A stretch of golden beach.
An expanse of azure sky and blue sea.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU5gDZPWTX
The sun has just dipped below the horizon of the glittering sea, and a cool breeze blows against our faces.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC9icuYAFr
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovSQMyAUQd
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU8bAa8MKU
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TdLILUazE
Behind me is a trail of footprints marking where i have just been, which will soon be overcome by the waves.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgB0HgANd9
Suddenly, my foot strikes a hard object.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnmhLMQYva
Looking down, i realized that it was a bottle with a yellow ribbon tied around it.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L4xEtHVUu
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQstXdUcVmF
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvwWoPStkO
The message in the bottle was sent back to sea once again. Suddenly, the sea was lit up in dazzling sparkles by the sunlight.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfMUygTJPl
Pudding : "What are you thinking of?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGEpEhX0M8
That soft but slightly aloof tone couldn't be more familiar.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWc5mF9E14
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..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUcHlUhXd
Jello : "Heh heh~, i knew i would run into you today!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V6mViN95p
Jello :
"Okay.. why don't you take it easy today? Tomorrow's itinerary is finished."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpP0gf6CpI
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvnytwXu2C
He began to talk about the next week's journey.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpi8nHM6jm
Jello :
"What about the letter? Have you received it?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Gk8E09dZ
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...
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCFnwmmPzI
Pudding : "Sorry, i did not."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDCkT9FOE
Whenever I ask Pudding about it, the answer is always the same.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97gQTPSOFZ
Pudding :
"Right.. it's been a long time, I guess she's living happily then."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnd3TAGnTw
Jello : "Uhm, yeah."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYiZeCyLTU
My favorite of Pudding's expressions is that feigned smile of his.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2UqZfJhhj
But I guess we should go back a few years to start the story.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5q6vAbzld
At that time, I had just gone from obscurity to full blown it-girl status.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG0jkQMoUr
I was an overnight sensation.
Lucky for me, everyone had fallen for my songs, which made all the hard work worth it.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfvsYHn9AD
I gradually got used to that hectic life and the schedule Pudding made for me.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GWPIvqdIH
Cause i've always believed that, as long as I could go onstage, my music could put a smile on everyone's faces.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCPH9D8okp
Puddind : "Are you tired?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo2BstVKbb
Pudding handed a cup of tea to me after my autograph signing.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOIo5wlEVw
Jello :
"Um.. no, not tired at all~ I always get a blast of energy when i meet with my fans in public!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ210EjCHbOo
I said with my face beaming.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kbJVDoYUt
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC4VXtw0Si
Pudding :
"I am your manager. I do everything with you in mind, don't force yourself."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8frXebRrG
Jello :
"Oh it's okay, don't worry! Their smiles are my wellsprings of life.."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bpbEeqUuw
I could hear just the slightest hint of a sigh in Pudding's voice, then I went and picked up a huge shopping bag.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbwt9DJZv
Pudding :
"These are gifts from the fans."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ9ACt9vv0
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrGhVdpHMA
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV8Pu912xd
Although i haven't been there so often recently, i still wanted to give something to the children.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCBiZ9ooWV
Pudding didn't say a single word, he just took out a green envelope from the bag.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBADo6V7Ge
Pudding :
"I don't think this is supposed to go to the orphanage."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMCZ7npNS3
And with that, Pudding turned around and walked out.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb9RXCwJAi
I was left alone there, staring at the letter lying on the table.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BnHMu5w3S
The paper the words were written on looked pretty rough, and even the envelope was folded by hand.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOqqsrwC7I
On the front of the envelope was my name.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYSMFQS5LG
It was scrawled in what looked like a kid's messy handwriting.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSaKemQoI
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86fbIDuzL1
I opened it carefully.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYq6FraQSq
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX1a4l2NvQ
Was this their address? I couldn't help thinking that way.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYrNHbSqrH
I stared blankly at the letter, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzADXsnl5w
Pudding :
"So they want you to write back?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsFizv7XQm
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..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUU8X40lZy
Jello :
"A letter..? They want me, Jello, to write one?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDsatduyDr
In that instant, I couldn't understand one word of what Pudding was saying.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscqkamppX6
"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?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcABrRLkJo
Pudding :
"They're exactly like all the other fans you see from the stage, aren't they?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocZVvTBdHZ
Jello : "Like a fan... meeting?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPaBCGag9b
It was at that very moment that it hit me.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN64nOMHom
Jello : "Oh! I get it. Thanks, Pudding!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY6fPUO0XU
That night, i picked up a pen and looked at the yellow-green stationery with every intention of writing to them.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QUOw4pjKG
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsfaAwUGi
So I put down the stationery, used a new piece of paper, and put my pen to good use.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh47oa8DEU
'This is Jello. How should I address you?'
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHKSkh8Q9S
This was the first time I had such a strange feeling.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUxYJZYh2K
I didn't know if the person who would receive this letter would be able to feel my anticipation.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJyaoYV35E
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF8hadZrQp
Now with this person, i can only communicate through letters.
It makes me feel nervous for absolutely no reason i could understand.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO30atYgYvB
I was in this mood when I handed the letter to Pudding.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FQkUtZkpO
A few days later, I received another letter.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqegqeFQLx
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kiMwsbLl7
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBEyjHbqnj
It resembled more like a note that people passed casually passed around, but it made its way into my heart without even trying.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeUNTLsVg5
It felt like an inexplicable sense of intimacy had shortened the distance between our hearts.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3qktkSlU8
I never knew that writing to someone could bring such intense pleasure.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQN9Tu0jNS
I haven't really had a nice conversation with anyone since the death of my Master Attendant.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPLDV5aY6h
So this time i quickly wrote a reply and like last time, i gave it to Pudding.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWuZ9GkIUs
Pudding : "Any good news?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ801FOcTqX3
Jello :
"Yes! Heh heh~ The girl who wrote to Jello said she likes my music."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6j3SrWadG
Pudding :
"Yes, I like it too."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEQXOZPptB
Pudding said calmly.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dGyNsn0XP
Oh.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0dfNYim0S
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k1fpkspYX
It was as if i gained a new hope in my life from the letters Lacy sent me.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzIayrCtIR
I began receiving them at the rate of about one every other day, the topics of conversation waxed increasingly routine with each letter.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRRUyPO0MM
So often it feels like I'm dreaming, that i feel such familiarity with her yet i haven't known her for very long.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJoS3HPnSk
We confided in each other like girls whispering their secrets to one another, late into the night, during a slumber party.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZgucd9Wp
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqAQYRcXzQ
Lacy replies that Pudding is a reliable person, and a lovable klutz.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENAp88vEpN
Of course i know Pudding is a reliable guy. But i don't think that 'klutz' is the right word to describe him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzz4vRN2f
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnjl08K8zW
But if i had to mention a shortcoming, it would be that he never smiles.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Kfc7BjKu
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAWslQQZy7
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUkVl9lnQR
Lacy always tells me the juicy details about Joel.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JgFk6S7kx
It's as if she wants to reminisce her memories about him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEru7vqQhqD
Unlike the coldly logical and rational Pudding, Joel is a raucus but gentle fool.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuGihbcfKo
At least that's how Lacy described him, even though i know that she's probably sweet on him.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo85aZ54Q3
After all, she talks about him so happily.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvJFfgUILj
Pudding :
"What are you giggling about?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXJhPirwc
Pudding's voice is always so cool and indifferent.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaevXZo7mtb
Jello : "I didn't giggle, Tee hee~"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvGtLUyT5Z
I don't know if it's just me, or if a faint smile actually cracked Pudding's lips.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqygEV6X9Gb
Pudding :
"Don't space off. Get ready, we need to get going."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9LJ6rVZdr
Jello : "Okay!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZdXGcWFEV
I practically flew out of my seat and couldn't hide the smile on my face.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RPzQrDWMc
It turns out, this would be the last time i would ever receive a letter from Lacy.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2eWifosd4

Jello :
"Pudding, where is the island that Lacy wants to go to?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKuZFpU4UO
I leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9iCteBjWj
With an air of serious earnestly, i asked Pudding to tell me what was on the agenda.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJLGTYdwpY
Pudding :
"It's probably somewhere very far away."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcae6q6mSLX
Jello :
"Pudding, you really don't know where it is? Jello is curious about it.."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIq02uVj2T
Jello :
"So if you know, please tell me alright?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU0l1C1e1C
Pudding :
"Don't think too much about it, just take a break."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVp8CIClhj
Pudding :
"You still need to deal with the media."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QFAJFv79a
Pudding closed his notebook and stood, immediately making a beeline for the exit.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nw8xRwcKR
Jello : "Uhm..."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa46pRG4xSq
Pudding has always been like that.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34jdD8EUUw
He finds excuses to avoid the questions that he doesn't want to answer.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjMW9e1w6O
"If you want to have no regrets, invite her to come listen to your songs. That would be the best gift of all."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wacURA6Bw
Jello : "Okay...?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1VAhaOvTP
I answered without thinking, startled as i was by Pudding suddenly coming back into the room.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfppJk3Uia2
Jello : "Re..regrets? Me..? Jello?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sY0cxWshx
I don't know why this night seemed longer than other nights.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkGMcnwIT
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPedFjAjhtY
Has time really flashed by so quickly?
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRxYelkyrs
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuICxI2iaUt
I waited.. And yet there was no reply from Lacy.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHQgJJaHn
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJrEWHjzq
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzV2Qdvn4M
In my mind, i could imagine the sweet and cute girl with a pretty smile that Lacy must be..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvXhRqGCk
Still, I couldn't find her by what i saw in my imagination alone.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyItONs0JfO
The lights of the auditorium dimmed, and I could no longer see the people's faces.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YzZXsnarI
The stage would be all lit up next.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshU6mKnyCf
A shining, brilliant world that would soon belong to me.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVgD2nPsW

"Hello everybody~ I am your Jello! Today, Jello's soft and sweet songs will put a smile on your face!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsmocw4uJT

501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDXFKX8Nk
Lacy, can you hear it?
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTadMz9eYm

But when all was said and done, Lacy was nowhere to be seen.

Jello was walking down the street by herself.
This was the first time she'd come here since her Master Attendant had passed.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi2XjUmSf7
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Z6D352VG
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Q0Xxy39d
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.

Following the moonlight, she came to an open space set back a bit from the old road.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4DPoaGu6z
Even though it was surrounded by trees, the moon could still be seen through the branches and leaves.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf6PPJ5Q8m
Jello really liked this spot, it was peaceful and beautiful.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Bw44YGGe
She felt an urge to sing, like she had just stepped out onto an enormous stage.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclaSUqght7
The light of the moon was like a spotlight shining down her through the leaves.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBgHBEOUaN
In the future, she would often come here to this secret spot late at night to sing.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9V1GNX7FK
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYqMj96UDU
The two children seemed to be whispering about something.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErgexg98LN
She was startled, but she couldn't just ignore them.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ZwJ5ihlN
"Hello there. Isn't it awfully late for you to be out here? Your parents must be worried sick~"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwKJR6wLKv
Child :
"We.. don't.. have.. a.. mom.. or.. a dad.."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK6RjQgGKx
the brown-haired blue-eyed girl replied.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5FFf26aF
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.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv3RXolb6A
All of a sudden the girl tugged on Jello's sleeve and asked..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gksHTxtGj
Child :
"Miss.. are you.. the one who.. has been.. singing here?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwehIAJ5Rs
"Mmhm, that's me!"
Jello answered with a smile.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dyxX8EsM
Child : "So it was you!~"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4hThUAae
A rare smile appeared on the girl's face, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be sparkling in her eyes.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO5tkXHD6K
The girl turned her hand, took the boy's hand, and then said in a comforting tone of voice..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6CShEu0Lh
Child :
"Joel.. see.. i told you.. you'd see.. an angel.."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8yxyBEEAs
The boy smiled shyly at the girl and nodded.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWudnOPq6j6
"I could.. hear.. your voice...i heard, your voice.. so clearly~"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdktAshWY0S
Suddenly the girl became more agitated, and even her gentle voice became hoarse.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAqPSIQ3zJ
Child :
"Is that how angel magic works? Can you help Joel speak?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W2vKGElOn
Jello was completely taken aback.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf34e1abzI8
Jello : "Uh...No, that's not..."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ6TdzVWxF
The stars in the girl's eyes went dark for a moment.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVg2nrkjRo
Child :
"The sisters, told me...God is, too busy, to hear our prayers.
So he sends angels to redeem us."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QQFWM6TFk
Child :
"So I waited and waited until the day I could clearly hear the sound."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QF1JndNpf
Jello : "I...I can't do things like that."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmSvgvFNcj
After listening to what I said the girl raised her head and asked, her voice even quieter..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMxzonW1fG
Child : "Is my wish too big?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fRf8yWfJ
Child :
"Then I don't need to be able to hear, just make Joel be able to speak. Can you do that?"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbJEKeQEnY
Jello : "I can't do anything like that."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMfvowffv4
Jello waved her hands frantically.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaXi3RdP94
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."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOKgt0THjn
Jello :
"So keep on smiling together~"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow35bN7Zsf
The girl stared at Jello, and her face softened, no longer on the verge of collapsing into sobs.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ugt4Zi3E
Jello :
"Oh! Right! I can sing for you! Maybe then an angel will come!"
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWO0cyyFly
Jello said with a smile.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHultgisKw8
The wind murmured through the trees, and music flowed through the leaves.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZXX4tJlG0
"Joel, this really is angel magic."
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg4Y32LQqa
The girl watched Jello sing in the moonlight, reflecting off her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyhls4sVtn
The boy, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the girl, silently nodded his head.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFDW7zU3UZ
When he looked back to Jello, the moon seemed to be working its own magic.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7cF3ikkHM
There was faint glow stretching out slowly behind Jello.
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpsy9qxVfm
As if she were spreading a pair of wings..
501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTJMxJglVW
【Jello - END】
