【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYi5bOxvWF
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDFbPUVPVr
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMJmxbnKik
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OyfZDM40J
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW74OpOxfq0
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tkyph095H
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd7tn0Rr9Y
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37wmPlEU8e
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieB7WigHDx
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd4nRoWI74
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzZ3gyR4tz
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BBZ1W10hj
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbDSN8C7RG
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsKb5VNMMr
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaxJito094
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wBlcqfO3V
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhrgjNZOna
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K8DjSqQqP
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ftivZcT8B
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvlSMb1zUu
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb0VLCZnJW
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTUP0sXMNd
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXp4ZNIZv4
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq6yCu2Y7K
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrIzxoU2M
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6e46yyRVo
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIajTiJFwa5
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vkXQZX5Bb
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMV9X2CWth
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYL7EtGoR8
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKmBRGa0WV
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJghvIDbm
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcGbqLE3jr
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ECmv97Y1
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6GXIZTBiz
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYccRccxOda

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5EvPTXLMp
B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqjiG86DSR
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gGxJylPoj
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QcEW7OJs1
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5tqPrhZip
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkI1m2IKVd
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O0zL1YKb0
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis2XzKsoe5
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfSvgTHlkV
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRL2MZt6fE
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaDOoOCFIY
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."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn98SRG9Uf
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsweyOX2Wpx
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9uWukPWOC
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0yuMD0NzH
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaLcsmrMqM
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAeBowuhI
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQsM58tjwS
B-52 : "Yes."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kXDvU3rFX
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftwth1h5EM
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q0HSuz0n5
B-52 : "Human?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ydoVNzPG

"Yeah, That's right.."

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCHjKJU89L
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeDY4VMCNb
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPfD3G8CcK
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmCPlowgLE
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAL0A5xEUQ
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmPDTEnrHF
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTd7YPHGZX
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiiXiOlWLm
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEJTBavRxL
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYfVTf05DY
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7Bk583Fo
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzw2XY5xGF
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW5DEMK7qC
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIv2tHslh6
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwfqG8DuHH
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgNtIgoym
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o0i5X7i9N
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFvo9NUV66
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK62W2WNrb
Toast : ".................."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP9KkS3hEW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4alMZ5CM3
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7h0srvwth
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCK5E52JCQ
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRZz2iGHc5
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1kLKy8no
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHPWRfAd8B
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy93ObpaGql
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRIjfUXWa
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGyUxFlalk
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8h9FlxKZq
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fWlurMRK0
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQjscIlQeM
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87B9ZYfGSJ
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8YWe40dN8
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdvOHPDCd
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9LYP0Svu6
Just what had happened here?
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEYQUcAzMT
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2JLHk1heN
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDbYfXS5LM
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXwRHhvnmx
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0OuaeyAz1
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6T6G0M4vV
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiivQX8an7
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IHIzClYUd
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZkFPdtgGn
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPX4pSZgaA
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1RuDyCgQs
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAsuR3LZOY
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitcw5VTIoo
「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."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jkJLhfejk
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXECVCcNwT
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlSPxL4zyT
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oe64WUbQQ
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPK4Oszb8D
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVUNgSa5g
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDEmhuty1C
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoiItQOqYB
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlxItmSSfW
「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!"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCFq1xo24z
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4QQIl1Icn
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkVQV2Gjdv
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYsWCWQ6A7
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPWU23rOEV
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJzDvIRHve
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJLMy0zDz4
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E9JrnZlOg
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY0GRlFQK8
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMYhDcn3WV
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUT3I7bcIj
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc10GBLLQul
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkIYk1OPZP
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TSCFdmJf1
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW0EmrGzWK
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4d2mVVhFg
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMrQbeV7r8
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgknAUcMZJ
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJAgnxjzBC
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaeRwPQDDR
In the end, he got arrested.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTMHbyzPeF
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfl2gK22qM
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EGc6vgn1v
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dk3bLnLwG
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOae6OqAxw9
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DXVceRlIg
「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!!!?"
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQzqaxlV8x
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddocoAZHKZ
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.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5kWp1SWR
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI36wWj0sU
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuFSftdl6r
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOsb9wWJZr
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3uAFvULqQ
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.
