Automatic Doll Automaton - Automatic Doll Automaton chapter 150
“Ai, don’t say anything, that Lecleren or something keeps interrupting our work by interfering. Let’s wash up first! It smells fishy, so I have to wash the automatons today too. This is why I hate lizard hunting. The post-processing is not neat.”
After turning on the boiler and filling the bucket with hot water, the group started taking a bath.
In the meantime, Crank prepared dinner,
People who had washed equipment and combat uniforms hanging on clotheslines in the studio now gathered around the work area and sat down at a table with sofas and chairs.
The automatons who washed their combat clothes borrowed clothes from Ariete and Tuna, and Carrot took out children’s clothes and put them on again.
While eating, Ariete expressed her anger.
“Why does he always interrupt my work!”
“Is it because you like it? Being attracted to the same woman is really magical.”
“I do not like it! Even today, my heart… … ! Anyway, I can’t forgive you!”
Tuna, who was chewing on bread with ham, smiled happily and looked at the wooden buckets she had brought.
“Yeah, but I got good quality slime. Joe, I’m a little tired.”
“It’s a good attitude. Don’t just stay in the studio, go out often.”
Carrot intervened.
“When will we get that automatic wagon? Some of the adventurers I went with set up bases with automatic wagons and even camped there?”
“Well, I was thinking of finishing this and looking for it. After work, let’s take a look around with the guards.”
“Oh! We also carry a lot of gear and camp on site!”
Ariete, thinking of something, looked at the crank.
“right. Crank, I have a favor.”
“what?”
Ariete covered her chest with one hand, wondering what had happened to her, and pointed at Shion with her other hand.
“Request reinforcement of Zion’s chest armor plate. There is a major flaw in the armor plate that opens when you put your hand through the gap. And now, increase the output of this prosthetic arm.”
Crank, who had been looking at Shion for an unexpected flaw, nodded.
“Then wear that tomorrow and go out. Almost done. Could Two or its neural connections apply to that?”
“huh. Bar, I’ll eat and do it.”
“You can do it tomorrow. you will be tired But what about the water lizard request? Are you going to continue?”
Ariete frowned arrogantly and said.
“It was as you said. The lizard was big, fierce, and rough, and the slime was slippery and smelled bad. To be honest, I don’t want to go, but I can’t just stay like this. Leclerc, you damn bastard! I’m going to rub that guy’s chest into a mess too!”
Ariete, who had been expressing her anger with her whole body all evening, fell asleep in Carrot’s embrace.
Meanwhile, Crank and Tuna stayed up all night to finish the work.
* * *
so the next day.
Leclerc, who was camping near a lake in northeastern Argon where a water lizard capture request was in progress, greeted Ariete, who returned in a carriage around noon.
“Oh oh! my cutie! You came again because you couldn’t forget my touch. Ughhh!”
“Shut up!”
Seeing her move the fingers of both hands in a very stupid way, as if kneading something, Ariete burned with hostility.
Leclerc’s face, which had been smirking as he saw her swinging his fist while lifting a pile of cloth in the luggage compartment, slowly began to harden.
The pile of cloth in the wagon moved and rose from the hold.
thud-!
The object standing with its large legs on the floor was made using the body of a previously destroyed hard-skin automaton, and Crank called it a muscle-assisted automatic armor casually.
Ariete, who entered the room, opened and closed her hands, then smiled in contemplation.
“Okay, move. in action. Crank too!”
In terms of basic usage and internal structure, it is completely backwards compatible with Shion, and since it is operated with a nervous system link and the frame is made of an exoskeleton, it has become considerably lighter, but the size is the same.
However, since it is a general-purpose equipment, it is not exclusive to Ariete, so she had to wear prosthetic arms and legs to use it.
“Oh my, what is that?”
“Hard Skin Automaton… … isn’t this Did you see a woman’s face in the helmet?”
The elves and adventurers who were watching looked at me curiously.
Iron cruck, tongue-! Iron cruck, tongue-!
Seeing Ariete appearing as an infallible hard-skinned automaton, Leclerc rather liked it.
“hahahaha! Awesome, warrior! The effort to defeat me is truly imaginary… … !”
Chow!
Leclerc, swept away by a sudden large wave, is floating in the lake water.
“Leclerc!”
Her colleagues, who were hunting water lizards nearby, came running in surprise.
“Ufufu-!”
When Leclerc, who was soaked in water, raised his head, Ariete, who was standing on the shore of a shallow lake, showed a confident face and smiled sinisterly.
The automatic armor he was wearing was so big that only half of his face came up, but the look in his eyes was clearly visible.
“It’s hot. Shall we play in the water?”
“Mum-hu-hu! Is it yesterday’s revenge? In case you forgot, I am not alone! everyone! Attack!”
Chow! Chow!
“Oohhh!”
“aaa!”
In June, when the scorching sun was pouring in, a mere, out of nowhere water splashing competition for adults began.
“Oh, are you really excited?”
“It’s kind of silly to use such an amazing armor weapon for water play.”
“More than that, stop those idiots. All the lizards run away.”
There were some people who frowned, but the adventurers who were exploring the lakeside looked curiously at the automatic armor that Ariete was wearing after finishing their work.
“Wow, Crank made it? Is it great?”
“It looks pretty good. What about defense and combat power? Interested.”
“How the hell does this deal work?”
Carrot shook her head.
“I do not know either. I guess I should ask the person who made it? now! Let’s leave those adults alone and get to work!”
Urging the remaining party members, Carrot hurried to work.
“It took so much time to finish and adjust it! I have to fill my daily wage within half a day! Hurry up!”
Just in time, Koby, who was only in his underwear, caught a large lizard with his whole body and brought it alive.
“But can’t you eat this? It looks delicious.”
“Oh, yes. I was moaning that Crank didn’t catch the lizard. Let’s get some. It tastes good when you bake it.”
“Heavy rain!”
“A grilled lizard?”
Boris, who was also walking around in his underwear while catching lizards at the water’s edge of the lake with G.O, who showed off his big muscles, was startled.
“These savages!”
But that thought was completely changed at an evening barbecue at Crank’s workshop after work.
Boris, with seasoned lizard skewers in his hand, was surprised with a bottle of beer in one hand.
“delicious! Why is it delicious?! It’s a lizard!”
“Thanks to the carrot special seasoning, I eat a lot.”
“Let’s go again tomorrow!”
Kobe, who had grilled skewers in both hands, shouted excitedly, but Gio shook his head.
“Tomorrow we have to move.”
“ah! yes.”
Carrot asked.
“Oh oh? Have you decided now?”
“Yeah, that’s how it happened. I’m also going to dispose of the party home.”
“Think of it as a good experience. But it’s close by, so I’ll see you often in the future! There, that building.”
Carrot picked up the skewer he was grilling and pointed at one of the tall buildings across the warehouse area.
“So I have a suggestion for you guys.”
Krank, who had passed out all night and woke up in the evening, was at a dinner party and intervened.
“A fixed party?”
“That’s right. Apparently, Ariete is joining everyone’s party, but I want the leader to yield to that one. Instead, we will spare no support from this side.”
“Uh… … .”
Boris, Kobe, and Vita were taken aback by the sudden offer.
Unless you’re an idiot, you know what a great story this is. As the main axis of the workshop, they can borrow and use all their abilities.
It may not be absolutely lacking, but it was a proposal that they are extremely grateful for.
But in the end, their eyes turned to the party leader, Geo.
It was not the dream of all four of them to be adventurers since childhood. In the case of G.O, he was worried that his childhood friend, Vita, who had become a priest without hesitation, would die a violent death in the wild. Kobe and Boris heard the story of the two and followed them because they thought it would be better than farm work.
And everyone couldn’t help but admit that the coordination of G.O, who took over as the leader, was the reason why he barely survived and endured without serious injuries until now.
Ji-oh smiled brightly.
“Yes, good. Even if it wasn’t, it was a bit difficult.”
“Geo… … .”
Vita looked at him gloomily, but Ji-oh smiled warmly.
“If Ariete takes over as leader, I can relax my shoulders now.”
“huh? Rather, what are you talking about when you have to work hard on your ass? You have to be the most alert. I can not understand? This is a complete Boris upper compatibility… … become a leader? this.”
Areaette, who was chewing the lizard grilled the lizard, was rugged.
“This! Carrot, please don’t be like your master.”
“ah… … .”
Ji-oh, who was staring blankly at Ariete, who was eating grilled lizard skewers with a pretty face and a lot of seasoning around her mouth, suddenly covered her face with both hands.
The situation was so funny that even Vita turned her head and giggled.
After a while, Gio held out his hand to Ariete.
“Anyway, thank you. Ariete, I will assist you as much as possible.”
“Well, I will try to become a leader who is not lacking.”
“It’s okay to be lacking, but please don’t be ashamed.”
Ariete snorted at Boris’ words.
“I don’t know if it’s Kobe, but I don’t want to hear that from you.”
“what!?”
Everyone laughed when they saw Boris getting angry. Crank raised his beer mug.
“Then, for a party that starts anew.”
“wait for a sec! Before that, what was the name of our party?”
Carrot shouted boldly at Boris’s words, with blood in his eyes.
“Carrot Tigers! Round 2!”
“That’s not allowed! with a new name! We’ve been doing it without a party name the whole time!”
“Then let’s freshen up Cabbage Fighters!”
“Are you going to open a vegetable shop?! Seriously!”
Vita, who had been laughing at Carrot’s cry and Boris’ scream, spoke.
“How about sunflowers or dandelions in Argon? in the name of a flower.”
Ariete also intervened.
“Argon Plain Knights! Whatever it is, the Knights must enter.”
“Then the Hamster Knights!”
“Argon Dawn Sports Day.”
“The Monster Food Investigation Society!”
Crank raises his hand after hearing Kobe’s obsession with grilled lizards.
“One vote for the Necrotic Investigation Society.”
“hey! It’s not a cooking meeting!”
“Uh hee hee! Jae, it’s fun.”
Tuna was excited as she heard outrageous party names pouring in from all over the place.
“What do you have?”
After thinking for a while about Carrot’s question, Tuna opened her mouth.
“Um, how about the Knights of Frozen? W, it’s really cold here in the winter.”
“… … Is that okay?”
Compared to what came before, it was relatively normal, so Boris nodded.
Carrot arranged.
“The word kingdom is taboo in the official group name, so how about a compromise and the Argon Winter Knights? You earned the reputation of being a steam lady in winter, right?”
“It’s normal, but it feels moderate and strong. Do you like it.”
Ariete also affirmed. Carrot looked at her and laughed hahahaha.
“Wow, you are the knight commander? Ariete.”
Ariete closed her eyes with a beer mug, as if feeling moved again, and let out a short sigh.
“It is a long-time wish. Actually, I wanted to join the Knights.”
She raised her beer mug.
“Argon Winter Knights, let’s toast to our future.”
Everyone smiled happily and raised their glasses and cups. But Crank got in the way.
“Didn’t you say you shouldn’t drink alcohol?”
“Ahhh… … ! You’re doing too much. It’s not even a sip, is it?”
“Not even a sip.”
Ariete, with a teary face, clung to Crank’s arm, who snatched the beer mug, and whined. I was confused because the mature atmosphere just now completely disappeared, but Arietenni, who has recently been showing off her flamboyant self, everyone thought so.
“Aww! Just one sip!”
“Give up and drink milk with Vita. Ariete children.”
Ariete, who had her beer mug taken away and received a milk cup instead, was crying as if she was terribly disappointed.
“Aww!”
