Afterword

Thank you for picking up this book! This is the author, Zappon.

Volume 11 starts a new arc. To still be writing after Red and Rit’s engagement… Whether a light novel series continues is entirely up to the support of the readers. Thanks to all of you, I’ve been able to chronicle their story this far.

Thank you so much!

And thanks to all of your passion, I have another thing to report!

A second season of the anime has been confirmed! Yay!

The first season was well-received in Japan and internationally, and it enjoyed a tremendous response. The anime is only getting a second season because you all enjoyed it all over the world. This afterword should be in the translated version, and while it might take longer to reach international readers, I want to express my gratitude to them, too.

The work on it has only just started, but Director Hoshino from the first season and the rest of the staff are hard at work making an interesting anime! Please look forward to more news!

Let’s talk a bit about the main series.

Volume 11 was a story of family and Tanta’s growth. Unlike Al, who grew up during a specific incident, the situation of Tanta becoming aware of his blessing and being forced to choose between his dream and blessing is a more common situation in the world. When Red and Rit have a child, they’ll have the same sort of things to deal with that appeared in this book.

This was also a story of summer vacation and the beach. It was winter when Ruti came to Zoltan, so it’s been a long time since swimsuit season, but summer has finally arrived!

Hooray!

I hope you enjoyed Yasumo’s wonderful cover and interior illustrations as much as I did.

In addition to the anime, the other adaptations are progressing smoothly.

Masahiro Ikeno’s manga has reached the climax in volume 3 of the light novel. It’s a magnificent depiction of Ruti and Tisse’s emotions and a must-read.

Volume 1 of Mutsuki Higashioji’s spinoff starring Rit is currently on sale. I’d be honored if you gave it a try as well.

The video game adaptation is also still available on Steam and enjoying good reviews.

This book could not have happened without the help of many, many people.

Thank you, Yasumo, for the beautiful illustrations. Ruti in her swimsuit was adorable. I was so happy that I wrote those scenes.

A book coming to press doesn’t happen without outstanding work by proofreaders, designers, printers, and everyone else involved in the production. My sincerest gratitude goes out to all of them.

To my main editor going forward, Iwata, thank you for bringing this book into existence. Your support made it possible to complete. I look forward to working with you next time, too!
