【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ilhZlGNod
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQnGJjl2dg
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMAHbStHx
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbvVqDwwVW
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTePhRRygGL
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKjeSuRb9D
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgojALyoNB
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx0z8kHhOV
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT0C2F7llP
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkechu9mUS
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD0kbyAFYo
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Dm2zOM4r
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw52ajyR0Q
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dOp25nHNI
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYfb91V2Ur
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53EVYUiVBi
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6pUEjZXk
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XW4UkTKtF
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyAHpQbjs1
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRXCuznOEE
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrdfYu7nt
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzrutIgUhR
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU0aco0cpF
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrpOsETsHj
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOc6b3Y179
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCezNbS0A2
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBL2LUnxnR
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiUgumczQQ
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62y9ILSvJe
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Ptxhlnfk
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4tG9Tkhld
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjfNUzJUxP
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgQU4YjHR
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszEvHvUqM
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT11LFgweA
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB5zAZzUCf

380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZweFaZUrds

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFHmZ3b7SQ
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHxrbpMyKK
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcPHEBAMAR
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpq0jBxent
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKlAeuhrTB
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRZYIg39MU
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsThR7CSCPB
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehSNMxJot7
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rYVO8ubF
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH6uz9OgP9
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."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGA8RcCiQi
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ942vy7sVa5
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvHkwESSif
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0hb49kJiS
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk3RwsgZxw
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi28KnWPDN
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL89xOGP2Q
B-52 : "Yes."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzHEZu5iG1
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXC6R9BvpP
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAh5Pd3oip
B-52 : "Human?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHokgv6BWz

"Yeah, That's right.."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYTB82SBxa

380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIgyGZ9Sq0
Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMBewSDLc
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMlIK1uBE
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtYeMvTwCh
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcS5rXAzED
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w79cp9YjF
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLMLKU8nM3
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2SBP14VZ6
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH8oGYCBHj
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHlLIKtao
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSlqtyZ2QL
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8zmh0F5D0
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTC7jcJRH8
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMzgU7DPZC
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqO9Ul3qq4
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBfU4gOE5D
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYA5t2v8q2
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRMrH9jKzm
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wl1SGkJ6X
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUWGdYIYAV
Toast : ".................."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n5Y0fDoTZ
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79a8ohrzsW
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tLczypw6M
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXjr4kO07i
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5fYrB8w0M
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbDLFxGZcB
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHxkPWwzj
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7hislvAGj
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAnVHiq6WY
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEddHpQqAH
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCaPYRefMN
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQFtruG09B
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3zetggkzn
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJlIdOWxqY
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU2cq1rApo
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQwvnxTYNl
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzu4cTi9O3
Just what had happened here?
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwih2WLbFJX
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmHJ16MMof
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L3RKWYejk
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkurocJLDkS
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Wz0aR33n
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsRMlrKkm0
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqCdebHEtV
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5xmiLip91
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhLbhQWzMv
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeCBWqY78C
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux3hzVg0im
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeKwGGJArf
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTH5xqfpZl
「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."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXakt3pMNq
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQwztptlNk
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eDhn7zFVP
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH32c0H0Ky6
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSTW2D8WHP
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNdyq5hmvH
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZkZuBPP1Z
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8EbPQ3kli
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ffvVjDt8f
「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!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndAvgZJMrm
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpZfGbyLMA
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Xv8F0ycS
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIL4Yi7uUb
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb2nLBi1Wj
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxrCSln6Iz
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCnypRwQPQ
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdMONLF2BQ
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1cTsk681M
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRkkoLP155
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtVKhHADfg
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6o9EyznC
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn0f4UF9ru
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOpkYlqwgr
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLRzUd8YFS
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2WRaZkOkW
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzFXR7SXuW
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugdInaCeQX
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HKP61J1x2
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQmXV7pZEQ
In the end, he got arrested.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOiKbAZ5DA
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUHrkldO2
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZILLvVA8t
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEwE2UN9G1
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrKghJ912B
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPELbCGERwh
「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!!!?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9xAWQlqEO
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipZ5aMjpcM
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBFdjLUTds
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmONFzwsngP
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYoWr2Km4U
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79WeLkvmOp
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaeIUmn9pS
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.
