【Jello is a young girl with a lot of heart and vitality.】

【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】
469Please respect copyright.PENANAxuw1m5qCRm
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAylYnFWiEr4
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
469Please respect copyright.PENANATgA9TUax4Z
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAYvELHtPCAB
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA9900V7xVZU
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAiB99tVGRdV
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA4zQJu6WibI
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAizWTJmTLkq
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAGHPz9qH34v
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAZMXV2jNfYy
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAgiJVZmV6AU
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAbmPv7pKDV1
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA8GoqpH1SD9
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
469Please respect copyright.PENANApfbEwkrhN8
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..
469Please respect copyright.PENANA4nVmqu2RYU
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
469Please respect copyright.PENANARoghDqTNGr
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAHamZryVKAP
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAgBw5Ve8L0o
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAHOxt4pijDy
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAzWQuAnkk6e
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...
469Please respect copyright.PENANAXePKnBR9MK
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAjxaYEWm59l
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
469Please respect copyright.PENANABuwXL6DuVH
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAWZNCOltCQj
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAIxw3KLZbgS
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Yus8aaYw
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAfHdrkR4ybX
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAhBtPesouX6
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAbznBNf7TTA
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAV2McBmfAMn
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAFtYzAT2obl
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA8LOTX1vpsB
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5P2dtqbtKL
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA6k6CxOFJBg
I said with my face beaming.
469Please respect copyright.PENANArDDFaDkYJB
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAhflATYl2m9
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAsDGj5G4UI8
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAVN4nayYBMm
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA41I2nGI4i5
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAcsbKm6378S
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."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAubnzkUdk83
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAMfstPqx3TR
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA3E9a1Hvi6O
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA7xCJ84TnOJ
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
469Please respect copyright.PENANA4W6WOes9og
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAkNMQyOulw6
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAxXIsQebAZM
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA7XvguKBqV0
On the front of the envelope was my name.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA51NaAmM6ls
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAP6rabCjang
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAx5b7n8pshQ
I opened it carefully.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAulK7PxKinJ
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA7GQyE3SkjE
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAXYeCfKfFHb
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAqD5tVO1QB5
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA13vV2hRol8
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..
469Please respect copyright.PENANAjCTymVpAga
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAVXSs4R7CNd
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAMUlBxzvVc6
"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?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAbZWtAmqzNk
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAKDHq2uGDog
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAo9y7DtnbgP
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAf4rKVpPvGu
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAJNvgmLDKim
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAEzgKjWYXuO
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAE5quKHuypb
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAHc8ZsBSJOa
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
469Please respect copyright.PENANArKKYZ0ClJG
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAwFzPvFbRbX
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA29fxdfujJn
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ENHHJ6Bt
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA01EKpZUMEa
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAD3lAxXw79F
A few days later, I received another letter.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAl6lCYnYVFJ
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAMerS0bMaOy
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJR8rvUiH
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAJeNEl59k9N
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAN96tr3Ncvn
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAOfKqhhJe5x
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAtDvLBZPvzI
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAFDLfKL1TaH
Pudding : "Any good news?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAg7EVRcLWC9
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAp1Q7N2UDG0
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAdF0gCP8d3g
Pudding said calmly.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAOiOlexF9jP
Oh.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAFbcl2cpPH7
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAEIfPH5C4b8
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAwhrzP8AuSO
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAmzKeqi5NQ1
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAttbvu2uTjA
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAaFOLpJ8kGe
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAK5aTZAnsga
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yc66qDQI9
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAyqmexVMWSp
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5KCq0BW5Ej
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAlqID8tIPhJ
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAOCSSlmsoz4
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAXeIr7DytVX
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAcrgy5ReoBX
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
469Please respect copyright.PENANADYjFWk1pAL
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAejC6HTvIU4
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAn1MY7iFWP7
After all, she talks about him so happily.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAanTqQ4aVG3
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAknhGwYxs7b
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA6uOBg1BICp
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA09ll78ORCp
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5itjh9k6xS
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAK4ZAzj65Xl
Jello : "Okay!"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAkDyhI6e4PF
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
469Please respect copyright.PENANArpeQd8aZ5S
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAIsQjnInZCh

469Please respect copyright.PENANAnk2AmS70PG
Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
469Please respect copyright.PENANADuEPB5FLkw
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAFP2pBjbIgo
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAk7oubFzzqU
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAArqiVFmRwk
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
469Please respect copyright.PENANA8dM6DXQ9jn
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
469Please respect copyright.PENANA7YLIWSV1KB
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAED8EPBDVaF
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAbboNOc2Hp4
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAER05fnC1Et
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAcPg3rKybsH
Jello : "Uhm..."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAyGsLqYQOrt
Pudding has always been like that.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAORtcTHDjyb
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAvaiOUxC3xZ
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
469Please respect copyright.PENANABounUUfZJx
Jello : "Okay...?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANATUQfDntalo
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAy2U0ciz1Y2
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAKGNNY4keud
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAq4i4o0Ccsq
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAoY0YysTbVm
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
469Please respect copyright.PENANArX7QfdN6Bk
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

469Please respect copyright.PENANA5097mXPSEl
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAFkMAHywO9I
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAD6QwNQRBka
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAhUfXKZuniK
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAXsd64oMSIh
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
469Please respect copyright.PENANAJmBV3b13Ns
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAHnwJiR5EjS
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA0coWj34kim
The stage would be all lit up next.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAr1hvnWGsYi
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAbXy0OAvTf2
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAmmyDCqLPEW
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA3u9OavV4Hy
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA93gXqJlxSd
Lacy, can you hear it?
469Please respect copyright.PENANAGKvqGwO9KL
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAdEPxsfpF3T
So don't go to a lonely island alone.

(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.)
469Please respect copyright.PENANAnl7K4zCyYg
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
469Please respect copyright.PENANA8ii09RNdMT
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
469Please respect copyright.PENANAGVMmoTmHNM
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
469Please respect copyright.PENANAIEB3i3KQoD
A familiar song.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAmOSyLFCTiA
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
469Please respect copyright.PENANAWmjOOhdKhI
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA4wdWz4skYe
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAujDBsRoyxx
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAMjVgDzsIrW
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAafKdCgSMhN
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAGkMYXOfNJ0
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAthE2qxFoY0
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAVOvM5NDWPC
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAiUqcukofxl
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA4qQ83eNLip
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAPoCw2tYKaA
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAjU9eLmL1XW
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAHdDuPEz9Ne
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAwYGJQBJDfH
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAMzC2VD2mhf
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAhRo3hN7RVc
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAel2bzApvA9
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAVQNl1rFHBY
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5YqLKudVkC
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAO5UpJt0ar8
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.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAJv2k3fVnUP
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
469Please respect copyright.PENANAUJr1iiegmB
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAuIwokc3cHx
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAkQBsNvl8eR
Child : "So it was you!~"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAr76sysQ40E
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
469Please respect copyright.PENANASddSDFdqsX
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
469Please respect copyright.PENANAP2PdRyb1W6
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAkIPYLji8vo
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAkY4ceNWmqa
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
469Please respect copyright.PENANA3klwRHSlZb
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
469Please respect copyright.PENANABdrxbUH61V
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAzzCbiszIR7
Jello was completely taken aback.
469Please respect copyright.PENANANKtJrh8jt8
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
469Please respect copyright.PENANA1NQ3kqXSqT
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAu0arUKv35V
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAH7VepFGV4l
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAhVDhrLZMxT
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAXgHoQPgFHE
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
469Please respect copyright.PENANAiUy6heNJJK
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANArIrPhd3vCy
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
469Please respect copyright.PENANArVAMLOtIvj
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAOOFrPvGvXk
Jello waved her hands frantically.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAv5Tw7Gh1aN
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."
469Please respect copyright.PENANAbXVTp1Mg7k
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAAOhLbuaEUY
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAkf5gQEK8hS
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
469Please respect copyright.PENANAWBjZuOrGAN
Jello said with a smile.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA1ctI49v7KU
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
469Please respect copyright.PENANABClpaRfzmX
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5qcmeODqIC
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAesGeySrnrI
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
469Please respect copyright.PENANAKcMoscHioc
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5lJU4F1Z9M
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
469Please respect copyright.PENANA0dmxBb8ttu
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
469Please respect copyright.PENANAXgedoZPNbA
