Happy Life
Auto-translated
- Well, you've given me quite a task – an ungrateful and unsolvable one. This isn't what I wanted to hear, not at all... - she inhaled and exhaled, allowing herself a few more moments of silence.
Folding her hands together and looking thoughtfully at Miko-san, she finally straightens up:
- But medicine doesn't have to be tasty, does it? Whether physical or spiritual. A child still has to eat their broccoli. And if you're willing to feed it to me, despite my reluctance, then no capricious parishioner will be able to hide from it, - she takes a Japanese inhale and exhale, and nods. - Alright, I'll try. Even if it doesn't bring any results, at least this advice comes from you, and that means it has much more meaning than anything that the unpleasant reality could offer. I would never have been able to answer myself the way you answered me. You've given me a fresh perspective, one that I would have ignored until the very end. In other words, it's not a question of how "far" you are from me or how "close". Your path is paved by your will and your heart, and it is capable of offering something unique, something that is uniquely yours. Recently, I've heard and even said myself the phrase, "the death of such-and-such a person would be a loss for humanity." Let's not delve into the meaning from a negative perspective, but let's just say that you definitely have something to offer humanity, Miko-san.
Smiling, she takes out the figurine of the abbess and a gift amethyst.
- The first one was given to me by Edge Lord-kun. Even in such a fantastical distance from home, it helped me remember and understand many things – my roots, my upbringing, and my purpose. To find the right path in the foggy haze of uncertainty and the prejudices of others. He certainly wouldn't mind, and for her, it would be a loss to collect dust somewhere in a safe or on a distant shelf, so – now it's yours. Absorb this image into your heart, and if you ever have doubts, return to it, and it will definitely help you, just as it once helped me. And the second one is simply a gift for all the invaluable help you've given me, both recently and in general. As for your previous question... I will train you. After all, isn't that the duty of a kannushi? Or a jingushi? ... Although, never mind, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Sonata was right in the end – what an irony of fate. Some prefectures would have scolded me for this, but they're not here, so... - she concluded with a wave of her hand.

My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.
