Automatic Doll Automaton

Three automatons with fierce eyes were hiding among the trees and ran out after receiving a signal.

Ting-! Ching!

Carrot runs in the lead with a huge two-handed sword that sparks every time the tip touches the floor.

“Trolls regenerate, so you have to completely separate your head from your heart!”

“Know!”

“Hereafter alumni!”

The automatons with black and red hair also ran while holding two-handed swords of the same shape, widened their distance, and soon faced the screaming trolls.

“aaa!!!”

Carrot, who flew up from the recoil of running, swung her large two-handed sword and cut through the thick neck and arm of the troll lifting the stone axe.

Fufuaaa!!!

Red blood splattered all over the place, and Carrot, covered in it, lightly handled a knife larger than his body and raised it over his small shoulder.

“Ahahahahaha! After all, you must have good equipment!”

thud-! The troll’s body, which lost its head, fell to the ground.

A trio of automatons ran amok in the peaceful troll lair, while Crank fired long-range support from a distance with his massive longbow.

Tung-! Tung-!

It is the same as the one used by beginner adventurer Koby in the past. The abnormally large bow shoots arrows with tremendous kinetic energy and penetrates the skin of quite a few monsters, but it is expensive, heavy, and requires a certain amount of physical strength from the user, so it is difficult to handle.

Crank murmured lightly pulling the bow.

“Every time I pull it, the load on my back and shoulders feels good. This is a good exercise.”

Tung! Tung!

puck! puck!

The two-handed swords of the automatons flew at the troll, who was suffering from arrows stuck in his body.

“Kyaaa!!!!!”

“Quooo!!”

The troll wielded a stone axe, but it posed no threat to the man-sized, faster, and stronger automatons. Then one of the trolls screamed and started running towards the crank, ignoring the automatons.

“Queee!!!!”

A few arrows were fired, but the troll did not stop. So Crank shouted as he tore up the scroll he had prepared.

“Dig = ant hell.”

Fuhuaaak!!

The running troll was enveloped in dust and disappeared.

A huge pit was dug in the place where the dust cleared, and a troll fell into it and screamed, but it was hard to get out.

“Wow, can’t he come up?”

“It doesn’t look very deep.”

Crank added as the black-haired automaton, which had been chasing and missing the troll, spoke and looked down into the pit.

“It is a connection between the prohibition of climbing and digging magic. Expensive, but the effect is outstanding. Have you done everything?”

“No, Master, I came here for a while because I was afraid it would be dangerous. Shall we rob the cave?”

“okay. Let’s deal with all the young ones too. Even if you let it live, it will only eat people. Geiger.”

“I get it.”

With flowing black hair, Automaton Geiger ran out holding a two-handed sword. But Carrot looked down at the troll struggling to climb the pit.

“How do you handle that? leave it alone?”

“No, it’s difficult to leave useless vengeance behind.”

Crank tore the fireball scroll.

Whoops-!

Dust flew in all directions, and Crank walked out waving his hands. By that time, the troll subjugation was over. Crank did the same, but Carrot was surprised again.

“and! Automaton is great. There are two more like me, so it’s worth it, right? They robbed the medium-sized troll den at once.”

“Honestly, I kinda think so too.”

“gauge!”

A red-haired automaton came running, looking around the stony mountain lined with decapitated trolls.

“What are you doing? Meister Crank.”

“How many trolls are there?”

“I don’t know what the inside of the cave is, but there are currently only 32 confirmed ones.”

“okay.”

After a while, Geiger came out of the cave.

“The internal subjugation is over.”

“The loot?”

“booty?”

“Ah! of course! let’s go! I’ll brush it off and come back!”

“Take this.”

Crank pulled out a glass marble the size of an adult’s fist from his backpack.

“It’s a special magic bomb. Turn around and put it in the center.”

“okay.”

While Carrot and Geiger entered the cave of Stone Mountain, Crank looked at the fallen troll’s body and opened his mouth.

“I can’t deal with any of this properly, but it’s amazing.”

“Thanks to your hard work.”

These were the words of Gage, who was standing beside him.

“This is what we were able to do thanks to Meister Crank. This body was repaired by you. Currently, all performance values far exceed those of off-the-shelf products.”

“You say something nice to hear.”

Crank, a little embarrassed by the automaton’s praise, turned his head.

“Hurray! We are here!”

Carrot and Geiger pulled out of the cave with something wrapped in leather.

“These guys don’t leave people alive. There were only bones. This is the junk that was rolling around inside and I don’t know why, this is it? what you were looking for.”

Stacked with junk in a leather sack were the separated upper and lower halves of a hardskin automaton.

“Were you in a cave?”

“Maybe he found it by accident and brought it in as a toy?”

“There is no possibility. Because I was seriously injured at the time, I decided to pick it up later.”

“By the way, whose was this?”

Crank said while taking out his notebook.

“I don’t know. In the first place, when I first came to the subjugation, I found it in the crevice of the rock, so I found out after investigating it. This stony mountain is quite famous as a monster’s nest. There have been several subjugations of other monsters to the same place.”

“Ah, so this is a monster-flavored restaurant? Are these like the far-off footsteps of our ancestors who don’t even know when they came?”

“So that’s it. Have you left the bomb crystal ball?”

“I went to the center of the cave.”

Nodding, Crank fetched the wagon, loaded the loot, and moved away to tear up the scroll.

And looking at the stone mountain, he snapped his fingers.

Just-!

Kook-!

The horses were startled, but Geiger and Gage were holding the reins, so they didn’t run wild. Everyone turned their heads to see the stone mountain collapsed.

“Oh oh! awesome! Finger snap!”

Crank said while looking at the stony mountain from which clouds of dust rose.

“it’s okay. It will be quiet for a while.”

And madness lingered in Crank’s eyes as he turned his head and looked at the fallen troll’s corpse. Crank raised his hand and pointed at the troll.

“Let’s cut off some of that guy’s thighs.”

“why?”

“I heard before, but people in the southern regions say they catch and eat monsters.”

“Are you eating too?”

“I eat, but other people in this region don’t eat well. Remember those people who were freaked out by scorpion legs on expeditions before? In a world where there is not enough land for farming and food is scarce, unbalanced eating caused by the fixation of common sense is dangerous.”

“ah! i get it! You’re trying to improve the eating habits of the people in the neighborhood!”

Crank laughed at Carrot’s words.

“I am lucky. With a smart automaton by my side.”

In the end, they cut off the troll’s thighs and put them on the wagon before they could leave.

Hearing Carrot’s voice chattering nonstop like a sparrow, Gage, who was sitting in the luggage compartment, was driving the wagon.

“What are you going to do with this automaton?”

“I’d like to take it apart, take a look inside, and bring it back to life if I can. Gage, wouldn’t it be nice if there were many strong allies by your side?”

“Of course.”

“okay. It is miserable to have no power.”

“Meister Crank is pessimistic. It’s like the old commander.”

At Gage’s point, Carrot laughed and clapped.

“and! that’s right! But our cranks are also romantics.”

“I’d like to check it out, but it’s a pity that I don’t see it often anymore.”

“You can write a letter.”

Crank, who had been quietly driving the carriage, turned the pitcher.

“That’s a good idea. I will leave paper and pen with you, so send me a letter from time to time to let me know about the situation in the village.”

“A letter? All right.”

Then Geiger turned his head.

“I don’t know text. I want to write a letter too.”

“what? It’s easy, then I…! no! You can ask the locals! You have to study and teach to correct your blemishes, right?”

“Oh oh! crank! Are you here!”

“Carrot!”

“hahahahaha! How are the locals?! I heard that potato farming is going very well!”

“It’s all thanks to you guys! ha ha ha!”

“welcome! Uncle Crank!”

The village chief and villagers of the pioneer village Mekro came to the well in the middle of the village to welcome Crank and Carrot. And when I got off the wagon, I saw two automatons.

The automaton with scattered black hair had a butterfly-shaped hairpin on its head, and the other had splendid red hair and a yellow headband tied around its head.

It was a gift from Gunpi and Shushu who came back before leaving.

The townsfolk expressed their impressions after seeing the automaton dressed in a pretty but tactical outfit.

“and! Pretty!”

“Is there a male version? It feels a little strange because they all look like girls.”

“and! It’s pretty again!”

“awesome!”

“Is this the automaton ordered by our town this time?”

“What is that hair ornament?”

Krank, who met the village chief, lowered his back and said lowly.

“Two automatons that have finished overhaul are 20 million Leeds. No credit installments this time.”

Villagers were no longer afraid of money. Carrot, who was looking around, said.

“Somehow, there are more people in the neighborhood?”

“There has been an increase in the number of immigrants recently. Thanks to you guys.”

“oh.”

Crank nodded, accepting the heavy bag of money brought by the village chief’s son.

“I heard rumors that gratitude farming is booming. That’s good. I need to count the money, so I’ll rent an empty house.”

“There are no empty houses anymore.”

The village chief spread his arms and laughed hahahaha.

“There are too many people and we need to build a new house! Thank you! Thank you so much! It makes me want to erect a statue of you guys!”

“Please bear with that.”

Crank, scratching his head, went to the village chief’s house to talk. In the meantime, Carrot, who was left in the village, looked around and shouted.

“ruler! Let’s test! Where has everyone gone!”

“here! here!”

people walked out There were a few old people, including a bunch of young people who seemed to be more than 20 people.

Carrot gave a big smile.

“Oh wow! Has it grown this much?!”

“We taught each other!”

“Bomba taught me well again!”

“Awesome! good job! ha ha ha!”

Carrot asked.

“What about that bomba?”

“I went out on patrol.”

“Yes, indeed! Is Gunfi’s mother here?”

A child ran away.

“I’ll call you!”

After a while, Carrot introduced Geiger after seeing the woman holding the child’s hand.

“Automaton Geiger, this heat-resistant wig is made from dry skin hair.”

“Eggmoney! Of our daughter?!”

“Yes, I came here when I was making wigs because I have a family in the village. Can you feel my daughter’s special heart?”

The woman, who was staring at the dignified automaton with scattered black hair, wiped away tears with the back of her hand. Seeing that, Geiger asked.

“Why are you crying? I am not your daughter.”

The villagers were astonished.

“No, speak!”

“Oh, you both speak well. And, Geiger, humans have empathy for things, and they stir up feelings with them, which angers them or gives them comfort?”

Geiger, who had been listening quietly, spoke to Anak.

“Don’t cry. We have come to protect you.”

“…She resembles my daughter even down to the bluntness.”

Geiger didn’t understand Anak’s words, and Carrot giggled.
