A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrqEOBmUSt
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIzCBl7crG
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGB8Hyduln
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3eUfoFsVw
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxPpWfKfb1
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH8c7X3Rrf
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe8anU0jeD
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd8dTHPPUW
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjafzmCy7bk
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0spbZHhph
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJdoqwZ57V
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMEvnTwwS
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FyVy7KfUy
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..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd53HgokljR
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qIKrGMBHQ
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbVcOj4HEs
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpAR1jYQ7v
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSzVzSpqVU
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOs0jWC249
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...
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0oMYtEwRc
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ei27x6p8n
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzrbKAkolC
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI0pjO1ZkS
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VqO17BHa2
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIWyK1UAg8
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyMtL7Pt99
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDpUIl1Heb
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZzEWgYB1e
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0nE9KPXFT
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz0zuKPPcT
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStJsOhWQcg
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0wL6Cz2Z4
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoEACcCh5x
I said with my face beaming.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo6Y2hskon
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtndYnAH9gG
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZJw6blrq
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEGF2E2ptb
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSq0VcUsRG
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj8FYL2aZn
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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fUTdwlnC
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9JFJDHOOD
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQF2VGQUz5
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4TUVOGZGZ
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErNPXtCIUr
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2eTLjzPc8
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiX1N4o9O2
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3SEAUnJjv
On the front of the envelope was my name.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyWk507GcC
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMguRHcejRT
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyFhbyVyHk
I opened it carefully.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTwtbn2LbW
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVjE1s2HOD
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKux3affmfg
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1gmcHesFM
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKiQPKev6
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..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZge2hs36qd
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6t75RzL8E
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZH2eo2nSy
"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?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF8I7yvqAT
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCzlI2pSL
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv7J64GkCJ
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQkDrWJQnZ
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS9JOYTp7d
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjY9CQJ2A
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZDPt7tD8Y
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcI2W4VkIY
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CFyvcxtAw
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrGZugiAG3
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3tIRtFKmH
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU1xCSM9OV
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiAHtboHkf
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUG2Y2l9t
A few days later, I received another letter.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MkkMrICli
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUiXxQecir
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZZamppAX
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pxQratlzA
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiT3kmGbW5
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8WNe8KkhA
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3Byqg6zP
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7CyQo8F9j
Pudding : "Any good news?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhko1S46rWI
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80DgACYQNS
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9FWGJwclh
Pudding said calmly.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfRRwGhdPh
Oh.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pw0s5bcmg
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fMTO2JLoj
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s7hssRXp0
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa749uKskZW
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6t9D1ntvX
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p0OtgPKtK
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQar4Aiv4J
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKnepkT9UC
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lfSlNTnLH
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGXvj5su1a
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3OccbUCxX
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw72DiGLz6
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRuGDAX9sr
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXiqmCQfcH
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JBLMdbmol
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFo8g0ytUw
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCXUoj8K1C
After all, she talks about him so happily.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIm9cg9v10
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyAcXBsqrc
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6DCf6mWYt
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZEl18My4
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh7hQ47ysS
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHkL0IBLFF
Jello : "Okay!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1xzVDwFzU
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uF7bCdWrr
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?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3pFLfSEHy
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRa0Xm7VIT
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVMuUNqEG
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NmL3uleVx
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0y4xM7I38
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDj4MPWv0g
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0PlJ89PrB
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OGIvdqDhb
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK7hgHSARD
Jello : "Uhm..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnbvFoJNmr
Pudding has always been like that.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO88zQB2Df
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS3159xBas
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9zJR3LGkB

508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3rGwoX9e9
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQRvjVDiU
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgsigchuST
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT6AAQgr5i
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ru0oxWjv7
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBDrkagVji
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ7jf2l361
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyvVjXy40b
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjowv3tqGoN
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSGjLqRlN2
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Acw6BADA
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Yk23ELpr
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0IUCwbNA2

508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsxdvbNeUv

508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjAbPuQr05

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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXTK4N2EI3
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Irb0uKI7
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF6MxQVk4O
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx4aonx9TN
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrTjtFIxci
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxbI6Hs639
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA0RSC5P9D
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibmghQLGo8
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGRCM2K9od
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASmdVgVbTH
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelVfvlT3mG
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjQC2k0p2A
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQEKip9DJl
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG5woapuXn
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkc42o9CMK
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWlV1kzs40
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEnc9YJ9iG
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0i7MawAzH
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0vrRj9Is
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4IVQdQ2xG
Child : "So it was you!~"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Q20q2mqs
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWFKbzZYb1
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2WVHXVEkE
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtakWdVv0h
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94X5wqLgzL
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5lqF3A81Q
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKSvtqUta2
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQboJo9FYbF
Jello was completely taken aback.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIXm9KJzH
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPVduwq50I
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8OdWbEHAH
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqXM3nCmTG
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UxrnpUoYj
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet2GuDSDyP
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7rqzMrsP6
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp9hUNIzCY
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspcNCizWlp
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i15YG9H2S
Jello waved her hands frantically.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmP1SddSaH
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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp9awjVyoJ
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx6YvawhsS
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3BR4xyqm5
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL68bvd2aR
Jello said with a smile.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kDpZGvc7Y
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO8YMcxWGO
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt17aTjVeiX
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4hpmi4lSt
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKuZCxfesg
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbQjZeWfth
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszxZNR9jzH
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJj8GTplrj
【Jello - END】
