Shortly after noon, we arrived at the plaza in front of the City Hall by walking through the languid atmosphere of the city. There were more people gathered than expected.

“female! crank!”

“Chief Ken, you are here.”

A few people from the merchant association that Fluid attends come out and pretend to know Crank. There were many people who were familiar with him because he often went out to escort the corps.

“You came too. Carrot, it’s been a while.”

“Yes, nice to meet you. The head of the union.”

From noble mtl dot com

The women standing around looked at Crank and Carrot and whispered.

“Is that a crank? In the same town as Fluid? How big is it?”

“wow-! that’s carrot The famous automaton!”

Crank asked while greeting people he knew and being introduced to people he hadn’t seen before.

“Are you two in?”

“okay. It will be out soon.”

Suddenly someone shouted.

“excuse me! Come out!”

The door to the city hall opened and the two walked out.

Unless you are aristocrats or rich and influential people, the weddings of ordinary people in this world are simple. But even so, Fluid’s marriage was very simple.

This is because the two agreed to the story by only registering the marriage without a ceremony. Instead, I decided to save that much money to buy a new house,

So I deliberately didn’t even invite guests.

The people who had gathered had come to celebrate nonetheless.

“They both said their parents died early and they have almost no relatives, so I reduced the deal as much as possible.”

“Well, because of Fluid’s circumstances, he probably couldn’t have been in a coma. I have two younger brothers, too.”

The wedding itself ended with Fluid wearing the neatest of the clothes she had and her hair tied up, and Jake dressed in a guard uniform registering their marriage at the city hall.

“Fluid!”

Fluid’s friends came to congratulate him. Fluid was overjoyed. Members of Jake’s security unit also came to congratulate him, and adventurers he knew, including Crank, also came and gave gifts.

“It is said that money is also an expression of the heart. So my gift is cash.”

Crank holds out a heavy money bag.

Fluid let out a sigh, but was delighted nonetheless.

“thank you so much. crank.”

“Can you believe it? Jake? Fluid knocked on the crank when you were little?”

Carrot’s eyes widen as she speaks, and Jake laughs out loud. And the people around me laughed too.

“I’ll have to be careful with that.”

“Aww! Caroo clothes!”

“Ahahahaha! congratulations! congratulations so much! Watching Fluid get married! I am the happiest automaton in the world!”

Everyone was delighted. Just then, a group of people approached from a distance in the square.

“I am sorry for being late. I am on my way to say hello to the lord.”

A man in a uniform he has never seen before suddenly greets him. People tilted their heads, but Fluid recognized the blond automaton that had walked out among them.

“green?”

Carrot was also surprised.

“What?!”

Automaton Green, who currently serves as the temporary guard chief of the Ark City Trail, greets you.

“Nice to meet you. Fluid, is your name well known?”

Fluid covered his mouth with both hands, and Argon’s guards began contemplating whether to salute the captain of the neighboring Ark City.

“All of Argon’s guards are neat. I have a lot of good-looking friends.”

A rugged man with a tall stature of more than two meters and muscles like a balloon walked out. Then he looked down at Fluid and Jake, smiling as cutely as he could.

“This is the Torpedo of the Trail Guard. Fluid, you provided the head of our guard, and you, Jake, rushed to hear the news. congratulation on your marriage.”

Torpedo put what was in his hand into Fluid’s hand.

Torpedo said to Fluid, who was taken aback by the sudden fall of his arm.

“Our lord is sending it. And it is a message.”

Torpedo cleared his throat a bit, then straightened his back and solemnly opened his mouth.

“Thanks to you, a golden wind blows through our trail. Thank you.”

Fluid, who looked a bit dazed, turned her head, and an automaton with flowing blonde hair was looking at her with a cute mask.

“congratulation on your marriage. I wanted to thank you for giving me this beauty that everyone praises.”

“me···! No, I am the one who found it, thank you very much. Captain of the trail guard.”

The head of the merchant association, who clearly saw that scene, clapped his hands, determined to tell his best friend Marvin the Adventurer Guild Master about this picturesque story.

clap clap clap-!

Everyone clapped their hands, thinking that applause was the best way to alleviate the awkwardness. As the atmosphere calmed down again, the Argon ranger greeted the trail guards and made friends, and Green approached Crank and Carrot.

“Long time no see.”

“Ooh! Captain of the trail guard!”

If Green had a face, he would have laughed. Green tilted his head slightly and looked up at the crank.

“Are you healthy? Meister Crank.”

“How is your body, Captain of the Guard? Where are you uncomfortable?”

“doesn’t exist. A skilful mechanic is on the trail. He said he would like to meet you.”

Crank in his helmet grinned as he looked down at the green in his snazzy trail guard uniform.

“I’ll definitely see you sometime.”

“Is this your friend? Captain of the Guard.”

Four guards, including Torpedo, approached. They looked up and down at the crank and made impressive faces.

“This man is the captain of the guard…”

“The source of the beginning, maybe the parents?”

“If you have to ask?”

Except for Torpedo, they were all women. Torpedo was as curious as they were about the person who repaired Captain Green to his current form, but it was nice to see him in person at this moment.

A rivalry flared up in his gaze.

“I average 3 to 800. How are you? What about the routine?”

Crank of similar size crossed his arms at Torpedo.

“I don’t aim to build muscle, so I tend to do aerobic exercise.”

“I can’t believe it. You say that body comes out with aerobic activity?”

“Of course, I am doing a bit of ironing at the same time. By the way, 3 to 800 is pretty good.”

“I’m challenging the mid-800s these days. How are you?”

Leaving aside the war of nerves of the 2-meter-tall muscle giants, Carrot walks up and looks up at the green.

“hi! green!”

“Nice to meet you. Carrot.”

When Carrot calls the leader of the trail guard by name, the three female guards’ expressions harden. Green raised his hand and said.

“Let me introduce you. These are members of the Trail Guard. In two or three years, one of them will formally serve as captain of the guard.”

“Oh oh! So, is it an elite group? amazing!”

The crew members’ faces widened slightly. They put their hands on their hips and lifted their noses.

“then! As for us…!

“Ahh! Torpedo is undressed!”

“That person too!”

Where I turned my head, Torpedo and Crank threw off their tops and started showing off their muscles.

People burst into laughter as if their appearance is funny.

Fluid and Jake laughed too.

It was a fun wedding.

“Let’s change seats. Because I rented out a restaurant.”

“Chief of the union?”

“No matter how much it is, I can’t just let the wedding of an employee of the trading house go unnoticed. The trail guards are also with you. If you come from far away and don’t treat me to a meal, I’ll be embarrassed to see the Lord of Trails as the head of the Argon Chamber.”

The guards were overjoyed. And at the place where they moved, congratulations and stories came and went along with a simple meal.

Amidst the attention of many people, Fluid and Jake became a couple.

“ha ha ha! It was fun!”

As the sun went down, Tuna and Ariete welcomed Crank and Carrot back to the workshop.

“Are you late?”

“It happened.”

“But it was fun!”

“Yeah, there were some good encounters. It was called Torpedo. He was a friend with a great body.”

Ariete, wearing an apron, asked.

“How about dinner?”

“ate. Carrot?”

Carrot, who was talking about the outing to Charles and Lotte, turned around and Crank rolled up his arms.

“Let’s begin.”

“okay! Now it’s finally my turn!”

“I can’t remember how many times I did it, but I’m getting better, so don’t worry about it again.”

Carrot threw off the children’s clothes she was wearing and laughed happily.

“of course! because you are my master I trust you.”

“Lie down on the workbench and turn off the power. When you wake up, the repairs will be finished.”

“yep!”

The naked girl, saluting like the guards, climbed onto the workbench, lay down, closed her eyes, and stopped.

Tuna, who had been staring open-mouthed, hurriedly ran over to look at Carrot and said:

“Was I really an automaton?”

“Then what did you think until now?”

“crank.”

Where Crank turned his head, Ariete was making a worried face.

“I’m counting on you. I can’t sleep without Carrot. It has become that kind of body.”

“Don’t worry. This is my automaton. I will fix it.”

Crank, who changed into overalls, began slicing Carrot’s soft skin with a scalpel.

“This red kid, what is the liquid?”

“Blossom.”

“Hick?! Blood?”

Whoops…!

When all the skin was removed from Carrot’s body and the wig was removed, a small girl-shaped automaton was revealed.

A chair was placed in the aisle across the workbench, and Ariete, Charles, and Lotte looked at the work with serious eyes.

Tuna asked while listening to Carrot’s soft skin.

“Cow, it’s called soft skin, but, buy this, isn’t it human skin?”

“If you think about it, it might be right. Because it was cultivated based on my skin.”

“Hick! uh, how?!”

“I don’t know exactly. That’s the realm of the witch gorgon, so I even did plastic surgery of the cultured skin and put it on Carrot.”

Tuna’s eyes widened enormously.

“Witch of the West, Gorgon!? The greatest alchemist in existence!? Oh woah oh oh!”

“right. a famous person Now he lives quietly in a forest near Argon.”

Tuna wanted to tell Crank what she knew about Gorgon right away, but decided to hold back. Because you know what your priorities are.

“Phi, what about the skin tissue?”

“Put it in a glass bottle over there. I will take it and re-cultivate it.”

“Go, go to the Gorgon’s residence, is it possible?”

“okay. The equipment is there.”

Crank took off his gloves and wiped Carrot’s body clean with a wet towel. Then he brought a white cloth and covered the little body.

“Let’s end here for today. Carrot’s body needs quite a bit of attention.”

“why?”

“In that tiny body, there are artificial muscles and ligaments about 1.5 times the size of an ordinary automaton. I’ll take a break and start working again in the morning.”

Tuna, who was looking into the vial containing Carrot’s facial skin, raised her head.

“Go, tell me about Gorgon.”

Crank, who hesitated for a while, finally opened his mouth.

“Witch Gorgon of the West, about 3 years ago I went to subdue with my colleagues and was counterattacked. That witch was just like you.”

Tuna widened her eyes and pointed her finger at her face.

“I-was it like me?”

“Yes, he was someone who didn’t know how to do laundry, clean, or cook anything other than alchemy or magic.”

“Eh…?”

Ariete, who was listening intently, turned her head and smiled.
