【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jnLoAz2Bm
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh00y9jrKlz
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUOQVKvvMK
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HIw2zKvU
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXOSiL2Sau
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jK6RTY5mk
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ioucmixi
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8hWzDH5nQ
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKgyGlfbd
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIumVCYnis
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwEUptdo0B
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9zSAqjV68
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJZRwIVHjY
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZUeAd3gNp
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEbOde0t8u
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvCRMteeUt
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuNJeqUMrf
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDx20l7OK
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDG9GmEdR1
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A6i3F2Awl
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8asKHabCro
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX4mE2PGVF
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMTiOvXtO
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v39Plg5Pn
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdUPP2jmh
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqQrgr4m1i
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ03SxI4ef
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEDdJWWdPF
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc6fluZAmE
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFXOZTcDw9
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS7PmH1F9y
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQniPsESwKu
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLToFLrPlc
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHRyNrmYyC
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm4eSkFP16
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRphtXx45H

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXkTNNxQPj
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkxnvTWwf5
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xwyxLBJL7
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ppDh7a6Z
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlcCPZPZan
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xfZnl6VIZ
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtDZJNe19m
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhEGC0sqOB
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqO6dyZYC0
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9yJlTbyl
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."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWXGOeCQjn
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0XEcuZ5a8
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yaEf07JzJ
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO4FiU5k0c
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIIKVXulb5
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfSYtkgNE
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPEue520rk
B-52 : "Yes."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvWzJzEeND
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXo31q0yY
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wCMeKN5q
B-52 : "Human?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDuOwBbVwJ

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEnWg51HG8
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9RV3MYkrL
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJONejuGgI
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAhqs3UhaY
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KI7v5Nyjq
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdb6hEZwzw
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAno2rIMBPO
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9c33CfNLp
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhw8UeVwm2
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu0fGF8MN1
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRGAXaVmzu
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZfThFCGk8
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCpfnCtNMt
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8H5bxdZ0j
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItkaE8UIgj
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsnggn7m6v
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQqZxENoj7
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPL7LNwVo
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOOa6TOHul
Toast : ".................."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tn53tbXCa
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy7gvgQ9GU
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBn8utCxWs
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCPufpgTuD
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQx0pqKU5
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfEd3MxESm
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dFvlh826n
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpp0hubsPY
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw0y3kCZse
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugbFYzLhyM
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MqMbE5tsx
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRzUFXEyzf
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBnAD0HjtQ
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj17yaqyvGw
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0weKuMGzhr
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sabb1EE0b
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJJKxjejU8
Just what had happened here?
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GoxlZuYzq
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7vBYg8set
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUVnlFRuJ3
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3IZp3tCoP
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLggTeSH08v
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ7Ux6zhCB
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYngePBaODP
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXJloWiaE3
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NHwwz7u8z
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAOxgeKBFZ
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDMl0ZjDy0
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXosHpldPcI
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7chqrr3Au
「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."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8jPPDlPS2
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGBKTXMTZ8
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde9MGyPUdx
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeSyPTK5kz
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP067RFrWYI
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhnwS565Z
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ930K7ujcdo
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwAu7RlAT
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJywPFn4by
「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!"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlNFxGHF6Y
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfWat05N8R
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oBmyRbKTV
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcwm0NMhjU
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6DYRz5VKL
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArjkb6s5rq
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnABefQ19Pr
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaVsPY8i5M
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp8NPcdgcT
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59cyZIqgPy
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm53Ng1ez39
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTE8wFGhsQ
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lTyU5h83X
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLyN7pVwPi
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEWXWPZdU
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT82Iwrump
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ymrcy993B
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TOOb0flMf
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqG1GD5qOa
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ122mbpfxKg
In the end, he got arrested.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYofca8iPVC
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63zOL2MgNt
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY1La3Ov7Y
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HvLaKOLvv
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLy6K6whYX
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0seYqn0HX
「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!!!?"
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWbvdXZH5d
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb3mx7tJc3
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.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqy5aPwiax
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM3nT0dDE3
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcg6KudoNB
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2VsVXdM4Q
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHyRY6Rpvj
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.
