【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknkmLTi25Q
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTht4pKlNp
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKuueB2HI
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZGbbLKezx
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMytoqez0l
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Ad346CYd
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYzLbFO4y
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXpkmrZIPi
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaPf0zLQ80
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzD10jiAO9
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zPNnByrOT
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNez9yz82
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnG0dM4zq7
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkyQjufAl1
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Gc90eG01
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIZYQEbC4s
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoftcjxTa
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614YsmB2SN
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRTZGSvsVy
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKtxJaMFhK
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoM3xwtSzX
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEHymwNe9f
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdrT7uOwj3
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4iB53M2rp
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17nc89GmN
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEYx1MGiwv
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIXfrdx673
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFeAocH5WV
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclvnQIiYKd
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76UdZsbGUh
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLEOXHhCCI
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAQGcRYEB3
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhi9UXc61t
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuRzG1vCtT
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkkvbFXVC
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82iESTmpiP

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPmP4x22mv
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRsybWnao
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5fnLT5XNu
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJelA3VkWz
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhN37QHY3X
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHRaZYPKvc
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyC4CJhORq
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SdgiCErPi
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6jvIAILL
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoINwtvzD1
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."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LRlZe1qMw
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzkEFBs5An
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY1X3UGnIj
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOo26iXCH
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFANeIL3UH
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieyzd7Q8Uj
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurlhPdQ3Ou
B-52 : "Yes."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFSxIiUbJQ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJJXle0H4Q
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T0pmo8Yyw

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwSq1TBzb3
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6z4sIfIC8
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnPgddsig4
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcdz2JthIj
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8chE1mIHXc
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0maVl2jZeh
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXQWXtAf0u
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpHAGS0j1F
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1qjsCRsFb
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZXuDTMDhD
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq57qgNDHn
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkugPCK7AbR
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RQtVROR2f
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXc0uElGFu
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbX7MWYiOI
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkdSz5YZJo
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cCgNIoGDa
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3N4gve8wY
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaopwGGeNV
Toast : ".................."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP9AxMtI52
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoqnW38s4d
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50RGRs40So
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoB7zWQo22
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkO2IkDXib
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2cnMw2bMX
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywluWgrPLA
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCti5TOdEz
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME1tMWVl9p
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbjbhhxdro
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAsU6TmoZO
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGNksB7X3U
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXazgjeIIck
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9EQNCnBid
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2eoDWidpI
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzM81jDP4n
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZcPoTypww
Just what had happened here?
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfPSlzI6bA
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYCTyCOwbj
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDl91KUK5D
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqXzeohgVQ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFM5tRWH7
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrDPByez9Z
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQDb1TjgHC
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0fyYKxsre
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR1EskLCfh
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm6PToRRyn
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPks5FQFFyD
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8AhsJB5Fb
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyjemvvfoV
「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."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWalOLnQne
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelMUyn2z5Z
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPysvWzlK
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BSnQx6hn
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pgKO0mBzA
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pDm8CDi09
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggJsrKUzYi
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEwopupweK
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xonk6XXoo
「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!"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BusZgRYY3
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC8Q1NSSox
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1uBXEBi7N
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0rMUVgu9f
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6WgjTPi26
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu77cBCyBQ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1DPAYkLMi
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD7CGSEGZW
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrYTw8TcJT
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Ob7EoA16
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bb81zgzDq
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyzp8HxBz7
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvUnLbJpOz
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ch9lzXi6
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ5K8HZxYF
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VDsA9w0fU
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3y2ApispC
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjASfkJpdM
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jLPsZ5i7J
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhou21YfjJx
In the end, he got arrested.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx6Y6ktqlB
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F7KJWZRpR
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.

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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PrBgO5kTD
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7VDCSz49k
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKumUevRj3s
「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!!!?"
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmqb3H4rwg
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUGpN9ay9e
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDxF3QrTJU
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqXJ7gY2qS
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3udTQtr1zj
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YAjD6bx2q
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dFzL1F8P1
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.
