A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbAP0Jsdkt
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrY2GrLOFd
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9OZ9EDfqw
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTYJrdwN5D
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dEK8sl0vN
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUKFAr5dFC
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZ6Urwfr8
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLlugsEg28
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKDjVjCSR
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qa02ab8Wk
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYinGln665G
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFRk8ltRoq
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI1otNw4j1
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..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrOXJJRqu8
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9f2Gy0qmQ
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpFyt160H
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ctydKpcQ
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbuubyWrK1
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnUlHXkJou
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...
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlMZ1tHgks
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqc5K2IQQ0
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR06q4J5MnX
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfNJZrnRgE
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbX0zQ1wcN
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb0sW6g22p
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNh9VpfUtY
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCyLj7nhUY
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmkKMlF0qc
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vvxioCUeh
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL7nUIK34V
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOw3MNpAAY
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGxyHVGPox
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonY3BhZQKp
I said with my face beaming.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ssh3wYkvx
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCwr85KCd
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQYPU6Zwcq
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvAefKRok0
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfTi3nXDXW
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpnJdDWT1x
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3H1UWvCmN
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTzw37iU69
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx2OKKuRO4
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzRnV7slDK
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAxjumuHBq
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4aLoXlQta
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGNbHnSUhW
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlen5Bv3Pg
On the front of the envelope was my name.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdFLUWWNaR
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pFpGKW8iA
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1kCHTk50Y
I opened it carefully.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOefNuioIp
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Q03rBBPW
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3VoWlmYF
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4o9KmhWwD
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhGMi306mQ
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..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7qstLgHLH
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua6lnGAl3N
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq9d2wQrV7
"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?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJcdZDyOL
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj3feHxZBG
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTuTztpThI
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6cc0YMEk
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr41IvccKVn
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnnHBBGDGd
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3dQGsnmQB
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpAKPGoWnD
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQlQt2FNuS
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFW09ikRix
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeCgCUZgaG
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlxs5jWWr7
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIowZAH5E2
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJrFa5amOz
A few days later, I received another letter.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSEGjLFj5y
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dbUAIT72T
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FAG4z4bVV
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYkvT1bIQL
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3lv5Udt0c
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTOMKGsi2
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4hyNj97m
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3aeABJoo4
Pudding : "Any good news?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP5Di1DgZM
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwuUW2WrjU
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PdhetLWD
Pudding said calmly.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Jqc6wjiv
Oh.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuSc97tNge
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMljMDbnmP
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiWJV4FlSt
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7wXEwXBkO
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfnWXYVu43
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBVsdhDUA
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFarnOWMP5
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH56EMOJ0Yr
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50TEDs4kgd
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT50hNTdVMT
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ojpuu0oBp
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrPV3miMhx
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT65licrcj
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQJC3mVWI
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp0ZLeILfZ
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXHUZYzoqf
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkvxySQU1
After all, she talks about him so happily.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLTXraHAun
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfg5mMBiQB
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3XrhbdQ6A
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29so3yLVHP
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSqAGwVhAg
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi53LYu0Kjf
Jello : "Okay!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Qqdy5Fjr
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmVXM8HeGh
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7MtNt5JfL

502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UfAITIVtb
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu7kXPBNf6
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7FTM1QupI
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dm0v8FbQN
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXpZUClU9Z
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBUn2VBR62
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NhkvA0Ol
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLII2O9ORQK
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdD9YE1Hpq
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhKbMkjDbY
Jello : "Uhm..."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq0t0eFXAw
Pudding has always been like that.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B7TzryVR9
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixGG4Au63V
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQpXTJ3kwI
Jello : "Okay...?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbQVkqnYqE
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeovywSR54
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlYrWDlQcI
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E8iiuUOmp
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5Qz7AXzD
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWAqHzNoJK
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuVpGZBpxf
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitXuXQqlPh
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3w8Dt5W2O
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVubdLFTKf
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTVeHGEH5w
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyijIvxApVl
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6xd2zE9t
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUGoI9ogbd
The stage would be all lit up next.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDwvBJrgno
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!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsGVAMxrX6
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjomcWSuzh6
Lacy, can you hear it?
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD2YNw2Cc5

502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNKyDcXjZ
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)

502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvNM1mkhXZ
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0w3EAq5Fs
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAtitXPutO
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwogXjChjF
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.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp060de3D7
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqFpH7vuiP
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Q8uyPpBV
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc5i44tEHx
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST1OOl1Iz0
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QIUrs8Wen
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aKxuFFMzy
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf69pzXOcK
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg1xOdDe7V
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQr5JdNAP
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr0VxinlFE
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB2JLydjVi
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.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB22QM0mM1
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OR0EwjlSK
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKu0C5Nmry
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvSjTBxAam
Child : "So it was you!~"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQQrxNW0AS
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0fA4cjGuo
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9JiFpyjYC
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZjwQkTRcm
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvbJFXhCGV
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDglfNA7kO
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutGBNU7bqL
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv6oLk8jhh
Jello was completely taken aback.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pZUknn7hr
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45qo6shQE
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSLE6S56qT
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxHWx27Uf9
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXPWRWeF5y
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwnZQoEPdW
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNCFBmbNs8
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpYirmMKgW
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3pJ0ijyLk
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkzwpydlO0
Jello waved her hands frantically.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1P4bI8Fkq
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."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylXX68m2or
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQevzjjTAS8
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY9SpwtSzf
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi0TyI0sGO
Jello said with a smile.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t0E3cny66
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g59f3DIE1
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcf3ZWmI1M
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyboOCDs5Q
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXoD07G0qU
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJb52m4Ht4
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNEAZNykXR
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
502Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kkxu9sHZv
