Carrot, who brought a large sledgehammer from the dwarf forge, is staring at him with red eyes. The hard-skinned automaton, whose eyes were in full disrepair, was now playing an announcement while watching Carrot.
And he reached out to Carrot.
Enraged, Carrot stepped on that hand, jumped up, and hit the top of the hard skin with a hammer as hard as he could.
Tteong-!
When a person’s brain is shaken, a concussion occurs. Although the automaton was also protected by a helmet made of thick armor, continuous heavy blows could damage the sensitive computing device.
“Damn it! rot! stop! Stop you bastard!”
kang! Wow! fat-!
Holding a large sledgehammer like a blacksmith and swinging his body and arms around to catch the little doll hitting its head, a dwarf mason ran in front of him and threw something that glowed silver.
“Take it!”
Carrot pretended to catch it flying. It was the gunpowder weapon, the revolver that Gustav had been shooting at the pirates in the southern seas the other day.
“Aim for the gap in the armor and pull the trigger!”
It was strange, so I kept a close eye on it, so I roughly remembered how to deal with it. However, I have small hands, so I had to hold it with both hands and pull the trigger.
“Stop, stop! You naughty doll!”
bang-!
Gunshots echo through the sky.
thud… … !
The large doll fell to its knees as if it had been hit by a magic engine from a bullet aimed at the loose chest armor plate. But Carrot didn’t stop there. I aimed for the head and pulled the trigger in succession.
Bang bang bang-! Clap clap-!
Because I was holding the pistol in both hands and tightening my arms, the recoil did not lift my arms, and the bullets entered the same spot in succession and pierced the helmet.
Whoops?!
Sparkling jewel fragments scattered from the bullet holes in his head, which had been bent back by the impact.
The controller in his head was shattered, causing the Hardskin Automaton’s pupils to lose their light and stop functioning. He was immobilized on his knees and did not move.
Carrot, who was huffing and pacing around with a pistol, stepped back and shouted quickly.
“This is not going out!”
“Give me.”
Mason quickly took the pistol and hurriedly reloaded the bullet.
Seeing that the situation had been sorted out, Crank approached.
“are you okay?”
“It’s not okay. The village is destroyed. Because of this damn cub! ”
bang-!
Tang-! puck?!
I fired another shot in anger with the returned pistol, and the bullet ricocheted. An adventurer nearby shouted in surprise when he saw a ricochet flying nearby.
“hey! men and horses! peanut! It bounces!”
The hard skin, which had stopped working completely due to the impact of the last shot, fell backwards and collapsed.
thud-!
The sad-eyed Carrot, who had been watching the gunpowder weapon in both hands until the end, suddenly changed her expression and said,
“What! sorry! Is it completely dead now? oh wow, i was bored But uncle! If you have something like this, shouldn’t you give it to me soon?!”
said the Dwarf Mason who returned the gun.
“It was a bit difficult to take out because the elderly left it to be used in case of an emergency. Awesome anyway To move even after being hit directly by a magic crystal bomb.”
“I was honestly against it because it was too expensive, but it’s nice to have a reliable means.”
Crank was caught in the explosion, his clothes torn and minor injuries everywhere, but he looked at Carrot and raised his thumb.
“The more cards you can use, the better.”

Ariete, who received first aid for a broken arm, shouted while pointing at the surroundings with an extra assault spear.
“Let’s be vigilant and rush to treat the injured and rescue from collapsed houses! there! You with an automaton! Help clear out the collapsed materials over there! Bring all the injured to the village common kitchen!”
Position and direction in the field are important. Of course, since they are all adventurers with the same personality, it may be difficult to deal with, but no one responded to the words of the female knight who confidently confronted the hard-skin automaton.
After all, they knew there had to be someone to oversee and clean up this mess.
“here! person!”
“it hurts!”
“Move the wounded!”
“are you okay! Everyone wasn’t seriously hurt!”
“portion! I don’t have enough potions!”
“We are going to fix the gate! Lazy bastards, help move materials!”
Under her command, the adventurers moved busily. Villagers who had been healed also joined in to clear away debris and move the injured.
People gathered in the yard in front of the kitchen, a temporary shelter and treatment center, looked at the collapsed house and fence caught in the explosion, and finally started to sob. Among them were some old people who fell down and prayed.
Ariete turned her head and shouted.
“If you want a miracle, do it yourself! God is in your will!”
Ariete, with her assault spear stuck in the ground, turned to the people struggling to clear the pile of rubble from the collapsed house and lifted it with one hand. When the family members below raised their heads, a blonde-haired female knight was smiling brightly.
“It is too early to despair! Don’t you have arms and legs left!? can do! wake up!”
Even though she suffered a broken arm during the battle, her undeterred actions inspired hope and courage in the hearts of many.
And those who knew more about her felt a bit bitter.
“Everything collapsed. Too bad, really.”
Since it was small and not very helpful for such things, Carrot, who was standing guard around the area, still had a sad expression as he looked at the village that had become a mess.
Krank looked at the hard-skinned automaton that had fallen beside him.
“are you okay. No matter what, you just have to stay alive. Only then will there be a future.”
“Um, so how are you?”
Crank, who was frantically examining the Hardskin Automaton, answered in a voice mixed with surprise.
“The appearance is very elegant and beautiful, doesn’t it look similar to Bomba at first glance? I guess this guy is Izelia’s thing.”
Carrot sighed mentally as he looked at the hard-skinned doll he had barely defeated, crossed his arms and spoke again.
“no. I mean, are you okay?”
Crank turned the pitch and looked at Carrot. As if he had forgotten, a voice mixed with laughter came from the helmet.
“I am still deaf. My stomach hurts a little, but other than that I’m fine, so don’t worry. Rather, take a look around the through-hole and come. If you spot an enemy soldier, don’t fight. Come and report it right away.”
“okay.”
Carrot, who confirmed the master’s safety, immediately disappeared into the darkness.
After sending Carrot away, Crank sat down on the floor and turned his head to look at the village where the rescue operation was in full swing.
Strictly speaking, not everything was broken. Is it about half a wave?
Several thoughts float in his gaze.
But priorities have been set.
Crank, now standing up, clenched his fists.
can’t be suffering
immediate retaliation.

The next morning was bright. They were people who stayed up all night repulsing unexpected attacks and picking up the wounded, but they were walking around energetically with surprisingly lively faces.
Last night, as a pseudo-enhanced human and having a head-to-head confrontation with a hard-skin automaton, Aple, the crazy heroine, was surprised while drinking blue tea with a bandaged face.
“Ooooh! strength! Power springs up! Are you going to sit like this! I will help rebuild the village too!”
“Shut up! You are a patient!”
“calm down!”
Splat!
The female magician and the priest in the party drank tea with Kata leaf infused and slapped the scarred back and shoulder of Aple, who advertised the awakening effect.
The old man, who had stolen a lump of Kata leaf from the safe of the owner’s house when fleeing the chaos, took some of it off and poured it into tea and passed it on to the weary people.
The effect is outstanding. People who have lost hope and are frustrated have risen again.
“and! I understand why drug addicts exist. So how do you feel, everyone?”
Thinking it was just tea, he gulped it down and drank it. Then, intoxicated with a strong feeling of uplift and confidence, Crank took off all his clothes and squatted while wearing only one piece of underwear.
“Hoo-wook! hook! This is more powerful than a potion of courage! I could do a thousand squats by the end of the day!”
f*ck!
Ariete’s sudden kick caused the crank to fall forward.
“Aren’t you ashamed?! It’s disgusting, so get dressed! And give me an arm! I can’t fight like this!”
Crank, who had finished a set of push-ups while falling forward, jumped up from his seat and looked back at Ariete.
“sick. Don’t keep kicking people.”
“You sneaky tin giant! What are you… … !”
Ariete, who had also drunk tea and rushed over excitedly, fired the crank, but her eyes lingered on his underwear for a moment.
Seeing the raised part of her lower leg, Ariete’s face heated up helplessly. Covering her face with both hands, she hurriedly stepped back and shouted.
“Aagh! Bah, say it right! Are you really tempting me!?”
“The devil of adultery is involved. Is that all I see in my body? suck! Look at these nice pectoral muscles, aren’t they much bigger?”
“Ah! you! you-! You insulted me!”
Ariete, unable to hold back the humiliation and bursting into tears, started beating Crank’s chest with her remaining arm.
puck puck!
After a few hits, Crank turned around and started running, leaving her alone.
“You tin giant! Stand there!”
Ariete, waving her fist, went in pursuit.
The adventurers who were watching the jokes of the two were fun, and the adventurers who were watching collapsed and were busy laughing, and even those who couldn’t understand the words couldn’t hide their surprise and curiosity at Crank’s eccentricity and his massive naked body running around the town in his underwear.
The town was a mess, but the people were somehow cheerful.
Next to the giggling Carrot, an old man who forcibly cheered up the mood of the melancholy came with his hands behind his back.
When our eyes met, the brown-skinned, white-haired old man put his hands together and greeted me with a benevolent face, and Carrot, who had folded his arms, awkwardly followed him, putting his hands together and nodding his head.
Watching them laugh and talk excitedly for a while because of the medicinal effect, the old man smiled and muttered something. Then, looking at Carrot, he said some more unintelligible words, then waved his palms together and left.
Carrot tilted his head as there was no one to interpret what he was saying, but he didn’t want to search for an answer. So I just laughed it off. And I turned my head.
The chaos seemed to be getting worse, but I decided to keep an eye on it.
It seemed better than people venting their rage and cursing the world as a group.
“Um, that’s medicine. A cold medicine for the mind, let’s think of it that way.”
