“But why is this friend talking half-heartedly?”
“Ah, that. If you have a strong ego or your brain’s computational capacity is low, you won’t be able to use honorific names and will be consistent in speaking in short language, but it’s not a malfunction. sometimes Look, am I too?”
“Oh oh! So what about this one?”
The villagers looked at Gage with splendid red hair this time. Gage nodded and bowed.
“i look forward to. Automaton Gauge. From today, you will be in charge of the defense of the pioneer village, Mekro.”
“and! be nice! Be polite!”
Carrot put her hand on her waist and put on a happy expression. After the welcome ceremony, Bomba returned in the evening wearing a white heat-resistant wig. Spotting Carrot, Bomba nodded and took out a notebook to write.
– welcome.
“okay! Bomba! We are here again to see you!”
Carrot raised her arms and greeted Bomba. When Bomba raised her head and pointed at the automaton standing nearby, Carrot explained that it was an additional defense automaton ordered by the village.
– That’s great. Even if not, I needed help. Nice to meet you. This is Bomba.
Gage, who read Bomba’s words, nodded, but Geiger didn’t know the text, so he told me and found out.
“Because Geiger doesn’t know text. You guys have to teach me.”
“Oh really?! Are there automatons who can’t read!?”
“If you don’t add additional options, you won’t know anything about writing or anything when shipping. You only know by experiencing and learning. Even I learned texting from my master. Neighbors please.”
“Leave it to me!”
“Oh oh! I! I will teach you!”
Carrot came out.
“But that starts tomorrow, and from now on, let’s talk about the village defense. Gather around the neighborhood guys and automatons.”
Carrot and the townsfolk looked at the village’s guest house, divided Bomba’s daily routine into three parts, and then redefine defense posture and patrol hours.
Carrot nodded as he unfolded the paper with the defense plan written on it.
“Is it okay if we do this for a while? Of course, corrections are necessary depending on the situation. Do you understand?”
The automatons and people nodded.
“But you’re such a smart little guy. Are you the daughter of that crank?”
“huh?! Ha ha ha!”
Carrot burst into laughter at the absurd question. The man who heard the circumstances from the others was surprised.
“It’s an automaton! So is it soft skin?! amazing! I recently moved to this town. It was said that it was an automaton that looked just like a human, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent.”
“Hey, is that so?”
“Ah, I’ve seen adventurers sometimes taking soft-skin automatons with them, but they weren’t as perfect as you. You really look like a person.”
“and! I haven’t seen any other soft-skinned kids. how is it?”
“Cheap is bad. It’s terrible. It’s like a doll made by a child. However, expensive items are indistinguishable from people. but you are really great Who made it?”
Just then, Crank entered what was being used as a conference room.
“It’s a secret. But it cost a lot of money.”
“oh! Master!”
The people gathered turned their heads and looked at the owner of the carrot. Those who had just moved in were amazed at his keel.
“oh! You are so big!”
“thank you. Carrot’s soft skin was made by a company. The craftsmanship of the sculptor was good, but the durability was not good.”
“I see, actually, I was interested in automatons, so when I was young, I joined a maintenance guild as a trainee. yes! I heard you fixed the bomba?! amazing! This 100-year-old antique is so good!”
Crank sat down.
“I struggled because there was little data. It took over a week. What was it like in your younger days? Were there quite a few foreign automatons like Bomba?”
He said while stroking his beard.
“Even when I was young, there weren’t many foreign automatons because they were expensive. Occasionally, I saw them used by aristocratic families for display or as pets. As you know, Izelia’s automatons are so beautiful that they look cute no matter what they wear. It’s for some special purpose. Have you seen the same model used as a pet? Of course, if you teach him, he can do quite a bit of swordsmanship, but he wasn’t that strong.”
Crank’s eyes shone fiercely.
“I would like to hear more about that story.”
“No, before that, are you still having dinner? I will prepare a meal for my wife. do it while eating Our house is right next door.”
“Come to think of it, I hunted a troll on the way back, and I cut off some of the thigh flesh. Roast it.”
Carrot, who was listening next to him, murmured.
“Oh, this is going to be long. Bomba, Geiger, Gage, we go on patrol. I need to look around the defense area.”
Bomba and the automatons rose from their seats and quietly went outside.
At Crank’s words, a large old man with a beard rose to his knees.
“oh! Troll Thighs! Really! You must have a beer!”
“Have you tried the old monster meat?”
“My name is Bevel! All southerners can’t afford troll meat! But here they don’t like that. It’s delicious.”
“Nice to meet someone from the same area.”
“Oh! You too?!”
“I cannot reveal my hometown, but I grew up by the sea.”
Crank immediately brought the huge troll meat loaded onto the wagon. The size of a human torso, Bevel cheered. As soon as I started to clean the well and start cooking the meat by making a fire nearby, curious people came out.
“Crank is grilling meat!”
“what! meat!?”
said Bebel with a beer glass giggling.
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, troll meat.”
“Keepy!! How do you eat that!?”
“What can you not eat? Fools. If you don’t eat meat, you can’t use your strength. look at me! My age is over 60 this year, but look at these muscles! okay! crank! Take off your clothes!”
Crank, who was grilling meat on the fire, turned the pitch and threw off his jacket and T-shirt as soon as he saw the crowds of people.
“wow···!”
“Oh my gosh…!”
Regardless of age or s*x, they opened their mouths to Crank’s body. Some were even drooling.
“Troll meat is poisonous. Eating raw will give you an upset stomach, but it is delicious when boiled or grilled. It’s better than beef. And if you eat a lot of that meat and exercise, this is what happens.”
When I deliberately bent my arms to show my biceps and pectoral muscles that were about to explode, people’s eyes were shaken in various ways.
“okay! When women eat, their breasts grow too! Look at my wife!”
“No, this man is drunk!”
puck puck!
Although he was beaten on the back, it was only natural that everyone’s eyes instantly turned to Bebel’s wife. And some women bit their lower lips and put their hands on their breasts.
“Perhaps it is a difference in local eating habits. The South is a harsh place. There is the sea, but farming is not going well, so I would have had to catch and eat monsters. I will not force you to recommend it. Eat only those who are willing to try it.”
Just then, a skinny young man from the village stepped out.
“I, really, if I eat this and exercise, will I become like a crank?”
Crank’s helmet moved.
“of course. do you know this Animals that live in cold regions are usually large. This also applies to people, you live in the North but you are smaller than me or Mr. Bebel from the South. Do you know why?”
“It’s because I couldn’t eat, what!”
“you’re right. It is simply undernourished.”
As Crank said, he held out a skewer with the troll’s grilled meat on it.
“If you eat well, you will grow well. Whether it be a potato or a person.”
The young man closed his eyes tightly and began chewing on it.
“Oops!”
When everyone’s eyes turned to him, the young man shouted.
“ah! This is delicious!”
“Me, give me some too!”
“me too!”
The grilled troll meat sold well, and soon several more grills were added. Bevel and Crank looked at each other and laughed sinisterly. It was good for Bevel because there were many southern specialties, and for Crank it was because the work to improve their diet was successful.
“Now, let’s mobilize all the village wagons early tomorrow morning to collect the troll meat. It comes only by applying flesh. You can go here in one day. If you dry or salt it and preserve it, it should be quite edible.”
“How many are there?”
“I caught about 32 trolls.”
Bevel, who was drinking beer, squirted beer out of his nose, coughed a little, and then clenched his fists.
“oh my god! You mean you robbed the troll lair?!”
“There are three well-equipped combat automatons, so that’s what worked.”
“Good! I will ask the village chief and come back!”
Bebel, who persuaded the village chief almost through threats, drove a wagon with volunteers to the troll den early the next morning and cut the meat.
More than half of them had been hacked to pieces by some kind of monster in the middle of the night, but there were still some in good condition, so I dismantled them and brought them back.
Returning to the village, Crank gathered the people and said.
“You shouldn’t go there twice.”
“why?”
“Monsters who know that their rice is missing can come after you. The smell of blood is strong.”
“Um, that’s right. Got it. By the way, I dismantled about two of them and brought only the delicious parts, but the amount is no joke.”
Turning the pitch, Crank smiled contentedly at the pile of meat the youngsters were moving.
“okay. I need to salt it, so I’ll use all the salt I’ve stocked up.”
“No, according to the young people here, it is a deal to smoke. Salt is a valuable commodity.”
“Oh, I see.”
“You must be really Southern. Salt is an idea that comes from the fact that you can get it in any amount from the sea.”
Crank laughed. I’m wearing a helmet, so I can’t see it, but
“Are you married?”
“no.”
“okay? May I introduce you to my daughter?”
Crank raised his hand.
“Thank you, but I have no intention of getting married yet. We have a lot more to do.”
Bevel nodded as if regretting it.
“is it? The other girls in the town must be sad too. There are many girls who are after you.”
“I don’t know what to do to hear that you like this kind of muscle transformation.”
Bevel and other people carrying troll meat nearby exploded with bread.
“crank! What is a muscle change movement? ha ha ha!”
“Wah ha ha ha!”
Then Carrot appeared.
“People who don’t like cranks call it that. It’s like a nickname. movement of muscle change. I mean, well, you’ll know when you see yourself.”
