Thanks for the chapter and finishing this series, It would been nice to have an epilogue chapter, but it was a nice finale for the series.

@77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx The teacher was 'dead' because she has no body to return to.
Basically when Youngtsuki told her "GET OUT", she tried to resist and failed, but the resistance result in only her spirit being sent out and her body remained.
Youngtsuki accidentally possessed the body and thinking 'this isn't me', her magic turned the body to look like her.
So now that Yotsuki fused with Youngtsuki, she can also bring out the body from that space, but it keep Youngtsuki's looks.

Thanks, I kinda got lost after youngtsuki shout the teacher soul out and how the space still existing after that, thought it disappeared after she fused.

That was a bit convoluted for a last chapter, but I guess everything worked out fine. Nice end.
As I said before, I'd have like there to be a bit more to it than just this internal conflict that gets all resolved by the heroine basically being more accepting of herself and that's it then - it's so typical - but eh. Could be worse.

This ending was extremely underwhelming and, honestly, kinda destroyed my interest in this Manga by its insistence on making Yotsuki completely blameless for anything.
The lead up to this end was actually really interesting, bringing up how powerful Yotsuki's magic was and how it can be extremely dangerous if she doesn't learn to control it. It points towards a bunch of bad things she has done sub-consciously with her magic that have had major impacts on the world around her. It puts forward that she killed not only her parents but her teacher through her magic. It's an actually interesting moral question of how much responsibility can a child truly have, and does having massive magical power require imposing more responsibility on a child. How much can they be expected to really do and should they carry guilt for their actions forward?
And then in these past 2 chapters it just goes "Nah, she did nothing wrong" with both of these.
The Teacher 'died' because of her own interference and explicitly states that she can't blame others for her own actions. This isn't Yotsuki's fault and even if it was Yotsuki revives her anyways so whatever.
Her Parents died because they set the fire to begin with. The father explicitly declares he is at fault for everything and declares he 'failed as a father' while the mother just gets to say 'I'm sorry' even though in the flashback she was right there with him but whatever. Either way, this is no longer Yotsuki's fault.
It just seems adamantly resistant to making the MC actually confront any personal failures. Even the 'Flaw' of Yotsuki is basically just 'no one else loved her so she closed herself off' which again, is more of a flaw of the people around her. She 'learns to accept herself' but there's nothing actually bad that she did that she needs to live with going forward.
Yotsuki has no truly self-caused faults or failures. That's fine for just a random adventure story where the focus is more on the wonder of the world they are exploring, but you can't have a Dramatic Story with a Personal Journey centered on Personal Growth when the Protagonist has no faults.
Coco remains the superior Cute Girl Learning Magic.
