【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.】

Far from the bustling downtown streets, there is a lonely old street.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAk20wi7olIx
The buildings there have never been fixed up, and the speckled marks on the walls are plainly visible.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbwbuVg4pbt
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAOvR7Xssr8c
Clear glass. A shaft of light makes its way through the leaves, and on into a French window, finally clinging onto a desktop.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAqQXFBSDfxM
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA4PIIsNqAQH
The glass shone and radiated a prism of sumptuous color as is it was placed in the sunlight.
The color of the sun.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2s4X0iPww
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAOxiWnSUes0
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1juLTrkrbg
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAAED4WwmceN
It is usually i, who is the last to leave the restaurant.
416Please respect copyright.PENANABkA41UjCx2
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANADF057vRn78
I tried to find where was the sound was coming from, but to no avail.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kf1wV96nJ
I can only wait for night song to begin its symphony, and then listen intently until it fades into the tree-covered street.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAI2eAHiTohU
I have come here unwittingly. This orphanage located on this old street, was converted from a monastery.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAeYMV1iVWRw
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkswvAhpCrU
The orphanage looks deserted, it is darkened and obscured by the timeless trees.
Making it a wonderful place to rest.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfoxIz2tUs7
Child :
“Pudding, What are you doing standing in the doorway?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA599mDg1Cgq
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAU699p810Ll
If it were not for the still of the night, no one could hear her cries.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA6yzw1yqyYM
Pudding : (I only just got back.)
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfZEa8A2WB4
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2ffTnbShnB
That’s the place where My Lady taught her how to read.
I thought she missed My Lady, now i think, perhaps not.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIMkQTFpXHx
This child would leave the house and sit under the tree at the same time every day.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8CJft2AB2N
Seemingly waiting for something
416Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Ale4xZ7y
Child :
“A new companion came today.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZOVK8QlzbR
Her thin, frail shoulder quivered slightly.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAFJS71mZLGA
Pudding : (Yes, I know.)
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5Occ4UZHF
Actually, I heard about it from the nuns before I went to work at the restaurant this morning.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKxyhHaAzRm
They said the nuns who got up earlier to prepare food, found an abandoned boy on the way back to here.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAuK0tH6KlYB
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0MSiukVQHS
They name the boy Joel for the sake of convenience.
416Please respect copyright.PENANADFTZbzCnDY
Pudding :
(It’s late, you might catch a cold, go back home and get some sleep.)
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPr0AM4PlFV
I walked closer, expressing what I wanted to say in sign and gesture.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9FUwTaOiy
The little child nodded, and then went back inside.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmMcstu6uFY
My Lady told me that..
One day, a child was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage, because of a hearing problem.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8S0QTq6bDe
Even so, the child could still hear at first, and could speak with others so some extent.
416Please respect copyright.PENANADiKmPk4PPV
It was also that time that My Lady taught her to read and use sign language.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAtRIj0NyjrD
In this orphanage, most of the children were without family members, but she was the only one who couldn’t communicate normally.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAwQfwdVDfo8
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIEjdQR8jdB
Most likely because she was a sensitive child.
416Please respect copyright.PENANALpvHtt0ivC
She gradually learned to assess people’s behavior and mastered reading lips at the same time she was losing her hearing.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAet2xM06HM6
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkEd41bH5Jb
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAa20d8rANZq
I can’t imagine what I can possibly dedicate myself to;
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPSecijBZIA
Just as I can’t imagine what this child is going through.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAw2F43fO0op
What kind of prison has her frail hearing has been sentenced to?
416Please respect copyright.PENANAClhKTfhsXc
The morning sunlight passes through the branches of trees, day is starting anew.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQpdS7kTG1Q
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA4JvSW74OiX
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAlhxC1VTIga
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkcA64wiccY
I surveyed the scene calmly; everything was going on like My Lady had wished.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAoHMidTDG2G
The introverted child still sits under the camphor tree.
416Please respect copyright.PENANARW8Rqac5N0
Unlike the past, there was a figure concealed by the tree trunk who wasn't the child right now.
416Please respect copyright.PENANARGk8e6ntyz
At the time, I was not in the mood to think so much about this.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAR5BlLKZ85c
I just thought that her world will be better if she had someone to be with.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAqPtYAIrRL6
I went to work at the restaurant after arranging the children for the morning prayer and giving breakfast for the children.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAwRlzSSllJy
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANARaurgctnI5
Peaceful days had gone on like this.
416Please respect copyright.PENANANTxlrNTmn8
Until late one night when that small, thin figure did not appear before me as it always had.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2m9oFHxg5
The moon was so beautiful along silver glow of the moonlight that night, it was if the whole world has become soft, but..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAphNChKaKm5
I felt a bit uneasy, so, i went to the child’s room to check on her.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgXqe5LY6Sv
Not surprisingly, there was a reason for that uneasy feeling i had just a moment ago.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAG74RN8oEgX
Everyone in the tiny four-person room was fast asleep.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Z6rtCC0J
But her bed was empty.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAhvB793snc5
Based on my memory of the child, it seems that she never talked to anyone.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYa6GB9DMz2
So that didn’t stir up too much of a ruckus, and i went out looking for her myself.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkbr8y8Yw3l
The late of night had fallen just under my nose, the desolate street looked all the quieter..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWaLqR2qpoR
Starting from with road the orphanage was on, I searched every possible place that she could be.
416Please respect copyright.PENANArfTonI8mHi
Just like that I was at the restaurant where I worked.
Then, I heard the familiar voice again.
416Please respect copyright.PENANALKIBEUB0K4
The sweet and gentle song, like a fragrance carried on the breeze or like sweet smell of daisies.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyVbOJkGx7I
This time it felt like the sound was very close to me, but I didn’t know why.
416Please respect copyright.PENANADYiE4qHnHB
I drew nearer and suddenly felt like I was just one step away from seeing the owner of that haunting melody.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8wFfp8SwbY
I knew that the song I was hearing was the voice I have been searching for all along.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAGZdJiHMZXi
Like a sailor to the enchanted siren’s song, I was gradually being drawn onto a small path obscured by trees.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3nFa4PIjUR
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Yj3afuEH
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJGp6yq4ePc
The faint glow of moonlight filtered through the leaves, and the light shone down like a spotlight on the singing girl.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJOjwtmDRax
Her long soft green hair fluttered in the moonlight; I could see a bright smile on her face even though her eyes were closed.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjDGvBzoBWs
At that moment I couldn’t move, and time seemed to stand still.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAEuacpBXSAK
This was the night when i first met Jello.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4rW9wazSJ
Little Girl : “Pudding…”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyNoyhaeKqb
One hand pulled at my clothes and brought me back to my senses.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAglGx7ummm0
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..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAx6NGGXFLGi
Pudding :
“Why would you come here alone?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA4KuFTX7GtL
My tone was a bit harsher than usual, but it was somewhat reproachful actually.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAilQsOLJBcc
“No, I am not alone,”
She said.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8OpkXhFvza
I saw a blond boy around the same age as her standing behind her.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8ElS8tvS0S
If my memory served me correctly, his name is Joel.
He’s the boy who had just come to the orphanage.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAUZnTG44zeW
I hadn’t really thought too hard about it, but just at that moment the singing stopped.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1VLc0ZLJJJ
Jello :
“Great, someone came to meet up with me!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANArlWbi3xkO1
The green ponytailed girl smiled and jumped in front of me.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAo4fcBvUJSX
Pudding :
“I’m Pudding, I'm sorry about the trouble these kids have brought you.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAECtXGdFr0v
I bowed my head slightly and thanked her.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfqDgGIJKpZ
Jello :
“No problem! No one has listened to Jello's songs for quite a long time, Jello is so happy!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAFSU7LWeVXM
Jello's voice was sweet and soft, and her smile was so full of life.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2st3GZ7JNn
Pudding : “Are you from around here?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2XgC7YdPGM
Jello:
“Yes, but i am just passing through.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8DIu9X06HZ
Pudding : “Passing through?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAFVZYj78JOR
Jello :
“Umm...No.. I should probably say that Jello an idol in-training.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJZJAei8JNj
Jello seemed to hesitate momentarily.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAk50Zt9fn0U
Pudding : “An Idol?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7ESnJ73PhD
That word was quite difficult for me to wrap my head around.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA14tiVurJhD
Jello :
“Yeah.. Jello is an idol,heh heh…”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAd7JQZc9ZlT
As if Jello wanted to prove what she was saying was true, she patted her chest firmly when she was talking.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYeHV5k0JaJ
Jello :
“Idols are people who can bring smiles to everyone through singing!"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAGGqfv50g8Z
Jello :
"My dream is to be the greatest idol that can bring the biggest smile to everyone!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7cAtubrbaC
Jello smiled sweetly, in a way that made me feel the radiance of her smile was fleeting..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJyMe3dxI5q
The moon was quickly hidden behind layers of clouds and just as quickly freed from the clouds.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyXeszLD1iC
Pudding : “That’s great, isn’t it?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdfFz21qQ8C
I asked.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAUY0ttZp2rC
There is nothing desire to go after, and i don’t have any special feelings for the people and things around me.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAUWLBFy0hl7
So, I like the people who strive for their dreams.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZDV3CqyqeZ
No, I should be more specific, I admire that.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAe6JrE729rn
A wry smile played across my lips at the thought of it.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAETbAVwQECW
Just then the moon just emerged from behind the dark clouds, and those two nimble cat’s eyes caught a glimpse of my smile.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAddLYI13w0B
Jello :
“Pudding, are you sure that there's nothing that you want to do?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWsHdZd4sl9
Pudding : "Yes."
416Please respect copyright.PENANATF2orG6ylg
My flat, emotionless tone even scared myself.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7iwz3GJU66
Jello :
“Then why don’t you find whatever you like to do, and make that your dream?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAnCHujQ1lXt
Jello was not affected by my sudden dispirited tone, she just kept on encouraging me with verve and tenacity.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAnMOSf8ccw5
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?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbdLaT71jCJ
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyLU9gLkxW3
It must be because her voice was just what i always imagined it would be.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAEH94E8tfwp
Pudding :
“Lacy, Joel, we have to be get back to the orphanage.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANASbYjV2bQnk
I put my arms around the two children, and was going to leave.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAU9axu2Uw7D
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAHkyUizSMCU
But I turned around and asked anyway..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKujnZuz0LS
Pudding :
“By the way, if you are just passing through, you can always come stay with us.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbvz7sf7eAT
This was not a question.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfaMheHbOzT
This was the first time in my life i ever felt desperate.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdAcc7fzLyV
Jello : "Can I..? Really?"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAM5T6HMfo56
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0hOrJpXu6E
Pudding :
“Oh, are you leaving, Jello?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZnMXigIv6X
Lacy : “No, don’t go! ~…”.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZge7kkLgco
Joel :
“Yeah, you haven’t been here long at all!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdSGMLc8P5F
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAGoV5lLhLWy
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAE0adLrJKPc
Jello :
"I will definitely come back and sing again to everyone."
416Please respect copyright.PENANAVSROxxoXKz
Jello :
"But, now Jello now has important things to do."
416Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0HSNFdaV
Jello said with a smile.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAd8j76N1dk8
Children : “Important things?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAHG0vdRQEgl
The children asked with tilted head.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAm8H2G8Lysp
Jello :
“Uh huh! Jello is going to be an even more wonderful idol!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAr7VvQnDpxf
Jello : “See! Isn't that amazing?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAUGj7Kw3puw
The children, who did not really understand what was going on, but started bragging to each other.
416Please respect copyright.PENANACl5vseLTg2
They made prideful remarks claiming that they would become a cooking attendant.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA4ndONLUrqK
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAalyfvDQCFp
Few children gathered round Pudding whining for him not to leave like they did with Jello.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAarLlUqSkZP
Pudding was nothing but a bystander watching the children circle around Jello.
416Please respect copyright.PENANATYV6SV6RFS
Pudding suddenly felt a tug on his clothes, he looked behind himself and realized it was Lacy.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAelsWrl9tTG
Lacy : “Are you going to leave?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANACIKPyK0Ceh
Pudding : “Yes, I am leaving today.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAo1QnL2FYc5
Pudding :
“Don't go out running around in the middle of the night.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQKWw4h830B
Lacy :
“It’s okay, Joel is here with me.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANActTK6TOg5r
Pudding : “Then that’s fine.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANACPhfeC8mBs
Lacy :
“You’ve finally found what you want to do then”
416Please respect copyright.PENANABszeoiBHED
Pudding had been talking with Lacy in sign language; and behind Lacy was Joel warching them quietly.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIbpjt0oHV2
The night before Pudding decided to leave, bedtime in monastery was as quiet as usual.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAAjBQ2xhIqw
However, on this still dark night, only a faint lantern flickered dimly in a window.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7nbe1GuDTj
Pudding : “Where are you going?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAX85WSXyEMn
Pudding asked Jello in a serious tone.
416Please respect copyright.PENANALny66706Il
Pudding :
“If you're leaving then i'll also leave.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fpgz2qJCw
Jello giggled and said..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAR3Td6BICVK
Jello :
“You don’t look like someone about to leave.."
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJqrrOyjrrG
Jello :
“Are you sure it’s okay to go out like this?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAemC4p4b55e
Pudding :
“Let’s not talk about that, what if you get caught by those men in black.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7DnzOZIG2R
Jello :
“The men in the black? Who are they? Pudding’s friends?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkSHF8PpDlM
Puddinh : “Uh…”
416Please respect copyright.PENANApy6jbpFXYS
Pudding :
“Are you sure you can manage without a problem?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAVaJ1GyrQel
Pudding put her hands on her forehead and said,
416Please respect copyright.PENANApnSgKL1Lfv
Jello :
“Huh? Is Pudding worried about Jello?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAzzKyN4ZoqB
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1EsgEUekZ
Jello :
“Does Pudding want to be my manager?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAY0JwSB6IAt
Pudding : “Your manager?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAiQzyva6T1i
Jello :
"Yeah! with Pudding around, Jello wouldn’t be afraid..!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPmVOTHt1bS
Pudding didn’t answer right away, he was thinking of something at length and then said..
416Please respect copyright.PENANAqGXexrw13Q
Pudding :
“I wanted to take care of the orphanage for My Lady,my former Master Attendant.. And that’s why i am here.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2D81ZQore2
Jello : “Huh?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmwGEmMpaQz
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.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1nclaSLEHL
Pudding thought it over.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbAI8OVBPuQ
Pudding :
“The responsibilities of a manager is to plan and arrange an idol's schedule, right?”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsfJeo8UhBb
Jello : “That's right!”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAV1fltH1Na4
Pudding :
“Then, from now own, i'll be Jello's manager.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANANPQfuZWHEb
Pudding :
“I shall and will always be by your side.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANAhFYGmyCX9w
It it was just like that that Pudding made a promise.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkknMLRvJ6N
Jello :
“Well.. Jello will also work real hard!"
416Please respect copyright.PENANAwu0afRJhIc
Jello didn’t know whether she was nervous or overjoyed, she even started talking in a higher tone of voice.
416Please respect copyright.PENANA4X4dLiyYBT
Pudding :
“Okay, don’t worry, just be yourself.. I will protect you wherever you go.”
416Please respect copyright.PENANARoPzOWo59X
Pudding put his hand on Jello's head, which was the only way he had ever learned to comfort people from his Lady.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAu2ECp0WqvC
Pudding knows that there is more to protecting Jello than just a promise.
416Please respect copyright.PENANATTsocuTef8
So, Pudding decided to leave, not only to change himself, but to give the children a brighter future.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPrGvdAyX3u
After leaving the orphanage, Pudding and Jello began their career in show business.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmLDjuHklIl
From street performer to idol in waiting, Jello's popularity grew over time.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAzasAR0T2yM
Although life was getting busier by the day, at first, they always took a day or two to see the children in the orphanage.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAAlhrnUgNky
But later, as Jello became more popular, the shows increased exponentially.
416Please respect copyright.PENANArnaA4Pd7KO
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJqLLatUTc1
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAHJWXw2gBoG
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmsswlHEh11
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKlLiCu1BzB
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8dvcjwPKr
Even though everything had been destroyed, he could feel nothing.
His heart seemed empty, like a deep black hole, stifling him.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjDDacIGVa6
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgBhigJAM3Z
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAm9oqCHRaKG
Yet, even though he tried to stop her over and over again, Jello still snuck out alone without telling Pudding.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIb9nJLaA64
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.
416Please respect copyright.PENANArv1wozg8dh
From then on, Jello never again returned to the orphanage.
And Pudding black listed the infatuated foodie.
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjBU9hkGBPy
And it was then that their fate took a turn for the worse..
