A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYtBMNIJiZ
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJjO7qae4i
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmdkQtGtLl
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvO6kcD21A
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElxOBynSd
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6bLqC8io9
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ccstgbkj7
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ1fIf2KZ2
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuuTb0mCku
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3QeEDBmrU
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8O3xPpPgJ
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSLGWpmxlc
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnz6j4ODKG
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..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHx3PNdsFq
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDEvC2LaE
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyoSuBDO0t
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZpq9b5dH
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a2l8Ljg7D
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY5HCJNfrk
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...
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2HVhAeGD
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOrmTdhtki
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaECya5uP52
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgxRkR2u6l
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMESI3aQ7fR
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7gIiQUsep
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w5x5WpBxS
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLmf5un34n
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKZlc2aL9G
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkK9RiIZpU
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWsmXWBK0J
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hVGaNX28
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDSWAn7npE
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP976VuIfwS
I said with my face beaming.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7an9Q3MbI6
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7b8DLnhEA
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cGGl5oKvm
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMWFVeuXfy
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6aO9pALwm
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUAA9JKIDW
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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBmGFd3UP
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1BDKInI9l
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qgR6hPUu
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUpXxaAoSL
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ehEtg39R
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdVB6gamS4
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9DKjNrMOT
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTduM50dl4
On the front of the envelope was my name.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOt0Jmqp3
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4nZPycVmj
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmQAfbU9LL
I opened it carefully.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkQEwXojq7
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgyfpB9Onh
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKBK7dmwGQ
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSU7SqzsqL
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxhy3IVSAH
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..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTvyZAhvBI
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8XEo08psW
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3D1BKCBre
"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?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Sw7lvQsM
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hpoeq5sMv
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHUpuaUVk7
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmsOOKlmak
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sLB3CXUGH
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfEQOGGJ1g
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZV0wVNWQR
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl548at5IS2
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ED6py2REA
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZtlVYkyP
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfZ8JkIGxA
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlshZuiVUCs
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g7IeFzuIk
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjDXpjyXcJ
A few days later, I received another letter.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtirkgzHvx
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUH8mKKPk9
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvGpROcPsX
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVGRa7AxCV
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoSG1OYpvR
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhVTNF3Obk
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1hSu2ffo6
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OPSAkI7iN
Pudding : "Any good news?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71iSKeqUcw
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkppBpsgMHa
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PLmn5TjPr
Pudding said calmly.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05RRhvmusX
Oh.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWcquBW7Rz
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShT3Y6jHfe
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlLlCGDfxp
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFBX07brvx
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOnMmyH7n1
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGsksogibx
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGD0z1Jlap
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40T6E5QCh1
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtVzGjq7tN
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2hYHdLtNA
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnU6BAhB8i
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyeiKDBbrc
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RtLAqMmKV
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseTksuUXXk
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjluYjOqdq
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mNCHMXBm
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaq3TKderV
After all, she talks about him so happily.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSJjfCGFgT
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgenmk9f02
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6ULjPDjb
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad7xgWu3TP
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm2NcD29nA
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yiDEYoRiV
Jello : "Okay!"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpbaLh6skr
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNin7mSRPq
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwQZJ96vgi

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEAdV4qD1y
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkBoFXCuk
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3v0iIqZnv
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex7JN6k3qo
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4SofltEJC
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm1f9k6RfW
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSNEigpYVR
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV1iP4JkV9
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2RPpHc5T5
Jello : "Uhm..."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pk3j2RThK
Pudding has always been like that.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDaNZKg9J
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTshyPtxoAp
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubYH6xjlia
Jello : "Okay...?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJIFpfPEnB
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEdP3dGPM2
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikeQp4pqY
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YS8qzlnWf
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAc6R6Riiz
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9vkQ1JsCf
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZLH48AO3j
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1yqerlg12
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz7AhigQSa
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d35dap433
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ5BQuIWgQ
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKmAOwr3u2
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8aGgDuMyz
The stage would be all lit up next.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzOPCHnPdy
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!"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc3qFBXJev

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHkkTjBXP0

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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhysgYQAofQ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD6I0qM8zE
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY29ylaPqw
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj4tVXoIAY
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xtbHAzXFK
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yoq5av0kI
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrpWAb8wB5
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsG1pjZ3C6
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX55op9YLY
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34nhn0Sgqh
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggrOLWxtvo
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQdSsizhA
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiCTkAbu53
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ1QqS8kxF
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp4M33stZz
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LUNeb9SPc
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOphBsfMtM
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFKOg4PWi5
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdwWktCcBf
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGrnCKD5lR
Child : "So it was you!~"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFcKpEic5y
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDBILvisz6
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHnraD6Erg
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5M7XfWDM
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rfjgJmeDa
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QZzTxPZPC
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0juPVnIkR
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1doNhaQSJm
Jello was completely taken aback.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8zqcUQkGZ
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNnjtahZ0f
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr45mNCN5v
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWt7MRfDD2
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF9g4m9f89
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDOwUdRBZD
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GNf7Er0Fo
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgUIGDJBbX
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iSRCaiFzF
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHDIAhpIk
Jello waved her hands frantically.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLiNqVpxPm
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."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN31Mm8rhFO
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWnvgLMJ4
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7G0B1WnaC
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TmRf19f78
Jello said with a smile.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnksj43Gbsx
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpm7k1Xh8w
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzoc0pCiwZ
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8lT6GUjTk
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNCpDHBmuh
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3SsdpYJ5c
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupfSEd6oz4
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XbcoJoulq
