【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kNiZG9Fza
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMgYdYy59v
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvi4tShFFk
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvGHBwZfyJ
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqPrT2vvS
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Rw3uQrci
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOxudoNdv
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZY5EHbzez
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMvbNdkbtV
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28jBPkxckW
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTfx0Gvgga
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXtAeI8zW
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjegqtSA48p
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYlM8EvOFV
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMoCjrUvp1
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDycRRUYF
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRUcXhJSPW
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tcXfwMAKb
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jF2MUGqYo
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSBPqjBXV0
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkBCNQIf62
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCn6ZXC2R1
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIDUf1AxHM
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97w8tQYpaA
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDJkLqr2NA
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjzRjx6h9T
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaREFZAo5jb
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97pWy0xs8E
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfcYwVoBK8
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpgBr3Wj3X
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLP4LVBdtD
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJJ20GMysg
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9OQc7ElJo
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm03E1qDyr
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT4SZTSSDX
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoTmgrK8sk

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoWqfp4slS
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu6leu7DFx
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR8z1UxfoI
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnyB9fHsVq
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrQNx0CQcp
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcrYbaNkdw
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhyFf5dPtD
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoLnZ1jsbd
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G4shmJaik
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd2NEqCulu
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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx5A1qyW5P
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KHbcWpUX5
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsBzNrJ8QZ
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XQt4fboE5
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJQT7vOSzu
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12z0nGhV1f
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhrdSJKQEm
B-52 : "Yes."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ820oR2t9fb
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQY9JbrYsQ
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFD6icJnZc
B-52 : "Human?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiE253J9lv

"Yeah, That's right.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKiQp0V6Sx

445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cWz8M7Qz2
Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSCAcgrEIz
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEN7aw09sW
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGcWVCR0Nm
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoT9WEL7Zv
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYAW37ta6O
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRWouzsHXT
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyCDoaPkLZ
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuwgbTYJQl
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjOSMnBoOV
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyFfrzXxa4
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0wUHDZr4f
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvFuJzqHVj
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pl0tf1xd6
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjGeqH6hLP
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAff1E5gqzY
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIICGlD1dG
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjPhAttkZe
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURJqwY4YB1
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg508qc4Ol2
Toast : ".................."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPov6TpYNx7
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFHREV1xcG
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw8HaHITMv
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprcrVNXNV8
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc78odRO8y5
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaouqV5ySHd
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wZAJ7iB49
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W89YkzsYU
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRRRRkiETi
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGETBwfDCW
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3opd1bNyE
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoIehTXtfF
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87zw0bnLC4
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokiC9iZ8Bo
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MihXhUZsZ
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIRN3eZFxp
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CdXP2yAST
Just what had happened here?
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwwyEGHgk4
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qmhZ6GXGe
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVcjUyYAt4
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhNMNXIjev
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIW5DUeKqB
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE6nokUDQD
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmYcL8MLpC
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuKKoAklC0
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a288wapOE
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOsmHP6loj
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqPS28JUc
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKo1sUq2r
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qpdeoxYO
「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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9AVAZQKrl
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtClFQeI0W9
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BvWcDEOk0
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M4zxBvUfm
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9YTmv6jeY
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BBoz93vQc
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaAJic7LQf
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99yiZGic0e
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToQQwKTRQg
「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!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ChpS4vLa
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmylbrtFYU8
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhmFxGtP1N
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2PlCxo3Ln
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXXu8xJalR
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Wl23lvCt
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrxfCXa6No
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuBQhSW8X
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdhi7VqTY2
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYMjLxs6oM
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGl7qH3VPS
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf74zBZBZni
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKQkx9v3ye
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDf4Df19aY
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH5iYbSYXH
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJYiLkw2Vm
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwQBr4mQra
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiMEMSzZXA
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47GmyJhnLj
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvZVeHO4o
In the end, he got arrested.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt0sXVw3tC
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMsVd1OU5X
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4IzyhsF4a
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y3YANp1aP
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7skjtOgwmu
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5tb8LvnrD
「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!!!?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcB7WahjH8
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPH2wq5Cxz
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhN5P59CdN
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpAnySSSXJ
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22aW88NUnE
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBHRleHVxT
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8re2K2cPX
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.
