【Toast is full of maturity and has a very high tolerance for others. People feel comfortable and safe around him.】
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1AVBUfeZq
【Often chased around by Sandwich asking to lend him some money.
Toast is a very reliable person.】
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF6Re6BnAn
When I opened my eyes, my Master Attendant doesn't show any hint of doubt.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqk4R7YsOZ
The way he looked at me was as if he's looking at an old friend whom he is pretty familiar with.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jdzGU8yLc
After he looked at me, he gave me an order as if we've been together for a long time already.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXILKJpHClx
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hey, big guy! What are you doing, looking around restlessly like that?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYRQ6yrM3a
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'm talking to you! Hurry, come here and help me out!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPOvV6VGzt
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmFdiLjXnq
「Master Attendant」 :
"Why are you standing still like that? Hurry up!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS08F40Tqw
Toast : "...... Yes, sir."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3URvF3DCk
This man capable of sitting and working so casually in the middle of this "mountain of trash" is my Master Attendant.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKjBzFiyR
He has a great talent in making counterfeits.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeGvVt9Pre
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0URifqx8v
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Hxmbem3B
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULOOs4Asb5
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mNG1DXLY0
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6r0MOigUq
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4rXGZfDeG
And now, what got his hands tied is the biggest, most difficult challenge in his life.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnC3D3mEbc
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwG3LrrAyH
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiljZCJEhb
The doll looked almost alive as little by little it's approaching completion by Master Attendant's skilled hands.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSaatvrheX
Even the pale blood vessels under the skin is looking nothing different than that of a human's.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0n0GBKmlM
Just as I thought that the doll is finally finished, he threw that doll to me, and grabbed his toolbox.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXFAHwTS9R
「Master Attendant」 :
"Let's go! We'll go to my friend's place! He can make this doll looking even more alive!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5qlVJxqbN
I looked at the doll, which 90% looked just like a real human, in my hold.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JeS3PakBT
For some time, I couldn't understand what my Master Attendant meant by his words.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJFlGXDOFJ
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtBU9tZgzf
「Master Attendant」 :
"Oy! Come out!! I have an urgent business with you!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MCnmRAYbv
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSQjJj5sSs
This airplane designer isn't only an expert at designing airplanes.
He's also skilled at handling machines.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZJm9yEXi7
If we can get his help, then even an ornamental doll would be able to move just like a human.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIw81A0D2L
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj51oLJuY1
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAnX6Stf0G
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiSi2i0UWK
Toast :
"What's your name? Do you want to drink something? I'm good at cooking."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymgJYF2mW4

449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg6TLkq9MP

449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOkZibAVdM
B-52 : "I am B-52, a Cocktail."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96N84OgDBk
Toast :
"Then... do you have anything that you want to eat, B-52?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHCY0ExmlN
B-52 :
"A machine doesn't need eat to food."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEVCEv6TB6
Toast :
"...... You're not a machine. If you have something that you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlv6LLceoF
B-52 :
"This machine still has enough energy. Meal isn't required right now."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfxyMbvBYb
He's just like my Master Attendant. He can't just be left alone.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QX3S2C2Ye
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdufWvWK4
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXK4ZhQpT
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahaha! It's complete now! It looks just like the real thing! I'm such a genius!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhatZ5KpjKZ
Seeing my Master Attendant laughing proudly, I couldn't help but shake my head and then pushed him to the bathroom.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLonTBDM7K
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."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICvdCwfxqC
「Master Attendant」 :
"Hahahaha, I'm a genius!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwfmGAFZSt
Toast :
"Yes, yes, yes. Please hurry and take a bath, Mr. Genius."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGYNFpfZ0
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAHZEO0O0m
Toast :
"Next time your Master Attendant falls asleep, put on a blanket on him like this, okay?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4yQjAyqN9
B-52 :
"Understood. Command received."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL64VO5P66
Toast :
"You... don't talk like that, please... you're not a machine after all."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rU0sesWmw
B-52 : "Yes."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oMnWzYW6Q
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aPwgnOwQg
Toast :
"That's the one which is a real machine, you're a Food Soul, which isn't so different from a human."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuq04qIfxE
B-52 : "Human?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUKcjUZqBv

Five days left before the chivalrous thief will be executed.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNodyGIISFd
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kXGOK60yJ
Then finally, the day to execute the plan arrives.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDn5A6GG06
The numerous citizens whom the chivalrous thief helped surrounded the gallows, worriedly watching over the hero who got captured in order to protect them.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUDRYu4n0j
They didn't know that the real chivalrous thief had changed into clean clothes and left the town.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanmgz6NbHn
The doll that Master Attendant created looked so real that the government officials pushing it to the gallows didn't suspect it at all.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1asaoCpqN3
The moment its head got chopped off, a girl whose life were saved with the money that the chivalrous thief brought burst into tears.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnGCaZk5PC
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWqbRVxLDA
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAlWYLKJvJ
A fat, mediocre nobleman even fainted because he got so surprised.
Only after his aide pressed his medial cleft that he regained his consciousness.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G4i5hEms0
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJXajLuQbf
Their laughter caused the nobleman to become even angrier.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJoo2Tx53g
Official :
"Reporting! We found a signature inside the doll!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdnRM31aI3
Nobleman : "...... Signature!?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYZJazZ5Ow
Official :
"Yes! It's the name of that famous artisan!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbbyqCk9h9
Noble :
"This is an order! Capture that person!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8eSC7S4A
Looking at Master Attendant, who had a triumphant look on him, makes my head ache and reflexively massaged my temple.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRIy8d4mJn
Toast :
"Why did you put your signature in it?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJ4KZrDZY
「Master Attendant」 :
"It's one of my finest works! Of course I have to write my name on it!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2BhBb6lyZ
Toast : ".................."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnOJpFxsr
「Master Attendant」 :
"Besides...... I can't let someone else take the blame for me."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpXi13A51
Luckily, I've already made preparations beforehand, packing enough of our properties and prepared a wagon for us to escape with.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhXzLW3j5M
The scenery at the sides quickly changed, and we'll soon leave this land, which doesn't grant freedom nor fairness to its people.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdSeIhqGg4
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wpG4Au7Eo
The jailer who helped in replacing the imprisoned thief with the doll.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYmXXpUXUn
The maids who blocked the nobles' line of view.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV4yx5lGtH
The old man from the fruit vendor who sheltered some people.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLfJb86TNv
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwYlSd5Dmp
「Master Attendant」 :
"I'll surrender, so please let them go."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ45x8BWY1V
Surprisingly, the noble released those people so easily, and then invited him to his mansion.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgsdIyVzBX
Looking at the smile on the obese man's face as he tried to curry favor with Master Attendant makes me feel uneasy.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFfDW1EK0W
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjRNULlHp8
I tried to stop him, but I was surprised to see the solemnity in his expression.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzwzIJrZ7D
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVdtJWjlcy
Politely nodding to him, we exchanged a promise between men.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf59xgp6KSk
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPsavxEWbu
Just what had happened here?
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6n21qfDJw
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFof9dAeUyC
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XWoUXJsL
And my Master Attendant's friend I found lying on the ground, already dead.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwQ8mrnDBn
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTWlcvZ2HP
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqhVFRBsxn
The only thing I can do then is placing the dead body of his Master Attendant in the coffin, in place of him.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oUs7Qzll7
Master Attendant soon returned. After confirming that he's not wounded, I told him about his friend's death.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoz0KjSZsU
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9EPCi2oFP
「Master Attendant」 :
"Where is B-52......? His Master Attendant trusted me with a last will for him."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALEJggKSpB
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdqMrkEJZ0
「Master Attendant」 :
"None of the previous owners of this Azure Stone ever managed to live out their natural lifespan.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyf7CvVGk4
「Master Attendant」 :
"Lately, I feel a strange uneasiness that I can't quite express with words."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5cMk7AUwE
「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."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmASPZIBKqe
「Master Attendant」 :
"But if I die, I want you to give this letter to B-52."
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlswQfX71R
After Master Attendant and I hold a memorial service for B-52's Master Attendant together, he once again confined himself in his atelier.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio4u8rjpJD
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0voYOkOl1W
When he left his place again, he handed over some of the antiques to a noble's attendant.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCGMOHqxVO
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXlk03Ssuz
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzddl3CzTZ
"W-why are we running away? You've given them the antiques, right?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXoKPqlHge
「Master Attendant」 :
"As if I would do that! It'll be too late if we wait until they realized that I'm tricking them!
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7CkvNdEc
「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!"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5igrtMdRy
Looking at Master Attendant's smug grin makes me feel relieved.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFFHzUHGve
Just like what I thought; my Master Attendant isn't someone who would accept his defeat so easily.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvETPI2KMa9
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaMsLk3Xm4
But when the furious noble tried to capture Master Attendant, the atelier had been emptied.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DDoaisaMZ
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVyJFOl4Po
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQiOLPgiB2
He peeked his head out, and after confirming that our pursuers had long passed through where we were, he turned around and asked..
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGpe3RS8eh

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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW9VBhM9Ms
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFEjyq2jar
Even if one were to lose a precious memento, he would be able to make one which looks just like the real thing.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6aPjdphLk
But what got his name to be well-known, in the truest meaning of it, throughout the land is the incident with gorgeous fireworks.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMJuWIIBe
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW0s5hqXPe
These unfairness made Toast's Master Attendant, who is a bit childish, to be determined.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUdJf5wCDx
He decided that he will rescue the captured hero from the prison.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIawNj5oTee
He can make skin and eyeballs that looks just like a human's, but he can't make them move.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6wHnlCpiJ
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs48ktHUxis
The moment the robotic doll's head touched the ground, beautiful fireworks exploded right before the eyes of numerous people present in the plaza.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG85OAo7tY
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi4IL89AUB
Not wanting to involve others in it, the counterfeit maker wrote his name in his creation, which could never be rivaled by others.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ZhfsOhFp
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6frCP3C28
In the end, he got arrested.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdSzecHRo9
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmSFCHXXiC
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlqulICxBu
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6njnkdQcYx
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPEZjAUY8
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1YZGI4yrD
「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!!!?"
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39q9YSJYY
Toast's Master Attendant came out with his usual filthy appearance.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23bIAuEuYp
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8zSTWffe8
But the two looked at each other, and laughter spilled from both of them.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxKp7A2HlV
That was the first "encounter" of this shop's owner and his dearest wife.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3IwVber7J
One beautiful, sunny afternoon. The girl, who then had become a madam, came to the shop while carrying their newly born child.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYUmr5ksgr
A few years had passed since she became his Master Attendant's wife, but still she would blush every time she looks at Toast.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoO0xXxGce
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.
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuSZHT7qr6
