Automatic Doll Automaton

Looking at Ariete’s headdress, Carrot raised her finger and asked while looking at the crank.

“Are you pretty? Where did you get that?”

“Real tiaras are expensive. I tried to imitate the shape with the remaining materials. The decorations there are the sensory organs responsible for the automaton’s sense of sight, hearing, and smell. Zion, can you see me?”

“Yes, it looks good.”

Crank nodded and looked at Ariete.

“Ariete.”

Ariete, who was thrilled as she looked around at the automaton covering her body, turned her head.

“You command. I understand when you speak. Just stand up.”

“That, yes. Zion, wake up.”

Get stuck…! Queek…!

“Oooh!”

Tuna clenched her fists and cheered, and the crank next to her raised her mouth inside the helmet.

Ariete, who got new arms and legs, fully stood up from the workbench.

After simplifying the connection of the rest of the skeleton with an exoskeleton, leaving only the arms and legs of the automaton, and then inserting Ariete into the empty body space and fixing the remaining arms and legs, the driving part of the automaton operates below the elbow and below the knee. was

I tried to fit Ariete’s body as much as possible, but due to the nature of the exoskeleton, I couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of heterogeneity in the exterior.

It’s like having metal wires running all over your body.

“There will be restrictions on the choice of clothing, but there will be no major inconvenience in daily life.”

“He is the king of the end of the complete stopper.”

It was Carrot’s impression, and Tuna and Crank laughed.

“My, my bar, how about heat dissipation measures?”

When Tuna asked a question, Shion answered.

“Current heat dissipation rate is 12%, and the heat dissipation function is operating normally.”

Behind Ariete’s head is a blue ribbon cut from a heat dissipation cape. When wearing the sensory tiara, it was naturally located behind the head and was doing an excellent job of both decoration and heat dissipation.

Carrot, who was watching, raised his arm.

“There is a full-length mirror in the back. Look at you guys.”

Ariete, who was examining herself with a dumbfounded expression, turned her head when she heard that. After figuring out where the mirror was, she said.

“Shion, turn left. There is a mirror at 8 o’clock in the rear.”

Ariete, who slowly stepped forward, twisted her waist, and Shion, reacting to the sense of difference, turned around. As soon as they succeed in turning back with the cooperation of the two, their images are reflected in front of the mirror.

Black arms and legs on her new white body,

“Stuck again. Arms and legs…!”

Ariete’s face contorted abruptly, and she finally burst into tears.

“Ahh! Aww…! thank you···! really···! thank you···! Thank you so much everyone…!”

Everyone laughed happily this time.

said Crank, arms crossed.

“It is not over yet. Now let’s start the experiment. Carrot.”

“yep!”

“Try some exercise in the yard in front of the studio. Walking, running, jumping, everything possible. And let me know if there is anything strange or uncomfortable about it.”

“okay! let’s go! Complex life form!”

Tuna opened her eyes wide.

“Composite life form!”

“It appeared in a book I read yesterday, and it is said that the concept is made up of two different life forms. What do you call a human soldier on a horse?”

“cavalry.”

Ariete murmured. says Carrot as she walks holding her new hand.

“A cavalryman is a hybrid of man and horse. Just like you now.”

“I am an automaton. Am I also a living being?”

Automaton Shion’s voice flowed from Ariete’s body.

“of course! Even if our appearance has changed a bit, we are living beings. An elf woman I know did that. You don’t have to bleed to be alive, Shion, we are alive.”

Zion did not answer. The three of them started to move their bodies around in the open space of the workshop. Tuna, who had been watching him, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Composite Life…”

“What are you doing?”

“That, it was one of the research subjects there. complex life. Arcs of different life forms, mixing.”

“Is that why you created such monsters? But Carrot’s example is just the concept of a symbiotic relationship. Rather than that, let’s organize the studio a bit.”

Crank turned and Tuna jumped after him. Crank stopped and looked back at her.

“Tuna, once again, if your identity is revealed, you will die. this is for sure I don’t even know Carrot. It’s a secret between me and you Be careful.”

“Uh, uh, uh, yes.”

Tuna has a nervous face, but soon smiles.

“Hey, don’t worry. Me, I’m a bar fool, but I’m not dumb. Gee, really.”

Around the time the workroom is being cleaned up, Crank looks at Ariete, who came back sweating profusely, with arms crossed.

“How are you?”

“No problem.”

Krank looked at Ariete’s prompt reply and continued.

“Ariete, you can improve the problem only by talking. don’t hesitate Are there really any problems?”

“…As expected, my legs hurt a little. The arm is fine.”

Crank nodded, but Tuna answered.

“Well, the bone of the cut surface, the bone presses against the skin, yes, it will hurt less if calluses form.”

“I put a cushion on the inside, but it doesn’t look good. Let’s find out something else.”

“That, that’s a good bird for me, I have an idea.”

After receiving the feedback, Ariete nodded. Now Zion said.

“I have mobility errors in my right knee, left ankle and left elbow. And the left thumb and middle finger are completely unbent.”

“I get it. I will adjust.”

Ariete replied.

“I will make a move and report any problems I find.”

“Yeah, I wish I could have moved like a real limb, but I’m sorry. This was the limit of my ability.”

Embarrassed, Ariete stuck out her neck and shouted.

“no! don’t say that! How, uh, how…! Go, pay it back…! Whoops! Whoa! thank you···! I, thank you so much…!”

“ah! You’re crying again! crank! Why do you keep ringing!”

“This woman has a lot of tears.”

Crank, who sat Ariete in the studio and adjusted the movement errors of her arms and legs, opened her mouth.

“Ariete, I will tell you the routine you need to do every day starting today.”

“okay! What can I do? I will do anything!”

Here’s what Crank gave to Ariete:

First of all, you should be able to wear Zion by yourself.

This wasn’t a big deal. Shion in the exoskeleton state is unstable, but can be maneuvered alone, and after learning the order of wearing it once, he was able to pick her up and put her inside his body.

From the second time on, it was hard work, eating while wearing the Zion, dressing and undressing, going to the bathroom, and other things,

“It’s just training for adaptation to daily life.”

“right. It will take a lot of practice going forward as the action goes through the automaton once.”

“So what are you going to do with that now?”

After thinking for a while, Crank said lowly.

“Whether you like it or not, many things will improve if you stay together. Looking at the situation, I’m thinking of settling it down in the pioneer village of Mekro next year.”

“Because I’m not feeling well, I don’t think I can do it without you, the producer, right next to me?”

“Everyone needs to stand alone.”

“Why don’t you just take that as your wife? Do you have big breasts too?”

Crank shook his head as he watched Ariete stumble and fall while struggling to put on a skirt.

“The way he spoke didn’t seem like a normal person. If you are aristocrats, it will be a headache.”

“Okay, so what about that slut?”

At the place Carrot pointed to, there was Tuna, who supported Ariete’s body with her left hand while chewing on the thumb nail of her right hand.

Crank’s helmet tilted slightly with his arms crossed.

“If I had to choose between the two, I’d prefer that dark woman.”

“Oh Hong?”

“But I don’t mind taking advantage of someone’s situation in trouble to satisfy their needs.”

“why? Doesn’t everyone live like that?”

Crank looked down at Carrot, who was standing beside him with his arms crossed, and answered.

“This is a matter of my personal ethics. As you said, usually everyone lives like that. But why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”

“Yeah, I heard that Fluid is getting married. I heard from Melissa.”

Understanding Carrot’s sudden remark, Crank nodded.

“Is the opponent Jake?”

“Go there.”

“For people in this harsh world where monsters roam outside the walls, having a family quickly brings stability to life and safety, so it is an inevitable choice.”

Carrot raises her head. Crank met Carrot’s eyes.

“But I am an adventurer. Since he is risking his life, the profit is good, so he can satisfy intellectual curiosity like you, but on the contrary, he can die at any time. So, having a family will come after laying the groundwork a bit more.”

Carrot, who opened her mouth and looked up at the crank, repeated his words in the past.

‘If I hadn’t met Carrot, I would have had a normal family.’

‘Carrot is my greatest masterpiece.’

Carrot, who put her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache, muttered lowly.

“I feel an unknown responsibility in your life.”

Crank, who untied his arms, smiled and turned around.

“My life is mine. I made the choice, and I will bear the responsibility. So there is no need for you to feel responsible.”

After speaking, Crank threw off his clothes and started doing push-ups in the open space in front of the studio, wearing only black underwear.

Tuna was startled when she accidentally turned her head and discovered Crank’s atrocities.

“Crank Crank?!”

“Oh, never mind. you’re exercising I haven’t been in a while.”

“Ahhhhh! Ooh, exercise? Me, yeo, can I look around for a bit? Churup…!”

Carrot’s eyes widened as Tuna passed by, wiping her saliva from the corner of her mouth.

“Hey Tuna, do you have a taste for macho muscle mass like that?”

Tuna blushed slightly and averted her gaze.

“Ugh, yeah. Hey, Crank, do you think you have a girlfriend?”

Carrot’s expressionless face secretly turned into a funny cat.

“wow! crank! listen! listen!! I mean Tuna! Ahahahaha!”

“Kiyaaa?! Cack-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-carot?!”

Tuna, who threw her body, grabbed Carrot, who was running around, and fell to the ground. Crank saw that and went back into the workshop.

“why? what’s the matter?”

“never mind! Do that too!”

“Oops!!”

Embarrassed, Tuna covered Carrot’s mouth and shouted. In the meantime, Ariete, who was practicing dressing up, found a 2-meter bucket of perverted muscle in her underwear standing at the entrance of the studio and let out a gasping sound.

“Uhhhhh?! Rice, pervert?!”
