Thank you for translating this all the way to the end, Snowy Scans. It was not updated for so long, that I had forgotten the entire story and had to re-read it over again from the beginning, but I don't regret doing so.
The ending was somewhat predictable, but I can see why the author didn't want to do anything that might make readers dissatisfied. In all honestly, I feel like it was probably the right decision. An ending that was different just for the sake of being different is often much worse than a "traditional" one.
