【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.】
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn1UQhUdGf
Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGriRHsahn
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsVyCdAZ9k
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1A0NTLNi
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqSdveAycX
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBRdy6UFRT
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd1XW5vw4x
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwCTkhtrC3
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKWLym8UNt
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3RRJZIjeH
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomSRGws1Pz
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISbwmFrzND
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Yqjfiyiq
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yK4nz9u9t
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsVXF4hvle
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZneA7eSaa
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOi4HWsJny
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9LJFqIlIe
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0V00UTvZZ
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSfG7CfNFy
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeI75nmW6d
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50I3A5ATme
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGGL9CMzs6
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPWzn6vToT
Seemingly waiting for something
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpot4K42blc
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6XSHwh8Gw
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5OsggIUmj
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1H8w3IW2
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjvjLOIaBr
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qou6H3Zct
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQmLrrycB9
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Ek8DaL4v
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKeFj5tFhV
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv4mYMvcWe
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhVq3sNiic
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXldAAH5vIO
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFX6FYOYTs
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnZjPOzbhT
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH07TicsXCw
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcAotQ8zKH
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy8QxETKKc
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzabncznSV
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5f0irPj0
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZlGlGj8Rl
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLGYLNzR5F
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHpBe2m207
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2wgU0As02
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ550939k1Bt
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH06cbGfk1d
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd3LWXxFxX
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhhCnnSRYe
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLKFen0XGZ
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q08hEDxrD
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7wy9thSC0
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHvlBBl9K4
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv05HrwSTvl
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKzrZVcHxp
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIPAkIMOG
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ289CTO9j
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdztKqdTLs
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6DFyMP3J
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAbOTPAOGa
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRr6sl7ebC
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o4FhJbKJ0
But her bed was empty.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy1jq7SGaQ
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o7vygdPcU
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsm7euXrXh
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqkWVhtmv
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIkovQHJBZ
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoqVsDTQMC
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8vXrXJl99
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmRO4fihhp
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjCJGEKt5Y
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPfm39tXWQ
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYSj7QyLSH
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeevxqGpmIr
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeQVyFDRvx
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKCvVTaQde
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMxF7fzNFC
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bu81xXR5U
This was the night when i first met Jello.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOyXA6lE1i
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYG2V8SFAL
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCx4xQh9hL
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..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Nq5K05jT
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSS1pWbvnR
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKwbT92E2
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkt8SJt818
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8nwsGUO8U
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bnlvqYEYd
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfuWO8vKeY
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArP8QDiKq
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5JoipI4e7
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixUeSzyA55
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBeKwpS1iw
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfok3haoGXv
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZqu1YO4ei
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT2YBXFags
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGtCvlWIM6
Pudding : “Passing through?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTp546MtWW
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcy1ZCHXkw
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSrdamfGhq
Pudding : “An Idol?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhqnD3mwGO
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLBK4x78p5
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0gQu1p8TD
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMSJV9g3OV
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGtibzaYSY
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1utg6is3x
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZmVfqxu7n
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrcy097lGQ
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsdhY6Hse7
I asked.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcqAtkfWLi
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7ZhHpHHR
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJUo4qWndN
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq44ZtcxOic
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA09PCz6k8
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkQkrMaLK8
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5HHusvdAy
Pudding : "Yes."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE21nnFl6VB
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ExzAzlDq
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkKOHzTw0X
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqXnmfhXpj
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?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnM7G7c9VN
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXWdbSGmJ6
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx1fsntNHC
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWClATDMWUR
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS8hvlVvar
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6hPMUG8Mo
But I turned around and asked anyway..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewmB7sNCDs
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoX4pYpK7t
This was not a question.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ypgiUp7s
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXduLzZ5EG
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsgyhoH9gO
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFnoCugYiG
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnC3B5l9in
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkdHKWTNat
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L1jmkPbbQ
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMDmYcw54R
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHmZV3h9o0
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ8nVTIPQB
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatp0gXYMVx
Jello said with a smile.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZIxFjZLFi
Children : “Important things?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzevyMB6fQ
The children asked with tilted head.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcufOzDEuZl
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVz5SLGpRq
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s0Kb0RyfI
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzquXR3F6o
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV068mZgSTr
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VdB8CLQTo
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hqrPsviBW
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtos1ptXY9W
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf6ZWiVR8p
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wsTGnCQdj
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkwdh0gl41
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMImEYDZyux
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0l0UGAIjN
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjf9GdiVRk
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AGz34vL4l
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmIj253Iki
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe2WGttmt4
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnNmYk56dB
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Yu25ZGMt
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcsow0kG6P
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNujRH4QpHm
Jello giggled and said..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAKNJZs0g7
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUp3VOCRT
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcPOLFiZNY
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mMd035VGe
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2P3kft3ff
Puddinh : “Uh…”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdXBqv8w8s
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0xlI00pkN
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM89oIGsqBn
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3zOYNZxXb
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro2V5q5YKl
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wxHydSqGK
Pudding : “Your manager?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak8jykiDkl
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2enJC52AgB
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7GgCRlS12
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGsD7IYaeu
Jello : “Huh?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLU8ibbiir
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.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Xe2ZnngU
Pudding thought it over.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvHcCFliLC
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj8psfeulh
Jello : “That's right!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43gnj84OBT
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqIzNgwrSp
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCufH9t9fp
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh34ipoKNai
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZxj0Euper
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP6qQl0R36
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy63Od3kPt5
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA68DzSodF
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.

So, Pudding decided to leave, not only to change himself, but to give the children a brighter future.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8eynccvq7
After leaving the orphanage, Pudding and Jello began their career in show business.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalyslOaW9Y
From street performer to idol in waiting, Jello's popularity grew over time.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGpACfT0mO
Although life was getting busier by the day, at first, they always took a day or two to see the children in the orphanage.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiH4tgZhiC
But later, as Jello became more popular, the shows increased exponentially.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EL3mD4JD4
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsSaVlWt1
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPssUpU6u
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHPgq7cAwg
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnUXOoBb21
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemRo40NAE3
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MPr4KYuP
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bW42oOkFg
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm78ZnCQlCU
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFKgxhMHM
He could no longer see the faces of the children laughing. I am clearer about that fact than anyone else.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZOK7RVLuG
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHC0iGYOvm
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQUJDbjWk
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxNisARUXJ
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqZ1A5rNcB
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
