We were dispatched with an MEL Autothrust Inoperative and placarded appropriately. Crew briefing included discussion on lack of autothrust; setting 1.31 EPR for takeoff and throttle settings needed for flight. I (First Officer) was the Pilot Flying with the Captain performing Pilot Monitoring duties. Environmentals were: Rwy 15R; winds from the south gusting to 29 kts; VMC. With 1.31 EPR set and a normal takeoff roll and acceleration; an oral 'retard; retard' was heard in the high speed regime (100 kts). With good engines and confirmed valid takeoff configuration (takeoff memo green); we continued takeoff with normal rotation and liftoff. With positive rate in climb; I directed gear up. Shortly thereafter; we received a red Master Caution; configuration bell and red arrows on gear light panel. When climb detent was selected (roughly 800 ft) the warning stopped. Flight continued as normal; albeit manual thrust settings were used.
After takeoff; gear up; turning to ATC assigned heading; got a Master Caution and bell for configuration. Gear was up with normal flying parameters. Canceled Master Caution. Flight continued normally with no other issues.
A320 flight crew reported an aural 'Retard; Retard' message at approximately 100 knots on the takeoff roll. The configuration bell and red gear lights alerted on climbout which ceased after climb detent was selected.
