【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKgcqBKIfO
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8TIiGNPL
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw2DnGLFIA
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQKGB5Su0
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQhJPqjPC3
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAGltFhlfo
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWtLxqjQhk
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZtFcLfR1p
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRruhZEFAwo
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnrHOAphvJ
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWDckbybd
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiM02knEap
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kuGMlSWNZ
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xPiL3yQbw
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn9dV13pBZ
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Gs3HNOeE
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqLrsFUW47
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyXpdxPN5x
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzyakK7ju
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREQ6r5kyQR
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmHHNfjtws
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0HjU0QvL1
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAWYL158C8
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiEN4EGTiI
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCStdfezgA
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vcGyB1Mcp
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zqnZ7dYE4
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1sjeizF8w
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVYBvB994J
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMD8LRrdGQ
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIIPdl0R0q
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDkHhZT0pY
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK4or9TTQS
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I3mnrmNgE
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK3m55HeLM
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJKBNzHJ0L

484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwydUmIWJoK

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG14RPK3nvk
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWjP7oz7T6
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHNDGMo3vT
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFYVN4Fu9X
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4yEsPLjEc
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahKClDComb
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCqMWqszcU
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWczxdL1Hrc
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5csiJUZqxB
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNe7p4xzhT
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."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNcxdDNMr
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY7S5QYhqP
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjTZQREHh1
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgmz3KDowm
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82qd2xbxJ
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqnSgkm6I4
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KlGndsnEe
B-52 : "Yes."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRfmKj8uVR
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0WzI0jWBq
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxKcj3rTjz
B-52 : "Human?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGx5yLdf5w

"Yeah, That's right.."

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XMtap4huB
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrgaalLGre
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyKW10Iuqa
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfc2jjsqcJ
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9fD5TidGk
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIPZBHhU4h
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8uoWYr7KS
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2IpCWhAMJ
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbZpfUtVj
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01usAzIWvh
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsXvhr7dVD
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30SLSmp4NS
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85MfdOZMoc
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDhlblpoTl
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsVuSen08N
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI53kCi6wH
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFyUmIn2zX
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdSqeKHBv
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5yLbLZ2bs
Toast : ".................."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes9cGR0enN
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89jcqVHcf
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdv7Z0Wc43
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ciiCU2jn
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GV1LMAs9h
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr0hjcacHi
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TkILml5pb
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqYA4gIbDg
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrQtZgVJzU
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NlgQmkUv3
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInixfifRCy
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jyDlDEyMt
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu65eko8wf
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHEZkblxpA
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRaDxCTx8O
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBrVnY6Wrf
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ikEtXkMf2
Just what had happened here?
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1bE9Cbyd
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubhSMSJzXV
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfeNUiAZAi
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGExpUPtA9
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB2iPQghPs
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdhan1EHrt
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kb3cEArva
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh73CIpoGI
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxwwYtIES
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7McIOBx1Ba
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbSEpAF1A2
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcx9nxA2zZ
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJFHL7iWDa
「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."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGHcVsRmbn
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnWenMIK0L
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRmoJ6sejs
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx9imoS3xO
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQX0Wsxcm8
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLNPkxZWYU
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOEZrwWhqn
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGDuY2FCzW
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovcQu7e4E
「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!"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9zUGtf6IR
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oLLQnu5kz
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9LBDDXbX
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzxkPEVvs9
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmdta3sN9v
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqVsjd15d
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBVyJoX57
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzFRUDwiVC
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pNZT06rrP
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DYFibPKF8
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrhrr0tbc
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNPCT1NRnL
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTcdLvdQ07
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewASUCxa8B
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ066NNjuool
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQbXKd0kR3
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeWhvatoPl
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0jRELUG4j
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmArdcoHRRs
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMNCWK4yY7
In the end, he got arrested.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxobkWjIZM
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahNLD0AUYe
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe9Q2c3CpE
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvciFWWJRZ
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnrNtK9qux
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmaYJKczA9
「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!!!?"
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJjncmjLyu
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uVSDEVRGl
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.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CsYRfHOC
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc965inGpW
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV57wYIuao
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVPeQfwQpl
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o1EIEzLbg
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.
