A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93dIue1ECj
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Lqg7hDEs
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsnV77bcgE
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5XXsDJVaX
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsgtTey7rc
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIleg979Ln
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0pfPtiYwA
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbRMjlgmDx
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG2nsvTlkL
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKkQaV5Hvs
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQTnpM7P3b
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6QzEuN1QK
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIQ4XlOm5O
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..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6IOyIKiSb
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXWBaN4SnD
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaaemtGL5M
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyYTuo6ais
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnJ1GfQAwa
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7YCIWnYae
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...
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna2MVYAQ7i
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQYvFMtQYf
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZxRe2KRu
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEOAgzGpeC
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL9xe2o0ST
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWLOuO1a91
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsBKfdlkws
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4dcTMHwe3
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Ms1xtctF
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0PAk1QbWW
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LGnKPqmQ
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AJbnfD60
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKrv482cpn
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1BnjoERWb
I said with my face beaming.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBaqs60thQ
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWlNLyQ7sq
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7JjH0VvbM
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYGaa3HlF1
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhSo0Z73nO
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAT8fRRlB8
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."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawEPDDt91L
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1EOPuydU6
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXSZISTDBo
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJ45zFLmm
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvIRnECx13
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX53JFIMNZo
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLBaCNdcvw
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSrSAX1Ti1
On the front of the envelope was my name.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxEfoG5Mc
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G36PqHurx
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPR0wOCwbl
I opened it carefully.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAOyjVhBwx
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqJSAHP9W
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvttznTUdY
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2lSHveoAk
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFJCHTwWjp
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..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0eq85Vwc
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvKYKDbsZo
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJPbaND3K6
"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?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLiUz0VXDG
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgPwwbDYab
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOekffSSf
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pC5E19Pgf
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Otud4ZzE6
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcOuDbLNmM
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr3H5FDU3X
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6anEFVhiX
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLmxDcX1Sb
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Ex4qOS1x
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLODtX63Hu
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehq67i4FdC
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk0jOJTJsP
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8IKUGxj1N
A few days later, I received another letter.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2wVTxHJDS
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFgYh3AOEE
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8WwUTRmc
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aRRlKvPCo
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnLV4viyvJ
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfNg4WIYR
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LlV0ye5fU
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6nburJlKB
Pudding : "Any good news?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz3ZBWHJxk
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WU8SFEJf
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6PtBSR6hS
Pudding said calmly.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyeUiwr6xG
Oh.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKO3cUH1p6
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaZmcCLni
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwmRsaFnwJ
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmsBpQMFHb
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1p1r0dkGY
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk0KizhJmd
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNzd2ZGUC
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZikiCpHiyr
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n5DIOhY0V
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFwB8uG9w3
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjAOfxpcSn
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RvgqHaGfN
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvEdwTQAVx
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEQrWV8xX5
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ju14nc4K8
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsHz9IbXrA
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCKYBVpS1p
After all, she talks about him so happily.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpWpZ2Ywpa
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tmEnW2rTj
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsCkO9buok
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2e7WJ1v7A
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFAK6bIxPS
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ndsr6FEXf
Jello : "Okay!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkkNeAGHL
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEOo7EKZ5T
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7fg00PD3h

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjP7DnOlz7
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL1ISLQShC
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJi1LXBkT
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0p0smMXdJ
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMMtqkVvVH
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZtKwRAMTe
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNOmmOgjmp
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jy4EA6IQd
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ZztQTTym
Jello : "Uhm..."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6YslS4k3Y
Pudding has always been like that.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WgQCIGpJj
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt5YBm49GI
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxt5DgQ59Z
Jello : "Okay...?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34NgAgnkcL
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsOVjoD2IL
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E1kHq7jZ1
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ijsF9Wmfq
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLiwB3aL7
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c0NcLmRKA
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwQBCbPBR
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOKMcotkXA
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnjrlVyTR3
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ZdabtaVi
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuOmtD1BNP
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRilpcbG5Ml
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhlbEVZIJS
The stage would be all lit up next.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrvvgqSZqo
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!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8GhG5G1Lk

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN3dgXa8Sa

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCmtGZJJcV

Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqTze83LmZ

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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZUZHdNnnB
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJi7aYpstv
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Y2joW9Zr
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3N8DRIjbS
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshLBHr7pwx
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqonivN8YS
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB5ycw2W5G
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56LEiZ2apa
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdqz8bDTeI
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvIdRi0E7u
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7EJkjzEpt
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd3HpN2BVn
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzFU46nAHf
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouOq7HGvY3
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19CqR0L7pq
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40x6MtYWL9
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdLjA1PmLJ
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYPNrzhQap
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RAWLOrWiz
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ct9k8pbCm
Child : "So it was you!~"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgPGfyGrlc
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgNbsWLP4o
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vbow6awZd
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykMwzsx9Vy
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOu9NClZMx
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtO8MKTAqY
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bUXLdiOJx
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nWFwXu99S
Jello was completely taken aback.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D3NkM4R8g
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KO83dQVBi
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z8AqByIic
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZndvPyB3
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjJzQwgyBq
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc2o6S5bfT
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvjXkJLRvr
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7mgBrhIrd
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrla88Yn4B
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ud5FEk6Ee
Jello waved her hands frantically.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b2uivUaJb
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."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNSfC9Bp3B
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9bnlb1nXE
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSjhvE33gP
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NBU7fdKsP
Jello said with a smile.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUqCfBau9n
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlwRvKmXCY
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBLMTfYXSP
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs50tOMazI
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD6KWOztvj
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd06oC4aVYD
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWHdadnvoX
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCZRRWbdy3
【Jello - END】
