【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.】

A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJzVBbrnpj
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5EPcQFYG
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7tYmONKHa
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGfDKuSHfR
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhreTvQhKNn
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmqfEnuSDo
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdPQqdBGM7
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYhXXHQ72Q
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEDE5umKvV
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB87QiATrB1
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb68cB2AkL
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARfKDy5X6
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZBKg8yv9s
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..
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9W3rhw5oT
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwNboITaYU
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9G8mAO8OD
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3A8YI3TUi
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYoBq0YfwN
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJHDgIpJDn
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...
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdo7wgmh2P
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSYEhCNvRT
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzV4G9UP6P
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Vi1rC4Ss
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW4soXhVfJ
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJkBiB9lzf
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ53uEB8zk
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzs2jk8wSg
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hbae2RxPQ
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LpNFYF765
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFzdgMTUsu
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuQ9mttmC8
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5FbudUNg8
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTZPrWXqAx
I said with my face beaming.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVEQcyb4PK
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUcyjTH3fb
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyEkkMAaQX
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpaMAWGqUJ
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFGxoLJ2vH
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvE4Y33VMy
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."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRddF4AeeU
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJMvMBCqLH
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyUFpsP8nq
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV2oQl64Go
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TyNssLNpy
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM3JoKaxzD
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrMn6krxQk
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJofli6xEr
On the front of the envelope was my name.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG5reX6uDp
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2yoDLCd7M
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkgxdaO5gG
I opened it carefully.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtY7xYLg9X
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipcx3uNs5y
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETI25HMqbO
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6eFwkUq1d
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjRy1p138r
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..
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKL6XsjVWX
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJAa4L2UV
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0jc8rKXIf
"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?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKYQqj018
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRAUg2zRGg
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG1qjxXhin
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQumosm5gXJ
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRJkukYgRW
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIYnps1UEp
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPfN26c3mW
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbQHBXCisq
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmmmrYtDPY
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYfpZjXQd
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz2iy8tfy7
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tLuh2ni6i
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZzTaUE6M
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXht2qr1WH
A few days later, I received another letter.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAHKZTTbEn
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEi67Dyrg2
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwtOYtZmNQ
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CXTf4gqvQ
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U5IEgtRfk
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpOIRx5Yi
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHftICRIOfS
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgV8qvR7gr
Pudding : "Any good news?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IKXImPRqx
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O2IvL8sFP
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nTdLUpj7f
Pudding said calmly.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnnlU8bnrl
Oh.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJkPcnEZfm
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIykE7H3O1
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5YeZAsx5P
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7dNdg7q9a
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIXXGo1ND
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpqEY1hHG5
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLjhGflDba
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOcWHWFZFn
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdmTDHsKJT
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9QOFoB8KR
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhgtWOWGsy
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ89W5VPcV3
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnq5JjidD0
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8CPdO9MJj
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnJcOrg2Js
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLnGDojgI
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF5JrYUi9n
After all, she talks about him so happily.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSFtBLakUj
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAx0tOekY
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfmmNdySta
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaB39NccQX
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fentzzcsy
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIc0hy0UJ0
Jello : "Okay!"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwtJ3vrz3G
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwOiYdarX
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0oi0cV38g

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbBmcAJLkx
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG3tjWorBd
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctzQGeXLMQ
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMhVZIR6K
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqqTzDzbb1
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FRuWcbWZI
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEzH2ZFmp
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TiiHdwMEd
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKseLczoSh
Jello : "Uhm..."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccDKyELC2
Pudding has always been like that.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohEUWIkYKR
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5yllN7nJQ
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9EVyQd6Q3

687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEhpuabQQC
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr0RYdvo9f
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwFlBGgXZ2
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSyiUEazU0
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUljuqOmkd
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhq8LT2fP
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aCa4jbkAA
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaFzcIS4BJ
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGYIiOQVV
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhief2gtnn
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2CWAzuLGH
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeyXTTfsRZ
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxuOmpkkck

687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR1OxMk7V3

This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBV1uVR905
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.

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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieWU6neBpW
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.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvFLBskRzL
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRbD8S8Ddi
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcyrKhlAUY
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YlOdWzyrM
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Zng2NZpn
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsipjvKKKev
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFV0VdgR4N
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8PVdXgO4b
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHGUXUtaEq
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj4Ptr3GBP
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFykq0TlxY
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy6DbIO7bq
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.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij8PUmbDIN
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ9NoqSpRO
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlew1hpWAi
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dKKJgPLOA
Child : "So it was you!~"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIj994I2UK
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlME3KFZBDh
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNsdfJzG13
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mvt2TyCNB
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOHqO04378
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r820IFWde
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw16jSxgdd
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ikxNa2yk
Jello was completely taken aback.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJPNw2jbhh
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjURiAWCsHc
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioVt0iMufb
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwje6PukwI
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGisrufBoT
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zZDr0svI2
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOgh70VQ4e
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SAdpZ8iLh
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIca1M584b
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPWOhpjiik
Jello waved her hands frantically.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyGofSuhQA
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."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oj5pYX7dm
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTfTi06hAL
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF5cjLEhON
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEADMBy8Nrk
Jello said with a smile.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0AqC3nc3V
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtQBPeLgUG
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEouhSS9wy
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnNE6uZoM1
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda398j9l72
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQjEXOK5Kz
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GKCEJSepF
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
