A few hours later, when dawn broke, Carrot set up a large pot near the tent, boiled water, and started brewing coffee.
“Ugh…! This is the famous…”
“Argon’s carrot is… They said they make morning coffee, so it’s true…”
“cup! Grab your cup and line up! I will serve a cup of hot coffee to the warriors who greeted the morning today!”
People were very impressed by the small automaton that climbed on a large stone and scooped coffee with a ladle and poured it into a cup.
Harrison, who came out of the tent with messy hair, came to see people in groups of twos and threes drinking coffee and huffing.
Mori, who had come first and drank coffee from a large tin cup, was impressed.
“How do you do that hair?”
“…that’s something you don’t want to hear from a bald head.”
“I don’t know why the women around me are so strong!”
Harrison turned his head and smiled at Carrot.
“Compassionate guy, give it to me too.”
“Cup, please.”
“No. Give me the ladle.”
Taking the ladle from Carrot, Harrison dipped it into the pot and gulped down. Morrie frowned and turned his head away, but the others just laughed and said nothing.
“Kuhuhhh! My stomach is full! But the coffee tastes bad. The incense is a bit dead.”
“There is nothing special about us. Here you go. Take it and eat it.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Um, thank you.”
Somewhere they found a cup and filled it with coffee, and Harrison took it and went back to the tent.
A cup of hot tea, nothing special, energized everyone. People then ate, tidied up, and hurriedly set off.
“The Trogen Expedition is scheduled to meet locally, so we need to arrive on the designated date if possible. So let’s have fun running today! depart!”
“depart!”
Automatic wagons lined up and set off.
The automated wagons finally arrived at their destination after two days of driving in a place called a wasteland where wide meadows and forests were infested with man-eating monsters.
The lead was James’ car, but the ghetto he was riding with looked out the window and muttered.
“I see an automatic carriage over there. Did the trogen arrive first?”
The ghetto jumped out of the door before the carriage could stop and strode forward. In the meantime, rear vehicles arrived one after another.
“hey! Are you the Trogen Expedition?!”
“Who?!”
A guard shouted at the place where the wall was built with an automatic carriage and the base camp was set up.
“Who is who! Argon, Trail, and Maine Coon Expedition!”
“oh! I hope you’re here early! We just arrived.”
A few people come out and talk with the ghetto, but the expression on the ghetto’s face is not unusual. he asked outright.
“Is this the only group? Did you go up first?”
“…Well, I was going to wait, but the young people were using the torch.”
“You went up first! When did you go!”
“Uh, I went up at noon yesterday…”
“yesternoon?!”
The ghetto turned around. Harrison grinned when Ghetto, who found the leader of the expedition through the crowd of people getting out of the vehicle, reported the situation.
“I expected that much. Didn’t you say you had to climb the mountain road for three hours?”
“yes.”
“It bothers me that there is still no news from the friends who went up yesterday at noon. Leo!”
“yes! boss!”
Harrison called out quickly as another young man with short blond hair turned his head.
“The support class is here to set up a base camp! The rest of the combat and search teams climb the mountain right away! Meals are solved on the go with dry food!”
The expedition began to move as planned in advance.
“We are ready to depart!”
Harrison, who was chewing beef jerky, saw Morrie, the leader of the Maine Coon Expedition.
“We are the first advance team. let’s go.”
“Okay.”
With the ghetto and crank party at the forefront, we started climbing the mountain trail. Carrot was running in the front.
“hahahahaha! Let’s go rob a dragon rare! Warriors!”
“Then I will wait here.”
Jiaren waved her hand and saw everyone off. Looking back at the base camp being built, she clapped her hands and said.
“Mummy, Mommy, Momo.”
As the hard-skinned automaton with a stern look that didn’t match the cute name at all approached with its cape flying, she said with a smile.
“Please scout around the base camp. If there are any monsters, clean them up.”
“All right.”
“We’re going out.”
“Operation begins.”
Sureureung!
thump thump!
The automatons drew their swords and ran in different directions, making a heavy sound. At that time, people from the Trogen Expedition approached from nearby.
“excuse me.”
“yes.”
“I heard that there is an adventurer’s automaton dispatched from our city.”
After staring at the adventurers of the Trogen Expedition for a while, Jiaren smiled and turned around.
“Wait here. I’ll bring you.”
As if taking a leisurely walk, Jiaren walked over to the people who were helping to set up the base camp and found the green.
Just in time, he bumped into Green, who was moving materials, and after saying a few words to Green, Jiaren pointed at the waiting adventurer.
Trogen’s adventurers looked curious as they saw the blond automaton approaching.
“Is that Jetson’s automaton? Is it very different from what you’ve heard? I even dressed up in battle clothes.”
“You’ve done quite a bit. Judging by the heat-resistant wig, it must have changed the magic stone to a red one too?”
“Is that a mask on your face? I don’t know who has seen it, but I really like your aesthetic taste?”
Before long, Automaton Green bowed to them.
“Nice to meet you. Have you seen our master? My name is Jetson.”
The men who were looking at each other wrapped Green’s shoulder and said as they moved.
“Sorry. Your master…”
“Your master sold you to the guild.”
“Is that so?
“okay. I’ll take you to the guild after the expedition.”
Looking at the green walking with them from afar, the expedition members who were with them for a while licked their lips.
“I don’t know what it is, but it feels dirty because I feel like I’ve been taken away.”
“so do i. Eight! This is why you shouldn’t stick to automatons!”
“It’s because of the crank! It’s like this because I made it so pretty!”
“okay! It’s all because of that bucket of perverted muscles!”
“You guys! Stop talking nonsense and set up the tent quickly!”
The men huffed and cursed at the crank, then hurried to set up the camp at the support leader’s torch.
Jia Ren, who was standing nearby with his hands behind his back and looking at him, smiled and turned his head.
“What shall I do?”
said Green, who came to Trogen’s base camp. The man next to him touched the blond hair and said.
“This is a classic mix of human hair with radiation yarn. That’s rare these days. Something awesome?”
Said the man who was sitting on a bucket of water and quietly looking up and down the green.
“This guy is now an automaton without an owner and has a lot of high-end parts attached to it.
Greed began to stain the faces of the men.
“Then how will they know if I trade this blonde for my automaton?”
“That mask is really well made. It’s my taste.”
“I want to exchange the magic stone for my automaton.”
someone said to Green.
“Get up on the workbench over there and lie down. And turn it off.”
Green’s head, who was listening to the story, tilted to the side.
“I don’t like it. Are you guys going to take my parts off?”
“what?”
“what?”
People were taken aback by the unexpected question.
“Stop talking nonsense and do as you say!”
A man grabbed Green’s blonde hair. At that moment, Green’s arm moved bizarrely and twisted the wrist of the man who was holding his hair.
“Quaaagh!!”
When the automaton launched an active counterattack against humans, the adventurers were taken aback.
“What, what!? Call the automaton!”
“Bane!”
“theory!”
The automaton standing near the tent came running. When Green raises his head, the glass beads responsible for the eyes inside the mask turn red.
“Come any closer and I will rip off this man’s arm. Don’t move, automaton.”
gigg!
Flutter!
The automatons stopped and looked at their masters. People were perplexed. The automaton is threatening you!?
“No crazy! What’s happening! I can’t stop!”
“The Argonians broke the automaton!”
“Pa, let go of your arms! doll! Let go of this! You are broken!”
Green lowered his head and looked down at the man who was holding his arm and bent over.
“I am not broken. The third of the 3 principles of automatons, automatons must protect themselves. I am currently running You are trying to ruin me.”
“Your actions are against the first of the 3 principles!”
“aaa!!!!”
said Green, raising his arm further.
“Automatons must not harm humans. Automatons must obey human commands. In fact, these items are open to interpretation. When I was in the military, I also killed many people from enemy countries. Because the people of the enemy country are not people who fall under the three principles.”
Green’s next whisper made the blood drain from people’s faces.
“And I was also involved in the pursuit of armed deserters. At the time, the position officer emphasized that even if you are an ally, as long as you do not kill them, you do not violate the first three principles.”
“aaa!!!!”
“Bane! theory! It’s an order! attack! Take down that crazy automaton!”
As the two automatons slithered, Green spoke lowly.
“Automatons must not harm humans. Your actions create results. If you get any closer, I’ll rip off your arm. This result is entirely due to your actions.”
In a clash of logic, the two automatons, Bane and Ron, looked at their masters again.
“We cannot move.”
“Please correct the flaws in your current logic.”
The men felt their heads hurting now. Finally, an impatient adventurer pulled out his sword.
“Anyway, stupid things! If you want to do it, do it. What are you talking about!”
As the knife flew, he pushed the man he was holding onto and raised his arm.
Kkang-!
Automaton Green’s cute mask peeked out from under the blade that was blocked by the steel plate on his arm.
“This combat uniform was made by the Argon Women’s Society. Were you trying to take this away too?”
When the hostages were freed, everyone drew their weapons, and their automatons stepped forward.
“Oh my! Are you killing a pig to treat us?”
Not only the automaton, but also the men who were setting up the tent all came and lined up to the left and right of Jiaren.
“What is the situation now? green?”
“I refused because they were trying to rip my parts off.”
A frowning man shouted, pointing at them with the hammer he was holding.
“I hated hearing the saying that adventurers are no different from scoundrels, but what you guys are doing right now is just like that!”
“what! You tried to dismantle our green?!”
“You tried to disassemble and extort the parts?!”
“what! It’s stealing!”
The adventurers of the Trogen Nuclear Plant, not listening to the accusation of the Trail Expedition, shouted.
“It’s stealing! Be careful with your words! It’s an automaton belonging to a guild anyway! You guys don’t care!”
“okay! go back! Stop meddling in other people’s chores and get out of here!”
It was an immediate situation, but the difference in power was great.
thump thump-!
A hard-skinned automaton covered in blood is approaching and examining the situation.
Jiaren waved her hand and called out to Green.
“come here.”
“yes. Did you call?”
Green, who did not hesitate to make hostile remarks to humans just now, walked towards Jiaren.
“Everyone, I am Jiaren Luo, the leader of the Trail Expedition.”
The blood drained from the faces of the men confronting them.
“You guys tried to steal parts from the automaton we repaired as a favor. I just can’t get past this. I’ll report this to your guild leader and negotiate. So be prepared to be heard.”
