A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWFlzLekb
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2Zsplkpd
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mTrXSM0hw
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwWTwej4XW
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebPQpH49yZ
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjNKf32Clp
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarofqKrRn
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmmgHCWyzO
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIv57vqZeZ
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMO4bfKxsj
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1kuIYPimR
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeB3nIheyd
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdWR0cvdj8
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..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90pCrLBg1e
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W3HdASvLk
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmR8OE5vmB
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMabQglJk1H
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKaYJKW0aV
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9hoIJAo5
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...
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Djb9hQC6
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZSSZiteR
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedzilsLdWN
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ifz8Riqy
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYbsysVtVr
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfqATOJ95o
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PW7ncTS4F
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAUEV5FabI
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaxMflMWFK
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhTpZ9IQHE
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0mUSoME0J
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyFLZwF7Dy
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYDS2zxoRe
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTLXfWjAe
I said with my face beaming.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gITOYe42I
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIlzWuvWS0
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpvvW66OiZ
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNctX4Q74r1
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTBYaL9K6p
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlA3kmZ4MU
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."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QebtRRE2s
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRfzgRce4B
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3bvL4TRfa
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SbbMp6Ceb
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRIDa0ztJ
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NmYdrEJPa
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd14Vldlxb
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7wwzP5kGO
On the front of the envelope was my name.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcXJcNyNXt
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKviHyrxi1L
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN9RPOF5Fb
I opened it carefully.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxdkp6KlAL
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5DBh4VCbe
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrf9qyeSba
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEcRQxTjxg
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRgCdWEpy9
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..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNlnSdTj3d
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpOcMhoEim
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvVH6aY29k
"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?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamoMMslWUZ
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc89N5UlHDo
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Gy9qGhsS
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVVKQPIeue
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQpaV2nwT
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKC3u32vyi
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlER9TsNwK
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FcTYffKDi
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhsCF3cU7N
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27U4Mcfkug
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaUtTknMrF
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkui4k6UggO
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBZP0zaCkv
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1sshy52NV
A few days later, I received another letter.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6AO08dHBy
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS5T1uKZPS
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0nO9vnjLM
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJJJGPJMZQ
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZLqQRUXqA
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXlwhyYSdT
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFGVvJ5TZn
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMCJS7uFdL
Pudding : "Any good news?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ntzZFE6J2
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumnAIZai30
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqImVJUXt
Pudding said calmly.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqxpOVMmu
Oh.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqKUDIpuWp
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPPKjoWzL4
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKL7DJg1EM
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTszqXdMFzM
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ691qvGkBa6
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBpKvwzZMB
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnbsFuzo7f
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOoSwuPCgs
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiF2G0Qio8
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92n2Wso9TC
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyvMIoZeWz
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCM0uH0XL
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ9hfIIEHL
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw3Cyjo9PL
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qMY8bkNXb
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VVA4ZRWsC
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrzrAKoANm
After all, she talks about him so happily.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj9XiWMGvx
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDsRdCvtNq
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw59dTBr2rx
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46JS2PAaKv
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmBug55Vy9
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoqjkhWrac
Jello : "Okay!"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFl46wrDvU
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADu7CnVtWj
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYDnbqHyJ1

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4izIilRFI6
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9DtMPVQ8n
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3VVe2cBKW
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOsOXaUJvR
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePsfT8pjqw
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fAij4Clmm
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8apzZlzxMH
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c1aabSScX
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9nKreZiTd
Jello : "Uhm..."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTzTjjU4gD
Pudding has always been like that.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUVsPtkSv3
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMYeva6ubG
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSTkAzcMsD
Jello : "Okay...?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3B0aqRobe
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDJ9w2MlkX
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rRXPdL3Na
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpC7E7zCOJ
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyE9KoyGGQ
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1z9J3pxb
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWMi6gPSG
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTGP0TB20t
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IZyBL7aAD
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90uhdXn3qs
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafKB4ERjZs
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ8GrhyNoi
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIHxC7jcH
The stage would be all lit up next.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZXs02UCdp
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!"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyiDBhLds6

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGauuwz9TW
Lacy, can you hear it?
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahEG7k3jA0

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfTpyhaZjb
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrLGPr72f9
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzPe4NjXiZ
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYahLdLDys
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ9viNiqwF
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM6PWgPHeq
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK9bx0p6S4
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3IirMGyVD
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOTa35IgA2
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSLHeAepo8
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLwseZhrV5
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbxK9dbkX
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3aCsOoVTw
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7ZmpctGx
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U2hNezVwA
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kG7RfU0jz
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pyYrcc5sq
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4irA8rTyr
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiML9y6qs9
Child : "So it was you!~"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oOWCJzxOi
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnykQ29HxW
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4Fm5IOUh
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjxHo3XO3r
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7FviSq9KI
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbET6b3C0ge
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxb9JPN490
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaovSpo5GKo
Jello was completely taken aback.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGknYNfrbO
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU28Z0mty3C
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrt88o9OeA
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmytVMjcNjL
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs5M12CZer
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RlBRqCCpP
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKrlP2YT8
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDZSplu033
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6bBRlAeXj
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97lo2Dm5W8
Jello waved her hands frantically.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kLNqNOtBC
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."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YUZvUJu52
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwI0LjPHqj
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjaensPKww
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PwJ9WiMX
Jello said with a smile.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJALiyvS8Fr
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLeF43wjGz
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv4so2RBAl
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcRYErVfjR
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3lFww2Gj6
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFdFwYKW7J
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWIeHvMwOS
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhXLvBF4Ow
