A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMmHXM0xCW
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDnZhEALwR
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cmfjhg9lA
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYiyWtA5L5
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu4frt40zf
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EHeIF5rQk
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pVkC0Q5AM
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOzX04PVM
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3iA7OfD91
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQjSV70pX5
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33xYbLkAG2
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9rZxjSntZ
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXbsmq7uYq
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..
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaciQAV7bwj
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd06ZktO89i
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH0jJFytEV
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIUGZzcsOA
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUxUGycgeM
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX1iOtvITB
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...
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgEvz2K0B1
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg08kpzKBnT
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpFKzzSsX0
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRo6NnkT5l
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlILGnROdCX
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbOFIAJvUW
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NsiwcZXyo
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPrn21VhL
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRK19f9gd
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk60WCT7Sc
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTcEREtgNG
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVdFPQClhV
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0h3A8igyB
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpo453B5DO
I said with my face beaming.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC0pvDuexm
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY8lYlHH6U
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaAv5eYues
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffUERFh9p
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vjo3DPnVB
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eBOUBo6LE
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."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEDWq7PWwQ
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFgvbgJdG1
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgKkEspa21
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNeerAYZZn
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclCVPZu9I7
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiaudYkHpX
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0DshD4kBi
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTOSpP1pgN
On the front of the envelope was my name.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsV9E9b0tS
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoKq4XyBs0
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfskSbNkIK
I opened it carefully.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWCqbcysdq
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS7hjoitgp
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClJYuseDPW
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tk8yMMw7y
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7fXFRlBW
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..
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7BH7yj6N
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVdDtDgEoD
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfrw42LKQs
"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?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6rXib0L2g
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvROx9TMu2O
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEEMyDB84I
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfcwGbBnKt
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdCGw4kMcf
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxEcVsVIXW
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmoIeoIl2M
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilWNeUNqB
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhz6rw1neV
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wLieUHgfB
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2bXhiujpM
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFLo1DFh4V
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOUJgvJCHA
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMVa5APbLr
A few days later, I received another letter.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hdXx0o1jO
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUMBho53b
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVqOQHHpxP
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnfNebteQt
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTV4e3NGeg
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUeiD8Klad
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmbFox66qL
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ibrlt08aE
Pudding : "Any good news?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvBo9PoxYl
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UDh1hmL7q
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwFGtjGDnU
Pudding said calmly.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEV4FXqc4d
Oh.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmQgxiTaY
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODzUQ3IUVU
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH1dCxgQoa
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNFZygThO7
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3mUEXWjt
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt4K1jMVW7
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn295H4045D
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVWPYzrR5K
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3s1ue0nUE
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3oCc9rE3J
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8NrS4DBkI
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKyMPP1hC
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoXAoiAIS2
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl5iP1pfRJ
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF8IAjoXdn
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9ug5piL7
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdeG56SxeC
After all, she talks about him so happily.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcsH4LamGn
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVB0LQZI3
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR4LvB9UEF
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvW3HvLtzX
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VQCaMcSei
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3DEwqkSbr
Jello : "Okay!"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV9HFZulf2
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrfshNpO9a
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydUEWgJ6sz
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT46jvZHJH
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreMqvUlFlL
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGTCtxBZgg
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cN1SrG5QN
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev35E3Whuz
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Fc12dLib
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPrhU9LaCI
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqMbcag8N5
Jello : "Uhm..."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lLq8ZJaE6
Pudding has always been like that.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC26WLLlf8
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ88OlvDpJ
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKF6ajrjp
Jello : "Okay...?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCPKaZgBz
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8To7voYD7L
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6tMPfO97U
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlwxh866n9
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89yHisCFc
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS65mwy4RW
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Ofr7kkPS
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvujTG7dKw1
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys2EAVUreP
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOyXH633zl
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY2ZnwRZ37
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzEv05oIPn
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyNy3mh0A1

"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZwyglgYb

488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikOk9Ca42u

Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUPMQedwTO
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDhVgtKOy
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MaDm4GX2Y
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZcdqpr9y5
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk2gVM09px
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0adiPFXnP
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt25uiFjPPP
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0FbUxGJ9h
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdggX5z7hK3
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7WvrnB4e
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jb1ZVrLc
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqLYzYsYyZ
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCtMRJ6zDT
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe1qMyS0Kb
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4jvEgAmKM
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrGWuqfJAl
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyPDxgCkI
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.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcGjrnZEQ
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUflZN83Qmh
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRMkSPSgSZ
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrmMYQrjL9
Child : "So it was you!~"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTXOmMiVQ6
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY17GlX4k8
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb1dZqWhLc
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zPYPO8mX
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCVMsQiPjN
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpdUbpaTxt
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpOGBeTrrm
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeQElb5soR
Jello was completely taken aback.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6bVW4CfmB
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwcdowAj1O
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgB5vJC767
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvvYk3dhmx
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GvPwuGZs5
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzE5jNxx1E
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq6UHAo0cS
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRFa3kVZm5
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM9uauXL69
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZfanT33Te
Jello waved her hands frantically.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnJkpkN809
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."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGYSsNhwhi
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8eMqVaYQ
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCC6EiQ8x0
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr28bpG668p
Jello said with a smile.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0cMSSkL20
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2iGx88eWo
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNR02D0x6a
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq89FRCQK5K
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcYpEBWHL
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArxFyGcHz4
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqdLfBbBhn
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
