【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】

A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yK0KTsOhV
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl4OZiezjA
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m3sUkEa3P
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwhGUdCW5Z
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uL3tTbGsc
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1YLePuFte
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFeTJql6um
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCnKzUGhm
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kmFWOWFpb
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASeqFvmBkX
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLENhmpIS7p
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0dr2xtYmZ
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy16YSqQNy8
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..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WfegEAiQy
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ06oLM6jLP
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ2ib16HPE
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fQlcgOiQl
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlOORDM6JJ
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8qmt6emaI
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...
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNexRgJmk6x
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiju1gwMQp4
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm56PAK8nc
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3bVjMkqXN
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg2Pw2xqfa
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpcHoHysCY
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDjhdz8vQh
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8olk8qJUEC
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA3rke5ksI
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyMgai3YdW
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG35IvBzLd
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBosR7pgipN
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGdC8tFhRO
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgyzbiTuB1
I said with my face beaming.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY1lhodpbO
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx5Ro2Rpe0
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z28rflAVn
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u6SYXgB3j
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7fTZhmGyA
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5AUTvf9hg
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."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0Phl4PEb
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ051XjU0F07
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7liyjNWcr
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdZc837gY6
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiYCj571C3
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVUJCjybyL
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDHrJVZmTu
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGSFWDNEOJ
On the front of the envelope was my name.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULGZRzIJDF
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvNP70eKN
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOL3KAshtt
I opened it carefully.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu3eeJum1t
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS7GH4Utlz
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEZk7KOsL
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8qgNvpGW
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnkCRQaxE4
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..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExXYLQUtYF
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66j348zrBo
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLPPEO8vJm
"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?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3kZmLE3fH
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA21ONRle2c
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡineksflY7D
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yj2y8Q5od
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fjh4MJQH6
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ044OTNOd0D
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2YoEChTQ4
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DfsIxohGB
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8z7F9NHwU
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8c2plclcb
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdijprKJLv
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eubpXp7F9
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOL3pXKi9c
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi43VGzcyN
A few days later, I received another letter.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvcABiMYv
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptL5aDBdvh
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPCmlseUGu
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9tANEpO3
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NxXvqmuCB
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXETihNEcn2
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnlFM0FqbG
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcxcC4MRa4
Pudding : "Any good news?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOI2vkSxY0
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjvdFyBB13
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtXd8ix4Mu
Pudding said calmly.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojl5Ok3NY0
Oh.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz3jrta5Zo
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrIFX9gI0W
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxg63iU7R7
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUZrlC8XXw
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD3eWkcKM4
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GqVxRggeC
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwgWt4b52J
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o5FyKcp7w
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV61zSIZ3da
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdxo17HirQ
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dS6jv8liB
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidPTO2n3b
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsdl49rrex
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHNUSXWgwj
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrZ0B8Iu8x
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwkIAcveaT
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIo9IisTtj
After all, she talks about him so happily.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uVP9nMNZY
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF6s4qngW6
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsPhllhAbz
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjOWRNsBUQ
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U1HuURc0V
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBVFRJkweO
Jello : "Okay!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8r0CcUy3b
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzEaMiB3qo
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EEJLaq3pm

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTXZirc0HD
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SwEoDYrJc
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq8dEPz77t
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Cz2UMNTL
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4o2f4u8Y
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF3ljU8orc
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxAgATzvz6
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5lg34nQF5
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AwToEslUW
Jello : "Uhm..."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZSETAf65c
Pudding has always been like that.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaBFKVsX17
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p8fxfwGir
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6zvCUHCa
Jello : "Okay...?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cnFOj1iqL
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJimJucJfZP
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xSyVpIuM3
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RElGM7bV0
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61aAonw7MB
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFpk6HY4o8
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MlxhL0ES9
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7miiqEInE
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP24WWBtfm
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45KHVjJzhY
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHBZ2LF8s
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsC0bx7yB6
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt9Dk1tAuK
The stage would be all lit up next.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqkXQVaOsH
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!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSfwJXcvfJ

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoarJbemVCs

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

Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatj6Bk60D4
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUZRI5S8vS
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR0shJkJnX
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhSFgbybNV
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOxVvH6dGy
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9drJOfPLXs
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YwuyVPK06
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXEmu7XocM
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGqSGaxZUz
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjHNv7LEzV
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN22c0ntGX
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWrzedTONh
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2PaVZC8EC
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCymDgrXSdY
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZENZohOPm
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNiDSgpCor
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaS8Hs4ksO
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyOodoyzA
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gk9RSXC9W
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4dYaiN4sv
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zler4fPqS
Child : "So it was you!~"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdj31Ovubj
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX8MfAyqOs
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRYSmbOZft
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrzqd2pwVZ
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN2OZDLIzq
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTxr3NY9FX
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjt0is8rZF
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyJVtrm4gP
Jello was completely taken aback.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP2vnenfXM
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Hzgf2Obf
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ewCLYIrE
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQDLc4V44d
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iy8aetxQX
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5isxo4NSSj
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrdve4Hd50
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuVtcwM3Nx
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVb3pZZs68
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O5iUWLmJp
Jello waved her hands frantically.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr2EXgSRbM
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."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P2wAdRla5
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumW44HHZhw
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoPp2DHMQv
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBXYleDYoC
Jello said with a smile.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrHKo7Wtki
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tgGbQwK48
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHcrDLHMGw
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fxi6BmsqH
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE8seuZrMw
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb2s2tEIpr
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfAPiMRQfZ
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdoqRpY9f
【Jello - END】
