Explains why I thought she was a former noble at first. That last line of hers saying to continue sharing wonderful days with each other is already a gut punch given that I assume he's on his last legs. GOD I hope I'm wrong but this is Hamita sensei. Thanks for the translations.
Mmm... my guess from before is probably right isn't it? He's dead already or on death's door on her back and she's going to arrive at the home with him dead. Story's going to end with her being his slave even in death, guarding his grave like a loyal servant would or dying alongside him to follow his lead.
The fact that he still isn't healed after all this time means he's not likely to get better. His wound probably got infected or something and he's just barely holding out
Oh yeah, he's dead ain't he? And this being a Hamita story, it probably has something to do with the contaminated well water they drank before they went away from the previous city with the spring cult.
