A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl6nVyprfc
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEBRUeyEyI
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKQ90acVk
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotP12r9S45
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfineqpZW4
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSipPw1P0j
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAp7AdjSAe
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDIrfUap0
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwqs1Guzah
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH4ZaqQLvg
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ybDSrDX1F
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuAA0kmSlR
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlShQeqdmN9
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..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNn25qrjKS
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmtaJaTO5
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nw9C7Lb6W
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlndFZlHN
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaM29GJAQZ
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwOhzgm7GC
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...
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zGcRIJ7s0
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRy0tTODdr
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFuaoSsINb
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hvaIHLhM4
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcDnL6PPyn
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXpqk627qA
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWpRo8t5hO
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW2R4hfguQ
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviNsbtjawD
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGuvXpxL3I
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGu4OjRxh
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK8cuS3WIS
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHARnhgf0i
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VfCuQCy98
I said with my face beaming.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5yHKzW7oS
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NZIPdKmiv
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthFcAxwnVl
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepyAOwcoKx
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTccdGxT0hV
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqhgWAZQiW
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzkbSeRN7X
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBrDHdYmw
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs9M59TvIr
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FkkZw2PH8
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMclvnOF2b
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBeegHZSx3
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzibGOxKJI
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a7T46fpto
On the front of the envelope was my name.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZcASmX09
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k0EA2QMZu
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVTHZeGx4F
I opened it carefully.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ardHn3Nc9
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dd6bNH2L4
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPodaV19cz
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVdxLl8EYf
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi76ddiiQO
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..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3tT0yEZF
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfRYtW15YY
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlqF1iNVZ3
"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?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbUuINRRqF
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg89PELKnLp
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRTsQD4FAY
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2tfcovK5
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg8bSDgMR9
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSikcladW
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzE3mhkDBh
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqvcq3pljo
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLnrMptBhj
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHekcx5cjr
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva25JLivu8
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ663UEItrSr
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW81fDfh0C
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi0mRrSooA
A few days later, I received another letter.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7orcKKy2f3
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoJITCcQKI
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTglhi2JCiL
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfgUv5AXs
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4t99XX8dP
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUYbMk95ws
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX15QbR082q
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7VedkFrbH
Pudding : "Any good news?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPMCZDZkuA
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDqlQSwG0
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSD1ogcZPe
Pudding said calmly.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhMX1LRK7W
Oh.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmk1K5NiuQ
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKMVc2SHS5
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX2f24MFNA
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJX07OX02z
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN33j2mD80u
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitpaNeepbq
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o9kIW9zNl
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgV2hBgwEE
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgykuyNIw
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkcM22pfA9
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGsKdzrJo0
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvuRyIrShY
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsNmU79k2T
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7LExW1xL0
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwigoSUJqhi
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3J5rJf9ID
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ9efM58g4
After all, she talks about him so happily.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm731CHhTt
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwceJe8o9Vm
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67HDBuwIw4
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E7HGv3koG
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlmuhOKQt
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB4kVnMBqu
Jello : "Okay!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y1Q2axeNH
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChAeOoumng
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8jLr3SA4

Putting it that way, the words just mystified me.

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5tU4ZGNm
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DkrleeGcj
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCEe2I2tTH
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSil0J16wUn
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTDbdQi7lG
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PphNsONP6
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5WkkuJDN
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJrJGxDukv
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQafoDOGjBb
Jello : "Uhm..."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4zO7TsIB3
Pudding has always been like that.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBI32z4zbP
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0R1bF4tbX
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxvqMawPZZ
Jello : "Okay...?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYPE77HX2w
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCkjlunaW
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg0wboj397
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrVUPJxnp0
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmItCdDfeiS
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRG67nudKm
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrM1W8tT7G
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbUcpfjzXl
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPIKyhFNZw
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcSLPwEipc
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2DAft6Mmd
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvp2HwycX4
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGAeyImRly
The stage would be all lit up next.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtdc4NuREa
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8k3SvOqs1
It was a familiar routine, yet this time i felt a different kind of energy running through me.

"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl8IeUkyvV
The audience cheered loudly, and the music started, ringing out across the expanse of the auditorium.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20h25opTWA
Lacy, can you hear it?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxKyGbHVrE

500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91A5H1pQUT
(Out of the blue, I had a recollection, a flash of a distant, long forgotten memory floating up to the surface of my mind.)

Eh? Was that... Jello's voice?
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pumFdk4Gg
The concert was a smash hit, just as planned.
But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6jxNmp07n
But my eyes had been moistened as if sweat had entered them.

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SR9GLGgIN
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWdGd4ssql
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy4kNiSh4P
The weathered buildings looked like they had already been abandoned, so it was surprising that there was still a road through the lush forest
In a way, it was like the trees were covering the road.
As she thought this, suddenly she let out a gleeful laugh.

Exploring this road, it was like she had discovered a whole new world.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnq4nvUaNL
Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZaFobybKE
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIg0uUBqTx
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLflTL3kM3
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ310ySJYiT
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmxDj03aPv
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPILRe9oyG
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxPzsLRbma
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqlFgtCGod
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6vMoFHNZ3
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywNhyUM07a
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL9WSllUue
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQOZqpcMI
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.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI1VzdUhEn
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj58QZX8err
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1V2NU1qc
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTyw3XeaKB
Child : "So it was you!~"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6zo0g4j4p
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TIh7CKcdh
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBxZWE0mVd
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn8DsRrsRb
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1WrXL9g8V
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTDRAiDb9J
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1JNKKexWd
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt6SmvlIFb
Jello was completely taken aback.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QkvSBfCpt
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fqvpdAgs5
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmKJElMAna
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmT37d3oy4
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dE3u9WVIK
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDxx64dcCk
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuKxIsqCp0
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiG948vt2g
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPZgaUZ8H
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSj5IpTgXo
Jello waved her hands frantically.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ7LkSvMDF
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."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMcfOB7Chh
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601VM5U5QE
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2f1d6CZ34
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF5xRGONZJ
Jello said with a smile.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcd7Ncxmw
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YFLqhMwWU
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmPoA3AaWr
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHYTrTRkp
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBIzC1KTj
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zLn2jlUyW
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkbKngsrpu
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxLA2OvH2n
