【Jello is a young girl with a lot of heart and vitality.】

【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】

A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmAL8nVmLP
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Qdlc5kWt
I always feel so much better when i look out at a vista such as this.
It's as if I could walk out my door and see him.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aQsEUUvrP
It's a rare day off for me.
Ever since I became an idol, I haven't had even a moment of peace and quiet in what seems like forever.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUBfqbq8Wh
Walking along the edge of the waves, my feet are occasionally soaked by the waves as i take one step after another into what is like an expanse that just keeps on extending forward.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXOt8s58TX
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66aSSDqT3o
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcdQNnFyTo
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQerLPKQFU
A slightly yellowed paper on which a hand-scrawled messaged is obscured by the golden sunlight peeking through the transparent bottle, but there is nothing else inside.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW2FC1wjvF
I don't know whose wishes were sent adrift across the sea to some far-off place. I only wish that it could float to the place where whoever sent it on its journey had wanted it to go.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUAAmboaIN
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ36pl5h0Y4
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz4TGgYwg0
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L1uJnHMQ6
In my heart of hearts, I wanted so much to see him for real but didn't know if I would, but the moment I turned around to see him I just smiled and said..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWxLiKMLK4
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSM4iUPUrE
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi2uses2X9
Pudding pushed his sunglasses up and earnestly went about the business of foraging through the contents of the small notebook that had been lying in the inner pocket of his shirt.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfspSVzFFO
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuUJ0QhFug
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSSv0hllx
As an idol, my activities hold a lot of weight.But listen, there's thing that's kept me from resting easy at night, and that is...
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88qpNQb5pn
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVAGpa1caC
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEofLPyvha
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT55pdS90Yl
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYv35B1uBs
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpq3HxWcBm
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHy5Umrezq
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCRnMEtPCA
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLQGX6ag6l
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTGIxyFdbh
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U4ijR4MFC
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn3Y5bX5pb
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhG3ZvwGr
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc4Bp61Quc
I said with my face beaming.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIBR0j722O
When i said this, Pudding's usual deadpan expression turned to a frown, which is the one emotion i could ever read from looking at his face hidden behind dark sunglasses.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPXoAicPqL
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevn6mncGFd
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb0XHADy5z
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyK8NvRhI1
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJVYamIPaC
Jello :
"That's fine, just donate them to the orphanage like you always do, and i'll keep those amazing songs coming for my fans."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5kPUtvYcU
When i was an up-and-coming singer, i often went to an orphanage in an old street with Pudding, where i would sing songs for the children.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEQPSG1BIM
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByPDQyOPFU
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlSRYlQZvG
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjP1PWiS1J
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzA79WzOZ5
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqvXvFZYrF
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouzJCoaVYo
On the front of the envelope was my name.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcVIV0sr4d
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQFE48yhf8
I would like to know what the humans thought of my existence. That's the reason why i was so curious about the contents of the letter.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwWWNNVbS
I opened it carefully.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SgQnAaSPI
There were two papers inside.
One was an ordinary yellow-green paper with nothing written on it, and the other paper was torn with only an unknown address scrawled onto it.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalEkRGFrl5
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bfSFCknWK
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSomx2y1Lu
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaDt1hebkH
Pudding came sneaking up behind me and i started to panic.
Maybe i was too into what i was doing to pay attention to anything else..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS54ViI2gvT
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfsooq0fm1
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh20UmMpCci
"But they didn't say anything about it at all. Jello can't understand what the humans are thinking about, so what should i write to them?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2S27g21YR
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCclDYHWTf
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡormTqpuOB3
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TpP06ObaI
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PBYu7E6eo
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjf4IX2T5Y
Though i tried to think up of lots of captivating things that an idol should talk about with their fans, i couldn't make up my mind on what i should write.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB0EE1BqQ2
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSVSnZZgJ7
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YUnPByEFg
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI0FUxsP8D
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyaZ1DJP66
I didn't even know what kind of expression would cross their face as they read my letter.
As an idol on the stage, i always see people smiling at me.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswBv0hc6D5
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zkxqfufig
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVpVer2sAW
A few days later, I received another letter.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkIuYjeX7N
They say their name is Lacy.
She has been in love with my music since the first time she heard it.
She says my songs bring her hope and inspiration because she feels the happiness in my music.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAkJq3NN1f
The letter was only a few lines long, but it made me so happy i could jump for joy.
The letter wasn't formatted and remained unsigned.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlujYMdbcg
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJX6qa79uR
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8lTBM8P1Z
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsF6pML9RX
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9nJukJ8Tv
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt6FWNu6lI
Pudding : "Any good news?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvzVlff6qQ
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cCbmBXDQN
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqUBOBn3Wx
Pudding said calmly.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUMLYgxbeK
Oh.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ObuPGJNKS
I felt my cheeks flush at the words.
I realized that feeling of joy overflowing from the bottom of my heart was about, and because, of the person standing right in front of me.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Fljari61
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnzgE2N1vB
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9iULVZkML
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRdccPS3gP
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf5pbYkW6F
I often complained to Lacey about the way that Pudding keeps blathering on about my schedule and reputation, but then he wouldn't allow me to see the children at the orphanage, or let me go back onstage when the audience yells 'Encore!' like I used to.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMB2w49QUP
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDylsDYW0Ms
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwzQwXfjt7
From the time i first met him to the time he became my manager, there was nothing he couldn't do.
He's so well organized.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAjFNEljwr
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXva8ygt6sK
I've never seen Lacy.
But when i do, i would tell this intimate stranger so many things about my life that i normally couldn't tell anyone else.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6BZa8PdDo
I guess Lacy thinks the same way, because she's told me so many things about herself, she told me what happened when she met her friend Joel for the first time, and how he disappeared so suddenly, only to meet up again a few years later.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJ0niurpz
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610gFclAjH
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79foA7ZayJ
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhmvsMQr0p
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJzeryuaui
After all, she talks about him so happily.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoJus4cLgZ
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnGSwJmkBF
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ1Co1XPLt
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf6f0up4sb
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMopylXZ9V
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnczBYjnlP
Jello : "Okay!"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDZwAehBeL
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpprRB4UlwC
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdL754vvp

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rFsLGLOO
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbDJufkl84
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JRaXpVBFv
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz3vIALn2y
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP5cihPlSo
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngM77ftHxB
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabBFfn55T6
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBew7Tx1Yd
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSx25La3i
Jello : "Uhm..."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt7f9nKhFP
Pudding has always been like that.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mnNLjWm5q
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5EMwN01Nv
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKREBt6Xrlr

466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqViytcLB0F
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tZzmzpH5S
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LZ66H2feQ
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRbMrSxppU
I took out the yellow-green stationery that i buried deep inside the drawer. I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, but i noticed the paper already beginning to yellow in some places.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaodep8BG2
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPgymZGTQ8
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

I put the letter and a ticket for a concert that would be held in three days into the envelope, and then gave it to Pudding.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4HiCwG8zu
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJQlnYf7Ix
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gXauvumMh
Voices chanted as people swarmed underneath the elevated stage. I secretly peeked from behind the curtains, but then i realized i didn't know what Lacy looked like.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsW0EmKWk0
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7X2ev3rJC
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLoyTk1jE
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCyBishwbf
The stage would be all lit up next.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe7Q5dKQLI

466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTQULA3c9r

466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0uZWFuQaK

But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgzj6jZMtn
As a Food Soul, she couldn't stay too long in the same place; with so much more life time than human beings, she had made the choice to constantly change her living environment.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpRYeam1b7
She just likes people and wanted to keep living among them, the way she had in the beginning when her Master Attendant was still alive.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpBgfyKV1r
The weathered buildings looked like they had already been abandoned, so it was surprising that there was still a road through the lush forest
In a way, it was like the trees were covering the road.
As she thought this, suddenly she let out a gleeful laugh.

Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE5HGSuHFK
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPrSMSCTtN
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbnyipO1OQ
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcufQIx3Rw
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlV5RzUnSc
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9oa8nrxuo
On this night as well, Jello came here to sing the same as usual.
The only thing different was that there were two children sitting in her normally deserted meadow.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWlFGU9Yh8
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDCLbDO9KS
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEve14wZk3
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5kNUEsCbB
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU1yVXmN9b
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaIQmNq4tj
The way the girl spoke was a little awkward, but Jello still understood what she was saying.
On the other hand, the little blonde boy with blue eyes just sat there staring at her without saying a word.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QkOuSgtye
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhcmmQmHx0
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMhAPejAVc
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHEjycYWk
Child : "So it was you!~"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiMj8kBN5o
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWjZdIy4R
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPFKw0h7l
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpUBfpx48X
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqUUpNODfX
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H8cD4wMUT
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0yVgwNsKG
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSLy8YdJdo
Jello was completely taken aback.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxAJLdecTZ
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZyK81D4z
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35GAeqfokl
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Jn9ox54q
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibtoKFZM7
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtSGjY9UxU
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIji23AHHDy
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3MJbsd8HR
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmsPfLvdir
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVEowBv0KZ
Jello waved her hands frantically.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFXowpdcd2
Jello :
"I don't know what you mean by [redeem], but all I can do is sing.
However, everything will be gone tomorrow,
tears, sorrows, whatever, all those things will be transformed into the night's stars."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmW7JMQKQ
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKGrAaedCG
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nefFB86HF
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8vOBAiVHM
Jello said with a smile.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPMwIIXusM
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Tp7MrC5U
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsI9WPvgUP
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NKN1kA1o
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKep5BPai
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyesbFomvj
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuotRaq1lS
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD2qhjmh3C
