T.L This novel is translated from the Chinese version of light novel (Tsukurareshi Inochi to Kirei na Sekai) to English.
You might wonder why I chose to use my source from Chinese this time? Because Chinese is my native language so it is 3x faster for me to translate from Chinese > English as compared to j.a.panese > English. Rest a.s.sure, I am quite confident that this translation would be even better than my j.a.panese > English.
If you are uncomfortable with j.a.panese > Chinese > English, then please skip this post. Enjoy ~
Prologue: The first ray of light
Under the eye glaring sun ray, [I] opened my eyes.
After slowly getting adapted to the sun ray, what entered my vision was the lush green forest, blue sky, fluffy white clouds, and —
[Good morning…!]
And a young man smiling while greeting me. Silently standing behind him, was a young lady smiling at me.
I do not understand why, but [I] immediately knew they were the one that woke me up, they were the one that called me.
… However, their expression slowly became filled with sadness.
[–However, I am sorry…]
(…Why? Why was their face full of sorrow…?)
I wanted to stretch my hand towards them… but my body was unable to move freely.
[You are an (Artificial living being)… so you do not have the blessing of the G.o.ddess, is an abnormal existence…was something created by the desire of the human, a (man-made being)…]
And behind the young man with face full of sorrow, the young lady showed an expression full of concern.
[But…even if you do not have the blessing of the G.o.ddess, I can, no we can, still bring plenty of happiness to you… so…!!]
…Tears, fell on my shoulders, that… those tears felt so warm… so, I knew that those were not [tears of sorrow] but [tears of happiness].
…Although I do not understand the meaning behind their words, but…
(…But, I could feel it… their concern for me…)
[ — Being able to meet you, I felt happy from the bottom of my heart. Welcome to this world - (Iris)]
([Iris]… is that…my name…?)
The young girl standing behind, had an expression of holding back her tears but still smiled beautifully at me.
I do not understand the meaning of [Blessing of the G.o.ddess], but I understand the meaning of [Blessing].
(Hence, I do not need the [Blessing of the G.o.ddess]… I just need your [Blessing]…)
— This was what I felt from the bottom of my heart, I wanted to tell you that — but, how do I tell you…?
Also…I did not know…how to address such a gentle person.
— Please… do not worry about me. I want you… to be happy… I wanted to express my feelings, but… I did not know how to express my feelings. Just when I was worrying about such matters —
(—Eh?… Un, I know… I could probably say that…?)
A [gentle breeze] sweep pa.s.sed me and the young man, giving me a warm feeling like his smile. It then gave me an idea of a prank as it seemed to tell me what to do.
— Hence, I tried speaking with my mouth that could still not articulate well, even if it was just for a bit, I still wanted to tell you —
[…Tha…nk…you…pa…pa…]
[…!]
It took me great efforts to squeeze out my voice… and both of them showed a shocked expression.
(They heard me…)
I felt relieved, but also suddenly felt sleepy…
(Could they understand… my feelings…? … It would be great, if they could…)
I felt my consciousness became blurry… I also felt that papa picked up and carried me.
(…So warm…ah…)
I am surrounded by [Blessing], and I felt into a deep sleep once again.
[ — I felt happy from the bottom of my heart being able to meet you. Congratulation for being born - (Iris)]
[… Tha.. Thank you… (Pa, pa)…]
[She actually… called me (Papa)…]
