Tell us why, given life, we are meant to die, helpless in our cries?

i just wanna say i love their drip in the final page
Rather than going to die, I wanted to say she is expecting to die or visualizing her death, that's what she is making it seem like

No, they already killed the demon king before the manga started. She is retracing her journey with Himmel before any trace fades away, in order to better understand who he was; in addition, in ch 7 she discovered Flamme's diary, where she told that it is possible to meet the deceased's souls in a place near the demon king's castle, so another reason to go there.
For everyone who complains about the indefinite hiatus:
Usually, they(the authors)'ve seemingly been using them as a way to plan the story further and to work on the anime. They also do deserve a break, writing a beautiful and incredible story like Frieren's definitely not something that happens out of the blue and requires constant planning in order to maintain it's high quality.
This isn't some case of D.Gray-Man or Berserk or HxH. We know, for a fact, that the authors are working in close partnership with the team at Madhouse. Everytime they've announced a break, it was easily attributable to the anime. In this case, I think it's for all the aforementioned reasons: It's the holidays, it's for the anime planning and it's for their own planning. They might also be taking a bit of a headstart on the current arc to make sure everything they're going to do works and to reduce the workload down the line for the artist. The ball outfits probably take a decent amount of time to draw on their own, now the artist also has to work out how to draw them mid-action scenes and still have them looking good and consistent.
Anywho, let's give the usual applause for an excellent chapter. I loved Frieren's "Drop Dead" to Serie and I absolutely loved how we learned that Sense's wish was used for a spell that would let her sleep soundly after having to kill people. More character development for the side cast along with the main cast and this is why I absolutely LOVE this series.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS/CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE! May the New Year see you all and yours in good health and may success follow in your footsteps.

They are journeying to go back to the northern most part of the world which is where the former demon king was to talk one more time with Himmel

The demon King is, as far as we know, dead.
Frieren is however going to were his Castle is because allegedly there is something there that allows you to talk to the dead, and she wants to talk to HImmel one last time. IIRC
"The teacher must die" is a classic trope and one that works well for many types of stories, but even great stories don't always execute this part in satisfying ways. There are small details and nuance in the way that Serie is prepared to die. The flags and setups are done in ways that try to convince us why she will or should die. If true, her death would be more satisfying (or less unsatisfying) than just following a trope. For example, Serie gives out reasons why she picked these mages to guard her, what she wishes to see for the future, etc. These are also subtle reasons why she should die (subtle for the characters, less so for us). This is great because she's literally giving us reasons to accept her death, and it's a part of the future she wishes for. In turn, we are more likely to accept her death (provided the rest of this plotline is also executed well).
On a side note, the author is so goated that I wouldn't be surprised if he used all the flags as a red herring or bait & switch on us, and that he has something else planned for the story. Plus, Sense could always die later or the problem of the teacher role gets resolved some other way.

Indefinite break? I hope it's because of season 2 anime and not because of the author's health...
Not fear, she knows

Yeah, Serie is going to die. Far too many death flags to ignore.
Indefinite hiatus... I don't know why, I don't feel too peeved because of not having new chapters. Because above all, I wish for the author to be healthy and well.
It sucks to have a beloved series ended prematurely because of its authors' health.

My opinion? Serie thinks she's going to die, and only sees one way out of it. She picked the students she did because she knows that if she'd picked students with more of her own mindset, they would die fighting alongside her. These students are independent enough that they'll probably survive.
As for why she offered Frieren the opportunity to bail? Because Frieren is that one way out, and Serie isn't sure she wants to take it...
