Everyone who left the guild was going to eat lunch, but the crank was missing.
“I want to go, but I have a lot of work to do right now. The green has to be finished.”
“We are also making battle suits right now.”
“okay. Let’s have a party at my house after the expedition.”
Ghetto said with a laugh. Crank promised to attend at that time and returned to the workshop.
Around evening, the completed wig came into Carrot’s hands. Crank, who had been adding a mask to Green’s face, put on a wig and finally got it all done.
Crank took a few steps back and inspected the automaton sitting on the workbench.
“Hmm, that’s pretty good enough.”
“Oh oh! Like a doll! Dress up done right!”
“Dress up?”
When Green turned his head, Carrot liked it.
“It’s about decorating the exterior to look good. There’s a full-length mirror over there.”
In the mirror stood an automaton with large-eyed masks and long, gaudy blonde hair. Green was fascinated and did not move, examining himself.
Carrot looked back at the crank.
“Who made that mask? You made it really well.”
“I.”
“huh?”
“I made it by cutting and grinding. I made about 10 of them and left the best ones.”
From noble mtl dot com
“and! cool crank! After all, my master!”
Krank, who was wearing a leather apron and crossed his arms with thick arms, shrugged his shoulders a bit to express his confidence.
“It feels good to like you.”
“thank you. Meister Crank.”
As Green turned his head, Fluid’s gorgeous blonde hair, which had been planted with radiant yarn and added weight, fluttered.
“The cost of your body will be paid by your guild. And it seems that the guild intends to take you as an automaton belonging to the guild instead of charging your owner for repairs. That would be better for you.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, you became quite famous this time? The more well-known adventurers or automatons, the bigger the guild’s position. Make a lot of achievements and become more famous. Then there will be fewer people who will treat you carelessly just because you are an automaton. Like our carrots.”
“Ahem! No one touches me in Argon!”
Crank looked down at Carrot and continued.
“And most importantly, your hair was provided by a woman named Fluid who works in Argon. Automaton Green has become so popular that he wants people to look up to him.”
Green, who was carefully touching his hair, asked back.
“If I become famous, will Fluid, who provided this hair, become famous too?”
“yes. Just as Carrot became famous and my name spread as well.”
“Ahem!”
Looking down at the little automaton with a small fist on its narrow waist and its nose up, Green got down from the workbench and stood on the floor.
Then I looked at Crank and Carrot.
“If I become famous, your name will spread as well.”
said Carrot.
“Okay, let’s put some effort into making our crank famous.”
“No, I don’t want to be that famous…”
Green nodded.
“All right. I have a mission for the time being. To be famous, to make known the names of Fluid, Crank and Carrot.”
“hmm! good!”
Crank shook his head, but Carrot liked it.
While stepping on the sunset that permeated the city and heading to the inn to help the women’s society make combat uniforms, Green noticed someone following him and turned his head.
“Why?”
Green said to Carrot’s question.
“There is a tracker.”
“They are cute trackers. Hurray! You snot!”
The neighborhood children who had been following them after discovering a rare blonde automaton nearby immediately flocked to Green and Carrot.
“Carrot! Who is this automaton?”
“Pretty···. It’s like a doll princess.”
Green, who especially caught the attention of the girls, tilted her head looking down at the children.
“It could be. I don’t even have soft skin like Carrot.”
The girls shook their heads vigorously and raised their hands. Carrot laughed.
“hug me. Children of that age love to be held.”
Green said as he bent down and embraced the girl.
“It’s just a bad memory for a young human, but it’s a strange feeling right now.”
“Because you are clean now. Humans are very simple. Have you ever heard of the broken windows theory?”
Carrot took candy out of her pocket and laughed as she put it in each child’s mouth.
“And I educated most of the kids here? With candy and whips and sophistry. That’s why there are no kids who throw stones at the automaton. Right, kids?”
“yes! sure! Miss Carrot!”
While waving to the children and walking down the street, people’s eyes were stinging.
“hey! Carrot! Who is the automaton behind? Are you pretty?”
“Your taste is unique! Didn’t you stop playing with dolls when you were little?”
“Yumma!”
“ha ha ha! it’s green! Participating in this Dragon Rare Expedition!”
The men gathered there whispered.
“That automaton?! Is it crank skill?! Awesome, isn’t it?”
“You’d faint if you knew how much money was involved?!”
Green asked as he looked at the men waving away after exchanging some more curse words.
“You have great social skills. I think we are friends.”
“Green, remember. We are automatons after all. To be honest, being friends with a human is unreasonable. Would the creator be friends with the creature? But look at the outside. The guild signboard automaton is walking around. Wouldn’t you like to pretend you know it? That’s how your reputation goes up. I mean! I’m close with that Carrot! It’s like that.”
Green nodded quietly.
“Human relationships should be thin and wide. Even if you die and wake up, you don’t know that person’s heart.”
“yes.”
Even at the women’s club, which was producing combat uniforms, they were amazed by Green’s appearance.
“Does blonde really suit you? whose head is it?”
“It will be fluid.”
“Ah, it seems that the blond girl was eventually cut and sold, anyway, it suits her very well. It’s like a walking doll.”
“Ew! You are a doll.”
“Oh is that so?”
The women laugh.
“Green, please tell me the name of our fluid when you become famous.”
“yes. ma’am.”
“And the combat uniforms we made.”
Maria held up the almost finished combat uniform. It was roughly leather pants and jackets reinforced with metal armor plates and leather padding.
“Try on. I’ll fit your body. Lena too,”
The automaton and the reinforced human stood up in the midst of the women, wearing the same combat uniforms and turning their bodies around.
“Adam this.”
“huh?”
When Adam, busy with sewing, looked up, a leather pouch was thrown in front of him. Let’s take it with one hand, Carrot said.
“It’s a stamina restorer. Give it a try.”
“thank you.”
Carrot gave a thumbs up.
“I asked him to tell me to try feeding him and let me know the result. I’m also curious about the crank.”
“hmm.”
Four days later, about 60 Dragon Rare Expeditions and 20 automatons from Maine Coon and Trail entered the Argon Ark city.
“It’s gorgeous. It’s like the position of the improvement army.”
The faces of the people who came to see the procession of automatic carriages coming in from the gate were bright. This is because the Ark City, Maine Coon and Trail are intimately related in many ways, from argon and trade. It is also the closest city, and relations with the lords are good.
“wow! hard skin! There’s an automaton with a hard skin!”
Armed automatons are walking in a line as if protecting a procession of automatons. Among them, those who stood at the forefront were wearing thick armor with various cloaks, like heavily armored knights.
Carrot, who rode Crank’s wooden horse, looked at them with his mouth open.
“and! oh my god! Hard skin automatons like this! Teens out of 20 have hard skin!”
“It’s at the level of a show of force to bring so many troops to a dragon rare expedition.”
“It must be for show off.”
Ghetto, who was watching from the side, nodded and continued.
“Crank, let’s go. We have to wait at the guild. There is a meeting with the expedition leaders soon.”
“yes.”
Crank, who choked Carrot, walked straight to the front of the guild. The waiting party greets them.
“Wow, Carrot looks so good on her.”
“The view here is great! Crank was always like this.”
Molly said with a laugh.
“It’s refreshing to be an automaton riding the master on a horse.”
Carrot and Crank looked down and up at each other and giggled.
“Would you like to come up and see Molly?”
“I’m done.”
“Then I will give you a ride. I want to be crushed by your ass once again…! I’m sorry!”
Jigsaw Jigsaw! Looking at the toast that had been electrocuted, Carrot said.
“Molly, toast is on purpose.”
“I know. You psychopath! Do you really want to talk nonsense like that?”
“Kuuu… There are situations that a man cannot let go of.”
Molly looked dizzy at Toast as she stumbled to her feet.
Everyone went into the guild and waited for the torch in the ghetto. The Argon Expedition members who will participate in this expedition have already gathered there.
“wow! There’s a hard-skinned automaton here too!”
Carrot shouted as soon as she entered the guild lobby. Two hardskin automatons, similar to the ones we saw earlier, stand in the middle of the crowd and turn their heads.
“noisy. You little peanut-like automaton.”
“peanut?!”
Everyone, including Crank, either grinned or suppressed his laughter. A red-haired woman broke through the crowd and walked in front of Carrot, looking down at Carrot.
Carrot was amazed.
“Oh my God! Harrison! Harrison is right in front of me! Argon Guild’s greatest adventurer!”
Harrison frowned, then looked up at the crank.
“What do you do to the automaton to make it like this?”
“Harrison is here.”
“okay. Hey. These days, I haven’t seen much of the remnants of the Demon King’s army, so I was free, but I came to see if there was some wind. hey! peanut! Make a cup of tea.”
“What an honor! I’ll prepare it right away!”
When Carrot ran to the guild’s tea room, Harrison, who was watching him with his arms crossed, opened his mouth.
“I want to hear a little bit about the expedition leaders from other cities before they come, but let’s start with a quick and simple introduction.”
“I will tell you.”
Harrison turns his head as the ghetto steps forward.
“What is this bald head?”
“Isn’t that a nice bald head?”
As Toast intervened, the people gathered in the lobby giggled as if they could not hold back their laughter. Harrison also smiled and said.
“The party is lively. You must be a pretty decent person, or you’re just a hunk.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Molly.”
Jigsaw Jigsaw! “Kiyakhou!”
