【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MoeGTEaGe
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaUbOxGveT
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt1HRpQY1n
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5gmo3EWxe
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxJJVNlsFg
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdoXY5ZZCQ
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGe4wLn9lS
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsKnDyTDTN
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggLoVsv0Ev
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9yNaJ1tNZ
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc0C2iduKi
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbHVwog25c
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHS7gTXd9u
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dBBGgH9Iv
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9peB9LBPj
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdFSc4eYSe
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalOAUxKLM2
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2cz3bX5hO
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1i4zwCZKY
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXluJOMVQ0
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCWzDYo69d
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjh8cZ9QfW
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPyCuau615
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyuYRh0K5Z
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ILAQNQiT
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4srPark9l
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZwg2ZjsEQ
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjbGKYKr1
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwh5dim36J
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxeU9jeNW7
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi0TICzXIf
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ib5Fe9OP
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruCFOuyKqd
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumLJJ2ofz
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK1NRf6Fjm
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX8X5FMAWg
??? : "......"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6l9blH2LC

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSL8fHRLm
B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv0Gd0Jsv8
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7yncOcmC
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0I9jyFzKt
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pfU20RgPx
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ArDG8WAE
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv3oBZWkzy
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJISc4O6BUP
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsHJil69Wr
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6l4YJ82Sv
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF582KFnzoW
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."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbiHpR0dP
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkElKiW13V
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ytJRPRDs
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHVHzBf0F9
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWZIsHnsuB
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmB2iE3pnI
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLDsi6ezRc
B-52 : "Yes."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3U3h1rcf
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiIIp3TDjZ
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ20fHIF4m2
B-52 : "Human?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPbUc83U7
Toast :
"Yeah, That's right.."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6cVS7riyO
Toast :"Someday, when you finally understand that you're alive, i'm sure you'll understand that you, yourself isn't a lifeless machine as well."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzdaURmkLW
Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr8XL3HYLB
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvxlUj9qZV
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelE0xZKRTy
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfkzrRW6Gr
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFf0ltkPxH
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAn8nTqHg4
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZzxHSnnwE
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6r8GvdKf3
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpK6gw9Zws
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37d9PskUSm
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgprkKYB5Ks
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyDxXFrP1
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQpgSUk3I
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9gmsUa9Gn
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5JCMWtfSG
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxpyg7Cjea
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGM4Yc8Ek1
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuCBkorSqX
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY65aV1gCxa
Toast : ".................."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg7PqO7azW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vWXw1NppN
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlKIAUx7KN
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAi5ZzS58U
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyOLOpKIvZ
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLr2Uv4SQZ
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg0WfFD44f
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQXok4UF0a
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Z60DTvlk
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwHcMA7yKH
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmd5LYi9G
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9DO7GECTS
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4RfPixyRN
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8KR7CCz1o
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwiePcKtS7
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgknwpDGNY
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrpqubeO8B
Just what had happened here?
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmNccavTxO
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQytg5ZAOW4
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwuB3os5uJ
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWQ2mVUY50
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQuOhjTccO
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4s5bzehJ9
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIkoNYUqUd
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzRgXQaIag
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC1C7SfSyH
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cx2ewdfpv
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA03n1vSUPa
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8c7lpSaNR
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8hMmyhvT5
「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."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYGIZaLCUY
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxv6qTmiE
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHssqdKJhT
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrutMUpmIM1
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpIUBo3CCC
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJeVhMNQ8P
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMdnkTrHjf
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf77nsM1El5
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBvsyc8uz
「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!"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pxw0qt8OD
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPi1Ocz96z
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoPKZtM4nM
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaehIZBYcTg
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jVFAuE9uS
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXHANZnSho
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TsYgflQVq
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDRobJzwa
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60zaHrAUQ7
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJURzl67Hlu
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kuttLVp5Y
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4OXQsXd99
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiok9saT92Q
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudnwq3LMEx
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ZXZLkOtq
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ9L9VuAQ8
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhV28hkF7P
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyT8kswaCx
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmHKFzsVnb
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6oUuxXyI0
In the end, he got arrested.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mdr7vG3bS
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4SZFXPfpE
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfooE4cBB2E
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx23yohb0a
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwuOT1X3Iv
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiyzKU1InF
「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!!!?"
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mvjHdczmU
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWtbDhLOhS
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.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H4XinzG8R
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOHwHaPZih
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mmFSpXsSe
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPD5EKHZA
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr3fVw3qN8
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.
