【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg9fVyQNwL
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRCOwQnGHq
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVBeU7mfOk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392hPEwDyV
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lmVQHtkXm
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFpHrkUNlT
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiwPUz4wEz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bchxz1xxB
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ELGK8TYV
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Ajyu7pBr
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBThKvO5Ba
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxXl6t7g2a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOgfWPxe97
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd05Y1SwdRL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNUsq3poQT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6JWWRZsAw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5av7tXfbwi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGc2MKv3k8
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ee18cT0U
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlThu1C9To
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLU1FCEHf1
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1f0t9I5He
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHYN6K46YA
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAHRYmoMEM
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWkYLsDb4I
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyoLP0pA3Q
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2qYWBhGlr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVRqz9LJbp
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemDkGj3W2s
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sZT0LOH6e
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLlmhGCKiH
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00u3bJrGap
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YusfDVFRw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLLFter4N3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4gAes725L
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jdHknOjkz

380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJ7F6OjZ9

380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj5wAizGKX
B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQNm9SopvX
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPCJ3drJKT
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIEmQXWEfw
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbkphyONZv
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmIu8FBgoh
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ111QQ3L9wA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9jWaUFrqf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1g4vm4d2l
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBo8AGlAzI
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIU1NI7uDV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cAogIzTiU
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsE5KSepSI
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0inpRBPOAU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBZzaYOy7i
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhACkIWAuTu
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwqjU4u58Q
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHEYZEUq4H
B-52 : "Yes."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy6d10vg4A
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcmC8ZYbCC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC7ZC5ki0c
B-52 : "Human?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCGPSsAD06
Toast :
"Yeah, That's right.."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL6JwMNDad

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpLno0ASc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoVh61tlIm
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwsTwhLXkP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAJKduZ91T
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeSWXXoaCf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUdcfUtj84
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh2Hl98Jz6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQnmxxDleB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGes2daOOgD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiXEt4Yy6x
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XtJwdW1q6
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThqBiTIGFJ
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFhlUZFFe
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGZAX1lOm
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHUQAv15ov
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaI8gbXGi4
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZlH78vOs5
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnrDs51IUJ
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMKkBNHg7L
Toast : ".................."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrD65S58WV
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHPsZhsZ6M
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexXATTv14D
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SuVR5V40k
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrX3fBitus
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlI2lYY7Jd
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdHFuAEl9J
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmZfkMfx9p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cYqrxoXZh
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZGzjsP6Gs
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOFFnH4lYb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxFCneXM0B
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8lLIkZ55f
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sRGXY3TGM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiIpqp8Vww
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcISVPDNie
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBQdQleFAR
Just what had happened here?
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTWBinvB8p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcKndIDSPC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYhqk4hqxq
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcSH2HICGZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIWp8gnbjs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIt2VUAWwE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8ntJXnhw
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICuY1ikSAN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZz5YIl9E2
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lONh0Qdw3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsnATroKS7
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSkoUt7c2G
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOCtl26kJ5
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XotLDMF5o
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGHKI1hGXN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEAVSPtOZB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtRTJjwzAc
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAlj8XAsol
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NtNJ1eYEy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yKKy9PK72
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsqXcKZK7S
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU9iFEM9DO
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEvcQTzLD6
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpi9Bb6SVC
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK2wupSdXC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu3LBQpJ2v
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbugQI8AT5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNH8sne0HO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0qWEwxgN4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JGrwt3J4N
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsgmBeNcp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW28RkixCPI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3GY1McgSp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0CWMK2Oe9
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGlCuZkxbt
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZkCANOXrO
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMynr7f3uq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuBxx7ooFJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKxFiDmtl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxFRVQCXyZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0jYKysCkU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS6FCkBFQD
In the end, he got arrested.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYtfGLRKjA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9H7MC396S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Br6CtkWXk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRY4LT2wmL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4hHlRTQQP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29zw4zOepP
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrVuMd4iDM
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEWUb2qgLT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFFg14AS4h
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRONl3lmlw
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXNz6YiWeL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzppdlfMhD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ8w5bO6qe
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.
