A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTt3pk9k7Y
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibn9Z0e3N7
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIirIlGhah
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08faEkp2wN
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGYSrjAXOQ
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKi8wVRyfF
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiadl4PusZ9
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHLc58aNcJ
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYRhEN0KdN
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaTveEk3pA
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhP0JBgnm
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqePDNnbN5
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4XiZms9N
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..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBYKGttV10
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfkoV1bJgC
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh0oVAZpIt
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5QtD95v2h
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0IRfYcCHW
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WpQnU6j36
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...
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkIyGyTAYG
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxAg7YAZXD
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7UL9082dI
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LBdhILgS
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz29j4da1BD
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekjN98LrDa
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK11HRjAKgJ
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZiJASwiyK
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKS28dVqYo
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT4qmUVBUi
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgfDa4189D
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCqs63FisW
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLnlKXUmR9
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6UkNTlJTi
I said with my face beaming.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7OcbC4R0
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCki7jVnEG
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HCcKqygKI
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfzgH9zmHk
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF8ni8GPBO
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpXXwOjK54
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."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGtBLH5c03
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqLNKsIt7M
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqPeo0PTFV
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zERLIYDnl
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMNb0wMRl4
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE65AjngGuU
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIksXci5QPE
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbskekdWP7
On the front of the envelope was my name.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uUAa1b92C
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpCK5xuRDU
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8OOfx1QWQ
I opened it carefully.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSs1g4wv3s
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmGohC69PT
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUoYsV8gRH
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0SF0JvXt
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlevNBKroj
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..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW8GgAoQER
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpAkNBeO0
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNWcznXaBE
"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?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF86Evy7Ly
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpAHy1KUQj
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlvlGRdyFq
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m7qqgh38b
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdstQbOxHX
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGibUNK3H
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqZvvxdtBe
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eIVTRg5Im
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXLu6QsJGT
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnd6SMEea
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyFFNEMLWp
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVNviht9Be
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAXzRdycRJ
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjP5IiQJ2f
A few days later, I received another letter.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRo0XnylYJ
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hgFwDUqbc
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QsQXYU6f0
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsrKJ6Bzz
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzD3gLHds0
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ayMx4kmdE
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmnx4hnorm
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsYkr5jXO9
Pudding : "Any good news?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmpyaDSmAg
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAeLECj8Nk
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7zPUzba6t
Pudding said calmly.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaDfBTVlCM
Oh.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneLqMuBn6q
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YpyDilX7V
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUe2DOVnHg
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqoZeDkjrv
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77HCrIWX8r
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamfTfGpuMZ
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUP7K6BFQ2
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYgTRkSsK8
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kf8GENNM6
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE4YqMSJCW
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgaffjd09j
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HpOyOSMMN
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazf287WGQP
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTnzV0tNjn
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ATFArlqiU
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLYtlDVLJ1
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ytzylT5Kj
After all, she talks about him so happily.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt4RXKPXPB
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKZLyCk8LQ
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPl73YzipP
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NDXunWPfz
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxTLqEoSBV
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdy42Oc0yc
Jello : "Okay!"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwsUzpdSnh
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC6q8VU5KO
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?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBylAWfXb4w
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xFA7zM7n
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVT4KMLssZ
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYswza3cVD
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuRf7EuEqQ
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnV6W09mj7
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALEcnKGFA6
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Nu1VwKVT
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKSiBA14HH
Jello : "Uhm..."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3NF01rGU1
Pudding has always been like that.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qOXgGD1Tp
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tORqARrJQ
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwbsano9on

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEIq1B5KsM
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHyr0RnqFw
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvkDhonS59
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGe9FGgf8l
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXEfbZMFtg
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Djr8PCzWZ
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e2dwLW5xd
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUvy3VcS5J
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFLM592vER
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlFryLtar1
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pCP335sf0
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EmRtZqp5F
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4F8uXLqUF

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerezNwMDHU

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgUEAQDLjt

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

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQhGGK90E2
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YZvugJBNu
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXIliUirdC
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqI58K513V
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf5C966rze
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuKuathEfE
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNILhS7vFl
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEFm6iCHvh
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8EYZC9Mcw
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kGbrZJOe7
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYgznyPcwv
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OjZSFPbN9
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLNkWbQbkP
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfCwiH826b
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJls9fDth
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.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7D5VdXYki
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MKP5ELstP
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltv4aOlPyy
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpz2Lk1cwt
Child : "So it was you!~"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mLM7Dbbwv
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9js8yCLc3n
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCt40ZdHcy
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGazfAUeadH
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRnFvyomAw
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KsmRNk8J9
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLxbntfpS
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cIGkRmJlV
Jello was completely taken aback.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fCRle4nzJ
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdSoyaYC8p
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw77gI4kSt
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZX0QJwfG
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcHLtcTpqE
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjEcyxsQ6J
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjC2NnmOlO
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ025Cfmk12E
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihiDdDOPK9
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy21pOTULPk
Jello waved her hands frantically.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq5YZVlAB8
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."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAS1HDDyhr
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IOu3sxnX9
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0AQfhD24L
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpuGijn7oi
Jello said with a smile.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCAgfCeSNR
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQ2U0XMje
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirdf22QTKB
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS3F9BQqOU
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmo2sd8F2m
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBPGBqax95
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNIHIAJhKz
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9fwiqmLFO
