【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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wmcgnXniC
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAErDTLYg1r
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Jy8dbkco
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc7vGadAVv
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSx27lvth
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hQNE2atMW
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDsN9Z41v
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCE0SxwfDS
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXD4Jxcppu
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ONbUXUSq
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhTQ6kIvtE
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5hESDTpti
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEspcUQuSd
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..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuqk8oNmC5
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ioawGccwa
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsvujBYhUA
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2lHt1YC4z
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnZjgmbg6G
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQvXlALXg
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...
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6vC5d7SwG
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJqa8Fjosd
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tFY1JoNrg
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNU2nEFYj
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68KJWznvPz
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6lhKhGA7G
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1jFtDuHl
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWEXYwaIlx
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmA4M6VjI9
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeaVkggG5f
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSLyUsFnS4
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDgqn5orOH
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbbjwz8jsE
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5IUzbvFin
I said with my face beaming.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXLH5uNpc
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNy6LKieIC
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40cBJILSzL
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwLGOrNdPV
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGupnJdURt
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaC8b5vyvT
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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dCNu7kjb3
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRLsbD5fUF
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4t82CWQN2
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25M9SbnGDi
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjr4WjpBxK
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1DZv44HS3
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCWKQGur8r
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcp56czCbQ
On the front of the envelope was my name.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5ZZTx0MXX
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2kztgOIXq
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf56GUcjuE
I opened it carefully.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1MhX3YWTQ
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPgDPGgIcp
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHoDfweka3
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjbF2Ohu4y
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ciOZjGre
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..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBri01ikk3e
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Xpx3OiQr
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRXbPmjG4p
"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?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bmcbiWgK4
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcosWq94t8
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrQHxVED4X
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQdqt0IYN
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uuxulXh2e
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQhuIVmgd
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFoDZfLNn
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWouZ1133tM
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYBwfM7doF
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMvBro8YkD
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2o9lyQbVw
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ls29rdMj
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklZCHSMlMQ
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVqT8QOoBX
A few days later, I received another letter.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFAVmtQHMa
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmDwuhab6H
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiYQi9S9IJ
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm66ODYOs7
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1XnAovavz
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ0YxF5KST
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpau4uSPd1
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuc5K2bwp5
Pudding : "Any good news?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OljVPnQmb
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvfG5ttedN
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXhWVSFN4i
Pudding said calmly.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i4OXZqsFK
Oh.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NgX8d37RN
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ607CZPQysy
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkfvPlgF5J
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyPBscndzx
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz2EswtKoG
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rm4MwzxTR
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pPzVxQ0jA
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5jxXOIWB
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGSLoIAgtN
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGb3xU2fH
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ukJKYVxsd
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWiNA9AqPg
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW7n2uYuQi
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMWeWs4VQ
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjFYKCaSEO
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5NXLThqtw
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKY5xaXj9j
After all, she talks about him so happily.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpis1bflOl
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJNKl1un7M
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqA2uKzxHn
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSusJYChWwE
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSp8NPFG40
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUse9pRuLab
Jello : "Okay!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXQeBPpIlq
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcB1HHCGtE
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SSaq3NqEW

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBDqieavjx
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLF1PTkw4g
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxelSSPkCw
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpOooi0ZdS
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6roPCwsYx7
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXGFCjYPTn
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg3xtRzUEu
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR3KSw8k7g
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoL6nI85hH
Jello : "Uhm..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l8SJKXXkT
Pudding has always been like that.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahjF4nXQMM
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwXaD9Pefa
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVeFsLvkwI

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRwIBpZq3
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv7hJ3ODqC
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxycxcP9Mwa
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDlD4RaQdD
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfr1bTRF91
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO2c6NX3nt
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8PRWbYOia
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEWnwRaJFS
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK4qwRIFAD
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRVQiymShg
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgLp0trubL
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBN7zJTCzM
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JE3cLD4Lv
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzscVLn2mNg
The stage would be all lit up next.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8flWKEeAuz
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.

"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI1LiDpkbY

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVFRiu92uK

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlm1OO7EJk

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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8lQdqSnwB
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdTuEBEwZF
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeXSvU0Xq2
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwAgs6siz
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0otClWChTT
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo6GlaoF8l
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY5trvLqD5
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hc5Wgeetn
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8yLS3AqwV
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiAzhXo21A
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhSyHdVuT
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVKvVplnms
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Wm8XzlMt
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnj8KswJ4X
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR5uuZsRmE
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH3FBOfbDs
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4TRpNsaur
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLjrynLSdX
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdodbN0I9rJ
Child : "So it was you!~"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XriEvLZTy
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBn59JikKz
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv1mqOQIaw
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a2eBgTKnt
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKCniBoLgc
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz9n6YFtEu
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSpYJH8KWn
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulTseNxfJ5
Jello was completely taken aback.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcgcoLwGlN
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0hAMIQ3B
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEGEJm9bIz
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00DMjn3Gk4
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmmlQLHn7o
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hqffvuAc3
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahsrZDcL4q
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBzyUbhKS
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGqzxKFBIM
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSxiorG4AC
Jello waved her hands frantically.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLfzDHCLh
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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytI9VQzwox
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanydcTWGSV
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRVUTvigSf
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69cLMoE0Z
Jello said with a smile.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXzrZBL8tg
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbkQ5u1Jx8
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdxR3jysyK
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLlcGr3qpH
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQLXkk7XvC
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqTnSxQJE5
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kXKLHn7Bx
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkdxoOVJcp
【Jello - END】
