A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNVUnqBD9c
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5BCIYs10V
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMM1suvf3a
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1eN8wJS25
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j0tivCPXo
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRsvu32is1
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP1o80khZW
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCMT0VqQMz
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQIGwWUE5
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AJJu3PTWT
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOowivmrFQ
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirbDZXXOOL
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcZvDGhGB7
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..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFi5UrgzuO
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q1b8R34EA
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovdLA0Nl6z
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnC3yi0r7s
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HIhInAV65
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjgjP6HZlI
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...
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR5cu1YzYo
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6LLMKJQiE
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcbm6m1cLM
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIdpIK8VDZ
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7JUs2QgQa
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjJ2z74D3X
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PXONNbiar
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzi912SoRu
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhWxGwJVl
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiwjp9oKbk
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX2Ew0WRoZ
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRzKvtcTVC
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1tZTuN1s
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eilCf7l5B
I said with my face beaming.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPbi9KTG5
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2EYOHod9c
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPIgEcICbZ
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVRAYvJP3p
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm281LtBJ0G
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUwRjSBs1d
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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanQAT9SktV
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y4CDSxTWd
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsGxAkxfLw
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg2jn2FO82
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifQu4Pazj
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebROGZcJF
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLRes48QB4
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgPYvdpeIq
On the front of the envelope was my name.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPd3b1zyf8
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB586AMSL7
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgw9V5CdzW
I opened it carefully.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Quj5QG9X8
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpoGmClekS
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d21K3bMa4
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxqDLRlrKp
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHGTq9ms5E
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..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65sohRXOap
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjvBYQB1RC
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UqH2qjjrv
"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?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgR6Dcij9P
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsZRooX05T
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBi3lwWhQS
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6nSaQ3HOn
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSi9pL3vtX
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec4MhPHq8T
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhPvrN1Ux1
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNIrwYTmCP
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku7kMAco9V
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeViasNlQFi
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIwPFF3MNf
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qh8R5q0Bp
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjf80CxQ6Y
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sAxjoUaxa
A few days later, I received another letter.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0FlTRVMkn
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3qcAaoyFA
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eMuzpgcsI
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOHQx12Cjm
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoVHp7s5hY
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWuzwLyYL
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHgd8fqMd6
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6hmMAuhCh
Pudding : "Any good news?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZjS1LSMAs
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR1sHSzChf
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrDQUJjkgz
Pudding said calmly.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPLWOdzrt9
Oh.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCCMF0tGCU
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2OfKn4EIq
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHqDDiF56c
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7QFSgSUMV
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqZRnDV5M
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3EwbmEbbx
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh9GC0wovn
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8h5fP3yF5
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hverD4OY9
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGCst8P7CW
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SdjI9HWVI
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D4gCB9vbR
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrGwDq4NpU
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeN1YQFDC4
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXQN3c9fK
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgDRazUMnt
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRXT2MDezA
After all, she talks about him so happily.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08zy3wUdXf
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg19uE2WU6G
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbZB2npNtR
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlODJSL1DQK
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz2CNoQ7li
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfPQZyKF5S
Jello : "Okay!"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlATEa8jKo
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28KCNh7kz9
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKmNAqIEEW

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZVoqaaAp6
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4bcvEoYFn
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9b9i2veVw
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb9kLf9ESC
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrwq6b4LxG
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4L60C22kR
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SfP7Aa9T
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxRGhIf24z
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtUf50kMAU
Jello : "Uhm..."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6oZcIyHGa
Pudding has always been like that.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrcw3Wp9T9
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziiO8WYFy2
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBuflUOvZe
Jello : "Okay...?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlICjcbfXO
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LybxgPxS7
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXhjwqtcMe
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaNYY5D2WQ
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFismSl9tJ
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXRLxKHX6e
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrKYhfj888
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnCgDLczqf
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej42A4e8ng
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDZvsqI12o
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH6BL5qSaZ
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jCQ5OLxM1
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RNJOGSces
The stage would be all lit up next.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMolbkt0G8A
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlVLJgNDk

"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR6NavjpjZ

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFkuCmIhn7
Lacy, can you hear it?
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdvpn9oXQ3

(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)

Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ueoU9urR
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoOEy77dz2
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KaEppZXAj
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ZtnYdLl5
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XwBgJLR5f
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey802EXUuj
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn4nggnrSo
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGggdO8VJ4s
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkgl2BzdX7
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6RrckJFgy
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKGYeuAmyI
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWDmm4YZsc
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8ouYhS3Y
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgTvbwNbcI
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbTGdJh960
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXUqcPv9e
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDlwlV9fpq
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntoVoYI66x
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5hNXKqMLM
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGDlamg6Xd
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1bSxh8Du5
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhT7OzwM2B
Child : "So it was you!~"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGipj0gIqQ
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyLTjx65PC
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUQdZfwouh
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCajecZ6OEy
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYj2sopPPr
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB6ot6kh1g
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGP5JNkntH
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFql48E7LQ
Jello was completely taken aback.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZ0L3ol8o
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA8V5Hr1gH
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5AgApFp8T
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMvWergc6w
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqAY7CeU9p
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi7B9lefYG
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRCXp00bc
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqt3WFypWY
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7cFY0UwoW
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxdxM5lZzm
Jello waved her hands frantically.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtvd1OJZDD
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."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gzxnlD0nK
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuZ7wMQY9q
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaPAk54Ppx
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WVwdT2zfb
Jello said with a smile.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwEZZ9t3J
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8nsefdozJ
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ht7kZzakW
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCjpEwvRcf
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4weVVC0WGv
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZRpa2wh4u
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmJKpI9AK
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPWKmnGphg
