【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0pC3Tev9
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0sW8iQIFX
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlz8BCt9lf
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmlwtL1zto
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16WP3x6Wd8
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo55aEPRAY
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI0TCMA3uJ
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWqbETSQr
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC5eZZFxT2
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggXVQUVgBF
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxavT93Jh7
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaCBg9cRRn
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO1HKOT5ad
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKo1Kenpw
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1yqqHHzmB
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp1BF6xAN3
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0YokXLnZc
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs60mI3qgf7
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCMr00VJRf
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbjJNQ1Fru
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2AlvcenNQ
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwI2pdZsuj
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvwsyd2Obr
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWC6Ynb3am
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SSAVAYtJv
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxDXbdyn6k
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVexeRLlscO
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0GbHrrPAw
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUQTGnR9TA
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rV5TXmyy0
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLXTUUTTOD
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvKISXjTcN
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJylNG4hEK
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdCHPwii4
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQrLNEyfkm
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv2AsHQnTD

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyVDM1iCN0
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOLd8Qsfs
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fnPgFehyL
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawN5UdiQyM
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI82ZtQw2s
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65VKTgPWw5
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi7GKkj582
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGR3W25LH2
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJktS3iOyNX
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzSWzcBemP
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."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYvJPaL9iJ
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvq0dSegl7
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KiSqzs2TG
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISgDh0zCDv
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRM0Hg2paj
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0DFOT9aWk
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M8pcVvoY3
B-52 : "Yes."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBNFFf5Ils
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3aIXa2PK6
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa7QiDxdGV
B-52 : "Human?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GRoMZRoyP

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9eCfwlbP9
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WuALFKmdI
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC4UMLwwJX
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZRwSPJN6X
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoXHrOcJpK
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8LsnoYyok
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc7r3ivnJK
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpP5mOcrlY
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryNpwZoUgb
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjV4gyEjlO
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfBdHq1O1
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlinGj3qvF
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Bd89Haso
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5SCLVJuLO
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJgslqJU7
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjX9QWCAdu
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1syHeZAhi
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9n16gAczh
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7kyedvh2S
Toast : ".................."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqvhZHNY70
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM7QMFbGrQ
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCASsKt0vB
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUUD6dyvnb
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS206Q1JYWl
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1qQeuPyO3
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc7Xp8FzJj
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffzqKVVCVC
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf0PZAeGXA
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JmkoPg9tt
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH8xwylOdB
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCRtDCRRO5
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQcxUzwxVb
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXCKHds90h
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0rWAIsu5r
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZU6ZP0MK
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NY8bVVgxI
Just what had happened here?
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EA8c0uzsp
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde4vGi17F9
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMdkJ8VFOX
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtOoXeWix
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmvXhNaTYS
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRpXWQjBFp
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWozX62ULG5
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfke23DstNf
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBs8C6U8ZY
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZtaGCIecN
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a3vns3eVB
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ALimQGAk
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29HZ9PrJ5R
「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."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mMeRzgcXK
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfcqcY186a
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hZyfdbQsf
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipsmMEvV3Z
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLItqBdtr8d
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44E6O330BA
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBwmgeVi84
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn94sTcZ6V
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzNVxqwaFV
「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!"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqjl0Cs6eM
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFhgxu6CQ9
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI6ReBgzeN
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKkOt0BQso
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTWo8Dckwh
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OALjXjak0
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXornvokx1D
He peeked his head out, and after confirming that our pursuers had long passed through where we were, he turned around and asked..
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnNIMAQJQA

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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2qe9vOl0B
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s4DwnpYs1
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGaGP1CJ0T
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUM5AXILm5
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJrpHNVywn
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65QmTf8jT8
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqWMoNWQKl
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizwsW86bjS
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEohMu31L2
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Okeqg0vs
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFyux0QrNu
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXhnj5vCpP
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtIywvwam0
In the end, he got arrested.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmlj3SczJG
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KM0ArI06Y
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnpA8bsmtF
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBZRyJl6sg
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivnbJsLL1
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWdy83c4kC
「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!!!?"
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0kjCCgS1H
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yzjKyyui5
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.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5nnxczIk2
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXdGP151yd
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftBCjkYpqs
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5swFmkssiq
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfg5ymMiXo
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.
