The toast collapsed with a grotesque scream and the ghetto began to explain. First, the introduction of the party members, and the battle with the orcs, the status of the dragon rare, etc.
Harrison, who was sitting in a chair and listening to the story while drinking the tea Carot politely brought, nodded.
“Nothing’s wrong. They were pushed back by the orcs and couldn’t search, so they rushed back after rescuing the children.”
“To summarize.”
Harrison introduced, pointing behind him.
“These are the adventurers who were recruited this time. They’re all kids hanging out. Including you, we are with the Argon Guild Expedition. Unfortunately, I am the expedition leader. Do you know my name?”
“yes! Mrs. Harrison.”
“okay. Tea still tastes good, Peanut.”
“thank you!”
Harrison, who was looking around, asked.
“I was introduced to Lena, but who is Green?”
“Did you call me?”
An automaton with long blond hair and a battle uniform with iron plates attached to a leather outfit pokes its head out of the bathroom. Green, whose maintenance had been completed, had been waiting at the guild building since the day before, according to the instructions of the guild leader.
Seeing Green’s appearance, everyone started whispering. Harrison rose from his seat and put a hand on his hip.
“Isn’t that the guy you’ve been hanging around with since before? Somehow I thought it looked unusual. Now that I look at it, it’s just a crank skill.”
Crank didn’t answer. He just touched his arm and shoulder a little, as if he was a little tired. Harrison grinned, probably liking the confident look.
According to etiquette, the Maine Coon and Trail expedition, which came after greeting the lord, moved to the accommodation prepared by the Argon Guild and took a break, and the expedition leader and executive level members were guided to the guild building and had a meeting.
“This is Maury White, the leader of the Maine Coon Expedition.”
It was the horse of a bald, crank-sized man. On the other hand, the slender woman introduced herself as the leader of the trail.
“This is Jiaren Luo.”
In front of the Giraseong-like people gathered in the Argon Guild parlor, Ghetto explained the events of the dragon rare search as concisely as possible.

“I read the story as a report. I guess I’ll have to go there myself. But who were the automatons and reinforced humans that were active at the time?”
The little automaton lifted her skirt slightly and greeted her.
“It’s Carrot.”
The automaton with gorgeous blonde hair bowed its head.
“It is green.”
A woman wearing a combat uniform shaped like a blond automaton bowed her head.
“Le, this is Lena.”
Jia Ren liked it as he put his hands together.
“Oh my, they are all pretty. My eyes are happy.”
“Hey, what are you doing because automatons are pretty?”
“Didn’t the bald man play with dolls when he was little?”
“I played with a wooden knife.”
The head of the Argon guild intervened.
“We decided to divide the items from Dragon Rare equally between the four cities, but I have one thing to tell you.”
The two turned their heads and listened to the guild leader’s words, dyeing their hair red or covering their mouths with both hands.
“A portal gate?”
“It is a possibility anyway. You’ll have to experiment to see if it works when moved. And as much as this stuff is impossible to monopolize. Everyone should know, everyone should share, everyone should agree. That’s what makes it valuable.”
“Good! The expedition is worthwhile!”
Jiaren turned her head and looked at Carrot, Green, and Lena.
“This is unimaginable. I just came here out of curiosity. Our guild leader will like it.”
The next day, after a day’s rest, the expedition departed.
“Come back safely!”
“Go with caution!”
From early morning, people come out and wave their hands. Carrot, who was sitting on the roof of James’ wagon, smiled ahahahaha and waved.
“Why do people come out like this to greet you?”
“Isn’t the guild or the lord using a hand? Because boosting morale is surprisingly important.”
Everyone nodded their heads at the words of Toast, who was sitting and touching the automatic crossbow.
Crank looked at Lena, who was sitting across from him.
“How are you feeling? Lena.”
“Ah, yes. great. Thank you for the potion you sent.”
“Certainly, using potions has greatly increased the speed of recovery.”
Crank nodded and pulled out a note from his bag.
“Actually, it is not a potion. It is more like a health food that can be made with items sold at the market. But I’m glad it works. Here’s how to make it. Hope this helps.”
“Ah, I really appreciate each and every one of them.”
When Adam and Lena didn’t know what to do, Crank’s eyes smiled between pitches.
“I want to be friendly with the enhanced human party.”
And Crank handed out a glass bottle to everyone in the car.
“It is a real health potion. Drinking it restores stamina. I bought it through a witch I know.”
“witch!”
Molly’s eyes widened.
“Is there a witch in Argon?”
“I live far away in the woods. I cannot tell you where it is for you.”
“Yes, that witch is dangerous.”
These were the words of Carrot, who had entered the room. Rarely, Carrot hardened his face and said one more time.
“Never get involved with witches.”
I wanted to ask why, but Carrot and Crank didn’t want to talk about witches anymore. So Molly stuck out her lower lip.
There was no attack by monsters, as they were armed with a large number of 120 or so people. Even if there were, the lead group handled them all.
“Shoot!”
Tubabababababa!
Arrows shot out like rain from the four-piece automatic crossbow pierced the body of the giant scorpion. At the same time, reinforced human Lena and automaton Green ran left and right and cut off all of the scorpion’s legs, and Carrot, who jumped up, cut off the stinger.
“Queeeg Sheck! Shack!”
As the scorpion struggled to the ground, its stinger and its legs severed, a hard-skinned automaton watching nearby threw a spear through the scorpion’s head.
“Wow, the cape is nice.”
“no! Let’s see the monsters we caught! What’s interesting about hard-skin automatons?”
No matter what Toast said, Yuri, Rimo, and even Adam fluttered their capes and looked at the heavy armored knight standing next to his master.
“By the way, are they both wearing cloaks? Isn’t it just cool?”
“That’s a heat shield. You wear it to cool off.”
Everyone focused on his bald head at the words of the military experienced ghetto. Ghetto, who was happily watching the enhanced humans and automatons walking behind the fallen scorpion, looked back.
“It’s a role similar to that of an automaton’s wig.”
“you’re right. It doesn’t tear well and is very expensive. If you can’t put that on, the magic stone is limited to blue. This is an essential item to use the Mana Stone Red.”
At Crank’s explanation, everyone said oh oh oh! and nodded.
said Harrison, who was standing on the roof of the carriage with his arms crossed.
“Not bad.”
“Captain, what should we do with that?”
Harrison said after seeing the stalled wagon and the sun sinking over Seosan.
“Today we camp here! And that scorpion is tonight! Get ready to cook!”
Half freaked out, half cheered.
“Eat the King Scorpion!?”
“Tonight’s dinner is a scorpion!”
Director Mori was frightened when he saw the scorpion leg that came up for dinner, and Harrison and Jiaren laughed at it.
“I picked it up and ate it because the demon kings were grilling and eating it. Are you okay?”
“After hearing that it was a delicacy, I wanted to try it at least once. hmm! It tastes like chicken!”
“Go away! You savages!”
The King Scorpion left an impression on everyone.
Although there were automatons, humans still set up vigils.
“Ugh…! It’s cracked!”
“Sleep then. Because we will protect it.”
An adventurer sitting on top of a wagon saw Carrot appearing from the darkness and waved.
“I’d like to, but it’s an order. We’re a paramilitary group right now? I can’t just leave it to the automatons just because it’s comfortable.”
“oh! Did you come from the army?”
“okay. Are you a patrol?”
“It is similar. Would you like some candy to wake me up?”
“Oh, throw it.”
When Carrot threw the candy, the man fell asleep and looked like he was going to die, but he simply grabbed it and put it in his mouth.
“Then, have a good time at work.”
“hmm.”
A round wall of automatic wagons was built to enclose the tent, and an automaton was placed outside it to set a boundary. Carrot was taking a walk at night, claiming to be on patrol because there was no designated place.
“Hurray! What are you doing?”
The hard-skinned automaton, which had solemnly turned its back to the carriage and gazed at the night sky on the horizon, turned its head. A red light appeared inside the heavy helmet.
“Nothing above the boundary.”
“and! It’s a man’s voice! Does your voice change if you put on a hard skin?”
“It is the original voice. Are you Carrot?”
“and! The hardskin automatons know my name!”
A small automaton girl and a large automaton knight looked up at the night sky side by side and talked.
“I heard about you guys before leaving.”
“okay. What’s your name? Where are you from?”
“I am Echo, and my owner belongs to the Maine Coon Guild.”
“Oh my! Are hard-skin automatons privately owned? Do you think the owner has a lot of money?”
“It is a long-term installment. I haven’t been released in a while.”
“I see. You are still a baby.”
“How old is your aircraft?”
Carrot, who was counting her fingers, said.
“It’s been about 10 years.”
“Is that a lot?”
“Well, that’s a bit of a stretch to say, since we’re usually the ones who get abused by our masters’ ignorance, crowds, and recklessness. If the replacement of consumables is not done in time, it will not work for a long time.”
“is it.”
“Yes, are you on good terms with the owner?”
“I don’t know, but they seem to be pampering.”
“A hard-skinned automaton built for full combat is generally well treated.”
“is it?”
“then! It’s a world away from a little pet automaton like me. When I’m abandoned, I’m small and have nothing to do but be a useless porter.”
“The daytime battle was impressive.”
“It’s thanks to meeting the talented master! Now I am no longer a pet.”
Carrot, who had finished speaking, walked back and forth to the automaton and looked back.
“yes. This older sister will give you some advice.”
“What?”
“I talk a lot with the people around me, including the owner. They will empathize with you. It will help you.”
“I get it. Note it.”
Carrot met all the automatons of the expedition and went around talking and listening to them.
At the same time and in a different place, the owner, Crank, did a similar job, and he went around looking at all the automatons of the expedition to see if there were any problems with consumables and operation.
And the two finally found each other in the dark.
that familiar shadow. That familiar gait.
“You’re the owner after all, what are you doing?”
“Check the state of the automatons, are you on patrol?”
Carrot laughed Betsy.
“What’s wrong, are the kids okay?”
Crank nodded.
“Yeah, I guess it was because it was an official expedition, so everyone is in good condition. I need to get some sleep now.”
“Okay, go ahead and go to sleep.”
Carrot muttered lowly as he watched Crank enter the tent inside the wagon.
Crank, live long.
