A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrVpcnOglM
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRPtS2IYsl
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVI1LfHikR
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5QUJ1XYa9
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXMMZ3Ou2m
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuupSb1jRJR
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDEIGLDUjX
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vM8RBvNH
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSCcrBtdeE
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzAUsbI3tT
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTTctqsVjZ
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdY637PU74
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd5oXjkStp
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..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIkXKiNrqE
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGH4LkOlNI
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hXEv8bwT
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk2n5gepXF
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViK4aGZ5tm
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaphLhcfof
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...
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzCqrYHgGV
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32HbBO8rA
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nxrtwPRO
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp9tNF2R2G
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzumaltk6Gi
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUAQHNIBwl
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3yienQNM8
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBo6NASyqq
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWwlR0CB4s
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1t7dRy0RH
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohMrEYmFav
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGaSAtOjgY
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWjUghnZXc
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoUTbUgcEr
I said with my face beaming.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17eQnSKVyR
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z2YFngFkC
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZli8DABvJ
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpzxbtPS3V
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKPwhiVjZ
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeKUmmuLMO
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."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy6PT2cIwz
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhTu7RBiOC
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPvWAHZmu
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8QTXD7gD5
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl1yGVy2Y6
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidyqlHicHF
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeg36scNOT
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO3TUGA9Q2
On the front of the envelope was my name.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHYn768giy
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6l4usEzaw
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsVSIfED1j
I opened it carefully.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGzePpwmnx
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK2YBccgsq
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBoDypARTj
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0pweCptGq
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TaE9RHxcW
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..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEomXsjJM83
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMdvjZq9TQ
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxAuPJBdra
"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?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz56nj6ZPh9
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLPsA0qOsY
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9VvAOLnCA
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV4W5AlWd4
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86zgLLWHIS
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQArMFrCi
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcuuqpQUJC
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2YXoKdyxC
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZMx2lRc3e
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKyKdtbEwh
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj19gC430R
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjvKVlN3Gh
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJGmDKO9k
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvztDgRXIeW
A few days later, I received another letter.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy149KZVSni
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNPSSctKkn
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBrN89pav7
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEZe2drgl0
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30piQdaK3A
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQUVFVsuYW
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyAc1TzoJE
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiK8IwqK0r
Pudding : "Any good news?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7u4tZ1997
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevjVP9LLBf
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkncsYTKshv
Pudding said calmly.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAGKTrSulT
Oh.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW73qxoXl5
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpee7Btz6u4
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzewMmYLFx
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEZaaQ9p7I
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTK1m1CMDn
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsJ1Pdgnqg
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1UgWa3OOo
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRrMTd2Pa9
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZMFHPCN1f
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76g3z4ESt5
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2js1u2m3RJ
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwk8X2hXbq
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ruIMfmNEL
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAHqLKC8Lw
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvf9ARyUON
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTYuj7U4kR
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDIzSWS58S
After all, she talks about him so happily.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX45TbHt8Q2
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVg3KFFTYn
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjkcAtg3tV
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahL5LQB2xw
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d8aNkC3JF
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOe2GgqP6E
Jello : "Okay!"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDLSv3eFmW
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY6TGt2waZ
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKXy7Ros6

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjpBIUvkmL
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17zGkGRwwk
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkzg1F3JpH
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyNGTxnG3a
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySzffuZCtM
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXy77oJBST
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPV786Q03Y
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmh5pptWv1
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekJG7OFO2V
Jello : "Uhm..."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOgKSt97q2
Pudding has always been like that.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrORMIsuUdb
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFBZ5EF8aC
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25fJUufjRy
Jello : "Okay...?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdHSAO8OnD
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3smFj834n7
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIcAUwIVSR
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAbH0LHKGm
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmDfkTaCgL
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpz1ax4KOw
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dXBH08D5S
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPVg2KJfXr
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzJCCcNfob
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOmmjH1OLp
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUEL6SYr5M
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfaT9m0BiM
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyIjFAn7wS

496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRiCJfRm1l
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.

496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7d1qjgvSV

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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyCJjXo8xd
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl9dNpEKCy
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4rCcefZKG
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgIvcl0J6m
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymUc5jUrdm
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS00qWf0J6
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrgRNHyQJ
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3sZ0CqtAB
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqwUdy4adW
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzBOVfiL3
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZCutHU4dC
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjplFHHTxP
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnFzawUmhI
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rYI4zEUjV
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Lox7cG9T
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOQa2LPT03
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.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vb9E3EXh5
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQSnFsj1jZ
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX7939wrYp
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEhPxzWopO
Child : "So it was you!~"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcolDxOEP0u
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdUXrVlZir
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsXRmj2sHv
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjebHIkGsqy
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6SMec8Z9i
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHftnwG7C
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOne6rKg1E
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi3beqoDZB
Jello was completely taken aback.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgdXmwwOrK
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQONYs9qkaI
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzgQCJbBq2
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm53slS2AWM
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmQXgH5Kl
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjAReHYFR0
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7HXLJx2Pi
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRILPDFmJ1
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnxx0E0j4Y
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1pBdEK54r
Jello waved her hands frantically.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJA0BbX7Mb
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."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWisWRl0puj
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztuyTdQ1YV
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPGMxDlVxf
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu79bwvThV
Jello said with a smile.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKft096eS8S
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFDtaI7UiZ
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QI8Keaynn
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0x12gwt20
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYqcuu02EC
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs9k8oX1bq
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQCTX6ZplT
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ZiyFPRet
