【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1yygS1Amh
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuSCAJNUwR
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCmpI2Ap7
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeJyunddGV
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkESWL09pP
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KS3yRgoRW
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJrkGfqFH8
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYoLiWAFl
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsEb3P4x3m
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlptR86dE5d
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaor2yPIYJJ
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGu4eCeDQm
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iFk7TY3yB
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0BsGbgPSO
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ27ZuGIiL
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WXoFwV1rS
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QJj4z5oQ
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx1tkcmdmo
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtwJRfjRbD
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3hPLMgwrC
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gDiIdeAao
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4c456RHwd
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZtQsdsZWp
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGa52XS5GN
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1l9tbHzun
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtMFFdduEs
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9VF19JaS
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpggSUHHVC
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIrHX5TCee
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTto8uq76
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2K2rXT472
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x48mK5XEC
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaIVOnpbuz
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOe5Byh0qO
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKJz4qPAN6
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ecrOEkpBR

B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliVI8xxRCx
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPaRmPvphv
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMRmjq1GgG
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj41NI1OMJ
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMEc0BGz1x
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl4ze7TrTG
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA0Dme3mTR
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPadpn7XoaF
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEt29FaKfv
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyXRWSbKtF
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."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ338c9bQuzK
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwsrOklK9
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxrvRTRdvg
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5F1lh7UHB
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXXHDL7lCW
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5DAetXxai
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2b1IUaoM1
B-52 : "Yes."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dB0nypy2a
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOvh18SMH8
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mxtx442OG
B-52 : "Human?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt0KXqQpfR

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKXyiiOTua
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XlDr2LSPC
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVPrbNKZ3n
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQwglXkU4
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLXfADjFiV
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3cxuI7Kpo
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnSRYWdJ8T
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy8IAPEdGL
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTxLH3k7S3
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceD4Oyao4m
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCavssZj3im
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGSuFsSea
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3hSbdxbY
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRAiMMO1kD
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94K0agSvEv
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKUZ0kR1jV
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzBJwqP3iD
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq2h3NSkwb
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBl3LCHQQX
Toast : ".................."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrumlmPZse
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvme8TuxxS
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWerjZ5QbbE
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8yCIubMZP
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyBQFCT7vF
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSai07wLknq
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnzLT4ep9u
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5ty64P9a
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ5QknauUd
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47X9cjgfji
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UqEhsH9BJ
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR70jXDbPC1
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHieZALrAo
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz9RxBXj4H
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s9WMmXApZ
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AIAkGipDW
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjOJipImg
Just what had happened here?
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CJzMzp2Om
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN03hu7hZ00
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu68EsxddZ
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZNlx8FNW
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ZCmXnqsZ
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dYYLbgIvB
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaaipItj5u
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRotkoms2C
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGeKaDzElw
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprqNDHCav6
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTFNeXFHry
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYO3HZZ57g
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxm285ys6S
「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."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDi7xryzuX
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X7KultIup
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf1fbCe9GX
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxORHEhCljw
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL98X7buVe
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaosCfRrswY
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqRaQlKKBI
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRGdtLpmct
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEH16wz9IN
「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!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iWnMJSXaX
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYWQcRQMIq
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBWCkB7YN0
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF3Z7b5sHQ
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQEDubF9Df
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH1v2dRZwA
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLTVVgyQA
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vUSd1zPvq
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22oe7XhJq
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEarH7OxOHC
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXIvqvur5A
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK2Aw5wAn5
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQP7FCHLjI
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkRnNXJhc
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf8Cz8K6JV
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkUJHIBOiA
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLlEh2nNFN
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowA6JVTBa8
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPGSvNBfB2
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZzebEqUqi
In the end, he got arrested.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG8Fnd2jqr
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYYqeSW1Of
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT7IR3wgdc
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHFLbNAm9Y
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsszjk7nw0a
「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!!!?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0TBvPO5bE
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApwab4y9HD
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY912SmOSj
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mmFdxh9v
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gMGtgqNTi
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNSb4WbK0X
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEhT0R3pCX
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.
