 Auntie's life is coming to an end. That's what my grandmother said. She said so herself, so I guess she is not mistaken.

 I feel sad about that. However, it is a matter of course that all living things will die one day. And even though I feel sad, I want to make sure that my grandmother will be able to leave in peace. I want her to have a good time because I love her.

 Because I want her to live happily, I have discussed this with everyone since the time when she said she did not have long to live. I don't know how long she will actually live, but I want her to enjoy her days until then.

 Just the thought of losing my grandmother makes me sad, but I try not to look sad in front of her. I wanted her to smile at me so that I would be able to leave for my trip in peace.

 I asked Sipho to make a fire and I am making a soup that is easy to eat there.

 At first, Ran said she would make it with me, but she is not good at cooking, so she decided to do her best to make the trip more enjoyable for my grandmother in a different way.

 Neither Kayu nor Shinomi will say a word about the possibility of losing their grandmother. Probably because they would be sad and cry if they did. I don't talk about it either. I just try to enjoy my daily life so that my grandmother can have a good time.

 That is also why I asked Biller and the others, the winged ones, not to come here for a while. Perhaps reflecting their desire to say goodbye to us alone, since then they have not been able to find our village even if they tried to come. I think the power of the divine child is ...... really strange.

 After she collapsed, she has been on the bed ever since. She was not necessarily unable to stand up and walk, but her body seemed to be in a lot of pain. When I see her like that, I realize that she is going to be gone, and I feel sad. But I try not to show that feeling.

 I may never have another chance to tell you how much I love you, Auntie. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just go out and buy a new one. People will die someday. ...... That is why I thought again as I looked at my grandmother that if I have the chance to tell her how I feel, I must do so.

 After she passed away, everyone who had spent time trying to make her happy burst into tears. It was because they were very sad to think that Obaba-sama was no longer with us. I can't see her smile anymore. We can no longer hear her voice. I was sad because of that fact.

 Her death was very peaceful. It was not a sudden death like Athos', but a death after the life of a living being. Ms. Lan said that it was a happy thing to die peacefully in one's lifetime.

 --I think it is sad that people die, but it is a blessing to die peacefully. I am afraid of dying. I want to live more and spend time with everyone. But I wonder if someday, when I am older, I will be able to understand how it feels to die peacefully like my grandmother.
