I was working with my gray hair up, so Ms. Garnet, who was wearing glasses, smiled heartily. Upon hearing the story, Mrs. Garnett shook her head.
“I haven’t seen you in days. But who is this? Do you have arrows stuck in your body? Are you okay?”
“I just returned from the orc subjugation. I’m afraid that if I pull it out, it will malfunction, so I’m leaving it for a while.”
Carrot introduced Venus.
“It’s Venus, I brought it after I went on a business trip to the south this time. It is the epitome of southern technology.”
“Oh, you’re from the South?”
The production of basic mass-produced automatons, not individual productions, is entirely handled by Riznet, the first ark city located in the west. It was because the production base donated by the elves was there. Liznet was also the name of a country.
So, although all automatons have the same hometown, internal repairs through maintenance are bound to mix with the personality of local maintenance engineers or regional characteristics.
It was the difference that Crank was surprised to open Venus.
And Mrs. Garnett’s eyes are also unusual. The lady, who reached out and grabbed a handful of the yellow hair, raised a sharp gaze.
“If it’s okay, would you like to stay for a while? I’d like to see what Southern engineers are like.”
“Yes, please.”
After sitting Venus down and removing the wig, Mrs. Garnet took a closer look at the knots and joining methods inside.
“Petra.”
“yes.”
Petra has arrived. Mrs. Garnet pointed to the inside of Venus’ wig with a serious face and explained this and that. Carrot took some wigs from the carrot boulevard and put them on the bald Venus.
“Wow, it suits you well.”
Wearing a permed green thermal wig, Venus looked in the mirror. Mrs. Garnett smiled at that and said,
“Do you like them?”
“I don’t know about Venus, but I like it. Pretty!”
“Is that so?”
Mrs. Garnet said, raising her original yellow wig.

“Then why don’t you trade it for this one?”
“What, really?”
“Well, the knots and fastenings in this one are unique. You have to refer to other people’s skills to improve your skills. I had no idea.”
“But with permission from the master…”
But Carrot was already holding and shaking Mrs. Garnet’s hand.
“Madam, it was a good deal. Please use our carrot market often in the future.”
Garnet, who squeezed the small hand, smiled as if it were cute.
“Petra. Bring this to my studio.”
“yes. ma’am.”
Carrot asked, watching Petra running to the workshop inside the gun shop carrying a yellow heat-resistant wig.
“But why is he here?”
“I was introduced to someone I know. I have a miserable wife, so I asked her to run errands for her, so I called her.”
Garnet looked at Carrot.
“Teach me a little, and if you are good at it, I will accept you as a disciple.”
“Oh oh-! Good luck Petra!”
Just in time, Petra, who had just closed the door of the studio and came out, smiled brightly.
“Yeah, that’s great. It’s all thanks to you.”
Carrot, smiling like a cat, sneaked up to Petra and asked.
“Is Rimorang doing well?”
“mmm…!”
Petra narrowed her eyebrows and curtailed her words. Carrot giggled and waved as she left the store.
“We’re off to find the crank now! take care of yourself! See you again!”
Mrs. Garnet and Petra, who came out to see me off, waved.
Venus, who was walking behind Carrot, pointed to her head and asked.
“Does this matter?”
“huh! Crank isn’t such a narrow-minded person. I guarantee that.”
After looking down at Carrot for a moment, Venus looked at her reflection in the show window of a roadside shop. The yellow heat-resistant wig had now turned green.
“Do you like it?”
“The shape doesn’t matter. It just needs to be able to secure heat dissipation.”
“Still, it suits you very well, Venus. Now, the yellow-headed automaton Mera from the pirate ship will be nowhere to be found.”
Venus, who was still looking down at Carrot, asked.
“Are you really an automaton?”
“Mhehehe! of course! let’s go! To find the runaway master! This gongdori has no place to go, but I don’t know where it went?”
Carrot comes and runs. Venus followed the little automaton. Green hair flutters nicely.
The security guard, Maria’s inn, Uncle Roll’s bakery, Coco’s automaton store, and everywhere else to go, Carrot started to get worried.
I went back to the studio just in case, but he wasn’t there.
“Huh?! Be, Venus Flower, there’s an arrow stuck in it!? What happened to the heat-resistant wig?”
“I got hit during the battle. I didn’t know if it would cause problems if I pulled it out, so I left it as is.”
Tuna brought the tongs.
“Yeah, but it’s not good to walk around with arrows stuck in them. If this digs in, the inside will get worse. From now on, break the tail of the arrow, like this.”
Carrot looked around while Tuna lectured on how to cut arrows and give first aid.
“What about the crank?”
“I haven’t come yet.”
“Where have you been? It’s afternoon now. ah! There is one more!”
Ariete asked.
“Where are you?”
“shall we go together? It’s a place you might like.”
Ariete followed Carrot to Third Street. It was an industrial district, filled with blacksmiths and various processing factories.
Ariete followed Carrot while taking a closer look at the surroundings, probably because it was her first visit. Eventually, the place they arrived at was a blacksmith’s shop.
“Hwaa…!”
The stalls on the floor near the entrance were filled with freshly pulled hot longsword-like weapons.
A woman in a head scarf ran out from inside. It was Tita, the daughter of a blacksmith.
“welcome! Oh my goodness! Carrot!”
“Tita-!”
Carrot ran and hugged Tita, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time. Because of her short stature, the only place her face could touch was Tita’s stomach.
“Snack-snack-! It smells as good as ever!”
“hahahaha! It’s still there, what’s going on? Oh, welcome. Are you with me?”
Tita, who was stroking Carrot’s hair, saw Ariete with a flushed face in front of the door.
“Hey, can I listen to that?”
“Sure. It was just forged.”
“Hooo!”
Carrot asked Tita while Ariete lifted a longsword from the box.
“Have you not seen Crank? I can’t see you all day.”
Tita laughs. In the place where she turned her head, there was a workshop full of heat, and there, one man standing in front of an anvil with all his big muscles exposed, each one was striking red-hot iron to make things such as swords and farm implements.
Kang-! Kang-! Kang-!
And there, the person Carrot has been searching for so far is engrossed in hammering.
“crank! hey!”
The tin giant, shirtless and sweaty muscles exposed, lifted his helmet while hammering.
“uh? What are you doing here?”
The spirited Carrot imitated his expression and voice.
“uh? It’s not. uh? go! Master, I didn’t see you, so I went around the whole city!”
“Ah, that’s right. Sorry. I was passing by and heard that it needed some human hands, so I wanted to try hammering for the first time in a while, and then…”
Carrot tilted her head.
“and?”
Crank, who had put the hammer down, raised his forearm.
“I wanted to purify my polluted mind for a while among sweaty men. As you may know, there are only women in the studio right now, hmm! Look, even my muscles are delighted.”
Crank’s muscle bragging set fire to the men’s hearts. At the same time, the men in the smithy who put down their hammers showed off their bumpy muscles.
“Huh-! We’re always welcome if we get another hammer. Now look, this is what a front double by septet is. If you turn back, you’ll get a hundred double by sepps! A man speaks with his back!”
“And this is a side chest!”
“I can’t lose to the boss! Up dominal and tie!”
“Most Muscula-!”
The crank also got stuck there and started copying the poses.
Watching the terrifying poses of blacksmith men who were just ridiculous to the general public, Carrot started to laugh out loud. Tita, who was standing with her, also smiled bitterly.
“and! Tita-! There are loads of cranks!”
“Once it comes to this, I can’t stop it anymore.”
At that time, Ariete with a long sword jumped in with a bright face.
“Hey, how much is this longsword… uh huh huh?!”
“hmm? It’s such a pretty guest, let’s greet the guest. All together up Dominal and Tie!”
“Hmm!!”
The men lifted their arms above their heads and showed off their terrible arm and chest muscles. The crank was also stuck in the gap.
Frightened, Ariete raised her longsword and stepped back. If you come close, you can even see the spleen of slashing. Seeing that, Carrot laughed and ran in front of the men and showed the same posture together.
“yap! Up Dominal what?!”
The men shouted at the same time.
“Up dominal and tie!”
Ariete, holding a longsword, shook her head and put on a desperate expression.
“Put on some clothes! You muscle perverts!”
After a while, the men picked up their work again and started hammering, and Ariete looked at the longswords and daggers that were spread out on the seat with Tita.
Crank said as he picked up the clothes he had taken off.
“It’s nice here too. When I hit the iron, it feels like my head is in order.”
“Okay, let’s go back now. There are many people waiting for you. I am not the only one who worries when you are out of sight.”
Crank looked down at Carrot.
“Have you ever said that when an adventurer has a family, the number of disabilities increases? I guess I am now.”
“It’s just that the time has come for you. don’t miss it I want my master to live with many people.”
Crank, who met Carrot’s eyes for a moment, turned his head away.
“Let’s go back now.”
“Yes, let’s go to Ariete too!”
Ariete, who had been looking at freshly made items on the blacksmith’s stall for a while, ended up purchasing a longsword. On the way back, she drew her sword and inspected it, and she was excited.
“Oh oh-! this color! this weight! That is really cool!”
“Don’t draw a knife by the roadside. get caught.”
“Uh, um. Excited.”
I was walking along the side of the road on a warm spring afternoon when someone called. Looking back, the members of the Party Molly Wizards were standing there.
“uh? crank?”
“Molly, everyone. That’s a big deal. Where are you all going?”
A group of people outside the ghetto are smiling.
“From now on, it’s a party. Would you like to stop by for a while?”
“A party?”
While the Cranks were out hunting in the southern winter, some of Argon’s adventurer party went to subdue the remnants of the Black Mage with Romani.
“It’s after that. Many people will come.”
“Party! party!”
Looking at the toast, Carrot said.
“Are you excited about toast?”
“then! The ghetto chief’s wife is such a good cook? I fixed the price for dinner tonight! Let’s go together. You also need to build up some connections. It’s called Romani filtering.”
“Romani filtering?”
Rimo laughed and helped.
“They were all the people Mr. Romani called? They are people with the minimum personality and skills.”
“Oh oh! That’s right, Romani filtering! minimum standards! I think I know a little bit!”
Carrot reacted curiously. After thinking for a moment, Crank looked at Ariete and Carrot, then turned his head.
“All right. let’s go We will also wear it.”
* * *
As I walked along with the people, the scenery began to change. Eventually, they arrived at a detached house in an upscale residential area. Carrot was amazed.
“It is a single-family house! oh my god! It even has a garden!”
“Howdy-!”
A flashing bald head waved from one of the first in the yard barbecuing. It was a ghetto.
“This is the ghetto man’s house? Wow! rich man!”
At Carrot’s words, people including the ghetto giggled.
“The wealthy are what, long-term loans. It was your dream to live in a nice house, right? Come on guys! crank! You are here too. oh! Even the female knight in the steam cloak!”
Ariete, who was standing next to Crank, asked a little warily.
“Do you know me?”
“of course. Because of your performance in the South, everyone has heard of your name at least once, and there are many people who want to meet you.”
At that time, the gathered female adventurers approached. The ghetto introduced them one by one. People who were moved by the story of her standing up without hesitation even after being amputated were all unable to hide their joy when they met Ariete in real life.
“I’m a fan!”
“me too!”
“Yeah?!”
