This chapter's very short, too. I'm sorry for all the short chapters.

"Taru-Taru's back, na no da!" shouted Pudding as Taruto teleported into her kitchen. "Pudding knew that Taru-Taru would come back eventually, na no da!"
"Yeah, yeah." Taruto said, "I'm back."
Pudding ran over and hugged Taruto tightly. "Pudding missed Taru-Taru very much, na no da."
Taruto tried to break loose. "But I was only gone for an hour or so."
Pudding let go. "Pudding knows, but Pudding missed Taru-Taru anyway, na no da."
"Okay." Taruto replied, smiling.
"What did Kish onii-chan and Pai onii-chan want to tell you, anyway, na no da?" Pudding asked.
"They wanted me to go back to that dreadful planet, of which they call home." Taruto explained.
"Taru-Taru's not going to leave, right?" Pudding questioned, with tears in her eyes, thinking about the last time Taruto left. He was gone for two years and Pudding couldn't take it, but forever, maybe? Pudding was sure that she couldn't survive without Taruto.
Taruto wrapped his arms around Pudding. "Of course not. Why would I want to return to that awful planet anyway when it's so much fun here? It's not like I don't have any friends here, right?"
Pudding smiled. "Right, na no da."
"Nothing can stop me." Taruto said, letting go of Pudding.
"Nothing, na no da?" Pudding asked curiously.
"Nothing." Taruto repeated, trying to reassure Pudding.
"Okay then, na no da." Pudding said, a bit unsure.
"Hey." Taruto reassured, "I'll be fine, Pudding. Don't worry. Nothing can stop me."
