Automatic Doll Automaton - Chapter 145
“Lululala~!”
Carrot, who was taking a leisurely walk after providing material for a storybook at the guild, suddenly saw people running out of the workshop and tilted his head.
The platinum-haired woman running in front of me seemed like someone I had seen yesterday, but she was smiling with an unusually bright face.
“Ahahahahaha! I must conquer you!”
“Shut up!”
Ariete followed with a sword, but soon turned back and ran. After running into the studio, she shouted hastily while looking at the crank.
“A mouthful! I need a mouthful! hurry!”
However, Crank savagely lifted his shield and built a defensive line. Tuna, who had just woken up from her slumber, approached her, who was looking around with tears in her eyes.
“Ugh. what’s the matter? Hoaam… … . Ugh, ugh?!”
Tuna, who had been snatched up by Ariete and had her lips stolen, struggled for a while in her chest and lost consciousness. Ariete, who hugged her drooping downward, turned her burning red eyes back.
Just in time, Carrot, who was watching it from the entrance, was frightened.
“Kyaaagh?! It’s a kissing ghost!”
The kissing ghost was attacking Crank now.
“As expected, it can’t be without you!”
“Do you think it would be easy to give permission?”
Crank, who had chicken skin all over his body, crouched down holding his shield. Ariete, who was clinging to the shield and whining, found Carrot and shouted.
“Hold Crank’s leg! Otherwise, I will make you a treat!”
“Ooohhhhh!”
Carrot ran up and clung to Crank’s leg.
“Carrot?”
“Please accept it! It’s not that painful, is it?!”
At that moment, Ariete opened her mouth wide, aiming for an opening, and attacked like a beast.
* * *
After the commotion subsided, Carrot said.
“Oh, did that happen?”
“hmm.”
Ariete appeared with a toothbrush in her mouth as if she had calmed down a bit and nodded. Beside him, Crank said, looking at the teeth marks on his neck in the mirror.
“sick. Are you a vampire?”
“Gaggle gargle! Pet-! I’m sorry. But think about it too. How would you feel if you were kissed by the same man?”
Crank, who had grown chicken again, glanced at Leclerc’s automated transport outside the door and nodded his helmet.
“I get it. Next time, let him bite your arm.”
At that time, Tuna, who had been lying on the floor, stood up like a zombie.
“Ugh… . oh oh… … !”
“Aww! Victims here too! It’s a kiss ghost! Is this like a zombie?! It’s contagious!”
Everyone hid behind the crank.
However, Tuna acted surprisingly calmly. With a face like that of a girl in love, she turned her head away, touching her lips with her hand.
The face was smiling shyly.
“Ariete’s lips are so soft… … .”
Surprised, Ariete stretched out her arms.
“no! You can’t cross that river! You won’t be able to come back!”
Suddenly, Charles approached Tuna and held out a mug.
With Carrot as the main axis, the automatons, who were accustomed to the pranks that the studio family did when they were bored, stopped reacting to anything unless it was a threat.
“It’s cocoa.”
“Oh, yes, thank you. shar’s mother Hororop… … .”
Seeing Tuna squirm as she put the mug to her mouth, Ariete asked anxiously.
“Is Tuna okay?”
“huh? Uh, yeah, oh, it was rather good? Mo, morning kiss, uh uh chureup.”
Ariete, who was embarrassed to see her smiling and liking her, covered her face with both hands and lowered her head.
Tuna, who had walked away holding a mug, looked at the half-assembled arm with Shion hanging over the workshop.
“Boo, that’s broken. Is everything done?”
“Processing is over. Just assemble. And let Ariete and Carrot take a break before going to work.”
“work?”
Crank sat down again and continued assembling the arm.
“Well, I made quite a bit of money this time, and there are things I want to do with the things I brought. So let’s go out on our own for the time being.”
Ariete and Carrot looked at each other. Ariete, feeling better, clenched her fists and said.
“hmm! I get it!”
Crank, who suddenly remembered something, got up from his seat again, rummaged through the drawers, and pulled out a large leather pouch.
“Hold on, everyone. It is a settlement and a salary.”
“Whoa-! Viva! salary day!”
Tuna cheered. I thought I would hit it with a secret bank account that I received for donating technology to the maintenance guild, but apart from that, Crank was taking care of the assistant’s salary.
It was a salary of pocket money, but this time, including travel expenses, Tuna was very happy to receive a fairly thick money bag.
As expected, Ariete, who received the money bag and checked the contents, was surprised.
“Isn’t this too much?”
“As I said before, your ransom was paid off from your southern business trip. It is the price of your fair sweat. Don’t waste it.”
Ariete accepted the heavy money bag and nodded her head with a puppy-like smile.
Crank also gave Carrot and Charles money bags.
“Why is there a difference between Charles and me?”
When asked about the different pockets, Crank gave a simple answer.
“That is the cost of living. Because Charles is in charge of the studio these days.”
“Oh, admit that.”
Charles also nodded to see if his doubts about the heavy pockets had been resolved.
“Oh, yes!”
Carrot, who had packed her purse, dragged a knapsack from the junk rack in the corner of the workshop and turned it upside down on the table.
rumble! jingle jingle!
Coins and other expensive-looking jewelry were poured out.
“Hey, what is this all about?”
Tuna picked up the necklace from among the objects pouring in and asked. Carrot was smiling, and Ariete made a knowing expression.
“When the inn was set on fire!”
“Hee hee, I sneaked it. It’ll burn if you just leave it anyway. Isn’t it a waste?”
Crank, who was still looking down at the glittering gold treasure, turned his helmet and stroked Carrot’s head.
“You are the greatest masterpiece of my life. Good job.”
“Ahem! Praise more!”
Ariete and Tuna laughed at Carrot’s gesture of putting her hand on her waist and sticking out her stomach.

“Are there too many? how much?”
The total amount of money that came out of sitting down to Charles and building a tower with coins for a long time and sorting things out was about 20 million Leeds, and this is the price without disposing of jewelry.
The infinitely soft crank asked.
“Is there anything you would like to have?”
Carrot, who had been thinking quietly with her finger on her lips, looked back at Ariete and said.
“Auto carriage! I wish we had a private vehicle for our party. It’s carrying a load of weapons and equipment needed for repairs. And look out there.”
Everyone turned their heads. Outside the wide open door, on the other side of the vacant lot, you can see Leclerc Party’s vehicle.
“The number of adventurer parties with vehicles like that has increased these days? And I heard from the guild that there is a band of robbers armed with such vehicles in the Northeast. You might be able to fight against them someday, so make sure to secure your means of transportation! request!”
Crank, who had heard that far, nodded his pitch obediently.
“I get it. I was also receiving someone’s persistent request lately.”
“Ohhhhh! Really?! Are we going on an adventure in an automatic wagon?! Ohhh!”
Ariete was excited as she hugged Carrot and rubbed her cheeks. But Tuna was frightened.
“So, are you thinking of taking me there too?”
Carrot approached and said.
“It’s good to see things in a bad way. Because you can prepare for reality. But in the end, you have to consider the good direction first. Is that the future? Think about it, can you dig up with your own hands some valuable herbs and minerals that don’t grow here? That too for free.”
Carrot’s persuasion worked and caught Tuna’s attention. However, Tuna was staring at Carrot’s lips.
“By the way, Carrot, would you like to open your mouth?”
It was an unexpected request, but Carrot opened her mouth with an ang.
Ordinary automatons have only vocalization devices in their mouths and no tongues, but Carrot has a tongue like a human’s. Tuna asked while looking at the crank.
“I’ve been curious about this before, uh, how did you attach it? Did you make it on purpose?”
Carrot moved her tongue and laughed bashfully.
“They say this is because of the biological skin. I’m going to be able to do it,”
“For some reason, the cultured skin was trying to penetrate inside and form an organ. I struggled with that at first.”
“Then why is this all of a sudden?”
Tuna laughed and quickly embraced and kissed Carrot, who had come closer.
“To do this, Churup Churup!”
“Ooh ooh ooh… … !”
“Huh?”
Ariete, who was sitting right next to her, freaked out, and Crank covered the helmet’s face with one hand. Everyone was completely fooled by Tuna’s scheme.
But the situation was reversed.
At first, Carrot struggled, but as time passed, Tuna began to struggle, and finally Carrot clung to her body.
“Oops! town!”
When Crank and Ariete, who were worse off, separated the two, Carrot was leaking an unknown liquid from her glistening mouth, and Tuna on the other side similarly passed out leaning against a chair.
Carrot, who looked like she had made a great discovery, opened her bright eyes and shouted.
“and! is this a kiss? is it a kiss? Tongue play is important! however… … Why is Tuna like that?”
“Because normal people lose their minds when they do that.”
Charles brought a towel and wiped his mouth. Carrot, whose mouth was clean, turned her head and looked up at the crank.
“So do you?”
Carrot’s eyes shine.
Crank gave me goosebumps, but he told me rather seriously.
“Carrot, what you did is an expression of affection. However, if you are attacked by someone who has no such thoughts, you will feel very shocked and humiliated. Be careful.”
“Shock and awe!”
Realizing something, Carrot made a fuss while holding her cheeks with both hands.
“I’ve got a new skill that will turn everyone into a prisoner of love!”
Feeling sorry for Carrot, who interpreted the knowledge in his own way, Crank covered the helmet with both hands, and Ariete hid behind Charles.
Then Carrot clapped her palms and said.
“Are you the only one left now?”
“huh?”
Carrot pursed her lips and began to babble. The crescent-like eyes were looking at the crank.
“M-hu-hu-hu, stay there, this body will show you heaven.”
While Crank’s arm slowly picked up the shield, Ariete quickly picked up the cheeky little doll and grabbed it.
“Shall we go for a walk and see some work in the guild?”
“Wow! let go! It was a joke! joke!”
Carrot struggled. Crank raised his thumb, and Ariete, who slightly turned his head, also raised his thumb.
