automaton.”

Lorna turned her head.

“It’s a moving doll, right? It was hard to resist wanting to touch it once. There was even a small automaton like that. How much?”

Dwarf Bob wondered if he had mentioned it for nothing. Peter, who had been listening, answered.

“well. I don’t know the details, but since it’s small, wouldn’t it be a bit cheap? I think it will be around 10 million Leeds.”

“It is more expensive than I thought.”

Lorna suddenly became sullen. Crank, fully packed, drove the wagon.

“I want to take a look at the place where those people came from on the way, is that okay? I might be able to get some wolf skins. That is expensive.”

“It doesn’t matter if you can spot it along the way, but search is not allowed. We have work.”

“All right.”

After moving for about 30 minutes in a wagon, I actually found a goblin and a wolf lying on the side of the road. Lorna reluctantly agreed, and Crank skinned two wolves at once, cut off their heads and legs, and brought them back.

As the priest frowned, Crank scratched his head with an awkward expression. Bob, who was watching, asked.

“Hey, is that evenly split?”

“Of course. It’s a party rule to share common income.”

Only then did everyone start managing their facial expressions. Peter looked back and said.

“Anyway, that friend just throws away anything that makes money and goes away. This is also quite nice.”

“If money is not urgent. Someone you don’t know at all. I will depart.”

Crank, who climbed back to the driver’s seat, urged the road.

After arriving in Stein, Kane registered as an adventurer and began his activities in earnest.

He has better skills than he thought and has a good brain, so within a few months he made his name known and became a new adventurer that the guild pays attention to.

“Whoa… … ! I’m home.”

“Oh oh! Kane! Are you back?!”

A young man wearing glasses who was sitting at the adventurer’s guild reception desk smiled and stood up. Kane, who had gone far to find materials requested by the Wizards Guild, returned with a haggard smile and gave a thumbs up.

“Mum-hu-hu! If you get caught in this body, it’s all over. But I’m too tired. I need to get some rest. Lulu.”

Kane looked back and a small automaton walked out carrying a large backpack. The maid uniform she was wearing was stained with blood and dust and was in a mess, and the hat she was wearing was also decorated with arrows.

Kane, who took out the Juseom Juseom request from the backpack, left it at the reception desk and received the request fee.

iron-!

“Mandragora collection complete! The request fee is 2 million Leeds!”

“wow-! Two million in one shot!?”

“It’s not expensive! I thought I was dying! Mandragora scream, have you heard?!”

After wandering around the guild and yelling at the adventurers who came to watch, Kane took an appropriate amount of the contents from the money bag and put it back into the reception desk.

“The rest is savings. How many have you gathered now?”

A female receptionist sitting at a desk in the back rummaged through the papers and smiled.

“It’s 33 million Leeds.”

“Well, it doesn’t come together as well as I thought. I want to prepare a combat automaton.”

The adventurers who were watching from the side helped.

“Then let’s have a party soon. There are really limits to being alone.”

“I think we should, but let’s wash up and go to sleep. I came running all night and I think I’m going to die.”

Kane, who returned to the dormitory provided by the guild after finishing his work, washed up and passed out on the bed.

After a while, his door opened and Lulu poked her head out.

The little automaton looked around, put a basket full of laundry on its head, ran to the washroom, and started doing the laundry.

Over and over again-!

Lulu, who took a long time to wash all of her master’s clothes, now took off her own clothes, soaked them in cold water, and washed them with soap. Just then, the adventurers who were curious about the appearance approached.

“Wow, look at this. The little automaton does the laundry by itself.”

“That’s really, really amazing. They take care of the washing and cleaning.”

“This is really convenient. Shall I buy one too?”

“How about getting married?”

The adventurers who were giggling among themselves approached and poured their clothes into Lulu’s laundry tub.

“Hey, automaton, do this too.”

Lulu raised her head and said.

“These are not my master’s clothes.”

“Wow, look at what you say.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to live on the same roof? I will tell your master.”

“I need permission from the owner and direct confirmation.”

A man picked up the clothes Lulu was washing and said.

“This is the maid outfit you wear every day. cute. But it’s almost a piece of rag.”

“Give it back. The laundry is not finished.”

“hahahahaha! If you do my laundry, I’ll give it back!”

chin-!

A thick grip gripped the raised arm. It was a crank that happened to come to do laundry. He looked down at the men with a distorted innocent face. That height was rare even in this world.

“what! Who is this kid?! Don’t let this go?! ok! uh?”

“What! crank!?”

The men’s faces darkened. Crank, who accidentally bumped into a runaway creditor, raised his fist in rage.

“Give me my money. I just can’t get over it this time.”

“Ah, no, that’s what… … !”

The moment the men quickly rolled their eyes and looked for an excuse, their fists flew. Crank had decided that he couldn’t take back the money he had lent him from before, and was determined to correct that habit.

Puck puck puck!?

The discarded laundry basket bounced off the wall, scattering dirty laundry everywhere, against which large bears tangled up, punching and kicking.

Puck puck puck! puck!

“do not be like this! I’ll give you money!”

“Not required!”

Crank wanted to imprint on them that there is nothing more terrifying than creditors who give up their money and think of other things.

Puck puck puck!

A scuffle that suddenly broke out in the restroom was soon forcibly suppressed by a group of steering committee members.

“Do it in moderation! You crazy boys! You guys come this way!”

“ah! Hey, take care of it! sick!”

“Don’t be like a girl! You psychopath!”

puck puck!

“you! Crank, you bastard! Wait and see!”

Crank growled as Crank did as the men who were being caught shouted harshly.

“I’m going to hit the principal later, so be careful at night. You ugly swindlers,”

“crank! yes man! Stop talking nonsense!”

When the steering committee member who was leading the men out raised a club to warn them, Crank shut his mouth and turned his head away.

Left alone in the washroom, Crank, who had been struggling, stepped back in surprise when he saw something black moving on the floor.

A small automaton that was just picking up spilled laundry raised its head.

It was an automaton that had started wandering around the adventurer’s dormitory not too long ago, and it was a familiar face.

Anyway, when you take it off, it’s a really ugly doll.

It was as if they had hit the washtub while fighting, but what spilled out was a plate that needed to be rinsed again. Crank suddenly felt apologetic.

“Oh, um, sorry. You even overturned your laundry.”

“no. rather thank you You found my clothes.”

Crank did not answer, crouching down with his large body, helping to collect the scattered laundry. Lulu looked at him curiously.

“I will do it. I will do it. It belongs to my master.”

“no. I messed up, so I’ll do it. don’t worry. I think I just need to rinse it off.”

Despite the small automaton’s disapproval, when Lulu’s laundry was finished collecting and rinsing, Crank poured water into the bucket for his own laundry. At that time, Lulu came to the side and said, pointing to the bin where the smelly laundry was stacked separately.

“This does not belong to my master. However, he said that he had received permission from the owner. What should I do?”

why are you asking me that?

The twitching of her fingers pointing to the laundry made Lulu seem hesitant about something. Are you trying to overwrite it with another human’s command because you can’t reject a human’s command with your own will?

Crank, who scratched his head a bit, looked at Lulu again and said.

“Are those guys? I will take responsibility. Leave it there. You do what you have to do.”

Lulu nodded quickly, then jumped back onto the platform and hurried to wash her clothes.

Chow! Boom!

After rinsing and wringing out the water, turning it on a couple of times and throwing it into the laundry tub, Lulu now pushed the footrest to the side of the crank and stood up.

Crank was amazed at this little black automaton that came to the side and took the laundry and began to make a mess.

“done. When you’ve done your work, go back.”

“I’m done. We are here to help.”

“it’s okay.”

“I want to help.”

The laundry came and went and then stopped. It was because Lulu grabbed it and raised her head. Crank, who looked down at the automaton’s flat face for a moment, relaxed his hands.

“okay. Thank you.”

Eventually, after finishing the laundry with Lulu’s help, Crank hung the clothes on the clothesline in the backyard of the dormitory building and sat down on a stone block under a tree to wait for it to dry. Sitting next to her was Lulu wearing wet clothes.

“Why are you wearing it?”

“I don’t have spare clothes.”

When I looked at what I was wearing, it was torn everywhere.

“That friend is very rough. take it off I will sew it.”

“He asked me not to take off my clothes in front of a foreigner.”

Crank laughed. Then I noticed another strange thing.

“Are those shoes on your feet?”

“yes.”

Originally, I was wearing cute shoes with high-quality lace socks, but as I followed the rough work and endured the heavy weight, the socks were worn out and the shoes were worn out and torn. And now it was tied with a piece of leather attached to it.

“This is really terrible.”

Crouching down, Crank grabbed the slender legs and took off his shoes. Surprisingly, Lulu just watched quietly.

“I’m guarding the laundry for a minute.”

Crank went up to his room with it, tapped it for a while using leather straps, awls, hammers, etc., and then came back down with the shoes he had repaired in his own way.

Lulu was still sitting on a rock in the shade of a tree and greeted him.

“Try this on.”

Lulu, who was guarding the laundry, jumped up and ran barefoot and received the shoe that Crank held out. The shoes, which were sewn and reinforced here and there, lost their original cuteness and became somewhat rugged, but they seemed to be just as strong.

When I put it on, my feet feel much lighter.

“thank you. Easy to walk.”

“Ask your master to buy you new shoes. It’s hard with that. I heard that the soles of the automatons wear out without shoes?”

“I requested it, but it is currently being delayed due to lack of funds.”

“Okay, money is always an issue.”

In front of Crank, who nodded, Lulu slightly lifted the dry hem of her skirt and bent her knees.

Crank laughed shyly at the thank you of Lulu, the automaton wearing a skirt.
