【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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHOPKZPM9t
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxKSfD6p3Y
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauvhX0h76c
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI96zjY0es
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwCEFsqy8
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmcyMXFgoi
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwdV8aS2gY
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ093bqQk9m5
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28LKY2I0iN
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsJ60vGrvV
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo9U7DclyY
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26vW7W8gEQ
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuhBc7VXQS
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..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jWdOsiov
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD08bYvIm0
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymfEDbFT4S
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCJFyhbd1E
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVgTwKvFgR
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X4gftW8U4
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...
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RF9BEF3l2
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b0RJJK7jr
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6wNuDYSUq
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFSPNjsxdL
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZTvWy3U0d
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBiwNVeL2I
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgSwoaKSdK
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPibBtBgn1g
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZq2uj9WjW
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cTXxetNGs
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwU8pWuKgq
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEcsR4mQZU
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuy5ki2opv
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3mZl1Ekq
I said with my face beaming.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58TsAHhGxQ
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M3recOjoO
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDD9o5tdmR
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg5DhiPt5Z
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3059KvgGP
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClfgcIsYLQ
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."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCHPCyglAN
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LSr6YtRFJ
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF4Cr1dVbj
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIdwVYa8j2
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbtCYq2gTH
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVePfnkufq
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPFoC161Cf
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccCxOoa3hX
On the front of the envelope was my name.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxebo32nqV
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb12CrUYLxe
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jhjSeQ1hE
I opened it carefully.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7q8XzlvTc
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvxdpXwW0
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LwuhR6qen
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNYJJFbJFT
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MFtTDJ8rX
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..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3SHduvx0s
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7vOq8rFkp
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAufeggX0n
"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?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m2If065OV
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUELFEynO
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE7GxkVyDn
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5r2V3jXrV
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31lWBKAVFU
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q0AAbkB5H
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSNWyXw0w3
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzKY9QaFfq
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae2NIJj7F0
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CeEzdlJrZ
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0VIQWxRp4
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9b2IpBGkV
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFiORCQyi2
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu5O8gFFzN
A few days later, I received another letter.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTllVsbSCqq
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8kl8KhcQt
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKu7RmKOz
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9fHhJDsMv
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKCgnu0PQK
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB80HbAzJh
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VO4X9LIE1
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFS4PaTLgJ
Pudding : "Any good news?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CmZ5EBHZK
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgJg66ThS7
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEXxfT9T3f
Pudding said calmly.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SbeWuYWUP
Oh.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUFWxZriuV
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDRV0xaLu6
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP9vUCnjKJ
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG9ddBv421
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawe1PjDgED
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHw7fWaiE
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iCWgUcH8l
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6qyM1lABZ
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsouSrRPDyH
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubnCvhZb6f
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b5PuIFfw8
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJyiztHZA5
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNRmiZGnyF
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzZBfhrA1d
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbThoxaQKy
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHoVjBaKYy
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k5oIh0JAT
After all, she talks about him so happily.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e6OJxXfut
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRt3umg9L
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52lnnCgdFs
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNlXsmO1e0
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaJfz0b3Js
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Df2KqxNb
Jello : "Okay!"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5TM5TNb6P
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnds9mtQxse
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?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyTPyrlflS
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiBFRNlmaM
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY5Z4W8NDC
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02AEz9YzqC
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKVS8w5vyr
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OXFEKAtOS
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNfDrgVR4k
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAwfyY1WoY
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir0MHyYApX
Jello : "Uhm..."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB26e3qt4V
Pudding has always been like that.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEisiQM8S8e
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGO9cNOkMX
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6bbNmkRLH
Jello : "Okay...?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkZHQXiYMT
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjwLqgRPlF
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOSoCQnS2H
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXcSpXUze
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu3Vkc4TxF
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuxOMxIN8Q
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uylokxO4b
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKIGKsoqaB
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3nkduuIko
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2WteRhX0
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9CbrvbHHd
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bnqaBX4Z6
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCeY09Qsvi

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocRSiqb1lz

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KG3SwREi2

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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIKQUKJw9t
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFds3lALBH
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7lPsZzhHD
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQNDm9gaI
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pDpxYz0F
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE879SemjG
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI3mW0bBMe
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbswsYCGmH6
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAFcpseZTq
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqvDl0wbHo
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iVhdDWYQp
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiIGQnfhs4
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk8lAEfHgR
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44pGsm27sy
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9uMv2BEjW
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJ6SZTj1X
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.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ry35mjN8U
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIqhaAioM
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKidfg8MGQ
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpGxpJTNB4
Child : "So it was you!~"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcheqUVVm7
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtWzyOyTak
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY936UhbTng
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SIR6DQmnl
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C5Sz825Ul
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyWXj3d6XZ
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSm549fa9r
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB1GxKcWm4
Jello was completely taken aback.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEXzUoo3II
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiskXignOKb
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWMHZsHpjM
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuX4GwAxxC
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc0u505OXT
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJYi7rokik
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGQy6s3xcG
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGf8bm3STc
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb9uI2FjU9
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV4vuqw07C
Jello waved her hands frantically.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVPQECE97f
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."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68O6NPBHIt
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIqE8KWvg7
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMltKUdVoRq
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2GvTC7mBH
Jello said with a smile.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4snFXj9Vk
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIGioVg9eK
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaIkBLBPsx
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6jbcDxyRj
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP7iORR2B7
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbdnPoyMtv
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnvxl8pzNP
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx7HIDlc4u
【Jello - END】
