I'm probably not long for this world.
Doing youkai extermination in this day and age, there must be many who hate my guts. I'm sorry for not saying anything, but I felt that if I did, you would've cut all ties with me. I was going to take it to my grave, but I thought that this way you could at least have some closure. Which is why I'm writing this letter now, for when that time comes....You really......were an idiot...I truly enjoyed the short time we had together. The folks of this village called me by name. Treated me as a fellow person. Taught me how to behave.
I might be too much of an oaf to say thanks. But I want you to know that I'm protecting this village in your name.
Please be happy. Don't worry about me.—oe
