I'm just mentally preparing myself for a tragic ending.

You and me both. Shit hurts

 

[KuroKurome]

It would be a bad thing, if Shiori were to get a side effect after keeping Hinako alive with her blood.
but at least with that Hinako won't waste the life given by Shiori after sacrificing herself.
but idk, i just love Miko chan so much. 🙄

You're not alone. I've been thinking about ways to break that new blood oath without breaking it... I'm too invested in this 😭

Thank you for your work!

Thanks for the translation.

The goddamn cliffhanger…

 

[gearoi92]

Last chapter, too, i find it alarming how so many people are unable to read between the lines and seem to take everything at face value. The message of this whole manga is how to cope with loss and find meaning in life again. All the actions, and this chapter also, signal towards a happy ending even when the theme is tragedy and tragic things happen. Thats part of the process. To think that she gets eaten after finding happiness again, that would, based on the last almost 30 chapters, not make sense at all. Im still unsure how much yuri we will get in the end but the probability of Hinako dying in some tragic way is 1%.

I’d like to think so far the premise was built on the lie that she needs to be happy so she can die, she really couldn’t force herself and it blew up. But I fail to see how this new pact is any different aside from the mermaid being even more self-sacrificial about this whole thing. Hinako will still be pursuing happiness with the veneer or longing for death.
Maybe Miko will be the key to changing that. Part of Hinako wants to hope for at least something, but most of her just finds existing to be a burden.

@gearoi92 whilst I agree that the whole point is Hinako surviving in a less destructive way, there’s plenty of other ways to end in tragedy without her dying.

 

[OnewingedMasios]

As much as people are implying Hinako dying will be the tragedy, I think people are glossing over the fact that Hinako is suffering from untreated PTSD and survivor's guilt from the tragedy that already occured. To Hinako living is a fate worse than death, with the revelation of her surviving only adding to her guilt. Hinako is slowly just becoming a hallowed out doll where death might not even have meaning anymore. That feels much more devestating than her dying while still being a tragedy in the end...

Im talking about a happy ending in my post, the dying part is what the pact is about, so im referencing that. Anything else than a happy end will make zero sense, you could just have not made all this buildup and the work in itself in the first place.

Im talking in absolutes here because anyone that wrote a story once or knows how to construct future events in narratives will tell you that this is a dark story aiming towards a happy end, even if bittersweet (which i hope it wont be). If you are one of the commentors (not you im replying to specifically, just generally) that came out from the last chapter thinking its all over then i dont know how to explain it and i honestly dont even want to.

I think hinako will find meaning in being alive again, but I think it'll be at the cost of either shiori or miko, but this time being older she will be able to handle it "better" and understand their wish for her to live on

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

I love that last panel, "if I left them to themselves , things could get more problemactic"... Thanks for the translation

I feel like to avoid the pledge of eating the MC Shiori (I learned her name!) will have to either sacrifice half of her powers and become weak or just die herself

 

[yanderecoverl]

Thats crazy they really said that to Miko without problems
