A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeEUvE8Q9A
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfeD32vXBx
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bnq81VoYB
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ53AEiXogY
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcibWQQUNc
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8btart6A0f
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZVMh7YLX
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELmoe0lOJ4
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE5CwjTPoW
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGUDyuU8M
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpPNrZIH5
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JRU8Qj5aH
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf75Lgjfu3j
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..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd0bPD8l1d
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6SCrUAM1v
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSKrc95bzn
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IKOkI8Rg
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIJ7t0Vcb
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3zt6XIJ2u
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...
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvApk9MYaR4
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhKM78RZYf
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe1xyrQdZZ
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqLgBiKBmB
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTZssZ3Syz
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4NODWtSfV
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYTZX4OYpe
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoI6brYZNL
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws9PNeBdpb
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyTDoGCbfO
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC1VLceFX2
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUOxFca4w6
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQXFrGXDJT
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SUtgYzgdV
I said with my face beaming.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIynzzsIvj
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4imtzjQed
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdnS5UHQhA
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoEMHaHiX9
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27fRd8ZVnG
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNOthJFPW
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."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnsLsaHQGe
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7m6t9jzt
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvJqFWrv8L
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpInZa1Nxoo
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalplKYdm9U
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05XXV81Ql0
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLx9iBlThY
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOasgUJlYgY
On the front of the envelope was my name.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz7dkcxGM9
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPmMnbBDws
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5EkoqU1hP
I opened it carefully.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9k100JXYE
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78emPwaXdM
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRl0cR49L3
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Acbj5JO62
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAKudK5Rdm
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..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hl6MKaFiL
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8iM41ICRj
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLokvdXRZF
"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?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBDOo3s7C2
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw0EAqqwPj
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7j8k3tMV
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm2LzbPe7w
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjj4HC4wsg
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNd1yCKvBe
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOHykjkGxF
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl62rJ5Azuw
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgnS7U9n7H
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNIX629vNP
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1H6gNDTAF
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdKSXAS9C
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXzFBqlnT5
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WCwxtBObT
A few days later, I received another letter.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHOimJsRaq
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbrJGysdqa
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiDEIndVHB
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tanfqrXgx
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTehS2acZ
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETbvXiq8bs
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVTSuwcM8Y
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYRvccY8tg
Pudding : "Any good news?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6vBIsZVXC
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm4bx68CRZ
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30pyUr2IHP
Pudding said calmly.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyWUdbtaYi
Oh.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dH3ixWpoP
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmsBqWYWI
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUw1LyGL9y
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFcPrq6S3E
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglgufwtxme
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQPhrZXWuL
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH4a0HA15I
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLgkDfweAg
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhYQkWS8Km
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8GiozQLb
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBjchqldWq
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB7En7udWs
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKakh1O0FZw
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3dHslrHqm
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaSbyEqLx4
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aNoPH7x4c
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88kcYxH9QX
After all, she talks about him so happily.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VqUYpDI6e
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJqUsqk5my
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO3JRCn3ha
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBgFBt28y6
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6jJVU6MYA
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ5lfXn8ou
Jello : "Okay!"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTtPNB59Y2
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu2Io5rYGt
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7iVOTM2bM

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4MHTdg3Ai
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrfDwC5ITr
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cpjkzuNok
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2io8hHUNN
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQsZp1v3dH
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEI8fAy633
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx2tZVQJdX
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkqPBqCnm
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J44YKHIuY
Jello : "Uhm..."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDObrSY2BFX
Pudding has always been like that.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnynBSt1CV
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ687d4x9YnX
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq9IuoCdek
Jello : "Okay...?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnPZbbskTt
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNqsP8X4sD
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95H9xjNkz0
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3snP8MKYdW
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PmwKWCwRX
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjc2JmoA1R
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZhrbdz30V
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UeBmk6eRu
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMap8rOW9K
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzjCFmH4z
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0vVHGZDHs
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIadj9hWxTf
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpIYJ7eQgg

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K0ArknNRz
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!"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wu2NjOz3Z

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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4kqN56g0R
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU49SIolI1
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3qOguACv
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3BI63fsxi
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYPg65GC4B
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8F98EOt7
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjgLJqEpMC
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZPenlxNrw
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHY47f1EXC
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9kfS8RiPK
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xxALVhj3h
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXXhEznaB6
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQC457IT5v
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZwinW0FIY
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqdJb1t6pP
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDuXegNzO
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.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTayQCNpBoc
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFrtXqpBpy
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUhLTniP4T
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25vaTYORDA
Child : "So it was you!~"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5P0rKPRkb
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU1Yfw4LYf
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFwrPRFr04
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunZ6a9f1Mp
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUbLADswN7
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYSQsI5EEi
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhZO6lwTSN
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90VcueahHK
Jello was completely taken aback.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv66E8kgP8
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjP8N267dc
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUmEFkm2vK
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1poVPpMXm
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1bJTLmMUl
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIqClBqYz5
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS8rbpkS1E
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsLljShX1w
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89TwLWKQyM
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8KfM9nvuR
Jello waved her hands frantically.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUawUfy10li
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."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhcd0dveaC
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dqd3VPUP4
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMBqzoSSoM
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ht9U4aiFk
Jello said with a smile.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cnCRWRQhY
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSH9VCxbE4
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XldMB0MlX
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaxxlmsjua
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp5XglEZ00
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPTMOAkPnZ
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB779dKGy0
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6edb3ReXeL
【Jello - END】
