【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.】
442Please respect copyright.PENANArUm28THnqj
【He will always walk by her side act as her escort.】
442Please respect copyright.PENANAVsknDGN2aU
Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAmyxA5bFgrk
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAL2nJY1shwT
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAFxNnfIulkA
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAYwU2p8Ddu7
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAlTEAzzreyd
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
442Please respect copyright.PENANASw3n8jY8L2
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAtJeYdIfVPQ
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAhwuTp1ZHdO
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAPHiOJMWJsC
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
442Please respect copyright.PENANApiGjJ8JVyK
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANARyoYES5MSl
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAyKkrhXTHmd
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAPxTtAhTLSD
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA3znjKrVWEQ
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAFNwW3rz06j
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA2pZjXrgEWk
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA4FTBMQKjJ8
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAkS201znDTM
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqCHMi2JfJj
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
442Please respect copyright.PENANA5JCNZBXcuW
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAvmkTbgU3o5
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAHpWU8WkJ5n
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
442Please respect copyright.PENANANuUccPhR0j
Seemingly waiting for something
442Please respect copyright.PENANAa4xLaJs5uH
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAcnEa5vvPls
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAcIVZEYFXtf
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
442Please respect copyright.PENANAKSeoAPSsvG
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
442Please respect copyright.PENANASEdK2Bo6aU
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAbwko75KaVe
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAYSdFNIr4UX
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6PiKkSHFbU
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqrBxkS4eba
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAj0rEGUsbMX
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7uo6Xygjv
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAMKcH5mqrKT
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAcwdqhQaLAl
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAuZAzBbpWkB
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAvM6DOFg5JH
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA3dIAvTkBpE
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAWH8zY0w7We
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAV4GQhnBzmb
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAKLAOXdpRwG
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXsnbfVtQwG
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
442Please respect copyright.PENANAul5eqCTtwc
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAQgDXFn69cg
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
442Please respect copyright.PENANALI4ffQOlZf
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAc1P9bc3cEn
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANARCSs5yZVcK
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANApQSOVdyTaG
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAxg8p2d7dVP
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAvPx2lY4hYA
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXpCeyfcIgQ
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
442Please respect copyright.PENANASC3bJ8nO6b
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAGXmkJXckGD
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAtQE5zh2O64
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAVID5mE0xBp
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ8phNfP6O
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAFe3nGtEuIl
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAyFeBdYkDKc
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
442Please respect copyright.PENANAiW8rmzxtuP
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAxIiaZu81XW
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAoLevnpOPZW
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
442Please respect copyright.PENANANUVnhdhNTQ
But her bed was empty.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAITv9bTX8lg
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
442Please respect copyright.PENANApOQQv7sf6A
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAKV5UbFUCz8
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
442Please respect copyright.PENANA9rXlVc8rZe
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
442Please respect copyright.PENANApFyqYnbgA0
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAVIE6HTBGsI
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAkWXDSFJSlk
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA01aNVfU6XC
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAwqfmFryNxh
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
442Please respect copyright.PENANANEJPfwhJrt
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAtHOmSK3j6M
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAlKLV5bmz4P
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAy4nlWVZxJJ
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAl4Cy805a1W
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA0aYcD0h4XY
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAxE2kvI7ydX
This was the night when i first met Jello.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAcMSCPyZyHr
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA9V3Dpllv1f
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAC8q4klDyNg
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..
442Please respect copyright.PENANAGtt0ylynkT
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAS5gYvRuvmu
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
442Please respect copyright.PENANALgTzEbI48L
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6zHXSgmLVZ
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAodFLajlFfD
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Fm4msYDP
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA96KLNJxJ4u
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANArqYmBOCUbX
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA4BeYM3dUXs
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
442Please respect copyright.PENANArbosh2Gslk
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
442Please respect copyright.PENANARORUhWD90Z
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAfgHdHdQZD6
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
442Please respect copyright.PENANArZXwWfpE32
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAz7T3T0olm1
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAKUNGA8RyGy
Pudding : “Passing through?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAWwIA4UmfAc
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANApGqa3PPXRR
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAe64xQ2h9Bn
Pudding : “An Idol?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAykmO8Mdalc
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAHxlaX5wOvR
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAazhKsKWnft
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAooBcMOVHg9
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
442Please respect copyright.PENANArd8qqHeaMa
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAjUfU1mW8pB
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
442Please respect copyright.PENANAPoAUNDyrqc
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAyfnVj5YNIP
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA7cgH40XCf0
I asked.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA5sYRRY8qkh
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAWtdC9mG4nk
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA5rAadFJk0E
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAGjkigrV6Vp
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAFsPAxnH8zf
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAbeScSnriyu
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6TYluCYcYh
Pudding : "Yes."
442Please respect copyright.PENANA43DqRLuXvY
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ZfY1mxIq
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAuydxwxE95G
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAB3SmjneV8B
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?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAmdd6f1J119
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAjDv1tjTCny
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAWbISyWFimo
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAOCooQl1rV5
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA4fhanP9fBt
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA7GYsP3hz0U
But I turned around and asked anyway..
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6x0hAk4DXF
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Mb6I8veO
This was not a question.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXsY40yUhLw
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA96NiHS2boE
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
442Please respect copyright.PENANALzLSwIqBeN
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAEXQOTauq4i
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANALFxd7AtaPM
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA84xnyjLNOI
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAJd9FHi6gQw
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAmjHEED2MFR
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAlaAoBv6VwH
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
442Please respect copyright.PENANAX5dgC9Ml8h
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
442Please respect copyright.PENANAEowkqADpjH
Jello said with a smile.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXn30ssSKQ1
Children : “Important things?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAACoeqBivbV
The children asked with tilted head.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAdeTgDHOp1n
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAq6BEqZ8E0N
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAo1nGXhD4Rv
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
442Please respect copyright.PENANACOR0TxTnVX
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAJHKWpzg03v
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA4a3OZZheMI
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAd3a5ylnLfG
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAzvmAYlKHb8
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAQLNQAboaNC
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cn5x3Q2A0
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6sXegZD6Lg
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAyQBD4eWv7X
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAlDcCPWUjjA
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAsv1rBerw8f
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAMLAJOoeNfm
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
442Please respect copyright.PENANABqQOOxog5t
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAoc3wavQ76c
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAToBoWjJiw2
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqNBuGRL7XS
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAAoOdmLBnuu
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ZcWXMDUp
Jello giggled and said..
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6aYMrDcPFJ
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
442Please respect copyright.PENANAuGsbSsWTAn
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAdfVnrRHv53
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Uy84sR71
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANArkVExfBckd
Puddinh : “Uh…”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA4EysffDHJp
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAIxYhuebBVe
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
442Please respect copyright.PENANAaVHiRQh5hl
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAOsUaUgK4iq
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAP9AI0M8rHy
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAMDs33ziK8W
Pudding : “Your manager?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAb08o0aSKw0
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA5CLuaaWXiR
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
442Please respect copyright.PENANAS51HB9O0wz
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAUADogZQVO2
Jello : “Huh?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAco70hd4mPf
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.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAwOdzR5RhOl
Pudding thought it over.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Te7HMzyy
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAt4pn0T5hoD
Jello : “That's right!”
442Please respect copyright.PENANA9kP7w1tx63
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAnvQLlwiXCc
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAvpECzKp44M
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
442Please respect copyright.PENANALHHuSlPV0s
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
442Please respect copyright.PENANA5DYwStu5Ld
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAr4r89dwVRt
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
442Please respect copyright.PENANAkzzkD3Xxnd
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAZv45XHui7M
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAhiGD6Zyd70
So, Pudding decided to leave, not only to change himself, but to give the children a brighter future.
442Please respect copyright.PENANALWBvC79NoW
After leaving the orphanage, Pudding and Jello began their career in show business.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAaCTT9gliRj
From street performer to idol in waiting, Jello's popularity grew over time.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAD8WYweH2JE
Although life was getting busier by the day, at first, they always took a day or two to see the children in the orphanage.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqmNE7jOA2N
But later, as Jello became more popular, the shows increased exponentially.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2nbKk5ugC
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANArIKEiogTXm
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAqi6LDijNKL
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.

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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANA6DcXoMxHvH
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAjeWEh66EKI
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAP5OYb3VKiH
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAp4SsvXCxFs
He could no longer see the faces of the children laughing. I am clearer about that fact than anyone else.

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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Gujqziki
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAXtsKXZX5XG
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.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAZUrPBPLFmW
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
442Please respect copyright.PENANAfGuAEEA9Fd
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
