【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc97OTik5m
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJn6KZmB6W
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGlKlqWjIF
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjjgCbZRZd
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbzXD4R0SF
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGptsAO9lZ
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtypKvrf0bm
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAFSxXo9LO
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCTbHyOPNI
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bWdSHcSEe
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFxNeXMZr
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAfRunFqUy
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjYZZt6jW
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxa1atEkdA
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11lsPCqeLK
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEVWT1sd3b
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70O1SJjCFX
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMsDbb9K3F
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY7fwNZmN9
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDhXd7tT3E
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJNs5T0wA
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAr4LIvwUy
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAGgjEJplf
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHSKJTLUO5
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMfgoLus5b
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOnXbwQMVj
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ONDwalZdI
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz9WDcfCjK
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhv5NFnM5O
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFNkIz87wT
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8uyjZECEU
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDhA2dqLEX
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qkid8crbo
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfgpvhm4XR
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjedTm3ITJy
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i36p9vl9q

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98s8nTnu7J
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJATrRbTaIA
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNSgNyEde3
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kt0OjGVRb
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYAuhU4zuc
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgERDsngdV
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCYMyoD8sL
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1L7UyHtoA
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ynHOJtGN
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3BXgKSRv3
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."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxuTS1tYTo
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxEvk0tYOm
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbK0KMd7jB
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGs8t9QqZU
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiHZb2fu5F
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ285ePOnFrE
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnWe775IFH
B-52 : "Yes."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vEv8P2Nv5
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z5Ax4X1Zk
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewsXYD0bvQ
B-52 : "Human?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy99ObXtI5

"Yeah, That's right.."

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eaHS2Qs0H
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJww5TesIN
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhY0P9U8TB
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5JQyCKpKx
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWfEaxo6j5
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Atw3bEKOc
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNyyUcii6
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkfMB4JSH
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IhH18gCUR
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tHJAo3lfJ
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlY3fGvbcn
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6BVXKvdB
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoXCnxjfns
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Ne5ygOQB
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP9BzmYZoM
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A2ARGYs1U
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR2Yu9lPVQ
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrGrMcvGO9
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEEfFPb3sm
Toast : ".................."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTOisMtvtC
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bflZs1szf
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC8dMzjICj
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwsp89rf9h
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaKdnBxdKH
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtziWOjpBcW
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O8IF3jEVf
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgxUv9FCbV
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBk2t6kfqi
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTjJVaBOIC
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrJaLMovb0
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7jnuGsI08
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoyYu2NZ7A
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOHiRr4T8z
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fiz6ePC8a
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCjdTC2vcb
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhQA76IojR
Just what had happened here?
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAN4NEcCE6
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlX9HBORVH
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2NaooP7vI
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qEhhKZnK1
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz0IzCcAiV
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLEewWabwo
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB53h1DXzFK
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAFhdF4wEh
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVh5HoNgji
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79IullqWDD
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC3Jh5Sdaw
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNx4lkWEnu
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwbmd0Ecgf
「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."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFFb5HIhjZ
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6HSzuIOWi
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fMMltAuvY
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInpNx6Wijt
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I3ntxpXUe
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5Uqy4rjz
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktij4yA8QT
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq29E6ojyBC
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDt65EGEAY
「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!"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1oPs8MjGZ
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucL6J42k1H
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9eAxzKbuG
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFiEmXSYjy
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rYs2JUhv7
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWfuAj2cZn
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGN1vSNysd
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp9pQ9sg6J
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WT1TwAqH5
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVnwJXF3yZ
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrXsrO2qsB
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyp0HVZwsK
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJnjfNqvW0
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKG7J2CwrF
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zqVkOo0Cu
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5o6qWgDBj
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45g3PCsRcM
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbygqnnuYt
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdQhsk40H5
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLWZoycjy4
In the end, he got arrested.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgrzcYm24w
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbv76tGw5M
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZTtWfeB5v
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQW1Qtg1OA
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHGI4LeHRJ
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDATgNApO1b
「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!!!?"
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa9vxBuRce
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciR5hG0I7B
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.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT9nQ8kUvK
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRt3LrXtzp
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQyrgSGdCv
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbQliXEglR
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEvnPJibtI
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.
