【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C3xb1FTzZ
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd479tkbqD
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7OiHAF51
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U190bqVvH
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf1ZeCGrxW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbaPi1QwRh
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpktnl7Pkcr
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMNbvX0vI
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG06qcK7Y0i
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4c01UK45J
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8jhdyLQYr
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaV1JYKZY9
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTF2OqXNRv
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBh4eHX58P
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwKruLyl1Z
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD3jUfx2Nv
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcb0ZDafPy
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpiNe7zS7
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡickweMP7ee
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8PrGQmGNn
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezEIdGQpBu
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcok2l8g90C
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sxRwi1lNz
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJ4OFZ98B
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dDX0IcjFD
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqBRv6eECE
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGzdxtmhan
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0Y93ZGj8l
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrggfRwRzON
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKuykpuPnR
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd5o1cWcJO
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeaMRkWd19
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpIerfSsW
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINopVvnNfB
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxXTR0SBPG
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxvosCPwh9

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhuY7JZAd
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Jc78sDEV
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3IeSyxDYI
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdw9YzjEvl
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEwclN3ZRq
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19gjd2RF3w
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBStFWtEUi
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWVTv5WTji
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvWERH2RQN
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGVdLMrP1i
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."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddVDbafHZb
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutFfAYeYNc
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3drUqxNtP
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl0Ki8SlKG
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdgGNTtNHE
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Wk67P1TR
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjVsQ2iK8J
B-52 : "Yes."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIEl9yNHlK
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALBVZgRIdg
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Ax1XN9AD

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNYp1zbEOf
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpb1adwtis
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNdIeyoWbT
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm9KBVFYyv
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgsfwWNh9Z
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYY4pfRjnO
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnttTYztlY3
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbqJBk99jq
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmPOg4cAdb
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jPgcTQHfY
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGBghjHVAz
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFEvwytS8n
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMDsvwZJYr
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN4wyLhKNi
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKDA1dxyjd
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAb94tsOWx
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNy2EmrwS
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLdPp1mtM
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvpWDuzGMp
Toast : ".................."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkNAXUDKL1
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEbs3yIJn8
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynaJfajygJ
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUSVzG9Fgv
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQBkSgDqgF
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaAKo3eqWE
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lGKoAxJFc
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJpMUr4qZE
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mav6TVs0y
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lu7RY0Jh2
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7HB89MAid
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMATI0p3c
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIuIMd4RgT
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wMor5oOAp
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW6KihUNYi
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXNd2NcZsM
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVAoEatZF1
Just what had happened here?
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fRGjmCf9a
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7dLhipNZg
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lTiZRnUxV
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgzGZ0kNLT
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9E2PIRI38
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTh3TLth1N
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVxuZO4Rl
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uqGHUYlHN
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZEmMbT5zq
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RVvI2AiN
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQVHG4XSIW
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTpHp3r9Hz
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnTfEPiLNN
「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."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTACPLj8TxR
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmlRkB4awj
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQz5SYXcOU
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu03RfDw68O
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwZrZbofHz
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYbFNfJIZ8
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz09upeDj1
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRWVNKg2vX
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGccUuZFUO9
「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!"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFxK0iM6s4
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ehwAp2HE
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImhGFmrgG1
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulNpggjJbb
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DcCfwIafP
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCArsxReX2h
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPyP8L29wd
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiw04sRcos
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mubO1A3to
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRFjXfi2i1
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4jG5xvj5
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkAmjype32
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWzw7vPl1Q
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7sx0C9y71
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cW0VSpBHb
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnMnaLW0gr
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIihFIWh0ht
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrhCo7eyE
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5tQj6cjd
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofV5mEo6Rt
In the end, he got arrested.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxJ9jsXTfd
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOasw6Y0AVy
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnO0plCrS8
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYvCjkBRim
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8jeoucx1e
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSGH127Tb
「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!!!?"
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIfydZxp68
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPb8bFyjAy
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.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Skd0gEgxw
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR68BnzG06K
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIeCbBr9BL
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1s7LT4G8Z
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b6ohHPpbT
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.
