【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ40hQOsUn
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYseW4t9dMz
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtSdTaxNrK
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyN4W3qP2x
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRfKWrpiaY
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIRk6NUs4Y
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUBzhVa1W
Looking at his eyes, I then looked at my surroundings, and only then I realized that I'm the only one standing in the middle of this dirty room.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJy9bp3qxn
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQK7veLh8W
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9eMJ1C9yd
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywt5rfEpDX
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEdyUKxQg
He's not only capable of forging things like antiques, currencies, and paintings.
According to him, he can also make dolls which looks completely like a real human.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BoCnyljst
I then became Master Attendant's assistant, helping him with handing over tools that he needs as he sits in the middle of mountains of materials.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7jk3txLER
His creations are completely different than his dirty outward appearance.
The numerous creations he made deserve to be called works of art, for it looks just like the real thing, even to the point of scars and scratches it has.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGKp41yg58
On the front, he works as someone who repairs everyone's valuable items.
But what he's trying so hard to create right now isn't a request coming from his front job.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQbtaCeeKH
In this unfair world, there will always be something that can make someone angry.
Ordinary people who has neither privileges nor authorities will always long for a hero who will help out the weak.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPBhPTjiUY
It is his job to provide help and faked goods for those heroes.
The nobles always met terrible experiences because of the counterfeits that can't be differentiated from the real deal, such as heirloom jewels they snatched away from poor people, or gold bars made out of relief fund for victims that they took from the treasury.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6l6WCd7iz
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5vpphjPDk
After the chivalrous thief, who wrenched open a rotten government official's treasury and gave out the money taken from there to poor people for free, were captured, it is decided that he will be executed according to the noble's will.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMmJFTp7HH
Master Attendant wanted to help out that "comrade" who shared the same ideal as him, but there is only half a month left until the execution date.
That's why, he need to finish the scapegoat doll as soon as possible.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4jXpbWciO
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjWcbI0ib0
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzGqqorQEr
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZILGQ23j
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntIu4IaSV4
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJnqOluaKf
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFTHIaECgV
I followed him to the house of a well-known airplane designer in this country.
I couldn't help but opened my eyes when I saw how he kicked the door open without any hesitation and boldly made his way inside.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfG0RGLi2k
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn75G1YvKgZ
The frowning man who came out then looked disgruntled, but unlike the outcome that i feared, he and Master Attendant didn't start quarreling.
It seems that these two have been friends for decades, which is why he's already used to Master Attendant's attitudes.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKqP0X8a3z
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstkeNovRzR
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1wy8m78RW
Creating a machine is a process which required an enormous attention to details.
Since they only have a short amount of time left, the two of them need to get into working immediately.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqRsMkJ6uZ
Because he has the designer's help now, I would only be a bother if I stay inside.
Just as I was about to leave and wait outside, my eyes caught the sight of a Food Soul with mechanical wings at the back of the room.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypUjwkKJNn
He hasn't spoken a word ever since we entered the house.
If I didn't notice that he has the same kind of presence as I do, I probably would think that he's a robot created by the designer.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5FRQTvDk
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh56zfidtD

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA84XsmKuMX
B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzNz8wH1WY
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwllXNAcBF
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQjkPg8hlh
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdC4xXnVfy
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95vz5G5ELh
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKboYAPOGIs
After Master Attendant came out from the working studio with his friend, the doll that was only quietly sitting down can now do simple movements and talk.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrnf0LnsYk
Master Attendant stretched out as he received the hot milk I prepared for him, and put on a refreshing smile.
Looking smug, he patted the doll's shoulder, and couldn't stop himself from laughing proudly.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQkQ3MCJMF
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl56zy5RSdF
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGeWlpR4F
Toast :
"Hurry and take a bath. You stink of oil and sweat. I've already prepared the fresh change of clothes and towel for you."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5QWr1yx44
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWP2cPfAYr
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpSrMe7vaN
After pushing my Master Attendant, who got a little weird because of lack of sleep, into the bathroom, I put a blanket over the soundly sleeping designer, then turned around to look at the standing still B-52.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQc2239jUi
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7dW7opUE3
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbz3keHNIQ
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSEaZUxMnp
B-52 : "Yes."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQlfte3X3Q
I reflexively stroked B-52's hair, and after letting out a long sigh, I pointed at the mechanical doll standing still by the wall.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiBNP79tWI
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGSjKvNGeq
B-52 : "Human?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75gm2cIznQ

"Yeah, That's right.."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn25Jaa0w6

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFzCCS7P8u
We parted ways with the designer who had helped us out a lot and returned to Master Attendant's atelier.
Fortunately, Master Attendant and his friend's plan progressed smoothly.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCuB1oYRRB
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo25iiTbTtV
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK6Ab26kh9
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvJqp3hKA
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblHmVpPwH6
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghc5xEv7yK
The plan was a success. There's no mistaking it.
But no one ever considered that Master Attendant had placed a trick in the doll's head.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi88Z79N5U
The moment its head touched the ground, with everyone's attention focused on it, said head exploded, just like a fireworks.
The nobles were still smiling in satisfaction when they heard the loud sound, which surprised them and made them tumbled down from the viewing platform.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDor9S3ZJGe
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYYKRU5Qln
His whole body trembled with fury, and seeing him looking like that, the commoners who came because they were worried of the chivalrous thief couldn't help but laugh.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCyeswCv4M
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfWJQVeS0k
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgoGPke5Tt
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VWDQJ5U5e
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK2OipCoIp
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu4lftdAKo
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuNP5yOn03
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR55DYGSel
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQC6WXSh7V
Toast : ".................."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4hh06ZHf
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTalB0wcHP
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSH2ecw0Uc
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2MnT0EeV9
But I was too optimistic about that.
Even though Master Attendant is the one named as the criminal because of his signature, it couldn't prevent the noble from lashing out his anger at the people who helped us out.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kZlhSLEOF
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXsaaOLq5j
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2t6jVKmjr
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM70KjBK6B6
Looking up at his captured comrades, who were placed on the castle gate, Master Attendant hold me back from trying to surrender myself in place of him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLvDj1ICO
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEwXnSdhJ
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvTC5KbadW
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgsDUObsTV
As if he can feel my uneasiness, Master Attendant patted the back of my hand and told me to go to his friend's place together with his other comrades and wait there.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uz53wR3My
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwCOZrHh2W
I've never seen this sloven man looking so serious. It rendered me speechless and, after suppressing the feeling of uneasiness in my heart with the help of warmth and strength felt on the back of my hand, I decided to trust him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNohudSrDhO
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrI00hrfWI
When I arrived at the designer's house, I noticed that the door is half opened.
I cautiously entered the house and saw that there is only remnants of a riot left. Then, I noticed that there are bloods on the design papers scattered on the floor.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdxsqgteZQ
Just what had happened here?
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvL6VuSMh
Unlike my Master Attendant, the designer is strict on himself and is a bit of a clean freak.
So there's no way he or B-52 would mess the room like this.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6FvIC6HYR
When I had cautiously entered the house earlier, I couldn't find that guy, who usually would stand quietly like a machine by his Master Attendant's side.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOy1XYwLv
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxRFoFy91M
Looking at how the blood on the ground already dried make me opened my eyes wide. The thick scent of blood in the air makes me feel sick.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQrySJkgga
After calming myself down, I tried searching for B-52, who's supposed to protect his own Master Attendant, but still I couldn't find him after searching through the whole house.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkwQrfEmJU
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zmjtdwBun
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9uoS25vqD
Master Attendant went silent for awhile after hearing about it, and when he opened his mouth to speak again, he said something that I didn't expect.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnRERRiJsy
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOQFo3V0Li
According to him, on that day when we left this house, as if he had predicted his own death, B-52's Master Attendant entrusted a letter of will to my Master Attendant.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELl1KT83hs
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyaTYZRG4U
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP3UKW5zUD
「Master Attendant」 :
"I don't know whether it's just a misapprehension because it's in my possession now, or if it's a real premonition."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzofaekUmI5
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXekXjH8XY
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV1XyccT8I
I don't know what he's trying to make, but I then noticed that among the things he created, some of them is really similar to the best treasures that now had long gone.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjoiHtj03l
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBELqhrlfdy
I didn't want to ask about what he made. Because if I were to ask him, I probably would reopen the wound ― the fact that he's lending a helping hand to the evil in order to protect his comrades.
I decided to respect his decisions. And, I decided that I will face its consequences together with him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzpY3KCV5c
But, after he handed over the antiques, as if he's feeling relieved, he took me to a hidden passage that B-52's Master Attendant had prepared, and we hurriedly make our escape from the castle.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhFOHsBM92
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl96bsdgqtD
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcC0bjBm7t
「Master Attendant」 :
"Just hurry and run! I still have to give the letter to B-52, and I refuse to die in this sort of place!"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIgPUbJXsd
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB4dxfoThm
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YlDfsYtPG
The only thing that missed his prediction was that it didn't take long for the noble to notice the word "fake" inside the antiques.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY22vsjUdP
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U1DxnsMRp
When we reached the outskirts, our pursuers had already draw pretty close. As I was trying to let Master Attendant to go ahead of me, suddenly some hands stretched out and dragged us into the thickets.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrOwPVfqHu
In the darkness, I saw a pair of bright eyes. He's looking at us, who are breathing raggedly after running, with an inquisitive look.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Zgdb21hu
He peeked his head out, and after confirming that our pursuers had long passed through where we were, he turned around and asked..

Toast's Master Attendant isn't the type of person who would keep his things tidy, but surprisingly, Toast is someone who is good at taking care of others.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKfQEHDrx9
His Master Attendant was a famous artisan. Be it an art object of high price or a mere lousy toy, if he had his hands on it, he would be able to make them looks like they're new again.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lraVvUy2p
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsEQrIPUou
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqtNC0ELM2
The hero that tried to oppose the rotten government officials, who embezzled the relief fund for disaster victims, was captured by means of foul play.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjpRnXNi2
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmrkySZOZN
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyYyotamOA
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEifQCBSXY
That's why he relied on his friend.
He and his friend, who is a machine designer, gave their all on it, and finally, they were able to make a robotic doll that almost can't be differentiated from the real thing and managed to switch the chivalrous thief everyone respected and loved with the scapegoat before his execution day.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ro1YqeSv
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlXt9HsJT7
It was a sight that they won't forget for the rest of their life.
The fireworks also lit a flame within some people's heart.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk5CArDCri
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkwcsAjAuV
But the counterfeit maker, who had arranged everything to perfection, didn't expect that one of the nobles would be so despicable to the point that he would threaten the life of people unrelated to the incident just to lure him out.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLwTove3Uc
In the end, he got arrested.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlnDlshZBV
The Heaven's might be on their side. The noble, after seeing that the man got quite the talent, said that in exchange of guaranteeing the safety of Toast and his Master Attendant's life, ordered the man to make imitations of precious treasures that had already been lost.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHKQEazq1M
For the counterfeit maker, who always called himself a genius, it's a pretty easy thing to do.
If only the noble's daughter's hand didn't slip and let one of the valuable breaks, surely they wouldn't have noticed the little word "fake" written inside so quickly.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKOeIURuRe
In one of Gloriville's towns, where it receives just the right amount of exposure to the sun, has a moist atmosphere, and very suitable to live in, a small repair shop is quietly opened. The employee of that shop is a dashing man with overflowing charm.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglPB4mtV1P
One day, a blushing girl was getting pushed by her friends to enter the store, and she was almost suffocated when she heard the employee talking to her with his magnetic voice.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0xrlbvth5
Toast looked at the broken pocket watch that she placed on the counter, and after unintentionally let out a laugh as he shook his head, he brought the pocket watch to the inner room.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN0HySUbKH
「Master Attendant」 :
"Th-th-th-this is! This is a pocket watch made by Gloriville's most famous watchmaker!! Who's the bastard who broke it!!!?"
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad5mE2fXcq
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk06aKN7UO
After blurting that out to the girl's face, whether it was because he was captivated by the girl's looks, or because the girl thought that his words were funny, no one knows.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDJZe1ppCg
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1naYJmm9EY
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYOW9UJAdp
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDNvnct4k9
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Bjqw9Ebp
After the blushing woman handed over the lunch she brought to Toast, and just before Toast thanked her, a face peeked out from the shop's entrance.
