Yomei Ichinen no Koushaku Shisoku wa, Tabi o Shitai - Vol. 2 Ch. 8

Literally the end of this chapter:

I'm glad Yona enthralled the doting maids; he needs and deserves that kindness in his life. Darkly part of me wants him to just die happy surrounded by the loved ones he's made at the end. I don't need the MC to be saved or cured; I just want him to realize that the neglect his family put him through isn't the norm. The MC isn't just "not a burden" that shouldn't even be something someone at his age should think about. Everything else is secondary to me. Maybe I would like his family coming to realize they mistreated a gem of a human being and see what'd happen to them if all the people the MC has met and will meet (by the end) found out how poorly they treated him. Otherwise, yeah, I don't want him to die and expect him to be cured. But like I said I just really want the boy to feel loved. Unconditionally loved at that.

I said it on a previous chapter - but I think the most impactful ending is Yona dying at the end of the year, but after having changed the course of countless peoples' lives, including the trajectory of nations (like with Prince Carlo's case, here), all for the better by virtue of not just his magic, but his unassailable kindness and sense of justice and moral good.
He moves on from helping Prince Carlo here, to assisting others he meets--commoners and nobility and royalty alike--all overawed by his magic, but who come to respect him for his bearing and his compassion, even more so.
And when he does finally reach the end of his road, he finds himself surrounded by everyone he'd met and helped and made friends with - Gunther his physician; Marguriete and her father; Carlo and Aurora & Priscilla; all the others we've yet to have introduced - and as he takes his last breath, it's nothing but a smile on his face and happy tears all around, and those whose lives he touched go on to see his legacy maintained even beyond the lands he himself traveled.

I don't personally care if his own family ever even show up again; maybe a footnote about how his former family's old domain came under new noble management and that realm is prospering, but there needn't be some punitive epilogue where his family suffers or is left destitute or anything. Because that would also go against what Yona stands for, if I'm being honest.

If Yona ends up saved and lives past this year, I think it could be done well in a way that doesn't involve "Ancient Magic Fiat" or something. And with how impactful his meeting with Marguriete was, I personally would be fine with them growing closer as they age and perhaps there being something there down the line.
But I don't think it's required, and Yona actually passing on and gaining immortality through the works he leaves behind would be rather poignant, and something you don't typically see in these sorts of stories that revolve around "Feel Good" narration.
It'd be bold on the author's part, and I'd applaud that move, personally.

Is it a bad ending for Carlo and his entire crew?

thank you for translating

The fact that no matter what,
Unless
A plot twist
A magic serum
A demonic pact
Nano machines Son
God(in this story) himself dogeza in front of MC
Tears of a mermaid
Paracellum
Hydra's blood
Brook's second life fruit
Heart of tarrasque
Or anything more, somewhat less or equal in matter
Our MC is going to die by the end of the manga
That saddens me

 

[R2D2TS]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Aoitenshi]

The time limit makes this manga compelling, but the fact that everyone seems to be intentionally made dumber to let MC shine bugs me a whole lot.

 

[screamdoom]

I admire his courage, but failed assessing threat is foolishness

Is this some WN spoiler for the rest of us?

Because it would make my soul feel easier if she left her noble house in order to follow him around and take care of him after Carlo's arc concludes.

That's a humongous monster! Logic dictates most of it is still underwater, for it to be able to raise its body above the surface like that. It's at least a kilometer long! Maybe even longer.

Or it wags its tail really really fast.

Thanks for the translation! It’s a shame that this manga is monthly…

No, that wasn't my intention at all -- merely making reference to this series.

Those clothes with the leaves necklace look so cool and breezy... I wish it was something common here, but no, it's necessary to use a blazer and a tie to something fancy even if it's over 30°C.

 

[YamiRi]

I know that it is the best for plot for Yona to die at the end but I feel like if he ended up crippled because of disease instead of died, the story is still good. I just don't want him to be gone after 1 year of adventuring.

The only way is pretty much to edit your second post and make it look credible enough so people won't call it out for double posting. If you managed to change it before anyone else posted a comment, the "Last edited" timestamp won't even appear at the bottom.

P.S. That said, the quote notification is sent the moment you post the reply.
