Crank, who opened Green’s body to check the wear and deterioration of the internal organs, called out the details of the parts to be ordered, and Carrot wrote them down eagerly next to him.
“As expected, all the joints are broken. Surprisingly, the artificial muscles are fine, but let’s reinforce it by inserting a few more places, about 10 packs.”
“…10 packs of artificial muscles. joints?”
“There are 14 joints, 1 mana stone red, 1 bundle each of power transmission high-voltage cable, low-voltage cable, and nerve cable, and the cartilage between the vertebrae is also damaged in several places. A bundle of artificial cartilage.”
“It goes in a lot.”
“It’s up to us to write and leave behind.”
“I like you kid. I can use it when I do maintenance. Let’s order some more.”
The parts statement was written until dawn like that. Crank fell off after that, and Carrot waited until morning to visit the bakery first.
Bang bang bang!
“Open the door, please!”
“Who are you early in the morning?”
“grow!”
“omg! Carrot!?”
“Give me some bread, Uncle! Serve 3 servings with jam and cheese instead of breakfast for adults! And bread that the kids will like is worth 30,000 liz as a gift!”
A young woman who was baking bread in the kitchen quickly filled a paper bag with bread. As I was about to leave the coin, Carrot’s eyes widened.
“uh? Are you Emilia?”
Emilia, the daughter of the bakery, smiled brightly. Carrot was delighted.
“and! You’ve become so pretty! I can get married! That’s right, are you still aiming for a crank?”
“Oh no!”
Emilia’s face reddened and she hit her hand. Carrot, who smiled, waved and left the bakery.
“I moved to this neighborhood this time. I will come by often.”
Leaving behind Emilia nodding her head in front of the store, she crossed the city to visit the parts department of the automaton management office and ordered spare parts for Green. Luckily I had a spare so I was able to purchase it right away.
“And parts and guys, eat this!”
“wow! What is this? Is it bread?”
“huh! I bought some when the men came because I was hungry. Uncle Roll on Eighth Street has a bakery nearby?”
“and! I’ll eat well! thanks!”
People who went to the office early in the morning said, having a snack with the bread Carrot gave out.

“Anyway, your master is great too. It’s not a company, but it’s rare for an individual to repair it himself.”
“Wow, I guess there are other people besides my master?” But most of them end up messing it up and costing twice as much or scrapping it.”
“oh! What will happen to those automaton scraps?”
“We purchase it at scrap cost and recycle it. The frame and some of the internal parts are rare materials, so they are melted down and remade. Did you know that part of your spinal parts are mithril?”
Carrot asked softly.
“Do you sell such expensive junk parts separately?”
Then one of the men ate bread and spoke lowly.
“If there is something you want, come early in the morning and tell me sneakily. Price negotiable.”
“Yes, I’ll be gone.”
“okay. The bread was good.”
Carrot, who was carrying a large bag full of new parts, smiled and nodded, and started running busily.
“That’s the combat automaton Carrot. How cute.”
A young man who had been watching Carrot’s back turned his head.
“But can I do this?”
“No. But since they’re already stealing everything from above, what can’t we do? And what he’s doing is so admirable.”
“I said it was Uncle Roll’s bakery on 8th Avenue, right? I’ll have a look after work. The bread is delicious.”
“Uh, let me go too.”
It was early in the morning, so more people were coming and going on the streets. The place Carrot ran to was a row house in the residential area.
Bang bang!
“Fluid! I know you are here! Come on, open the door!”
After a while, the door slowly opened. A woman in her twenties with blonde hair appeared. The woman who found Carrot let out a deep sigh and soon became an ax eye and stretched Carrot’s cheek.
“This! You thought the debtor came!”
“Ooh-! Let’s just say the cheeks are stretched! increase!”
Seeing her crossed arms as if offended, Carrot lifted the bag of bread.
“receive.”
“What is it?”
“What is a gift? Feed your little brothers.”
“Thank you. come in.”
“it’s okay. I’ll go in when your youngest sister is a bit older, she thinks I’m a walking doll?”
“Are you a doll?”
“Are you that doll friend?”
The two giggled. said Carrot.
“Did you grow a lot of hair?”
Fluid, holding a bag of bread to his chest, brushed his hair a little before saying,
“Are you going to change your hair?”
“If there is someone other than me who wants to sell hair, please introduce me. I want my hair to be as long as possible. Color doesn’t matter.”
“okay.”
“This is the address. I’ll double the market rate, so bring it yourself and the deadline is tomorrow evening. You have to come in it. Otherwise, I can’t buy it.”
“Whose head are you going to plant? Unexpectedly, a lot of things like that.”
“Are you proud that the famous automaton hair is actually mine?”
“I cannot deny it. Do you know how strong the nose of the owner of your hair is?”
Carrot laughed hahahaha.
“How is Melissa?”
“yes. Melissa’s hair is reserved for the next 10 years. I don’t know if I’ll really buy it, but thanks to that, I got married. im pregnant now Would you like it if I said you came?”
“Wow! That tomboy Melissa? I’ll have to visit you sometime later. The guy who will plant the head is an automaton named Green. He was the one who was decided to participate in this Dragon Rare Expedition by nomination from the guild leader. Right now the crank is undergoing rave repairs.”
Fluid squatted in front of the door and met Carrot’s eyes.
“and! really? I’ve heard rumors. Isn’t that the automaton that fought the orcs in Dragon Rare? how is it? Do you think it will go pretty well from what you see?”
“to? You don’t know that?”
Fluid made a sullen expression.
“Do you want to get married like Melissa?”
“If you get a few years older here, it’s really dangerous. I should have cut my hair back then, ha…!”
Carrot giggles.
“not bad. The guild will publicize it extensively as an automaton that participated in the Dragon Rare Expedition, but Crank will take care of it, so there won’t be any problem in making a name for yourself for the time being. But this is also a positive thing, an adventurer who won’t be surprised if he dies tomorrow, an automaton for combat, so he doesn’t know the future.”
Fluid bit his fingers and gave a pensive look. Carrot said goodbye to her and returned home lightly carrying a bag that was too large for her small body.
“I miss you! My house~!”
Singing humming songs, in the yard where we arrived, there was a muscle mass macho doing push-ups wearing only underwear and a helmet.
“50…! 51…!”
“My master, today is a strong and energetic morning. Shall I boil the chicken breast?”
“hook! okay. Even stir-fried vegetables!”
Carrot, who went into the warehouse-cum-house, boiled chicken breast and stir-fried vegetables in a makeshift kitchen.
“I bought all the parts! I even ordered hair!”
“number! go! did! uh!”
After completing the push-ups, Crank ran around the storage area for an hour, taking a shower with cold water from a bucket.
“I need a bathroom.”
“The kitchen too.”
“Once the expedition is over, let’s start a major renovation of the workshop.”
“But will those Orc friends stay the same?”
Crank shook his head as he sat down, still in his underwear, munching on the food Carrot had prepared for him.
“I used basic tactics. They seem to be a bit crazy, but most likely they ran away.”
“Ohh?”
“But I don’t know how. You should always do your best to prepare. Remember Green’s company.”
Carrot nodded, remembering the adventurers who went there thinking only of an empty dragon rare and got robbed.
“I agree with everything you do. I don’t remember any major losses.”
“Yes, but is this cabbage juice again?”
Carrot said as she poured the cloudy green liquid into the cup.
“It’s nice to be able to cook on my own. I’ll feed you a lot of good things in the future. Live long.”
After eating, Crank took out parts from his bag and checked them. And I started working right away.
Carrot helped with the work as an assistant around. I run some errands,
“Time is running out, let’s outsource the combat uniform. Ask Maria to gather some people to do a chore at the evening ladies’ party. Return all the items ordered from the blacksmith’s shop or the dry goods shop there.”
“okay.”
Carrot rushed to the inn with sketches and measurements of a custom battle suit and was greeted with great hospitality.
“excuse me! Is Maria there?”
“oh! Carrot! It’s Carrot!”
When Carrot turned his head, several familiar adventurers sat down to eat and waved.
They weren’t close enough to joke around, so she gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and said hello.
It was around noon, so the adventurers who were eating were chattering.
“oh! Is that an automaton called Carrot? It’s the first time I’ve seen an automaton with a soft skin. Aren’t they so cute?”
“Hey, it’s just the outside. I’ve seen them fight when escorting the corps, but there was no rabid hamster.”
“A hamster with rabies! These days, they are called spinning music box dolls!”
When Carrot yells, one of the adventurers laughs hahahaha.
“Oh, that skirt blade?”
“Ah, okay. Guys, eat some rice. I’m sure the nicknames are a little more elegant for the elves. Where is Maria?”
“Oh, here you are, Carrot. what’s the matter?”
Carrot entered the kitchen and handed her a large paper bag.
“what’s this?”
“Please help outsourcing the automaton combat uniform.”
“Crank must be busy, okay. I’ll call some of the women’s associations in the evening. What is the deadline?”
“3 days.”
He looked at the sketch of the combat uniform in the envelope and nodded.
“It is simple. Doesn’t it have to be made like this?”
“Yes, it is not a standard product for sale, so you can just make it similar. I will bring you the items needed for assembly soon.”
“okay. Come pick it up in the morning after three days.”
Carrot, who was about to leave the inn, bumped into someone. It was a familiar face.
“uh? Carrot?”
“Oh, wait, who were you?”
Adam made a gloomy face, but Carrot smiled and waved his hand.
“It’s a joke. Adam.”
“Now I’m being teased even by automatons.”
“Isn’t it an exciting experience? Where is Lena?”
“He is still sleeping.”
“You sleep? Is it mid-heaven?”
“They sleep a lot. This is the fastest way to recover the load on your body.”
Carrot nodded.
“Where are you from?”
“Wait a minute, at the ghetto chief’s house, these people often get together to eat together. That’s right, the ghetto chief’s daughter was just like you.”
“Ah, that’s why you looked at me so proudly. By the way, you guys were tied up here. We were here until yesterday too.”
“okay? We moved last night. What about cranks?”
“I’m working on a great admiration in the studio right now.”
“work? Oh, you said you were repairing the green.”
“Did you buy the Lena battle suit?”
“That was expensive. Even the head of the ghetto seems to be a bit overbearing.”
“Then there is nothing you can do. If you want to try on even random items, can you ask Crank?”
Adam’s face brightened.
“Oh, would you really?”
Carrot grinned and gave a thumbs up.
“I’ll come back in the evening.”
Adam, who has brightened up, waves his hand in front of the inn building.
