【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AYKUVVimF
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsldIqLQMc2
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gl63XDLZU
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNe4XcnIE
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbok4bXS9Xc
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCuY3vwM91
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR9ADNSnEo
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe0nHy0wp0
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBYQSlwXs
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxIsUariU
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq691PTO3t
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmK8HIWsq9
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3puwJihw6I
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJ3is1Jju
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimunOLO4UK
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBhgwuJYhL
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVADtotxH00
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUxJYMwpte
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa872A3xgbN
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA8y0a54pQ
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPGosQ4FgY
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rgT88FHCi
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz7auElUgW
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNYFWTvokY
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGIZLD4iN
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Lp8tqA3a
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTemZ646Pbb
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwGxSFogaW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGNbFV1QU1
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYaHisieLN
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFviC18u9e
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLibe5rq7Yk
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZVe439Pu
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzuK76W0P6
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWrsMLOpew
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7owzgHxnpH

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcnle54Suw
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvuWrw6ZIH
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXk4PFWX6Q
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9ckjreaL
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksvGpzIoT2
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln6AHoqAOS
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0remu4IO
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vELgOg7Qw
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOop8wM6GQ
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuMdOiLScn
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."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAkwoaIYVW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQJXTpWxwg
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDOJYGQKIz
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCv1iSmEv
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqyP4IQAh4
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWsJZoQryU
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg3fhYiaDN
B-52 : "Yes."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSZa71OI6
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlom1VhbQ4
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQGl3UExW
B-52 : "Human?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVtP0GrciU

"Yeah, That's right.."

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPbZs292p8
Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXLedSAW9N
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncdROzJ7EI
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f7ct0idIM
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7UJ8rSLr4
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggoi0Au7ps
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzOVud3AX
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPu5m3GY3g
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj4gEr689Q
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskoB4MUpyh
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOlVBgFJV9
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu2mtkG0m6
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU1MJf0Jc8
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pfQvUlF3x
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsovVngzQSl
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcoXgDvvjY
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRLYmtMCab
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w1P0mFRSJ
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJWARhulKn
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gyingM93c
Toast : ".................."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWIBIJ6cfx
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cAeD3Z3CI
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR10fe5mT0r
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWQ8MQtO95
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhASScuOCE
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdzsjQBLm
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUaxlRspDZ
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvS5KeiitN
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlswCTGHMp
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxa5GL2W1
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWUY4SJEN9
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0rq4UueOL
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmG9Hb9vj7
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeDV87XlNi
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIr2rWiPd
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9IufKo7jV
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UGgq1X4ML
Just what had happened here?
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpriZ3gbPI
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYgukw6rBv
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xOZM4wdOk
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13moU8GKDk
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEZrEx9MT
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3z9khisDi
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNEFFL5zV
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7fZrjN0zF
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsMUryZuES
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zD7jiCmgt
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos8QrAXBSl
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkXF83iHgE
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrq1ck0HGG
「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."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYs5a1jNc
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9JTqbSucx
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpAeEBR4y
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyLdazxzw9
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUQScMVHGy
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBpHEf4vMJ
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQhcef0JCJ
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYiOEqWLLb
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMqWmctMmb
「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!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkM6oBI3VA
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN0pBWsRy2
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3Od311NJ
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB90oBmiu5
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIQJwJL5h
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwA2mxg2ca
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIqFaCHiLt
He peeked his head out, and after confirming that our pursuers had long passed through where we were, he turned around and asked..
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpXH5k3Qi6

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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXXrYVhiqk
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJOOhXj6a
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuMGXZKBG9
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4JVqOxOP0
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbrjbH0xKL
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYumGmQKCu
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KBt33wsQd
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjympJf0mjr
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpK5RS26bD
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSgGWMkhod
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPxFRczYtv
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3HvN9l48u
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkYHVZ74XN
In the end, he got arrested.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDROuII1XR6
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwitFxcWBhI
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGr3aKu56
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xxV1zEklj
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1eKdHM2l
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecwlBLnSBp
「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!!!?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLWkrg4C88
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp87qjObFc
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjuF7IFFcx
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQTewnjIKN
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsmCGoBAKU
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBJ1KIlUm6
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBdHKdZt0d
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.
