【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53p6GzIA27
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOqm1khXwD
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF9vHTa4xN
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnbXVUAxf
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzHLKBwkeE
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWoCZGk8xO
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyaeXSmOGp
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWKnloU8gp
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGQVxcIvkP
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cJOJtTuEW
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UdPpB4uLx
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTXbWu1RtW
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBI98S2Z5s
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bdDiTojzF
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcsKBpxhdc
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKewlqiXd
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPwGs8crJn
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pipNH1nPy
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFleLQ0PKHh
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBETGb2hWB
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn1CYdDplr
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi13pqymzx
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCpbL48Bbp
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vVfNudCmR
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dVgza78cE
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUEXdJOO8d
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpovbu5DzO
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6WD8U9cx1
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCTt1Y3cL1
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BTYUt4MjY
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLp2PBycoT
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoPd88lZF5
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I8bga3r0X
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcNsrGsFnC
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gUbzYONcb
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7LTbOFC0

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGezPrRDnK
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiiBlumOVa
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq0FZFX6fj
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxP22LyyCp
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlrSpjcBC4
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3brG88A8sf
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWShygiYMDJ
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Q2e5esJH
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wLZ7OSkb
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GSRkImFEk
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."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0LWeiBgv
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa7WfY2bQB
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTrsv4Xtje
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0rCMIzTQj
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaA2OKmadK
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9HnWz5ZcP
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoecSgZBa84
B-52 : "Yes."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcz8ofV1XH
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccX4QiHy3W
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJWDhVqTZ4
B-52 : "Human?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM8E5SHLEo

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1omCjkAPD
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34UpLUG4p
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6bMrSNmg
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffI8oO1YYo
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvnvYOTuDG
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xWNgfggzw
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGy0V311aD
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ024OGomOl6
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8jFihkReO
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWC4RS8dNf
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx0MTrUy3u
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWXUzAy9qF
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRn8vZAiU0
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWbVOllWIr
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6pc7inN5U
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgmiOxKRL4
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfpfCWXbEg
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd8H7ySqpo
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGuN3BLPDT
Toast : ".................."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gW9UQmur4
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOSNIqiCaq
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGETqhe4sy
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtnH3NCLQv
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgeLNdWQ0F
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIjbBOIgeh
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbBN7nhzNA
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1kYXqjYAx
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVn0LW3L1h
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxudNGWpItr
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAHVfN3Q9V
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf6k9fujfS
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqNbtSNWRg
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLfZwrr5BU
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDIA59SRlw
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa53apmG9Lw
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQywNn81C0
Just what had happened here?
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps7K0UwW1B
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt6weq224b
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NAN3w5DuW
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd5vi9QVdu
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2T6l9fE0C
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnCaiN1afo
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtGgCuYUUY
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPXmIUdvrF
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrklVZbAR2E
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXByxhOHkre
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhas8oe4MjR
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyxpdeFVgF
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYV6RK6qUC
「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."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH9KNWNvY0
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCCXciuKTI
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0OO6FOr16
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T2697iJVx
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslLzBMeNjE
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1fh4vXBwN
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0szmzun97
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjhZ4h8NFv
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsjal0nqbA
「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!"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgFGrQhJoO
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ZPZOPZzF
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcN7rHppwO
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOM7lcECPX
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKBwJiXJ8I
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1I4ojFxmH
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h8FabGyLv
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB0MJibAkd
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0TFIb6Xdm
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq9dzCI7vm
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqArwAUjoH
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkqhPoB3S
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7qfCBQJSs
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlG268BhLb
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfttkPqnfjo
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULMvhVHluO
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QJTILSB3l
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBihETdN3n6
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD3TgxiNBX
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV1DsgwPSi
In the end, he got arrested.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3qOf3PuuQ
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2n5xnMOva
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvc5rHZ8oF
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlgiMW4M0Y
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggihPj1jqj
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU6HTOtiVb
「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!!!?"
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAL3YuK6nq
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ZDBTk4Z7
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.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCtztsKQn1
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7NpnMp7pI
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7IxVXAy4M
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3t4ZuRBQ2
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg0yNEJZzJ
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.
