Chi profit… … !
Suddenly, the door of the transport opened and an elf woman in a nice uniform and cloak walked out.
It was Lorna who had not changed at all from six years ago.
Recognizing the giant standing with the dwarves, Lorna lightly jumped up and ran, then stood a little further away.
“crank? Are the cranks right?”
Crank, thrilled to see her alive, grabbed the pitch and put his hand down in regret.
“you’re right. This is the crank that worked as your support at Stein six years ago. I’m sorry. I can’t show you my face. I am cursed.”
Lorna came closer and held his hand with a big smile. Then he nodded.
“This hand! That’s right! It’s that crank! What a relief. It’s been a long time.”
“I’m really happy. Oh, yes. There is someone else you should meet.”
Crank turned his head and called out Carrot’s name. A small doll that was leading the people brought came running.
“why? I’m busy right now.”
Crank pointed his finger at the elf standing next to him. Carrot, who had been staring up at the elf woman’s face, brightened and jumped in front of her.
“Wow! Lorna?! Is it Lorna?! You’re alive! It was alive!”
Lorna, who had a stupid face, was frightened.
“no way? Lulu? Are you Lulu?! Kane’s support doll?!”
Kneeling, Lorna looked with trembling eyes at Carrot, who was spinning with joy. Surprise and shock spread across her face at the same time.
“How?”
All she saw was a crank covered in a bucket.
“A lot has happened in six years.”
After moving to the transport ship, they talked a lot. These were mostly stories from 6 years ago.
“I barely managed to defeat the monster, but Kane bled too much… … .”
“I saw it as I came out. thank you. Thank you for setting the body right.”
Lorna smiled lightly.
“Luckily I was able to return it to the family because there was a crest on the keepsake.”
“As expected, thank you on behalf of the owner of Jeon. Ah, then I don’t mind going to Wellmain now. Because you already know everything.”
Sitting in his chair, Carrot looked up at Crank, who was looking inside a modern ship.
“By the way, what if the Earl of Wellmain claims ownership of me?”
“You are my property, which was officially transferred under the presence of the caretaker following the death of Kane, who was a member of the Wellmain family. I can never give it back.”
“Ehehehehe!”
She smiles because she likes Carrot. Lorna, who was watching that, smiled brightly.
“Amazing. It’s amazing. It’s only been 6 years. I really became like a person. Lulu, no, Carrot.”
“What. It’s all thanks to meeting the master well.”
Looking at the crank, Lorna hesitated a little before opening her mouth.
“Six years ago, from the first time I saw it, I thought about it. I want to hug you once.”
“Free hug time!”
Carrot jumped out of her seat, approached Lorna, spread her arms and gave her a hug. Lorna, who closed her eyes and stroked her hair, recalling old memories, said with a bitter smile.
“It feels like this. Why couldn’t I hug you back then?”
“I’ve hugged you for now, so that’s okay. Wow! Elves smell so good, ha ha!”
Carrot buried her face in Lorna’s chest, and she laughed out loud.
Crank, who was immersed in similar memories while watching the two of them, glanced at Gustav and opened his mouth.
“He heard our story and came to confirm.”
“Yes, Mr. Gustav asked for your cooperation, and your name came up. I came just in case.”
“Are you done with the adventure?”
Lorna laughed bitterly. It was a face that swallowed something really bitter.
“I have lived so long that I forget my age, but the death of my friends is still overwhelming.”
“Good job.”
Gustaf, who had been patiently waiting, intervened.
“Do you have a lot more to say than that?”
Lorna, still hugging Carrot, continued.
“This incident led to an official complaint to Riznet. It will be noisy for a while. And if possible, I would like you to stay here for a while and take care of the pioneer village. until he comes.”
“He?”
“Princess Giuseppe is coming this way to investigate a cave in the mountains. It’s coming by land, so it’s going to take some time.”
“Why should I wait for him?”
“Because the princess is going to declare the settlers here as Liznet citizens? The report you sent showed great power. And if the civil war over there subsides, there is a strong possibility that this place will become a trading city in the future. Yes, there is also that through hole.”
Crank felt his head getting complicated. It was the same with inter-state interests, and he was also concerned about why the elf Rona knew about the report he had sent.
So I stopped thinking.
“Take care of the pioneer village until the princess comes, can you understand it this way?”
“that’s right. Any more questions?”
Crank shook his helmet.
“I am not interested. Isn’t there a time when not knowing is medicine?”
Lorna chuckled. Gustav, who was smiling at us, also helped.
“Wouldn’t it have been a lot more fun if there were only these people?”
Lorna just laughed but didn’t answer.

The next day, at the meeting of the village representatives (?), an explanation of the current situation and a future plan were decided.
said Gustav, arms crossed.
“Your country’s king is on a sh*tline. The investigation and punishment of those involved in human trafficking are continuing.”
Turning his head, Gustaf looked at Godive and the people who were representing the refugees.
“And you are likely to be accepted as citizens here.”
they cheered
In the meantime, the adventurers who heard that the Royal Investigation Team was coming for a field investigation decided to stay after hearing that the leader was Princess Giuseppe, the third princess.
“A princess! I’ll have to see you sometime!”
“okay!”
“If you do well, doesn’t that open the way to success?! crank!”
Crank shook his helmet.
“I don’t know if it’s about success or success. Adventurers who follow their dreams only need money.”
“Well, don’t worry about that, I’ll put pressure on you to get you a special kickback. Aren’t you the ones who saved our people as well as the people here?”
Suddenly, the adventurers looked back. Many people, including the dwarves, were looking at them. Gustaf, who was looking at them happily, exclaimed.
“This is a complicated story! If you have any questions, come to me separately. Now, what are we going to do today?”
As if he had been waiting, Crank opened his notebook and said.
“When the elves’ transport ships return, we have to build a new barrier. The following is a recommendation of crops to be used as food in the future and… … .”
Priests, including Vita, shouted.
“approximately! Emergency medicine is urgently needed! It’s different from where I used to live, so there are no herbs that these people know here.”
“Well, if that’s the case, we have experts, so we invite them.”
Carrot, who had been listening quietly, looked up at Godive.
“Look, we do as much as the forehead, what can you guys do?”
Cyphers had a lot of handsome men and women. Godiv also had distinct features and a very nice smile. To the extent that female adventurers, including Vita, blushed every time.
“We have been weaving for generations in our hometown. I’m trying to do that here too. You can make quality carpets and fabrics.”
The gathered Dwarves raised their thumbs.
“At the request of the Tin Giant, I made an automatic loom. Ten times faster than doing it with your bare hands.”
“Oooh! Doesn’t it seem like something is getting under way? All right!”
Godive smiled brightly and nodded.
When the elves’ transport ships arrived, civil engineering work began. First, the materials were assembled to create a barrier, and then a transport ship lifted it and set it on the ground.
Adventurer Aple, who threw off his top and showed off his flaky muscles, muttered as he looked up at the transport ship acting as a crane.
“How does that float?”
“I also asked, but they said it was confidential. More than that, you have a pretty good body.”
As Crank, who also threw off his top, looked at him, Aple smirked and posed. Then, without losing the crank, he stood up and showed off his muscles out of the blue.
Gustav, who was giving instructions to the transport, squealed.
“Do something! You guys!”
By the time the barrier was almost in place, Crank called Boris, Kobe, and James.
“You want me to bring Tuna?”
Crank held out a letter and said.
“We need a pharmacist who has mastered herbal medicine. Also, Mr. James has a family, but he will be worried if he stays out for too long, so coming back… … .”
“Don’t worry about that, see, I’m building a town right now. Please don’t deprive me of my lifelong drinking binge. It’s just a matter of showing your face for a while and then coming back.”
“If yes, it’s good for us.”
James laughed happily.
“Actually, I also want to see the princess, right? Isn’t that the princess who came as the head of the Bronze Gate investigation?”
“It is. It takes quite a while to get here from the capital, so maybe we can arrive together on the way.”
“Hurry up!”
Packing up, James hurried off. Crank attached Lotte as their escort. Ariete looked at the automatic wagon leaving and put on a regretful expression.
“Who’s going to be my big boss now?”
“I won’t.”
“oh! Really?”
“Let’s finish the construction before that. You go patrol around the area with Venus.”
“hmm! I get it!”
The busier the number of people moving, the more proper the town began to look. People were greatly relieved when the protective wall was completed, which was far short compared to that of the Ark City, but was good for a pioneer village.
Thanks to that, Carrot, who had a spare time, started to plow the field with a hoe because he was bored.
Pupper puck!
“Yaaa!!”
People who were watching opened their mouths. It was because there were many people who knew Carrot as an ordinary child even then.
“And put halved potatoes in it and give it water. Oh, there should be another well too?”
After finishing the potato field, Carrot, who took a shovel and a pickaxe, dug a well.
“Oohhh!”
Puff Puff Puff!
The dwarves who came out to help find the water vein and watched Carrot digging into the ground at the blinding shovel, each gave their impressions.
From noble mtl dot com
“Isn’t it like an automaton used in a mine?”
“Right.”
Carrot looked up from inside the pit of a fairly large well.
“and? Do dwarves use automatons?”
“Um, write. Guys just like you for mine development.”
“Oh oh!”
After digging into it for a long time while chatting, Carrot burst into water veins and soared into the sky riding a stream of water bursting out like a hot spring.
Fuhuaaagh!
“Oohhhhh?!”
Shoot aaa!
As cool drops of water began to pour down from the sky to cool off the hot spring sun, the carrots fell on Aple’s head as she raised her hand to see if it would suddenly rain.
Pak-!
“Hunu-wook?!”
“Hogok?!”
With a strange scream, the two fell down, and from the clear dry sky, rain fell and a rainbow spread at the same time. It was a rare sight for those who came from the desert, so everyone stopped and watched the rainbow over the pioneer village.
Through that rainbow, an adventurer with a bump on his head grabbed the little doll that was constantly giggling and screamed.
“Yumma! you!”
“Wah ha ha! rainbow! It’s a rainbow! They say there’s a hidden treasure at that end!”
I couldn’t understand the words yet, but it looked so funny that everyone turned their heads and giggled.
