【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKALT2wiQmh
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcevAzDtjXk
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dMsCPgYqV
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOe6hY3wQu
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFnB6Gb0LL
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU3poJw5LX
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEag0VO7Kj3
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPzcIZpvlW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ehk7g62IC
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GwsYoxxA
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOVBxXPaFN
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70rDZbR0jf
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwILKUe1zby
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjfd9j4xRo
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe0EG2OMD1
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLoqPkjtXY
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpoxKJT8tK
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnpw33j8Al
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJISD0lpP
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWU5soyRcV
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJCoJvHtNz
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetVnFECo55
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi4W1JV8l7
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lTtH6L3J7
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatx3nEjc8r
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtHKy3AgbE
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ4oQrsSiR
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTy3yWMeV
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjaJfCp2H
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvnDULCpeF
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTpC8TBz7B
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6XdpeqD4
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPKevCURS
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrJG7i4M8m
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MEWPxC8l8
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkadi07tBcQ

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnggsNrYFl
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFRfMBCMTg
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAd7tPRQvQ
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rsT7d20dg
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PSOkrmvXe
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EAr8ZJiaY
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Jm17yCUM
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CyfQvFcZz
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl86GIdZbI
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOEqsS8CyL
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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrDI0Y858U
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QFlYuhqLJ
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxhSoqLkon
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H7X8Hx5OJ
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8VPTifFME
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrqPmeLCI0
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrJEFVS7hP
B-52 : "Yes."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcD9UHqjWO
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mhNnT0BIB
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjYvBzIS51
B-52 : "Human?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEWbv1lQqd

"Yeah, That's right.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkf9bSI1ZM

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9OEPx0M5
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN60pgrTTk
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab57sDc8Be
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8V4COHxTz
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03myQmMAH4
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwnWDs4PHK
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDyUkqRNnl
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3CKL1ekm9
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5EfqNOmV
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFhqJhid1h
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNehPkDLCw
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAGSYOyj1D
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrP8LC1WiJ
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AzeZQ8Gh8
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ulLWMnGV
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoj9JPzqCs
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5kPbWUDw
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9XH9vYXO9
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8diekZcC
Toast : ".................."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr5GGxdFU8
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMx2IOTvct
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39JVgfX84y
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDZDcauft
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp4DysASLO
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGjCAEMIr7
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG9KnLI865
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlFAeWSZHh
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSmE8algN
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y9j7QXU1s
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxSu7XZcmR
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYK0GDilmw
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOUFyRSs5D
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtqh11tBfy
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDpHzNZ6Yv
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNjy2HhBU
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfyWAp8vkl
Just what had happened here?
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2gxoZNO4S
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiFRgEwq9Y
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnStr6fxSA
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV97wGI32qm
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4bd7nOO5U
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjhGxIQN9M
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssyScbCLuM
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHnuQDhVet
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz46HXDrM5M
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zuUWma4x
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYQBhTOvlR
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyzHnIfuwN
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZu9gF8Xye
「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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP3iGCXbV0
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypwlfkyh51
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdNyJIcB1m
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmDxL7lxiG
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw88uZMWLN
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0yNorEce
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJPbFCDZ8P
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJAVGo9A8L
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZhCtdYExh
「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!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPswcC1QGPE
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nryp5fdq5
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yO0P99UH9
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD3768hHCT
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB5kWkBHwf
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNl7vxu09D
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EYgSc5UCA
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZSUAH7Ved
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr3NeqW2Tk
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmlQkTx2UZ
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2P5OSp8Rz
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgKMmcsrX
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR1WgFds4c
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGBK0rPbi8
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXJQY1766b
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MnP66jM4l
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKJiJgSYcO
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7EDfPR2l
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZynPazJaw
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZOXB7ujfC
In the end, he got arrested.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ez1pKBnx
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwcth1Tpm
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGE0fKRmIA
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXPJ5ufRq
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYYEFmUwBg
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP626US7kSN
「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!!!?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrrinenFaZ
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OyEIY6IkD
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBibCSg0VKu
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuMrgXLcsF
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SacX316eO
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncrys1B2RV
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnqMGE5PQ
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.
