【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMThEKNfKKV
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB67OUlDCw
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ8pPoWpqt
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqw9tLWhL1
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE81aymNs2
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVx62m5Ef
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxx8mGAiYY
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxXwbS64Nv
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2Q4w5GLN
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiBf1UzRZh
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS3lSqeEFN
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQsTHrtC3
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzHjxGYGwD
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5dkSuZgPo
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4V6Jd2EIP
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7On3E0bsn
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMsV3E8k7J
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhbzU1nLT
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mbAvQIjBR
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZngkBpZohQ
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJswNb1xLGP
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQe4UDqvCF
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7dkCkkfgj
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7W8GLCEGX
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUVFZUJTJA
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZyzpDT5L
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8TellILGh
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjVsW9lSoq
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSepbDpMe1K
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYigviTtGe8
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WVH9ECSeG
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbKb5lzfmC
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJnWhrAMbF
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCf7OzIqP6
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSJfLl2iZF
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXy3SyqJ7f

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dybONMWU0
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSZYfhSgd4
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M1k9ijZ34
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbcpAwpINe
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KenzfEgK7
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtAfwVua6F
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TlXMczdns
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO76CusJs0
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY41SKy0PN
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RhDlyI3Tx
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."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GVwkFIaC
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaxQ2jvE2K
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bMcsN8IO8
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPG6SJsHlq
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIBftTiBxm
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XAlQLuTM6
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaAdxBaLXM
B-52 : "Yes."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7AHd106kP
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bX7vwan6B
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jAM1S46Df

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckOng2umwR

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjNsaTd1V
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YAW9PDsP2
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8ZXC69CD
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz76hy4SY8
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1w7k0EZRr
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBhyK19ie
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeumiiy8rv5
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yeaKwC0JZ
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQfopyLknO
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXzYXbiGj
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMw4Cj5XQ
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZ2XUMj0z
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelqh3fJsG9
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZdEIBbpT
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlwEBlv1oH
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiCDo4mBBW
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR05OlRVzo7
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJsTryn0k2
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBIp77Ua1T
Toast : ".................."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6umVEo2Yu
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZzocimQ8
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqzubbWl0
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe59WzzjwVQ
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEpyeM8Qwi
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgx25I0yO9
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPh1UmuyQ
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJbyN6SK6g
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuhN5icr7Q
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqQaH7DaPf
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAUao62SaY
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gtc6okkSn
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZqowLhruI
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzbLbRaJ1C
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCi1wrov8o
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQWsgmB4d
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Lpu41mAq
Just what had happened here?
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLJU8bfAh
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDkcu8N4U
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5jQy7ek1h
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAIsVVhgve
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIc5cboT44
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn0ucitZen
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNSS6n0PZK
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PMqcENLJs
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfwUyBD5yS
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHN52xPyu
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWpZdlvlvq
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXGFiBuvBT
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ49wzKIBc
「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."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO4PJaMS19
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6Us875qA
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR5JEyKIuF
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYrJT3wEdj
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA5C3lMZZB
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTwpdseKub
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlnkxy8Gfl
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5wkFOKXLx
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vnpKiildE
「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!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLCkbCcaal
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8wXjcI47g
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSIqmeDLyI
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5XJNICmWE
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj73IfHOsL
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxdTT4gx41
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxZQppW20D
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6jLGD9dGl
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxP2V4mcX3
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibtsuFfmxO
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIVPDyNtHP
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CjbCmkd65
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p9MeCjNpD
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZiYnB6UeR
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmssGRg9RBU
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY8CVXdpLa
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqxFUMya3
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmt7jduWRs
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HMPv2JB9A
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcmjRiF4eO
In the end, he got arrested.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ2VFjImER
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZMy3o2LIk
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7RWvSm5p
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZkukg3UcX
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdmS47yJDg
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai8Cmkyq8Z
「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!!!?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6OxN1BTQn
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJfSG463th
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6mYTpGkyD
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwU5rztz08
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBtm4ayZze
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcpqHDkyb
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvpFrFIvud
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.
