【Jello is a young girl with a lot of heart and vitality.】

【Her sweet and beautiful singing voice can lift the spirits of even the saddest souls, and she's also quite popular amongst everyone.】
551Please respect copyright.PENANAf9EvYmPF0F
A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAzoLmqfIHeN
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAWYPRK2yVIT
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAd55bCnhIYy
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAaBdvpZnHcZ
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAE6Qyu2RNoB
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA22dA9IdfDa
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAnH9npFjnVD
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAYgoUj2Dk7n
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA1GvbnL4ElF
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAQAlmoGSJWi
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAprSH5ol41c
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAqoYCA4FxVm
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAYSPmmablN9
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..
551Please respect copyright.PENANAqKOKY5jdOc
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAJXz3iO6JPn
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAet9eX3jpdB
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAVWmI96q0bf
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAQS6PXIKeoP
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAgSbe1jzf7L
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...
551Please respect copyright.PENANA3v9hn7SBHH
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAtPdiKm3kxx
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA97PbQsQ5jV
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAlrzgQmIMTJ
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
551Please respect copyright.PENANA5VBfXqtsyJ
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAokdjTaDgCs
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA9EAc5zOaaO
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAP5DAnlgeGh
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAQiQGLaDczB
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAaXEh5xVHYO
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
551Please respect copyright.PENANApm1lKiRO8z
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANADK312zSDOE
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAq7pAfKhcEF
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAEsyGH8FWqN
I said with my face beaming.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAo6RzbI9PPS
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAmJobS7Vver
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAui8J4j2AJU
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAug9Z053QWg
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAjkTDwdUium
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAJ197PxTfC0
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."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAUB7DWDyOsS
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAiOq0Z0km8F
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAqEKYPRawmd
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA6cRESyKu87
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
551Please respect copyright.PENANALRGsVqxbqb
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAD2QZ1rHVED
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAnw1LmUP3rV
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAlzEnQQPoRQ
On the front of the envelope was my name.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAhk8pMfBt4C
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ir0xndGUA
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAvDnBnBNrKs
I opened it carefully.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAeWLTjZb7N0
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAclPmVSg9u6
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA5hRExdOUv4
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
551Please respect copyright.PENANATH1hG00ciO
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZZIEOBtv1
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..
551Please respect copyright.PENANAcDWjXIuIbG
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAb2t7bhEZ7n
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAXJuoTcwIaR
"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?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAUivkyHlniX
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAeGExIcDaYf
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAIpdSmnaqCZ
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAzKg78J0uEi
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAT7rOZuc0Ek
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
551Please respect copyright.PENANArW2iAoDm63
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAWsDcfiiTDF
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAYSrkSuxBvq
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
551Please respect copyright.PENANA2kCIZ0Ognk
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAgtpJSOAMBB
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAT2gi2pObWM
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAJAbwdYF6aJ
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAJocgqjQdTs
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA5geRcNWLVG
A few days later, I received another letter.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAo09xYO4Ffz
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAKnW9sMm0wl
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAROwuJVweSC
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ9mF5JiAb
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAIjGf5emzAr
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAT3GAEnvuiG
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAsOg2xNTJqB
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA0v6AFzHtov
Pudding : "Any good news?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAkKiEyzlbAA
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAfBVvdygjuu
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAJSxle9lnQv
Pudding said calmly.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAITQlkWQTXv
Oh.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAI9tDUOFKvA
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAa4OAmKS7dJ
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAPAHeFCdyKl
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAnAZntrJEy9
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAnrtBMRoxAT
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAuQGJT0kI0R
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAbW63UJIeYs
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
551Please respect copyright.PENANATgDXxkt53r
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAtmrMUqsoz6
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAPyO0VYGIR9
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAqPIxP2Sbbo
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA7quaDb7xEI
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAcmgRmnqggC
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAyq8nDMwBHW
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
551Please respect copyright.PENANALMSj0cN6HW
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAjNRgbXPSc8
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAaDbSqUVDsS
After all, she talks about him so happily.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAuNSg3AUnZn
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAmsvt33xcxt
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAVzssp24kTH
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAwl4moNBbEV
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAabujIBZEbB
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAGjzyzG04gh
Jello : "Okay!"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAlwhDIpaubg
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAiAHrw41g8S
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAVFzEc9PYt4

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAPKQAYX87fb
Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAypd8Eko0HN
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAU3aUZIdG5z
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAXk7qjB8sDa
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAlqPsi7Xn8X
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAdnRrz3V4x8
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAkakiqKj5IW
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
551Please respect copyright.PENANACjHn8xt9tn
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAmnfm36tHaV
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAnEzpu03ewG
Jello : "Uhm..."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAUy5wjANiJo
Pudding has always been like that.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAWJuL1O6frd
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA1ILjJ8QE8M
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAfUFC4xWQem
Jello : "Okay...?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zyt09a7dp
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
551Please respect copyright.PENANACSbrPH6Pi6
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANACK5UI3pBbO
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
551Please respect copyright.PENANALauyvbhIxu
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANATHawbxyuoO
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
551Please respect copyright.PENANApEkJ5sDz1n
Maybe it's because I'm a Food Soul that time really doesn't mean much to me.

551Please respect copyright.PENANAgGythlPoTA
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA9UfNgBwHUR
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAxdfAVVOQKb
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAXUohsgFPJ2
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAxZgfJz3qys
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
551Please respect copyright.PENANAIHq6MO1zYa
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAK5MGCtTtmh
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAGvL6DxsMdg
The stage would be all lit up next.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAJNy2iBNsC4
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAGUJZP5g2Jn
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAbjGdN0OMl4
"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAsONs8k55Yi
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
551Please respect copyright.PENANABn6DBvpFhW
Lacy, can you hear it?
551Please respect copyright.PENANAFcXHoH7Iqi
The future that Jello wants to tell you about is a place where everyone can be happy together.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA9FrpkBSJCk
So don't go to a lonely island alone.

551Please respect copyright.PENANAysHVNHbfmK
(In the darkness surrounding the stage, waves of yellow and green lightsticks pulsated to the rhythm of the words and the music, twinkling like a sea of stars.)
551Please respect copyright.PENANACPiC4PaXDc
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)
551Please respect copyright.PENANAdW3XsLjfHa
(The silvery light of the full moon hanging in the night sky illuminated a silent forest.)
551Please respect copyright.PENANASTCZ7DMJ5h
(Two thin figures, the gentle whoosh of the wind rustling through the leaves.)
551Please respect copyright.PENANAntj4uRAUP0
A familiar song.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAVKsdjRQhcy
Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
551Please respect copyright.PENANAHAn6tcQHIU
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAGrl8xn20rO
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAtriGAyWOJm
Whether bustling city or peaceful town, when night falls they all transform into a world of quiet.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA0GKc4VMCce
Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA8XZGVyENSJ
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANArYBoAJiRco
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAysTnV6HNmt
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAlQC0tBxByD
Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAtp5YgAjfqh
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAUU7rDWcZRS
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA60xbAboBLT
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA9SEFHWxdn9
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAWATg1rtsTj
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA0SXDqXDMvb
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
551Please respect copyright.PENANACQwXYhNAOR
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAG2RLHeCHO0
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.

She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA3eotuBcFIE
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAoudwJDLKuo
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAtu9EEVF944
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAR1FXxx2DUX
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.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAOnTSSpjh62
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
551Please respect copyright.PENANAmKHb1clcwq
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANA9e1HYeWULE
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAdqXy4AnaMv
Child : "So it was you!~"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAvGu5iz977A
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAwbe5enEAlY
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
551Please respect copyright.PENANA3cVAzI4FyA
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAhyKM0AI2B6
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
551Please respect copyright.PENANA4TwceVRQ2z
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
551Please respect copyright.PENANADFYKa67IlI
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAiMxAKV6lFt
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAEq3tTPTUHM
Jello was completely taken aback.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAbGwe49NLIq
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAyGxdJlJjwq
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
551Please respect copyright.PENANARNGepTDQhe
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
551Please respect copyright.PENANApAEg5oXnzL
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAYniWCPx95S
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
551Please respect copyright.PENANANlFYjro0am
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
551Please respect copyright.PENANAa0YP7CgdV0
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAncYm5BV6Z4
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAy2IWVEDduT
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
551Please respect copyright.PENANApnOza79zQk
Jello waved her hands frantically.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAhv0Z2RT6ho
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."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAUYXSf8pt2F
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAtU7IDhWBEd
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAXeuXD5SWBQ
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
551Please respect copyright.PENANAhvPOME2pWb
Jello said with a smile.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAlu2imYElrB
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAspMIGf36nQ
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
551Please respect copyright.PENANAgU3eqYVIBp
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAMd2qT0uf3M
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAgx33Ki4JF3
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
551Please respect copyright.PENANApEgEToVRLL
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
551Please respect copyright.PENANAK48y6IsFZD
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
551Please respect copyright.PENANAFGZoLVfr2k
【Jello - END】
