The long-awaited princess arrived, and when the work in the village was roughly finished, the adventurers began to return to the base city.
“Because it can’t be forever.”
Their party is grinning, with Aple at the head.
“I will miss you. Lion King, Aple!”
“Ohh, that’s a nice nickname! It suits me perfectly.”
Aple, who clenched her fists powerfully, opened her eyes wide and looked down at Carrot. But the other team members shook their heads.
“I think he said to tidy up his beard and hair.”
Carrot laughs heehee as he sees the Lion King starting to look around in the hand mirror he received.
Crank, who was watching, stepped out.
“If you trim it a little, it will look good. Do you have a minute?”
Having seated Aple on the trunk of a nearby tree, Crank immediately took out a pair of scissors and ignited his artistic spirit to trim his hair and beard.
“oh!”
“and! Fit well. Would it be okay to say that he is the real Lion King?”
“What can’t you do?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I never got married.”
Carrot, arms crossed, fired, but Crank ignored it. Everyone giggled a bit, like a mother worried about her unmarried son.
“But Mr. Crank wouldn’t be out of luck, would he?”
Wizard Poppet glanced at the blonde-haired knight and the apothecary as they approached to say goodbye.
Carrot, who narrowed her eyes, asked quickly before the two came closer.
“If you had to choose one of the two as a bride for the Tin Giant?”
“Carrot.”
Crank gave a low warning, but Aple’s party members had already started flirting.
“Woman knight.”
“Chemist.”
“Chemist.”
“Woman knight.”
half came out Around this time Ariete and Tuna arrived.
“What are you talking about?”
“no. You will miss it. Ariete!”
“Thanks to Tuna-sensei, I learned a lot about medicinal herbs that I didn’t know about. thank you!”
“Oh, yes. hehehehe.”
She was quite tall when she straightened her back, and her mature image stood out when she wore glasses, so younger boys and girls followed Tuna surprisingly well.
In the midst of this, Tuna laughs while groping the buttocks of the clergyman who is being hugged.
While they were saying goodbye, everyone looked at Aple sideways.
But as if he wasn’t interested in that, Aple reached out to Crank, who trimmed his hair and beard.
“The hair color is blonde, so if it is long, it looks like a lion. thank you I will never forget the adventure with you guys. If you have a chance to come to Deucalion, please drop by the guild. I’ll buy you a beer.”
After shaking hands with Crank with a thick hand, Aple now held Godive’s hand.
I said goodbye to the villagers yesterday, and since the adventurers didn’t want me to come out unnecessarily even though I was busy, only Godive and a few other villagers came out to see me off.
Those who shook each other’s hands got into James’ waiting wagon and set off for the Ark City, Wellmain.
“bye!”
Carrot waved her hand. Ariete, who was watching with her arms crossed, said.
“Everyone said they came all the way here on foot because they were searching through the woods. Thanks to you, Deputy Director James is busy today.”
“It’s all up to the conductor, so I’m making pocket money in this gap.”
“Well, the princess also wrote a recommendation letter for bonus payments to adventurers who worked hard, so can we prepare a means of transportation like that? Is it very expensive?”
Ariete turned her head. Crank, who met her eyes for a moment, shook his helmet.
Nearby, Carrot was smiling like a cat, but Crank ignored him.
“Let’s think about it after settling it. More than that, is the factory running well?”
At Crank’s question, Godive and the young people who came out together gave a big smile.
Carrot said with a thumbs up.
“As expected, the power of the royal family is different. Ingredients arrived in one day! I’m in the middle of picking fabric right now!”
Crank headed to the building where the automatic loom was installed.
As the kind giant in a tin helmet and his companions strolled through the village, passing girls with baskets on their waists nodded in greeting. Crank then joined his hands together and followed their greeting.
Not only was it not enough to make the hut-level shelter into a great village while staying for a short time, but because they protected them from raids and gave them various help necessary for life, among many adventurers, the cranks were treated like heroes who saved the village.
First of all, there was something peculiar about the appearance.
Of course, the reason he did this was because he had received expensive chunks of kata leaves before compassion.
Drooling! good! Drooling! good!
Inside the building, about 10 automatic looms are installed side by side, and young girls are sitting on chairs in front of them and moving their hands quickly.
Originally, I didn’t plan to make this many because I didn’t have enough materials, but it was possible because I picked up parts from two raiding automatons and put them to good use.
good! Drooling! good!
As the machine moved, the threads were tightly connected to each other, and the finished fabric was rolled over and wrapped around a wooden rod.
In the meantime, a man is diligently going back and forth between the equipment.
“The first loom is done! Change the fabric and replenish the thread!”
It was Gran, an internal collaborator who was busy being called here and there.
Gran, who arrived two days ago, burst into tears again in front of the villagers. Fortunately, he was easily forgiven for the character he showed when he was in captivity, which Gustav defined as follows.
“Forgiveness is done between people.”
Ariete nodded, but when Carrot heard it, she put on a disapproving expression.
“Ho-ho-ho, forgiveness is between people. Yes, that’s right.”
Anyway, that’s why Gran was busy working as a worker in the youth club of Venus, a pioneer town in the Far East.
“Broken 3 times!”
“what?!”
When the automatic loom stopped, the crank stepped in and began repairing it. Fortunately, it wasn’t a major breakdown, so the loom started moving again.
Gran, who was talking with the young men, approached.
“Mr. Crank, we need more looms. There are a lot of people to do, but little equipment. And there are quite a few people who want a smaller loom that they can use at home. Also, I want to supply the first fabric soon, so can I leave it to the store the princess arranged for?”
Krank, who had been taking notes in his notebook while crouching down, answered while writing.
“Let’s send the delivery of finished cotton products together when supplies are delivered from the top. Also, if the Dwarf or Saiga comes tomorrow, I will ask for additional loom expansion and production. From now on you.”
chin!
Crank stretched out and held the notebook he had written down on his chest. Gran was embarrassed, but soon changed her expression and accepted the notebook.
Carrot, with her hands behind her back, smiled and tilted her head.
“Gran, is it worth it?”
“Can’t you see? busy.”
Gran, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, looked down at Carrot. Carrot made an expression other than a bright face. The girl with drooping eyebrows is smiling apologetically.
“Dude, I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise.”
“Are you saying that yet? Don’t worry, I never broke it in the first place. i want to live here Cypher women are very beautiful.”
“Oh oh! You are a man after all!”
Looking at Carrot’s brightened face, Gran grinned for the first time.
When James’ wagon arrived, which carried all the last remaining adventurers away, the cranks were also ready to leave.
“Can we really have this?”
Crank said while looking at the disassembled remains of the automaton strewn about in the corner of the warehouse.
Godive nodded.
“Yes, and what’s left is not something we can use anymore.”
“There is no place to thank you for this.”
Crank was overjoyed and collected the wreckage of two automatons. Most of the internal parts went into loom construction, but most of the outer armor plates and frames remained intact.
“What else are you going to make with this?”
Ariete approached with a flushed face. Crank, who was packing the remaining parts, turned to her and gave her a thumbs up.
“Let’s completely remake your outer armament.”
“Ohhh!”
Ariete, who still had her broken arm bandaged, was very pleased. While everyone was packing their things, Tuna, who was confined to the lab, puffed out her cheeks.
“Eh, now, it’s barely taking shape.”
The shelves that filled the walls of her study room were piled high with various dried herbs. In addition, the newly purchased processing equipment is organized as it is,
Carrot laughed and patted her butt.
“Can I come again next time? It doesn’t change that this is your laboratory.”
“Ummm, that’s right? But walking around outside is not my taste.”
So, Tuna took the village girl she had been keeping an eye on and handed over the lab.
After tidying up, James pulled himself out of the luggage compartment of the automatic wagon and said while wiping his sweat.
“after-! It’s summer now, so, friends, is this the end? Are you done saying goodbye?”
Crank, who went to greet Princess Giuseppe and got a letter with the words that he was absent due to exploration, nodded.
“yes. It’s done. Let’s go now.”
James, who straightened his back and looked at him quietly, smiled and raised his finger.
“I don’t think they are yet.”
Crank turned the pitch. Geo and Boris, who had just climbed into the vehicle, also came down again.
Upon hearing the news that the benefactors were leaving, most of the villagers came out to see them off.
Ariete, Tuna, and Vita were already surrounded by people, holding hands and laughing or crying.
“Aww-! You will miss it! everyone!”
“Vita, thank you. thanks.”
“thank you. Vita, priest.”
The women who came in front of Vita used awkwardly learned words to express their gratitude. And everyone put their hands together and bowed their heads. They tried to show their gratitude to the priest who did everything they could to save an injured person or a person who was about to die.
People approached even the kind giant. The young men laughed, and the maidens took his big hands and shook them shyly. In the case of the elderly, they bowed as if they were bowing in a temple, which embarrassed the crank.
Geo, Boris and Kobe were also thanked. He declined saying that he hadn’t done much, but he didn’t know that he had gone out to rescue people.
In particular, the handsome Boris dominated the popularity of the girls.
“why? what?”
Godive said, embarrassed when he scrambled to bring a white thread and tie it around his wrist.
“It’s about tying a thread in the hope that someone you like will look back on you.”
“Ahhhhh… … !”
Boris always grumbled and grunted, but this time he blushed and blushed. Seeing it, the girls said it was cute and liked it.
Nearby, Geo and Kobe were also embarrassed, though not as much, with white threads tied around their arms.
Carrot also received many greetings. The villagers highly valued the bravery of attacking the hard-skinned automaton head-on, three times the size of its small body, to protect the village.
“Wah ha ha! They say the town’s vitality comes from the women’s laughter! Laugh out loud, talk excitedly, and live hard!”
