Automatic Doll Automaton

chapter 11



“Ha ha ha ha ha! How are you?! Aren’t they awesome!?”

Running along the wall, the excited Carrot looked back and saw an adult-sized automaton flapping its green cape and running.

“Have fun! I’m having fun now! I’m happy!”

Seeing Green explain how he feels now using all the words he knows, Carrot was delighted to think of himself five years ago.

Carrot, who was running through a quiet city at night, suddenly slowed down.

“Walk quietly.”

“Why is that?”

“From here on, it’s a residential area, so the guards go on patrol at night. If you run noisily and get caught, the guard automaton will chase you, but it’s incredibly fast.”

“Are you faster than us?”

“of course. The world is wide and there are plenty of crazy people.”

“Now is that a joke? something enjoyable.”

“Oops, I was kidding. Are you funny?”

Green was delighted.

“Yes, it was funny.”

Carrot was also happy. After walking around the streets for a long time, Carrot stopped at Maria’s inn and went back behind the building to a building built on the other side of the yard.

The light was bright outside the window.

“It’s a meeting place for the women’s association. I’m making your combat uniform here.”

When I sneakily opened the door, the women, Adam, and Lena were buried in clutter before raising their heads.

“uh? Carrot!”

“hello. You guys have a lot of trouble.”

Let’s say hello with a smile, and the women pretend to know.

“Carrot is here.”

“Yes, Mrs. Jem. how is it?”

“It just started. I’m about to finish today and do the rest during the day. There are young people here, so it’s a lot easier.”

“is it so? Great. Adam?”

“Don’t talk. My fingers hurt and I think I’m going to die.”

“That’s because you can’t sew. Diligence is an essential virtue for men.”

“Ho-ho-ho!”

Carrot laughed at the laughter of the women and introduced Hood, who was standing next to him.

“It’s an automaton that will wear the combat uniform you’re making. Her name is Green.”

Green, who took off his hood, nodded.

“Nice to meet you. Green. Thank you for making my combat uniform.”

“It’s a bright automaton.”

“Can I go around now? Crank said he was fixing it.”

Carrot sat haphazardly on the floor, and Green followed.

“It took me two days to finish it. Right now I’m moving and working on adjustments. By the way, Lena looks very sleepy.”

Looking at Lena who was dozing off, Adam sighed.

“Once you move big, you can hardly recover your stamina. I have to sleep for three days.”

“I’m not just going to sleep, I’m going to have to eat something good for my body.”

These were the words of the woman who was attaching iron plates to leather pants next to her. Carrot, who was listening, said.

“Should I try some health potions?”

“It’s a bit expensive for our situation…”

“What, what is good friends? Crank will have something. I’ll bring it to you tomorrow. Feed me some.”

Adam looked at Carrot for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

“I feel like the notions I have built up over the past few days are being shattered. thank you carrot I will not forget.”

“What kind of idea is that?”

“It’s not all bad guys in the world. There are rare but good people.”

The women who were sewing smiled happily. Carrot asked.

“also?”

“That automatons and humans can be friends.”

Carrot laughs hahahaha.

“okay. But don’t go around talking about it too openly. Because I am ashamed.”

At Carrot’s shot, Adam felt embarrassed, and the women laughed out loud.

Suddenly, Green interrupted.

“Carrot, I am happy now. Very happy and enjoyable. Are you just kidding again?”

“okay. Seriously, something funny. Isn’t it fun to talk about words?”

“okay. That’s right. It’s fun. It’s a fun one. I will not forget.”

Maria, who turned her hand, stood up.

“late. Let go of your hands and wake up, go to sleep and come tomorrow. And Green comes back tomorrow evening. Because the road has to match.”

“All right. ma’am.”

“It happened again in the evening.”

Early in the morning, Crank, waking up and drinking the green tea Carrot had made, listening to the story of the previous night, saw Green.

“So what’s the oddity?”

“The angle of motion of the left leg and left arm is about 15 degrees less than that of the right. and···.”

After writing down what he heard from Green, Crank immediately began making adjustments. Meanwhile, Carrot prepared breakfast.

“I have to go to the guild after a while.”

“Ah, did I say I had to go to the midterm report?”

Carrot, who had been frying fried eggs in bacon and boiling bean sprout soup, turned his head.

“Okay, continue the operation test from last night. I’ll be back around lunchtime. It’s done. Green, move your arms and legs.”

Green, who raised his upper body on the workbench, moved his arms and legs and said.

“It is within the allowable tolerance for each operation.”

“good. It’s a new part, so it’s easy to adjust.”

“The rice is done! eat!”

Green asked, watching Crank eagerly eating his breakfast.

“Can automatons eat something?”

Carrot laughed at the absurd question, and Crank shook his head.

“No, you guys don’t have esophagus and stomach. There are only air pockets that make voices… no wait,”

Crank thought for a moment and said.

“Come to think of it, I heard that the pet automatons used by noble families in the capital can eat at least tea and snacks. I’m sure there’s a way to do something, but I don’t know the details. If you have a chance, related materials… Add a fried egg.”

“Yeah yea! Add fries, oh! Drink all the cabbage juice there!”

Watching Crank gulping down cabbage juice, Green thought he would like to have a Master like this. And again, I found the idea strange.

Crank, who arrived at the guild at the appointed time, met with the party who had arrived beforehand and was escorted to the guild manager’s room.

“I never dreamed that I would be able to face the guild leader this often until recently.”

Those were the words of the ghetto. Sitting at a large desk and reviewing documents, the guild leader laughed happily.

“Straighten your shoulders. You are the back of our guild.”

Not everyone specifically pointed out that the word mid-level was grandiose. The guild chief’s interim report was simple.

“Departure is in 4 days as planned. The Ark City Maine Coon and the expedition departed from the trail will stop by our city, take a day off, and set off together. The Trogen Expedition is scheduled to meet locally, and the total number of expedition members in the three cities is approximately 140, and about 60 automatons.”

The ghetto was stunned and stopped laughing.

“Huh, that’s great. If we include our city, there will be about 160 people.”

“It’s frustrating, but it’s not an incomprehensible situation. The place to explore is Dragon Rare. Any idea what’s coming? I don’t even take out the country.”

Everyone nodded in affirmation. The guild leader continued.

“So, how was the dragon rare you saw? Honestly, did it look like there was a lot to pick up?”

While looking at each other, Crank opened his mouth.

“The Orcs, who are followers, are armed with dragon scales and bones, so if you look for them, you might come up with something more. I was in a hurry and couldn’t find anything shiny. However, if there is something personally memorable, it is the bronze door and the interior space.”

“Yes, is that the door you opened when entering the orc den?”

“It was night outside, but it was day inside. I’m not sure, but it’s some kind of spatial magic. Molly?”

Wizard Molly, who had been listening quietly, nodded.

“It’s not my field of expertise, but I think the door itself is connected to a certain space. Since you said that the night and day are different, it is highly likely that the space was created on the other side of the continent.”

“In fact, there were several more bronze doors when viewed from the inside. That means there are multiple entrances.”

Toast murmured.

“uh? Then, if you go through that bronze door…”

“toast! Speak a little louder!”

What everyone vaguely guessed came out of Toast’s mouth.

“If you can remove that door and move it to another city, you can go through that space and come out to the place where the other door is installed. Wow, that’s a groundbreaking means of transportation.”

“yes! Groundbreaking! What an amazing discovery! It is the discovery of an item more valuable than hundreds of millions of liz worth of treasure! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Watching the guild leader jump up from his desk, bend his body, and show off his madness, everyone wondered if everyone would be like that if they went there.

Crank said.

“Molly, can you move that?”

“It works for now, so we have to experiment with things. If all goes well,”

The guild leader intervened.

“There will be as many direct portals as there are bronze doors! At the same time, you will make a name for yourself as an adventurer who made great discoveries! Of course, the guild will also praise your achievements and give you many benefits!”

“I hate being famous. It is burdensome with great expectations.”

“no! Crank When you talk like that! As the master of the Argon Adventurers’ Guild’s legendary automaton Carrot, you are already famous enough to be famous! It is one of the signs of our guild!”

Looking at the excited guild leader, the 2-meter giant kept his mouth shut. Toast asked softly.

“Crank, isn’t it nice to be famous?”

“It varies from person to person, but not by my standards.”

“Okay, let me tell you. They look the same age.”

“I don’t like it.”

“Big! My sincerity was cold! Someone you can’t get close to!”

Toast, rejected by Crank, sat down and sobbed, and Molly stroked his head.

“He’s a pitiful guy in many ways.”

The true guild leader sat down at his desk again and said.

“Please keep quiet about this for a while. It is true that nothing has been properly revealed yet.”

“Now that the word has come out, Guild Leader. I hope that Carrot and I will be removed from the official announcement.”

“But in the mouths of men . . .”

“It doesn’t matter. It is sufficient to subtract it from the official records and announcements.”

“All right.”

“me too.”

Adam raised his hand.

“Are you too?”

“yes. It’s good to make a name for yourself, but I’m a bit reluctant to be too famous. We’re here to make money, not to be famous.”

The guild leader nodded while watching Lena’s hair quietly hiding behind people’s backs.

“rest of it! I wish I could be famous. As you know, adventurers are a part of life.”

“Right!? This is what an ambitious adventurer looks like! Gugure is shining nicely today! Ghetto!”

With the cheering guild leader in front of him, the bald ghetto laughed bitterly.
