【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.】
454Please respect copyright.PENANA2QCpAI82VY
【He will always walk by her side act as her escort.】
454Please respect copyright.PENANAemK9UcAQAU
Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAvD28LV3pd1
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAjbTmogU7Lz
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y7WGZl91x
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAD2rfH3IwwQ
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA7dOhHWSber
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsF3Z2rgo0f
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANACWFyoWnX2N
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAauepu3BFGl
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA6otNT0BHDl
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAoZBCiL3uAV
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAd5X9lujLk4
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfGVBVwBmkQ
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOS7Xw0vs6Q
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeygT3G4vf4
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFMGM21zG4g
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfIoYzoXxbP
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgrKhFyZldc
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArkHR29sKEJ
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAqPnk4xwFPp
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
454Please respect copyright.PENANA95XRRTVVKe
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAT9CqGEQ4yz
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA220mLwRMYH
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAAKOvMi1qO
Seemingly waiting for something
454Please respect copyright.PENANAcBXybYO2Lw
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAwdaah9T1l
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAB8fYseIHcc
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
454Please respect copyright.PENANAA2WVYcC51y
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8bd7j2DKyK
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMVDllnfH56
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAUmTG1HzcB8
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAz6JGhK4coh
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
454Please respect copyright.PENANA4f0msN9Z7r
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAcq9TQSUfSb
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA6ufhlArhRN
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5kZ8w6UyT7
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
454Please respect copyright.PENANASdJ7v0XWcS
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArjXT73i8SY
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAkSQpaQt4BL
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwA138brWCw
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAW5vl0LBwB2
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA1JlNImBD5o
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAxCA89DwsvF
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAlWtQbXCN6z
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMcpx9ivwxu
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAqiYypdHhR9
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
454Please respect copyright.PENANA9wcAF1796w
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAT5OWcv7RXs
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFj8U7jqLHO
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgMuvdbxJXb
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANASjeK3HZql8
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAugOCpz2m9x
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAyyVKk1iuIV
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAN8OGArRD1u
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgcVD8UqEVi
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAM5KGlWXACF
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA7om5hsjcBV
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAHQE734t6V
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGqIoopsG1F
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAdFqhOQVfv1
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAA5eIfYH6pe
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAE5sxzfAULp
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0BWnl3KLEh
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAm82Nrbczza
But her bed was empty.
454Please respect copyright.PENANASKSUdooF5K
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeGoxXT53ep
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAkfkg3vvMGO
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5neTJRMIYM
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAj7I0IytwA1
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsOunnWp2mA
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAr3hZUEj1DV
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
454Please respect copyright.PENANANn2cFn3eL9
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA4G8tQ61Hrx
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAk65zFLuUPJ
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAqQjFaDx69y
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAE7ZUOjjkBl
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtUlQshqnHf
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8zvZYr9kyC
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAp6gmMbDhAF
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAlMCtCB0Ih0
This was the night when i first met Jello.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAyGFF9Y69tt
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
454Please respect copyright.PENANADUwQ6UAvr7
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfkdlY3VlGI
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..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAiX8ZVXPoz
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5fNTzQVMaI
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAkNMgW2CC07
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPoSNh8dTnf
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAuIaC20xfnc
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAWMjevGRIE1
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwpvj3D79rv
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAINgIxe39PV
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA7wbCNHKL37
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAbY4PEDmtEu
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAA7nlHhSnFT
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAIusoQkiCxN
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXMFywLB1E3
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAQm2SvwYsmT
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8DbNTRhDCp
Pudding : “Passing through?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANABSCgftXwKl
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANArXid7kTFYC
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYRqDuN9AfB
Pudding : “An Idol?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeCKfgNLAR0
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtMAFSYzx90
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAe9OMa3ncbx
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAhZbaFAulJT
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAzA4JLDMdLR
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAoNnWvHIaLX
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYHYUuEbiSJ
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAvB7P9TAIS5
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsCNmDg9je7
I asked.
454Please respect copyright.PENANARMofSIIn9s
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXEb8WcFFEV
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeCU1tpsvsD
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAy4SaXCepq8
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAVdeYjWKKZn
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAjBDDuTXDwW
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5al7GwM8Op
Pudding : "Yes."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAc6FEl02Uat
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAHNqTDVElnJ
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANATAjIfyoyJy
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAxxwkvHcfdN
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?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAvADBJuxnxp
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAhQaj1fMLjL
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYvrRhTOasp
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAqJPuJ3DznC
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAe2VEBDWMbm
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAC4JobQ9iys
But I turned around and asked anyway..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYpZdCMYUkb
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAu4hvgWB47a
This was not a question.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAEI3IwF0E70
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAvgjFmbBhxk
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANANZtS2zyyOw
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAdiQYE0aAio
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAJYQ2ICcw77
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAg8sf5qzS8R
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAz6gTpWOBd3
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANALlAa68x1nM
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXANC5z6HGm
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAJBlrGrpct
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAIS1CWvjckM
Jello said with a smile.
454Please respect copyright.PENANALgL9DQOG6P
Children : “Important things?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFnVbAiIHam
The children asked with tilted head.
454Please respect copyright.PENANARMPC8D3nAl
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANArWX2jvnOSc
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYlzGdT99qU
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKqFYF9dIjG
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAa37EVTG8eh
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANALFvyWNwAeC
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAe1V3bnbfa1
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAm3cPEpX66y
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA9UOgcN4zzQ
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAuO1harDOvI
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAde7MrP2570
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsCrmr4I0aM
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAvhKabhZins
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAfNNBh6QQd
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAX9OHuFchv6
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAinZmQaP9R4
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXPCghpblLO
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAR0WkTpgNkA
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAs6gVUVcT5A
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA1etTdJJeeI
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANARAYJlSh5zD
Jello giggled and said..
454Please respect copyright.PENANA3imYSKU2Bb
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0WfmDzsIcL
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAADiYhCC4ZH
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKtmWSuV8p6
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANARyHm7RXHiA
Puddinh : “Uh…”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAhsT1pNnBAt
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAujLk7Kzlcw
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
454Please respect copyright.PENANAB0wm3FJv5z
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAcdLICHpcaM
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAZS0TWmQzx9
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOzzjrtxeEJ
Pudding : “Your manager?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAROw5Wb9w7C
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANADVanHUiGRe
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
454Please respect copyright.PENANA6gCETOBFQZ
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANALpwSLG7034
Jello : “Huh?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAogIW9kkUUP
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.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAE8IfyTLuqG
Pudding thought it over.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAZrvROH2T3I
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
454Please respect copyright.PENANArEnrjlAjhy
Jello : “That's right!”
454Please respect copyright.PENANA63inVH3Af2
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAK6syGQ5glr
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAiN2jmttfKw
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAk5O06EyB2U
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0SXONydbPa
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
454Please respect copyright.PENANADmBLW4sPOe
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
454Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Avp3h40z
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAjkMhtZGAcJ
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfBpdoi3kMf
So, Pudding decided to leave, not only to change himself, but to give the children a brighter future.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAdbsLBtW2n4
After leaving the orphanage, Pudding and Jello began their career in show business.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAuMFDwRPbqc
From street performer to idol in waiting, Jello's popularity grew over time.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mcmr0GgFc
Although life was getting busier by the day, at first, they always took a day or two to see the children in the orphanage.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKgYIp2hf6n
But later, as Jello became more popular, the shows increased exponentially.
454Please respect copyright.PENANADOp2Vfw5eg
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAyyEdit5hhx
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAP01XvSbCRQ
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAngtImziFTN
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAocXnAN1X3T
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYuW32bqnjc
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAhenjbdKoGC
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0D3YXIkJf6
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAuYuhnUGDxV
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOBA5GROhYO
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAIlaYbaGBB0
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0YWTte6wuz
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
