【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.
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

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

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.

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

551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn6DBvpFhW

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.

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.
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUnH3k7wQ7
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
