A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeVwIYM3HK
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyebfkrpir
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZ3iql0XL
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpXgXY7Sr5
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nzkMEhbt
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x9IyOW0ET
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDvndolZB9
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT40xMQYNt5
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6wxMuxkcC
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySau3uMVUa
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoivfSFOQNq
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RKAIBkW8M
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyiIPbedcr
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..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7I0u73O9J
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwWbdOOulS
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UGmG7Cv6j
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92tDULyZxX
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3nTC5CQdf
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIciWEIFwst
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...
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQtppD0eww
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUcsfVKbsL
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe77EoDPtK
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ubWwTIV7O
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PFims4I27
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyCki8w48V
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOsDe150Bl
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7LYBEaFxm
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHWYdsyfGe
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2e3ec007b
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SUlXl9tJp
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1idRmz1hj
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpiEiNLFWM
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGDmyz4OTZ
I said with my face beaming.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUNLGlLKcz
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlstAO1wxeq
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5O6IFvvuS
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zSDitwgqj
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2KI5S1d2
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTyFshSRFG
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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYS5QjBK7
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxxU90Yp3U
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6SOJBcTLL
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpYZ1iYkYx
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4uOzVANou
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wOSy2lYRc
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ09urQc0i
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ2oKm08wY
On the front of the envelope was my name.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTq0xLMrLa
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2m9RJvCfW
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NbUXqRySi
I opened it carefully.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwiGA82KY7
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DHh7Xshzc
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsNHfgplNK
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw9DRYve5h
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjHA96Inqj
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..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhnO50W0YP
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXd1wArWg5
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHTZoPJRHE
"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?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WZbPBqhmK
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8sNVKS7zA
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYZJ7SNzm0
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKlmjOSxl
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof8R9N7rBD
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO9pGU78iA
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XEQuEa6CF
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOILskYqlx
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A0GjybXtF
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TVZUREOrO
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4W1vZxQ5D
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7oWwMwbec
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrcwGrnzRy
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y8U5SRawG
A few days later, I received another letter.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA0FvhNNCg
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cVyUH3cO
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpwxv8BQVk
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySdBTjeFdI
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwwEea20Z1
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfxWaUpOnO
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfTy99tb6b
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJLfiEiBZk
Pudding : "Any good news?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa7PM2yugE
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCymzVMDXf
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EPSls5pHB
Pudding said calmly.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi4ka6lWnz
Oh.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBUDL1d5UT
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YRMocloav
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAgsCsR2FD
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AkAn5bM8G
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HKmxiufj
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYOszV0Jg2
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEDaGOo7XO
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLjM8LOpjA
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDI8FM1Oce
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6iMwAWiVm
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSJnG3hAO
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA394rP7Wd
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHEYVLhKOE
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8xqmkPIXi
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0AaHCJYM0
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfk5n44yZf
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56ti4dUGJu
After all, she talks about him so happily.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5WdYX3Gtf
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4dnSHPHAL
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAwcZFtABn
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoDuBuz0Wg
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvR3Ajp3sY
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIo8KwgnOh
Jello : "Okay!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xaUNXhf3T
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHIv7Tby0L
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRSdWduJm

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pl1S4VPt
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWkgPDG0A1
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlW6n8S2J2
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP6beEktuY
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Ivp3YdUX
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf8RSKlqMz
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8YqhA9j8V
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSOdyv4P20
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4nfYss0oV
Jello : "Uhm..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0sD08vKlP
Pudding has always been like that.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G9v3tAEnO
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAmqMUlyqN
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxQ2wQQgOY
Jello : "Okay...?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4BqhEObxk
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLpSLSDmti
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4IpfMYiE6
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedhS68sQ5w
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNvW0cCJSH
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5PUEduAnx
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Qce7fAeg
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzEu2srLHT
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtArgYzeo1
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBD0UChWLi
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaSZ7xwLVf
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCQdFoC5F1
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hO7ASIJJa

507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GvneB2wz
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!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xOwysf870

507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddRqnMyZgk

Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9md37SXKhJ
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPRXl6eZQk

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GnhvxUuMI
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQd2acoKgB
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVrkRDEdo1
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdgiEbkwck
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR3gEB6lbI
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfVXmRrmaF
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4nt6QPUMP
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWCQvQ3hot
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVGbgcjjdr
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EliWq1D2i
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04QCTJvCic
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8JpP1MCE0
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6tu5pekFk
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu6reQFaFz
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJeFtlaTp6
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcn6KQLNPy
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAVqZrpc1t
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFT4u0JDat
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGyA7C0NI7
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvwsoCKfEm
Child : "So it was you!~"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3rNOGtpVA
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmBfjRoxlZ
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5h3yahJN
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE4rkWwyI1
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYltK5rz6I
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Hv3TevWR
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jo30CilUt
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq1prEpagO
Jello was completely taken aback.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GgxG31eyp
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eWidNDIah
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHCuQTFqlb
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz0qYCvsYh
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D8Q8zhg1s
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKqqY41gsY
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0DexbcFJS
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSj0oX7e81
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTRYZAi4xa
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnPFT0ZIid
Jello waved her hands frantically.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMcDv3AQXa
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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIgaxFI4up
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6cRZeqWpp
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFHWLRdbr7
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa1xVul8Nb
Jello said with a smile.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyGrEzdHQ
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkpvQKECzA
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcoCgUNPvm
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGwuIU6tK
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IXuOIfAPn
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sf8tf1VJS
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8RICOAPrw
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXXZpXSOjK
【Jello - END】
