【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr6NSebL8U
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuQ0FW8gkN
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8d18acFOm
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iv4hlCoY4
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV50NAryzLn
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg9qAgTBtz
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivbvtQ5gJA
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrzlPESFoz
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsfJziPsLd
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZBYsjehIv
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehzjZ37cS
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP6566SwIN
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wp6jFyHap
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMDM5GCRAd
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFripqIKIOI
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeEAqoqM0L
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWPr7080Fw
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFHz5mTwBc
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPyjBRHjrg
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr02AKVubYO
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqiKLgvZCI
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW12sN0WLJs
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepV9kig5jc
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHPg7Zh7f1
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpotXFiOMO
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrUXhSM651
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy9H80b2Qq
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPxC1ueQCt
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjwnoWsrZP
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCrf40kFoY
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaHp8ECrQj
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssm4M8Q4vi
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd4ZDgF9hf
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s7U4OWUZG
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEgRBIhqbS
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczZNa47qlf

439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQb5vh6ZJl

439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EdffaTf17
B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8rYa1FxRw
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxAGOLqcJx
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJrmpVpXNQ
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW492snGEY
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3CCTeoWcJ
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6O2jHsFi
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVm5AE4XP6
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FXoH4krK
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7JTqVBxnU
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wD0BSJvk4
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo5eBFE6vm
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWRiMgWda
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHMFCBhi5r
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqnlsAu55
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLujEZrqDW
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Xo8TmnAT
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7dBwooYOm
B-52 : "Yes."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTbnxXMWkm
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwc3iAmCSE
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKXDj1YOKS
B-52 : "Human?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZT3I7jMy

"Yeah, That's right.."

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZTp6iJt06
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hf4rd62vB
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZWZJGQKl
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXr9bgj5HV
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4y8wVNCIn
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqouPtV6qS
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOgyws5AM
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40sYBUTeoM
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJsb4sk02E
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0G7p3GZSu
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgp9sCm7kU
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3zAa7B0d
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGANdNTtNPh
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcmBstq6cZ
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWta035JF9C
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF14gcmv9ZQ
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WdehrZGgn
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtD5BZqRVs
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupcv6oXkRn
Toast : ".................."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHmhNETQem
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ77I6gfhZJ
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0QTCc8QOR
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxdsRHjn84
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3pHuUyudm
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGb1RfAHzb
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1dvirvc8i
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2ZVU0hamu
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP6iak8XyK
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Gdq4kHEw
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrLYfnDOYI
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhf7LxlWgb
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDO73XWo5
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH7u64IUam
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHP1DDpf4o
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI60WmVHf9
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRczH2Wl4mn
Just what had happened here?
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAukc0CF6s
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGCYr4LCe2
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwzYr3vOGV
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oXbXqfD0N
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp5T3Fm7cp
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxFufpDbjC
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIuM0uQCGt
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtJSL1drhj
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a0CS3d4hp
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkMqchWwkO
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbNO0wWrQi
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGPXLh4HWc
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yA0I9IV8k
「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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gSGB4mb7P
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTOGoddzm
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4itKKN5IEe
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PAH7tQj0w
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38RMdCOAFB
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6kpWhTmtM
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSKs9cL0Oj
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGpeQTQ5EV
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOgCorNdin
「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!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsoq2futZV
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamkHqelihG
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBwELr685v
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8tWVrUzBR
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjou3zaKTn
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6n9e5M0JJ
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWuwuo3U0H
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu24cw9a2t
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFYuLdF7nd
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSeD07CM3q
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd6g2mlhX1
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWSzCcRdjJ
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeYuooNeXD
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN8nSPvDfA
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYsC5VChG
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQIpJdRXf
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36UiCYI802
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lEA5v81St
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNHtZqh4Aw
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3y1J4uafj
In the end, he got arrested.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpnkfY0Ocd
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHMNyyKaDM
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3D7i8nVaM
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE2bbevO5f
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8Vuu11aW
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnySQvfo1oY
「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!!!?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoBbRxOxn5
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsg5jeepbE
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSeBKPlOj4
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S6UnVmhBt
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn1eSJO4vV
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAukJEt46t
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcWoHWibwe
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.
