Many people gathered to share stories and increase their adventures. Crank listened carefully to the story about the remnants of the Black Mage.
Here Carrot met Olive again. It was the first time I saw it last fall.
“Carrot?”

Olive spoke first. Turning her head, Carrot looked at Olive quietly. Then he raised his hands up and screamed, startling Olive.
“Wow!”
“Mush?!”
Surprised, Olive took a picture of her buttock. Laughing, Carrot took off her glove and held out her hand, but this time it was a white hand.
So Olive stared at the hand with rather curious eyes.
“Hello, Olive. long time no see. how have you been doing?”
“Yes.”
Carrot smiled brightly as she looked at Olive as she stood up holding her hand.
“and! Are you a bit taller? You were almost like me last year.”
“uh? is it?”
“My Olive is now 11 years old too! After a while, you will look like your mother and grow up to be a beauty!”
The drunken ghetto rejoiced. Carrot, who looked up at him and smiled, winked at Olive.
“Olives are good. Because I can grow up to be a beauty. What if you grow older than me and don’t recognize me? Should I come over often and get my face stamped?”
“You come to play often? So are you my friend? Will you be my friend?”
Olive said with a bright smile. Carrot smiled and nodded. Adults around me saw it and laughed.
“Wow, Olive would be nice. Carrot is your friend.”
“This guy is a bit dangerous, is he okay? Carrot, don’t teach Olive anything strange.”
“Take care of the olives too. This guy is harsh. It’s a swear word.”
Carrot put her hand on her waist and laughed.
“A linguist said that the degree of development of a language can be judged by how many curse words there are! You can’t turn away just because it’s dirty! Actually, that’s our life too, right? Knowing and being afraid of something and unknowingly pushing at it are two different things!”
The adventurers made faces of surprise. A man saw Olive.
“Maybe he will be a good teacher for Olive. As long as you don’t teach cursing.”
“Ah! Are you not cursing? There are so many more provocative words!”
The ghetto who was watching smiled happily. My wife didn’t like it, but from what I saw, it was because Carrot had a more humane side than most people.
You will be a good friend and teacher.
“Oh, everyone is gathered.”
Romani and Ulpa arrived late. The people welcomed them, and were very surprised to see the man standing behind Romani.
“omg! Guard Captain!?”
“Oh, hmm! I stopped by for a moment to thank you for your hard work.”
People couldn’t keep their mouths shut. Romani laughed hahahaha and introduced Celine 1st Guards Commander.
“I picked it up on my way home from work. It would have been difficult to wipe out the remnants of the Black Mage without the guard captain. He negotiated behind the scenes at the final payment line.”
However, his introduction took a back seat. The adventurers gathered in the garden were more concerned about the rumors between Celine and Romani.
Two people like that appear in the same place!
“A fait accompli! A fait accompli has happened! Ughhhhh!”
Through the crowd, Carrot ran to Celine. Its red hair flutters happily upon meeting its original owner.
“Captain of the guard! nice to meet you. How is it going?!”
“Oh, is it Carrot? How are you today?”
Carrot, who had turned into an axe eye, smiled and put her hand to her mouth.
“I’m asking if things are going well with Uncle Romani. Kekeke.”
People’s ears have grown enormously. In addition, Celine’s face flushed. But Celine made up her mind not to be shy anymore. She looked up at Romani once and nodded.
He didn’t say anything. He just nodded.
That answer was enough.
People were delighted. It was almost to the point of riot.
“Reception like this! It’s a reception!”
“Wow?! hey! Where did you come from!?”
An aide in charge of hiding appeared in plain clothes. A few guards were also sneaking in. The captain of the guard Celine was terrified, but the adventurers who gathered together had a happy expression and time while watching the two people talk and chemistry.
* * *
By the time the mood was ripe, the cranks only said hello to the Romani and the ghetto and sneaked around halfway through.
“There are people waiting in the studio. I will worry if you are late.”
“You have a family too. That’s a good thing.”
Ghetto and Romani rejoiced. Crank just nodded without answering.
Upon returning to the studio, Tuna, who had already prepared the meal, greeted the returning guests with a bright smile.
“Oh, come on! The rice is ready.”
“okay.”
“As expected, our house is the best.”
“Yes. hehehe.”
Tuna, who had been waiting for them the whole time, smiled happily. Crank, who sat down, looked at Venus lying on the workbench and asked.
“Venus is back. Did you change the heat shield? What happened?”
“I went to Mrs. Garnet’s store to look for you and changed it. He said he wanted to explore Southern technology.”
“hmm. I understand.”
“Wow, I came back with an arrow stuck in it. I exchanged the damaged artificial muscle inside, but what about the hole in the armor plate?”
“It’s best to replace it, but there are also ways to repair it. I will teach you tomorrow.”
“huh.”
Families gathered in one place sat down and started eating while sharing stories. said Carrot, holding the kettle and filling the water bowl.
“I’ll go out for a while and come back. I need to bring the borrowed book to the library.”
“I want to be with you too.”
Rarely does Charles intervene. Crank allowed.
“Yes, sometimes going out is important. If you stay at home too much, you become like Tuna.”
“Oh, no. I’m also going out these days. A bar, a bakery, a drug store, Lord Gorgon’s Witch’s Workshop…”
Crank opened his eyes wide.
“Gorgon? Witch’s Workshop?”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you. It happened while you were down.”
After hearing Carrot’s story, Crank left a short review.
“Witches are erratic.”
“So it’s not dangerous. If you have time later, go and say hello.”
“okay. it was better You don’t have to go far to buy potions.”
“Would you be surprised to hear the price?”
After the family’s meal was over and the dishes were washed, Carrot shared the pile of books with Charles and left the workshop.
Arriving at the library after walking down the street at night, Carrot found a familiar automaton on the roadside near the library building and looked up at Charles.
“Do you want to go in first? I have business.”
“All right.”
After sending Charles away, Carrot walked over to Ulpa, who was standing under a cherry tree in full bloom.
“Wolpa?”
Automaton Ulpa, wearing a long orange heat-resistant wig, said without turning his head.
“Carrot.”
“What are you doing on the roadside?”
“I’m on an operation.”
“Operations?”
“Eup-?!”
Surprised by the sudden moaning, Carrot turned his head to find the tied-up aide and his guards hidden in the shadows of the building.
“Ugh! town!”
“Huh? Ulpa? The guard sister over there has scary eyes?”
“quietly.”
Ulpa turned her head and raised her finger. Wanting to see what he was looking at, Carrot poked his head out of the tree and discovered something surprising.
It was the figure of Captain Celine, who was crying under the light of a street lamp, and Romani, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.
“Puff-Puff-Proposal?!”
“Just started, I won’t let anyone get in the way.”
Ulpa is one of the famous automatons of the guild, helping the master Romani to investigate and solve complicated problems or incidents involving institutions, organizations, and countries, and boasts high skills in various fields, from information gathering to combat. The ulpa emitted red light from its eyes.
“I will never let you interfere with the love of the masters. I will definitely protect them.”
Carrot, who had been looking up at Ulpa, who showed a frighteningly strong determination, now began to watch the two of them.
Exciting!
Romani took out the ring and said it again.
“Let’s get married.”
Celine, who was wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, barely opened her mouth.
“Sniff, this, come now, this, what do you do when you do something like this…”
“I want to grow old with you. I will give you the rest of my life, give me the rest of yours.”
Shocked by those words, Celine opened her mouth wide and wept bitterly. Romani laughed and waited for her answer.
“Uh, uh, hey, me, I’m bad at things like cooking! Good at cleaning and doing laundry…!”
“it’s okay. I am good at it.”
“Why, why are you talking now? If only I had done it five years earlier…!”
Instead of answering, Romani just laughed. With a messed up face and even a runny nose dripping from her nose, she nodded before long.
Romani, smiling brightly, takes her left hand.
Carrot, who was watching it from a distance, became the ax eye.
“Oh no! Ulpa! Let’s shake this tree! It should be left as an unforgettable memory!”
Ulpa nodded and grabbed the cherry tree and started shaking it. Carrot, who had jumped up the tree, grabbed a large branch and shook it wildly.
shoot-!
The gentle spring breeze that blew just in time carried away the pouring cherry blossom petals, which began to scatter towards the two under the light of the mercury lamp.
Amidst the magical cherry blossom petals, Romani placed the ring on the fourth of Celine’s left hand. Celine, who was trembling and looking at the rings on her fingers, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then raised her hands to hold Romani’s face and kissed him deeply.
Celine, who removed her face, looked away with a flushed face and spoke in a crawling tone.
“······There is something I want to have when I get married.”
“What is it? I’ll get you anything.”
Celine turned her head and put her hand on her stomach, now facing Romani.
“Oh, baby.”
This time Romani’s face brightened. I thought I felt like my nose was about to explode. With his mouth closed, he hugged the small Celine and said.
“Mmm! No, let’s try!”
The two people, who were married at a late age, quickly walked down the street at night with fluttering cherry blossom petals.
Hanging from a branch of a cherry blossom tree near the library, Carrot lowered her head. Below was Ulpa with her orange heat-resistant wig blowing in the wind.
The two automatons above and below the tree met their eyes. Then he swung his arms and touched his palms.
match-!
* * *
“Is everyone ready for the spring picnic?”
At the entrance to Maria’s inn, Carrot raised her hand on her waist and looked down at the people. Most of them were women, each carrying a large basket or sack around their waist.
You can also see a lot of playful children.
“excuse me! Can I really take them with me?”
“of course! It’s different from last year! Let me introduce you! Tin giant friendly to allies, Crank!”
A two-meter-tall giant with an overturned tin helmet was working on the wagon, then turned the helmet and gave it a slight knock.
“Next, the combat automaton Charles! Lotte! Venus!”
From inside the inn, automatons, fully armed in combat uniforms, walked out. Carrot exclaimed excitedly.
“Next, a female knight in a steam cloak. Ariete.”
Iron Cruc-!
Ariete appeared after completing the 3rd repair work of Shion. The armor plate was padded with plate-grade armor, and a blue skirt was also made and attached with a fabric made of heat-resistant material. So overall, it has been changed to be more like an armored knight.
“Oh my goodness······! cool.”
“Well, thank you for watching. It has been repaired this time.”
It contained all the codes that both men and women would like, and boys as well as girls were mesmerized by her appearance.
“And finally, the first assistant in our workshop! Housekeeper! Tuna!”
“Euhehehe…!”
Putting on a hood, Tuna was already sitting on the carriage. Tuna also expressed his intention to participate in picking spring greens this time. The reason was simple.
“Hey, herbs! Rather than paying money to buy, it’s better to collect quality things yourself. Uh, I want to go.”
“Oh, and he’s a bad person in the corner of the room, so he’s very shy, so please be careful.”
They couldn’t see their faces properly because of the hood, but the girls and women nodded.

After the introduction, Carrot raised his arms and shouted.
“how is it? Are you sure? Armed this much, it’s at the level of a tolerable medium-sized party! Don’t worry and enjoy your spring picnic! Now, then, the president of the Argon 7th Street Women’s Association will say something.”
As Carrot stepped aside, Maria in work clothes laughed and said:
“As an escort to take the local ladies out to pick vegetables, it’s too grand, but we’re good. Let’s go.”
Crank has prepared two wagons. After picking up the people sitting in huddles, the wagon set off right away.
After passing through the main road and reaching the gate, I saw quite a few people going outside.
“What kind of automaton are you going to ride over there?”
“It’s the women’s club that Maria is the president of, and they said she asked an adventurer she knew.”
“hello!”
“Are you leaving too?”
The people sitting in the carriage recognized each other, said hello, and chatted while laughing hahahaha. After a while, it was the turn of the cranks.
The gate guard, Walter, looked around the carriage and said.
“You guys are getting more and more colorful. You look great.”
“Ahem!”
Walter and his guards giggled as Carrot stood up from the coachman’s cab and raised his nose.
