A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdACmBQhs9G
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKHuFNHHeL
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQdjB8j9kl
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt9RgzF0y3
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW7brUhU8X
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28s0Zun6Gq
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GS01zUnto
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvzM1ONy39
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ75cIAK43l
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHYYBnPC7R
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljPXLDpOGq
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5otqY1Iz
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC7lQViux9
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..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebkRNpUxbQ
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGVI5NL7Ch
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kjUSELvd
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv8odlGvSE
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5Zyf84qV
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZcFLSM4H
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...
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahrrFBnkJ
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7Vkeowuq
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKXKh6sDHC
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN5xArugyB
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uxwy81VaJ
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPlQ3Aaues
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuMtrv03rx
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWqi5fyRs9
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4r8POMtFC
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDuwbxJSO8
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9NzQdL5zh
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZTXxvV2bu
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUbPiX3HYU
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHMaVkSal5
I said with my face beaming.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuas8ya0nPu
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7e1Qtkxes
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoiGATUdrF
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtUZvInW8l
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjZjWgKNQP
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pIdTjYz9F
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."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fkeW9pB11
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf4Ol0awL2
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKT5u3i8TE
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfXMiW0KTy
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY2vDUDiYP
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUnSNr0n6a
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzhhmQLbiT
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM7Eeg7qdg
On the front of the envelope was my name.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zw9HeAfi0
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrG3KblVZg
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9F8hTzk8r
I opened it carefully.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCtNrwFoGZ
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgKIJ9xwFr
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOmnDNk2q
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrusnxCwcz
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHAoZp3o1d
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..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm7ZLGmQQE
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgIzULVyBJ
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwfavh1Rbn
"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?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvlsK2J2j6
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3r5PG7qZ1
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5vuxYZXk3
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BjsjcyS2q
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7dCzEoni
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJv2Q19uED
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC6lkgdNAg
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QLAD0Mwuf
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoICvyE4v0w
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI2pwFHjBk
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDhm8syrZf
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHfLQ7Zisf
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt6uQgue2I
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OBVo2ovjA
A few days later, I received another letter.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91CHwknEWy
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3syfZ50iB
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv2T5KedMq
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHcd3cGW1B
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRQQ8Ujt8A
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc8ypJY4UM
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JfmPghnZt
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuKwKThYwq
Pudding : "Any good news?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9JdZ9Nte
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDgllKO3F
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ7fWwNZ34
Pudding said calmly.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3S0MYSQ9
Oh.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd6kCdL3B0
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYMYlGS9VE
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD39L6ufS4
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOxXEHhrW6
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelvc6TtwjA
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QcJ07Jivj
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacRGfQEEv
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSsuffPCC6
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwgPoIplKH
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ8Xrbqc4l
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbozed3scot
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOlDFFkln
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgoo9FOEpI
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEstpRNOpD
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODWOmQeOA
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhE3fij6O
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEUk6zJZj0
After all, she talks about him so happily.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRkhHhHJmB
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvxDthGoj9
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQPvrrJxN
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD738R3Buzw
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3YdvSqiyv
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUedImKakJ
Jello : "Okay!"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqPn7OIAfL
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X5SWbLNZ3
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?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62v8Pf84f7
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6reGXpDrc
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa5iKfSxGP
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhGqL5iHTa
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGGYdGnYBn
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1h72v8Zc
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHBFIENok
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy33dnR5IZg
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA51yiNaV7
Jello : "Uhm..."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZaoEWOFm5
Pudding has always been like that.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgPdnUdo9k
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPMyy8BJCp
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwlyVxmDV

522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4gx9UJmX1
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbS9aq0t1
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMDy1xycWV
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGWcTM4J6R
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5afNESnr7A
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoZPU3PMb8
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE8g3PT85J
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZrwip28DN
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwkPjkoeVE
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPRE2kCZbn
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ2nvNc4JB
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zGksQfcSu
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaXAmYLZbH
The stage would be all lit up next.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByDTGA3Guv
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.

522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymVBoefRHr

522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBgnSRAenV
Lacy, can you hear it?

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE8XUH0EPE
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltMQzlCnmv
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIolZoZxYOQ
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.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ik0DsAwYe
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveeGy1Zwmi
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u5NTNnWzV
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8LgnJU1pC
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYqdEFc220
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv9pDT57I9
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi5eCsia2K
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtIXzbMEb9
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthRiIBmJN6
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyf3QCUySY
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFo43UVn1S
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXUHUGazU
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.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK4bdN8nJf
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0ZPiT1XUK
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ELRLfsC54
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9tF92r1D5
Child : "So it was you!~"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7ntxsEF5
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjBOOnsZdS
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAQD4Oxb1
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYdvmJPcWd
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qu5M3icpQ
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroTCi9Bwkn
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xasBEcyrR
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KOSkXG5U6
Jello was completely taken aback.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fa4gFrX5p
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN0Xa96pRB
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIyYXVnQRy
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaPSIOqn8a
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJfmdyTWFa
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKSNmnRmiS
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHKukXMq3o
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUeiA8AWN
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvRxZmUWnw
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9phZVSj5I
Jello waved her hands frantically.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEJhVaS4BI
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."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGoDyiP4hh
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhIs8pF3lI
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mQQ8RPct5
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUU78yQcHZ
Jello said with a smile.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDQzlQsXw
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvxK3N3Tl7
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMxgM2OU7P
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ulhkMcbK
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGTZuDw6lq
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQUoeGYog
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0soY26h5j
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0XFtCtEZ
