A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUy3foWSBI
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioU1EpsHkF
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvyyPQxfSz
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6dSLa8zS0
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUMEGoZQ20
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xbWTEp5QI
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Yy21FiPN
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyBFTBseDG
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOFM09jkNk
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP5tbfI7ya
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r1etXBUwT
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rvd1ZQuvd
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuXoCQfPvx
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..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVbyNNyPL5
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hYtI56lw
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkjKZ4nVV4
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW48lbUb4Eq
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qjUlnWWFF
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutLcSpPvDF
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...
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sm31KLYOq
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwXmDFLu3c
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdZsLkOeEm
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSo75ETly
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXFIHugCEU
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRiB5QttFR
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhh2GG0JSX
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEu1kNFk70
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYGWpspYZO
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWCimU3mMl
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6KqxIQKPn
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qCsMif6ad
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kmssabtpJ
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRvYkWaJNZ
I said with my face beaming.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QKyW8tcOq
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIdqCxEKXM
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt0AXcQJ5M
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lct4oDkW
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCb9xOjeOB
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVDYKd5Eeu
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."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrwvof36jJ
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xhvf2jZeY
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk2EYq0QPw
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rNbWFFnFo
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ7HWlqfFW
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDIXGLUzb0
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH5asNDtwG
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LS0zKz6hE
On the front of the envelope was my name.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcinxDPfyX
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9q0CFfk7M
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOIZUjvLxh
I opened it carefully.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv6NJeiGgG
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVdDfZ2P8B
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM88nOoOzCi
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrLz01cXAU
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7C9QzZNnT
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..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRIM7TPMWV
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf6vf6tqF6
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lOuUtGNAI
"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?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmz1nmG6QC
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB4zbfMwI0
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xl8iacgbV
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqbT46ffY
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlXsNUEzU4
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5CUnMkVUq
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWK59QxPEo
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHnm17I3Av
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUxN2H4vck
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk2aRikRRM
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzTpJ5f5wM
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiYc4lmu0S
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v0iT3yBqA
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ZCsitpu6
A few days later, I received another letter.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wllTR1yH8
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF0sjtDeKY
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4aKVk5fyU
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BOnQKvqjk
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRAuiFZj9S
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Br2spcev
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBBRHxb6kx
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GtlK16ZnB
Pudding : "Any good news?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZkYjAxJYq
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUEyCAH0f1
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQzsWBkIAF
Pudding said calmly.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrd4vEDBHq
Oh.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mAYXzS5db
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjmvQs8Wvd
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EDf14JfSM
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQSRPoRWW
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNU4RNIuro
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzSEu9PVrm
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN1O95UrDL
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFdmrAhx88
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjSKhKALhq
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOBAlDHyFo
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkepuS1u0a
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB51LWVi7zf
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO15EiPKAQ
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kN730BnDW
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3UeIGi7bB
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AKnkGBZRS
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClz6Q38s7p
After all, she talks about him so happily.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0TtbiRB8
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadHdnCmNaB
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgrdwOjiNF
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKySqszdSHw
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHzbSfHLTP
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIAwMdAU2b
Jello : "Okay!"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4kJ7mFFeJ
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx6rnct3JF
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jdW8bg3cf

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kHNRr9LQh
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTakCtHzaXE
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJiwcaxor2
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8z3ZORv0
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuq4duHF0y
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBfMFQG8AA
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dstykdP2h
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYzEKlfYJ5
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON979HoEO0
Jello : "Uhm..."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrA0W5rGRR
Pudding has always been like that.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Zjs0gboc
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DDJYW6UXG
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ70pCehzj9
Jello : "Okay...?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE1gJpdVfK
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8v8S71GXJ
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1mIyTdPuo
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1c27tlGQy
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6dsAd4rrc
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmeCOxAPvZ
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8m96pCTlX
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnEzLPA1gG
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UEKC2lXya
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmD1xBCvyR
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58gLvfLQ4S
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABoGOHvBE6
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGK6g8OZYg
The stage would be all lit up next.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fvuUR8UYI
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!"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1GCekYK7p

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7i9yQRQzg

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGQtQc1ES5
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)

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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO8ym87WCu
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxaKw5nAmo
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWlwfYY7Fu
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLPpwfY78j
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRL1ZJsFVS
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcOR9BsEag
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmQ8VgvHJU
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4dDnZRRVa
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tyq00XUdu
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspVdGRWoDp
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbIZqueAR
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0aTKTGcGn
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV96evmdfq
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdObEgBKOBx
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHTbEkKdny
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOuD4d12KE
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.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O9U7xnlNT
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKIItc6fg2
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJJzu8VSWe
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqVvUWBwj9
Child : "So it was you!~"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYajlLZdRZf
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1c2NH4Sri
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Dc7Y0uql
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy0ASvphGO
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcTov2HAsf
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R7FrWRaiY
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11HCv36U0a
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCC1urR8WR
Jello was completely taken aback.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsoCovcZvS
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUzwpUHgsK
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRHqDsEwtI
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrnyGPSBQb
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9wSHZf2Pm
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA5kfK8Ehy
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoaAkKxFME
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr2gDSVTov
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KMiCRFP98
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RhlK1UR2n
Jello waved her hands frantically.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFASdIOFQy
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."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIZ72cvufk
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v9LUbyEW6
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7W3CwouMZ
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XfMGBqVB
Jello said with a smile.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8AlJRnA7x
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtalwpoj4n
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAPoR1uzUV
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yd9E4Hh7X
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxQyVY8iwc
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPSuT8nfWg
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vmO6JMOEU
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTkI49hShv
