【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqCwMdaUOh
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1sExvirje
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T8eIqb1fr
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRndyyfAmUz
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb95pSNfRDP
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG715JukcDp
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz8BV6w4jF
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHzugMtGp
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ziDDJvNh
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fOXljNBTT
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtL8qoI4Xx
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLoCcCgJxK
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzwuAADmw
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvceKqDIvN
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf8VH00FH2
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqQu0EGpV8
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuWtoEsBkz
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXWLC8aYD3
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6u8u38z1N
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjtP5k2RYV
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvBM17ZC0M
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUBeO0rnRw
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dOMSUmLki
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsO5vaHfzy
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaGshTuC5n
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRyQ02ZeY5
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R2uh3GnXg
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpieRHSEAaN
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLC3Wt8tQJ
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWJLpFGBSs
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FdwKt5kkk
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB7fdo3sea
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIotRjgyfsg
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Jx1Yr1z9
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlBvz52yEo
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUSyZFr8YG

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmommzjeFJ
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BUH21yfdn
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdYDKTPmj
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYirDwpxUBs
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB7oTgdUjT
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc234qQCzGv
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzJbDfE55t
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjedSLV0rP
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5x5IhlMfM
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyrr3JQAU0
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."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP8B8ICI7n
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEIdoO5PHj
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJeXcIUo6e
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1sE3fTSzA
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEnA2eMtYX
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyNpeL9Wju
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF9DLatU7L
B-52 : "Yes."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTHlirZZUZ
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjSCcMBbxG
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroqc72M7Jg

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacaIGaa8jf
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTqhSBNVHl
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnobC2e3Ah
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvlGWPcLMu
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJYae2Drlb
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIMxllXqME
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr7vSDD1l6
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDnhUX7un3
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKwg8YAjmc
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05HvIkhBiD
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMgXuHxOuA
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQDAUIQRCl
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU1PVcdI6d
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ikdfKDxim
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcB0ke7C2P
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5g99YFFP
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSg98afEui
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDcy8e7XKM
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo73Tuev8WO
Toast : ".................."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiQ9oKRFcW
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkuUlhkEHm
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd6O6Jzx1l
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXTLsaqjfe
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tlNWmKA52
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RdwPADviP
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaxJ4S1z8T
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeBDPRg7SB
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2HlAHLTXr
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Ep7EUm6R
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqMIAziHF
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOdo0O2DFw
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZEaN6RL8t
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLfow62PIp
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01TBkU9ckg
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxPO5zlUbx
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaIILfl895
Just what had happened here?
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHW7NxCO80
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngzmoMNn7I
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIt6tLdx2P
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCYgBZICz
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUwMWM4jQF
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpzWg8jZCZ
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktFzNPZASg
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfxfepSd0F
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LVE3wV061
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmtF4cxCOo
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrG9YSIADK
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx2pU0jngE
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡummwdtf4Ed
「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."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mxYSzkb3
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg8IWh6x1X
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9knIpohFQV
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nYQikoKJC
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm6XcyRVwE
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGurK5zvQh
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4nfWioXuG
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ26zNqSEp
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXPKOsODWT
「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!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBBdTMzHDQ
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonH2iWSwr4
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0wSiJKeqX
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPuRQcOvpH
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKynJe96IfU
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLDpju1zxR
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDFfxcqzL
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnquEhOYXk9
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT5PtpD2go
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZb9HleplK
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqBJgfzgGb
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEmgga8oj3
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehm2doOAIP
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86RERiDPq3
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4sMFDh9Ry
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXowCSeiqc
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0LyyevGtA
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.

Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0UIqABTV2
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcksw027HDn
In the end, he got arrested.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXjP0FaO5g
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlDLcMYqZj
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ksfZdhIv
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWZf3RK3cL
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YVpeNBjzk
「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!!!?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcqXGGG4u4
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9XLsQWtyO
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.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAufspDFUO
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.

One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.

A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zhVQF4CNZ
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.
