【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】

A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfUirZa66S
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ809GoEZG16
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqLlLWhNVQ
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FMOrIyL7H
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ997WWdZptO
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wm2pfIDN
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ6nhRgZDj
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOkHy07vd7
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvUnQO44bW
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67fIpTZrN7
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBauxLs3bYU
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UpLaAJD2C
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZqstRQWrc
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..
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLDxWVnSeR
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jXlOjMRuM
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWpJRGOwkw
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaozZNseXDr
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860NHHWGct
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFedo1qwch
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...
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KLemzFca6
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFIjxuFaA
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBeV0HqVD
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH844y5ZGU
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL0iN7JgcS
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzkGB1mklV
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4UT5Qjnh2
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO8PyIE5Xd
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOdK172fS7
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l6YDxhWZ0
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfCWYIKLM0
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXfsb0IzIP
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAbUWWwLNL
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7zybWnZQ4
I said with my face beaming.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRptyOJk0T
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEvxInScXl
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRfQuy4zId
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5PyDgq46
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwEsqjG3C9
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9SgmxiuVF
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."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqWLgPXbE6
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKHaZGPNk1
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkCGcc5VMg
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9RAmJweHg
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPPlNHlmza
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU39HDs7sdj
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn4x4guSM5
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFE9wOCCIy
On the front of the envelope was my name.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3hHalnDH
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRFhh3xUd
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkNICzNQYA
I opened it carefully.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DZL7cXPzI
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIpsRDPgxV
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9QyUa2Srj
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy2VzCEY3x
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DIx7gN29F
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..
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqiUCXrp1X
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRE42LGPmR
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyipeQJMSM
"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?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowqJn5Z66
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeGYcsoMO
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9tKn4EeAl
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJjiHNbIl
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePtq4FBuqm
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdygOnqbG1v
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtbiJZgCV5
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmSG8HhFUv
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZYbYdcTRL
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd70o0c9evV
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjihr9qLB2
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIK0z5PMmt
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn1BajX1Ff
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjzbpXL0jP
A few days later, I received another letter.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeI3U1jTXd
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTiHCfmCj3
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTiA6c84oQ
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFJvvKpTub
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4rNheX3XG
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQVGYaCIK
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ypRS61GCW
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSygfIkOUeF
Pudding : "Any good news?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjihR5xOen
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6qyH4C2O7
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zpu6uJhjO
Pudding said calmly.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruNzReRq7Z
Oh.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCzto5fDn9
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaP31hwvWH
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTx7CpLVfE
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKlWnhz8pu
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY4GYa3zVr
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy7fPqFyEv
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbmfPb9g6O
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrAvrWMS1n
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP1PlKKEOp
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRixFq4klQj
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB48S5vu1G
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLxrE2wuyv
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpKqSmVOAH
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp38GkWVVB
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWn68QtRlm
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C7yjzEY22
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunsoPl3cZy
After all, she talks about him so happily.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlumZFLm5po
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fDnOyylwS
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J1jQAJKqP
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELKw3V467K
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfSHTzXhzm
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3j8CzCjDZ
Jello : "Okay!"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5SE2Ae5om
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nxz11jqOX
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI2DuzCXX4

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSJsjy3oTV
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NJlZ5qdRo
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqormVjxBNT
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6unJuX9ZFt
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBUjHd1pHc
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHelteqakdq
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6NskB62rV
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSzJ4Jirgw
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Bd9iA2Zh
Jello : "Uhm..."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmLXhymL3b
Pudding has always been like that.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHXAzUxbVi
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca20G6DAyn
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef6hgGDBy9

684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLM0ywp12V
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JlcqWayRr
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVrsZYVJwl
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVgTnTkl78
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIzQvHsK2V
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ps8OphB1v
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0cNnkP9n
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWQk9zumu8
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNGftsWxkt
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RYZZqaFkR
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYewqr4KMf5
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE4zsP70iW
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IcBiXYREi

684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm69pH1jot
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.

684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5SCSGWHRz

684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccCuO2L1ic

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7kdXQrAsP
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv2dwLXfOZ
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZfrMKHI4V
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.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Go1s5AkE
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhJGawpBp
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQCfQDOt2Z
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RBNLFOvJ5
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqedulMMaCG
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLUAHC8kqD
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT85AwlQ0n5
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKln2KSKGmy
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K2YMIPDU3
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxNp6CGeil
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa0QC8KQVt
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm3dlvrRxX
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.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6PMldq0kw
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8m0fW5KVz
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNbqtfYalF
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRDj2MFnzk
Child : "So it was you!~"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFOeKoIURy
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj4wQQLaXA
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytH8IePDc6
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA66Jk0J65
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekmf4lLUR
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtqfIbUHX
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDiWfVGmf9
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuV4ITGFfw
Jello was completely taken aback.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLqurdi2cs
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2FXvy52tH
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PKNnOfi76
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTia6pOmqrC
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUtHTYQFlN
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6OX2s2kRa
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQehFqx7ul
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Xm0JCuuE
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB0QwOXvNO
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyktlnCQRe0
Jello waved her hands frantically.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqIzgbkgGX
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."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQGWrBR82v
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH4gQh3wQV
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7vD7aJQfp
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqsY4tnCcZ
Jello said with a smile.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejJSiqtHkw
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK9zRvtspv
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KEC8WkDhP
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLQaqiJ5n
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIecKDHauk
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjQOubKEd3
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGojgtYWsNE
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
