Original Text: [scans]
This is the prologue to S2 Novel 2. I translated a chunk of it earlier, but now that I actually know what’s going on I think it makes a bit more sense. Also, this is another case of first person internal monologue and 3rd person narration not being differentiated explicitly in the text–I’ve ittalicized Revive’s thoughts, though, again, I could be reading some of those lines into 1st person when they should be 3rd. Also, I fucking love novel Regene. I would pay just to hear Paku and Saiga do that bit at the end.
Just now, I learned how I was born.
At the same time, a large amount of information was being sent into my mind.
During refinement, it seems like lots of information is crammed in, there’s still enough space to further update information.
That’s achieved through a quantum brainwave link.
Revive Revival hopped out of the open cultivation capsule, still naked, and looked around the room.
Many cultivation capsules just like the one I was in are lined up [along the wall].
Inside are the figures of those who have yet to be born.
Among them, none were “Information Collection Types,” they were all “Combat Types.”
From the stored data, he called forth the most suitable item.
The capsule I’m looking at right now… The name of the person inside it is “Hiling Care.”
The same as Ribbons Almark, Base Sequence 0026 Type.
In the neighboring capsule is Devine Nova.
And next to that is Bring Stabity.
Base Sequence 0666 Type.
At any rate, what a naming sense!
Healing, Revival, Regeneration, Rebirth, Care, Stability.
Whoever created us seems to have been quite taken with Aeolia’s plan.
The destruction of the present world by Celestial Being.
With that first stage accomplished, it’s moving into the second stage.
We were created to accelerate the second stage.
Apostles of the resurrection of the world.
That’s the meaning of my existence.
For that reason.
Understanding everything, Revive continued walking in order to set out on his mission.
Suddenly, his feet stopped.
Because the person with the same Base Sequence as him was there.
My other half? So to speak.
And yet, being a female model…
Sex controls the thoughts of humans.
She isn’t “neuter” like me, instead she was given an expressly biased “sex.”
There’s only one reason such an imperfect person would be manufactured.
For special missions….. When I think about it like that, there’s no mistake.
Well, do it well, female me…..
Revive averted his eyes from the person still sleeping in the capsule who looked just like him, and calmly went to leave the room.
But someone was loitering in the doorway.
Someone with purple hair, glasses and an aloof smile on his face for some reason.
Revive announced this thing’s name.
“…. Base Sequence 0988 type…. Regene Regetta….”
“It seems like you link with Veda regularly…”
Regene murmured in a voice that sounded like a machine finishing a system diagnostic.
Revive stared at Regene.
Just like me, he’s something that was created for the mission.
An apostle of rebirth.
Regene resumed walking as if to urge Revive to follow.
“So, let’s go, the executor of Aeolia’s plan is waiting for you.”
“…. Ribbons Almark….”
Revive muttered the name the thing awaiting them up ahead.
“… Can I ask you one question?”
“What could it be?”
“…. Ribbons Almark, if he’s the same as us, why is he the one to execute the plan? ….there’s no answer in Veda…”
“Excellent question.”
Regene stopped walking and turned to Revive.
“…He’s definitely…”
“…definitely….?”
With a defiant smile, Regene said,
“…become something like a god…”
