As it was getting late, the people who finished their errands hurried back. Carrot also joined them to entrust the wig.
“Come with me. I will walk you to the main road.”
“I have to go see the market on the way. Gunpi and Chou go first.”
“okay.”
Carrot looked at Jake, the guard, who naturally blended into the group.
“When does your uncle get off work?”
“I have to stop by Miss Fluid’s house and check the status of the guard automaton that is guarding my younger siblings. I also get dinner while I’m gone.”
Fluid’s face heated up at the generous words of Jake.
“Uh, um, what, do you like…?”
Watching the two walk to the market, Carrot opened her eyes fiercely.
“Hey, Gunfi.”
“huh?”
“Tell me about the progress of those two. I’ll bless you if it goes well, but I won’t let that Jake go if you make poor Fluid cry and make him even more pitiful.”
Shushu and Gunfi were surprised.
“and! Are you an automaton? Can I say that?”
“huh? Didn’t you hear about me from Fluid?”
“No, I did hear…”
“Looking at it in reality, the gap is not a joke, is it? hahahaha! Speaking of dolls.”
Chou-Chu was confused, but Gun-Pi raised her head and looked ahead while touching her bobbed hair.
“I heard somewhere that people empathize with those they depend on. What’s more, he speaks so well and has a human-like face. Well, how is it?”
“oh! You are flexible in thinking. It’s quick to accept shock and reality.”
“How is it usually?”
“You’re making that face.”
Carrot, who was walking ahead, pointed at Shushu, who stood dumbfounded and opened his mouth with a troubled face.
After thinking for a while, Chou Shu closed his eyes and ran towards the two.
“Aagh! I don’t know! I’ll just do it my way! Like Mr. Crank! Go with me!”
Geonfi, who bent down a little, asked Carrot.
“By the way, Carrot, does your master have a girlfriend? marriage?”
Carrot looked up again with a face not befitting an automaton.
“Ow, pretty girl, are you interested in our crank?”
“···huh.”
When Gunfi, who turned his head slightly embarrassed, gave a low affirmation, Carrot laughed hahahaha.
“Last time, when I asked if I was getting married, I said I would, but not yet.”
Seeing Gunfi clenching his small fists, Chou Shu made an expression of disbelief.
“Gunfi, what do you like about a person that big?”
“Each person has a different taste. Like you take out the bacon from your sandwich.”
“Yeah, that’s to lose weight!”
“oh! Humans lose weight too. amazing. But Shushu doesn’t even have weight to lose, so what are you trying to lose more?”
“What is life, it’s just an unbalanced diet. So that’s just the chest. Does this have to be enough to beat men?”
Gunfi raised his chest with both hands, and Shushu covered his small breasts with both hands and screamed loudly.
“crying! Gunfi!”
“Wah ha ha ha! You guys are so funny!”
Carrot returned to the studio while taking a leisurely walk after taking the two of them home and leaving them to make wigs. Carrot heard the story while making crank dinner.
“Carrot, tomorrow you go to the guild alone and take novice adventurers around the dungeon.”
“huh? what?”
Crank turned around while working and spoke again.
“It looks like the guild is trying to do something like basic education for new adventurers.”
Carrot, who was frying vegetables while holding a frying pan, opened her eyes wide.
“Eh? to do it alone? Is that okay?”
“You think you can’t?”
“no! Not that! did you forget Am I an automaton?”
“Yes, you are an automaton. You have to be accompanied and instructed by your master. But now you don’t have to have that, right? Think about the position and experience you have accumulated.”
Chijijijik…!
Crank, who was making eye contact with Carrot, who was staring at the fly fan, raised a finger.
“Ride.”
“What!”
Waving the fly fan, Carrot looked back.
“Really? Then I go alone?!”
“okay. I already told the guild that. Even the new adventurers there agreed.”
“Oh ho ho ho! really really?! good! Teacher Carrot, the tiger, will train you hard!”
Early in the morning, young men who couldn’t take off their youthful appearance gathered in the adventurer’s guild waiting room.
“Boris, did you come early?”
A handsome, long-haired young man lying on the table raised his head.
“… No, I slept here. I’m nervous.”
Geo and Coby, who are friends in the neighborhood, looked astringent at Boris’ words.
“You slept here?”
“Are not you tired? Can I go today?”
“and! I am so sorry that I am late!”
Suddenly, a girl jumped in between the party. Her name was Vita, and she was an apprentice priest dispatched from the temple. He was the youngest of the group, aged 17.
“Oh, we just got here too.”
“Who would you like to be with today?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I don’t think he came yet.”
“But are you okay? They say it’s an automaton.”
Boris, exhausted from a lack of sleep, said in a suspicious voice with shadows under his eyes. Then G.O and Kobe made meaningful expressions.
“I don’t know about you, but it’s quite famous in my city. Speaking of Carrot, it is a named automaton that is ranked among the top five in the adventurer’s guild.”
“wow! Am I within five fingers?”
When there was no one there, a voice was heard, and everyone looked around in surprise. Before I knew it, a little girl was smiling next to the table.
“omg! It’s Carrot!”
“wow!”
“and! cute!”
“Are you guys the chicks who will be with the tiger teacher Carrot?”
“chick?”
Boris frowned and looked up. It was because Carrot jumped up and stood on the table and started looking down.
“Yes, chick. Did you pick it up because you heard that from the automaton? But I have to admit. You guys haven’t even entered the dungeon yet?”
Everyone shut up. Carrot laughed.
“I am Carrot. I’m about to take you guys through some simple basic training. Please take good care of me.”
At that time, adventurers passing by greeted them.
“huh? Are you Carrot? What are you doing?”
“We are going to do basic training for new adventurers!”
“Ah, that’s what the guild was talking about. I was annoyed and declined. Looks like you took care of the crank. But where has your master gone?”
“I came alone because I was busy. I’m done talking with the guild.”
When the rambunctious adventurers heard the sound, they frowned, then nodded when they saw Carrot.
“If I go with this guy, light dungeons won’t matter, right?”
“Yeah, he’s almost human.”
“I have nothing to give you, take this with you. Newcomers.”
The adventurers put out a few bottles of leftover potion and a light scroll.
“Use it in the dungeon. look good And watch out for that Carrot. It’s a swear word.”
“Oh no! What a swear word!”
“Take care of the children and bring them!”
“Don’t worry!”
After exchanging bad words with the adventurers, Carrot looked at the four of them.
“Two swordsmen and one bow, are you a priest? Do you wear heels?”
“yes! I can use heal, light, and recovery from abnormal conditions.”
“What about attack magic?”
“Oh, no.”
Carrot nodded. And he said with a bright smile.
“The place we are going to is a dungeon 2 hours away on foot from here. It’s an old abandoned mine. Gold and grapestone came out.”
“A grape stone?”
“Yeah, a stone that looks like a grape. It can be processed into a jewel. Here in Argon was a town formed by miners gathering to dig it, so there are several abandoned mines nearby. Monsters gathered in such a place and it became a dungeon.”
“What are you doing there?”
At Boris’s twisted words, Carrot put his hand on his waist and looked down at Boris.
“Does your hair look like that?”
“why? what? no?”
“No, it suits me better. But you’re a swordsman. If you don’t wield it quite well, the long and scattered hair gets in the way. Does the hair sting your eyes?”
Boris kept his mouth shut and gave a defiant look, but Carrot didn’t care and jumped off the table and headed for the guild reception with his party.
“Take care of the new Carrot adventurers.”
“yes. It’s just going around the dungeon. Well, don’t worry.”
After receiving the paper after the reception, Carrot handed it to G.O.
“receive. It’s a request reception desk. You will need it when you leave the castle gate.”
“yes.”
Carrot said with a smirk.
“You can speak comfortably. I am an automaton.”
“Eh, well, but…”
“Come on! Let’s go quickly!”
At Boris’ urging, Carrot took them out of the guild building. And headed to the market. said Boris.
“hey! Where. Isn’t the castle gate over there?”
“Oh hey, climber. What are you going to eat when you go out, you need to prepare something simple to eat. You humans are going to eat your own flesh even if you only sleep for one day.”
“Aren’t you coming back in the evening?”
“How can you bet that? I don’t know what’s going to happen in your life But how much money do you guys have?”
“I have some savings for a party.”
“okay? Great. Let’s use the potion the old men gave us. For food, sell adventurer lunch sets at the market or inn. It is convenient to buy it at first. I also bought a lot of cranks.”
“And Mr. Crank?”
“Yes, Master also had his days as a novice adventurer. I’ve been watching it from the beginning. Go to that store and buy them. It’ll take a day. Don’t forget the water.”
