【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.】

Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9GojXJcK
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUkSl3xhF3
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVizJwgxaDu
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHadvrB1ZX
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKgzUvKQjb
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qQNAVsmiz
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWBaYJwaWk
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKKzqoUA5t
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniXKlNa8uy
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9G2hX7Jt1
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMum6TnixT
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUibvkOpqm
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZze8SeWq1D
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqepBdOpTP
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAdYrX3ba2
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3wIjJ8hKm
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekrsLQHRGr
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPlbTspjpd
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZDEulAPVy
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Yse1RlJK
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuqOA3xRPu
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguGC33y0Dy
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VfJi6Yelo
Seemingly waiting for something
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMmbNeB4ik
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS4VpJ9q2t
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtp0qRlOE2
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFELW9qytaI
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdPUkjzp08
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPlbSXlVNy
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptn0Sgfp1v
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93TzOlkevD
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkIWhpoAhE
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLh7vpkk8h
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AbpRxRSr2
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM1QJk8XVk
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzuxzrYJkB
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOG5mgq8FY
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvDFu3UKTq
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVg2dUK7j8
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf30CzqWoP
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3HU2ILlc9
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wrvr88oPc
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7EAROif4W
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vlxh8tRc9
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtRrOXch2B
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0r0IugUxv
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdQRTNyiP7
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFP4AvOo10
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ooh8hoBx7
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDgRjPpo90
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqToQxMQMHw
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEl09hxn3p
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbJPgI5SKU
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXVRHHuTOw
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvVNmcidKE
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x7dfdTtOA
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NmFIwVl4o
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNKZjbV4Zb
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg18zLtxSh
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJAfKvCG2J
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHR2xRcdm8
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0A5c0UjUP
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ewt3qAhU
But her bed was empty.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXBkWXt9vK
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJjuStKrRS
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59bG9OZ76O
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP5y0uGmB8
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuq6vLko24
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoMn07u25D
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0bepz7EN7
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbReqsSNaHY
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHMTYcPdD
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCyUGLYVif
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ti0lZQ4BU
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimDVDynWiw
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor124qfWnB
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAanyNvaiV8
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpIEna1pUo
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyVN8aWzII
This was the night when i first met Jello.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoshO2yPIx
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOS1ZLtONv
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiofA8HsSj6
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..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFoCYljYIZ
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eQqUkPWWo
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8JczrGCQH
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMtXR1U3kB
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAWdRhpFVP
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr08uGKl7GI
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NTNZYNWbu
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIC8JLxG2E
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtMTaXvukS
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhMMmRAGlW
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25YRwAInG
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSYfQhfdL0
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q5BAM3U5d
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo5YiOBh4T
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWCZjkBsb
Pudding : “Passing through?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUeFjxvt7
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukPolVOMhR
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIm2xZA41R
Pudding : “An Idol?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg7C3I4sPV
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb7jgtsecr
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh5qpCQDBB
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6GOr7job9
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9etjEGBq1
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cJtZIfvO7
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyTX9dSP4b
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM4ZuWcyhI
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqpm9NuYxu
I asked.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFc2w0gdSl
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBeEel7SzB
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iAThRWubA
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJZyHHmQ6t
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngtSJcAOMe
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvs01EeyTb
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FUxfrciKt
Pudding : "Yes."
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuZbMRxEeG
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr90bFoovZq
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi5XLZeJQW
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgncZ2T4Qm
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?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOl865SFcp
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS9uj8yPt9
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjmIKB6fYD
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvIf48hMbq
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDO8fleFXN
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCmAgsmOQ
But I turned around and asked anyway..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuOibmxfy3
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3m7dXwwxG
This was not a question.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBHtmE1l65
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaKw6bHtyI
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjtsEBIj3K
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13sN7CfSQw
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0iwqDZq8i
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn8jdHpFzr
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhRTMUQ0wS
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejx1H2YmMB
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofiMyk1Nzp
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mbuKVS9o1
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXmnoWEXX
Jello said with a smile.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE4mjnd1H5
Children : “Important things?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79ROZzKvw
The children asked with tilted head.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE2rijGoVl
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOEiWDmw5N
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡishAduXDFx
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCV0rtxP8y
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeyzHAGeRz
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfIYmxpJUq
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1TjXfFHt5
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA9eZsdEnw
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjFvHhENC
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF68kmNbZc
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7foCTNbniW
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwjApm1W3k
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxDkF3gzme
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrOfHgGUpH
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJANZmC8aC
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WPaB5SLhm
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzGJsdQsuv
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttsDSyhjlr
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKvkBgNH0v
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5cAOxKobS
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof0QMJBwNU
Jello giggled and said..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPDM5omeTW
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdiZPprHO0
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOFcjIkIp
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ufLUQ4cnT
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnR3LFgMnK
Puddinh : “Uh…”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEZfBrHvSe
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P1FjTuRSj
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN1iSgwtUV
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiuf5EiE9t
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREVMjpm9z
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVs43n2ITi
Pudding : “Your manager?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgvwijeqzC
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKEWuxIFaE
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd87Dr7JtCr
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQ1hzI6yb
Jello : “Huh?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGjN29QjH
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.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ7suUhkoy
Pudding thought it over.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbugtYesyS
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kdXhzrwJG
Jello : “That's right!”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7obG2xbwB
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NajCqDDrB
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZ0PbVNMp
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFQvSdaYy4
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85aKZDsgoY
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSxrB3oGft
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi1YR3aFis
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wFT2tGFHJ
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HBlBGNnQG
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9RDpzcYv
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHLwcNq5aK
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pz3Wi0k7u
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AjjZOR7qk
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyof1BQj13
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqJnrBLRe8
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hrXawxdbh
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNF6x1hqIb
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Isu8GMkx
He could no longer see the faces of the children laughing. I am clearer about that fact than anyone else.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawwlfTDyHx
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqqICYdfc
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeJEnGsjff
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.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXTEJFuuCf
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwZ9DRESxG
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
