Afterword

You have my deepest thanks for picking up this book, “Cooking With Wild Game.” I’m the author, EDA. I would definitely feel grateful if you remember me.

This work was originally serialized on the novel publishing site “Shousetsuka ni Narou (Become a Novelist)” in August of 2014. As I write this afterword in January of 2015, the ending for the folks of the forest’s edge remains far off in the distance, and the series is still in progress.

It’s thanks to everyone who supported me as the book was being serialized that I now have the honor of getting it published like this. I truly am grateful, from the depths of my heart.

I tried my hardest to make something that would be enjoyable both to the people who have supported me up until now, as well as the people picking this book up for the first time, but how do you think it turned out? I’d certainly be glad if it meets your tastes.

The protagonist is thrown into a parallel world, and forms bonds with others by using his cooking skills! I started writing this story thanks to the inspiration of that single idea. From there, though, things sure have developed in an interesting way, sometimes going just as originally planned and other times diverging greatly, and with unexpected characters playing big parts while characters who were supposed to be important fade into the shadows.

It’s precisely those uncertain elements that give a story its dynamism, though! Or at least, that’s what I tell myself as I struggle onwards, day by day. I’m half anxiously watching over Asuta, Ai Fa and the other characters, wondering what their fates will be myself, and I think that’s what makes it so much fun. And nothing could make me happier than if you readers have shared in that joy.

Just let me finish by giving thanks to my editor at Hobby Japan, Kochimo for your wonderful illustrations, everyone else involved with the production of this book, and of course all of you who purchased it. And with that, I put down my pen.
