Automatic Doll Automaton

baek!

A small automaton came running at breakneck speed and swung something. The hit robber passed out.

“Hee hee hee! This feeling that dares to beat a human! refreshing! always exciting! the best!”

The crazy automaton goes on a rampage, tearing off some poor automaton’s leg and swinging it like a bat.

Puck puck puck!

It was so fast that if you wanted to see it from the other side, a bat would suddenly fly right in front of your eyes.

“Aww!”

puck!

Carrot shouted a scary word.

“My master could have killed you guys! You guys are humanoid monsters! I’m not a person! Ahahahaha!”

“Sah, save me!”

“I can’t! Didn’t you too!?”

puck puck!

Trampling on the backs of the gang of robbers who fell to the floor, crying and crawling, and brandished a bat, the man foamed and passed out.

20 minutes after the attack

battle end.

“Who died?”

“We are not on our side. There were several friends who almost died, but the priests saved them all.”

“after-! Thank you very much.”

The leader of the corps, Captain Cave, interrogated the survivors of the gang who were sitting on the floor while being tied up.

“Where did that automaton come from?”

“Your mother gave it to you.”

“crank.”

puck!

A merciless blow to the head with an ax killed the robber instantly. A two-meter monster with a bucket helmet on its head says shyly.

“I hate push and pull.”

The surviving robbers were frightened and began to weep. Carrot with her arms crossed laughed ahahahaha and then pointed at the gang of robbers.

“Look at that. No matter how frightening, strong, or vicious a person is, they tremble in front of an ax wielded by a stronger person. It is the concept of relative underdog, but this is what we call true equality.”

Ariete nodded as if nothing had happened, and the priests and the people of the high society who were weak in taste turned their heads and frowned, but they kept Carrot’s words in their hearts.

“Next guy, where did those automatons come from?”

“Now, last year! I bought it from another band of robbers!”

“You bought it? What was the name of the gang of robbers? Where did you get it from?”

“It’s the Titan Robbers! I don’t know where you got it! I really don’t know!”

The deranged robber shook his head and shouted. Captain Cave looked at the top executives.

“Titan Robbers?”

“I heard. They are friends who are active in the northeast and southeast. I heard you were subjugated.”

“Are there still left? When I get back, I’ll have to ask them to subdue them. Are you using that precious resource for mere robbery?”

Crank called Carrot.

“Yes why?”

“How were those automatons? state or something.”

“It was so bad. There were very few people who knew how to fight properly. It must have been for home use.”

Subsequently, those who inspected the shattered bandits’ automaton returned and reported.

“All my memories are erased. It is only a memory of about a year.”

Having heard this far, Captain Cave sent someone to the city to ask for the automaton to be collected. Although it was broken, the material itself could be melted down and reused.

“We didn’t get far, but we camp here today! Do not hesitate to ask the priests to take care of the wounded!”

“yes!”

“What are they going to do?”

Most of them were killed, but there were also quite a few robbers captured alive. Captain Cave, who was watching the robbers tremble with anxiety, gestured to Crank and handed him a bottle of wine while whispering something in his ear.

“I entrust it to you.”

“All right. Carrot, let’s go. Lead the band of robbers.”

“okay. now! wake up! wake up! You stupid thief! What you thought with that little head was robbery? Regretful. How are you guys different from goblins?”

The band of robbers, who used to enslave the automatons until yesterday, all of a sudden became goofy when they heard a shout from the small automaton today.

After a hectic time of treating the wounded and repairing damaged cars, people asked when Crank, who had taken the robbers to a remote forest, had returned alone.

“uh? What about the robbers?”

“I have been released.”

“what?”

The people who trusted him frowned at the fact that he released them in a situation where killing them would not be enough. However, Carrot, who accompanied her, laughs cruelly.

“I handed each bottle full of sleeping pills. If you drink it in the woods, you’ll fall asleep right away. It’s night soon. It’s a dinner party for the orcs around here today.”

The atmosphere was generally accepted, but on the contrary, some priests looked at Crank and Carrot, who were completely different from the rumors, with tired faces.

“oh my god! So are you letting me die? They are people too. How could you…!”

Crank turned his helm and looked down at the girl dressed as a priest. She was a girl with eyes that firmly believed in her beliefs.

“Many priests are accompanying you on this southern business trip. What is your name?”

“This is Emis. Adventurer Crank, you are very different from the rumors.”

Even though he was a child, it felt strange to be criticized by the priest.

I look around a bit in frustration, and people stare at me as if I’m having fun. The strength is lost in the shoulder. So Crank threw his helmet at the young priest.

“Priestess Imys, you are more precious to me than that band of robbers. So I killed him. Otherwise, the gang of robbers would have killed us and insulted you. Hide behind philanthropy and pretend not to know the simple reason.”

The faces of the priests, including Imis, turned red in various ways.

“okay! Get your mind right! Look at the people you saved! Save only the people you need to save! Don’t waste your energy!”

The priests’ eyes shook. Carrot continued.

“that’s right. Who is that? There’s an oddball adventurer in the South who wears full plate mail.”

“Are there any adventurers who aren’t geeks?”

Carrot turned her head at someone’s words and gave a thumbs up with a smile. Khaki thought for a moment and snapped his fingers.

“Panter! The Cursed Living Armor Panther! He’s famous!”

“Yeah right! Panther! If you go to the south, there’s an adventurer called Panther. Do you know what his mouth habits are?”

All eyes were focused, looking down at the little automaton. Carrot said, suppressing her voice, imitating a thick male voice.

“Discrimination is necessary.”

“oh! Similar!”

“I miss you, is that man going to come out again this year? I know you are a little older.”

While the adventurers were talking one by one, Carrot walked in front of priest Imis.

“Priestess, that was a monster in the shape of a human. Aren’t we thinking the same thing because it’s the same shape? Just don’t forget that.”

Everyone shut their mouths, including Emis. It’s the expression of thinking seriously about something.

Crank, who had no intention, no desire, and no need to make his opponent understand, finished his words and went ahead to help repair the broken automatic water vehicle.

And Ariete, Lotte, and Carrot followed behind him.

Crank murmurs low.

“…Eat the philanthropy of mankind.”

Ariete, who stopped, made a surprised expression. Carrot, who was following, looks up at her.

“why?”

“Kh, Crank cursed.”

“Yes, because Master is also a human being. No, but why do you have such a face?”

Ariete, with a face like a girl in love, covered her mouth with both hands and looked at the back of the man who was walking far ahead.

“···cool.”

“Eh?”

There was an attack by a band of robbers shortly after leaving the city, but the upper house that defeated it safely set off again the next day.

“I still have a tight schedule, but I forgot half a day because of the gang of robbers. It should arrive on the right date.”

“that’s right. If you are late, you have violated the contract and have to pay a penalty.”

Ariete listened with great interest to the chatter of the conductor and deputy chief in the slow-moving vehicle.

“Why? Why do I have to meet the specified date? Wouldn’t it be okay if it was a day or two late? No, I’m asking because I don’t know.”

Khaki, who was making tea and serving snacks as if dancing in a swaying car, holds out a mug to her and laughs hahahaha.

“Because that’s not where things end up, right? When we hand over the goods to the Southern Chamber of Commerce, we have to send the contracted goods back and forth to towns and villages from there.”

“That’s why the first delivery is important. By the way, these damn elves don’t loosen the communication restrictions, so it’s annoying to death! khaki! The flag is up!”

“yes!”

Khaki, who threw himself, ran to the window with the flag and swung it wildly.

“It’s snowing ahead! Prepare cold weather clothes!”

Ariete looked back at the crank.

“What are the elves’ communication restrictions?”

“You seem to have fallen from another world somewhere. I’ll explain that later, so put this on first.”

Crank pulled out a thick coat from his backpack and held it out.

“It is a wool coat. It won’t be cold.”

“hmm! Thank you very much for each one. crank.”

“Hey, it’s snowing!”

Ariete, who was putting on her coat, looked in the direction the khaki was pointing. On the other side of the road that ran across the meadow, there were thick clouds and something white was falling.

“The north is behind, so why does it snow here?”

“It’s because of the moisture coming up from the south.”

“right. Now these damn snow clouds are going up north. The white hell begins.”

When winter comes, bad memories come to mind and Crank sighs.

The automated water vehicles at the top pushed their eyes slowly but steadily. It was so large and had so many wheels that it didn’t slip or slide easily.

“and! It’s snow! eye!”

Clinging to the window, Carrot poked her cheek into the window and looked at the white world with excitement.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen so many eyes.”

During the break, the cars at the top stopped in a row and people came and went. Some people had a snowball fight from time to time, but most of them walked around the snow field with a tired expression.

“They see so much snow in the North, right? Didn’t you say that Ariete came from the West?”

“hmm.”

While talking with Carrot, Ariete asked after seeing Crank walking around in his adventure outfit.

“Isn’t the crank cold? What about the coat?”

“This is nothing. I hate to see it, but I’m lucky that it’s snowing. There will be no monster attacks until we cross the southern limit.”

Ariete, who had many unknowns, widened her eyes. Carrot came back after running through the snow field laughing hahahaha.

“Oh, the limit line? I’ll come out here in about three more days. border between the south and the north. Two more days down there is the destination.”

“It’s far.”

“Because it seems to go from end to end. And some trucks are slow. If you ride a horse, you will arrive faster.”

“Ah, so…”

On the day of departure, Ariete, who had seen people leaving with carriages and horses, nodded.

“depart-!”

After a short break, the vehicle started again. But even they couldn’t move at night.

“We are sorry.”

“I have to drive and manage, so stop talking like that and get some rest.”

“that’s right! Because you are a high-class worker! don’t be burdened Leave the rest to us and get some rest!”

At Carrot’s cry, conductor Geese and Kaki laugh happily.

The room was small, but there were bedrooms, which belonged to the deputy chief and deputy chief. The escort adventurers go on patrol at night and sleep indoors for a while.

Since priests also need to be physically and mentally healthy to display their divine power, they let them rest and everyone went outside to go on patrol at night.

“It’s cold.”

Ariete shuddered and looked around the large automated water vehicle. said Carrot, who was walking with him.

“The cranks will be spread out. Let’s go ahead and unite for a while and rest.”

“coalescence?”

What Ariete, with a puzzled look on her face, found at the front of the car was a crank sitting on the floor. He sat down with a blanket wrapped around him and greeted them.

“Come on, let me come in.”

“Eww?!”

When I spread my arms, a tent-like blanket spread out to the left and right. Ariete was taken aback.

“Uh, where are you going?”

“Here between your legs.”

“Huh!”

“What are you nervous about! Get in quick! I have to take a break and come back again!”

Carrot grabbed Ariete’s hand and pushed her back. Eventually, Ariete pushed her butt between Crank’s legs and sat down. And Carrot took his place in front of him.

“uh?”

Ariete looked back as the situation was different from what she had thought. Crank’s chin is visible. When he closed the blanket he had spread out, it was as if only his head was sticking out of the tent.

“huh?”

Carrot’s head, which decorates the end of the tent, shouts.

“Combination complete! Dadasup dasup output deployment!”

Geeeing…!

I wondered if I could hear the slight sound of a mana engine, but Ariete felt a sudden warmth and almost lost her mind.

“What! This?!”

Carrot was sitting between Ariete’s legs, and heat was rising from her hair.

“fury-! It’s warm…!”

“It’s good? You can use the automaton’s heat dissipation wig like this, right?”

Ariete stretched out her arms and pulled Carrot closer. A nice scent rises from your hair.

Then my mind flashed.

“uh! Lotte! What about Lotte?!”

“I am here.”

Lotte’s voice is heard from behind Crank’s back.

“Even while resting, you have to be vigilant. While covering my eyes as much as I can,”

“Ariete? Close your eyes.”

“Ah, no it can’t be…!”

A minute later, Ariete knocked her face into Carrot’s head and passed out.

“coup···!”

“Wah ha ha. You must be tired.”

Crank’s helmet spoke at the tip of the tent.

“no. Ariete has post-traumatic stress disorder. When we talked about our hometown before departure, it got weird.”

“oh? okay? What does that have to do with this?”

“I felt it in the workshop, and it seemed that I was suffering from insomnia. Then, when I held you, I fell asleep as if I had passed out. Why?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Are you sure?”

Krank murmured as he inspected the illuminated snow field at night.

“I don’t know why, but the phenomenon is certain. I would like to make a doll for you.”

“Ahahahaha! doll? I am a doll too.”

Crank laughed at Carrot’s words.

Then, Carrot felt something thick flowing from his head and slapped the axe.

“oh! this guy! I am drooling now!”

“Phw.”

Crank, whose laughing code is slightly different from that of ordinary people, stopped laughing.
