"L-Leon, what is that...?" Rose asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's an automata," I told her.
Truthfully, this was the first time I'd seen something like this, but given that Scarlet — who was a cyborg — existed, I suppose seeing a metallic body wasn't entirely unheard of.
Still... Scarlet seemed to be from another world. I hadn't asked her much about her origins since she was always away, but now, seeing something like this... it was honestly shocking.
It not only caught me off guard — it shook me to my core. Maybe a cyborg like Scarlet wouldn't surprise me as much anymore, especially since this world had things like guns, but... how could something like this exist here?
In a world governed by swords and magic... in a world where technological advancement was barely past the basics... something like this simply shouldn't exist.
