I sit at a table and wait for my noodles.

Usually Pucca would burst through that door with her helmet on after deliveries. She would spot me and rush over and hug me. Usually I would push her away or attempt to run, but after some time I just allowed it, I gave up in trying to get away, plus. I secretly liked it. I always put the thought in my mind that honor and recovering it for my family was important and my number one priority. But when I started having feelings for Pucca...well that all changed, my number one priority was to make her happy, love her and protect her from anything and everything. Tobe noticed that at some point and took her. It was horrible. Pucca could have died! But soon Tobe too decided to stop with the vengeance and is now with JingJing, or Chief as we all call her. They have been keeping each other from trouble. Tobe stoping Chief fr stealing food since he has a life time supplies from Dong King, and Chief stops Tobe from fighting me for vengeance. So it's a win three ways. I finally get to have a break and live like a normal person.

Since I haven't gone to school since Japan I've been going to the library here in Sooga. Or I would watch some educational videos, which were boring. I prefer reading.

"Garu? Garu~?" I snap out of my thoughts as I see Ching and Abyo infront of me. A bowl of hot noodles infront of me as well. "Huh?"

"You were spacing out again. Everything alright?" I nod. I pick up my chopsticks, splitting them into two. I begin to eat. The taste is outstanding like always and it's warmth reminds me of Pucca.

"Sorry..I just can't stop getting worried.."

"Pucca?" I nod. "She's ok. You know how she's friends with everyone!" I look away, knowing Pucca lied to us all hurt, she did it for a good reason though she doesn't want us to worry but when she told me the truth.. that hurt even worse. "Hey do you want to help me and Abyo clean Master Soo's temple? He said if we do he'll give us our own cloud." I look up at Ching, "Master Soo?" She nods, "sure. I want to talk to him anyways." Now's the time to ask him about Pucca.

We arrive at Master Soo's temple. The stairs are literally the worst. Why couldn't he install an escalator or elevator!? My legs are killing me! We all enter his temple and I see master Soo with his maidens. We get closer, "ah kids! Thank you for cleaning this place. It's getting stuffy and I'm getting too old for this. Plus my maidens wanted to take me to a spa!" Ching and Abyo nod, "That sounds nice Master Soo. We hope you enjoy yourself." He stands up as his maidens leave the building. He follows behind, but before he can walk passed me I place my hand on his shoulder. "Master, can we talk?" He looks at me and smiles, "sure boy. What about?" I pull him into an empty room. "Pucca." His face slowly begins to go red. "W-what about Pucca...?"

"Did you really beat her?" Confusion in his eyes, "beat her?" I nod, "when she broke her vow of silence."

"Oh! Right! Her vow. She did break it but beating her....sadly yes..." My eyes widen. "W-what...? Why!?" He looks away guilt written all over his face. "Look kid I don't want to talk right now. We'll talk about his some other time." He pushes me to the side and leaves. I sigh. So master Soo did beat Pucca. Why the hell...?

I walk out to join Ching and Abyo who are already at work. I pick up some supplies and head to another area. His bedroom. I open the door and the place looks comfy. I pull out a duster and begin to collect the dust. A couple of dust bunnies here and there but nothing I couldn't handle. I then spot a book, or a stack of books. I look at the covers.

Sooga Village - the beginning

Sooga Village - seconds century

Sooga Village - third century

So on and so fourth til I found a new looking one.

Sooga Village - Century of Funny Love

Funny love? That's what people said everytime Pucca chased me back then. I hold the book and place it back down, I'll read it after I'm done with the room. I clean the windows puff the pillows and clean all the furniture. I grow a little tired so I decided to take a break. I grab the Sooga Village Funny love volume and sit on all the pillows. I flip the book open and begin to read.
