【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrDuW24F7
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI5iTjAfro
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0R0zSKUGR
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg0FnYbifh
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeAGCgFFFL
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B6u5py6qQ
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZliIMctGj
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CV4YzzOb3
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nkJsldHSL
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zllmzKitO
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJB2vOIZGe
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkTb8oyqPl
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG0qORxTME
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUilL61fHa
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRRMoV9vLp
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZruoBdTNj1
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuIqEvKEua
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUkvRAtI26
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzArETY56P
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14bTAonvKQ
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxvciSvUWn
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnAFXl5Q31
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7NHP3abFR
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymA9UFMIKV
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnqsxWdNRj
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihCVb4UNl0
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWS868j1G7
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmyyD7TwEr
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeapLGnjaV
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvH3VdnB3u
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMAjN3NfYu
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4g9PoCiH5
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0DEMz1nqq
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqJEQaDPeL
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1YvqTpUqV
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvRsqFjzhY

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYVuHq5sBs
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eulh7Z6x4
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyp6qviInf
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavmpskXiSs
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzBVLzZBOj
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDOdJLusHk
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOj3uQ8gb
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMT9G5CU5g
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcev5rsrZJv
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOcBCmdhsL
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."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpVEM0V9nh
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQwjxzS9kr
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNW05R2bT2
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZYRTjHoCq
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhd2oTtMqt
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYtNP1iOAN
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wlkdTdFvD
B-52 : "Yes."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCneYOUPaS
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqlYZHuwZQ
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8Snj9rWJ
B-52 : "Human?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyiLmk2pEt

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJPRGqdF5j
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCqY3AfUmr
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvxfB9MA2o
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h0Kkle2e3
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIFZBYqM2G
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvzau4sTUk
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHBTkwfS07
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsXbN7jyG4
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjcaIscVWv
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAmZlwL5GU
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOJjuC1ywF
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xc5y4PETY
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvstQMKqau
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHA3Ukbepj
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrayEyqxtf
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2dymf1UAU
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQpVsjSzXT
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXFSVa5EZ8
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzKRJ0NlD2
Toast : ".................."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpdJoaGs2x
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFNB2bibH4
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zKCTsCcp
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAbI6tfKUi
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqlbJrsOxP
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jtCkxFlFl
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahkPqdml0t
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogE4BziOWH
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS9WQiM87v
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw1kDia1pd
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcYT8MLhlV
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKJqh9Slz4
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmJvqodVLx
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEJu7RjkNa
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWLjMNawu0
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMuIYNfGUo
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsEzoN0BzG
Just what had happened here?
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDmtGNiWI2
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH0rztNcy4
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyqOYA6niv
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWHXqXEQO9
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQRZWqxyyY
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtqFkPI93v
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMjQ6p6TP
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJ46vSnTd
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYEu4pcWp
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifUylfMpkY
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bPfblSjJ
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr5jVPBk0n
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0gcYGsMNx
「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."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTVeAvNIlg
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX8Z04CGW4
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCOlMUf6zh
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5WIg2St3u
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuu3Yc5Pju
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoe4ofxVS7
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXXMpCB4b
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VaBKhEIOf
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu4NEcrvzJ
「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!"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GY9n58Mpp
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33CJvKwQW1
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRBnsBT7mE
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbOglvPN5
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4o5aW74Dr
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHZoDa4sFc
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAA2GzQTdM
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQZn6w5zmt
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD2TX9hKmS
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKokK90FN
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQ8d1xxWv
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X50SpE8Xw
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tu9j0cCVr
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQbDd6LHK
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMQSZTJzRc
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj345jZTFB
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKEcHJEL2T
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xkyVvQbbx
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYwJtL5xqR
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDRntLChH
In the end, he got arrested.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LWol4mKsK
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqsQO1x6k4
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6DEzvbUNj
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT80MigeoLr
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCXhhDZY1L
「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!!!?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZtkwTdkDM
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qHxJsPnJ
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.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqwA9cc4gO
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfMlqMqJM0
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD83bT481ha
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGhBvMwMZk
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIumktkJHY
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.
