The day, of the moon of God in the sky. It is my birthday. The name of the moon is the name of God. I heard that they use the names of famous gods. Lan told me that in many small villages, the counting of dates is ambiguous. But I think my village had a proper way of thinking about such dates.
I can say that it was for my sister's sake, like to celebrate her ...... birthday. Also, my parents knew how to count the dates. That is also why my sister's birthday was celebrated properly.
When I came to this beastman's village, I didn't care what day of the month it was. But it seems that Mr. Lan knew what day of the month it was even after we left the capital. Amazing.
When I woke up on my ...... birthday, I was very excited. I was so happy to see him. I was happy. I was happy, but anxious, I thought. It was the first time I had ever been celebrated.
I got up and was about to head out to wash my face when there was a knock at the door of my house. I answered and Gaius opened the door and walked in.
Lerunda, good morning!
Good morning.
Are you on your way to wash your face now?
Yes, I am.
I went outside with Gaius. I get some water from the well and wash my face. Gaius stands by my side.
Lelunda, let's go!
Where, to?"
I had been thinking that I hadn't seen any sign of everyone since I stepped out of the house. It was strange that I couldn't see the griffons or the seafoats. I continued on my way with Gaius pulling me by the hand.
We headed for the square in the center of the village.
Everyone was there. Everyone saw me and wished me a happy birthday.
Mr. Lan was smiling. He smiled kindly and approached me, surprised that everyone wished me happy birthday at the same time.
Lelunda, happy birthday to you. I told everyone about it, and they all wanted to celebrate. Nilsi and the others.
I said, "...... children's birthdays are meant to be celebrated, and I'm just here to be here."
Nilsi replied, turning away when Mr. Lan looked at her.
It was the first time I had ever been told "Happy Birthday" on my birthday. I'd been told by Lan that he would celebrate, but to actually be told just one word, "Happy Birthday," was a shock to me.
I had never been told that before. It was something my sister had always said to me on my birthday. I had never been a part of birthday celebrations. I was surprised at how much I was happy just to be wished happy birthday by the people I love.
It made my heart warm.
"Lelunda, from me too! Congratulations!
Gaius, still holding my hand, smiles and tells me. I knew that his words came from the bottom of his heart, and they were very warm.
Nilsi-san hurriedly approached me and crouched down to meet my eyes.
I'm just happy.
I'm happy. Congratulations. That he congratulates me. It makes my heart warm.
What is it with you and crying because you're so happy just because someone says congratulations to you? ......
Mr. Nilsi patted me on the head while saying so. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at the pictures and see what you like. I was so happy by his kindness that I almost cried again. Everyone's kindness made me a crybaby.
Words from the heart. I felt really happy. To be congratulated. I was happy that the people I love said congratulations to me. That alone made me so happy that I couldn't help it.
I was so happy, and I was so happy that I could do that.
'What are you talking about ....... Happy just to congratulate you, or the celebration has only just begun. ......
'Lelunda, we've all made arrangements! So there's more to come."
Lelunda, we planned to give you the best birthday ever. Everyone has cooperated, so enjoy the party."
Nilsi, Gaius, and Ran say.
Have we just started? If I didn't understand the meaning of those words, I heard the voices of the griffons from behind me.
'Gururururu~ (Lelunda's birthday~)'
Gurugurugu~ (Celebration, celebration)
"Gururururu!" "Gururururu!"
The child griffons lined up beside me as they said this. I was made to sit on a chair in front of them. They sang a song I did not know. They sang a song I didn't know. Mr. Lan said, "It is a song sung on birthdays. I taught it to them.
I was happy that the little griffons sang such a song to celebrate my birthday.
The female beasts danced to entertain me, and everyone gave me gifts---for a long time, I felt as if I were dreaming from the moment I woke up.
Just being congratulated and being told "congratulations" was more happiness than I could ever imagine. But not only that, everyone gave me all kinds of things.
The meals were sumptuous, and among them were some of the things that Gaius and Athos had hunted and caught together.
I caught it with my father!
I was tempted to touch them when I saw their wagging ears and tails, but I held back. They all said things like, "I prepared these nuts for you," or "I got these for you," and they all smiled.
It was a day to celebrate my sister's birthday.
I was so happy that I had to rewrite it as a happy and joyful day for me.
Thank you, everyone.
I found myself saying, "Thank you.
"Everyone, I love you."
I was smiling as I said that. Everyone was smiling at me. They were smiling. It was a warm space. I was really happy.
It was a day like a dream.
I thought that day that I hope such a happy time and happy space will continue forever and ever.
----The Girl and Her Birthday 2
(Maybe it was a happy day for a girl who is a godchild)
