I feel certain that the great god of the dead and Shikieiki did such a thing for milady because of her selfless sacrifice and her noble spirit. Her power is great, but she wields it with restraint. She is a kind and just Lady, and entirely worthy of the blessing given to her by the gods.
...ah, Komachi-sama is a wonderful teller of tales, is she not?

Hello, immortal. Fancy a grilled fish?
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!~abruptly, a crack appears in reality, a vertical, person-high one — and then two more horizontal cracks joined to it, and it opened outward. A door.~
~Jame stands, abruptly~ Mother Ragga?
~From inside, a cackle, and a yell~ Who else would it be, girl. You're late!
~Jame looks around~ I'm sorry. Looks like I'll have to go for a bit; clearly the Earth Wife has plans for me. I"ll try and be back soon ...
~stumbles over the doorway and pulls the door shut behind her~
back later!

A brighter future for a darker age.*smiles a little sadly* It's strange... at first I thought it was some great thing, being immortal, being able to be reckless and all. Oh, usually nothing that would be much of a danger to others, but definitely would've killed me if such a thing were possible. Then the novelty of the whole thing wore off. Not so fun then. I try not to think of it too much; eternity is a pretty depressing thing.
Though it does have its advantages, I suppose. And I've never thought of myself as someone to be pitied or felt sorry for.
Stupid doomed timeline...Aww I'm sorry... But I really don't mind, actually.
(The ghosts fly back after gathering some more magic fruits, and sit down to listen. Not much else to do on this world anyway.)
Wizard Needs Food BadlyAt least you seem to be better off than poor Mokou. A desire for revenge drove her to drink of the elixir, and now she and her rival kill each other almost every day. She has still managed to do some good, aiding those who might otherwise become lost in the bamboo fortress, but she cannot escape her own fury... I saw her by the bank of the Sanzu River once, trying to cross it, but she was unable to so much as set foot in the water. Eventually, she broke down crying. I've told no one else of this save milady Yuyuko.
Immortality and the afterlife, to be precise. The afterlife is not so grim as it's made out to be... nor is immortality such a good thing.
...I don't have anyone to spar with, but I should practice my stances and motions, at least. Please excuse me.
Going to class in a few minutes

...oh right, I was telling a story, wasn't I?
There stood Yukari Yakumo, the Youkai of The Boundary. She was a major Youkai already then, though she did not hold much sway in the Higan yet. She commanded me to let her take care of lady Yuyuko. It was outrageous, of course. First of all, noone except The Judges could tell a Reaper what to do. Second, all dead were to cross the Sanzu River. But lady Yakumo insisted and I had no choice but to let Shikieiki-sama take care of it.
Now, I do not know what happened in the Courtroom of Souls, but Lady Yuyuko came out a spirit, but with the greatest spirit power I have ever sensed in a ghost. I took Yukari and Yuyuko to the Hakugyokuro on Shikieiki-sama's orders. They spent a week there together, before I heard the announcement of lady Yuyuko becoming the new ruler of Hakugyokuro, The Ghost Princess.
