【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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGMLrsgmw
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvKmJJXn6G
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjnlcyXYRE
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYboigc9QB
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGgQEMCnb
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJw9WqN6cp
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu74EuNmDC
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt67xvVJPt
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrC3LiDhmy
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFQsOhBO7h
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsCLKmdJx8
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEfbgCPdCl
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Th5t6FPbO
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..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOj4vSexpg
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFeQIvfWOU
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtlF9SXMuP
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIl7R4sZ1s
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMixRvu0Ag
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasAV6GAPOX
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...
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0qOQhhPx
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJle2BkQcd
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxlqPXh2Sp
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vn5WaLU0G
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN8WoCdDPQ
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUHnOWJRYi
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7pZGJ83pV
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQZRkcrBAs
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLEdc6vbRm
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnVXYLwqSR
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXnmJSFJ3l
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKlGnh8j3O
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXttcVkD7XO
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQT4mI2GyR
I said with my face beaming.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9w9YI3jxi
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS2p9k7QBZ
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnbBejpRGe
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ieWCJJzOR
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFoBXTF9ps
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfuctsxqvm
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."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqXwqcJxPN
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACBMHyyUs8
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrFnvSFII
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50dn1a1yUR
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43SNVfgrJn
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOUNI0ofLF
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmLWmPsNWg
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXEznrjVVi
On the front of the envelope was my name.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKkZixFpwR
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ajpof03RM
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l54YCjF7L
I opened it carefully.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZAZoJZbK
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8oJ0BhuH
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4S0LRm3XG
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNhs7r7fAr
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5M6yvUvyO
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..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tHBbopeGF
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MnH7cR0Bi
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW4L6Ky2cY
"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?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLW8lYR2i1
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQULCp9D5NT
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkFP0gh5XY
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkPnYKGNcd
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtTcRk1ukG
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLAo4lWNPO
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DCjwqT0BR
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDGY1FYZQW
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWkjssN6OQ
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX1NTicWq7
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pnEzu4iS9
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnybMvMHM4
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2HsC2BkFV
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKPYdNCqIF
A few days later, I received another letter.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OievM6dZD
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH8eKoUDDp
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIFlZ1tklX
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY9M79Zgim
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwDxrY7rYF
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtjMSoxFJ0
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD07tyFuNkz
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOhpR8KqqV
Pudding : "Any good news?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EEE721iJl
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNau9Hx3iq
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSETnkkbNuy
Pudding said calmly.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirg8mkZKuf
Oh.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRYjal1HLG
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH4MZ2RCHx
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijkWnxITaU
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMEVYen5Qk
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86c0PkSsv2
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0cloCp5u2
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG1CUi8yOG
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiHh2oxZcU
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AVf7KIwAY
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOL5B9LDn5
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sEWMNPGj
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jHlIdEnvm
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltbc70Etig
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcqra8c4Nz
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BUIgSIzWy
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzKmyprCMn
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHuKqnWSoh
After all, she talks about him so happily.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVEN37qJmY
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB2mJDjvRq
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmppaTYHA
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaBwgWn2ta
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs1qGZgr9i
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HkaBqovxD
Jello : "Okay!"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPe5Lly3pm
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TwWe0Loi
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPPMvp92dg

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ohIFzaWcw
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEhO8Agikd
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp4cbY16KW
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj128ne1vja
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjEjohLOdL
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuX9DmM3ho
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeJMdvAZyS
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuVWCKgkKW
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwua6c6fv2Z
Jello : "Uhm..."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5npWUsVyu
Pudding has always been like that.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsORbwuxtL9
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicJas9BkWm
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30TZrLHEYj
Jello : "Okay...?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vRUJrN9Av
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYzrcCVMe
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZvZhfmPmR
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9QtfVWoTB
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBLM0lcDWs
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0nDvP7ydx
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTtQdU3wp6
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPPpH8xxb
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03CS1m4bP9
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH6OhzChD3
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92ur7iVmu
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EEGpBPuy2
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx5GA7g9VX
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRpDaedxI
The stage would be all lit up next.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILNDewzX2H
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOAopXcWai

"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhy4uufiYf

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeliKdqKL7y
Lacy, can you hear it?
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrjI5Hwj7Z

(In the darkness surrounding the stage, waves of yellow and green lightsticks pulsated to the rhythm of the words and the music, twinkling like a sea of stars.)
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7zPTEdsPW
(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?
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uYR1Is73a
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCPgbA4hqY
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzhgxRcfir
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h3fMFknI6
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ71mJd7N5
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkVsWb6tzA
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL4dUmxjwQ
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFr1whj7mN
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z4Idxwlro
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbWkBXMtsV
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjPSDelEXv
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OAKXRUdUD
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1aV9DiZ4f
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ049krO4ThK
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9C8UNXJJ
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkO2NGDsvi
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA4jaC01aD
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys7dnLyW9A
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.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgavQsRZ0Y4
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6tt2jl7ck
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRrmvULEz
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8kryarhQe
Child : "So it was you!~"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSnnihND6h
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBgJ5iOzvH
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8a6ab2FgH
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mcaz7UdKg
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1DIQwyFg2
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyhOM8PYo5
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeaYsbjcYM
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi4VYidT5N
Jello was completely taken aback.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsxNPj3gk4
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFP53BF3Nq
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAlq0ZPrBs
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQyjb9j07X
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsXETAaVym
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9SVnUmNOd
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkz73c8w8G
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9F1ExTLbL
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTAMlBImGK
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTRbvLpYdw
Jello waved her hands frantically.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlu8GoPYGC
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."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BryWXR6Xp
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRzIBoGnxT
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyhZHq9ir
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB13svHgI0
Jello said with a smile.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBLU71hPgB
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6yVsgEq6
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVglunxKHi
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKsntRZ22T
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJFf8CDqg5
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKftUneRll
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFYeNBl1j4
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53PnwA4PjB
