“excuse me.”
The fun time was short, and just then a person from the adventurer’s guild came to visit. After hearing what the guild master said, Crank nodded. After seeing him off, Crank looked back and opened his mouth.
“I will be busy from tomorrow. Let’s take a break once this one is over.”
And the next day, Crank, Carrot, and Ariete went to the adventurer’s guild early in the morning to meet Marvin’s guild master, and then went with him to the Automaton Maintenance Guild to talk with the guild master.
“oh my god! How can this be!”
The guild master of the Argon Automaton Maintenance Guild, Mushu, trembled his beard and inspected Ariete’s every nook and cranny. She made an uncomfortable expression, but didn’t care.
“Boo, embarrassing!”
“Monsieur Guild Master. Please do in moderation.”
Inside the guild workshop full of automaton-related odds and ends, a small old man looked up at Ariete and shouted out loud.
“I am over 70 this year! I am not something you should be ashamed of!”
“The old man’s field is starting again!”
Knights belonging to a lesser guild rushed in and dropped him. After a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
“I want to break it down! I want to break you down! I want to examine every nook and cranny of your body! Like licking with these two eyes and hands!”
“Kyaaagh! crank!”
A frightened Ariete grabbed Crank’s arm and hung on. Carrot came out.
“Calm down, sir! Because of this, there are rumors that there are only strange people in the maintenance guild.”
“Hey! Do you look so calm now! That is the treasure of mankind! Why do you monopolize only you! You stupid ogre! What did you eat to grow so big! Let me know too!”
Carrot puts on a weak expression, then looks back. Crank felt the same way.
Marvin Adventurers Guild Master accompanied them.
“calm down. Monsieur Guild Master. Of course, I will give you that technology. Here is the resource.”
“Come on, give it to me!”
Jumping off the chair and grabbing the briefcase, Monsieur Guild Master ran to the corner of the room, turned his back, and began examining it with bloodshot eyes.
Among the knights who were with me, a young man stepped forward as if he was sorry.
“sorry. You’ve gotten older these days and you’ve become more eccentric.”
“it’s okay. Unter.”
“Kiyo oh oh clothes!!! Human progress has begun!”
As the guild master raised the papers with both hands and screamed, everyone turned their faces away, covered their faces with their hands, or lowered their heads to sigh.
Carrot crosses her arms.
“Wow, do all humans become like that when they get old? It’s amazing.”
“I don’t want to be like that.”
“me too! scary! I want to go home!”
Ariete was still clinging to Crank.
While Crank, Marvin’s Guild Master, and Monsieur’s Guild Master were talking about future plans, the knights sneaked up on Carrot.
Carrot was also a famous automaton in the maintenance guild.
“That would be true, because ordinary people gained prestige by remodeling over and over again.”
“Parts and uncles have been talking about it before, but I don’t think there are many people who directly touch it.”
“There is, but it’s about as simple as that. There are few people who go all the way to overhaul in earnest like your master.”
Carrot was amazed.
“oh! Do you have anything other than cranks?”
“Well, how many are there? A person of interest in the guild.”
“Oh wow, that’s amazing. I never thought there would be another human like Crank.”
A female engineer who had stopped working and ran over interjected.
“Tell me about the doll of the goddess. Did you really pump steam at full mana engine? Are the internal organs okay?”
“Oh, is that it?”
“hmm! Secrecy!”
Sensing the hint, the Marvin Guild Master looked back and continued.
“It will be officially published next week. Buy it then and read it.”
“Ehh?”
“It happened. Hi-Hi.”
The crank also intervenes.
“It is still before inspection. We will be checking inside soon.”
“Please tell me about your condition! I wonder!”
“All right.”
“Now is not the time for such small talk! so! You want to sell this to us? Are you insane!?”
Crank turns his head.
“Of course it’s not free.”
“Sure! How much do you want?”
Crank began to say what he was thinking. Secret account, 1 million liz per month for the next 10 years,
“barely?”
Monsieur, the guild master, asked. This time, Crank was taken aback. Monsieur Guild Master looked over the documents and said.
“Honestly, an exoskeleton is no big deal. We’ve made something similar before. However, this nervous system connection technology is truly a new technology. I don’t know if it doesn’t work or not, but it hasn’t come out of the wizard guild of the west yet.”
The Adventurer’s Guild Master opened his mouth.
“I am announcing that the technology was developed by the Argon Automaton Maintenance Guild. How is it? If done well, it could bring back many retired adventurers. You become adults who present light to those who are frustrated by losing their arms and legs.”
Along with the young knights, Mushu’s guild master’s face became hot.
A saint who gives hope to a frustrated warrior,
However, people called guild masters did not take it lightly on these contracts. he said, raising his finger.
“Automaton is already commercialized. I don’t know if the automatic prosthetic arm can deliver hope to an individual, but I don’t know if it will turn into money. Numbers are important. However, I like this technique. 5% of all profits will be deposited into a secret account every month for 10 years. If you earn more, you get more, and if you earn less, you get less.”
Crank, who wasn’t particularly interested in money, thought over Tuna’s reaction and nodded, thinking it wouldn’t matter anyway.
“great.”
The guild master, Monsieur, raised his head and thumped his knees, looked at the crank.
“But who made this? This is the skill of a magician or a sorcerer. never you.”
“I cannot reveal. The secret account is also for that.”
Monsieur Master, who had been pulling his beard for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Are these the remnants of the black mage you subjugated last time?”
Everyone saw the crank. Crank opened his mouth in a low voice.
“no. And if talent and technology are selected based on origin and source, human progress will be rather slow.”
“Wow, good!”
The guild master Monsieur, who had come closer, reached out to him. Crank bent over and took his hand.
After the rough behind-the-scenes negotiations, they gathered again in the lord’s office the next day.
Upon receiving the report, the lord could not keep his mouth shut in surprise when he saw Ariete’s body.
Since the story had been discussed in advance, the final approval of the lord was required.
“Permission. Building a prosthetic mill will move a lot of jobs and a lot of money. And finally, it will bring hope to many people.”
“you’re right. It can bring back legendary adventurers who have lost their arms and legs and shut themselves out.”
Monsieur Guild Master said.
“I want to make a set for testing, but since that female knight has no limbs, I think it would be good for an experiment.”
“Permission. Don’t worry about the research cost and proceed. As a lord, it is always welcome that there are more specialties in the city.”
The creation of an automatic prosthetic arm based on neural link technology has now become a full-fledged Argon City business. However, since the technology demonstration provided has not yet been properly performed and the number is unknown, the crank did not have high expectations.
He just wanted to keep his promise to the Panther, and the rest was up to the city and guild officials to take care of themselves.
“Passover success!”
Crank, who was following, laughed a little at the confident voice of Carrot walking in front. Ariete opened her eyes wide.
“Leave it?”
“that’s right. honestly give it up We have a lot of work to do, now it’s up to them to figure it out.”
“I have no desire. Isn’t that a new technology? If you play an active role as a main axis, success is not a dream.”
Ariete looked up at the crank. Just in time, his helmet turned and his eyes met.
“I am not a grown man with big ambitions. And it’s not even my technology.”
Carrot looks back at Ariete, whose face is struggling to explain his meaning.
“ruler! Now where do we go next?”
“First of all, let’s finish Venus, take a break, upload your soft skin again, and then think about it while looking at the guild’s quest plaque.”
“I’ll be busy this year too.”
“yes. Life is short and there is a lot to do.”
Crank, who was talking, stopped. Then, with arms crossed, one hand on her chin, she looked back at Ariete, lost in thought.
she raises her head
“hmm? why?”
“Ariete, what are you going to do now?”
“uh···?”
Crank continued.
“It is safe to say that you have recovered all the money you put into your body on this business trip to the south. There’s enough change left over. So, if you want…”

“we are!”
Ariete, noticing what Crank wanted to say, shouted out loud. And he spoke.
“…it’s family. As I told Carrot before, I have no one to turn to other than you guys.”
Krank looked down at Ariete, who looked like a lonely puppy, touched his helmet and opened his mouth.
“I just want to make sure. you are free We are friends, we are parties, we can come and go whenever we want. Will that be enough for now?”
“hmm!”
Carrot, who was looking at the two of them with their arms folded, grins.
“So what do you want for dinner?”
“stew! Pancakes!”
From the second day, I started resting and reorganizing in earnest. After assembling the half-disassembled Venus, the crank really did nothing but rest or read a book. I didn’t even exercise.
He just said something incomprehensible that if you exercise excessively in a situation where your stamina is low, you will rather lose muscle.
Ariete also practiced swordsmanship at first, but soon began touring the city with Tuna and visiting the city library with Carrot.
Bang bang bang bang-!
A woman who has stamped a large stamp on her newly issued library membership card raises her head. It was a woman with a stern face, wearing glasses and with her hair up.
“It’s done. Everyone, please bring your membership card.”
“Wow, stamping sounds louder than people’s voices.”
“I am the librarian. Therefore, there is no law here.”
When librarian Lulu, who had a thug-like expression and pointed at her face with her thumb, looked down at Carrot, Carrot burst out laughing.
