Carrot ran and brought two more boxes.
Crank put on a look that said he had a headache, then sat down. No, I did, but then I got up again.
“… … I’ll go to the post office. I should tell you not to bring it every time, but to bring it all at once.”
As Ariete tried to follow naturally, the crank grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her body backwards.
“You, wash up. After the maintenance, let’s go to work in earnest.”
“I’ll buy you a snack when you come!”
Tuna approached Ariete as she watched Crank and Carrot go out again.
“So, how was it? What is the capital?”
“Okay, I need to talk to Tuna too.”
Ariete explained what had happened in the capital. Tuna was surprised to sit down and enjoy the story while eating the corn popcorn that Charles had fried.
“Transplanted the arithmetic crystal? enchantment? A golden doll? To level up? Wow, Crank really does a great job. What a man.”
Ariete was more surprised that she didn’t stutter now.
“Yeah, but why does it turn golden when I use an enchantment?”
Venus, who had been sitting in her seat charging and listening quietly, intervened.
“An automaton without a soul is recognized as a tool, so the priest I was with the other day said that. I also received that enchantment. It is really golden.”
“Oh oh! really?”
While living together in the workshop, Ariete learned some interesting characteristics of Tuna. He stutters, but rarely stutters when his interest comes up. He knew a lot about medicine and other things, and he was ambidextrous and shy.
And today, I learned one more new feature.
Ariete stood up from her seat and opened her mouth when she saw what Tuna was doing.
“Enchant.”
Ching-!
She opened the book she had brought and muttered the spell written inside for a while, then put her hand on Charles’ head wearing an apron and used the enchantment.
As Charles’ whole body began to turn golden, Tuna made a startling sound. But that sound was overshadowed by Ariete’s screams.
“Hoohhh?! Are you really okay?”
“Tutu tu tu tu?! Were you a wizard?!”
“huh?”
Tuna opened her eyes wide through her glasses, looked back and forth between Charles and Ariete, then began to break out in a cold sweat. Tuna, who was looking for something to cover up, said while avoiding her gaze.
“Uh, uh uh uh uh, uh, not that much, su, Master is a magician, so it’s just a little bit of simple operations… … .”
“amazing! What is the attack magic? Can I use fireballs or magic missiles?”
Seeing the cheering Ariete, Tuna shook her head nervously.
“Oh, oh, no. The spell calculation speed is slow, so I can’t use it in real life. The operating mana is also low.”
“Ohhhhh! you can write! My friend is a wizard! such luck! Be my wizard! Tuna!”
“Oh, oh, no. Me, I’m a bit, uh, scared… … .”
At that time, Charles, who received the enchantment and all his stats soared, placed his golden hand on Tuna’s shoulder.
“Excuse me, Tuna. There is something I want to say to you today.”
“Uh, huh?”
Captured by Charles, Tuna had to listen to nagging about her usual dissolute life. Things like waking up late, picking up spills while eating, not washing well, throwing clothes away, and walking around the workshop in underwear when no one else is around were all listed, which made Tuna very shy.
“Leave a clean and regular life. I am concerned about your health and life.”
“Huh, yes, Charles’ mother.”
Seeing that, Charles looked at Ariete, who was laughing hahahahaha, and now began to say something similar to her.
“So are you. Ariete, before tidying up your sword and equipment, start by tidying up the bedding on your bed. Of course, that’s my job too. Compared to the owner of the crank, the life of the two is very different. Your life is no different from that of a child.”
“Stop it! I was wrong.”
Lotte, sitting in a chair and charging, said.
“It feels like Charles’s ego has become stronger. Will it be like that when I receive an enchantment?”
“When I received it, I sensed a strong sense of exhilaration along with the load of the calculation department.”
“What did you do then?”
Venus turned her head and looked at Lotte.
“I danced. With the Orcs.”

At the same time, the guild master Marvin, who was sitting in the office of the Adventurers Guild, smiled happily as he reviewed the notebook given to him by Marron, an employee returning from a business trip.
“Thank you for your hard work, Maron. Go in and rest today. Let’s hear more about it tomorrow.”
Maron, who was wearing plain clothes and a hood, nodded with a tired expression. After he went back and looked at the contents of the notebook, a female guild clerk came up.
“The guild master, adventurers Crank and Carrot are requesting a meeting.”
After a while, the guild master, facing Crank and Carrot, pretended not to know what they were talking about.
“The lady was a noble?”
“Yes, this business trip to the capital was for negotiations. Not much was gained, but the work was clear. So, Guild Master, I have something to tell you about that.”
Crank’s story amused him.
“Do you formalize the story with a children’s book?”
“Yes, if you can’t hide it, it’s better to play it so that no one knows. Ariete is honestly a good material, isn’t it?”
Just-!
Crank snapped her fingers and Carrot jumped up and sang like a minstrel as she swayed round and round the parlor.
“Ahh! Look at that beautiful blonde knight! Although he lost his limbs, he did not lose his love and courage. He met a nobleman in the early night and acquired new limbs made of steel. That is the beginning of a hero. So he raised his sword and rose again to become a hero, subduing even the flying dragon. In the midst of this, the secret of her birth is actually an aristocratic daughter who ran away after fighting with her mother.”
The eyes of the guild master, who had been making a lot of money lately with children’s books and magazines adapted from adventure stories, flashed.
Signs of jackpot! It works!
He hurriedly called in a few more clerks to prepare a memo.
“Leave the adaptation, printing, and distribution to me. However, I can’t pay much royalties.”
“I don’t need money. If there is a good request, it is enough to arrange it.”
“There is one good thing about that.”
“Let’s unpack our story and listen.”
I secretly followed him to gather information, but I didn’t expect him to come to me on his own. Marvin’s guild master nodded as he struggled to manage his expression.
The talkative automaton was in charge of the story.
Because the two of them made up their minds before entering the guild for the interview, they filtered out all the stories related to the novice adventurer training center.
Carrot told all the stories related to Ariete up to this visit to the capital.
A greedy smile began to spread across Marvin’s guild master’s face from the moment the chess demon king appeared who said that if you win by playing chess with him, he will grant you a wish.
“To save my sister! nice! The stories are connected. This looks like it will turn out to be pretty good stuff. The next installment of your children’s book has a premonition of greatness. Mmm-hu-hu!”
Carrot tilted her head.
“Hey? Isn’t the wizard who works in the royal castle an important position in the country? Can someone like that be used?”
“Isn’t it fine if you don’t reveal who you are? And people are weak to praise. It’s decorated nicely, but who doesn’t like it! hahahahaha!”
Crank and Carrot, who returned to the studio after receiving a request for a fairly good salary in return for providing materials, tilted their heads as they saw Charles, whose entire body was dyed in gold, sit down with Toona and Ariete and give an endless sermon.
As we ate dinner, Tuna put on a sad expression.
“Go out again?”
Carrot put her hand on Tuna’s shoulder and whispered with a very sad expression.
“… … Money, you have to earn it.”
“Kheueup!”
Ariete covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
Crank said.
“The destination is the Bourne Mountains in Wales, where the Cyphers border is located. It is an investigation mission to figure out the situation of refugees who are said to have gone into hiding from the civil war. The pay is good, so I’d like to take a few more to safety.”
“who?”
Crank glanced at Ariete and said.
“Let’s ask our friends from the emergency volunteer group about their intentions. Let’s pay about 1 to 3 minutes of the request fee.”
“Uh, oh, I know where they live. I’ve been going back and forth often lately.”
“Good. Take Tuna as a diplomat.”
“okay.”
The next day, after knocking Tuna awake after oversleeping, Carrot brushed off Tuna, who was sleeping while walking, and headed to the street on Fifth Avenue, where G.O’s party was located.
Argon’s urban structure is fairly simple. There is a square in the center and the numbered streets start clockwise.
At the time of opening, the districts were properly divided according to use, but now, over 20 years later, houses, warehouses, and shops were being built according to the situation, reality, and needs as desired.
“You guys were also in the warehouse area. What do you think of putting an adventurer in a storage area?”
Gio, who was resting after returning from the adventure yesterday, said with a smile.
“I heard that City Hall introduces it like that to maintain public order in places where people are rare. I got it cheap thanks to that.”
“By the way, what are you doing today?”
Seeing Vita serving tea as a courtesy, Carrot smiled broadly.
“Would you like to go on an expedition with us? I’ll give you a third of the request fee.”
Boris, who was sharpening his longsword nearby, opened his eyes wide.
“how much? How are you?”
“Because it’s one-third of 12 million. 4 million Leeds.”
The frigid Vita screamed.
“do! I will!”
“okay! let’s do it!”
Boris also jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Let’s use that money to build a separate stable and get away from the smell of horse manure!”
From noble mtl dot com
“that’s right! No, Belina! It’s not that I hate you! just… … ! I mean!”
Carrot, who watched Vita making a fuss, looked at the black horse in the same shed.
“If you leave it like this, sooner or later the flies will fly.”
“Oh, right! I hate Paris!”
Carrot, who smiled and looked around, said.
“It would be faster to move than to expand the warehouse here, right?”
“I’m thinking about it now. I’d rather go back to the adventurer’s dormitory,”
Kobe, who was standing with his arms crossed, trembled.
“I hate dormitories, fights, fights, thefts, ugh, it’s awful. I won’t go in again.”
“So how is it? Do you want to?”
Boris, who grabbed his longsword, rose from his seat.
“When are you leaving?”
“I’ll go tomorrow as soon as I’m ready.”
“Kuh-! We said we came yesterday!”
Boris screamed, but Carrot only laughed.
“You hate 4 million? Three automatons, including me, Crank and Ariete will go out.”
“Where are you going?”
At G.O’s question, Carrot made a meaningful expression.
“Far East, Wales Bourne Mountains. If you accept the contents of the request, you will be notified.”
G.O’s party gathered and started whispering. But the conclusion came quickly.
“I will.”
“good. Come to our workshop in the evening. Let’s talk while eating.”
Carrot stood up and slapped Tuna’s plump buttocks as she lay on Vita’s cot and snored.
slap-!
“wake up! This sleeper… … .”
Carrot, who was looking at his palm and Tuna’s butt, raised a trembling finger to Tuna, who suddenly woke up.
“Can I hit you one more time?”
“Yes?”
slap-!
“Ah, ah!”
“Ook! Did you hear?! Very sticky!”
Carrot exclaimed, as if he had made some great discovery, but Geo and Kobe lowered or turned their heads, and only Boris twitched his nose and raised his finger.
“Hey, what kind of automaton are you… … ! Don’t treat other people’s butts like that. It’s rude.”
Carrot, who was laughing heeheehi, hopped around, turned around, and pushed her butt out to Tuna.
“Then you can hit Tuna too. I’m good with this.”
As Tuna sat on the bed, rubbing her butt with a sleepy face, her eyes widened in an instant. She quickly jumped off the bed and pulled up Carrot’s skirt and pulled down her pumpkin panties.
“Heo-eok, hee-huh! Ears are cute! It’s like a real person.”
“Oh my gosh… … ! There are peaches, peaches.”
Intrigued, Vita looked over Tuna’s shoulder at Carrot’s small buttocks.
“Uhm… … ! Could you please stop for a bit? I have nowhere to look.”
“huh? You can see. It’s okay, I’m an automaton.”
“you idiot! If the shell is human, you will be treated like a human!”
Carrot, who was showing his back to Boris’ voice, widened his eyes and punched the palm of his hand.
“Ohh! I see! It sounds plausible!”
Tuna, who was looking at Carrot’s cheeks, raised her head while wiping her mouth at the flames around her.
“Oh, you didn’t eat breakfast, but you’re full?”
“me too. Whoops.”
The three men trembled as they watched Tuna and Vita smile at their stomachs.
