【Pudding is a solemn young man who is inflexible and likes everything to be in order, he is rather cold to those around him but is extremely attentive to Jello.】

【He will always walk by her side act as her escort.】
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdIWy7D7EA
Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcP7xhvbK8
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfR8nKuMOJ
But the street is inlined with trees, and the sparse shadows along with the light from the sun that goes through the gaps in the leaves, setting the tone for this one-of-a-kind street.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9dW8r30oG
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGX53sP4PC
I stand as usual by the wooden table in the dining room, wiping down a glass with a clean white cloth and placing it quietly on the table.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RW9EFomXk
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCGlaeyvDA
Business has not yet begun in this restaurant, though it is very close to the orphanage where I live, and I am the first one to come here to prepare for the day.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFgDid86J5
I like the near environment and the organized life in the nunnery with My Lady, my former Master Attendant.
I don't dislike this lifestyle.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bR4FnYaqJ
Though My Lady died a few years back, I've managed to find this part-time job with good pay taking care of the orphans that she left behind.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKehAsv4j4y
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq12Or89sXH
And the reason is not just because the wages are calculated by the hour.
But because, for some reason, I am emotionally moved by the sounds of songs i hear late at night emanating not far away from here.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsRsQuZxOj
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZrakJP6ao
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXwS5XDVHY
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVnOktXsAF
The person that My Lady wants to protect lives in this rickety old structure.These ancient buildings are surrounded by old wooden fences, their history is unknown.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhNMqfxda3
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSsqlVfmCz
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsL2ZiUXyO
A small figure emerged from the rickety wooden door, her brown hair hung long on her back, her blue eyes sparkled with innocence, she tried with all her might to scream, but the only sound that came out was a soft whisper.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mM506haEm
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N2ZowhMFI
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnyMZWq68U
I gestured to her in sign language. The child looked at me timidly and then lowered her head.
I know that she likes to sit alone quietly under the camphor tree late at night.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWMGL7Ez81
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdajqRyqJ4
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxQMEZfMsC
Seemingly waiting for something
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk2akC6XXm
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoVluTunn8
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ROLhAf9O0
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeuUYjjRxy
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDdWU5Xujg
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEcxNNfRON
But this boy did not like to speak.
No matter what they asked, he didn’t answer, they no choice but to take him back.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAn6hQUMxB
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3ico0BFz
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deE086lvW
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud2foD6dOL
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjydDUygmAo
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdwumgkOfQ
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoiZlhm60Q
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1yWiFlRuD
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rzpX4jteG
Her hearing was fading day by day, and she could hear less and less as time went on. When My Lady passed, though she loved smiling, she suddenly stopped, and her personality has become gradually more introverted.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhItedEgNhN
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Wzf88bKP
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdGnSeRvKj
I even began thinking that this child was difficult to deal with, but her dull gaze seemed to pierce right through to my empty heart.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoOL7XdbwM
For the longest time now, I’ve felt that I have no inner life.
No matter how much I’ve learned, I’ve never managed to find something I really want to do.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIAh5X0gcM
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOvGrzE499
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFOCNLb8I7
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJcWr7K2pc
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4uWT39qX
The dry, cracked adobe wall is in some disrepair due to the year-round sunshine.
The lines of the dark red bricks are visible through the cracks in the wall.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBqFpaodJc
Perhaps because the orphanage was converted from a convent, here are many statues in the halls and walkways, and even the windows have the portraits of God and saints made of stained glass.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTXTta9d3Y
Besides being asleep for nap time in their rooms, most time is spent in the main hall.
If the weather is as sunny as today, the could children play on the grass surrounding the orphanage.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS8srPlCQ9
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpkjGql3x
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LKXdcbyNY
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4O73ELWsx
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1kdFXOEEm
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Ka5Zgjtz
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunS1iACsGe
The ingredients for lunch and dinner had to be prepared before leaving, and the tasks of cooking and distributing food were all done by the nuns and their older children.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumkx1y3l0M
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAL3ahTtoC
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYMTf15IZt
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR9gdkrzUc
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73VjmDyUNU
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZtexKkjxS
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1l2Z81weC
But her bed was empty.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC717YnwbR2
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGDVbaMxYq
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOpoX0MxnP
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOR84fp0xs
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZskCGWiUh7
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTalWUC3Wet
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5S0lgqPdA
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAzocxNGed
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wHANwM98
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWGwr7LWHE
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSZAyYxDP
In the streets where the leaves obscured the sky, if it weren’t for what happened at this very moment, i thought it would be next to impossible find this open space.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLYQzRxpU8
Although this place is also surrounded by towering trees, as long as the moon isn’t obscured by the clouds, we can clearly see an entire moon between the gaps in the branches and leaves.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK0Fa0Gl2P
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgByfDAlbqu
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujaM9sjk5K
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyVR5kqGyp
This was the night when i first met Jello.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZJJf8b3C
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj3B4lKu2Z
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeLO2E9VL0
It was truly inconceivable.
I was just looking for someone.
But as soon as I heard the song my attention turned, and I forgot what I was doing..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoiOyUVbLp
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndKQF3KRK2
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXpeXqv7I9
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wCQBhkCf4
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnhyrZKNfL
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGmUo3NN1W
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1pQ0cg8lG
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rhZWLqwqm
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0HTswkyWA
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIdTUTL8Da
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dy4zpipbm
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHmQC6vSsr
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaGZCzt2Ag
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r1VnxM7mz
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnHDa8RQ5R
Pudding : “Passing through?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFklfNWWNoP
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXFRjuPogn
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmOrMKoqJ3
Pudding : “An Idol?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8LMHVF1hN
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpgLRiWSzP
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXHxYPpSaH
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9xfAdJaEo
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdguvLtZT5w
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLepugj8djb
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYmash1if5
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWMemKbXcp
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAtH4m7gC0
I asked.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLavl92guZ9
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUJykG5h36
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQN7svqh17
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSelWljlF2C
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpiy7R7mD
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZzdnXMBJ
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7cUOTY0m3
Pudding : "Yes."
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPEw0IPMQ
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltHSaUdgVy
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv7EAM0CES
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3B5DGszcY
Jello :
“There’s nothing wrong with trying to find what you want to do at the moment, if there’s nothing that you want to do, that just means you can try everything, that’s great, isn’t it?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlVjfUxxh
I couldn’t figure out why, nothing had changed, but the haze over my mind seemed to be completely swept away by the girl in front of me.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqRzHm7jiu
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImiw8Hc0CL
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0jOLWuh8T
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8MswxpQyC
The moment i turned to leave, even i didn't know what i was thinking at the time, i guess i thought i would be rejected.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQkcECXs86
But I turned around and asked anyway..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9WCWkFsct
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt10Rhj4LA
This was not a question.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7woFP13XLV
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SeJJfkaq2
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetJTd8ENn
Even now when I think about it, I feel a strong desire to protect that song and that smile.
It’s a feeling that will never go away.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3AWkeP4Oy
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03AehD78q
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnUgquXlap
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR9k6Gtow9
This is the sixth day since Jello came to the orphanage.
In such a short time, she’s been git along well with everyone at the orphanage.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiIfA9NRfm
The children extremely liked Jello, and when they heard she was leaving, they all gathered around her, pulling on her clothes to keep her from going.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ZENFZMnC
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFG4EqyAYk
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMDHoIfaj
Jello said with a smile.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG276fg8Gmu
Children : “Important things?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyCRZqlds1
The children asked with tilted head.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TsxCtIden
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwTjQcdjSc
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgNpA3I3HA
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMKPRmNLYl
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACzUPERAWX
The scene is still fresh in Pudding’s mind even now.
Because that was the day that Pudding decided to leave the orphanage with Jello.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfi7PMY0vy
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAnFopiJdm
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiBGX0crkq
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCrsKGWhYt
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjU60O9kYK
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkZoswxsmU
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaly1gvXCE2
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4R0r1Holp
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclHgKEvErL
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuheAQ1hYbE
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Me0Bwu3oi
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZiGUCoUyn
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuBYKQoNL
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCEJLg4gAO
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6R476qrCK
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNBMQOax1v
Jello giggled and said..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5taCUBIpl
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc0Vko8FTb
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTplng6fAt0
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSGAdvH4nS
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e5Q5McvlB
Puddinh : “Uh…”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xFR7lqwe2
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW6Kxuq8zq
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyWNpZPyqQ
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLO7D8rZ1L
Jello stared at Pudding innocently, and then, as if she had a sudden recollection, all of a sudden drew near, pressing her body against Pudding.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhaILPctir
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2VqBJX4w3
Pudding : “Your manager?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt50EEXloAp
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWatfYAhFk
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9HmIfE6p5
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9pKIjLl90
Jello : “Huh?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyREL4a1lm
Pudding :
“I wanted to, but in all honesty, i am not good at dealing with children, so i have been seriously thinking about what I can do.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYl1cnYOcX
Pudding thought it over.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDHrtMd1uL
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn4FmBwMYW
Jello : “That's right!”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzRV0EMWXv
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUxIlB9p2Y
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGuU8DSbdq
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS649YrdBt
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26h5ZmYD3g
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKG23LsXox
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7NllIO9F
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5P9puLwgp
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6g1jL07Gi
So, Pudding decided to leave, not only to change himself, but to give the children a brighter future.

After leaving the orphanage, Pudding and Jello began their career in show business.

From street performer to idol in waiting, Jello's popularity grew over time.

Although life was getting busier by the day, at first, they always took a day or two to see the children in the orphanage.

But later, as Jello became more popular, the shows increased exponentially.

The tasks and responsibilities that Pudding took on got heavier and weightier by the day.
Pudding restricted Jello's schedule and activities all the more, due to the busy work.

However, the misfortunate be fell the orphanage during the that hectic time.
A fallen angel named Uke Mochi attacked the orphanage. In an instant the orphanage was reduced to ruin.

After receiving the nuns’ announcement that the orphanage was nothing but desolate wreckage, when Pudding made his return.
The place he had put her heart and soul into protecting was gone.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FBe0mlRkv
The nuns told Pudding that the surviving children had been moved elsewhere.
Which left only Lacy and Joel, one had gone missing, the other may have died.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyil0lsorKk
As it turned out, Lacy had been taken away from the orphanage before the attack, but because Joel was still inside, she insisted on rushing back in to find him.

Afterwards, a Master Attendant had found Lacy unconscious, and rescued her.
But because she had received no news from Joel, she sneaked out and never returned.

Listening to the nuns recount on what had happened, and seeing the deserted orphanage, Pudding just couldn’t believe it all.
He thought he would be devastated.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMVXUUPBoy
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefUFH17Kz9
Was it because of the fallen angel?
Or himself?
If I hadn’t left when I did, would things have turned out differently?
Pudding thought about this from time to time.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSax7LZ1iX
He could no longer see the faces of the children laughing. I am clearer about that fact than anyone else.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8adUZS03E
Jello would be crying her eyes out if she knew what had happened.
Pudding thought about it and would never return back to the orphanage with Jello again.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5egmxLzu82
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPDjVUlno
I do not know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, but as Jello secretly slipped away, she was pursued by an infatuated foodie whose name starts with egg.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3GEI4SLC5
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtCQD6iXQg
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
