【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.】
440Please respect copyright.PENANApMLGs8uPPF
【He will always walk by her side act as her escort.】
440Please respect copyright.PENANAHIQlOwg4Mi
Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAEcv9SSFD3h
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA2kqZeMNYvD
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA6qKNdD5PAt
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAME2OPEudsI
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAzyYX5WMXUI
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAYatEOjUruJ
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANACU12SECVy5
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAwn4OYzLkS5
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA7E5nt0imCy
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAEuPYjuh3Wj
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAmhVg3hk6mh
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA5aILps3UYQ
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA4x9ejTn3W2
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAb0EXlnvXUH
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ7O59wbw8
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbcuE7HkMoG
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANALKUVWZKNH2
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANArPOzPf0gZQ
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAyZuMHFwoLJ
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
440Please respect copyright.PENANA21l7qctrzd
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAYdOhazyg4p
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
440Please respect copyright.PENANACG2JkSThDQ
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAYHtp3bv5Ef
Seemingly waiting for something
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZByMV4M31J
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAlPCrkxEmH4
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAJDpiAbS74u
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
440Please respect copyright.PENANAEu9ibm1Gkv
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAWTMnQdHmDL
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAXEgJYmRmZV
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAhDHMQM2P34
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAyELjIRYlb7
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
440Please respect copyright.PENANACGgixmr4qg
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAaaM1w1RvGA
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAIXy7wQMYlS
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAU5x2N1i6BX
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAVcKLUdFb2U
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAhqsDhRkbG6
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAcvjLymmjJv
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA5E8KPgppqa
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAmCAVHpvAlH
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAYRbfHIZmUb
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAGgKvN3FQbg
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAG0exekooHH
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
440Please respect copyright.PENANAGdafTA7qU2
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
440Please respect copyright.PENANApCa3WKaXI6
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
440Please respect copyright.PENANAHM0AquI62p
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAfkw8a5F7wI
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAsXWm9zRIya
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbBV7IwMStE
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAQWhhpSLH0F
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAl6vX0nYXFr
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAD1N1iHlpmG
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAVAjuRus0xX
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
440Please respect copyright.PENANALDU57QaFh5
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
440Please respect copyright.PENANADfHbjbvbgv
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAckvLZG9gr9
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAEWce97wFBc
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAMY4S3RTGEd
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
440Please respect copyright.PENANANpzWkIO9oy
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
440Please respect copyright.PENANAmNNzQAJjm2
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAnmaDCGnz2a
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAVsIklUZcAJ
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAq2RgSZ41ke
But her bed was empty.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAeAzazZxBZb
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
440Please respect copyright.PENANASciNF3F4xG
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAOnH3JB6unm
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
440Please respect copyright.PENANAD7Fzy5gchS
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA88BK3xTIhJ
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAul6IErCwdu
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZbgfFIw3Id
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAsg43sB0JDx
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA8m5U0WKIvs
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
440Please respect copyright.PENANANX8RUFEdWl
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAMk1bK3FJSN
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAi4DoQIW9AX
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAQi0SDV1XFc
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAjXN8zj9f8x
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAHQKd5Oj3ZR
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAVeAfVi4VFg
This was the night when i first met Jello.
440Please respect copyright.PENANASZf6sFiIYr
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA92HEDLyP03
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA3kTDMSuXgt
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..
440Please respect copyright.PENANAyVRh2a5bZt
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAxk3vFMa2Sx
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAHGOmOb961A
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAhjYBJopqEk
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAVuTzKh6dul
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAiOjcYFnjB7
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAvQNWeMZZDz
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANANrgn7e0vMk
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAUboEtgJhqT
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
440Please respect copyright.PENANACcP7qTZHPx
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAFxViQgYvql
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAWXWIsA4as2
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
440Please respect copyright.PENANADaxwFePNKC
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAtZB7lc6cNt
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANASU9aHCBlHS
Pudding : “Passing through?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAFRznEoMewJ
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAICDUbpAjH7
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZe8FVX4SBb
Pudding : “An Idol?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbPrCHfpHLE
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAKigrLDOGdM
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAJWS4HaBfDX
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAJdFoVSyEzK
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
440Please respect copyright.PENANA6irZsIPJcr
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAjrXkXbiChP
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
440Please respect copyright.PENANA3MxsIcwTlf
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAfYvKd4YetZ
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAka0FeLaKU9
I asked.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAXjhac3rw7c
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAGYUD2HTS8a
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAAOt1FwkxRv
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAjgjiSiKpmL
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAqBMYyetCYV
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAsTpwusLtDV
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANARDBsNg1k2m
Pudding : "Yes."
440Please respect copyright.PENANA0zMrJXuq5f
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZU6FTKU1eC
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ1OopMoSQ
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAy1YOCl9p6C
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?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANApo3wtxFoq5
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAxTNV1ROtnv
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAHbyvmZVrMD
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAE6Pd8glv6u
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAPxSp4Hkcoi
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAfn3oaus4QZ
But I turned around and asked anyway..
440Please respect copyright.PENANA0t1MHSQRFc
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA1SNhnlvjBY
This was not a question.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAifqq57MA9a
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAifQQmxaQr1
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
440Please respect copyright.PENANA9sMrlhAosW
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ5zfOf5DE
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAJDge4aq3Se
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAwM5rM133WZ
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAske399L9dA
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAwc2cy1Ut2L
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAIeKAckX1NR
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
440Please respect copyright.PENANA6fu5bZXVR6
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
440Please respect copyright.PENANAAw9htFcb05
Jello said with a smile.
440Please respect copyright.PENANABuZzKmYKdv
Children : “Important things?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAf4iOBGvncJ
The children asked with tilted head.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA454jdVmJA0
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAwHhr4vNSxJ
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZSiSR3HjNN
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
440Please respect copyright.PENANApOgunyKyOX
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAXEYdauisfg
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAJ99ep8YbC0
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
440Please respect copyright.PENANApdqWziM5cb
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAqFXh6YcCHo
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAnqqPeiubHF
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAqTcgvdAOSE
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA5AcGkky6lG
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAfmHKDP39iv
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA0qdhRv3s1P
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAvaZk2CW10h
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAIwc5VVadJd
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZhPnQEIJta
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAacy5RNraph
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAtzgvUDjLn9
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA9NFcxXdy4n
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAoSqrdHsLif
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jwf7YdHrR
Jello giggled and said..
440Please respect copyright.PENANAoXjb6kr6C4
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
440Please respect copyright.PENANAnQsUDtf0ru
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANADKDAHPnWdG
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZV4jbDJm4
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ8LSo5yep
Puddinh : “Uh…”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAN9ZZW95oGv
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANABDGgQhVgcD
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
440Please respect copyright.PENANAZHfP4PTPud
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbBRGFg29ob
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAB54YkIxG6r
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAXdOgvMS1Mv
Pudding : “Your manager?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANATQQMTaMizE
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA9qsvi1RID9
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
440Please respect copyright.PENANAOOxJnasFFg
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAbfBt0PUnxF
Jello : “Huh?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANA5pTuROJnQA
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.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAjzWmGeCtoM
Pudding thought it over.
440Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZZ4Jwf5PW
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAVACeNGTfv1
Jello : “That's right!”
440Please respect copyright.PENANABya9aEOWOc
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAfG34PosHGN
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAW40fDhqnzR
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAQpcwKmG0B5
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
440Please respect copyright.PENANA7rQn1bEW7H
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAGybgrbNqX3
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
440Please respect copyright.PENANAz1kXogEZMo
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAsim93Tny0d
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAreGkLwPTaQ
So, Pudding decided to leave, not only to change himself, but to give the children a brighter future.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAyQT6wgtYbm
After leaving the orphanage, Pudding and Jello began their career in show business.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAmff0Y7X2jA
From street performer to idol in waiting, Jello's popularity grew over time.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAn8eQFRsZa7
Although life was getting busier by the day, at first, they always took a day or two to see the children in the orphanage.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAX0IvrcZRoP
But later, as Jello became more popular, the shows increased exponentially.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAuH5bPssUES
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANALIbKkVUA7C
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAc1TBxGgW3P
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.

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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAIzgAfdwGsh
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAA7aclJUK7D
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANANa3LwwfZUj
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAqE1XXbTaq8
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAsaW5k9Ch75
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.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAmyBCv6Xei9
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
440Please respect copyright.PENANAsMbIaRsZdo
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
