Greetings, Automata Maid - Chapter 77.2
I chant something with a very low voice as my gauntlets and breastplate fall to the ground. Now I’m just wearing my maid uniform, and everyone’s eyes are focused on me.
I carefully take off my apron, then my Servant brooch, and undo the ribbon on my neck. As I start to pull on my sleeves, my shyness reaches its highest point and I start to hesitate.
“What’s wrong? You care about this girl, don’t you?”
I know Lacks is just trying to rile me up, but he’s right. I have to keep Olivia safe…
I force my trembling hand to move and take off my dress, revealing my underwear and very curvy body. My black underwear and white skin create an alluring contrast that gathers even more attention from the men.
My headband and shoes are still attached to me, but I don’t think there’s a point in caring about those.
I thought I could bear with this, but I can’t stand all of them looking at me, so I end up covering my chest and hips with my hands. But that did not please Lacks and he made more demands.
“Come on now, don’t tell me you call that stripping. Take off your underwear too.”
The man holding Olivia makes the knife glint to pressure me as well.
“Ugh…”
I never had a choice. Cursing myself for not trying to avoid this situation, I reach around to the back of my bra to unhook it.
“Awooooooooooooooooo!!”
But then an ear piercing howl stopped me. What is that?!
The trees around us start to rustle and flocks of birds start fleeing. Everyone else also stops looking at me and starts surveying our surroundings carefully. There’s something here. But no one is moving.
More leaves rustle and I hear a twig breaking, something is definitely getting closer.
Swoosh!
I see a black shadow jumping out from a thicket in the corner of my eye. By the time I turn my head to face that way one of the men has already vanished. It’s a large four meter long wolf, with golden fur and a silver streak that runs from the side of its head down the rest of its body.
The wolf easily bites and chews the head of one of the men like its a piece of bread.
This is bad.
This is bad. This is bad.
This is bad. This is bad. This is bad.
This is bad. This is bad. This is bad. This is bad.
This is bad. This is bad. This is bad. This is bad. This is bad.

What the hell is this monster? I thought I had lost most of my human instincts as a magic automaton, but seeing that monstrous wolf made them rush back screaming. That thing is dangerous.
So far I’ve hunted various monsters bigger than me like Meteor Wolves, Clamp Boars, Tyrannoghavials, and even a golem, but none of them felt as overwhelming as this one. It was not just bigger, but I could tell this is a completely different type of being.
I can’t fight it.
“T-this can’t be, why is there a Comet Wolf here-”
One of the men can’t endure the fear anymore and starts screaming. An instant later the wolf becomes a blur.
“Hieee!”
I follow the cry with my eyes and see the Comet Wolf leave another body behind. Only a short whimper came from the victim before his body was twisted and torn into an indescribable pile of gore.
“I thought we were here to have fun, I wasn’t told there were-”
“H-help-”
The Comet Wolf ignores the men’s pleas and bites off limbs while tearing their bodies with its claws. Some even got crushed under its enormous body.
I have to get away from here somehow. I carefully watch my surroundings and open my magic storage underneath my clothes, stashing them away.
“Boss, we can’t fight that thing! We need to run!”
The man holding Olivia yells at Lacks, and that seems to annoy the Comet Wolf, as it turns around to look at him.
Oh no! Just as I force my trembling body to move, the Comet Wolf leaps into the air.
“Get away from mee!”
“Kyah!”
“Young Lady!”
The man pushes Olivia forward to shield himself before turning around and fleeing. I keep my Illusory Magic as is and run there, almost instantly catching Olivia’s body and holding her against my chest to protect her as we roll together on the ground.
As I stand up, I get rid of the Illusory Magic I was using. Earlier I had cast a spell to hide the mechanical joints in my limbs, so that the men would not notice I was a magic automaton and I could buy more time. Now there was so much chaos that I didn’t have to do that anymore.
Now, Black Hawk…almost..!
I shoot out my arm to pick up my beloved gun that was thrown so carelessly. As I train Black Hawk’s sights onto the Comet Wolf, it stops its aggression and steps back. Its golden eyes were focused on Black Hawk.

Most of the men, except for Lacks, are already dead or on their final breaths. I have Olivia next to me, so I also have no reason to listen to him anymore. But the Comet Wolf made it impossible to act rashly now.
“Young Lady, are you hurt?”
“N-no, thanks to you.”
I talk with Olivia in a low voice to make sure she’s alright, but I don’t look away from the Comet Wolf.
Lacks is no longer a threat, the Comet Wolf is the only issue. Night Wolves are like puppies compared to it. But everything will be alright if I get Olivia to escape somehow.
“Tsk, I guess the plan won’t work now. Are you looking at this? I got a new contract for you.”
Lacks starts talking, even though there’s no one else around. I start thinking he’s finally lost his mind, but then a shadow moves up from the ground next to him.
A head with horns comes out first, with blue skin and pitch black eyeballs, and then I see bat wings on its back as more of the body becomes visible. It’s wearing a butler’s tuxedo, but the slim fit highlights a different type of curve.
